Reaper's system is a bit weird

Chapter 30 is more and more like the original version (two chapters in one)

"Huh, it's finally done."

Duan Mu wiped the ashes off his face, stood in front of the building and nodded in satisfaction.

"Duan Mu, what you do is really beautiful." The middle-aged woman on the side looked at the brand-new home in front of her, and her face suddenly showed joy: "No wonder my neighbors look for it when winter comes. When you repair a house and sit in the house, you can obviously feel that the temperature of the room is increasing.”

[Hui Meili's favorability +3, gain 3 experience points. 】

"Now my child shouldn't be so disgusted." Emily showed a happy smile on her face: "You don't know, I have a son who just died not long ago. I love it."

The corners of Duan Mu's eyes twitched, what he said...why did it sound so awkward.

However, he also understood that Emilia meant that a child who had recently arrived in Soul Society was assigned to her family and became her son.

"That's really congratulations." A strange look flashed in Duan Mu's eyes.

to be frank……

Hui Meili's ability to increase her favorability is really beyond Duan Mu's expectations. You must know that no matter how hard Duan Mu worked when she received her commissions before, she would find faults everywhere, and then use various reasons to reduce the commissions she paid Fees, and sometimes even renege on debts.

Her reputation in the West 7th District is also notoriously mean. Many residents of the West 7th District who have a good relationship with Duan Mu persuaded Duan Mu not to accept the job she entrusted.

And I can't be stingy, the house is leaking everywhere, but I never thought of asking someone to fix it. Two years ago, Duan Mu even told her that if necessary, he could help her repair the house for free. What he got in return was Emily's extremely wary eyes!
In the end, Duan Mu simply gave up and continued to deal with him.

Originally, he thought that this year would be the same as in previous years, and that the other party would not come to him to repair the house, but when he finished all the commissions to repair the house, and it was winter, Emily came to him, and for the first time, he handed over the house. commission fee.

It really is a completely changed person.

Seeing the gentle smile on Emily's face, and the temperament completely different from Duan Mu's memory, he couldn't help sighing in his heart the greatness of the word 'mother'.

But adopting a child can actually make such a big change in a person.

"My Xiaojie's child is very smart. He is only 11 years old, and he can already write a lot of characters, and even recite a lot of ancient prose..." Hui Meili talked about her child as if she was chanting scriptures.

Although Duan Mu was a little impatient in his heart, he didn't show the slightest sign on his face. Instead, he listened very seriously and added a sentence from time to time.

From the eyes of others, the communication between the two...is like two middle-aged women getting together to chat about family affairs. One of them keeps talking about his child, while the other keeps nodding his head in agreement.

"The only bad thing is that he's too delicate." Emilia said with a smile, "However, it's my fault. I haven't maintained the house much. It's normal for him to feel cold."

"After all, it's a child, it's normal to be delicate."

"Yes."

Emily nodded, then she thought of something, and sighed, "It's just that he kept saying something I couldn't understand. I asked him what he wanted, and he said he wanted to lie in the kotatsu and watch it." TV', and want to play that thing called a 'handheld game console'."

"Ok?"

Duan Mu, who was a little impatient at first, suddenly became energetic.

Kotatsu?

television?

hand-held gaming device?
Duan Mu has not heard these modern vocabulary for a long time. People who come to the world of corpses and souls rarely talk about things in life. In addition, Duan Mu has never deliberately inquired about it, so this is his first time. This is the first time I heard news about the present world.

In just one sentence, Duan Mu can already analyze a lot of useful information from it.

Televisions are still a modern product, having been born a long time ago, but handhelds are definitely a modern product, even the earliest handhelds were only popularized near the end of the 90s.

From this point of view, the day when Seireitei will undergo great changes should not be far away.

but……

It has nothing to do with me, no matter what happens in Jingling Court, it should not affect me.

Moreover, Duan Mu calculated the approximate age he was in a long time ago. When he was practicing in Shiba's house, Miss Kuzuru said that the current captain of the [-]th division is Hitsugaya Toshiro!

"By the way, you also died in recent years, you should know what these things are?" Emily asked.

Duan Mu smiled when he heard the words: "The kotatsu is actually the '燵' that many people have in their homes, but the current world's kotatsu does not use charcoal and carbon balls to generate heat, but an energy called 'electricity'; as for TVs and handhelds It is a machine, but it is a product of this world, and it is probably only found in Jinglingting in the world of corpses and souls."

"It turned out to be Yan!" Hui Meili looked stunned, and said in admiration: "In the past 100 years, the world has really changed a lot."

"..." Duan Mu.

To be honest, in the past five years since he came to Soul Soul Realm, his concept of time has become more and more blurred.

The people here talk about decades and hundreds of years at every turn, so that Duan Mu, an older young man who has never exceeded the age of 27 in life and death, has a feeling of becoming a baby here.

The two chatted for a while, Duan Mu looked at the sky, bid farewell and left.

As the end of the year approached, the weather turned colder, and the clothes of pedestrians on the street became thicker. Duan Mu, who was wearing his usual black work clothes, looked a little out of place.

However, this dress has also become Duan Mu's symbol, and he can be recognized from a distance on the street.

"Duan Mu boy, is this the end of work?"

"Duan Mu, take the cake I just baked, take it back and eat it with Xiaoyue."

"Brother Duan Mu, when will you come play with me again?"

"..."

Walking on the streets of West 7th District, all the residents who saw Duan Mu would call him down to chat for a while, but Duan Mu was too embarrassed to refuse, but when he walked out of West 7th District, it was already completely dark.

Because it happened to be dinner time, there were many small cloth pockets containing food in his hand.

While walking home, Duan Mu counted the experience gained during the month of resumption of business.

"With 980 experience points, I actually got nearly a thousand points in a month. It would be great if I could do this every month."

Having said that, Duan Mu also knows that this is almost impossible. This month's harvest can be said to be the last peak season before the year. In addition to the winter and the new year, many people will repair their houses, so this month's commission will be Surprisingly many.

the most important is……

The higher the favorability, the more difficult it is to improve. Many of Duan Mu's old customers, the favorability has fallen into a bottleneck; in this case, Duan Mu can only maintain the relationship with the old customers, and at the same time find ways to develop new customers , which made his master house business bigger and bigger.

Recently, Duan Mu has even launched door-to-door medical services. Although most of them prescribe some herbal medicines, if it is not necessary, he rarely uses Hui Dao to heal customers.

Of course, in his spare time, Duan Mu did not let go of his cultivation. It can be said that he lived a fulfilling life every day.

Although the progress cannot be called rapid progress, it can be regarded as step-by-step.

Current experience points: 2800
During this month, Duan Mu only used less than [-] experience points, all of which were spent on things he didn't understand in cultivation.

"After a few days when you're free, go visit Big Sister Konghe." Duan Mu sighed. If he wanted to gain a lot of experience points, he really wanted to start with Big Sister Konghe.

……

Back in District 38, standing outside the store, I heard a noise coming from inside.

There was no surprise on Duan Mu's face, but he opened the store door as usual, and a burst of lively atmosphere rushed over.

In the wide hall of the store, big men with fierce faces sat in groups of three or four on the tables and chairs in the hall, chatting while drinking.

Those who don't know the scene in front of them may think this is some kind of tavern.

although……

Today's Wanshiwu, unknowingly, really has the service of a tavern.

More strictly speaking...

This is more like a meeting place for dangerous elements.

These people are naturally those evil people. One month later, not only did the number not decrease, but it became more for some reason.

When they first came here, Da Ao and the others were very afraid of Duan Mu, but after getting along for a long time, when they found that the usual Duan Mu was unexpectedly easy to get along with, these heartless guys gradually let go. Freed from the self, not so restrained.

Although Duan Mu told them to do whatever they wanted, they would usually gather together and drink in the shop.

At first, the neighbors nearby were a little afraid of Da Ao and the others, but over time they got used to this group of men with fierce faces, but they only fought against each other in private, and they all put on a smiling face to the outside world.

I only think that these people are tall and vicious guys, but I don’t know that these guys are really dangerous, and they will go to the area behind the number to fight every day. In addition to the fun, there are more financial needs...

Regarding this point, Duan Mu did not intervene, because this is the rule that has been maintained for thousands of years in the lower numbered area, and except for some special cases, normal people would not choose to live in the area where the law of the jungle is followed. It deserves it.

As for why there are more financial needs because of Uzuki, it is because...

In addition to Kanban Niang, Uzuki has expanded new businesses. She bought a batch of the worst quality wine from the barmaid, and then sold it to these villains at five times the price.

Although the service is basically the same and the attitude of the shop assistants is extremely bad, none of these guys care about it. Instead, they often stay for a day, as if they use this place as a temporary place to relax. The wind is coming.

At first there were people making troubles, but they were settled by Ganjiu who had been sitting in the shop with Dao and the others, although Duan Mu also went to the area with a lower number to kill some people.

With enough deterrence, a month passed, and Uzuki's gathering place was so popular that Uzuki managed to make as much as half of Duan Mu's daily work.

Although making money is a good thing, the scene in front of him always makes Duan Mu feel that something is wrong.

"Boss Duan Mu is back!!"

As soon as Duan Mu entered the door, he saw Duan Mu with keen eyes, and the noisy voice in the shop suddenly fell silent.

"Brother Duan Mu, you have worked hard."

"I just received some 'protection fees' from the Southern Merchant here. They are all good wines. Would you like to drink some together?"

"..."

To these complimenting greetings, Duan Mu's reply was very simple, only one word.

"roll."

"okay!!"

A group of people in the shop left the Wanshiwu house in a mighty manner, went out and dispersed in a crowd, divided into several forces and headed towards their own area. After all, many of them had frictions among themselves. Together they will inevitably want to kill each other.

But all those who caused disturbances in areas with good law and order are dead, and all of them are dead, so it is better to disperse.

Facing Duan Mu's cold gaze, who was the culprit of the current situation, Da Ao said with a trembling smile: "Boss Duan Mu, then let's go back first." It was as if he was afraid that he would be beaten to death if he ran too slowly.

Duan Mu did not deny that he did have the idea of ​​killing Da Ao just now.

"I found that you seem to like counting money more and more recently." Duan Mu looked at Uzuki who was counting money at the bar, and said with a blank eye: "I didn't realize that you like doing business so much before."

"I've never had such a stupid guest before."

Uzuki replied without raising his head: "And I'm not trying to make more money for you to squander. You look through the account book. Recently, the expenditure on wine and appetizers has obviously increased."

"..."

Duan Mu opened his mouth, unable to refute.

Who wants to eat noodles without oil and water every day when they can eat fish and meat? Drinking and eating meat is better than drinking and eating wild fruits.

Well, it's time to restrain yourself from now on.

"But it's easy to affect our guests, right?"

"fine."

Uzuki smiled and said: "I called Ganjiu and Ooku, tomorrow I plan to build a staircase outside, and then open a door on the second floor, and move the business of Master House to the second floor, and the first floor will be used as a tavern. "

As soon as this remark came out, Duan Muxia thought: "You don't plan to have a stage name of Dengshi, do you?"

"what?"

"Uh, it's okay." Duan Mu said hastily.

good guy...

My master house seems to be getting closer and closer to the original version.

"What about my bedroom?"

"The space on the second floor is so big, your bedroom only takes up so much space, and it's surrounded by iron fences like a prison. The remaining space is useless." Utsuki paused, and continued: " Don't worry, the place between the office and your bedroom will be completely sealed off."

"The house of masters can only be accessed from the stairs outside, and your bedroom can only be accessed from the stairs in the tavern. Griffin and his little brother have also done a lot of work with you these days, and they can do such a simple job. So you can work normally tomorrow."

Hearing this, Duan Mu nodded.

If this is the case, he has no objections, and it would be nice to have an extra income, after all, the number of commissions that can be received after winter will decrease a lot.

"By the way, I received a commission with a good salary today."

Mao Yue took out the entrustment book from the bar and handed it to Duan Mudao: "It was jointly entrusted by several companies in District 43. They want to deliver the goods to Baidaomen, but since there are many robbers running around in District 43, I hope you can Bring some people to help escort."

Duan Mu was a little speechless when he heard the words, did he expand his business again?

"They seem to have heard that there are often many vicious guys in our store, so they came to entrust them."

"..." Duan Mu was silent for a while, ignoring the flaws in this sentence, and asked in doubt: "Shouldn't it be the purchasing season for Jingling Court?"

"I don't know much about it either."

Uzuki shook his head: "It seems that the Fourth Division will hold a vice-captain replacement ceremony in the near future, so I plan to purchase some supplies a few days in advance, and hold a banquet after the ceremony."

"That's it."

Duan Mu nodded, the strangeness in his eyes was fleeting.
