What to Do When the Headhunting Pulls Up Nothing? / A Little Hundred-Demon Night Parade

If she herself didn't believe she could bring these three children to Rhodes Island, how could she convince them to believe it?

Then Suika took out the map and discussed the details with Xia Li.

It was already evening when they finished. After dinner, Suika said goodbye to the others and headed to the hotel in the city.

"Marlon, who are you waiting for here?"

When she arrived at the hotel entrance, she saw a familiar figure standing in the center of the lobby and went over to greet him.

Upon hearing Suika's voice, Marlon looked over with a broad smile.

"I'm here to wait for Ms. Suika. Thank you for recommending me to the higher-ups. I received news from the main family this morning that they recognize the value of this place and are preparing to increase their investment in Karaton..."

Chapter 131 What if the Grand Feast fails to deliver the goods?

Suika was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Swire Family to be so efficient.

The news had already reached Marlon in just a few days.

She thought that given the efficiency of these Western nobles, it would take at least a few months, several meetings, and several banquets before a decision could be made.

"I have to thank you for your kind words, madam."

"If we follow the family's internal promotion path, I think I'll need at least another year to maintain the family's support, and we'll need to get a family member into Karaton first."

Marlon's eyes were indeed full of gratitude as he looked at Suika.

As he himself said, there is indeed a promotion path within the family, but this path is also crowded with people.

For someone with the lowly rank of a city garrison captain, gaining the support of his family would be extremely difficult.

But things are different now. With just one sentence from Suika, he has reduced his efforts by at least a year and has also come to the attention of the higher-ups.

If he seizes this opportunity, a meteoric rise to success is within his reach.

That's why he was especially grateful to Suika.

"You're welcome. Just do a good job and don't let Elisa down."

"Please feel free to let me know if you need anything in the future. By the way, this is a villa in the inner district; I hope you can..."

Marlon took out a stack of documents and handed them to Suika, Suika quickly stopped him.

"That's unnecessary; I won't be staying in Karaton."

You've come at just the right time.

I'm leaving here tomorrow to go somewhere else.

"It's hard to say when I'll be back."

Suika finished speaking, Marlon seemed a little anxious, after all, someone had just helped him.

As a result, he left before he could repay the person. Wouldn't his superiors think that he hadn't handled things well?

"It's not your fault, nor is it Karaton's fault."

I am a Catastrophe Messenger; it is my mission to walk the wilderness and investigate the omens that precede danger.

Besides, I also took on a mission this time.

If you really want to repay me, there's a bar in the Infected neighborhood called Verdant Spark. The people there are my friends. Just make sure they don't cause them any trouble."

Suika finished speaking, he nodded repeatedly, and he knew what she meant by "causing trouble."

As a gathering place for Infected, this area is considered a low-class area by most people. Many military and police personnel, after being mistreated or losing money, will use the pretext of so-called population checks or arresting suspects to cause trouble for Infected.

Unfortunately, there were indeed many Infected smuggled themselves into Karaton, so their excuses were quite plausible.

If the Infected they catch obediently lie on the ground and are searched, that's fine. But if they dare to resist in the slightest, these military police can show them what true freedom in Victoria is like in no time.

If he publicly protects Verdant Spark, then unless there are enemies who are dissatisfied with him and deliberately cause trouble, most military and police personnel will give him face and not go there to stage accidents or cause trouble.

"No problem, Verdant Spark, right? I've got it."

Seeing that Suika was determined to leave, he did not try to stop her.

Moreover, Suika's departure was a good thing for him.

After all, if she stayed here and tried to ask for something in return for the favor she had done for him, he wouldn't be able to offer much.

The property he presented this time was the best "gift" he could offer.

For Suika, her decisive departure would allow Marlon to transfer his gratitude to Verdant Spark.

Although he won't openly offer much help to Verdant Spark, his secret guarantee can save them from a lot of messy troubles.

The two of them tacitly completed this "deal".

Back in the house, Suika considered her options. With her current fighting strength, she was more than capable of protecting herself, but she was still somewhat overwhelmed when it came to protecting the three children.

Looking at it this way, it's time to strengthen myself.

After all, having gone through this journey, she had a pretty good understanding of her previous abilities.

She discovered that she might have hit a bottleneck in her most crucial ability: the balance between Density and Sparsity.

Because she can only control this ability around the area near her own body, such as her fingertips.

She remembered that Suika could use this thing to create an effect similar to a black hole.

Reimu also used the ability of Density and Sparsity to spread the vacuum cleaner outside the body.

Not to mention gathering a crowd for a banquet.

But she tried, and no matter what she did, she couldn't use the condensing effect any further away from herself, which she regretted for a long time.

After all, she had also thought about doing cool things like carrying a bag of rice up several floors or Planetary Devastation.

She felt that the secret probably Offering Box.

Thinking of this, she took out her bank card.

"Can I withdraw some money from this card...?"

"Afterwards, giving the little tiger a large amulet in exchange for some money should break even."

With that in mind, she dialed the hotel manager's number.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. The bank was already closed at this time, but after Suika made a phone call, a group of people came out of the bank in less than half an hour and handed the bag full of cash to Suika.

Although Lungmen Dollars are not the official currency of the Great Yan, they are not much inferior to Victoria Gold Coins in the eyes of the Offering Box.

At this point in time, the exchange rate between the Offering Box and the Victoria Gold Notes was 1:2.

The 100,000 Victoria Gold Notes in front of me are only worth about 200,000 Lungmen Dollars.

With 100,000 yuan still hidden away in her pocket, a grand Grand Feast was laid out before Suika.

No, it's three brilliant moves.

Holding a wad of cash, she hesitated for a few seconds before throwing the money into her skill.

After all, most of the skills of Touhou Project's various miscellaneous characters are flashy and have a huge range, making them quite effective at protecting people.

I'll try this one first to see how it goes. If I'm lucky enough, I'll try others.

Of course, ever since I learned how to draw my own lucky charms, I've definitely had to try this kind of gacha pull for myself.

Place a stone plaque with Great Fortune Sigil between your eyebrows.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, may the Supreme Lord Lao manifest his divine power and grant me a single, decisive strike!"

After reciting the "spell," she tossed the money into the skill box.

Then she felt herself leave her original place and appear on a high mountain.

I was sitting at a table in a bar, with several blurry figures sitting around me, one of which gradually became clearer.

With its towering body and single red horn, this is the renowned Red Yuugi Hoshiguma from Touhou Project, also known as Terra Hoshiguma's alternate form.

Aside from their hair color, the two are very similar in height and personality; both are the kind of "tomboy" who look clumsy and rough but are actually quite sensitive.

At this moment, she stood up, looking drunk, and walked to the edge of a cliff not far away. Then she turned her head and looked at Suika.

Chapter 132 Little Night Parade of a Hundred Demons

"Hiccup... Suika, Suika, I recently came up with a new spell card, come and see what I think of it!"

Having said that, Yuugi Hoshiguma boldly raised his hand and swung his fist down the mountain...

The next second, a huge gust of wind descended from the sky, changing the color of the earth and eclipsing the sun and moon. Meanwhile, barrages of bullets also fell downwards with the gale, smashing the ground below into a mess.

Yuugi Hoshiguma opened her arms as if embracing the world, the wind whipping her hair wildly.

"Hiccup, that's it..."

The breeze on Mount Oe... it feels so good...

The screen pauses here, then crashes.

Suika felt her vision return to the present.

"Hiss~" She rubbed her head, not expecting such a big surprise on the first try.

As one of the Oni Four Heavenly Kings, he comes from Yuugi Hoshiguma's spell card "Ōeyama Arashi" (meaning "Mount Oe Tempest").

Although it's not one of the Four Heavenly Kings' Three-Step Instant Kill, Suika believes this move best showcases Yuugi Hoshiguma's power.

After all, the sheer force of a punch can inflict unparalleled damage on an enemy, something even someone as incredibly strong as Suika cannot achieve.

After learning this move, not only can she use the same spell cards, but more importantly, she can also perform a normal attack with a punch like Yuugi Hoshiguma, and she will no longer be complained about for having too short an attack range.

Suika looked at her fist. If she used this move when it was enlarged, she wondered if she could create a storm with a single punch.

In the other half, in the Old Hell, Yuugi Hoshiguma opened his eyes, then rubbed his temples—why was he dreaming about the past, and about that guy...?

I heard she's staying at that Hakurei Shrine Maiden's house. Why don't we go visit her and see this old friend?

As a ghost, she acted on her whims. After swaying slightly, she picked up her wine glass and strode out of her house with her long legs...

After successfully shipping the goods on her first try, she calmed herself down.

According to the theory of gacha pulls in games, after the first pull, there is a high probability that you will enter a period of bad cards, commonly known as "padding the pool".

She was slightly conflicted about whether to continue drawing after the shipment was completed.

After taking a big gulp of wine, Suika, with slightly tipsy eyes, clenched her fist and said, "The timid starve, the bold thrive; today is the day to escape poverty and enter good fortune!"

As for the next gacha pulls, since she had already gotten something from the skill pool, she temporarily shifted her focus to the other ability and item pools.

She put the prop aside after only a second of thought.

Gensokyo does indeed have many powerful items, such as Remi's Holy Lance Gungnir.

However, most of these items are not suitable for protecting people, and the more powerful the item, the more demanding the conditions for its use. It's much simpler to just strengthen yourself directly.

After excluding the item pool, the objective becomes clear.

She decisively invested the money into the ability pool.

The next second, her eyes turned strange, because this investment did not grant her any new abilities, but rather removed the restriction that she could only apply the abilities of Density and Sparsity to herself and those around her.

Once the distance limit is removed, Suika can expand her range to an incredibly terrifying extent, and her previous attempt to cosplay Deva Path Pain was not difficult either; she can even achieve the level of hand-crafted Planetary Devastation.

It's even possible to go a step further and learn from a certain Konoha dance king to unleash a meteor shower from the sky.

The only problem is whether the meteorite can penetrate the veil of light in Terra's sky.

It's undoubtedly more satisfying to break through the limitations of the skills that best suit you than to acquire new ones.

The potential of the "Density and Sparsity" ability is very high. As long as I Reckon, this thing is no less powerful than a weapon based on causality.

After all, if someone can create a black hole by hand, then causality is really nothing!

These two consecutive good products have left Suika Le completely bewildered.

As expected, only Grand Feast can produce miracles, and spending money is the only true measure of success; 100,000 can make some shameless person do anything.

Having confirmed that she was incredibly lucky today, Suika mustered her courage and turned her attention back to the skill pool.

After all, their available options were still too limited.

The offensive power of Three-Step Ruin and Mount Oe Tempest is undeniable, but while their offensive power is abundant, their defensive power is insufficient.

Flying is limited to oneself, and even if one could carry several people forward, it would still be quite troublesome.

The Ice Burst from a certain player (⑨) can use a massive barrage of projectiles to suppress enemies and protect teammates, but reality is not a game; spells do not have the ability to distinguish friend from foe.
