Closure, Whose Price Can Be Bought

"He's probably hanging out with some girl right now. Just you wait, sis, I'll make him sleep on the sofa sooner or later."

"Why not kick him out of the house?"

"Heh, so you're going to take him back to your room then, right? I know exactly what to do."

Exusiai an all-knowing expression on her face, then reached out and playfully wrestled with her older sister.

Meanwhile, at Rhodes Island's Medical Department, Mizuki suddenly felt a chill down her back and her nose was itchy for some reason. She couldn't tell who was talking about her. The most likely person was Exusiai, but it was also possible that the Doctor was thinking about her helping her with her official duties, or that Skadi was complaining about her having so many sister-in-laws.

"Can we begin?"

"No problem." Mizuki gave an OK sign and then placed her hand on Angelina's head.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Angelina felt a tickle in her ear, Kal'tsit glared at Mizuki, signaling him to stop his restless hands. An examination is an examination; why were you pinching her ear?

Mizuki withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly. She could only say that she had gotten used to pinching Rosemary's ears, and lately she had been wanting to touch them whenever she saw them. At noon today, Suzuran was quite shy about this, after all, her big ears were indeed hard to resist.

"Let's begin then. Don't worry, Angelina, with Mizuki here, there won't be any problems."

Warfarin took out a sample of the medicine and handed it to Angelina, even showing her an oral liquid version.

According to Warfarin and Kal'tsit, after mixing in a certain amount of Originium powder, the liquid secreted by the Mizuki Cells became transparent, perfectly blending with the Originium dust. However, for safety reasons, oral administration is still the preferred option.

"Yes, I trust everyone." This is an extremely risky task, but with Mizuki present, we can skip the unnecessary trial phases and go straight to the test. It's truly admirable that Angelina accepted it so readily.

Angelina opened the vial and drank the entire potion in one gulp. She felt nothing at all, and even couldn't help but lick her lips.

"It tastes pretty good, like grape juice."

This assessment made Warfarin and Kal'tsit a little flustered. The two looked at Mizuki, who was closing her eyes and sensing the changes happening in Angelina's body. Her expression became increasingly strange, as if she had seen Doctor suddenly become more diligent and the world had collapsed.

It took Mizuki quite a while to open her eyes, as if she was organizing her thoughts.

"This medicine is quite special, how should I put it... Angelina, please give me an injection of this."

Mizuki pointed to the wall of the Medical Department. As for why she didn't hit the table, it's because the physical abilities of the Terra are just too outrageous. When the Doctor saw them easily jump three Michael, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Ah?"

"It's okay, with your current physical condition, you probably won't feel any pain."

"Really?" Angelina was somewhat skeptical, mainly because the walls of Rhodes Island's Medical Department weren't made of bricks; they were mostly made of alloy materials, and she was a sorceress, not a warrior.

However, after seeing Mizuki nod, Angelina hesitated for a moment before throwing a punch at the wall of the Medical Department. But she was still a little scared, so she subconsciously held back her strength.

With a loud "bang," a fist-sized dent appeared on the wall of the Medical Department, and Angelina stared at her hand in disbelief.

"It really doesn't hurt at all, and am I really that strong?"

"It wasn't big before, but it's definitely not small now."

Mizuki couldn't resist pinching Angelina's ear, then pointed to herself.

"What do you think of me?"

"Ah, Mizuki, you..."

Angelina originally wanted to say "Mizuki, you're a good person" directly, but when she looked at Mizuki's face, she suddenly froze, her face turning red at a visible speed, and the fluffy fox tail behind her swayed faster.

My first impression was that he was cute, my second impression was that he was kind of handsome, my third impression was that he was reliable, and then my fourth impression... I felt that we were a good match for marriage.

"I knew this would be a side effect."

Mizuki couldn't help but cover her face, and gently touched Angelina's forehead with her other hand, making her instantly realize how terrible her thoughts had been.

"So what happened?"

Warfarin didn't quite understand, but Kal'tsit guessed what was going on.

"The drug is very effective, but Angelina doesn't feel it much. Also, it's possible that because she tried the drug before, Angelina body has been subtly affected... Now her punch has at least three tons of force, and her physical strength and endurance have greatly improved."

"Isn't this all a good thing... Wait a minute, why didn't Kal'tsit and I have the same effect? We were so full of alcohol!"

Kal'tsit quickly stuffed Warfarin's mouth with gauze to prevent her from saying anything shocking. Kal'tsit probably already knew what Mizuki was going to say. In fact, Angelina's changes were all expected, because Mizuki's cells were derived from Seaborn, and it was already known that Seaborn cells could modify other life forms.

That's why Mizuki is needed to control these changes to prevent any irreversible accidents.

"So the side effect you're talking about is that Angelina now has a different kind of affection for you?"

"Her thirst for life is stronger than most people's, which is why she was attracted to me. Before, she just thought I was a decent person, but now..."

Angelina is feeling a bit better now. Just now, she almost thought of dragging Mizuki to get married. This desire stems from her body's instinctive craving, and it can even influence her originally clear consciousness.

"So, Angelina's health is fine?"

"No, the inhibitor is indeed very effective. The remaining Originium activity in her body has been suppressed, and it hasn't affected the use of Originium Arts. It's just that we need to figure out a way to deal with this side effect first."

Rhodes Island's Oripathy inhibitor is very effective, but the side effects are a bit troublesome. We'll have to observe for a while. If these side effects only appear when facing him and gradually subside, then Mizuki will be much more at ease. I'm just afraid it's a permanent side effect.

"I'm familiar with this side effect." Warfarin pulled the gauze out of her mouth and then touched her stomach. "But why haven't I developed this superhuman physique after doing it so many times? It's not like I haven't taken it orally before."

"Shut up." Kal'tsit stuffed another roll of bandage into Warfarin's mouth, then looked at the blushing Angelina. Of course, the girl understood what Warfarin meant, and her eyes kept darting between Mizuki and Warfarin.

"That's all for today, Angelina. You can go home now. If you feel unwell, just call me or Mizuki."

"Ah, okay, I'll be going now, Dr. Kal'tsit."

Angelina shook her fist, a little worried that she might be able to crush the bowl when she went back to eat.

"As for you, go to the bar first. I know Closure; she should be here by now."

"I'll come to your place tonight, what about the Rosemary?"

"I'll send her to find Huang, don't worry."

Kal'tsit grabbed Warfarin by the neck. Perfect, tonight she'll have this girl help her out!

Mizuki wisely ignored Warfarin's pleading gaze, grabbed her umbrella, and left without looking back, leaving Warfarin in tears.

"Waaaaah!" (You just wait, I'll kick you out of bed sooner or later!)

Of course, before that, she still had to face Kal'tsit's sanctions.

Chapter 265 Closure Can Be Bought with Money

When Kal'tsit offered to introduce her to someone, Closure was dismissive. She was a top 100 Sarkaz youth, a 42-star operator of Rhodes Island, the destroyer of Kazdel's cyberspace, and Rhodes Island's greatest engineer (and many other titles omitted). The reason she was single was simply because she didn't want to find someone; how could she possibly be unable to?

However, when she heard that the other party's monthly salary was ten million, Closure had to admit that she was very tempted. But she was not the kind of woman who would lie in bed and be manipulated by someone just because she was paid. She just wanted to see what kind of person Kal'tsit was introducing her to.

"But you didn't tell me that the person you introduced was your lover!"

In the bar where only the two of them were, Mizuki wiped her glasses as she listened to Closure yelling at Kal'tsit on the other end of the phone.

Although the affair between Mizuki and Kal'tsit wasn't widely known, Closure knew about it. She was closer to both Kal'tsit and the Doctor, so she naturally knew about Mizuki and Kal'tsit's relationship. She even bought some things for Kal'tsit recently.

"Stop talking nonsense, he's not my lover."

Kal'tsit glanced at Warfarin, who was hanging and swinging, then returned to her office without looking back.

"Not your lover? Then... Holy crap, why don't you go find Goldenglow and dye your hair green? I must be out of my mind to come here. Are you kidding me? No, you're having your man kid me!"

As soon as Closure finished speaking, Mizuki took out a communicator from his pocket. Since these devices and the umbrella used as a weapon could not become consciousness like himself, he usually kept them in dimensional rifts for easy access.

The sender was Kal'tsit, and the message was very simple, just a few words.

Mizuki thought for a moment, then reached into the crack, pulled out her bank card, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

"There's about ten million in this card. Kal'tsit said the amount she'll give you depends on your attitude."

The Columbia National Bank's gold card is only issued to its top-tier members, requiring a minimum savings of ten million. Closure dreams of having one.

She had no doubt about the value of the card; she could even feel its allure to her, which was enough to prove everything!

"Kal'tsit, I'm going to book a neurosurgery appointment at Rhodes Island Medical Department first... Oh no, you must have misheard me. I said I have a mental illness, oh right, right."

After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, Closure hung up the phone and, without saying a word, reached out and grabbed the bank card from the table. Then, her eyes lit up as she looked at Mizuki.

"Tell me, how do you want to play?"

"This attitude changed too quickly," Mizuki blinked. He didn't have much of an impression of Closure, and his material needs were very low at the moment. Although the Doctor and Kal'tsit had both said that Closure was shameless and could be easily bribed with money, this contrast was still surprising.

Mizuki couldn't help Closure scratched her face, a little embarrassed. Actually, she had just been thinking that if Mizuki really wanted to do something, she would throw the card back and then make a phone call to continue cursing Kal'tsit. Did she really think she was that kind of person? Oh, of course, it wasn't impossible not to throw the card back.

"Miss Closure, you really are a very interesting person, just as the Doctor and Kal'tsit said."

"Tch, you're just bragging. Do you think those two would find me funny? They'd definitely tell you I can be manipulated by anyone as long as I have money. Seriously... I have principles too!"

"What if I told you that even if I do nothing, a fixed amount of ten million will be deposited into that card every month?"

Visibly, Closure's body twitched stiffly like a rusty doll. Mizuki recalled the rumors on Rhodes Island, some of which said that Closure was actually a robot, disguised as Bloodfiend, which was why she preferred machine oil to Mizuki wondered if she should put some lubricant on her neck.

"Um, Mizuki, what position do you like? We Bloodfiend Demons are flexible enough for any position. Or should I go change my clothes? I have all kinds of clothes in my shop, maid outfits or something more stimulating isn't out of the question. If you want some underwear..."

Closure's mouth was covered by Mizuki's hand to prevent the book from being shut down and ending. However, Mizuki could easily tell what she was talking about from the feeling in her hand: one million per time... That's a really generous price.

"Didn't you just say you were very principled?"

Mizuki let go, seemingly realizing that there was a lot of profit to be made in this matter, so she became much more shameless.

"Having principles is relative. Ten million, or ten million every month, you can go out on the street and pick up any person, male or female, it doesn't matter. How many people can resist the temptation of ten million? Especially since you're so good-looking."

"Good-looking" was a description Mizuki had never heard before. After all, compared to Ansel's androgynous appearance, Mizuki was clearly more obviously a boy. But it didn't seem to matter if he was described that way.

"Can Closure resist such temptation?"

"Absolutely not, at least... I can't lie to myself, I really do want your money, I was really carried away when I was talking just now."

Money is very tempting, and it's even more so for Closure. After all, it's not asking her to do anything that would betray everyone; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed no matter how much money she was offered.

"Then you can have it."

"Ah."

Closure wanted to tell Mizuki that she wasn't that kind of person, and at least to talk to her for a while so she could get used to the gold card. She really did love money!

But Mizuki's words caused her brain to freeze for a moment.

"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly what you said."

"I meant I gave you that card. The PIN is made up of the first digits of Xiao Le's, Doctor's, Skadi's, Kal'tsit's, Lemuen's, and my birthday. You can check it."

"No, I mean you just gave me this card and even the PIN like that?"

"Well, after all, I don't have many places where I need money. My salary from Penguin Logistics and Rhodes Island, plus Xiao Le's savings, is enough for us to have a home together."

Mizuki mixed a drink and handed it to Closure, while he himself half-slumped on the bar. Exusiai not be able to go to Siesta to choose a room for a couple of days, but Mizuki had already chosen one through his offspring in Siesta. He estimated that Exusiai would probably choose the same room as him, so he had already calculated the possible expenses.

"But what if you... what if you urgently need the money?"

"Hmm, it's alright. I still have five obsidian veins, three Originium veins, and a few Pure Gold."

It can only be said that the Sea of Life is extremely convenient for reconnaissance and monitoring enemies. Rainwater can flow into the earth, and Mizuki can find those mineral veins that have not been discovered before and are still buried underground. In fact, he has discovered far more than that, but for the time being, the Sea Siren only need this much.

As for the obsidian veins, those were discovered by the Sea Siren girls themselves and had nothing to do with him. However, the Sea Siren girls said that everything they owned belonged to Mizuki, so it could be considered under his name.

"..." Closure dropped the gold card she was holding, her mouth agape, stammering unsure what to say.

Today she finally understood what it meant to be utterly inhumanly rich. She'd seen rich people before, but never anyone this inhuman. Come to think of it, Mizuki doesn't even seem human anymore.

Mizuki walked over to Closure and picked up the gold card, putting it in her pocket.

"Keep it safe, Closure. Although Rhodes Island's finances are running smoothly now Doctor, there will inevitably be times when we need money, and Rhodes Island will still have to rely on you to keep going."

"You..."

Although Closure was shocked and somewhat out of control, she did not lose her composure. She couldn't possibly be completely oblivious to the implied meaning in Mizuki's words.

"Don't tell Kal'tsit and the others. I've already given them so much money; at least this level of secrecy is acceptable, right?"

Mizuki's smile was the same as always. Closure had seen him smile like that several times, making people feel relaxed and happy. But this time, she could read a hint of reluctance in that smile.

"Don't get me wrong, we're not close, so I won't keep your secret... But I also won't return the money. No one can make me give back money they've given me."

This was a tacit agreement to Mizuki's request, but she didn't want to hide it from Kal'tsit and the others. This made Mizuki even more satisfied with her. At least with such a companion, Kal'tsit and the Doctor would have headaches, but at least someone would be there to face the future with her.

Seeing that Mizuki wasn't angry about the matter, Closure was completely baffled. This was the first time she and Mizuki had spoken face-to-face like this, but that didn't mean she didn't know Mizuki well.

"Seriously, is it really that serious? I heard from the Doctor that your abilities... are quite strong, right?"

The Doctor is a staunch supporter of Mizuki. He once boasted to Closure while drinking that as long as Mizuki is there, Rhodes Island doesn't need to worry about any military threats. He even said that if the Doctor had that idea, Mizuki could probably take over the entire Terra.

"It's alright, but the other side is stronger. If we were to face off, it would probably be a 20/80 split, but right now it's more like 30/70."

That was an opponent against whom Closure didn't even need to ask Mizuki why he didn't seek help or discuss countermeasures with everyone; if he could, he would have done so already.

"At least the win rate isn't zero, right? 37%..."

Closure reached out and patted Mizuki on the shoulder, then picked up the glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. It tasted good, not burning her throat but very refreshing.
