Chapter Sixteen: Your World's Fate is Truly Cheap

  "Ah? This... Hello, guest." After a slight pause, Jiǔ Mìng turned his head to look at the petite figure that walked out from behind that strange door. San Wú Shào Nǚ. And so, what kind of existence was this one again?

  "Hello." The girl with three no's, who was standing in the room inside the door and hadn't come out, opened her palm, and on it was a stone... Are you kidding me?

  Name: Stone

  [Type: Consumable]

  Must-Hit Attribute

  Quality: Ordinary

  Usage count: 1

  Note: This is just a stone... even a blind person can accurately hit ten rings with this stone...

  Convertible Source Power: 100

  There is no requirement for forced collection, which means that this thing was given by the other party on its own initiative. What does this mean?

  "Can we talk? This is something I brought here through illegal means."

  The tone of the three girls was very calm, and even Nine Lives didn't hear much emotion, it was as if they were facing a puppet-like existence, by illegal means?

  "What if Panel-dàrén doesn't accept this thing?"

  The other party will be kicked out immediately.

  Nodded, can't help but say that the price of this small stone is really good, exactly one hundred points, which is the price to enter here through invitation card. The situation in front of the girl now is like getting on the bus first and then buying a ticket.

  Of course, the shopkeeper of Jiuming does not accept the issue of making up for lost time, and the other party will be immediately kicked out of here. This is not something that Jiuming needs to worry about, as the mysterious store will resolve it itself.

  So how did she find this place?

  The location of the mysterious shop is like a grain in the ocean, without precise positioning, and no one can find it unless by luck.

  "Come on in and let's talk." Jiǔ Mìng handed over the small stone and made way, must-hit attribute of the stone? How did you do it, feels like Haruhi Suzumiya's phone.

  From a value perspective, this ordinary stone can have such high value, then the effect of this must-hit attribute is definitely strong in some aspects, just like the fifty-year-old preserved egg...

  Value is the same as this, but the recovery effect, nine lives estimated to be on the verge of death after eating can come back to life, of course, food poisoning is inevitable, just like the Blood Knight's blood treatment, instant full blood is correct, but then it's time to suffer, well, still that sentence, after all, better than dead.

  It's gotta hit, right? If you think of someone and throw this stone with their name on it... will it really reach them?

  In the hands of this 'warrior', it's not worth much, but if it falls into the hands of someone like Law, who can add some extra ingredients to this stone, then when it hits the opponent, I reckon it won't just be a minor injury from being hit by a stone.

  However, it was useless against him. The small stone that had been sealed as a card scattered into dust in the hands of Jiǔ Mìng, and they finally made their first sale, which wasn't bad.

  "So, sir, what's the purpose of your trouble coming here?"

  He dug out that bag of tea leaves, licked his mouth and threw it aside, there's no water here.

  "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya."

  "Oh? A world of?"

  "That's right, she has a very special status in the world I'm in. Any changes to her will evolve into some unpredictable consequences."

  "Are you angry?"

  "In that world, Haruhi Suzumiya can be understood as a 'god-like' existence. When she comes up with some extraordinary ideas, the entire world will be affected by them. Of course, she herself is unaware of this situation."

  She nodded, and the Nine Lives somewhat understood what this three-nothing girl was doing here. Was she going to stir up trouble? After all, he had previously seemed to anger Suzumiya Haruhi quite a bit, so how would her world be affected by this disturbance?

  Huh? Wait a minute, she doesn't know herself, hey, you guys are hiding from the world this seemingly influential god, is that really okay?

  Is he really a god? He looks so soft and weak, but if he's really strong, he wouldn't have been pushed away by him so easily at first...

  "Are you not afraid of something going wrong by keeping it from her like this?" As soon as he said that, Jiǔ Mìng knew he had spoken nonsense. Thinking back to when they first met and her personality, if she were to find out the truth, things would likely get out of hand!

  "Never mind, what's the so-called impact?"

  "The destruction of the world is a serious matter."

  "...I'm going, and it feels like your world is really cheap." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head. When did the fate of a world become connected to a seemingly 'very ordinary' high school girl? "But now it's none of my business anymore, right?"

  "The Haruhi Suzumiya has made up her mind to come here again, even if it's a low-probability event, it will inevitably happen, the only uncertainty is in time. Of course, with her normal human rationality, even coming here again won't have any impact on the original world. I came here just to ask you not to talk about misleading topics at that time."

  It's hard to imagine that a clearly mute and emotionless girl would say so much, although Jiǔ Mìng sounded like she was just reciting from a book, with no extra emotions at all, which didn't affect her emotionless attribute!

  Misleading topic? In this regard, if you ask Koizumi Itsuki after Haruhi's era, he might perfunctorily say that it exists in your world; otherwise, how could you have come here?

  It would be better to change it to a different world, so that Haruhi Suzumiya would still think that her own world is ordinary, and the abnormal factors of other worlds have nothing to do with her, avoiding her strong pursuit and exploration psychology, but reducing the impact on her world to the lowest point.

  Of course, Nagato Yuki knew in advance that Suzumiya Haruhi would coincidentally come here with good luck, so she must have taken a series of protective measures in advance to avoid this encounter. Now, it's too late to say anything.

  Taking advantage of Haruhi Suzumiya's cell phone, Nagato Yuki arrived here through illegal means. The existence of this place is very special and difficult to explain. When she entered illegally, she even received a certain degree of warning and received a message.

  Then there was the stone with the attribute of must-enter as the price to enter here, that stone had the power of her world, but after falling into Jiǔ Mìng's hands, the trace of the power of her world completely disappeared, in other words, the power inside this stone no longer belongs to that world, not even the most basic imprint.

  Been stripped away.

  In terms of principles, she also has no idea.

  "It's a done deal, no problem at all." Jiǔ Mìng nodded in agreement and immediately accepted the task. Compared to Suzumiya Haruhi, he was being honest, but what really mattered was this girl in front of him, who gave off an aura of a "magician".

  That divine artifact of shame is not worth mentioning, it's purely an unintentional product of Haruhi Suzumiya, and the guaranteed-hit attribute stone that was retrieved by Kyon is clearly something that this three-nothing girl came up with.

  "How did you do it? It's like magic... Can you teach me?"

  Jiǔ Mìng really wanted to ask this, but felt that he couldn't come up with anything equivalent in return, so he suppressed the thought, a matter of principle.

  "Thank you, goodbye."

  She stood up, and the girl turned to walk towards that strange door. The information integration thought body couldn't connect here, she also had a need to let the information integration thought body know about the situation here, even if there was no malice.

  "Uh, I'm called Jiu Ming...... what's your name?"

  "... Nagato no Ki." The three girls turned back and said softly to Kurenai, "We will meet again."

  "Good luck then." Jiǔ Mìng smiled and waved at him, the mysterious shop owner. After encountering that heavily injured Yu Hou, he knew this was definitely a high-risk profession...

  No wonder the store manager needs high-end martial arts skills; otherwise, if they're unlucky and encounter a vicious customer, there will be a change of store managers here.

  "Good grief, I'm going!" After sending off Nagato Yuki, Kuno looked at the time and saw that there were only two minutes left until half an hour was up. He tapped his head and hurriedly ran out. Fortunately, he wasn't far from the long chair, and when he arrived, on the chair lay a gray cloak like a raincoat - it was this thing.

  He walked over, picked up the cloak, and a card fell out. Before it hit the ground, Jiǔ Mìng stretched out his hand to catch it. As for the cloak, Wáng Hǎi had prepared an extra one. Jiǔ Mìng put it on, finally getting rid of his shadowless state. He didn't have a shadow, but this cloak did, although wearing it in the middle of summer was quite strange.

  "Really stingy..."

  Found an ATM, Jiǔ Mìng looked at the numbers on it and curled up the corner of her mouth. The money wasn't much, a five-digit number. What? Not less? That also depends on what kind of five-digit number it is!

  A five-digit number that can become a six-digit number by adding one 1, and a five-digit number that can become a four-digit number by subtracting one 1... Can they be compared?

  He is the latter.

  Forget it, anyway, just reading books won't cost much money. He found a newspaper stand selling things with a weird expression on his face. Jiǔ Mìng took a city map and left, while the store owner took off his glasses and kept wiping them, but the lenses didn't have any flowers on them. Why did that person seem a bit transparent just now?

  Jiǔ Mìng directly found the largest library in this city, if we talk about the richness of materials, it's naturally the best place. Anyway, he doesn't have a big concept of money now, no need and no great attachment, spent is spent, not heartbroken.

  The most important thing is that this money doesn't belong to him.

  As soon as he entered, several gazes fell on Jiuming's body. Here, many were not ordinary people, and it could be said that the number of ordinary people was very small. Most were some kind of ability holders. After taking a look at the layout of the hall, Jiuming turned around and walked to the left. The library was divided into two major areas: one was the ordinary area with normal books, and the other was the area related to superpowers. Jiuming was temporarily not interested in that area, even if he looked...he wouldn't understand superpowers anyway!

  Even if people in this world can develop superpowers...
