Chapter 48 The Rules Here

  "But your words turned your smile into a sneer..."

  "Cough, anyway, I can trade anything here, but for now, I'm trustworthy, so the things that can be traded are limited... Do you guys want money?"

  "I want it!" Ah Xū spoke up immediately, carefully looking around and seemingly the most ordinary one was him, thus economically speaking, he was even more ordinary!

  "What are you going to exchange for it?"

  "A minute of life...?"

  "Deal." Jiǔ Mìng directly dropped a high-energy crystal from his foot to his hand, and ā Xū felt an emptiness in his body the moment he received it, as if he had run tens of steps. Jiǔ Mìng's hand also held an extra card...

  New card, introduction and that fifty-day life card are the same, but this one is for a minute.

  "What if I regret it?" Zhang opened his mouth, and Ah Xū looked at the high-energy crystal in his hand with a dazed expression. "If I take this thing out to sell, I'm afraid I'll be invited to drink tea."

  "Cut, that's your own business, now it's too late to say anything." Slapping the one-minute 'life point card' on the table, Jiǔ Mìng looked at others, "Well, as a welcome gesture, you all have a super discount trading opportunity, provided by me personally."

  "It's so interesting, it actually works! Ah Xū, how did you feel when you were dead for a minute just now?"

  "It's like I've run wildly for over a dozen steps... doesn't feel too great!"

  "Is that so?" Jiǔ Mìng sneered coldly, pointing at the fifty-day life card, "The provider of this one is a bit stronger than you, he was hospitalized for half a month."

  "I regret it even more!"

  "It's too late." Jiǔ Mìng let out a soft sigh, putting away the "One Minute" card. No matter what, this thing would always come in handy, and it was only one minute of life - what wasn't worth trading for a high-energy crystal?

  Letting Ah Xū be stunned for a minute is just a past event, what's there to regret? People are like that, sentimental... every inch of time is worth an inch of gold...... If only I had exchanged it for that inch of gold earlier!

  "So, what else do you have to trade?" The gaze of the nine lives turned to Asahina Mirai, "For example, your cowardice, if taken away, who knows, you might become a strong and intimidating older sister."

  "Don't instigate my senior sister!"

  "Whatever... forget it." Seeing Asahina Mirai's frightened appearance, Kumen shook his head, "How about you?"

  Jiǔ Mìng asked Gu Quán Yī Shù:

  "I? Ah, I don't seem to need anything at the moment, so never mind." Kosen Hitsuki smiled faintly and politely declined.

  "It's unnecessary." Long Gate Youji spoke up before even nine lives could open his mouth.

  "That's right, this is no longer within the scope of the discount." The Ninth Life waved his hand and the disposable interval ability in Suzumiya Haruhi's hand instantly disappeared and returned to his own hand. "Moreover, using this thing in your world doesn't seem suitable either."

  "Huh... our world?" Seeing the thing in her hand being taken away, Haruhi Suzumiya, who was originally about to get angry, slightly froze. "Could it be that this isn't the world I'm in?"

  "Of course! How could a place like this exist in your world? In a sense, you've already come to an 'other world' just by coming here. Of course, it's the kind where you can return at any time."

  When she looked at Nagato, she slightly nodded to the nine balls, and A Void, who was distracted by this moment, narrowed his eyes, and lightly touched his chin with his fingers, as if there was something fishy about it.

  "Huh, so this place is already considered another world? I didn't think you were actually a person from another dimension... a ghost!?" With an expression of sudden realization, Haruhi Suzumiya's face seemed to become increasingly excited. After her excitement subsided, she suddenly changed her expression, as if she had thought of something, "Wait! If that's the case, then how is it possible for my phone to get through?!"

  "Because of the mysterious rules here." Jiuxing smiled slightly, anticipating her question, "For example..."

  Bang!

  After a snap of the fingers, the surroundings changed rapidly, almost in the blink of an eye, and became a huge beach, with the sound of waves crashing in sync.

  The mysterious shop initially allowed Jiǔ Mìng to face various enemies in different scenarios, and could also evolve some scenes. At the beginning, when dealing with that virtual head, Jiǔ Mìng used this function, but it had a bit of limitations. Scenarios were possible, furniture was possible, but for small items like daily necessities, except for those brought by the mysterious shop itself, the rest had to be added by Jiǔ Mìng himself.

  Most of the things that need to be added are consumables, such as tea leaves.

  "Huh!?" Everyone present, except for Konomi and Nagisa, was shocked by this sudden change. At the same time, the sofa they were sitting on had unknowingly transformed into a beach chair. Looking at Konomi again, he somehow changed into a pair of beach shorts...

  Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Gu Quan's smile was also difficult to maintain. "This can no longer be explained by simple supernatural phenomena."

  Yuuki was quietly observing her surroundings, silently recording the sudden changes that occurred here.

  "Wow, it's actually the beach! That's great!!" After a long "hmm", Haruhi Suzumiya was briefly surprised, but then completely forgot about it, leaving all of Koizumi's carefully thought-out excuses stuck in his throat. Hmm, what a carefree girl.

  "What a shame, I didn't bring my swimsuit." After taking off her shoes and socks, she ran along the edge of the beach in the shallow water for a while. Haruhi Suzumiya hugged her arms and muttered, "And no drinks... nor..."

  "Stop! It's already a limit for me to get these out, as for swimsuits... give me your sizes and I'll help you buy them."

  Haruhi Suzumiya, who was muttering to herself beside me, let out a sigh. If you looked closely, you'd realize that there wasn't a single living creature in this ocean. The sky had nothing but the fake sun and some clouds; not even a bird's shadow could be seen. What changed the most were the scenes, but as for life forms... I have no idea if it was because of the mysterious shop's evolution or some other restriction.

  The size of the swimsuit...... The big-hearted Cool Palace Miss said it out loud, while the weak and timid giant-breasted girl blushed and stuttered for half a day without being able to say anything. She was too shy.

  "Hey, since that's the case, why don't you just take us out to buy some instead?" Seeing his own senior sister blush to the extreme, Ah Xū immediately stood up.

  "Hmm, first of all, do you have any money in this world where I am? Then...do you see an exit door here?"

  "Don't ask me why I can go out, I'm a ghost, you're human." A sentence that was both frustrating and impossible to verify left Ah Xū speechless.

  "And don't imagine others as being so evil, I'm already a dead person... there's no need for such excessive thoughts from adolescence... really!"

  Jiu Ming left, and all members of SOS team started whispering here.

  You said one sentence and I said one sentence, it was so lively. The most pleased was Haruhi Suzumiya, her expression was almost like "see, see, how great our team leader is, she even found this place..."

  This is an unparalleled strong luck, it's really a strong luck, relying on luck to come here once is already enough, but there's actually a second time, this is simply an impossible event, but it happened, truly worthy of... a world's 'god'!

  Kuukai looked at Suzumiya Haruhi who was running wildly on tiptoes beside the beach, and felt a sense of nostalgia.

  "Thanks, huh? Why is it a low-rise swimsuit!?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked in puzzlement after pulling out the swimsuit that had been brought back from the nine lives bag.

  "...her size was hard to find, so the swimsuit store staff simply gave me this type, just make do with it for now, anyway it's wearable."

  "How about the dressing room?"

  Jiuming waved his hand and a small single room appeared beside him.

  "I'm really envious of you, even changing clothes is so convenient." Arriving at Jiǔ Mìng's side, ā Xū said with a truly envious tone - "Envious of your wealth!!"

  "I'm a ghost, have you ever seen a ghost worried about clothes? Beer or drinks, choose for yourself." Jiǔ Mìng took out two sealed cards, crushed them, and out came a case of beer and a case of various types of drinks.

  "Hmm, let's just say ghosts then. According to the story, the connotation of ghosts in my country and Tian Chao are different."

  A Hua scratched his head, hesitated for a moment and still picked up a bottle of drink that looked not bad. After taking a sip, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body, "Cool!"

  He now feels he can sprint for ten minutes!

  "Look at you... the special drink provided for espers isn't bad, is it?" Jiǔ Mìng gave him a sideways glance and leaned back against something behind him. As he fell backwards, a beach chair appeared under him.

  Where did this thing come from?

  "…This dead kid! Does he think this is some kind of convenience store?!?" Wang Hai's face was black with rage, his mouth twitching violently.

  "Drinking too much, be careful of nosebleeds...... it seems I'm saying this too late." Seeing the empty can of Yili thrown by Ah Xū's feet, Jiǔ Mìng said slowly, as if he himself had also been forced to drink half of what was in his hand.

  "You're doing it on purpose!"

  The boy with a gloomy face covered his nose, which had already started to itch, and looked up with a mixture of sadness and indignation. "So what does it mean that the special supplies are for 'Ability Users'?"

  As he spoke, A Xū glanced again at Gu Quan Yī Shù who was walking towards them and thought to himself, "Isn't this kind of superpower user? Isn't 'heterogeneous ability' and 'superpower' the same thing?"

  "It's literal, some people can conjure fireballs, emit lightning and spit ice shards." Jiǔ Mìng said with a glance at ā Xū, "What are you fantasizing about? Even if you drink the whole box dry, you won't have any special abilities, don't dream on. Be careful not to die from nosebleeds."

  In short, looking at the disappointed expression on Jiong's face, Jiǔ Mìng's mouth involuntarily curled up into an arc. Speaking of special abilities, what can that ancient tree do?

  Is there something special about him?

  His eyes turned to Gu Quan, and he looked very ordinary. Even if his body had some characteristics of being well-trained, he was still an ordinary person. Was there anything strange about him that he hadn't noticed himself?
