Chapter 71: Do You Want to Die?

  So to speak, the 280,000 'source' is enough for him to stay in the mysterious shop for... six years without doing anything.

  Damn it, how can it be so dark!?

  Well, actually it can be calculated. Don't look at such a big number, according to the monthly 'performance' increment, the first half year is 6000, the second half year is 9000, the third half year is 12000... The tenth half year is 33000...

  The nineteenth half-year will reach the peak of 10,000 'achievements', which is nine years later in terms of mysterious shop time. Is that a long time?

  For a mysterious shop that has been in existence for who-knows-how-long, this amount of time is nothing! And at that time, the total 'sales' that Jiu Ming needed to reach was 6.27 million, hahaha... This is much more difficult than an ordinary person saving up this much money in ten years, isn't it?

  Alright, in this way, the Nine Lives finally calmed down, a one-time consumable item he had never seen such a high value before, who let its reversal degree reach the point of reversing time!?!

  Think of the kind of cycle in Haruhi Suzumiya's world, where time 'rewinds' for an entire world. Is this something a human can do!?

  No need to doubt, just look at the crimson warning characters that appear on the notice, he won't use this stored card. Since all the backlash is borne by himself, if used, it's equivalent to reversing time, and even Nine Lives wouldn't survive... He's not Haruhi Suzumiya...

  An unprecedented collection, quickly gave it a positioning, Jiǔ Mìng directly took it in, estimated that in this life, it would be difficult to get a more precious 'collection' than this.

  An inexplicable curiosity made him quite want to try it out once and for all, to see the effect, just how powerful was it?

  Well, even if it's very impressive, referring to Haruhi Suzumiya's nearly 16,000 cycles, it feels like that's about it. Of course, what was the phrase again?

  Why compare people with one another?

  Time reversal, if not necessary, I guess no one would bear to do it. This is not like time travel, this is even more awesome! The former is personal, the latter is global, and the impact is different.

  A special collection piece...

  Jiǔ Mìng put this sealed card into the last page of his collection book, although it doesn't make sense to talk about pages, but he flipped it over, hoping that he would never have to use it.

  Throw it to the mysterious shop? Don't be kidding, only a nine-lived brain would get its head pinched by the door and still do such a stupid thing. I don't want to use it, but keeping it is like having an unprecedented super trump card in my hand, doesn't it suddenly make me feel like I've got a surge of confidence?

  I guess this sealed card is one of a kind, can't have another 'endless January'!

  For the sake of boosting sales at the mysterious shop, Jiǔ Mìng thought that just throwing those high-energy crystals would be enough.

  So, this time's 'entrustment' is over. It seems that even if the reward given by the employer is 'low', as long as it can satisfy the employer, it won't be a loss. Looking at this extra gift, I've made a profit all at once.

  It's indeed more suitable to accept a commission than to buy and sell.

  Alright, if he accepts the commission, he'll be on his own, one line at a time. If it's a trade, that means it's immediate. If the customer is lucky, they might even get to face several at once... Hmm, let's see how it goes for now.

  Rubbed his face, Jiǔ Mìng opened the only door in front of him, and what entered his eyes was a green-haired girl sitting leisurely on her own sofa, holding a box of cookies and eating slowly, with a lazy expression...

  Huh?!

  Nine lives, corner of mouth twitching... You really think this place is your own home?

  "Oh? Another new 'customer' has arrived." The green-haired girl held the guidebook provided by some store and looked at it for a while, then put her golden eyes back on Jiu Ming, "Sorry, the boss is not here right now. If you don't mind, you can leave first and just turn around and walk two steps away."

  Familiar expression... It's really a very natural and fluent explanation. With this tone, combined with the lazy posture of sitting on the sofa, even if it's not explicitly stated, it gives people the feeling that the woman in front of them is the XXX identity here.

  Even if you were to hang up a tiger's skin and pretend to be a hero, it wouldn't be as good as you are!

  Jiuming thought it was necessary to find a conspicuous place to hang his portrait, and then indicate the word "shopkeeper" below, so that in the future, he wouldn't have to deal with another person coming here and causing trouble.

  It seems that the person who has come here and refuses to leave is not a vagrant, but definitely another troublesome one! As evidenced by his opening remarks!

  What vicissitudes? Apart from this, Jiu Ming also saw a sense of vicissitude in those eyes that was very inconsistent with her youthful appearance.

  "Oh? So that's how it is. Then who are you here?" Nine Lives raised an eyebrow and asked, no matter what, he couldn't just turn around and walk into the room behind him, this girl was really able to hold back her curiosity!

  Having stayed here for so many days, I can barely hold back from going back to that windowless sealed room to try... tried nine times and still couldn't see her.

  "Problems are many." She stuffed the remaining half of the small cookie into her mouth, and the green-haired girl moved her eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she had seen something but didn't say it directly. "What do you think I am here?"

  "Ah~ I guess it's someone like a stray cat, homeless and without a place to call their own?"

  "Hmm." The green-haired girl hummed lightly, not minding Jiumeng's words, but instead showing great interest in him. "I didn't expect the boss here to be such an existence. What kind of monster are you?"

  "Huh?" Jiǔ Mìng rubbed his head, and was seen through? He walked to the side of the green-haired girl and pointed to the opposite position, "Say, if so, can't we move a bit from here?"

  Who would have thought that even if she knew she was the boss here, the green-haired girl's behavior remained... reversing the roles, and actually refused!?

  "No, I'm used to sitting here."

  It wasn't until the ninth life that he noticed that the sofa, where he often sat and slept, was surrounded by all sorts of empty snack packaging bags! To what extent has this accumulated? Have you been staying here without moving for a long time? You really treat this place as your own home!

  "Alright then." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, picked up the packaging bag on the ground, and what made him different was that not a single crumb of snacks was found, he ate really cleanly. "Guest, what do you plan to buy here? Or are you preparing to sell something?"

  "What can I buy with no money on me?" The green-haired girl flipped through the small booklet with a rare hint of expectation, "As for selling things... how about this one?"

  The green-haired girl lifted her bangs that covered her forehead, revealing a V-shaped mark hidden by the bangs.

  Name: CODE

  Type: Skill

  Attributes: Solidification, Endowment

  Precautions: None

  Note: Get it and you'll have top-notch immortality!!

  Forced Collection Source Power Consumption: 999999

  "Do you want to die? Alright, I won't buy it." Jiǔ Mìng's expression was very tangled. No mistake, the value of this level of ability, no matter what, in her world... if this level of ability wasn't unexpected... could be connected with the world she was in.

  But this power is on you, if you don't want it anymore... then the most likely meaning is that the green-haired girl in front of you... has lived long enough?

  This ability is probably much weaker than Haruhi Suzumiya's power, but it should also be at a world-class level.

  It's only been a short while since I opened for business, and yet this kind of person who can't handle these kinds of items, tools, and abilities has already come knocking on my door.

  "That's it? How can you give it away for free?"

  [Recommendation: Agree with this request!]

  The next moment, the panel that appeared out of nowhere was slapped into shattered light by Jiǔ Mìng. Looking at the green-haired girl, Jiǔ Mìng laughed loudly, "Hmph... I suddenly felt a deep sense of malice, what's going on here?"

  "Can this be understood as your pretentiousness?"

  "No, I just don't want to be crushed to death by a iron plate that I can't hold up." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head.

  "Was I too blunt? I'm being sincere." The green-haired girl pushed a large pile of snacks on the coffee table to one side, "After eating so much junk food for days, I want pizza."

  "I believe in fair trade, can't I just go home and eat well?" Jiǔ Mìng pointed at the 'Transcendence Gate', looking at the green-haired girl who seemed to be acting strangely, what kind of sister gives such lavish gifts on their first meeting?

  Fair trade... alas, it seems like conscience always comes flooding in at the last moment...

  It's already not considered a 'grand gift' at this point, I believe that all the famous gods and tycoons from various worlds wouldn't possibly give such a 'grand gift' upon meeting.

  Top-notch immortality.

  If I had to say it in someone else's words, having this ability would mean never letting go, no matter what. But looking at the green-haired girl sitting across from me with her legs tucked under her, she looks like she's disgusted... Just not dying isn't as tempting as I thought it'd be for a nine-lifer.

  Judging from his current state, without any illness or disaster, how long he can live is an unknown number, and this unknown number will absolutely not be associated with the word 'short'.

  "A man should be a gentleman." The green-haired girl frowned slightly, seemingly not very satisfied with the behavior of the nine lives hurry, "I want to eat pizza."

  "No, I'm not a human who will die if I don't eat something, so I won't prepare that kind of thing." Jiǔ Mìng let out a yawn and looked at the green-haired girl occupying the sofa with a slightly tangled expression. Now that he was home, his sleeping spot had suddenly been moved to a different location, which felt a bit uncomfortable. "I'll sleep for a while, you do as you please."

  Beautiful girls have privileges, at least nine lives don't want this storytelling girl in front of me to disappear in her own hands.

  She narrowed her eyes, and the green-haired girl very dissatisfiedly threw the bag of snacks in her hand over, directly hitting Jiǔ Mìng's face, but the person involved didn't have any reaction at all... She really fell asleep.

  She let out a soft hum and the green-haired girl also lay down, quietly staring at the ceiling, seemingly planning to continue wasting time.
