Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

"..."

The old man didn't speak for a long time.

Bai Yi was not in a hurry. He had plenty of patience.

"We understand your request, but we will need three days to prepare it. This thing is quite precious..."

"No, just now, take what you have with you."

Bai Yi didn't know how to tell whether what the other party said was true or false, but he understood one thing: if he really gave the other party three days to prepare, he might not have the ability to catch the leaf.

It’s better to cheat him. If it works, you can get it now. If it doesn’t work, you can go back and improve your strength.

"you!"

The old man felt that his blood pressure had not dropped today.

The morning's plan for the Dragonite was interrupted by two strange guys and Miss Junsha, which would have been fine, but in the afternoon, when he wanted to withdraw to the base camp to discuss the next steps with the tribesmen, he was blocked by someone.

The other party wanted to kill me right away, but I didn't dare to do anything and could only let him raise the price.

"I hope you can leave here after getting the things."

The old man took out a box from his arms, threw it to Bai Yi with force, and then signaled his tribesmen to hide in the darkness and retreat.

The people in Church X are all crazy. The longer we argue with them, the greater the losses will be. The worst that can happen is that we can just give up this stronghold.

"Oh... I didn't expect that."

Bai Yi didn't care about the other person's leaving, his attention was all on the wooden box in his hand.

Opening it carefully, I saw three dark purple leaves lying quietly in the luxurious fabric.

With the help of the system, Bai Yu found the information about this leaf.

“The heart-breaking grass is a plant with a special fragrance that makes people’s hearts beat faster. Eating a small amount of it will make the person feel relaxed and comfortable.

Note: This grass is a chronic poison. While the toxins bring pleasure, they will also be deposited in the body. When the amount of toxins reaches a certain level, it will cause the eater to fall into a riot state. Every time the riot state ends, it will take away some of the toxins in the body and make the eater dependent on it, that is... addicted. "

Dark purple poisonous weeds, rioting...

The clues about the Tyrannosaurus in Bai Yi's mind suddenly opened up.

At the same time, another point was also discovered.

The leaves that Bai Di found in the ruins were lavender, and were obviously not the same thing as the chaos grass. In other words, there was another key piece of information involved in the line of Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Shion family, and Miss Shion - what exactly were the lavender leaves?

"Well……"

Bai Di looked at the blood-spattered alley, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness with Gengar.

……

The Feiyun City branch of the Shion family.

"You mean, you met a guy from the Church of X, and you gave up your family secrets to save your life?"

In the main seat facing the door, an old man with white beard reaching down to the ground narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man sitting in the third seat from the lower left, questioning voice rising in his voice.

“No…No, Second Elder!

I don’t want that bastard to attack again and hurt too many members of the family.”

The old man stood up in fright and hurried to explain.

Although he is a senior member of the family, in front of the elders, he is just an object that can be replaced at any time.

Even...if the elder is unhappy, he can go back to his hometown to farm.

"Humph! You haven't even confirmed whether the other party is a real member of the X Church!

Didn't you read the membership list of Church X that I asked you to read over and over again? "

The elder became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. In order to plan this matter, he dragged the X Church into it. He collected information on known X Church members in advance, made a book and sent it to every member below, so that they would not make a mistake or fail to recognize the identity.

The X Church is very powerful, but they are all a group of mentally ill guys. The Second Elder himself is afraid to face them, but if anyone can put on a mask and pretend to be a member of the X Church and cut them, then the Shion family will be laughed to death tomorrow!

"I……"

The old man felt guilty, as he had indeed not read the book. It was because only one member of the Church of X showed up during the conflict with the Alliance that day.

"Humph! You should pray that the other party doesn't know the secret of the Heart-Losing Grass and be responsible..."

The old man's tightly closed eyes slightly opened, and his fierce gaze fell on the old man who could no longer stop shaking.

"Yes... yes... Second Elder."

"Go down."

The old man closed his eyes again to rest, then waved his hand to dismiss the old man.

With the old man's departure, the room once again fell into a quagmire of silence.

After a long time, the old man tapped the wooden table with his fingers, making a regular sound.

"The road has been almost repaired, but we can't let the passing animals block the way..."

……

Turning his attention back to the outside world, Bai Di, who had done something wrong in Shion's base, disappeared into the darkness under the cover of Gengar. He took off all the clothes related to his previous identity, put on a casual white shirt, and strolled alone on the street.

As for Wang Dong, having been exposed once, he was no longer suitable to work with Bai Yi, so Bai Yi asked him to go back to the hotel and wait for him.

At first, Wang Donghai protested a little, saying that his strength was not bad either, and he could go to the outside of the Ziyuan family’s base camp and defeat the enemy together with Bai Yi.

Unfortunately, the protest was ineffective.

Bai Di only let Gengar use one move, Ghost Claw, to force the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit to be unable to protect Wang Dong's life.

The Shion family’s headquarters is not the small stronghold they had before. There must be powerful people inside who even Bai Ji cannot guarantee they will escape unscathed.

Faced with this statement, Wang Dong could only go back to the hotel and wait obediently with a depressed face.

After comforting Wang Dong, Bai Yi was not in a hurry to find Ziyuan's house.

I just went there in the afternoon. The Ziyuan family must be on guard now. If I go there now, I'll be walking into a trap.

"Well... Miss Shion shouldn't be in trouble so soon."

"Well, that's how it's written in novels. Problems will definitely not arise until the protagonist arrives."

Night market snack street.

Bai Di was eating while walking around.

At night, Feiyun City finally got rid of the coldness and silence of the morning and ushered in bustle and joy.

Bai Yu had only one idea about these foods he had never seen before.

Ding Zhen identified it as delicious at first glance!

In just over ten minutes, Bai Yi's arms were already full of food.

I only regret that I don’t have two more hands and two more mouths, so that I won’t have to worry about not being able to pick up the food or eating too slowly.

As for being full?

The strengthened Bai Yu no longer had the small stomach of his previous life. Even if he ate the entire snack street, it would only be...

Take advantage!

"Oooh!"

Bai Yu, who had almost finished eating, saw a game console at the corner. It was a bit like the machine for testing punching strength in his previous life.

Insert a coin and throw a punch, and you'll get different scores based on the strength of the punch. According to the owner of the game machine, the highest score will get you a mysterious reward.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

A young man passing by raised his hand to participate.

He took off his coat, revealing a body of muscular tones with clear lines and well-proportioned muscles. It was obvious that he was an avid fitness enthusiast.

"Aha!"

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, the young man delivered a heavy straight punch to the cushion, causing it to make a clanging sound.

The value on the screen also jumped rapidly, and finally stopped at "500".

"Great!"

"The highest before was only 250, but this person's amount was doubled in an instant. It looks like the mysterious reward is his."

"I don't think so. Didn't you see that the boss looked calm? He didn't even look at me."

The young man got the highest score so far with one punch, and while he was happy, he saw that the boss was also smiling.

"Not bad, not bad. You got the highest score today. What a pity."

The boss clapped his hands, encouraging the young man, then stepped aside to make way for the wooden board behind him.

It says:

Thank you for your patronage award: 0 to 100 points.

Encore Award: 101 to 300 points.

Encouragement Award: 301 to 500 points.

Third Prize: 501 to 600 points.

Second Prize: 601 to 700 points.

First Prize: 701 to 800 points.

Special Prize: 801 to 900 points.

Mysterious reward: 1200 points!

"You! Your span is unreasonable!"

The young man is in his prime, and with years of fitness training, his strength has reached an average level.

But such a punch can only reach 500 points, and people cannot imagine what 1200 points means.

There was a lot of discussion at the scene for a while. Before the score rewards were announced, everyone was still enthusiastic to participate. Now basically no one is willing to spend that money, except for a few people who want to test how strong they are.

"Boss, no one wants to play now. Aren't you afraid of wasting time and losing money?"

Bai Di, holding a bag of skewers, couldn't help but ask beside the boss who was smiling like an old creep.

"The score for the mysterious reward is actually not set very high, because people who don't have this power can't have it at all."

"Besides, this is a no-cost business. I made the machines myself, so how can I say I'm losing money?"

The boss glanced at Bai Yi, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then returned to normal.

"If you are interested, why not go up and try it?"

"Well... I don't have money to buy coins."

Bai Yi looked honest. Since the other party wanted him to play, he had to pay. What he wanted was to get something for free.

"...You have the money to buy such a huge pile of food, and you tell me you don't have two dollars?!"

The boss raised his eyebrows and looked at the barbecue which made him salivate.

"Then guess why I have no money."

As he spoke, Bai Yu took out a piece of pork tenderloin and took a bite.

Juicy!

"…Forget it, forget it. I'll give it to you."

This was the first time the boss realized that there was someone more shameless than him. Bai Di was obviously not a poor person, but he could actually say something like "freeloading"? !

"Thanks."

After taking the game coins from the boss, Bai Yi did not put the food on the ground. He just held it and walked to the game machine.

"Eh? My friend, it will be easier to exert force if you put the things down."

The boss doesn't understand what Bai Di is doing.

"You don't understand, that's right."

Bai Yi didn't explain. He just stood casually in front of the game console, twisted his waist slightly, pulled his arms back, and hit the game console with a quick and fierce straight punch.

Yes, bang!

Perhaps Bai Yi didn't expect that a punch from him without using all his strength could actually have such a powerful effect.

It seems like there is a hurricane howling and a ferocious beast is standing behind you!

With a loud bang, the machine shook.

The value soared wildly, and stayed at 1100 under everyone's nervous gaze.

"Ah... such a terrible punch can't even reach 1200, who can play it?"

"This is a liar."

"RNM refunds the money!"

Everyone had different expressions, but they were all shouting about the unreasonableness of this number. Only Bai Yu seemed to be thinking about something.

Bai Yi was a little confused, but he also knew what was inside the machine.

Bai Yu was confident that the punch he just delivered could score 1200 points, but this was just a screening value.

Before reaching 1200 points, the strength will be truly demonstrated.

But once it reaches 1200 points, a force will appear inside the machine. Only by being recognized by this force can you truly reach above 1200 points.

Bai Yu just felt that after his strength reached a certain value, it was rejected by that force, causing the value to drop.

Inside this machine... is the power of the elves.

The flow of power was controlled by something. Bai Yu opened his spiritual vision and saw thin threads spreading out inside the machine, forming a huge network. The center of power transmission was the midpoint of the network.

There was a small Pokémon there that Bai Yi couldn't quite see clearly, maybe it was a ghost type?

Or maybe...

Rotom!

Possessing a body inside a machine and controlling and changing its own attributes, Shiroku only knew that Rotom had this ability.

"What a shame! We are just one step away from the reward."

The boss came over, with regret clearly visible in his eyes.

"It's not a pity. In other words, it's best if no one gets the reward."

Looking at the boss's expression, Bai Di guessed an answer.

"The boss wants to give it away."

Bai Yu pointed at the machine and didn't say anything explicitly, but in the boss's eyes, it was as clear as day.

He knew that what Bai Yi was pointing at was something inside the machine.

"My friend is indeed extraordinary, but it's a pity that he is too stubborn."

The boss patted the machine, and after a ding-dong sound, several wheels appeared under the machine, making it easier for the boss to push it away.

The boss didn't say anything to explain. People around him thought that the boss knew that his secret had been discovered, so he was too embarrassed to continue doing business and had to leave.

After a while everyone dispersed.

"There is a Rotom inside, which is the so-called mysterious reward."

The boss pushed the machine to a dark alley, sat against the wall, and tapped the machine.

"I found this baby last year. It was very weak at the time and I didn't know how to take care of it. I could only ask around and try various methods to save it. After all, it is a life."

"Later, it recovered, and I was able to let it go without worrying about it, but this child... would never leave."

There was tenderness in the boss's eyes.

"I don't have any children and have always been alone. It wasn't until this little guy came along that I felt a little more alive."

"dad……"

A faint male voice came from the machine, and a pale yellow Rotom flew out and got into the boss's arms.

"I can't bear to part with this child, but I also know that its life span will be much longer than mine. I don't want it to be sad when I grow old, so I thought of a game method to entrust it to a capable person."

"Why don't you listen, kid?"
