For some reason, the protagonists of the recent games like to climb to high places: for example, an assassin with a white hood jumping around on the roof of medieval Europa looking for a synchronization point, or an assassin who has retired but started to explore again under the persuasion of his brother treasure hunter.
Xu Shenxing doesn't like high places, it will always remind him of the not-so-good landing method when he first landed from the universe to an terrestrial planet outside the solar system—it took him a long time to climb to the surface from the crater he smashed. A lot of time.
As the old Fuso saying goes, only smoke and fools like high places. Xu Shenxing deeply agrees with this.
But today he had to be an idiot.
He is currently staying on the roof of a building. Beside him are Huakaiyuan Youyuan and a rusty water tower in front of his eyes, driving a telescope to search for the enemy intently. A large billboard for an artist who is no longer interested in it.
Jasmine didn't follow because there was an animation she wanted to watch today.
I don't know if today is a special case or a normal phenomenon as always, the wind howling on the stairs today caused Xu Shenxing to take care of it carefully, making it look like a mess with a little thicker hair.
Now that he knew that the other party was a monster of the water element, and he could be sure that the other party's target was the exhibition hall, it was naturally much easier to sit back and wait.
The exhibition hall is located diagonally below the building where they are located, and the road guarded is also the only way to go from the river to the exhibition hall—unless the monster intends to endure the drought and come around from the other side of the county.
But judging from its poor camouflage and clumsy movements, it might not be so easy to do.
What's more, there is only a handful of Tongzi Qie Angang left in the venue. As long as the opponent is a little eager for quick success and wants to grab things like yesterday and run away, so as to take the shortest road to the river, then it is inevitable. They will be blocked by Xu Shenxing and Huakaiyuan Youyuan!
And compared to the messy and turbulent stadium, the deserted streets below are more suitable for fighting with enemies.
Xu Shenxing yawned boredly.
So he decided to start harassing Huakaiyuan, who was working hard.
"As a spellcaster, I think it's too inappropriate to use telescopes. Don't you have some observation spells?"
"No one stipulates that magicians must use spells for everything, but cannot use modern scientific instruments."
The girl didn't turn her head, but replied in a cold voice: "If you think so, Lord Shenming, all the Onmyojis will have to be naked."
What she meant was that modern clothes are produced on industrial assembly lines, and can be regarded as the crystallization of modern technology. Even the clothes of onmyojis are not exempt from customs. If you don't wear them, you can only run naked.
"In other words, you don't know how to observe spells, right?"
Xu Shenxing looked at the girl's side face completely ignoring the other party's answer, but guessed on his own.
"..."
Youyuan felt that he would only talk to this lord god who was looking for trouble because he was full of food, and he should have followed what Chihaya-senpai said from the very beginning and ignored the eccentricity of lord god.
Seeing that Huakaiyuan did not answer, Xu Shenxing simply assumed that she had acquiesced.
"Speaking of which, will that guy come today? It's the first time I've seen you divination, and you used poker cards, so I always feel that it's not accurate." So he continued to find other topics: "Generally speaking, divination Shouldn't the tarot cards be used?"
"Playing cards were used by gypsies as props for divination before the seventh century, and tarot cards appeared in the fifteenth century, so in fact, playing cards have a longer history and are more mysterious. If you master how to use them, divination have a higher success rate.”
With a straight poker face, Youyuan spoke out all the information about the poker cards in a stick-ready tone.
If Xu Shenxing was just looking for something to talk to, then she had already made up her mind not to talk to him, but since Xu Shenxing was questioning the success rate of her divination, Yuanyuan, who was actually quite competitive, couldn't help but refute a few words.
By the way, the reason why she didn't refute it before is because she really doesn't know any other observation spells besides connecting the senses of the paper shikigami (that is, the small human-shaped piece of paper)...
"Yes~ Is that so~" But the girl didn't get the reaction she wanted. Xu Shenxing was looking at the sky casually, pressing down his hair with his hands to try to keep the original hairstyle, and after hearing the girl's explanation, he just answered casually.
"Master Shenming is really leisurely... You must have no troubles at all."
Youyuan, whose face had never changed in emotion, said suddenly for some reason.
Although the tone was still very good, Xu Shenxing could hear some complaints from it.
"Nope, I have enough troubles to fill a 3.5-inch floppy disk!"
"Very small (the capacity of a 3.5-inch floppy disk is about 1.44M)."
"Don't say it's small!" Xu Shenxing, who gave up his futility, let his hair dance wildly in the wind: "When I was in my hometown, I was worried about being able to eat every day; It’s almost time to change it; Speaking of which, I promised Jasmine that I haven’t bought the pajamas until now... and the various costs of water, electricity and gas bother me very much.”
It was the first time I heard Xu Shenxing talk about this, and Huakaiyuan showed a slightly strange expression on his face. After all, because of the robbery before... the hero took a look at the onmyojis who were peeping at him in the dark, so our protagonist currently has some spare money on hand, and his life is not as tight as it is in China.
"Master God, aren't you very powerful. You shouldn't need to worry about money."
It is very strange that the flowers bloom far away.
Although the girl didn't know what level Xu Shenxing's strength was until now, but being able to subdue her easily showed that at least in Fusang, few people could win against this god.
But even Huakaiyuan Youyuan, who always does white jobs for Yinyangliao for family affairs, has far more money in his bank account than the savings of ordinary wealthy families. It stands to reason that Xu Shenxing, who is even more powerful, should not worry about money.
Hearing Hua Kaiyuan's question, Xu Shenxing was silent for a while, then raised his head.
"It's not impossible to tell you the reason, but as an equivalent exchange, can you also tell me your troubles?"
"..." The girl showed a vigilant look.
This hurt Xu Shenxing a little.
It seems that she has been teasing this girl a little more recently, which made her guard against herself.
But after a while, when Xu Shenxing was thinking about whether to play less pranks in the future, and he didn't know what kind of psychological changes he had undergone, the girl suddenly said in a low voice: "Yes, but please speak first, my lord."
