Chapter 148 Necessary Investment
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Xinghan's gaze slowly moved across the list of summoned Shikigami, and finally stopped on a few Shikigami that were not top-level damage but each had its own merits.
He took a deep breath and made a decision - instead of blindly pursuing those popular but elusive powerful output Shikigami, it would be better to choose more practical and capable Shikigami based on his existing lineup and long-term planning.
Of course, he had no better choice.
"SP Shuten, your recovery and control abilities will undoubtedly be of great help to the team in battle."
Xinghan muttered to himself, he was well aware of SP Shuten's unique position among auxiliary Shikigami, his presence could make the entire team more resilient in a protracted battle.
Then, his eyes fell on SR Zhuiyue Shen.
"Moon Chaser, your acceleration and fire supply abilities are indispensable to our team. With you, our rhythm will be smoother and our skills will be released more freely."
Xinghan's recognition of Moon Chasing God is beyond words. He knows that this shikigami can significantly improve the overall combat effectiveness of the team.
Finally, his sights rested on the R-level Shikigami Iron Rat. Although Iron Rat's star rating was not high, Xinghan saw her unique value.
"Iron Rat, your gold bonus may seem small, but over a long period of time, it can be a huge help in our resource acquisition. Moreover, in certain situations, your skills can also produce unexpected results."
Xinghan’s choice of Tieshu is full of rational considerations. He believes that this inconspicuous R-level Shikigami will play an important role in future adventures.
After making the choice, Xinghan felt an unprecedented sense of ease and relief.
After careful consideration, Xinghan decided to place the newly acquired Shikigami in the courtyard system. This warm and peaceful space will become their home for rest and growth.
He knew very well that although the Shikigami each possessed extraordinary powers, proper rest and adjustment were equally important so that they could stay in the best condition for future adventures.
The courtyard system, as a unique existence in the world of Onmyoji, not only provides a comfortable environment for the Shikigami, but also hides many secrets to enhance their strength.
Xinghan waved his hand lightly, and the figures of SP Shuten, SR Zhuiyue Shen and R Tieshu slowly merged into the courtyard. They sat or lay down, enjoying this rare tranquility under the soft sunshine.
The lively and active mountain rabbit that jumped around, and Meng Po who was inadvertently dragged into the scene by it, also became new members of the courtyard.
The mountain rabbit still maintains its innocence, jumping from time to time, as if it wants to explore every corner of the courtyard; while Meng Po stands aside with a gentle posture, her eyes revealing curiosity and expectation for this new world.
Xinghan looked at the harmonious scene in the courtyard, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew very well that these shikigami were not only tools for fighting, but also his indispensable partners in this world.
So, he made a decision to place Yamausagi and Mengpo in the barrier as well, so that they could accompany the other Shikigami in the courtyard and grow together.
As the shikigami were placed one by one, the courtyard gradually became full of life and vigor.
Xinghan wandered in the courtyard and looked around, and found that everything was the same as in the game. It made people feel familiar, and at the same time, curious about the shops, trees and courtyards in front of him.
After settling everything in the courtyard, Xinghan sighed lightly and turned his attention to the status of his assets.
He found his room and quickly entered the inner room. When he found his wallet and opened his pockets, he saw that his assets were pitifully small - less than 1000 magatama, which made him smile bitterly.
As a traveler in the world of Onmyoji, he is well aware of the importance of resources, especially in this world full of unknowns and challenges.
“Now that we have decided to go further, the necessary investment is essential.”
Xinghan gently stroked the slightly heavy magatama objects in his hand. Each one seemed to carry some mysterious power from the world of Onmyoji.
He knew that in this journey full of unknowns and challenges, the importance of resources was self-evident. So he set out on a journey to the grocery store with a clear goal in mind - the permanent magatama card that could bring him long-term benefits.
Inside the grocery store, the light was soft and dim, and the air was filled with a faint herbal aroma.
However, the store was unusually quiet, with only a lazy cat curled up in the corner, snoring softly, seemingly completely immersed in its own dreams. This scene made Xinghan slow down his pace, fearing that he would disturb the tranquility.
He looked around and his eyes quickly locked onto the permanent magatama card that was placed in a prominent position.
In Xinghan's imagination, the magatama card that originally carried the mysterious power of the Onmyoji world has transformed into an exquisite ruby crescent-shaped pendant.
This pendant, like the gentlest crescent moon in the night sky, hangs quietly around his neck, exuding an indescribable charm.
The color of ruby itself is warm and deep, just like the hot blood flowing in ancient legends, or like the most gorgeous sunset solidified under the setting sun.
The shape of the crescent moon not only symbolizes the flow and cycle of time, but also symbolizes the eternal guidance of hope and dreams. Every detail of the pendant seems to contain the essence of nature for thousands of years and the endless ingenuity of the craftsman.
When light penetrates the pendant, the inside of the red jade seems to be ignited, emitting a soft and mysterious light. This light is not dazzling, but brings a warm and soothing feeling, making people involuntarily indulge in it.
What is even more peculiar is that under the reflection of this light, a faint fragrance begins to permeate the air. The fragrance is fresh and elegant, yet with a barely perceptible sweetness and mellowness, as if the purest fragrance of nature and the mysterious breath of ancient talismans are intertwined together, creating an indescribable wonderful experience.
Xinghan thought to himself that although this card was expensive, it was undoubtedly a worthwhile investment for a traveler like him with ambitions to go far.
However, he now thinks that it must be sold.
Because, look at the material, it's genuine.
Look at the color, it’s real stuff.
Smelling this fragrance not only made Xinghan feel relaxed and happy, but also made him feel as if he had established a subtle connection with the entire world.
He could feel the powerful force contained in the pendant.
That is a power that transcends words and boundaries, a power that allows one to survive in the world of Onmyoji!
He must possess this kind of power.
