Across Tokyo as Hokage

Chapter 37 Malls and Purchases

Unaware that his image is in the eyes of passers-by, Uesugi, who has become a 'mentally ill', returns to his residence with his things in his arms.

The tengu mask, black poncho with hood, waterproof shoes, and plastic gloves are all the cheapest kind, but they can cover the whole body after wearing them, so it is impossible for others to recognize him by appearance.

Standing on tiptoe, he took out a box from a bookshelf nailed to the wall, which contained his savings.

There are not only tens of thousands of yen from his part-time job, but also the second batch of purchasing funds given by store manager Kobayashi two days ago. In order to win him over, the other party gave him the remaining 20 yen this month.

Holding twenty large-value banknotes in the palm of his hand, Uesugi directly unfolded the system interface.

Gold: 2
Every 1 yen is only worth 1 gold coin. This ratio is too scary, but there are also many things he needs in the mall that only cost [-] gold coin.

Army food pill: 1 gold coin
Detonator: 1 gold coin
Smoke bomb: 1 gold coin
Kunai*10:1 gold coin
Shuriken*10:1 gold coin
Short sword: 1 gold coin
Practice double card (one week): 1 gold coin
Omit...

At the bottom of the mall, there are rows of 1 gold coin products piled up, although many of them are not worth [-] yen, like ordinary daggers, kunai... Shuriken and other props, these are extremely cheap to make in reality, but some props are not Excellent value for money, such as military food pills, detonating charms and the like.

However, the biggest advantage of the mall is that it can avoid surveillance, and the things purchased from it will never have to worry about being found out.

This is also one of the confidences that Uesugi will be able to control everything in the dark. After all, these materials can meet any needs of superpowers. Only those who are obedient and clear up monsters are eligible to buy them. He can even issue tasks and do something by himself. want to do.

Dagger*1, Detonator*1
Spiritual Will Click to buy under the two products. At the same time as the gold coins change, the banknotes in the hand turn into black ash and dissipate like the previous Saint Quartz, and the items also appear in front of them.

The detonating talisman is a palm-sized strip of talisman paper, with complex runes on the outer edge, and the word "explosion" in the center, as long as a little chakra is injected, it can be detonated after a delay. The prerequisite for using this thing is to have chakra , even if ordinary people tear it off, it is impossible to stimulate it.

How powerful it is, because I haven't used it before, I dare not say more, but in Hokage, even a super shadow level duel can take effect, so you can understand how strong it is.

Of course, the detonating talisman is just in case, and Uesugi will not use it lightly.

Once it is used, it means that things will become big, and it will only be used as a life-saving card. He has not forgotten that monsters have already appeared, and it is not impossible for stronger monsters to appear after such a long time. After all, Tokyo is too big. It is completely normal for fish to slip through the net.

The main weapon of battle is the short sword. Although there are a lot of ninja swords in the mall, including artifacts, he can only shed tears of poverty when he saw the zero.

It's called a short sword, but it is a half-meter-long single-edged straight knife with a simple handle made of two smooth cylindrical wood blocks. It looks extremely simple, and it doesn't even have a scabbard.

He bent down and picked up the dagger with a suspected fraudulent name, and stood it in front of his eyes. His expressionless face and eyes full of anger were reflected on the cold blade.

It can only be said that it is a bargain, not to mention compared with those famous knives, it may not even be as good as the few long knives bought in the school kendo gym for the show, they are barely usable goods, weapons of ordinary small workshops.

Swish!
The wrist trembled lightly, and a pleasant feeling came, and Uesugi realized how different real weapons were from ordinary wooden knives, and they couldn't be compared at all.

When I completed the task before, if I had this long sword, even without the blessing of Chakra, the time to end the battle would not exceed 1 minute!

It's just that at that time, the difficulty of the task will drop to the lowest D level in a straight line. After all, the strength in hand will be calculated when the task is released, so the stronger the strength is not the better when performing the task.

Wrapping the dagger in a sword bag, Uesugi first replied to Chiyo Kobayashi on Line.

Let her tell her mother that she returned to her residence safely, and then threw the phone on the bed. The price of the phone is too expensive. He is afraid that it will be damaged during the battle, and he is also afraid of flaws. There are many bad things about the phone in various movies and TV novels.

Line is the most used free communication software in the island nation!

A large number of interesting functions and updates that keep pace with the times, plus only charging for some officially sold stickers and emoticons, have made this communication tool conquer the younger generation of the island country, and even many middle-aged and elderly people are gradually using it This communication tool.

Leaving the apartment building quickly, it was so late and it was raining heavily, and Uesugi walked smoothly to a semi-public place a few streets away without meeting many people. When you see the mask, you don't have to worry about someone's impression of you.

It is said to be semi-open because it is located at the end of the street, and it is said to be open because everyone knows what it does here. After all, this is a place with complete procedures, and even the public security police in the office can only admit that it is a legal place.

The casino mentioned here is naturally not a real casino, but a characteristic 'casino' of the island country.

Uesugi took a deep breath before stepping into the luxurious revolving glass door.

Da da da!
Just walked into the store, the sound of metal pinballs colliding with excited screams and disappointed curses could be heard.

The huge area, at least no smaller than two basketball courts, is filled with pachinko machines that are nearly human tall.

The number of intensive machines is at least a few hundred or more. People of all colors crawl and crouch in front of the machines with different expressions, either depressed, crying, or excited. Among them are middle school students and the elderly, and their occupations are also extremely complicated. From white-collar workers to students.

Pachinko!
That is a pinball machine.

This kind of shop is almost all over the island country, and it is also a way of 'legal gambling'.

Gambling is prohibited by island law!

But pachinko parlors have found clever ways around this law.

That is, the marbles obtained in the store can only be exchanged for priced gifts, not cash. The gifts can be sold in another store not far away to get cash.

It is precisely because of this method that this kind of store is popular in the island country, and countless foreign tourists will come to experience the charm of this kind of game.

The output value of the pachinko industry is about tens of trillions per year, that is, more than tens of trillions. The profit is not lower than that of the automobile industry, which is the pillar of the island country, and there is a Jidao organization behind every store.

It is precisely because of the dual pressure of the economy and the pole that the pinball shop has become a legal shop for more than half a century, and it is still a legal shop until now.

Those who can open this kind of store must be covered by extreme Taoism. After all, in addition to terrible profits, this kind of store is also suitable for bleaching gray income.

If you don't have a pachinko shop in your hands, you are not qualified to be called a formal organization. Regardless of the fact that the hand group holds properties in several buildings, it is just a small organization that is not popular.

Uesugi came here on purpose precisely because he knew the background of this store.

Here, the normally polite people seem to have changed into a red-eyed gambler.
