[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

Gojo Satoru raised his chin towards the burly men who were lying on the ground in a coma and said, "Hey, aren't these ready-made?"

"It would be better to search them for usable currency, otherwise we will have to sleep on the streets tonight."

Xia Youjie thought about the stones that were swallowed by the cursed spirit. They looked precious, and he thought it would take some time for him to find a place or someone to sell them to.

But he really disliked the dirty job and didn't want to do the job of touching corpses, so he snapped his fingers and let a hamster-like cursed spirit with hands and feet to "do" the job.

"Do you think the people here can see the cursed spirits?"

Gojo Satoru casually kicked an unconscious man with his toes and used the man's clothes to wipe off a stain on the edge of his shoe.

He shrugged and said nonchalantly: "You will know if you try it."

"Tsk."

With a groan of "Ouch", the burly man who was kicked gradually regained consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met a pair of crimson, narrow and long fox eyes.

"Hello, could you please answer a few questions for me?"

At the same time, he also saw the woman standing beside him, wearing a white dress and holding a pair of rusty, oversized scissors.

A dozen eyes hidden in the woman's long black hair suddenly opened. Her palm-sized face was wrapped in bandages, leaving only a big scarlet mouth that was grinning behind her ears.

"Am I...am I beautiful?"

"Ah! Ghost——"

……

Huailiang's 'start' cannot be said to be unsuccessful.

This world, where special groups such as guides and sentinels also exist, is not much different from her hometown in terms of the level of technological development.

This means that apart from the differences in social structure, it is not difficult for her to disguise herself as an ordinary resident.

As long as you can get some money, you can get a citizenship transfer status such as refugee asylum on the black market.

She first found an informal machine shop in the old city, applied for a job as a machine modification engineer, and got a job at the bottom of society.

Although it is not something that can be seen much, after all, some of the objects that have been renovated are banned by the current government.

Secretly, she also took a part-time job that made more money, working as a "doctor" in a black clinic.

With the development of technology today, there are professional medical facilities and medical personnel to handle common knife wounds, gunshot wounds, or conditions requiring open surgery.

Although there is no crisis of genocide caused by the invasion of pollutants, there are still various class barriers in this world, but they are not as serious as those in her hometown.

Huailiang had never studied medical knowledge in a serious and systematic way, and all he knew was simple bandaging and hemostasis learned on the battlefield.

But there is always a dark side in human society——

Even among the sentinels and guides who possess five senses and combat methods that are more powerful than those of ordinary people, there are many who roam in the "light-bound" occupations.

Although sentinels and guides are not required to serve in this world, the government will conduct annual census tests to count the number of these special groups of people.

Then the sentinels who are engaged in dangerous work and cannot find formal channels such as guides in hospitals or spiritual counseling can only turn to the black market for help.

In terms of 'comfort', Huai Liang's spiritual counseling is a bit lousy, but she has a high limit of spiritual power and a large storage capacity~

Her life is almost in danger. Although it is a bit uncomfortable, she can suppress her violent spirit. What else does she need a bicycle for?

Moreover, Huai Liang's biggest trump card is that she is well versed in the operating rules of the dark world, and can control and apply them skillfully.

Powerful military force is the first element to ensure one's own safety.

If someone who doesn't know the rules sets their sights on her, a sweet commodity that can greatly relieve the sentinels' irritable mental energy, and wants to abduct her and make her their private delicacy—

Then she also knows a little bit of boxing.

Relying on this business with almost no capital, Huai Liang quickly became famous in the underground black market in just a month.

And from the city where she is located, called Lanying, it continues to radiate to the surrounding areas.

Almost everyone who is in the "underground world" knows that there is a guide wearing a black mask with wave patterns who takes on the job of channeling mental energy.

The prices are so fair that they can even be called affordable, and they keep their mouths shut, never leaking customer information to outsiders.

There's nothing wrong with it except that the movements are a bit rough.

Huai Liang also earned a lot of credit points from this - which is the trading currency in this world.

There are plenty of "talents" in the black market, so it is certainly not difficult to obtain the identity of a natural person.

Although her income was considerable, it could not withstand her purchase of various types of special materials of ores and even energy stone consumables from various channels on the black market.

In addition, due to her strong curiosity, she did not plan to stay in one place for the rest of her life, and she had not forgotten her long-cherished wish of "traveling around the world".

Without the worries about survival, Huai Liang first bought himself a series of daily necessities such as a computer.

In addition to devoting herself to studying and improving cutting-edge technology in mechanical manufacturing, she also spent all her remaining interest on exploring gourmet restaurants.

It's a pity that the Federal Republic of Helsingfors where she lives is one of the most technologically advanced countries on the planet, but when it comes to the inheritance of gastronomy... it's quite lagging behind.

It's not just this country. Even the country called Oslo Empire mentioned in the news displayed on the giant advertising screen on the day I first came here seems to be a food desert.

Perhaps it is the rapid development of technology that has replaced all time-consuming and inefficient industries.

It seems that fine dining has become an experience that only the old-school upper class can enjoy.

For people in the middle class, it is already a rare delicacy to eat food made from fresh ingredients using ordinary food processors. If you want to make your own food——

Most people have forgotten even how to use recipes, ingredients and seasonings together.

Huailiang has flipped through the history books of civilization on this planet. The human race here migrated here and continued to multiply and grow.

Many past civilizations, such as cooking, are not considered important knowledge that needs to be preserved.

Therefore, it was destroyed after the 'Great Migration' and its inheritance was almost cut off.

Only among some large and long-established capital aristocrats can the culinary tradition be passed down.

They almost monopolized 90% of the spice planting industry, and the little they managed to get through their fingers was...

They are just gourmet restaurants in the capital or important cities, and the prices are shocking.

And the people in the lower class and even the bottom...fill their stomachs with nutritional supplements.

Due to the exploding population, the land is unable to supply the fruits and vegetables that grow naturally.

Even if you spend money to buy fruits and vegetables to satisfy your hunger, they are ripened by technology, and their taste and nutrition are greatly reduced.

The above series of problems caused Huailiang's plan to experience the food from another world to almost fail in the womb.

She could only use the Star Network to search for some cheap restaurants hidden in underdeveloped areas.

Go to those small shops that claim to have a heritage and try your luck -

The question is, since she doesn't have much savings and doesn't want to be taken advantage of, she has to spend a lot of money to move to a hotel in other developed cities and be slaughtered like a pig.

On this day, Huai Liang finished the weapon modification on a simulated arm early, which was a rare occasion.

She stretched herself, said goodbye to the store manager, and turned on her computer to search for any cheap restaurants in Lanying City.

Among them, a post by the host in a food mutual aid forum caught her attention.

She calmly glanced at the title "Family, who understands? I ate life noodles in this new shop!" and quickly scrolled down.

The food pictures in the post immediately caught her eye.

If she was not mistaken, this should be a bowl of... fox soba noodles soaked in refreshing soup?

Fried tofu, fish slices, bok choy, and chopped green onions are sprinkled on the curly noodles, and it’s a deluxe version.

The sound of cicadas chirping one after another is noisy in my ears.

It was 6 o'clock in the evening. Huai Liang looked up at the sun which was still glaringly bright above his head and began to look for ways to travel.

It had been a long time since she thought about what happened on Blue Star.
