[Comprehensive Manga] The good year of making copies

This is a refugee camp that can be seen casually in post-war Japan today.

The shogunate's measures to appease the people after the war were very good, probably to reassure some moderates who have not given up, and to save some radicals from being stimulated.

This allows both parties to get a respite.

The refugee camp was built on a gentler area on a leeward hillside, sheltered from the cold winds blowing from the north.

There are still many broken trees and scorched marks around the camp. As far as the eye can see, the original green land can be seen devastated by the artillery fire.

The yellow soil dug out by the explosion can be seen the fertile black soil buried deep.

This is the only hope for this group of refugees gathered here - to rebuild their homes on the battlefield, plant and irrigate this black land.

This will be their new home after they get word of peace.

Xia Chuan looked at Gao Shan, who was standing on a high place and staring at the refugee camp, and couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.

Such a thriving scene full of hope may be very exciting to Takasugi.For people in the dark, things like hope and light are the most lethal.

But from Xia Chuan's point of view, he hopes to continue the war.

——With war, there will be monsters that keep rushing up, and there will be materials and equipment that explode, as well as gold coins and experience.

It's just that after seeing such a scene, Xia Chuan was a little shaken.

He thought of what the GM told him before, don't treat NPCs as AI, they have life.

Xia Chuan glanced at Takasugi, and had a little bit of agreement with this statement, and then when the system prompted the refugee's favorability score to be -3, the agreement disappeared in an instant.

Probably the people Takasugi was looking for were in the refugee camp—they were now surrounded by refugees at the gate of the camp.

Xia Chuan pursed his lips as he watched the refugees who took up weapons to guard against their arrival.

It's nothing more than a group of data streams that follow the orders of the main system. Except for a few characters related to the task who are particularly full, the emotions of others are as thin as clean white paper.

Xia Chuan never thought that the NPC who gave him the task was life. He never thought about it before, and now he doesn't believe it.

Can a real person give him a task?Can you open a trading window with him?Can emotions be digitized into favorability?

Do not make jokes.

After completing the main quest and going back, some real people will accompany you to play. In this world full of AI data streams composed of NPCs, you can no longer try to get close to NPCs because of emptiness and loneliness.

So as not to ask for guilt like in the exorcist boy.Looking at the 40% completion of the total task, Xia Chuan silently cheered himself up.

The favorability system is as crappy and unreliable as the production team of the virtual world.

In addition to being able to get more tasks and enjoy certain gifts, would you like to get closer to NPCs according to their favorability?

The attitude is the same as that of the production team: if you are serious, you will lose.

A person who probably has some status among the refugees stepped forward: "My lords, Edo has issued an order to abolish swords..."

"Get out of the way." Gao Shan interrupted the other party's words, wrinkled impatiently.

Kawagami Mansai did not move, but Xia Chuan knew that Takasugi had never been patient with civilians.

The other party did not hesitate to ask with his head held high: "If you want to see Mr. Sakamoto, please take off your weapon and leave it outside the house."

Xia Chuan looked at Gao Shan when he heard the words, slightly surprised.

He didn't go to look for Gui, and when he saw Gui, he watched him leave, but now he took the initiative to find Sakamoto...

Xia Chuan glanced at the favorability of Tatsuma Sakamoto-3 on the attribute panel, and immediately felt a lot of pressure.

Tatsuma Sakamoto's playful smile is usually comparable to Gintoki's, but judging from his various performances—especially his observation of Xia Chuan, he is more suspicious than Takasugi.

Should it be said that things of a kind flock together and people are divided into groups... Xia Chuan has seen the relationship between Takasugi and Sakamoto before.

The relationship between Gaoshan, Gui and Yinshi gave Xia Chuan a very tacit understanding. One look may tell each other's next move, but the colors between them are very bright - the black Gaoshan, the white Gui, and the longing for peace. silver hour.

As for Sakamoto Tatsuma... No matter how he gets along with any of the other three, the feeling in it can be described in one word - harmonious relationship.

Among them, the tacit understanding between Sakamoto and Gintoki is the most important.

Sakamoto knows everyone well, but the closest to him is Sakata Gintoki.

When you communicate with Sakamoto, you will never worry about not being able to find a topic. The topics raised by the other party can always accurately hit your point of view, and you can talk about it with eloquence.

"Ah, isn't this Takasugi...and Xia Chuan? Hahaha, long time no see!" Sakamoto paused before calling out Xia Chuan's name, his mood was probably the same as when Takasugi woke up and saw Xia Chuan who was safe and sound.

It's just that Xia Chuan has time to exchange Takasugi's favorability, but this time he doesn't have time to increase Sakamoto's favorability.

Fortunately, because of Takasugi's relationship, Sakamoto's favorability for him has not declined again.

Sakamoto looked at Kawagami Mansai for a while, and said haha ​​to the refugees: "I'm sorry to trouble you, these three are my friends."

The expressions of the refugees were still not very good, but at the same time they put down the weapons in their hands and let them go.

Sakamoto brought the three of them into a tent, and Xia Chuan was the last one, his footsteps paused slightly, but he still entered the tent.

For the time being, Sakamoto's favorability has nothing to do with him.

"Ahaha, it's great that you two are alive." Sakamoto ruffled his already messy curly hair, opened his mouth to say something, stared at Takasugi's bandaged left eye for a while, but finally laughed a little voice, and swallowed the words back.

Gao Shan took off his bamboo hat, took a sip of tea, and went straight to the point: "Are you connected with heaven and man?"

"..." Sakamoto was stunned for a while, then nodded: "There is contact, peace talks have started recently, it is better to do business haha..."

Hearing this, Takasugi stared at Sakamoto for a while, his dark green eyes were gloomy, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a half-smile.

Sakamoto's eyes were covered by sunglasses, and his mouth was grinning, showing no real emotion.He beckoned He Shang and Xia Chuan to sit down, smiling brightly as always.

Takasugi was not annoyed, and sat on the tatami and flipped through the materials Xia Chuan gave him.

Heshang looked at Takasugi for a while, and walked over to remind him that he should pay attention to rest. Takasugi responded casually, and continued to flip through the materials.

Heshang, whose words had no effect, shrugged at Xia Chuan, indicating that he was helpless.

Xia Chuan glanced at the blue and black under Takasugi's eyes, saw that his fatigue level was half empty, and without any hesitation climbed onto the tatami mat that was supported by Takasugi on the opposite side, and fell asleep in his nest.

"Xia Chuan is still so obsessed with sleeping...haha..." Sakamoto looked at Xia Chuan who said he was going to sleep for a while, and obviously remembered Xia Chuan's behavior of sleeping as fast as possible when he was marching.

Silence spread in the small tent.

"Katsura is also alive, in Edo." Gao Sugi read the last piece of information, looked up and broke the silence.

"Ah! That's great, haha, have you seen it?"

Takasugi responded and nodded.

He has met Gui, but Gui has not seen him, but Xia Chuan must have brought the news of his life to Gui.

Gui also asked Xia Chuan to bring him a bomb for support...

Thinking about it, Gao Shan took a look at Chun Yu's information in his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "Chun Yu, have you contacted it?"

Sakamoto simply gave an affirmative answer: "Not bad, they have always been stupid in business hahaha..."

Gao Shan pondered for a while, "How to contact Chun Yu?"

Sakamoto's smile froze for a moment.

"what?"

"How to contact Chunyu." Gao Shan repeated, with a very calm expression, as if saying that the weather is good today.

Sakamoto was silent.

"You want to contact Chun Yu?" Finally he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's not me, it's Xia Chuan who needs to do this." Gao Shan looked at the sleeping person beside him, regret flashed in his eyes for a moment.

Sakamoto held his chin and looked at Xia Chuan for a while: "It's not good for you to do this."

"It's only right that he will listen to me." Gao Shan withdrew his gaze from Xia Chuan's face: "It's good if you can succeed, and there is no loss if you fail."

Sakamoto sighed softly, and smiled again: "Ahaha, although I don't have a good impression of Xia Chuan, as a partner who once fought together..."

"I don't approve of you doing this." Sakamoto said, putting his hand on his soft curly hair: "Xia Chuan is a good fighter, it is better to stay with him than to let him die."

Gao Shan was silent for a while, and touched his left eye which was still bandaged.

The bandages that Xia Chuan put on for him were always more useful than ordinary bandages. His left eye, which would ache in rainy days, no longer hurt after putting on the bandages Xia Chuan gave him. The wounds on his body healed much faster than usual.

Calloused hands rubbing the information file: "I have my own ideas."

Sakamoto gave up the idea of ​​arguing with Takayama, and based on his understanding of Takasugi, he more or less guessed Takasugi's thoughts.

It's just that Takasugi would decide to hook up with Tianren.

"For the sake of Mr. Matsuyo." Sakamoto's expression was solemn and profound: "I will help you for the last time."

……the last time.

Help you one last time.

Takasugi who heard the implication suddenly clenched his hands and kneaded the information into a ball. After a while, he let go of his fist and looked at Sakamoto with an indifferent expression as if he was treating a stranger.

"Thank you."

"I can help you get online with Chunyu, and the rest is up to you." Sakamoto stood at the door of the tent. When he was about to go out, he turned his head to look at Xiachuan for a while, and then turned to Gaoshan: "Yinshi is in a residential building not far from here. Here." After speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

Gao Shan paused slightly, and his eyes fell on Xia Chuan. After a while, he smoothed out the wrinkled documents in his hands as if he had come to his senses, just like sorting out a chaotic mind, bit by bit. Flatten it.

Drinking tea on the side of the river, his expression was calm, and he remained silent from beginning to end.

……

Chun Yu quickly responded.

They are always happy to launder money. After all, the robbed things are piled up there, so naturally it is not as good as the money that can be squandered at will.

That night.

Sakamoto took Xia Chuan onto the small airship.

Takasugi and Heshang had already left the night before the spring rain, after all, they had no choice to meet the former Shirayasha.

Xia Chuan looked at the flickering light spots in the sky, and the giant beast in the sky that was getting closer, tugged at Sakamoto's sleeve.

"What's wrong? Don't be afraid haha!"

Xia Chuan shook his head, "Don't say it."

"Huh?" Sakamoto asked inexplicably.

Xia Chuan simply pulled out the ring and threw it back into the bag, touched his long-lost sharp ear: "Don't say it."

Sakamoto stared blankly at the sudden change of person for a long time, until Xia Chuan tugged his sleeve again before regaining consciousness, still scratching his head like he was stuck: "Ahaha, it turns out that Xia Chuan is also a celestial being..."

"It's not a celestial being, it's an elf." The elf's sensitive sharp ears trembled slightly, Xia Chuan suddenly remembered that such an explanation seemed useless, half lowered his eyes, and reiterated his request: "Don't say it."

After a pause, he added: "Especially Takasugi."

Otherwise, Takasugi's favorability will definitely soar.

"Oh..." Sakamoto reacted for two seconds: "Ahaha Xia Chuan likes Takasugi so much?"

"I don't like it." Xia Chuan retorted, his emerald eyes fixed on Sakamoto, waiting for the other party to give him an affirmative answer.

Sakamoto scratched his head in embarrassment, until the airship hatch opened and docked with Chun Yu's orbit, then nodded: "Okay, I'll keep it a secret."

"Thank you." Xia Chuan nodded, and followed Sakamoto out of the airship cabin.

"In exchange, if Xia Chuan can come back safely, please tell me the reason for doing so. It seems very interesting haha..."

[Sakamoto Tatsuma favorability +2. 】

Xia Chuan froze for a moment, looked at Sakamoto's usual smiling face, and responded.

It's not certain whether it will happen or not. Soldiers come to cover up the water and cover it with soil, so don't worry.

Stepping on the deck of the Chunyu spaceship, Xia Chuan quickly dodged an approaching black shadow, reflexively launched a sprint to leave the spot, and started to capture and attract fame.

Halfway through the leap, the black shadow suddenly seemed to be caught by something, and it was pulled in the direction of Xia Chuan.

The other party reacted quickly, aiming at Xia Chuan with something like a weapon in his hand, and fired at Xia Chuan at the captured thing.

It's a gun——it's just that Xia Chuan has never seen such a gun.

The capture skill was interrupted, Xia Chuan quickly dodged a row of bullets, and quickly entered a stealth state.

"Hmm~" Sombra paused.

Xia Chuan finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.

Just out of infancy, the braided kid in a Tang suit who could barely be called a boy held a dark green umbrella in his blood-stained hand—this umbrella, which he just fired at Xia Chuan like a gun. set fire.

The bristly bristles on the other party's pink hair swayed, his eyebrows and eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and he licked his lips.

"It's just you, become my subordinate." The other party seemed to want to call his name, but found that he didn't know the other party's name.

The little ghost accurately pointed out the direction of the invisible Xia Chuan, and once again played an arc that made Xia Chuan's hair stand on end.

"I'm Chunyu's new seventh division commander, Shenwei." The dull hair on Shenwei's head shook again, "It's your boss, an incompetent rookie caught by humans."

[Player Xia Chuan Chaolu was awarded the title of member of the Seventh Division of Spring Rain. 】

[Player Xia Chuan Chaolu has obtained the achievement Enter Chunyu: Traitor. 】

[Shenwei Favorability +1. 】

Xia Chuan canceled his invisibility, looked at Shenwei, his whole body was still on guard, and nodded to Shenwei.

"I am Jalan Nord, please give me your advice, BOSS."
