[Zhongyingmei] The Spirit Master is backstabbing again

Jason must emphasize that the folly of 'ordering a lot of pillows at once before moving' was absolutely, absolutely not in his purchasing plan at first.

According to the plan, Jason went to confirm the safety and practicality of the new house, and determined that this was the best solution within the range of their options.

Very normal itinerary and thinking.

However, on the way back, when Jason officially started to think about the issue of the 'new home purchase list'... His thoughts quickly diverged uncontrollably to some—incomprehensible things.

Just, say, pillows.

When choosing and ordering pillows, Jason was calmly persuading himself throughout the whole process:

- Empty house without even basic furniture

——There is no bed or wardrobe in the room, so many pillows cannot be packed

——She hasn’t even visited the new home yet, so she’s not sure if she’s satisfied

- It's really naive and stupid to do that

While listing a number of strong reasons for quitting, Jason ordered enough pillows to fill the entire bed on the spot.

At that time, the store manager's bewildered and dark eyes, which didn't dare to look more, looked as if he had just witnessed him stuffing a handful of popping candy into the barrel of a gun, and at the same time claimed that he would use candy to defeat the enemy.

This made Jason feel like a comedian or an idiot for a while.

But, however...

"Pillow!" Selinya's eyes were instantly lit up by this keyword, and she looked at Jason expectantly, "Are there really going to be many of them?"

The shock of happiness that she had never imagined made her voice flutter, "And—is it all for me?"

God! !It's a pillow!She thought that being able to temporarily have a pillow in this hotel was already very happy! !

But Jason bought her a pillow!Her own pillow!

Jason: "...um."

Well, all in all, it worked out pretty well.

And in this way, she can always meet her basic requirements for a sense of belonging.

In fact, Jason did not agree with Selinya's views on 'eligibility to raise animals'.

——There must be enough beautiful and happy things to gain the love and sense of belonging of animals?

Tsk, if dogs and wolves like you, they will follow you even if you only have a wet roof to hide from the rain.

Jason changed the subject unnaturally, and his eyes fell on the cake that Serenia was holding, "...? Today is your birthday?"

"Ah, no," Selina held the cake in front of Jason, and replied briskly, "This is an anniversary gift from Mr. Stark."

"I'll bring it back for everyone to eat together!"

And she emphasized it very, very seriously: "It's my name, written by me!"

It can be seen how proud Selina is of this.

The name on the cake was written in a very serious handwriting stroke by stroke, but the strokes were a little childish. ——If cats learn to hunt from wolves, the claw marks left by cats on their prey will probably look like this.

Jason knew that Selina was going out today to the Avengers Building.It's strange that Jason is not surprised or hesitant like normal people about the matter of 'dealing with superheroes', and even has a familiar mentality that he is used to.

He pushed the little cake to Selina again, handed the fork back to her by the way, and asked, "...anniversary?"

Selinya carefully poked the creamy tip of the cake with a fork, but she was not willing to say, "Mr. Stark's proposal—to celebrate the anniversary of everyone's victory and encounter?"

This style of acting is very Tony Stark.

While Selinya was surprised and not used to it, she couldn't help but feel...it's great.

Turning every day spent with your peers into something special and worth celebrating is just—cool.

[Memorial Day], this word sounds very beautiful.

[Celebrate with everyone], this assumption is also very warm.

However, it was obvious that Jason's ability to grasp key points was not in line with Selina's. "...What victory? Battle victory?"

...? ?What the hell are you doing!

Selina: "...."

In the end, Selinya tried to use the cake to coax her teammates. She put the cake in front of Jason again, "...it's delicious."

Quietly, it's weird.

Selinya explained vaguely that 'I happened to meet a criminal in the building'... After all, it still involves Jessica, so of course I can't fully tell the whole process.

And Jason was indeed a little angry.But not to Selina.Even he himself couldn't tell why.

It was like——he couldn't accept that the important people around him were facing the enemy, but he wasn't there.

This would make Jason feel a sense of irritability and suffocation that even he could not explain.

An angry Jason stared at the cake fiercely.

Under Selinya's expectant gaze, Jason picked up the fork, scooped out a super-big piece of cake and then raised his hand.

Then he backhanded the cake to Selinya fiercely.

"Huh?" Selinya, who was stuffed with a big mouthful of cake, looked at the other party with puzzled eyes.

Jason didn't even answer, and fiercely cut a piece of cake and stuffed it to Selinya.

Selina: ...

Seriously this is definitely not my idea of ​​sharing a cake.

Jason, Mr. Vampire, my good teammate, how on earth are you so confident.

In the end, under Selinya's resistance, this small cake, which was only the size of a palm, finally achieved an equal share.

Of course, she did not forget the snow wolf and the three-headed dog.

Two canines, one big and one small, licked Selinya's palm until the tip of their nose was covered with cream.

Licking the cream on his nose, Snow Wolf stood up slowly, and flicked Jason, the hairless upright two-legged beast, with his tail with a 'snap'.

He even turned his head and walked away confidently, as if saying: It's not me!none of my business!It's all made of my tail! ——This wolf is really a dog and holds a grudge.

Jason: ....

Seeing Selina contentedly scratching the remaining butter on the paper plate with a fork, Jason suddenly asked, "Today is the anniversary, what about your birthday?"

"...Good question," Serenya was at a loss for words, and quickly opened the system panel to scan the pages, "Uh-oh, it's March 21."

Selina didn't know her birthday for a long time.After all—if people buy a cat or a dog, they probably remember its birthday and even celebrate it every year.But if people buy back a knife or a gun, they don't remember the exact date they got the weapon.

——Of course, Mr. Stark may be excepted.Celinya felt that he was very proud of the MK armors.

After Selinya was bound to the system, the system automatically collected data and generated a 'host data' database, including her date of birth.

That was also the first time Selinya learned of her birthday.

At that moment, Selinya judged that she should be more excited.After all, in the myths and legends she memorizes by heart, when the characters finally learn of their own life after going through hardships, they will be particularly excited and excited.And the whole story will reach its atmospheric peak at that time.

Selina tried hard to cheer herself up.

But it failed quickly.

The string of dates written on the light screen panel seems to be just a string of numbers, just like the records she used to mark the date of her reading notes, it is a string of numbers marking her life.

Other than that, it's no different than any other date in each year.

It is not worth looking forward to, and there is no meaning to remember seriously.

"Yeah." Jason nodded calmly.

Then this question, it seems very dull and quickly ended.

Although Selinya doesn't care about her birthday, she is very concerned about the moving plan, "We will move there the day after tomorrow?"

The black hotel room was prepaid just to that day.She has also told the Avengers all the news about the vulture and the purple man, and she has no task burden recently.

The whole day tomorrow can still be used to buy those basic daily necessities...

Guessing the huge expenses that might be paid, Selinya silently thanked [Hades Card] in her heart.

The fortune blessing buff brought by the God of Wealth is really very useful!

She was lucky enough to earn a total of [-] U.S. dollars on Ziren today!

And with the cooperation of [Phoenix] healing buff, this is completely a 'sustainable' and 'recyclable' way to make money!No animals or plants were wasted or harmed in the whole process (the purple people should also be included).

#Only the achievements of purple people suffering from trauma have been achieved#

"Well." Jason had the same plan as Selinya, but he tapped the map with the tip of his pen and added, "But you have to remember the surrounding environment first."

It's not just the most basic memory of 'how to get there by car', but the detailed memory of how many dead spots, monitors, and alleys there are around.

Selinya always felt that her memory was not good, and she couldn't do the required photographic memory.At most, when reading a book, I can accurately recall the name of a passer-by character that appeared once three hundred pages ago.

So she stared at the map, very seriously.

At the same time, I was a little surprised, "Did you figure out this information so quickly?"

...It's amazing.

Jason's movements paused, and a small, cold light was caught on the tip of the metal pen, "...ah."

Rather, it was actually an instinct lurking in his body.

It was as if he had been taught by others that he had to remember the information.

Watching Jason skillfully mark densely on the map, the system also has a map function: ... why do I feel like I have lost.

Although they are all maps, the system can only record or locate and send Selina's [places she has passed by]. Those areas that the host has never set foot in will only be unlit and black.

System: ...Sorry!Today, I should ask Stark's AI how to upgrade the AI ​​itself.

And not only in this matter, the system felt a sense of crisis.

On the second day, before the two of them were ready to go shopping, Jason took out a small package and handed it to Serinya.

When the packet was opened, it contained a sharp dagger.

system:"?"

Selinya's eyes suddenly lit up, "Did it come out from the enemy that day?"

The gangsters who bought and sold weapons with Vulture's subordinates looked like they were giving away equipment.But actually the most useful weapons are the guns and daggers they carry with them. ——After all, the heavy weapons in the box are not very portable, so there is no need for them.

"Yeah." Jason bent down and wrapped the small bag around the palm of Selinya's knee.

The thigh bag is the habitual equipment of many agents and vigilantes. It is the most convenient position within reach. "Next time I will teach you how to use bullets."

system:? ? ...Because the other party was too confident, a kind of self-doubt of 'Is there something wrong with me' arose instead.

After trying to restrain himself, the system still couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "He really wants you to be a melee mage."

"No." Selinya said calmly, "He's just in case."

"I can tell you honestly, System, I have also considered this question: How can I arm myself as much as possible without relying on you." Selinya has made too many calls that no one answered, That kind of empty disappointment has long been a habit for her.

Celinya can't and won't pin her hopes on the system and cards.

The process of waiting for others to save is hopeless, either to close your eyes and survive the despair; or to arm yourself with hope.

Even if one day she really loses the system and loses those cards, Selinya will not allow herself to return to the desperate situation she once was.Selinya can use the system, but she cannot treat the system as herself.She needs to master her own power.

As she said when she first met the system, she's not afraid to associate with demons.But she can always learn something from demons.

But Selinya was surprised that Jason had such an idea.It was as if he too had experienced the despair of having no choice.

Selinya covered the small bag with her skirt, and said lightly, "Thank you. I like this gift very much."

System: ...you let me buffer my emotions.

And so for a long -- a long time, the battered and shaken system was silent.

When walking out of the hotel, Selinya couldn't help staring back at this place for a few more seconds.

She looked at this place very seriously, this expensive and dilapidated, chaotic and orderly foothold.

It sucks, but it's still the happiest place Selina has ever lived.

"Ok?"

Seeing Jason's questioning eyes, Selinya suddenly laughed, "I just remembered when we first lived here."

One just crawled out of the coffin, and the other just escaped from the cell.

"Well," Selinya nodded a little proudly, "It seems that we have lived a good life during this time."

And now it's time to move on to a bigger and more interesting living environment.

They all take good care of each other, especially Jason, who has grown so-so much!

Also very happy.Of course, this also includes two smaller magical creatures.

Selinya turned around and followed Jason to the station, "Of course, it will be better in the future."

Jason: "...Is this a prophecy?"

The spiritual master thought about this question very seriously, "It is a prophecy, but it will also be a fact."

This will definitely be a word spirit that can come true.

It was true for Jason, it was true for her.For everyone - that's it.

==

But if the premise of welcoming a new life is to spend so much money, then Selinya thinks that she might have to think about it again.

There is no basic furniture in the empty house that no one has lived in. Jason seems to be quite experienced and took Selina to a few places that don't look like selling furniture from the outside, and complete it at the lowest price. The necessary facilities.

Considering their current savings, this is actually not a particularly terrible expense.

"..." But for Selinya, who was about to buy candies, all of this was too exciting.

Even though he had made psychological preparations before, and even pulled the purple man to work overtime crazily, but—the intuitive impact is always the most shocking.

She didn't feel bad about herself when she didn't sleep on the bed and sleep on the straw!

Her living expenses for the entire month before were less than one gold coin!

"I don't think there is any need for a refrigerator—" Selinya finally couldn't help but boldly suggested, "Snow Wolf and I can freeze the food directly. That should keep it fresh!"

If not enough, there is a system backpack.Although there are only ten slots in the backpack so far, it is still enough to barely squeeze... I guess.perhaps.

Jason:  …

He had to find a way to make some money.The fastest way to make money in Gotham City is—?

So when the system broadcast sounded, the system almost heard the resounding [嘿! 】Sound of relief.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement: Gotham House.Mission description: How long is the journey from crawling out of the dark to owning a home. 】

[Reward: $1000, a random ordinary card——]

"Money can be earned again," the system tried to comfort Serenya, "In the near future, I will locate a few more enemies with strong endurance (referred to as resistance to beating) for you."

At the same time, the system calmly analyzed: this should not be considered cheating, it is just maintaining world peace.

I don't know if it's a tacit understanding, but neither of them mentioned the topic before going out.

Random cards are automatically flipped:

【Card · Tarot】

Tarot, the goddess of spring in Greek mythology.She can make plants flourish and green shoots sprout.She looks like a very warm goddess, which is very suitable for the current season.

but--

Celinya's eyes paused for a moment on the [card skills] list.

On the skill list, 'manipulating plants' seems useful, but the second skill...

"...Scattering flowers?" Selinya repeated the phrase, "Did I understand it wrong? It is the literal meaning of...Scattering flowers?"

System: "Yes."

"After using it, you can scatter a lot of flowers from the palm of your hand."

Selinya: "... What is its usefulness?"

"Hmm - the skill of the atmosphere group." The system said an unscientific theory with a very technological mechanical voice, "This skill will be very useful when invigorating the atmosphere!"

"Actually, I still have [Canned Laughter], [Seal Applause], [William Scream] and other skills. I hope the host can unlock them soon."

Selinya smiled, and Selinya's eyes were gentle.

Selinya said softly: "Do you really think that you have no entity, so I can't hit you?"

Thinking of the former Ultron, the system: ...

As a calm and mature intelligent AI, the system knows how to be flexible and changeable, and will always deal with various accidents skillfully with an attitude of specific analysis of specific problems.

So he decided: he quickly shut his mouth.

Although the goddess of spring can control plants, she cannot conjure plants out of thin air.Considering the high and low green status of Gotham City, Selinya decided to go to the flower shop to reserve a batch of seeds.

"Can you also buy some potted plants?" She suggested to Jason, "This one doesn't seem expensive...We can grow it on the windowsill."

Jason pushed against the door of the flower shop, let Serinya in, and said casually, "And then say hello to them every day when you get home?"

"...feels like a good idea."

When Selinya first came to this world, she once stood on the street and watched the beautifully packaged bouquets in flower shops from a distance.

...really all beautiful.

They look -- exactly the kind of art that's supposed to be seen.

The owner of the florist just took out a large bouquet of roses from the inner room and solemnly placed them on the table waiting for the customers who ordered them.

——It’s really a big bunch!

Selinya stepped on her feet to look at the list of flower species on the wall, and whispered to Jason, "I think there must be at least a hundred red roses..."

Jason: "...the standard rich man's style."

This sentence made Celinya suddenly open up a new way of thinking: Yes, maybe she can go directly to the rich area to sell flowers?

The entrepreneurial genius pondered over this question, and turned sideways to pick up the potted plant that was covered by the tall green plants at the door.

"!" The flower shop door just opened was pulled from the outside in time, and the man who was about to walk in looked down at Selinya, "Did you bump into you, miss?"

Jason also just propped up the frosted glass door that almost hit Selina, and he and Selene almost looked up together.

[Ding——] The system character icon automatically lights up: [Bruce Wayne]

System: Ah——

Celine: Oh, it's the rich man.

Jason: ....
