However, the value of this piece of equipment seems to be a little worse, Xia Ran assessed it slightly, and then threw it into his private space, leaving it alone for the time being.

- He probably doesn't use it much, but maybe it will work wonders at some point.

After all, no matter what type of parasitic beast it is, it would definitely not think that a person who has no place to hide anything in his body will suddenly pull out a forty-meter broadsword from where to draw at the moment of hand-to-hand combat......

If one is not good, it is probably the moment when the winner is divided and life and death are decided.

Private space is an important standard feature for the Lost, not only for inventory purposes, but also for combat...... It's just that there are really too few grids, and the initial grid is only five squares.

It's not impossible to expand your private space, but you also need to wait until you get out of the quest world and operate in your own personal area.

And the first time you raise five grids, you need 5,000 points, the second time you add five more grids, you need 10,000 points, and the third time you add five grids you need 20,000 points...... I don't know if there is a limit to the number of expansions, but each time it is doubled on the basis of the previous one.

Xia Ran doesn't have any extra resources at the moment, and he will probably be tight in the future—even if it's just 5,000 points—so the initial 5 storage compartments may have to accompany him for a long time.

As for the inconvenience, there must be, but there is no way to do it, so we can only overcome it as much as possible.

……

……

After lunch, Xia Ran left the temporary residence again.

There is no goal, just wandering around the city, relying on the special sense of his left hand, to find possible parasitic beasts as the next target to hunt.

Although those things seem to have become worthless mobs, no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, even if a parasitic beast only has a hundred points, he is not willing to let it go, after all, there is no other way to earn points now.

Besides, Xia Ran doesn't have much time left-

Originally, if he had done nothing, he would have been able to stay in this plane for more than a year, but if he interfered with the cause and effect of this world, it would have increased the degree of interference in the white space......

Then it will be quickly rejected by the corrective force of the plane itself, and the residence time will be drastically shortened.

As for how much it is shortened, it depends on what level of interference it has reached, for example, because Xia Ran changed a very critical and important plot node, the stay time was directly shortened from the estimated "one year" to "two months".

Oh, it's been less than two months now, after all, it's been another week since that incident.

The safest choice for him now, if nothing else, is to spend the next time safely, don't get into trouble, and then safely break away from the gravitational pull of the laws of this world and return to his own reality dimension.

However, Xia Ran before may be happy to hear such good news and make such a choice as a matter of course...... Now he doesn't want to do that.

Because now that he has enough self-protection and combat ability, and has found a companion who can help, he is naturally unwilling to waste the last precious time, and he feels sorry for himself if he doesn't seize this opportunity.

…… Even if the kill rewards alone are now greatly reduced.

But there is no reason to say that when there were no conditions before, you still have to be careful and careful to calculate for every possible reward, even if it is to risk your life.

And when it was time to hunt parasitic beasts easily, he was ready to give up, no matter how small the mosquito legs were, they were still meat.

There is also an important reason that-

Although Xia Ran changed the fate of Izumi Shinichi, so that the protagonist of the plot would not encounter such a tragic future, it also made the other party lose an important transformation opportunity.

It is precisely because he suffered a death and was then rescued by his right hand, and let the cells of the parasitic beast penetrate his whole body, that Izumi Shinichi will change his previous timidity and become calm and resolute.

And because of the change in physique, he has the ability to move and perceive beyond ordinary people, and even during the sleep of his right hand, he can solve ordinary parasitic beasts alone...... This is not the righteous backstab that Xia Ran took before, but the kind that directly fights.

It's just that no matter how you look at it now, Izumi Shinichi will not go down this path again, but as the opposite of the protagonist of the plot, the actions of the parasitic beasts are likely to have not changed much......

So Xia Ran is really a little worried, will it be because the protagonist's golden finger is not strong enough, and he can't beat the villain.

Therefore, he wondered if he could use the last time to do as much as possible, such as directly overthrowing the final boss or something, which was the monster that combined five parasitic beasts......

It's not that there is no chance of winning, as long as you make good use of the intelligence advantage, the chance of winning is still very good.

In fact, that's what he's doing now - it seems that he's been spurred on by his premeditated mass hunting during this time, killing eight parasitic beasts in a week, so much so that the other monsters in the city have begun to move.

The number of their groups is very rare compared to the huge human society, and even if the usual relationship is loose and there is no contact, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Xia Ran's thinking is also very simple, because he really has no impression of the details of the plot later, so he can only let that thing take the initiative to come to him.

He vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a product created in Ryoko Tamiya's laboratory, and the essence was actually five parasites parasitic on the body of the same host...... Although the combat power is very ferocious, it is not the kind that is so strong that it cannot be solved from the beginning.

Because the parasitic beast that was the command tower at the beginning failed in the battle with Izumi Shinichi, it was replaced by another parasitic beast to act as the command tower, and the parasitic beast was able to completely unify the whole body consciousness, and it really became the terrifying final boss.

And Xia Ran's idea was to gather all the strength to nail it in one go and never give it a chance to go back and adjust and upgrade when this combined monster came to the door for the first time.

Again, if everything goes well, that monster is a hunting target with low risk and high returns.

After thinking about it, Xia Ran finally decided to be more radical.

……

……

At the same time, on a thriving shopping street.

A beautiful girl with earmuffs and long black hair is slowly walking forward while looking down at her phone.

Very suddenly, she suddenly raised her head, showing a surprised expression, and then put her phone in her pocket, turned around quickly and trotted in the direction behind her......

It's just—

"You're going to see that guy again?"

A slightly unkind tone sounded, and a bad bastard in a gray woolen hat, a handful of stubble on his chin, and brown red jackets and jeans stood in the way of the girl.

"Mitsuo? How are you? ”

The girl raised her eyebrows fearlessly, staring at the bad gangsters in front of her without being afraid at all.

"How did you end up here...... Wait, have you been following me? ”

"I say! Kana, are you going to see him again? The unscrupulous thug named Mitsuo did not answer, but asked again in a low tone and annoyance.

"Him?"

"It's the guy who thinks he's a righteous partner......" Mitsuo clenched his fists and said with some grievances.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but get angry, he was a student of Peking High School, and he often clashed with students of Western High School.

One day not long ago, when he and his partner were beating a Western High School student, a fool came up to persuade him to fight, and he beat him severely, but at that time, Kimijima Kana stopped Mitsuo from beating the boy......

Mitsuo didn't think there was anything wrong at that time, he just thought it was because Kana Kimishima was more sympathetic as a girl, so it was normal.

The point is that he felt that he had shown himself once in front of the other party, showing off his powerful muscles, so he was triumphant.

- It is also understandable that at a competitive age, naïve boys like to be brave and ruthless in front of girls they have a good impression of, and regard brain-dead behavior as a way to show their ability.

Guangfu is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, at that time, he simply felt that he was very beautiful, very handsome, very strong, and felt good about himself.

But after that, something was wrong, and Kimishima Kana didn't know what evil he had fallen into, so he began to investigate the guy named Izumi Shinichi, and his attention rose rapidly, and he even went to that guy often......

Mitsuo, who didn't have many brains, began to panic about this, and he couldn't think of any good ideas to solve this problem with his lack of brain plasma concentration, so he just kidnapped the kid's girlfriend to threaten the kid with some indiscriminate means, and beat the other party violently......

That didn't solve the problem, as Kana Kimishima continued to keep a close eye on the kid after that, even observing around Nishitaka from time to time. Mitsuo was very disgusted by this, and the whole person became more and more irritable because of it.

“…… Get out of the way, I'm going back. ”

Facing his questioning at this moment, Kimishima Kana was silent for a moment, and then said very coldly, without answering his question, but directly about to bypass the other party and leave.

She has no way to explain her behavior to the other party, and she doesn't feel that she really has any need to explain, and the other party is not really her own person, and she wants to take care of her affairs with her own feelings?

"Are you really going back? Not to meet that kid? Mitsuo subconsciously grabbed the girl's arm, and asked in a low voice angrily and anxiously, feeling a great anger and a sense of crisis rising in his heart, "You shouldn't like him, right?" ”

"What are you doing...... It hurts, let me go. ”

Kana Kimishima shook off the other party's hand and said angrily.

"And it's none of your business at all, right? Don't mind my business! ”

And after being delayed by Mitsuo for a short while, the target captured by the telepathy is moving away. She was also a little anxious, so after breaking free from the other party's entanglement, she trotted forward quickly, ignoring the expressions of the bad gangsters behind her.

“……”

Mitsuo, who stayed in place, had a red and white face, and his clenched fist was desperately forced, and then he gritted his teeth and chased after him.
