Xue Qiong and Xiao Yun are the two earliest members of the researcher organization. And their relationship has always been a mystery in the eyes of everyone... And today, seeing that these two people have finally made decisive progress, the other members are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Xue Qiong got up from the sofa in the living room and bowed to all the members of the researchers.

"Thank you."

Although Xue Qiong felt that he was in a much better mood after doing this, the other weirdos were actually thinking about "whether the leader's brain was withdrawn" or something, and only a few of the older members understood what Xue Qiong meant.

Dinner was early. The accountant ordered the chef Liu Huan, the time to start the meal is subject to Xue Qiong coming out of the room, and before that, heat up the dishes on the table every half an hour....

I don't know who framed the note, but that doesn't matter anymore. As for this table of dishes, it seems that the bald head has also opened a similar menu for Emiya Shirou...

"By the way, senior, and the bald uncle." Xiao Yun tried to deal with the dishes that everyone sandwiched into her bowl, and said, "This time, can we inquire about the next plot world?" ”

Xue Qiong, who was sitting next to her, just wanted to say that she wouldn't talk about this yet...

[Hint: It has been detected that you have 3 existing team members, so you need to pay 300 points at once when you perform the "Query the next story world" operation.] 】

(If you can check it for a hundred points like the original, then those solo reincarnators who don't have a team will suffer too much...) ）

Xue Qiong saw that Xiao Yun also took her left hand in front of her and stared at her ring beacon for a while.

Xue Qiong smiled and said, "Then it's up to you, now among the three of us, only you have points, and I have no right to speak..."

At this time, Xue Qiong noticed that Xiao Yun's face was stained with rice.

Then countless fleshy episodes flashed through his mind in an instant... He began to struggle over and over again: (What to do?!) What should a normal couple do?! Pick it up? Say it? Or do you think you didn't see it?! Bastard!! There is no valuable reference at all!! These three plots, I seem to have them in my memory!! What to do? What to do?! I really care... ）

(If you pick it up, you have three different options...) Put it on the table? Put it in my own mouth? Put it in her mouth? ）

For Xue Qiong, who has always been not very good at adapting to normal social relations, this problem is even more difficult than whether to kill a person.

Xiao Yun noticed Xue Qiong's gaze, then took off the rice sticking to her face and stuffed it directly into Xue Qiong's mouth who had just decided to pretend not to see it and turned her gaze back.

Xiaoyun said triumphantly: "Hey, hey, hey, in fact, I want to put it on my tongue first, and then send it to the senior's mouth~"

Well... Sure enough, even if a relatively "normal" relationship has been established, the way normal people communicate with each other is still not suitable for them.

-----------

Xue Qiong did not propose the idea of changing rooms, which made Xiao Li very disappointed, because he originally took the opportunity to live in the same room with the accountant after Xiao Yun moved in with Xue Qiong.

After dinner, the researchers went their separate ways. Xue Qiong and Xiao Yun don't have any projects in their hands for the time being, and even the "No. 4 sample" they brought back last time was shelved because they entered the space.

And although they have established the current relationship, there is not much change in fact, it just shows that Xiaoyun is more sticky to Xue Qiong, and Xue Qiong no longer chooses to reject Xiaoyun.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed in the real world.

This morning, Xue Qiong, Xiaoyun and the bald head gathered in the living room. This is the day that has been planned, go to the trading area to have a look.

Although the bald head said that there was only one point left on his body anyway, and it didn't matter if he went or not, he was still pulled by Xue Qiong and Xiaoyun. After all, the bald head was the only one of the three who hadn't been to the trading area, and both thought he should go and see the magical "wet market"...

Teleportation is a blink of an eye, and of course, the travel expenses of the three of them are all paid by Xiaoyun.

The three of them appeared directly in the middle of the trading area, very different from the last time they teleported here... It seems that the teleportation from the real world to the trading area is random, as long as there is a place to land.

[Welcome to the trading area of the transfer station.] 】

[Reminder, the trading area of the transfer station is a peaceful area, and it is forbidden for reincarnators to attack each other.] In addition, if the transaction is not concluded, the items traded here are bound by default and cannot be changed. 】

Xue Qiong looked around for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "The number of people is not much different from last time, but the number of goods has obviously increased..."

This is neither good news nor bad news for them.

First of all, the stability of the flow of people in the trading area means that in the current space, the death of the reincarnation and the replenishment of the newcomer reincarnation have formed a balance, but this actually has nothing to do with Xue Qiong and them...

The increase in goods means that prices will drop to a certain extent, although it will be cheaper to buy things, but don't forget that selling things is also one of the purposes of their coming here.

The purpose of Xue Qiong's three people coming to the trading area this time was first to sell the Caster in Xiaoyun's necklace... Because Caster was captured into the necklace by a soul trap, when she left the story world, Xiao Yun's beacon did not ask her to spend money to mark, so Xiao Yun still has more than 1,000 tradable points on her body.

And spending these points is their second purpose. The plan is to get a reinforcement for Xiaoyun, and then buy some equipment that can cooperate with the enhancement for the bald head who has been strengthened.

Because Xue Qiong also obtained a life crystal when Minette destroyed the Great Holy Grail, they could save some costs when Xiao Yun was strengthened, and in this way, they expected to be able to earn a lot more points to buy equipment for the bald head.

The enhancement of the bald head, after a few days of testing, summed up the following effects:

First of all, the strength of the muscles has increased dramatically, and the bald head can now use the heavy high-frequency katana with one hand.

Then, the bald head's ability to resist blows and heal itself has been greatly enhanced, and his magic power has become very abundant. This allows the bald head to cast healing magic on himself even in head-on combat, providing endurance in a protracted battle.

The senses of taste and smell are somewhat weakened, but the senses of hearing, sight and touch are greatly improved.

The blood turned into a black liquid mana, but it could not be called directly. From this point of view, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this enhancement.

The heart is no longer beating, and after the black magic takes over the function of the blood, it can actually flow through the veins of the bald head on its own without pressure... While no one can say why this is happening, one thing is certain, and that is that the bald head will never have anything other than the head from now on.

After summarizing these, the three of them discussed what to buy for the bald head.

Buying him a new weapon to hold in his left hand and finding someone to repair the Takakubo katana by the way is the fastest consensus reached. After the bald head increased his strength, the original long knife was no longer enough for him... The bald head's own idea was to get a shield, and since then, he has relied on a thick-skinned and thick-skinned reinforcement to fight on the front line.

In addition, in fact, this enhancement of the bald head has a very important feature, that is, he has a large number of organs that are idle, and it can even be said that except for digestion, respiration and nervous system, other organs are in a completely idle state.

In other words, you can simply remove those internal organs that are not needed, adjust the position of other internal organs, and after freeing up some space in the chest and abdominal cavity, you can put some other things in it... But because this is a bit difficult, and they don't really know if there will be a magic effect if these physiologically non-working organs are removed, they put this idea in the last sequence.

Xiao Yun found an open space in the trading area and erected a sign that read:

"Sell high-quality souls, Caster the Immortal in Fate. Note: Containers are not included. ”

After all, the necklace around Xiao Yun's neck was given to her by Xue Qiong, how could she be willing to sell it together?

Then the three of them began to take this point as the center, little by little, to see if the other stalls had anything suitable. Of course, they still have to check their sign from time to time to see if there is anyone next to them.

"How's this?" Xue Qiong picked up a half-human-high metal heavy shield from a stall and handed it to the bald head for him to try.

The bald head weighed it for a moment, and then said, "It's too heavy, not with one hand." And..."

The bald head took a look at the price.

"It's too expensive..."

After all, it's spending Xiaoyun's money.

"Bald uncle, you're wrong!" Xiao Yun said seriously: "Let you be in charge of being a meat shield, in fact, we are a little reluctant to go!" If you don't buy a good shield... Not! It stinks!! ”

A man whose whole body was covered in a sackcloth cloak that was very dirty at first glance, and whose face could not even be seen clearly, seemed to have caught a glimpse of a clearing next to the shield stall, and walked upside down.

However, he was covered with a terrible stench. Should be... The smell of corpses was mixed with the smell of some pungent spices. So much so that the people around him covered their noses and avoided for a distance, and only a passer-by wearing a gas mask looked at the hell-like guys with a puzzled expression. Even the few stall holders here were busy moving their buttocks sitting on the ground.

"Thank you, thank you, big brothers!" The stinky man watched the open space that was originally only a small piece of land suddenly grow larger, and nodded happily to the people who vacated the place... It's as if people are really kind.

"Uh..." Xue Qiong's psychological quality is quite good, and she can barely withstand this smell, driven by curiosity, she didn't hide away, but pinched her nose and asked: "This brother, what is this smell on your body..."

"Hey, look at me!" This suddenly patted his head, "I can't smell it without a nose, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone..."
