Chapter 149 Found Xiaobai
Xinghan looked around, looking for the clerk, hoping to get some help or guidance. So he called out softly, "Excuse me, is there anyone here? I need some help."
However, the only response he got was the lazy cat's snoring and the faint fragrance in the air. Xinghan's voice echoed in the empty store, sounding particularly clear, but no one answered.
He frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled, and raised his voice a little: "Hello, is the clerk here here?"
But still no response.
Xinghan began to notice that the layout of the store was simple and orderly, with a variety of goods neatly placed on the shelves, ranging from summoning tickets, herbs to various magical tools.
However, apart from the sleeping cat, he saw no sign of any of the store employees.
Only then did Xinghan realize that this grocery store might be different from the ones he had seen before.
He looked around, searching for any possible self-service shopping tips or instructions.
Sure enough, in a corner of the store, he found a seemingly simple self-service shopping terminal and a sign that read "Self-service shopping, please operate by yourself."
"So that's it. This is a self-service grocery store." Xinghan suddenly realized that this design was naturally in line with the game settings.
Without the guidance of the clerk or any tedious questions, Xinghan walked skillfully to the self-service purchasing area.
He gently placed the magatama in his hand one by one on the sensing table. With a crisp sound, the numbers on the screen jumped rapidly and finally stopped at the number "666".
An inexplicable excitement and anticipation surged in Xinghan's heart, as if he had already foreseen the benefits this card would bring him.
After completing the payment, the permanent magatama card lay quietly in his palm.
Xinghan gazed deeply at the permanent magatama card in his hand. At this moment, it had turned into an exquisite jade pendant, flashing a warm and deep red light.
Xinghan gently tied the jade pendant around his waist, feeling its warmth and weight against his skin, as if a mysterious power was closely connected with his soul through this small object.
"Great! It's guaranteed." Xinghan's heart was filled with unprecedented peace of mind and anticipation.
The 24 magatama he earns 20 hours a day is undoubtedly a stable and considerable income for him, especially in this world where resources are scarce and challenges are numerous.
What excites him even more is that if there is a time difference between the two worlds, then he will have the opportunity to take advantage of this to further increase his profits and accumulate more resources for future adventures and explorations.
Thinking of this, Xinghan couldn't help but smile knowingly. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power hidden deep in his body, and began to try to adjust the flow of time in the Yin-Yang Master's courtyard.
As his spiritual power surged, the light and shadows in the courtyard seemed to become subtler, and time seemed to become soft and malleable under his control.
After some effort, Xinghan finally succeeded in adjusting the flow of time in the courtyard to a more ideal state.
Here, every day will pass faster than in the outside world, and he will therefore gain more benefits from the permanent magatama card.
However, as he realized, the price of this accelerated time was also obvious - he could not stay here for too long, otherwise, although the time in the outside world passed slowly, he himself would age rapidly.
This discovery made Xinghan fall into deep thought.
He understood that although the pursuit of power and resources was a necessary step for every Onmyoji, the preciousness of life and the irreversibility of time were also worthy of his deep consideration.
He must find a balance between using the advantages of time acceleration to enhance his strength and ensuring that he does not consume his precious life prematurely.
Therefore, Xinghan realized that while pursuing the benefits brought by time acceleration, he must ensure that he will not suffer irreversible loss of life due to the rapid passage of time in the courtyard.
To this end, he set up a special mechanism called "Mark of Immortality". The core of this mechanism is to completely decouple his actual physiological growth rate from the courtyard's time system.
In order to achieve this goal, Xinghan began to look for a reference that could serve as his time perception and self-protection. Among many options, he finally decided to focus his attention on the five-color zither in his arms.
Using his profound spiritual power, Xinghan carefully carved a subtle mark on the five-colored Yaoqin.
This mark not only has the function of recording time, but also can send out warning signals when there is a deviation between Xinghan's physiological growth rate and the passage of time in the outside world, ensuring that he can always stay alert and adjust his status in time.
With this "mark of immortality" as a reference, Xinghan is more adept at managing time in the courtyard.
He can enjoy the accumulation of resources and improvement of strength brought by the acceleration of time, without having to worry about aging quickly due to the rapid passage of time.
In this way, he can not only maintain the best physical and mental state, but also devote himself to future adventures and challenges with greater enthusiasm and vitality.
Xinghan was immersed in his own thoughts, his eyes falling on the five-colored harp at his waist from time to time. The subtle marks on it seemed like a mysterious bridge for him to communicate with the outside world.
He thought about how to use the time difference more efficiently to accumulate resources, and a bold idea gradually formed in his mind.
"If one day in the Fengxing world can be equal to one year in the Onmyoji world, then every time I travel back and forth between the two worlds, I will gain a huge time benefit."
Xinghan muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
He began to calculate carefully. According to this time ratio, every time he returned from the Fengxing World, he would be able to accumulate a generous income of 7000 magatama, which would undoubtedly greatly accelerate his growth and strength improvement.
However, just as Xinghan was immersed in his own plans, a sudden thought interrupted his thoughts - his beloved fox Xiaobai was missing.
Xiaobai is not only his pet, but also an indispensable companion in his journey. Her sudden disappearance makes Xinghan feel worried.
He quickly put down what he was doing and began to look around the courtyard.
Xinghan did not miss any corner or bush. He called Xiaobai's name softly, hoping that she could hear and respond.
After searching for a while, Xinghan finally found Xiaobai under a tree in a corner of the courtyard. It turned out that she had been hiding here quietly, curled up in a ball, and sleeping soundly.
