As an area close to the Seireite Temple, District 1 is much more prosperous than District 38. The streets are clean and tidy, and there are various shops on both sides.
"Thank you so much."
Uncle Watanabe dug around in his arms, took out five banknotes and handed them to Duan Mu, and said with a smile: "What kind of job did you do during your lifetime? You could cook in a tavern, help people farm, and even repair houses."
You are so beautiful, and a few days ago I heard Granny Baishi next door say that you are also very good at fighting, and I helped her fix all the people who bullied her grandson."
"Hahaha, since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with great compassion!"
Duan Mu held his head high and shouted at Uncle Watanabe's tavern: "From housework to searching for people, I am proficient in everything. If you have any difficulties, come to me! Whether it is one thing or ten thousand things, as long as you have money
, I am willing to do it, the famous Wanshiwu Duan in District 38."
"...I asked you what you did when you were alive, and I didn't let you advertise in my store." Uncle Watanabe waved his hand with a dark face: "Get out of here, there are many Shinigami among my customers, and I provoked them.
, it’s useless even if you know how to fight again.”
"Don't be so stingy. If you come to me next time, I'll give you a discount."
Duan Mu chuckled and put the commission fee of five thousand rings into his arms: "Then boss, I'll leave first."
Looking at Duan Mu who turned to leave, Uncle Watanabe couldn't help but feel happy: "This kid..."
"Boss, who is he?"
At this moment, several people came out of the store, both men and women, and they were all very different in age. The older one looked to be in his thirties, while the younger one looked to be in his teens.
These people are all wearing the same style of kimono, except that men are white at the top and blue at the bottom, and women are white at the top and red at the bottom. There are two logos similar to shurikens on the chest of the kimono.
"You can see him all the time in various districts in the west recently."
"Well, I also saw him once during my last vacation. I saw that he was helping the aunt next door take care of the children."
"When I saw him, he was picking tea in the tea garden."
"..."
After Uncle Watanabe saw the clothes of several people, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his old face. He has been running a tavern in Runlin'an for more than ten years, so he naturally knows who can be offended and who cannot be offended.
The person who should not be offended the most is without a doubt the God of Death wearing a Death Tyrant costume.
Although these people in front of me are not the God of Death, they still belong to a category of people who cannot be offended, because these people are all students of Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy.
Even though they were also from Rukongai, and he even knew some of them, as long as these people successfully graduated and joined the Gotei 13, they would transform into high-ranking Shinigami-sama.
"That guy's name is Duan Mu, not his surname. He said it was his full name." Uncle Watanabe didn't hide anything and told a few people what he knew: "He opened a 'Everything House' in District 38
, Wanshiwu is the kind of shop that accepts any kind of commissioned work."
"I think Duan Mu must have been a super talent during his lifetime. He could do everything from housework, farming, weaving, repairing houses to tracking, finding objects, and sending love letters. He could also learn to do anything he didn't know in a short time, and he could even fight.
Very good at it too.”
"He is willing to help others, charges cheap prices, and there are discounts for women. So in just three years since the store opened, everyone in the western part of Rukongai knows that there is such a store. Anyone who needs to hire people will come to him."
Speaking of this, Uncle Watanabe pointed to his tavern: "Two days ago, two Shinigami-samas drank too much and smashed the wall of my shop, so I asked him to help me repair it. Look how beautiful the repair is.
.And sometimes if the store is busy, he will be asked to be a temporary chef."
"Is it so powerful?" A female student's eyes were full of curiosity.
The male student next to her, who was of the same age as him, said with some disdain: "Isn't it just that he knows how to do some chores? How can you tell that he is so good?"
"Then will he accept murder?"
"Where's Shaxu?"
"..."
Several people's questioning made Uncle Watanabe sweatdrop on his forehead: "Ah... these... I haven't heard of him taking it, but he probably didn't take it. After all, he is not the God of Death."
"Then let's pay him to help us beat up the college teacher. Can he accept it?"
Uncle Watanabe: "..."
Are these thornheads really students from Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy?
People who can be teachers at the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy cannot be beaten by the residents of Rukongai like them. Even if they can be beaten, unless Duan Mu is crazy, he will not accept this kind of thing.
Delegate.
"It's a holiday tomorrow, do you want to go take a look?"
A young student said excitedly: "It sounds a bit like the Adventurer's Guild in RPGs. It feels very interesting."
"What is an RPG?"
"...when did you die?"
"Taisho 15."
"No wonder..."
…
After leaving West District 1, Duan Mu did not go back to the shop in District 38. Instead, after leaving the residential area, he ran for several hours and arrived at a relatively remote village.
This is the West 54th District. Starting from this area, there are basically areas with extremely poor security.
The streets were littered with all kinds of rubbish, and in the shadows of the houses there were many people with cigarettes and fierce expressions. However, after seeing Duan Mu, these people couldn't help but shrink back into the shadows.
Duan Mu ignored them and headed straight towards the depths of Area 54, finally stopping in front of a dilapidated building far away from the village.
"Ah, it's Wanshiwu's brother!"
As soon as he arrived nearby, residents in the dilapidated building discovered Duan Mu and ran out of their houses one after another.
But they were children one after another. The older one looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, while the younger one looked to be only about 5 or 6 years old. There were exactly thirty people in total, and most of them were little girls.
These children are all homeless children.
Some were unaccustomed to being in forced families and ran away secretly; some were family members who turned into spirits and disappeared, leaving no place to go.
"Brother Duan Mu."
Looking at the timid little girl in front of him, Duan Mu reached out and rubbed her little head, and said with a gentle face: "I took over the job of running Lin'an today, so I bought some candies there.
It’s the flavor you like.”
When they heard that there were candies, the children's eyes lit up and they rushed towards Duan Mu.
"Don't crowd. Everyone has a share. If anyone crowds indiscriminately, I won't give it to him."
As soon as this was said, the children lined up in a queue consciously.
Duan Mu nodded with satisfaction, first took out some clean drinking water from the sack, and then distributed the bags of candy to the children present.
[‘Otonmiyu’s’ favorability is 1, and you get 7 experience points. 】
[‘Hua Fang’ has a favorability of 1 and gains 4 experience points. 】
[‘Katakura Jie’s’ favorability is 1, and you get 2 experience points. 】
【……】
The reminders that kept ringing in his mind made the smile on Duan Mu's face become gentler.
Although the numerical value is a little small, the amount is large.
In such a short time, Duan Mu gained more than a hundred experience points.
Current experience value: 654.
Duan Mu discovered this place two months ago. In the past two months, whenever Duan Mu went to work in the areas with the first few numbers, he would buy children's snacks and bring them to these children.
Compared with adults, it is much easier for these pure-minded children to increase their favorability.
After handing out the candies, Duan Mu chopped some more wood and helped the children make some beds, tables and chairs, and then left here under the watch of a group of children.
…
When Duan Mu returned to the shop in District 38, it was already approaching night.
Generally speaking, there are no customers in the store at this time, but today it is a little different.
After returning to the store, he tidied up and was about to walk upstairs while carrying a bottle of wine when his footsteps suddenly stopped.
boom!
Almost at the same time, the sliding door of the store was suddenly smashed into pieces, and a figure rolled into the store and did not stop until it hit the sofa.
Duan Mu: "..."
The customer is God, the customer is God, the customer is God...
After silently reciting the rules for opening a store several times in his mind, Duan Mu suppressed the murderous intention in his heart for the customers, forced out a stiff smile, and said: "Customer, please compensate me for the repair cost of 1,000 rings before entrusting... Hmm
?" Duan Mu choked on his words and looked at the outside of the store with dull eyes.
And the reason for his reaction was entirely because a 'very special' customer walked in outside the store, a pig with elegant steps and a bow tie?
"Drinks and snacks delivered to your door?"
"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts...ah, I was thrown off by my little piggy again."
The figure who bumped into the sofa also got up from the ground at this time. Duan Mu turned his head and looked, using the moonlight, after seeing the appearance of the person clearly, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Why did he come to me?
"Are you the boss of Wanshiwu who is quite famous these days?"
The visitor looked Duan Mu up and down, and said in a disdainful tone: "I don't see anything great about it... Forget it, will you accept the commission of moving?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Duan Mu to reply and pointed at himself.
"By the way, I am Shiba Ganjiu, and I call myself..."
"That's it."
Duan Mu waved his hand, interrupted the visitor, and said lazily: "I've heard of you, so I don't need to introduce all the titles you claim to have."
In fact, I have never heard anyone say it. If he hadn't met him in person, Duan Mu would have forgotten that there was such a number one person in Nishi Rukongai.
Shiba Rock Eagle.
A member of the Shiba family, one of the five great nobles in Soul Society, but that was a long time ago. The Shiba family has long since declined, and now there are only four great nobles in Soul Society.
"I will take over the moving task. When will the work start?"
Duan Mu was not interested in this person, but he was very interested in his sister.
certainly……
It's not that kind of interest, it's just that if you can find a way to make friends with his sister, it will definitely bring you a lot of experience points.
"ah?"
Yanjiu, who was interrupted by Duan Mu to introduce himself, was obviously a little unresponsive. After a few seconds, he said in a daze: "Ah... yes... we will move early tomorrow morning."
