The address of their new home was still in the suburbs. Under the guidance of Yanjiu and Jin Yan, the group of people arrived at another suburb.
Because he often travels around the western part of Rukongai, Duanmu is very familiar with the western part of Rukongai. If he is not mistaken, this should be the wilderness between the west and the north. Horizontally, it is probably in the area numbered 3-5.
between.
Does the picture represent purity?
Duan Mu couldn't help complaining in his heart. You must know that there is almost no communication between the southeast, northwest and northwest parts of Rukongai. The area between the two areas is even less populated. Living here feels like living in a villa in the suburbs. Buying one
You have to drive for half an hour to get food...
"Now, it's right ahead." The rock vulture leading the way suddenly pointed to the road ahead.
Duan Mu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the familiar giant chimney and the familiar low-rise house. From the appearance, they were almost the same as the previous houses.
However, there are two more arms on both sides of the front of the house that are taller than the house, holding a banner with the four characters "Shiba Kongzuru" written on it!
"It turns out to be here."
Although he had seen it several times through a cold screen, when this building with an overwhelming sense of presence appeared in reality, Duan Mu's brows jumped and he felt a sense of admiration.
“Unique.”
After holding it in for a long time, Duan Mu could only use this word to describe the overwhelming admiration in his heart.
"Yeah, I thought about this for a long time before I came up with it." A woman's voice came. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, I saw a beautiful black-haired woman walking in front of a house not far away.
Judging from her appearance alone, she appears to be in her twenties. Her right arm is broken at the elbow, wrapped in a bandage, and her left arm with the word "empty" tattooed on it holds a pipe. She has a beautiful face, graceful figure, and well-dressed
The degree of exposure and the pectoralis major muscles made Duan Mu feel like the other party would roll over and slap him at any time... The colors of the clothes were almost the same.
The moment he saw the other party, information about the other party emerged in Duan Mu's mind.
Shiba Kukaku, the current head of the Shiba family.
The leading pyrotechnics master in Rukongai. Although he is not a Shinigami, he is extremely powerful and is extremely good at ghost skills.
"Are you Duan Mu?"
Konghe came to a few people, looked Duan Mu up and down, and said with a generous smile: "The owner of the tobacco shop in District 3 that I often go to often mentioned you to me, saying that you are helpful and the business of the shop is good.
From now on, I will help her in my spare time, which makes my ears almost feel calloused."
Tobacco shop owner in District 3?
An old woman with a kind face suddenly appeared in Duan Mu's mind. Grandma Zuo Yu was one of the few people whose favorability score exceeded 50 for Duan Mu. She was gentle and would often entrust Duan Mu to harvest tobacco leaves for her.
"Grandma Zuo Yu is so polite. If I really want to tell you, I am often taken care of by my mother-in-law. She has introduced me to many customers of the tobacco shop." Duan Mu said in a serious tone, but his words were true.
, the reason why Wanshiya was able to have so many customers in such a short period of time was because of the spontaneous help of the Rukongai residents who had a good impression of him.
This also made Duan Mu feel a warmth that he had never experienced before, and he was even more convinced that his idea of "exchanging sincerity for sincerity" was correct.
Compared to trying to win the other person's favor, this way of approaching the other person with the mentality of "sincerely making friends" can make Duan Mu feel the changes in himself.
perhaps……
This is the so-called "can change after death", even though Duan Mu didn't know how he died, and why he fell into Rukongai inexplicably.
Konghe looked at Duan Mu's unfaithful expression, laughed, and patted Duan Mu on the shoulder: "You are indeed a good boy, much more sensible than my Yanjiu."
Duan Mu restrained his instinct to dodge and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Both siblings seemed to like tapping people on the shoulder.
Maybe it's because this kind of condescending behavior makes people uncomfortable, or maybe because of his "semi-social fear" nature, he's not used to this kind of close contact. Anyway, Duan Mu doesn't like people patting him on the shoulder, nor does he like patting others on the shoulder.
[‘Shiba Kūkaku’ favorability is 1, gain 300 experience points]
Um?
Duan Mu was stunned and looked at Konghe in front of him.
The favorability degree increased by 300 experience points from 0 to 1. Doesn't that mean that as long as Kūkaku's favorability degree reaches 9 points, he can gain 2700 experience points?
This is equivalent to the total experience points provided by 6 or 7 Rukongai residents who have a 60 degree of favorability towards Duanmu.
And this is only the experience value provided by 1-9. You must know that for every ten points of favorability, the experience value obtained will be doubled.
Konghe looked at Duan Mu who was in a daze, and waved his hand in front of Duan Mu's eyes: "Hey, kid, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's okay."
Duan Mu shook his head hastily, with his signature gentle smile on his face, ready to continue to get closer to Konghe.
However……
But Konghe didn't give him this chance. After saying hello to Duan Mu, she stretched and walked towards the small house. As she walked, she said: "I haven't finished building the downstairs yet. You guys put the things you brought here?"
Just stay outside, Jin Yan stays here and watches."
"..." The smile on Duan Mu's face froze.
Sure enough, making friends is not that easy.
1 point of favorability is basically the same as having or not having it, it is roughly equivalent to a stranger whom you have met once and have some impression of.
And if we really want to say it, Konghe is the employer, and Duan Mu is the one who gets paid to do things. As the head of a noble family, Konghe can come and chat with Duan Mu, which can be said to be a great honor.
However, Duan Mu was not discouraged. Instead, he looked at Yanjiu beside him and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"???" Rock Vulture.
"When you don't have any entrustment, how about I be your little brother? It's free of charge!" Duan Mu said seriously.
Although Duan Mu’s policy is to sincerely make friends with people, he still needs an opportunity, and the other party is a powerful and noble person like Shiba Kukaku. Duan Mu is a small Rukongai resident. Why should he follow him?
Do you make friends?
In the past, Duan Mu's selection of partners relied on opportunities. In short, when the other person was in need, he took the initiative to help the other person. After getting to know him, he would increase his favorability through constant contact.
Therefore, he has never deliberately approached anyone, he only met and made friends by chance.
Now if you want to take the initiative to make friends, naturally you can't rely on this method.
And even if the Shiba family has declined, it still has a rich heritage. There is no shortage of money, no shortage of manpower, and Shiba Kūkaku himself is also terrifyingly strong. It is almost impossible to find opportunities to increase favorability by helping Kūkaku.
.
In this way, there is only one way before Duan Mu, which is to establish a good relationship with Yanjiu first, and try to gain a sense of presence in front of Konghe.
Normally, even neighbors who meet often will become familiar with each other unconsciously. If the sense of presence is high enough, it can increase a few points of favorability.
"real?"
Although he was confused as to why Duan Mu suddenly became more enthusiastic, when he heard that Duan Mu could be his little brother for free, he decisively put this doubt behind his mind, patted his chest and said:
"This choice is definitely the wisest one you have ever made in your life. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just mention my name as 'Shiba Iwajiu' and I will guarantee that I will help you solve all troubles!"
