Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 - Is a points-based membership system a good idea!?

He knew what the Three Types of Haki were.

After opening the explanation for [Special ARM] Mirror of Illusion, Mizusaki Yuma also understood what it was.

[Special ARM] Mirror of Illusion: From the world of MÄR, it traps enemies in a two-dimensional mirror. If they fail to escape the mirror by forcefully pushing out within a certain time, they will shatter along with the mirror.

Not bad!

He just didn't know how it would perform in actual combat.

However, with more items, he naturally had more things to trade.

Even if he didn't use this himself, keeping it in the Yorozuya to copy and sell would be quite good.

At least the effect sounded quite impressive when explained.

"Shopkeeper... Shopkeeper..."

"Ah! My apologies, I was just spacing out!"

He had been thinking about the [Special ARM] Mirror of Illusion earlier, so he hadn't heard anyone enter the shop.

Looking up at the person in front of him, a sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in his heart.

"You are?"

"Most people call me Lin Jiu."

"Uncle Jiu?"

Mizusaki Yuma asked uncertainly.

This appearance, coupled with this name—wasn't this the famous demon-exorcising Taoist priest?

"It's like this, may I ask, Shopkeeper, if you have a way to deal with zombies here?"

When Lin Jiu was at the Mortuary earlier, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

It said that if he went to the Yorozuya, he could solve whatever was on his mind.

For this, he accepted the invitation, wanting to see. In a blink of an eye, he found himself here from the Mortuary.

Looking at all the unfamiliar surroundings, Lin Jiu felt that everything here was much better than his Mortuary. This decor was even better than what he had seen at Master Ren's Residence.

"Master Ren's father?"

Since he wasn't sure which world Uncle Jiu was from, but based on his jacket and attire, Mizusaki Yuma could only blindly guess it was from "Mr. Vampire."

However, according to the movie, shouldn't Uncle Jiu have already dealt with the zombie?

Could it be the Uncle Jiu from the novel?

In the novel, Uncle Jiu encountered a zombie for the first time, and later, due to some exceptions, he was also bitten by a zombie. The novel ended with a suspenseful cliffhanger, with Uncle Jiu boiling glutinous rice porridge in the kitchen, seemingly about to turn into a zombie himself.

However, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng in the novel were indeed quite disgusting disciples.

"Shopkeeper, you know this?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Uncle Jiu's face.

He hadn't even said why he had come, yet his situation had been directly guessed by this young man in front of him.

Did immortals really exist in this world?

"I know a little. Coming here also means that you definitely have something in your heart that needs help. Just tell me your purpose for coming here!"

Anyone who could come to the Yorozuya would never have absolutely nothing they needed help with in their heart.

Even if many customers didn't complete a transaction, it was only because they didn't want to pay the price.

And Uncle Jiu's visit here was clearly about the zombies.

"Then I'll speak frankly."

After Lin Jiu recounted what had happened in his world, he picked up a cup nearby and silently took a sip of tea.

This time, Renjia Town was facing its biggest crisis.

A Feng Shui Master had teamed up with zombies.

To make matters worse, his two disciples—one was bitten by a zombie, and the other was possessed by a ghost.

Taking these two disciples really brought him eight lifetimes of bad luck.

If it were just the zombies, Qiu Sheng could still help him at a critical moment.

But the Feng Shui Master had also arrived.

"I understand. So, the three of you—master and disciples—can't fight against the Feng Shui Master plus the zombies, right?"

He pretty much understood the situation.

That was a real world, so it was naturally possible that things wouldn't follow the movie's plot.

"That's right, so I wanted to ask, Shopkeeper, if you have any solutions here."

Now, the lives of their master and disciples, and the entire Renjia Town, all depended on this.

If something went wrong, the entire town might not survive.

Currently, the Feng Shui Master had set up formations around the area, and there was also a very fierce zombie outside.

"How about I trade these two Fighter Puppets with you for Maoshan Taoist techniques?"

"This..."

Looking at the puppets in Mizusaki Yuma's hand, a trace of disbelief flashed across Lin Jiu's face.

Was this person's brain not working?

He actually wanted to exchange puppets for Taoist techniques.

One must know that it was now the Age of Dharma Decline; practicing Taoist techniques was no longer mainstream.

However, for those who could truly succeed in cultivation, possessed high talent, and had ill intentions, if Maoshan's Taoist techniques were handed over, it would absolutely be a disaster.

"These are puppets from another world. They have no blood, feel no fear, and can fight endlessly. They can continuously fight and revive within two hours. They will definitely help you deal with zombies, no problem. You just need to focus on confronting the Feng Shui Master!"

Mizusaki Yuma briefly explained the puppets' functions.

What was most terrifying about zombies?

Of course, it was the corpse poison.

These Fighter Puppets, improved by the system, were not afraid of corpse poison at all.

Moreover, they were immortal within two hours.

Entangling a not-yet-very-strong zombie was still very simple.

Then, another one could be used to deal with the Feng Shui Master, or if he felt he could handle it himself, he could keep one for future self-defense.

"But Maoshan's..."

A hint of difficulty flashed across Lin Jiu's face.

Maoshan's secret techniques generally could not be directly passed on to others.

If the sect members found out he had casually given away Taoist techniques...

"Don't worry, this place doesn't exist in your world. I'm just putting them here to sell. Besides, I have many other good things here. I will appraise the Taoist techniques you give me later, and if the value exceeds, I will return member points to you. These points can be spent here!"

Mizusaki Yuma spoke with increasing excitement.

How had he not thought of it?

He should create a membership card and then a points system.

This would be a continuous stream of customers!

Looking at Lin Jiu, who was still a bit conflicted, Mizusaki Yuma could only pull out his trump card and say, "Think about it, the lives of everyone in Renjia Town are hanging on you."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. How much merit would you gain by saving so many people!"

Seeing this, Lin Jiu gritted his teeth, then nodded and said, "Alright! How do we trade?"

Indeed, everyone's lives were now on his shoulders.

He believed that the Patriarch would forgive him.

Besides, this place truly wasn't in his world, so what was he afraid of?
