Chapter 214

There were many ways to grow stronger, and the cultivation systems Li An now mastered were simply too numerous to count.

However, in the end he still chose the DanMachi system, taking in the two little girls as his Familiars and granting them Blessings.

After that, whenever Sanshō Kurika went out daily to practice swordsmanship, she brought Anjū Kurona and Anjū Naruka along as well.

Li An also created an S-rank Quinque weapon for Kurona and Naruka, styled as a tachi as well.

After finishing all this, Li An planned to temporarily leave the Tokyo Ghoul World.

After all, there were still over ten years until the plot began, and he had already laid a solid foundation for Sanshō Kurika — what came next would depend on her own development.

As for the other characters from the original work, Li An felt it was still too early to make contact with them now.

If he wanted to win them over, there was plenty of time.

Of course, he wouldn't directly step in to help Sanshō Kurika wipe out the Washuu family.

The Tokyo Ghoul World was like a game world in his eyes — he could pass through it anytime, but how to clear it so that it would be the most interesting?

What Li An thought of was gathering the tragic characters from the original work together, to see if they could stand against the Washuu family.

With Sanshō Kurika having the help of Anjū Nanachigo's Sphinx Company, there was no need to worry about finances.

It all depended on whether she could successfully plant the seeds he had left behind, and let them take root and sprout!

Three months later, Li An signed in again for 100 days, accumulating 100 Wooden Chests.

After synthesizing them into Bronze Chests, he had seven Bronze Chests.

After Li An finished synthesizing the chests, he bid farewell to the four women — Sanshō Kurika, Hu Tao, Anjū Kurona, and Anjū Naruka.

He didn't say he was leaving this world, only that he was going abroad for a while.

After resting for a night, the next day he summoned the Zhaohuanxing Sect gate and departed.

Main world.

Chiba City, Sakura High-end Residence.

After Li An returned, he found the house still empty — clearly the women had gone back to their hometowns and hadn't returned yet.

After asking Li Ying, he learned that four days had already passed in this world since he left.

Because when heading to the Crimson World and the Tokyo Ghoul World, Li An had adjusted the time ratio.

He had stayed in those two worlds for over a year, which amounted to exactly four days here.

Having traveled and cultivated in other worlds for over a year, Li An planned to rest at home for a few days.

He told Li An to make him something to eat, while he himself went to the second-floor bedroom's sun-facing area, sat down on the rattan hanging chair, basking in the sun while reading a novel.

However, just then, he noticed that in the neighboring villa — Villa No. 5 — his three male shikigami were also sitting on the balcony over there.

But they weren't reading novels; they were sitting there spacing out.

Clearly, the other shikigami had always lived with Li An in one big villa.

But those three lived alone in a separate villa, and Li An never went over either — he had nearly forgotten about them.

Li An sighed; he truly didn't want male shikigami.

But just leaving them isolated like this had a bit of a cold-violence tendency to it.

"System, can I exchange shikigami?"

【......】

"Stop playing dead, tell me quickly!"

【Ding, the Host can consume one Bronze Chest to exchange for three shikigami replacement opportunities!】

"Tsk tsk, you had this function and didn't say so earlier?"

【......】

"Alright, alright, consume one Bronze Chest and exchange for replacement opportunities for me!"

【Ding, exchange successful, congratulations to the Host on obtaining: Shikigami Replacement ×3!】

"Exchange Douman, Kijin Shiro, and Kijin Kuro for Long Yu, Aoandon, and Shiranui!"

【Ding, replacement failed, you can only exchange shikigami of the same rank. Douman is R, Kijin Shiro is SR, Kijin Kuro is SR — the Host can only exchange one R-rank shikigami and two SR-rank shikigami!】

"Holy crap, my Skill Integration Authority — Douman, Kijin Shiro, and Kijin Kuro evolved long ago, and now they all have divine-level strength, no lower than SP-rank! Trading them for three SSR would already be a bargain for you, let alone that I also consumed a Bronze Chest!"

Li An was very angry — why did he feel like this system of his was getting more and more like a profiteer!
