Chapter 4: Preparations of Little Use

"By the way, Su Nian, when exactly did you arrive in Little Garden?"

Black Rabbit stared at Su Nian curiously as she asked; after a brief moment of sadness, Black Rabbit had once again pulled herself together.

After all, there were still so many children in No Name that needed to be raised, and she was now the only adult in No Name.

She had to take responsibility; with such a heavy burden on her shoulders, there was absolutely no time for sadness or tears.

However, she was also a bit curious about Su Nian—when did Shiroyasha take on a new Retainer?

Didn't Shiroyasha only have one Subordinate God, Shuishen? And that Shuishen was still cultivating at the edge of the world.

"Probably about ten minutes ago."

Su Nian estimated the time and said; to be precise, ten minutes ago, he was still in the world he had been living in before.

In fact, this was not Su Nian's first time traveling; his ability as a Planeswalker only awakened after he died and traveled to an ordinary, mundane world.

That world was truly very ordinary, so ordinary that Su Nian did not discover anything abnormal.

It was definitely not some mundane anime-crossover world, just a normal world without magic; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Little Garden for his first trip with nothing at all.

Hmm... though it wouldn't be accurate to say he hadn't prepared anything?

He had prepared quite a few things.

The supplies he prepared were enough to fill a large warehouse, and the weapons he carried were stolen directly from a U. S. military base's armory.

But everything always comes with a "but," doesn't it? Who told him to arrive in this Little Garden where gods and demons walk everywhere?

What use were those preparations? If he took them out to sell, they wouldn't fetch any price at all.

Even his largest-caliber weapons might not necessarily be able to deal with a Seven-digit Beastkin.

After all, even someone capable of blowing up a small hill with a single strike is only Seven-digit.

Not to mention, he had already latched onto a powerful backer and become a Five-digit Divinity holder—he had become a god.

"Alright then."

Black Rabbit finally understood what "just arrived in Little Garden" meant; this really was just arriving.

She guessed he didn't even know what Little Garden was before Shiroyasha threw him over here to look after them.

For a moment, Black Rabbit had a strong urge to complain; wasn't Shiroyasha being a bit too unreliable?

Who takes someone in as a Subordinate God and then doesn't even tell them the basic common knowledge?

"But since that's the case, shall I introduce Little Garden to you?"

Black Rabbit sighed, pulled herself together, adopted the posture of a teacher, and began to explain Little Garden to Su Nian.

Su Nian was, of course, listening very seriously; although his level of understanding of Little Garden was not low, that was only because he had watched the anime and read related fan fiction, so the credibility was hard to say.

Besides, after traveling, if one truly believed in the so-called "original work," that would be truly courting death.

Character settings can be used for reference, but anyone who takes the plot seriously is a true fool.

Following Black Rabbit's explanation and introduction, Su Nian also understood what Little Garden was, and that the main theme within Little Garden was the various Gift Games.

Generally speaking, a Gift Game is a game where everything is wagered under the witness of Little Garden Central; the winner can obtain everything, and the loser will naturally lose everything.

This includes power, and one could even end up becoming someone else's Slave.

There are also Demon Kings who can forcibly initiate Gift Games by relying on Host Authority; No Name became like this because they encountered a Demon King.

Black Rabbit also took the opportunity to warn Su Nian not to think about challenging any Demon Kings.

Su Nian had only just obtained his Divinity and hadn't even familiarized himself with his own power; how could he compare to those Demon Kings?

Demon Kings are all terrifying existences of Five-digit or higher.

It was just that watching Black Rabbit, a Four-digit Born God and Buddha, very seriously warning Su Nian not to try challenging a Five-digit Demon King...

This scene looked bizarre no matter how one viewed it.

Of course, Su Nian still kept this point well in mind; how could he be so overestimating his own abilities as to challenge a Demon King?

"But tell me, Mr. Su Nian, what is your Gift?"

A Gift is the foundation upon which ordinary people rely to survive in Little Garden; it is the ability bestowed upon them by the Gods and Buddhas of heaven, or Artifacts that allow others to possess abilities that transcend the ordinary.

"A Spark that can cross worlds, and Magic Cards that can seal everything."

The Planeswalker Spark and the ability to create Magic Cards; the former granted Su Nian the ability to freely travel between worlds to visit different worlds.

And the latter allowed him to turn his experiences into his own power and craft them into Magic Cards.

As for hiding his abilities? There was absolutely no need; he might have had that thought before.

But after Shiroyasha saw through the essence of his ability at a glance, Su Nian gave up.

It was better to display it openly; it would be easier to get investments that way.

Moreover, as a Planeswalker, what one needs to hide is not the ability to travel between worlds or create Magic Cards, but rather what Magic Cards one has in hand.

"Besides, if I had arrived one day earlier, maybe I would have been your companion, Black Rabbit?"

As he spoke, Su Nian took out a Magic Card containing small snacks and tossed it to Black Rabbit, signaling her to break it open.

A one-time Artifact Card; Su Nian had made many of them when he was preparing supplies.

"Of course, a worse possibility..."

As he spoke, Su Nian didn't continue; both of them understood the content that followed.

"That's true."

Black Rabbit looked at Su Nian and fell into silence again, not knowing what she was thinking.

But the quiet atmosphere didn't last long before a blue-black figure rushed directly into Black Rabbit's arms, hugging her tightly, and even nearly knocking Black Rabbit to the ground.

If it weren't for Su Nian reaching out to steady her just now, reducing the impact.

Accompanying this was a very lecherous, perverted laugh.

"Long time no see, Black Rabbit!"

"Still the familiar touch~~"

Shiroyasha said excitedly while rubbing against Black Rabbit's rabbit ears.

Su Nian, who was on the side, could only cough lightly twice to remind Shiroyasha to mind her image!

Her dignity as a boss is about to be completely lost, you know!

It was just that Shiroyasha acted as if she hadn't heard anything at all, continuing to press tightly against Black Rabbit, breathing in Black Rabbit's scent.

Should one say that this is exactly what one would expect from Shiroyasha?

"As expected, Black Rabbit still feels the best."

"Black Rabbit, I need comfort from Black Rabbit-chan~~~"

Black Rabbit, who was being vigorously molested by Shiroyasha, also quickly sobered up, looking at Shiroyasha who had appeared suddenly without her knowing when.

"Lord Shiroyasha? When did you come over?"

Black Rabbit was also somewhat surprised, but feeling Shiroyasha's increasingly excessive actions.

Black Rabbit could not take it anymore!

She directly grabbed Shiroyasha's head and forcefully threw her in the direction of Su Nian.

"Go find your own Subordinate God! Get off of me!"
