Chapter 4 Lack of Money

Demon Slayer, also known as After the Medical Dispute, I Became a Business Boss.

The entire story revolves around an ancient person named Kibutsuji Muzan. At that time, Muzan was weak and sickly and sought medical treatment everywhere. He eventually found a famous doctor, but after drinking a half-prepared medicine, he suffered from side effects and thought his condition had worsened, so he drew his sword and killed the doctor.

The truth is that the doctor was indeed amazing. The medicine he made turned Muzan into a creature who could control his own flesh and blood at will. The price was that he could not be exposed to the sun and had to eat humans. It is a typical Japanese "ghost" that combines Western vampires with Eastern zombies.

The doctor's original idea was to cure Muzan by turning into a demon and then turning back into a human. However, when Muzan struck him, the doctor, who was the only one who knew the location of the medicine "Blue Spider Lily," passed away. From then on, Muzan embarked on the journey to find the medicine.

Of course, this is the story of the antagonist. The story of the protagonist is a charcoal-selling boy a thousand years later who embarks on a path of exterminating demons after his family is eaten. It is a classic, shonen (shonen) story.

Throughout the entire Demon Slayer story, there are many items with supernatural elements, and these are all within the scope of the [Collaboration Gacha].

On a lower level, there's "Gorilla Scarlet Iron," which can store solar energy. Although Chu Wuji sees this mineral as nothing more than an "energy storage metal," he can simply order it online using his brain-computer interface and have it delivered the same afternoon.

But the more advanced ones are quite outrageous—"Muzan Kibutsuji's Demon Blood," which, while turning people into man-eating, light-fearing demons, also grants them terrifying physical enhancements.

That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the infinite lifespan and the superpower "Blood Demon Art" that some powerful demons possess.

In the original work, Nakime's "Infinite Castle," which allows her to open up different dimensions and freely pull people in without much consumption, is like Kenji Uchiha's "Infinite Castle." In reality, it would be an S-rank ability.

On an even higher level, it's like a doctor's "medicine," directly transforming one into the progenitor of demons. Without Muzan's authority suppressing it, its potential is limitless.

These benefits were all irresistible to Chu Wuji.

Unfortunately... I have no money!

Chu Wuji opened the panel and stared blankly at the 950 points.

The exchange rate between in-game currency and real-world currency is 100 RMB to 1 in-game currency, which is outrageously expensive.

Each draw from the system's pool costs 160 points, and you can only get one blue item in ten draws. Whether it's ghost blood or medicine, anything related to "immortality" or "superpowers" is definitely not of blue quality.

Assuming it's an orange-tier item, the guaranteed reward after 80 draws is 12800 points, which is equivalent to 128 million yuan.

"128 million..."

Chu Wuji shifted his gaze from the system panel to the figure next to the counter who was comfortably slacking off.

The girl had just finished making a milkshake and was now swinging her legs listlessly, her misty eyes seemingly gazing somewhere.

Chu Wuji activated his brain-computer interface and rapidly tapped his fingers on the virtual screen.

Since the shop and the house he currently lives in were left by his parents, Chu Wuji does not need to pay rent.

The convenience store's daily profits mostly come from the middle school students nearby. The monthly net profit is quite substantial, around 7 yuan, and sometimes even 8 yuan.

After deducting the major expenses—the younger sister's tuition, the siblings' food and pocket money, utilities, property management fees, etc.—oh, now there's one more person whose salary needs to be paid.

If you can save 2 to 3 yuan a month, life will be full of hope. You can save 128 million yuan in 4 years.

The problem is that the collaboration only lasts for 21 days, and with the remaining time for this version, there are only 24 days.

The price of immortality is so small that even a certain long-haired lover would be laughing in his sleep if he put it next door to the place where people play with insects and cultivate immortality. Naturally, Chu Wuji didn't want to miss it.

He originally had a considerable amount of savings, but since his younger sister graduated from high school, he has used it all to buy super-power awakening potions. Now he only has about 20 yuan left in his online bank account, which is barely enough to cover his expenses.

"I need to find a way to make some quick money."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Wuji directly opened the brain-computer interface and searched for "energy storage metal".

The metal grading system in this world is quite simple and clear: it starts with the best grade, S, and goes down from there.

Based on the characteristics of the Nichirin Blade in Demon Slayer, Chu Wuji successfully found a similar metal, "Low-grade Chlorophyll Alloy (E)", which can absorb and store solar energy, release it gently, release it in small amounts at a time, and has high plasticity and hardness.

"The price is... only 3 per kilogram!" Chu Wuji laughed in exasperation.

Yes, in this era, this metal is already in mass production in factories, so its price has naturally been driven down.

Also knocked down was Chu Wuji's desire to win a lottery and exchange it for money.

"We need to change our approach. If a ten-pull guarantees a blue item, let me see... maybe we can make some Shinobu Kocho potions. We could sell those for a good price at Grandma Zhang's place."

While Chu Wuji was still figuring out how to make money, people were already starting to enter the shop.

It was already 7:30 in the morning. Unlike Chu Wuji's previous life, middle school students in this world didn't have to get up early, so people were starting to get up and go to school at this time.

However, the burlap sacks used for school uniforms are still strangely traditional.

Middle school students yawned and poured into the convenience store in twos and threes. Their purplish-gray school uniforms were loose and baggy, like moving sacks, but they exuded a unique youthful vibe.

While the boys were choosing breakfast, their eyes would involuntarily drift toward Gu Zixin, who, even in a shop assistant's uniform, couldn't hide her stunning beauty and aloof demeanor, standing behind the cashier.

Then, an unnatural blush would rise on their cheeks.

"Boss, how much is the oden?"

"Huh? Oh, this, let me see..."

Gu Zixin was taken aback by the question and hurriedly flipped through the price list, clearly not very familiar with the business.

Chu Wuji couldn't slack off any longer, so he got up from the stool and started helping and teaching at the same time.

The black-haired milk dragon spoke in a soft, deliberate manner, but was actually quite intelligent. Before long, he had completely adapted to his role as a shop assistant and was becoming increasingly adept at using the various machines.

Just then, the convenience store door opened.

"Brother! Two meat buns and a cup of soy milk, I'm in a hurry!"

A clear and energetic female voice pierced through the noise in the store.

Chu Wuji turned his head and saw that what had arrived before the newcomer was a small plastic bamboo dragonfly.

With a flick of his wrist, he caught the bamboo dragonfly steadily and moved it away from his eyes, revealing a whirlwind golden figure in his vision.

Her high ponytail, with its brilliant golden hair, swung behind her head in a dazzling arc as she ran, resembling a wagging golden tail.

The newcomer was dressed in a blue and black police uniform, which accentuated her tall and upright figure, making her look heroic and dashing.

"It's Xiaotong."

Chu Wuji's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, revealing a gentle smile.

"Why didn't you bring breakfast for Shanshan today?"

"She went to talk business with her uncle, and they ate at Longji Ramen, it's really high-class!"

Chu Tong rushed forward, snatched the bamboo dragonfly from Chu Wuji's hand, and waved it triumphantly.

"Look, hasn't this thing been around for a long time...?"

Her words came to an abrupt halt.

Chu Tong's gaze finally caught another figure behind the counter.

She saw Gu Zixin.

My gaze lingered for a second on that aloof and stunningly beautiful face, then slowly and uncontrollably drifted downwards, finally settling on a breathtaking curve.

The air fell silent instantly.

"Tsk."

Chu Tong clicked her tongue almost imperceptibly.
