In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

But then again, he didn't know when he would be able to come back, and he couldn't expect others to do nothing and just wait here for him to return all the time.

However, before leaving home, Xia Yan would usually put a note with a message on the table in the living room, and then put a mobile phone on it.

Hikigaya was flipping through the note at this time. There was nothing said on it, but it just asked Hikigaya to call him with this phone when he came back and if he was not at home.

"Beep~beep~" Hikigaya did as he was told without any surprise.

"Hey, you're back safely. How's everything?"

Soon, Hikigaya heard Xia Yan's slightly surprised voice from the phone.

Hearing this question, Hikigaya glanced at his right hand, which had grown an eye in a new position, and couldn't help but reveal a speechless expression. He could only utter four words with difficulty: "It's hard to explain."

Although he wasn't too upset about his right arm becoming like this, he definitely couldn't let Komachi see it. As for Xia, he could go talk to him when he had time.

"That's right. Now that we're all back safely, you're probably anxious to see your sister and replenish Komachi's energy. So, we can talk about the mission when we have time."

Xia Yan, who was sitting across from him, seemed to sense from his tone that he was fine, so she chatted more relaxedly. "By the way, Xueno and I received a real-life mission from that place a while ago. We were a little hesitant about whether to go there over the weekend. Now that you're back safely, are you interested in checking it out with us?"

“The location is Yamagata Prefecture.”

"...I won't be sucking up any Komachi energy, but forget it."

Hikigaya hesitated for a moment, then loosely clenched his right hand. He still needed to adapt to how to cooperate with this guy in the battle.

And although Uncle Kuroki seemed to dislike him, he still told Hikigaya in the end. He is now in the Sea of ​​​​Gokugigahara Trees...

Hikigaya's current plan is to go back and rest with Komachi for a day or two, and then head to the Gokugahara Forest to see if he can get some last-minute help and undergo some "intensive special training" in the Kaigan Style with Uncle Kuroki.

So he has actually been quite busy in recent days, and can only regretfully give up this extra gain that may or may not come true.

Of course, that's what he thought, but Hikigaya didn't give that reason. He just said to the other end of the phone in a teasing tone, "Forget it, forget it. I won't be a light bulb and disturb your world of two with Minister Yukinoshita."

"Although it's not a two-person world, I'll hang up first."

Xia Yan rolled his eyes upon hearing this, and imitated Hikigaya's tone and said, "When you leave, just help me close the door."

"Ah."

On the other side, Fengzhiqi Academy.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yan didn't show the same rich emotions of surprise and relaxation that he had shown on the phone.

Unlike the Jukijisha x Tokyo Ghoul battle that ended long ago, Parasyte was directly defeated by the invincible magic spear after a copy.

The corresponding reward prompt popped up on Xia Yan's panel long before Hikigaya came out from the main god.

[World Coordinates: Parasyte]

[Stage 1: Higashifukuyama City Hall (game complete)!]

You can choose two rewards from the following options:

1. Expansion of personal space

2. Scenario Card: Parasyte's Lair – Higashifukuyama City Hall (Blue)

3. New Parasyte Transformation Technology (Blue to Purple / Can be loaded into [Scene Card: Higashifukuyama City Hall (Blue)])

4. Killing Fragment: The Strongest Parasyte Goto (Purple)

5. Two random parasitic beast-related [Food Elements (White)]

……

There was nothing to hesitate about, Xia Yan directly clicked on options 1 and 2.

Among them, option 3 seems to need to be combined with the scene card in option 2 to be effective. It is not known whether it will be useful if obtained alone.

Not to mention the last two options, consumables like fragments can always be obtained slowly through other means.

But apart from the lucky self-synthesis, he seemed to have only seen personal space and scene cards in the dungeon strategy rewards.

So it goes without saying which two rewards to choose.

Chapter 105 The Journey to Find the Snow Girl with Yukinoshita Yukino: The Beginning

In fact, Xia Yan was checking in at Fengzhiqi as usual at this time. He just came out in the middle to answer the phone.

So Xia Yan called Xue Noi and told her about Hikigaya's situation. After agreeing with her on the time and place for departure and meeting up tomorrow, he went back to have lunch with Kato Megumi...

He didn't think there was anything wrong with him at all, and said goodbye to Hui.

It was only then that he began to sort out his harvest.

First, personal space.

What was more surprising to him was that the expansion of the personal space awarded this time was not simply an increase in area, but rather the formation of three independent spaces of similar size.

Seeing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but named the space where the main god was as No. 1 with a little surprise, and then moved the [Gecko's Torture Field] that had been hidden in the darkness and had little presence, as well as his own equipment and supplies, etc., all to Space No. 2.

It turned out that he was planning to use this space as a storage space.

He also set up this space to look like a scene with a large number of shelves. Now all kinds of equipment and props that he doesn't need are placed on it according to categories, which makes even people with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel extremely comfortable when seeing it.

He then set up an automatic program on the friend's side: when a friend wants to exchange through the Lord God's Light Ball (send a fixed message to him) → the friend's side automatically replies → that is, the corresponding items on the shelves that he has numbered are sent to the friend → the friend gets the exchange item.

Fully automatic exchange mode, start!

Immediately after the personal space is the scene card he newly obtained. The buildings in this scene can be placed in the main god space.

[Scene Card: Higashifukuyama City Hall (Blue)]

Effect 3: Parasitic Beast Lair: Generates 7- Parasitic Beast Killing Fragments (White) per week.

[Effect 2: "Tamiya Yoshiko's Laboratory": By consuming Parasyte fragments, you can strengthen the basic strength of the Parasyte and study the unique skills and transformation techniques of the Parasyte!

Basic Function: Parasyte Enhancement: Taking the basic strength of the parasyte (blue) +3 as an example, it can be enhanced to (blue) +7 at most. Each enhancement can effectively increase the number and activity of the parasyte's cells, the toughness of the tentacles, the hardness of the cell hardening, and slightly improve the thinking ability of the parasyte itself.

The current enhancement requirement (+1) = 1 blue fragment of Parasyte/3 white fragments.

Research Technology 1: Parasyte Separation (Developer: Yoshiko Tamiya): This allows a Parasyte to learn the technique of splitting a single Parasyte into two clones with a shared mind while maintaining a certain level of intelligence.

(Note: As the level of the parasitic beast increases, more clones can be created. The upper limit is unknown.)

Learning requirements: 3 white fragments.

Research Technology 2: Five-Body/Multi-Body Parasitic Beast Transformation Technology (Developer: Tamiya Yoshiko): A special transformation operation that can transform a parasitic beast into a single individual serving as the commander, perfectly commanding multiple parasitic beasts within the same body.

Learning requirements: 5 blue fragments.

Note: You can also continue to develop various transformation technologies for parasitic beasts by assigning "biological researchers" to work in the scene.

Researchers working in the scene can gain basic buffs such as "inspiration improvement", "accelerated research results", "increased success rate of R&D technology", and "fragments can be transformed into research subjects".

Xia Yan carefully considered the properties of this scene card. First of all, the first effect was similar to that of a certain gecko, but when it came to the second effect, the number of words alone was not comparable to that of a certain gecko.

In addition to strengthening the foundation of the parasitic beast, there are also means to continue researching and improving it, and the functional scalability is also quite good.

It’s a pity that all these functions are unique functions that are specially enhanced for parasitic beasts.

Apart from the fact that Hikigaya now has a short-term fixed reinforcement route, which is relatively useful, as for his other functions, we can only wait and see how many people will take the route of sacrificing themselves as "Xiaoyou" in the future.

As for biological researchers, although I can't think of anyone who meets the requirements right now, I can definitely keep an eye on them...

Xia Yan thought to himself as he casually threw the card in his hand into the main god space of No. 1.

After that, when Hikigaya enters the main god space again, he can see the building in this scene, and then go in and pay money to strengthen his own parasitic beast.

In the short term, Xia Yan didn't have anything important to do, so he was just waiting for his travel date with Yukino tomorrow... cough.

Anyway, tomorrow's target: Yamagata Prefecture!

……

……

"Huh~huh~"

At the same time, the Tokyo Ghoul World ended early, and Xia Yan never went there again, nor could he pay attention to it anymore.

Sister Quan, who was quite familiar with Xia Yan and almost destroyed the ghoul prison, Quekuliya, now turned back into the malicious and cute appearance of the bandaged little girl and sat on the railing of the rooftop of a high-rise building.

Immediately, she swung her slender, bandaged legs, grasped the railings on both sides with her hands, leaned back, and looked at the starry sky. She hummed a little tune, as if talking to herself, or as if asking a few new-looking companions behind her who had escaped from Queculia:

"Kamishiro Rize, Kamishiro Chaei, what's going on with those two 'father and daughter'~"

……

……

The next day, morning.

From Tokyo to Yamagata Prefecture, it is more convenient and affordable to take the Yamagata Shinkansen, which only takes about 3 hours.

This time, Xia Yan and Yukinoshita Yukino are planning to take advantage of the weekend to explore and search for two days on their trip to Yamagata Prefecture to find the snow girl. If they still can't find her after that, then forget it, there's no need to force it.

So the two of them were now sitting in the speeding Shinkansen, feeling quite like they were traveling. They had prepared their spare clothes and luggage, and were holding their cell phones or travel brochures. Occasionally, they would call out to each other to go see the scenery outside - mainly because Xia Yan called out more often.

Yamagata Prefecture is an urban area located in the northern part of Japan's Honshu Island. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with low temperatures in winter and frequent snowfall. There are more than 100 hot springs in the area, and it is known as a paradise for hot spring lovers. However, the traffic conditions are... uh.

Xia Yan was searching for Yamagata Prefecture in the valley. He didn't know what others saw, but he saw four words: "snow and hot springs."

Forget it.

Then Xia Yan put away his phone. As for the situation at the travel destination, it would be better to rely on the local person next to him to lead the way - regardless of whether Yukino, the Chiba native who transferred from abroad to study in Tokyo, was a local or not.

Anyway, no matter how unfamiliar she was with Yamagata Prefecture, she was still more familiar with the local area than Xia Yan, who was from another country or even another world.

"Genbei Minshuku Inn. Once we reach our destination, we'll stay at the place mentioned in this mission."

Unfortunately, a certain young lady, as white as snow, clearly had no awareness of the high expectations placed on her by a stranger in a place she was not familiar with. Like a cold and heartless parent on a family trip who only wanted to visit all the tourist attractions, she opened her red lips and exhaled a breath of cold air before arranging the itinerary in a cold voice:

"Our only clue right now is the TV series 'Snow Woman's Love'. I've watched it in detail and looked up its main actors. They are... Let's be serious, don't be weird!"

Xueno's words were very serious, but it was a pity that Xia Yan didn't listen at all.

Because when Xia Yan looked at her icy expression that was even colder in the winter frost, yet with a hint of redness on her beautiful cheeks, he subconsciously wanted to reach out and pinch her - but then his hand was slapped away with a look of disgust.

Chapter 106 Mao Lilan: Your girlfriend's hair grows quite fast

Taking the Yamagata Shinkansen, you can only reach Shinjo City in Yamagata Prefecture.

After that, Xia Yan and the others had to change buses and taxis to gradually reach their destination, which was almost deep in the mountains and forests.

The Genbei Hot Spring Hotel, their destination, was actually just an unknown B&B.

The hotel itself is just a spacious single-story wooden house. In winter, you can see a layer of white snow covering the extended eaves. Coupled with the curling smoke, natural hot springs and a nearby ski resort, the hotel has a farm tourism flavor, and the number of guests is also quite acceptable.

Yukinoshita Yukino was flipping through the small notebook in her hand. She had already made an itinerary and arrived at her destination very smoothly. The hotel was right in front of her.

The only thing she didn't expect was...

Yukino suddenly turned her head to look at her companion beside her. At this time, fine snow like catkins was falling from the sky, falling on her clothes and the tip of her nose, and in an instant it turned into tiny water droplets.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with snow itself. After all, it has just started snowing and has not accumulated to the extent of hindering road traffic.

The only problem now was that the companion beside her had unknowingly stopped walking towards the hotel, looked up at the snowflakes gradually falling from the sky, and stretched out his hand to quietly catch the falling snowflakes.

"Is this the first time you see snow?" Xueno pulled the cashmere scarf around her neck, and looking at his expression, she couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.

"Yeah, I've wanted to go see it for a long time."

Xia Yan opened his palms to catch the snowflakes, and rarely showed a genuine and happy smile. He looked at Yukinoshita Yukino beside him, and said with a bit of emotion and a bit of joy: "Yukino, it's great that I can come with you this time."

"Hmm~"

Yukino couldn't help but pull her scarf up to cover her slightly red cheeks, but she thought she had discovered this guy's true purpose: "So you want to take a picture?"

"Uh……"

This time, Xia Yan couldn't be fooled. He raised his right hand, which was originally catching snowflakes, and scratched his face. "Although I'm not talking about this, but...well, of course you have to take pictures to commemorate your trip."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything else, but just silently turned on the time-lapse camera on her phone, as if to say, "I'm in a good mood this time, so I'll just cooperate with you a little."

Then the two of them took two photos together. One was with the coniferous forest gradually covered with some silver frost, and the beautiful snow-covered scene as the background. The other was with a B&B in the snow with a leisurely and peaceful feeling as the background.

Xia Yan felt that the backgrounds of the two photos were impeccable, and Xue Noi beside him also wore an exquisite dark blue scarf with hexagonal snowflake patterns because of the arrival of winter, which undoubtedly looked very appropriate for the occasion.

Add to that the black coat she wore, the faintly visible linings, and the black tights on her slender legs. Not only did she not look bloated, but she also had a kind of beauty like a snow elf. However...
