"No! This can't be done!"

Zhang Ye hurriedly stopped me.

"Do you... Do you want to kill them all? Please, you don't have to do something like this for a small shop like mine!"

"Is that so? But if I don't, they will continue to harass this entire street."

"But killing is not right! Even if they are bad people..."

"..."

I stared at him for a while, then sighed helplessly.

"Alright, alright. Since you put it that way, I'll let it go. But only if they don't provoke me. If they do, then I'll have to resort to 'self-defense.'"

I stepped out of the door and looked at the condition of the entire street.

I hadn't paid much attention before, only noticing the style of the buildings. But upon closer inspection, I realized that there were no people walking around the entire street.

Some shop entrances had already posted notices of relocation, while others, like Zhang Ye's shop, were still holding on.

"This can't go on. If you end up making a complete loss, you won't be able to keep the shop open. Oh, right, here's some money for you."

With that, I tossed him a silver coin with all the markings completely worn off.

After catching it, he stared at it, wiped his eyes, and looked at it again.

"This... The customer, the money you gave..."

"It's fine, keep it. It's not a lot of money."

"Thank you so much! Otherwise, I wouldn't even have money to buy dumpling filling... sniff..."

After saying that, he actually started crying.

Tears burst out, and he kept wiping them with his clothes.

Gosh, don’t you have any tissues or napkins or sanitary pads?

"Hey, hey, why are you crying like that? It seems like I have no choice but to help you. I might as well turn that Black Wolf Gang into ice sculptures all at once."

"No!"

He abruptly stopped crying.

"Killing is not right! Even if we're in a difficult situation, we can't cross the line of being human."

"You're being very serious at this moment. Geez, doesn't that make it more difficult? It suddenly went from easy to normal."

I thought for a moment.

"How about giving each of your shops a gold coin? And then you can deal with them slowly?"

"No! Absolutely not! We won't accept money from others casually!"

"This is not allowed, that is not allowed. And there isn't even a mission prompt. This is hard difficulty, isn't it?"

I thought for a moment, then clapped my hands.

"Let's go! Pure White!"

I suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Pure White, who had been watching the steaming basket beside her, ran over when she heard me call her.

"I've decided to go and smash their place."

"What?"

Seeing Pure White and Zhang Ye's puzzled expressions, I shook my head.

"Anyway, I want to go to their headquarters and take a look."

------------------------Map loading, plot loading------------------------------

Although it's said that we're going to their headquarters... It's actually just a half-minute walk to the right when we leave.

Unlike the street full of ordinary houses and shops, the Black Wolf Gang's headquarters turned out to be a three-story wooden building.

It must burn really well... No, I'm here to negotiate... No, to negotiate.

Only me and Pure White came, and I didn't want Zhang Ye to get involved. Although I'm good at fighting, I'm not good at protecting others. It would be bad if something went wrong.

However... I don't know what to say when I see those two Level 6 lackeys at the door.

But then again, thinking about it, the fact that the king of a kingdom I ransacked only has a level of 15 is already good enough.

"Is this the Black Wolf Gang?"

"Huh? This is Black Wolf Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.! Who are you?"

The receptionist needs to improve their etiquette. How can they welcome guests like this?

But when I heard him say "Co., Ltd.", I quietly opened my terminal.

Strange... There are clearly no people from another world nearby, but the name of this company seems to be something only our world would have.

...

Ma Yi Ka~

"I see, then I'll trouble the two of you to open the door."

"You think you..."

Before they could finish, I directly used the low-level wind magic spell "Air Pressure" to send them flying, and they crashed into the door, knocking it open!

"Thanks for opening the door for me. Let's go, Chun Bai."

"Yes, master."

As we walked in, I saw a group of people wearing suits-like attire looking at me.

Upon closer inspection, they were all warriors, thieves, and occupations ranging from level 7 to 20.

They looked at the people on the ground, then looked at us.

"Boss! It's them! It's them who stopped us from collecting protection fees."

One of them suddenly stepped forward and pointed at us, it was the person from Zhang Ye's shop earlier.

But now, they had taken off their helmet, and I couldn't tell who was who anymore.

Names?

Are you kidding? Would you play a game and remember the names of all the NPCs? That would be exhausting!

And in the next second, everyone in the room drew their weapons and pointed them at me. I just waved my hand, and numerous ice magic circles appeared around me, with ninety-nine ice arrows pointing in all directions towards everyone.

The guy who called out earlier immediately shrank back when he saw the ice arrows, it seems that the ice arrow piercing his thigh made a deep impression on him.

"An Onmyoji who can use Arcane and control Shikigami. Impressive. May I ask how to address you?"

A man wearing black armor stood out from the crowd, and on his shoulder armor, there was a wolf.

Xiao Zhe

Heavenly Sword Master LV28

Neutral, Wise, Independent, Merchant, Black Gang Leader, Black Wolf Gang Leader, Murderer

"Heavenly Sword Master? I've encountered an occupation with such a distinct Chinese style."

"Oh, so you can tell my occupation even though I haven't carried a sword."

"But a gang leader who is a merchant and also a Heavenly Sword Master, the combination of these occupations is quite interesting."

"I agree with that, but as a merchant, that's just something others pointed out, I'm just a warrior."

"Alright, can we stop talking so fancily? I just want to ask you, why do you have to modernize this street? Don't you know that retro is also marketable?"

"..."

The other person paused for a moment, then suddenly rushed down from above with a swoosh.

Chun Bai immediately stood in front of me, but I patted her and pulled her to the side.

"Don't worry, this person doesn't intend to attack me."

Because just now, this person's name was clearly yellow, but in the instant after I finished speaking, it turned green!

This means... the other party has voluntarily become friends... Why?! Hey!

"Although I was sent down from above to turn this street into a commercial avenue, I have no idea what to do, so I just followed the example given by higher-ups. But it seems like there is a serious problem now, so if you know what to do, please give me some advice. I would be extremely grateful!"

The other party finished this string of words in one breath, and it took me a long time to digest it before reacting.

"I see..."

I nodded.

"That's not a problem. I've played plenty of simulation games before."
