How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

"Brother, the demon looks even more powerful than those in adult games! There's no exclamation mark above its head, so it's not an NPC... Brother?"

Hirok was looking at Asmodeus with the eyes of an artist.

How should I put it? It's so astringent.

As expected of the world of butter.

Look, the hem of the cheongsam is almost up to the top of her thighs, and her round, firm thighs are so white they practically glow.

The cheongsam, which is considered immoral and scandalous, is practically no different from lingerie. The cheongsam's tightness creates an attractive cleavage that inspires an adventurous spirit to explore its depths.

This kind of outfit would be considered indecent in the real world, but here...

Sirocco silently gave Asmodeus a thumbs-up without any expression.

Asmodi: "?"

"Brother... Brother?...."

—It means normal, legal, and compliant attire.

Nice! So pleasing to the eye! Thank you for the treat!

"...Brother, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Such a beautiful woman is like a stunning landscape that is rarely seen. It would be disrespectful not to appreciate her properly."

"...Hill is a beauty too, so can I look at Hill with a lecherous eye, brother?"

"Hill, you're not a beauty, you're just cute, and that's enough. If you get any cuter, the world will explode."

“Mmmmm…”

Hill sighed with a hint of displeasure and helplessness: "Sooner or later, Hill will surpass her." She pouted and looked away, but her eyes were drawn to the merchandise.

She walked to a display case showcasing weapons.

"Wow, that's amazing, it must be mithril."

“Good job, Hill. Even though it’s a mithril alloy, you’d probably have to spend at least 80 R to buy this in the Explorer’s Hall.”

"How much will it cost here?"

"30 RMB".

Asmodi tapped the ashtray with his pipe, scattering cigarette butts: "Old stuff that's been sitting for too long, not worth much."

Her voice was captivating, addictive. She exhaled a smoke ring and asked calmly:

What are you two looking for?

98. Sirocco's Embarrassment

Hill asked curiously:

"Can this store accept R-coins?"

"Sure, but it has to be cash. She has a tool that can convert currency into an equal amount."

At the same time, Asmodeus was also aware of the existence of the people on Earth.

Compared to goods in the real world, goods here are very cheap.

Sirocco approached Asmodie, standing just one sales table away from her.

"I want the skill of Alchemy."

"Good eye! I'm optimistic about you. This skill just arrived this morning, and you're already here... How about I sell it to you for 1000 million?"

"Huh—? 1000 million!?"

Hill, who was admiring the goods, immediately turned around when he heard the price, wondering if he had mistyped and added two extra zeros.

Sirocco nodded in agreement.

"Okay, please wait here."

Asmodi, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked into the back cabinet space and rummaged through it where the two couldn't see him.

Unfortunately, this is the actual price, just like in the game.

"Are you sure it's okay, brother? I didn't expect it to be so much... Even with all of my allowance, it's not enough..."

"It's okay, I bought it with my own money."

They had already split the assets obtained from exploration with Hill.

Besides, Sirocco didn't want to keep borrowing money from his sister.

Hill whispered in Sirocco's ear:

"If all else fails, Hill can use the 'Stalker' ability to become invisible and sneak out."

Sirocco remained silent, smiling as he looked at Hill.

"...Okay, Hill was just kidding, I just wanted to help out."

I will come to this store again in the future. Sirocco also wants to establish a good customer-business relationship with Asmodi.

A short while later, Asmodeus came out carrying the goods.

"This is the crystal of the Alchemy. The three pieces of the Pipa Player's hand bones are a gift to you."

Asmodeus placed the crystal on a small square red pillow.

Unlike ordinary crystals, it presents a perfect spherical shape, with a dazzling luster like a gemstone within its transparent color.

Sirocco didn't take it, but instead quietly examined the crystal.

The flawless crystal is marked with the word "Refining".

Shilock focused on observing the letter "n".

The letter “n” is slightly distorted compared to the other letters.

"Asmodi".

"Oh? You know my name? But... isn't it a bit impolite to call me that like that?"

Asmodi's vertical pupils narrowed, revealing curiosity and slight displeasure.

"elder brother...."

Hill tugged at Sirocco's sleeve.

Sirocco remained unmoved, staring directly into Asmodie's seductive eyes, and pushed the crystal back.

"You sold me a high-quality counterfeit for 1000 million, and you were the one who was rude to me first."

Upon hearing this answer, Asmodeus suppressed his displeasure, a slight smile playing on his languid lips as he exhaled a puff of smoke into Sirocco's face.

"Pass. Your eyes are quite sharp, aren't they?"

"Ahem! Ahem! Sorry, I don't smoke."

Sirocco coughed, covering his mouth. It smelled quite nice, but he couldn't stand the smell of smoke.

"Eh...? Big Sister Long Horns, is what Big Brother said true?"

Asmodi responded quickly:

"Yes, it's true."

"Big sister is so mean! You actually tried to swindle 1000 million from my brother without any money...Are you a devil?"

"Thank you, I am a demon."

Faced with Hill's righteous accusations, Asmodi calmly and without batting an eye retracted the high-quality replica crystal.

Haha, you'll really take my money then. After using the fake crystal, not only will you not be able to use any skills, but it will also take up skill slots, and you'll have to spend money to remove it.

If it's your first time buying something from Asmodeus, it's best to bring an appraisal skill.

However, I've seen a guide for Sirocco from a guy on the forum.

They said that even without authentication skills, there are subtle differences between the character art of genuine and counterfeit items, and careful comparison can reveal the problems.

At this moment, Asmodeus's slender white hand retrieved the real Alchemy crystal from the bottomless cleavage.

There was a magical interdimensional setting there, and the clever design of the open-chest cheongsam made it easy to take things out.

This action left Hill stunned, her mouth agape as she murmured, "Thunder... Thunder General?" Whether she was stunned by magic or by the abyss, only she knew.

That's a classic emotional manipulation technique... but it's very effective.

Sirocco took the Alchemy Crystal, still warm and fragrant, and examined it carefully.

"...Um, brother, don't sniff around like a lapdog because you can smell the lingering scent of a woman. That's disgusting."

"How could I, as a gentleman, possibly do such a thing?"

"Now?"

Sirocco placed the crystal.

This time it's definitely the real deal.
