Chapter 141: Chapter 113: Xia Pingzhou’s Second-Order Celestial Driver, New Chess Species (Asking for Monthly Votes)

July 18.

On this evening, Xia Pingzhou, with nothing else to do, sat inside a coffee shop playing a few rounds of poker with the members of the White Crow Travel Brigade.

Xia Pingzhou played with such absent-mindedness, making blunders left and right—he basically threw every bomb he could on his teammates.

Even the legendary British gambler Anluns couldn’t handle playing like this, ending up as the big fool, losing two rounds along with Xia Pingzhou, and breaking his undefeated record in card games within the brigade overnight.

After losing all the money he had, Ayase Origami, sitting next to Xia Pingzhou, naturally took his place, expressionlessly telling him, "I’ll win it back for you, little kitten go to sleep first."

So Xia Pingzhou patted his backside and smoothly returned to the loft.

He thought to himself, in the future, it might be wise to participate less in these team-building activities. As a model youngster with a red scarf, it’s not that he doesn’t want to win; rather, even amidst an international crime organization, he remains true to his original intention, unwilling to participate in group gambling, distancing himself from vice and indulgence.

Controlling the second unit to walk towards the window, Xia Pingzhou stepped on the window ledge and jumped onto the attic roof.

By the way, Xia Pingzhou’s physical strength is only D-level, starkly contrasting with the other two attributes, at most a bit stronger than an average person.

Therefore, Xia Pingzhou dared not be careless; a slip and fall would require the Queen’s Statue to save him—a favor he couldn’t afford to lose, especially as he still has battles to lead in the future.

Upon climbing onto the rooftop, the evening breeze greeted him, and cars on the street resembled fireflies, forming an endless stream of light. Xia Pingzhou found a spot to sit and gazed at the Tokyo nightscape, zoning out for a while, with the air-conditioning unit buzzing in his ears.

He thought of Kong Youling again. Every time he sat on the loft roof, memories of his time at the Welfare Institute would arise. He dearly wished that Kong Youling could sit here with him, the two enjoying the evening breeze, observing the brightly lit Tokyo beneath the night sky.

If he wasn’t some restricted superpower user and Kong Youling was an ordinary person, they could cast aside bothersome thoughts about the Salvation Society and world destruction, just sitting here simply, watching the sky, observing the cars and people coming and going in the city...

After a moment, Xia Pingzhou snapped back to reality and pulled up the "Celestial Driver Progress" on the character panel.

[Current progress for the celestial driver "International Chess" of the second unit is: 80%]

Looking at the red text on the panel, Xia Pingzhou pondered, "The celestial driver of the second unit is about to advance to the second stage; might as well do it before the auction starts and see if anything valuable can be obtained through this mechanism."

So he lay on the roof of the loft, clicked the skull icon on his phone, and opened the Exorcist Association’s internal app, unfolding a map on the phone screen.

He rested his right arm behind his head, closed his eyes, and took a brief nap. About an hour later, a "beep beep beep" sound came from his ear, signaling that the Exorcist Association’s instrument had detected a demon nearby.

Xia Pingzhou opened his eyes, looked at the red dot on the map, then got up and descended from the roof, stepping onto the window ledge and returning inside the loft.

Just as Ayase Origami was coming up from the coffee shop’s first floor, the kimono-clad girl drooped her eyelids and raised her rust-red kimono sleeve to cover her mouth, letting out a gentle yawn.

Recently acquired yen from other brigade members slowly flew out from her kimono sleeve, entering Xia Pingzhou’s sweater pocket—no doubt, she had really won back the money Xia Pingzhou lost.

"A demon has appeared on the map."

Xia Pingzhou said as he reached and felt the thick wad of yen in his pocket, then lifted his phone screen and pointed to the red dot displayed on it with a blank face.

He couldn’t help but think: he was quite the ultimate freeloader, needing a rich lady to help him win money playing cards and again needing the rich lady to help him hunt demons, oh no, it’s more like the rich young girl, he should show a bit of respect.

"Playing cards, tired..." Ayase Origami muttered, "Takayama will take you."

After speaking, she tilted her body and dropped onto the bed, closed her eyes, used superpower to unfold the pages of a haiku collection from the window ledge into a paper quilt covering herself.

Seeing her act so casually, Xia Pingzhou somewhat helplessly grabbed a thin blanket from his mattress to cover Ayase Origami and hung up her paper quilt on the loft rack.

That way, tomorrow, Ayase Origami could revert the paper quilt into the haiku collection with superpower whenever she wished to read.

Then, he went downstairs and saw Oda Takashige tidying up the coffee shop. He immediately asked, "No. 4, can you take me to hunt a couple of demons?"

His tone was as casual as saying, "Can you accompany me to play some mahjong?"

Oda Takashige lowered his face, glanced at him through reading glasses, then entered the kitchen, took off his apron, returned to the counter in the shop, removed his reading glasses, and placed them in their case before slowly asking:

"Is it far from here?"

Xia Pingzhou shook his head: "Not very far, but we still don’t know what level the demons are. The Exorcist Association system needs a half-hour delay to determine their level, by then the demons will already have been taken by other exorcists."

"Alright, let’s go then." Oda Takashige nodded, "Show me the map first."

Xia Pingzhou handed him the phone with the app opened; Oda Takashige glanced at the location where the red dot was flashing on the map before placing his right hand on Xia Pingzhou’s shoulder.
