Mu Yang looked down at the small paper dolls in his hand, his thumb tracing the surface of the paper.
"Standard Shikigami made by an Onmyoji."
So-called standard Shikigami, also known as mass-produced cannon fodder, are often seen in works related to Onmyoji. These are often cute, chibi paper dolls or vaguely human figures that help Onmyoji with simple tasks, such as serving tea, cooking, making beds, building bridges, and paving roads...
In short, standard Shikigami can handle many non-combat related things.
"Domestic helpers? Maybe they'll be useful. I'll keep them."
Putting away the paper doll Shikigami, Mu Yang's gaze turned to the group chat.
Although the previous "Group Owner is Peeking" incident had startled the group members, and the group chat had been briefly silent for a few seconds, the shock quickly dissipated. The group chat became lively again.
The know-it-all Tony Stark was giving advice to Serino Douman and Toshirou Hijikata on how to choose gifts, mixed with the mockery of Tsunade and other female members, as well as conversations from other group members. The chat was very lively.
It's a bit like joining...
But Mu Yang could imagine what it would be like if he joined the conversation. The group would probably go silent the moment he spoke, similar to when a teacher walks into a noisy classroom, or a boss enters an employee's workspace.
Because of the difference in status, a casual comment from Mu Yang would probably make the group members overthink things for a while. It would likely be difficult to have a free-flowing chat.
"Maybe I should use an alias."
Mu Yang had tried developing clients with his real identity many times, but it didn't feel right. Perhaps he could try another identity.
Using an alias... no fear, no need to worry about the persona.
"Sounds like fun, I'll give it a try."
After thinking for a moment, Mu Yang felt it was quite interesting. Playing around with an alias would be fine.
I'll make a note of it for later.
Since I'm going to be using an alias, I can't be careless.
For now, I'll send a red envelope in the group.
Mu Yang: [Red Envelope]
One second later…
[Mu Yang's red envelope has been claimed, Gintoki Sakata is the luckiest.]
Tony Stark stared at the 10:1 Iron Man remote-controlled toy in his hands, and the Iron Man toy's electronic eyes stared back at him.
After a long moment of silent appraisal, Tony Stark gave a grudging evaluation, "It's quite exquisite."
As a guy who could build Iron Man suits by hand, for a toy to get a "pretty well-made" rating from him, it was likely due to a "Mu Yang's red envelope" bonus.
What did the others get?
Tony Stark looked up at Ethan and the other two...
Pitch-black clouds, like the tentacles of a terrifying monster, intertwined and churned. Countless pale, wandering souls danced in the air, screaming and wailing. Innumerable flying monsters swirled above, including screeching bat-like creatures, flapping bird-like monsters, winged serpents hissing, misshapen undead pieced together from bones, and grotesque, inferior demons...
The swarming mass of monsters surged towards the Iron Man soaring in the sky. The metal torrent tore through the monsters' bodies. Dazzling electromagnetic cannon shells streaked across the murky sky, clearing a path. Scorching lasers, like two invincible holy swords, sliced through the monsters as easily as a knife through tofu. Countless monster corpses fell like raindrops.
He was like an invincible god of war, traversing the waves of monsters. It's just that the god of war's ammo supply was a bit small. After a burst of attacks, he had to run around, chased by the monsters. After buying more ammo, he could rise up again for a while, then be chased around again, repeating this process.
On the dark ground, hellhounds spewed flames, low-level imps wielded wooden clubs, black snakes slithered, and lava lizards roared... countless monsters formed a wave, fiercely attacking the two reefs at the center of the wave.
Steve Rogers, as a user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, was in his element in the high-temperature zone. He performed various acrobatics with ease, throwing fiery balls, waving illusory whips of flame, and summoning pillars of fire that reached the sky...
Unfortunately, the monsters were also fire-attributed, so Steve's attacks had little effect.
Bucky, as the user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, was unfortunately weakened. Although his casual attacks could seriously injure the monsters, the high-temperature environment drained him of thirty to forty percent of his power. Monsters he could have instantly killed now required a second hit, severely depleting his stamina.
Due to these circumstances, the two of them were fighting with difficulty, relying on their elemental transformations.
Tony Stark, protected by the High-Jump Locusts transformed from five mecha dolls, retracted his gaze. "Seeing them so busy and on the verge of death, they won't have time to snatch any red packets. I'll ask in the group."
Tony Stark: "What red packets did you guys get?"
Hashirama Senju: "A hover car, but I don't know how to drive..."
Kakashi Hatake: "A demon blade. It can only harm demons, not humans."
Gintoki Sakata: "A Gundam... @Mu Yang, can you add storage space functionality to the bracelet?"
Toshirou Hijikata: "An Omamori. It can keep the wearer healthy and free from illness."
Ancient One: "A Dark Amulet, if crushed, can summon a weak, brainless henchman made of dark energy."
Black Zetsu: "Two 'slots', meaning two Bracelets."
Tony Stark: "..."
This is just ridiculous. So, Uncle Tony, I'm the unlucky one?!
I, Tony Stark...
Before he could finish, Tony recalled recent events: being blown up by his own missiles, almost being blown up by Hydra's bombs, being pinned down and rubbed against the ground by monsters, and various mishaps always ruining his plans...
"Maybe things have been a bit unlucky lately. I should check the store for something to change my luck..."
Stark mumbled, preparing to enter the store...
Suddenly, a ball of flames flew past his eyes, and urgent words drifted into his ears with the wind.
"Tony, we'll draw the monsters away, you go clean up the battlefield quickly."
Tony: "..."
Crack, crack, crack…
With the stiffness of rusty gears, he turned his head, looking in Steve's direction as the crimson-eyed monster tide surged towards him.
"FXXK! Steve, you son of a bitch!"
Why did you have to tell me this in person? Use private messages!
"Transform!"
"High-Jump Locust!"
"Jump!!!"
Six locusts leaped together, dodging the small wave of monsters rushing across the ground.
"Stark, watch out!"
However, the monsters weren't just on the ground; they were in the air as well.
Stark, who had jumped into the air, was swatted to the ground by a bird-like monster that happened to be passing by.
Lying in the depression, Stark entered the shop and silently searched for items that could change his luck.
His recent luck did seem to be a bit of a problem.
There were six figures in the sky at the time: Mu Yang and five mechanical puppets.
A bird-like monster passed by, casually flapping its wings, and somehow managed to hit him.
Even though he was standing right next to the mechanical puppets, and the six of them weren't far apart.
"Why did you manage to avoid everyone else and single me out?!"
