Chapter 010: Wonderful

“It’s just that his students happen to be elementary school students. He’s very talented…” Keika Kiyotaki felt that she couldn’t defend Yaichi Kuzuryuu too much.

That time during the live video, the number of viewers on the shogi channel broke the historical record, not because the game was brilliant, but because an elementary school student claimed to be the Dragon King’s bride and kissed the Dragon King in front of everyone.

At that time, Yaichi was taken into custody, causing quite a stir in the shogi world.

“In that case, can I go and watch?” Luo Feng asked. “A 3-dan in the Reward Association is only one step away from being a professional. When Teacher Kuzuryuu became a 4-dan, he won the Dragon King title within a year, which shows that any 4-dan has the ability to challenge that title and also demonstrates how high the threshold for professional shogi players is.”

Strength and victory are not determined by ranks. Otherwise, in shogi, one could just show their rank, and the lower-ranked person would admit defeat.

“Um, won’t you feel like it’s a waste?” Keika Kiyotaki asked uncertainly. “There will be no one to explain the game at that time.”

Luo Feng had paid for the time, not for a few games. If he used this time to watch a game that he couldn’t understand at his level, it would be a complete waste of time.

“The Snow White of Naniwa is a regular customer at my store.” Luo Feng chuckled. “Watching her play seems quite interesting.”

“You know Gin?” Keika Kiyotaki couldn’t help but change the way she addressed her.

“Yes, she’s my customer. My place is an izakaya that also sells various things. If you like, you can come visit.” As Luo Feng spoke, he handed over a business card.

Keika Kiyotaki took the card. Blade Izakaya? Knife Izakaya? What an interesting name.

The owner’s name was Luo Feng. Phone number… email…

Like her father, she was a drinker and enjoyed drinking, especially when she was in a bad mood. This card might be of some use to her.

When she felt like drinking, she would go to his place for a drink. After all, it was just an ordinary izakaya, so it didn’t matter where she drank.

“Why didn’t you say so in the first place?” Keika Kiyotaki asked puzzledly. “If you have a referral from an acquaintance, you can get a 20% discount on membership.”

“Miss Sora is just my customer. We have an average relationship. She’s only interested in the things in my store.” Luo Feng smiled. “She doesn’t seem to like me very much.”

“That’s not true.” Keika Kiyotaki thought of Ginko Sora’s personality and interpersonal relationships and quickly defended her. “She’s not a bad person, just sharp-tongued and a bit domineering in personality.”

It seemed that when she mentioned the 3-dan in the Reward Association earlier, his slight laugh indicated that he already knew about Ginko’s situation. Today, he must have come specifically to watch Ginko play.

Keika Kiyotaki had some idea of how many people Ginko Sora could offend.

If someone showed goodwill towards her, she couldn’t just offend them casually.

“It’s a small matter.” Luo Feng tidied his clothes. “Let’s go watch the game.”

…

Ginko Sora sat in her seat, silently looking at the shogi board. Her junior brother, Yaichi Kuzuryuu, sat across from her, greeting the dojo’s regular customers.

Ginko Sora was still wearing the same sailor uniform as yesterday. She had many sets of the same outfit, as it was her favorite style.

Unlike Yaichi Kuzuryuu, who greeted everyone, she quietly waited there for the game to begin.

She gripped her fan, not knowing how to play this game.

Now she had that powerful computing ability, but if she used it now and lost that power in three days, wouldn’t she be back to square one?

But if she didn’t use it… she didn’t even know how to not use it.

Now, whenever she saw a move, a shogi board would be simulated in her mind, automatically deducing the moves. It had become an instinct, just like seeing 1+1 and instinctively thinking of 2.

Her computing power had only increased based on her own foundation and wasn’t forcibly obtained from someone else’s ability like Luo Feng.

“Senior Sister, please guide me.”

Yaichi Kuzuryuu’s voice announcing the start of the game brought Ginko Sora back to her senses.

“Please guide me.” Ginko Sora bowed slightly.

It didn’t matter. She had finally stood at the same height as Yaichi, so how could she not use her hard-earned talent at this moment?

Ginko Sora played first, using her most familiar opening. Yaichi Kuzuryuu didn’t find anything unusual.

It was a very normal opening, a very conventional move, without any novelty or characteristics, even making people feel bored because it was too routine. Neither side gained an advantage.

However, by the twentieth move, Yaichi Kuzuryuu sensed something was off.

Senior Sister’s attack was too early. According to her style and personality, it shouldn’t be this early!

Could it be that she gained inspiration from yesterday’s match?

Because Yaichi Kuzuryuu didn’t notice it at first, he was a bit flustered for a moment.

Fortunately, although her strength had increased, it hadn’t exceeded Yaichi Kuzuryuu’s understanding.

He had encountered opponents of Ginko Sora’s level countless times and quickly turned the situation around.

Ginko Sora didn’t feel it very clearly when she was at Luo Feng’s place, but now she truly felt her own strength.

Her mind began to calculate rapidly, simulating countless possible scenarios and the consequences of each move she made.

Was this the world of shogi prodigies?

Luo Feng nodded.

Wonderful!

He didn’t know what was wonderful about it, but the spectators all thought it was wonderful, so it should be wonderful.

He was too lazy to borrow someone else’s talent to analyze. He was just there to watch the fun.

Wasn’t Ginko Sora more interesting than shogi?

His gaze lingered more on Ginko Sora’s face. When she was serious, her charm was really great.

Tug, tug…

At this moment, Luo Feng felt someone tugging on his sleeve.

He turned his head and saw Keika Kiyotaki.

Luo Feng was a bit puzzled. Why did you tug me?

Thinking of this, he tugged on Keika Kiyotaki, considering it even.

Keika Kiyotaki was instantly covered in black lines. She had no idea what Luo Feng’s purpose was in tugging her.

“Can you understand it?” Keika Kiyotaki whispered.

Everyone was discussing among themselves, but their voices were low, as if they were in a library, afraid of disturbing the two players.

In Japan, secretly filming was illegal, so no one was recording at this time. This was just a private game of shogi.

“I don’t understand.” Luo Feng whispered back. “If everyone else nods and I don’t, won’t they know I don’t understand? Just go along with the wonderful moves.”

Keika Kiyotaki was speechless. Was this even possible?

As they played move after move, the people present gradually couldn’t understand, but they could see that the young Dragon King was gripping his pants, seemingly becoming serious.

“I lost.”

Chapter 09: Home Visit

The next afternoon, Luo Feng arrived at the Kiyotaki School’s dojo.

Ginko Sora came from the Kiyotaki School. When she was four years old, she lost a teaching game to Kousuke Kiyotaki(1)*. Afterwards, she found the address of Teacher Kiyotaki’s residence through the internet and went there every day by train to seek revenge. There was even a legend that “because her hands couldn’t reach the ticket machine, the station staff specially placed a platform in front of the machine for her.”

After Ginko Sora’s parents discussed with Teacher Kiyotaki, she eventually became Kousuke Kiyotaki’s disciple.

There were many shogi dojos like this in Japan, similar to chess and card rooms in China. However, the functions here were not as diverse; one could only play shogi here and not play cards or go.

The tatami room was densely packed with many shogi boards, and many seats were already occupied.

Most of the people active in such places were middle-aged and elderly. Young people still preferred to play online.

As soon as Luo Feng entered, a girl came to greet him.

She had brown hair and green eyes, dressed maturely, and was quite good-looking.

“Hello, customer. This is Keika Kiyotaki.” Keika Kiyotaki’s voice was very gentle, with a strong housewife vibe. “Are you here alone? Do you need me to arrange a suitable opponent for you?”

This customer’s attire is so strange. A trench coat, fedora, vest, shirt, and pocket watch, just like an English gentleman. The only thing missing is a cane. But judging from his appearance, he is an Asian.

Does he understand if I speak Japanese? Should I speak English?

New faces like Luo Feng were not common here, as most people who came were regulars and members. Keika Kiyotaki noticed him as soon as he appeared.

“Yes, my name is Luo Feng. I’m here alone. Are you a shogi player?” Luo Feng asked casually.

His Japanese was very fluent and even had a Kansai accent, which was the convenience of being a devil.

He had no interest in such a beauty.

He liked people like Ginko Sora, who had personality, their own pursuits, obsessions, and achievements.

If they couldn’t reach these standards, even if they were beauties, he wouldn’t bother letting them trade with him using their bodies, because he would even feel like he was getting the short end of the stick.

“You… want to play with me?” Keika Kiyotaki was stunned for a moment. “I’m a women’s professional shogi player… If you don’t mind, I’m okay with it.”

Women’s professional shogi players had always been looked down upon in the shogi world, and it was even worse in Japan, where women’s status was relatively low.

For example, in instructional games at events, women’s professional shogi players would be challenged in even games. Even strong amateur shogi players were not certain to lose to players like Ginko Sora.

Of course, such amateur shogi players themselves had the ability to challenge professionals. Amateurs were not guaranteed to lose to professionals.

If a woman won in a women’s game, the opponent might make excuses, saying they didn’t take it seriously because the opponent was a woman. If they lost, they might even say, “I’ll teach you how to play shogi,” and hand over a piece of paper with their address written on it. Regardless of winning or losing, they would be looked down upon.

“I only know the rules of shogi. Can you teach me?” Luo Feng showed a kind smile.

His level was indeed only knowing the rules. Let alone shogi, his go level was also just knowing how to play. As for Chinese chess, it was a bit better. At least if given a chariot handicap, he could play with the old men in the park.

When he played shogi with Ginko Sora before, he used other people’s abilities, not his own.

He was like using cheats, knowing how to make the right moves, but he didn’t know the significance of making those moves and couldn’t see the development dozens of steps later.

“Sure, I’d be happy to.” Keika Kiyotaki nodded.

Luo Feng was not bad-looking, and one could even say he was quite good. In addition, his unique aura and attire were also very attractive.

Since that was the case, even if he had ulterior motives and wanted to take this opportunity to pursue her, Keiko Kiyotaki had no resistance.

This was the advantage of good looks. If a handsome guy accidentally bumped into someone on the train, the other person might think it was unintentional. If it were a lecherous old man, they might think he was a pervert.

Soon, Luo Feng paid the fee and found a corner with Keiko Kiyotaki to start playing.

The dojo had more than just her as a service staff, so there was no problem with her playing shogi.

After sitting down, Luo Feng sniffed and said softly, “Have you been drinking?”

“Um… sorry, last night my father’s disciple became a 3-dan in the Reward Association, so we held a banquet to celebrate.” Keika Kiyotaki said apologetically.

“Oh, a 3-dan in the Reward Association.” Luo Feng chuckled.

“She’s a girl, you know. The first female 3-dan in the Reward Association.” When Keika Kiyotaki saw that Luo Feng seemed unimpressed, she quickly explained on behalf of Ginko Sora.

“That’s impressive.” Luo Feng nodded. “Do you want to become a 3-dan in the Reward Association?”

“Me? I’m way too far from that.” Keika Kiyotaki laughed bitterly. “Being able to become a women’s professional shogi player is already a blessing from the God of Shogi.”

Her rank was C1, with B2, B1, A2, A1, and S above her.

Only A-rank could enter the Reward Association, and that was the lowest 6-kyu. Above that, there were 5-kyu, 4-kyu, 3-kyu, 2-kyu, 1-kyu, 1-dan, 2-dan, and then Ginko Sora’s 3-dan.

“If you want, the God of Shogi will bless you.” Luo Feng smiled. “Let’s start the game.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”

Keika Kiyotaki didn’t pay much attention to Luo Feng’s consolation. She had heard such consolation countless times.

She had just become a women’s professional shogi player not long ago, and the road ahead was still long. She didn’t know if she could reach A-rank before retirement, let alone possess Ginko Sora’s current level.

Talent and aptitude were the biggest limitations. Those monsters were all talented and hardworking people.

As the two began playing shogi, Keika Kiyotaki truly let her guard down. Luo Feng was indeed a beginner who only knew the rules and couldn’t even tell the outcome.

As they played, she instructed him, telling him what situations were dead ends and at what point he didn’t need to make any more moves.

Luo Feng also maintained a learner’s attitude and played happily.

The two casually played three quick games, and then exclamations were heard from the dojo.

“The Snow White of Naniwa is here.”

“Miss Sora, congratulations.”

“The Dragon King is here too.”

“Oh, Gin and Yaichi are here. They will play a public game in the dojo today.” Keika Kiyotaki’s eyes lit up.

With such outstanding disciples, as a teacher, one definitely had to show off. Moreover, having them play shogi in this dojo could also attract more customers.

Even if Ginko Sora was unwilling, it was not good to disobey her teacher.

“You have a good relationship.” Luo Feng said softly.

“Yes, I’ve always treated them as my younger siblings. You probably don’t know yet, but Yaichi is the Dragon King. He’s a very impressive shogi player. Last year, he even defeated the godlike Meijin(Shogi title).”

“Is that so?” Luo Feng’s narrow eyes opened slightly. “I read related reports. He seems to be… a lolicon.”

Chapter 08: I Have No Morals

Doing a business deal and teaching a scheming angel a lesson was just an episode in Luo Feng’s devil career.

He was now in the washroom, frantically washing his hands.

Although that sacred angelic body had a nice feel to it, hitting it made his hands a bit dirty. How could something as disgusting as holy light exist?

Heaven should be destroyed so that there would be no more holy light in the world.

After washing his hands, Luo Feng returned to his computer.

He casually opened a bottle of holy water and gulped it down.

He hated holy light, but he didn’t hate holy water. Alcohol brewed with holy water was stronger and more intense than ordinary alcohol.

The good thing about alcohol was its unpleasant taste. He didn’t dwell too much on the taste anyway. As long as there was human evil to blend it with, it was quite enjoyable to drink.

“That feels good.” Luo Feng leaned back in his chair. “After a beating, my mind is so clear. It would have been even better if I could have torn off her wings. Two hundred years is such a long time…”

Knowing that he had a competitor on his path to becoming a lord, Luo Feng tapped his temple.

He wasn’t afraid of competition, but he didn’t like trouble.

However, this was a decision made by the higher-ups in hell. He wasn’t a lord yet and couldn’t change anything.

But couldn’t this trouble be turned into something interesting?

The process of tormenting humans seemed like it could also be used to torment the cute little angel.

How interesting would it be to make an angel like Raphi fall?

Turning her wings black would be much more interesting than tearing them off!

Luo Feng stroked his chin, deep in thought. “I’ll deal with things as they come. This way, it can add some fun to life. Let me see how my cute little Gin is doing.”

He had taken away Ginko Sora’s memory of those two games and didn’t know if it had a big impact on her. Hopefully, she wouldn’t pull out her hair in despair.

That cute silver hair would be such a waste if she went bald.

Luo Feng placed his right index finger on his temple and began remotely listening to the girl’s thoughts.

As long as Luo Feng knew who she was, what she looked like, and her name, he could directly lock onto her location. Mortals basically couldn’t escape his surveillance.

Let alone being in a different city, they couldn’t escape even if they were on a different planet.

‘He said Yaichi has good romantic luck…’

‘What others say might be fake, but what he says should be true, right?’

‘So, does Yaichi really have good romantic luck? Will his final choice… be me?’

‘Actually… he’s not much older than those two elementary school girls. By the time he reaches the true pinnacle, they’ll already be in high school.’

‘Why can’t he slow down? Why can’t he wait for me?’

‘I really want to play against him in a professional match…’

‘I’m not like Ai Hinatsuru(1)*. I’m not as cute as her.’

‘I’m not like Ai Yashajin. I’m not a child raised by talented parents.’

‘I’m not like Keika(2)*. I can’t heal Yaichi with gentleness.’

‘Clumsy and ill-tempered me can’t do anything.’

‘I can neither do anything for Yaichi nor give him anything.’

‘A shabby body that spoils in the sun and a wooden brain that can’t even clearly visualize a shogi board.’

‘So all I have is this small shogi board. The only place that can attract Yaichi’s attention is on this small shogi board.’

‘The day I become a professional shogi player… in an official match, I can play shogi with him seriously.’

‘Although the match only lasts a few short hours, during that time, he belongs only to me.’

‘But… I refused the god’s deal. Can he grant me the power to advance to 4-dan? Can he grant me a strong body that won’t collapse before my will does?’

‘Hmm, what exactly were those two game records? They felt important. One was a game I played, and the other was a game between gods. Why can’t I remember them?’

‘My definition is that if those game records were released, they could even change the world of shogi.’

‘This isn’t the definition of that wooden brain. It’s the definition of my current computing power.’

‘Each move in the middle game could branch out into different playing styles. Neither side used the optimal solution for each move. In the end… who won in the end?’

‘But do I really have to go beg him? Make a deal with him?’

‘No, shogi is important to me, and Yaichi is equally important to me…’

‘Didn’t I want to become a professional shogi player to chase after Yaichi’s footsteps?’

“She’s actually thinking about someone else. How can I let anyone else touch the toy I’ve set my eyes on?” Luo Feng stroked his chin. “Tsk, she clearly had her own passion for shogi.”

Luo Feng wasn’t talking to Ginko Sora but muttering to himself.

She had someone she liked, and the person she liked was her junior brother from the same teacher.

Hmm… what difference does that make?

Luo Feng said that Yaichi Kuzuryuu didn’t need to make a wish because he hadn’t heard the whispers of a devil and hadn’t been tempted by a devil.

Even he must have something he wanted. There was no one who had no desires at all.

He could show him the game records of Teku and Blanco to attract him, or he could help him develop new strategies himself.

He should be quite obsessed with shogi too, right?

As for the price, it would be this fate.

In the eyes of a devil, there was nothing that couldn’t be traded.

But… is this interesting?

Or I could make a deal with him for other things, lure him little by little, make him go in the opposite direction of Gin, and even lead him into the abyss.

Also, I can create countless interesting scenarios to make Gin completely lose hope.

Either way is fine. It doesn’t matter how I torment them. I’m bored anyway.

Luo Feng lightly licked his lips and showed a delighted smile.

He never thought about whether doing this was immoral or whether he was breaking up a couple that might have ended up together, breaking up this beautiful story in the shogi world.

I have no morals. Morality can’t hold me hostage.

He was a devil, a devil who toyed with people’s hearts. If he still had to consider his human nature from when he was alive, why would he choose to become a devil? Wouldn’t it be better to reincarnate directly?

Thinking of this, Luo Feng’s hands started typing on the keyboard. He would do whatever was interesting and fun.

He hadn’t forgotten about his main task, which was to get the employees in hell to quickly develop an interesting app so that he wouldn’t have to sense and search for people one by one. That was too troublesome.

This program definitely wasn’t something no one had thought of before, but did their words matter? Would the higher-ups in hell listen to them?

Whether in the human world, heaven, or hell, power and strength were eternal.

Unfortunately, now heaven and hell had some kind of cease-fire agreement.

Otherwise, tempting some more powerful beings would definitely be more interesting than playing with mortals.

Currently, only Raphi had the potential to be tempted. After all, the prerequisite for being tempted was not being pure enough.

Chapter 07: Fallen Angel

Tokyo, an ordinary apartment, in a dark room.

The curtains were tightly drawn, and the flickering white light from the screen was a bit dazzling in the dim room.

A blonde girl sat cross-legged in front of the desk, her fingers rapidly clicking the left mouse button.

“Tsk, this game doesn’t have Richelieu, right? Definitely not, right? Why can’t I ever draw him…?” The girl looked at her depleted salary and sighed helplessly.

The girl pushed the mouse away, her face full of impatience as she grabbed her hair, reached out to grab the snacks beside her, and stuffed them into her mouth to eat.

She was playing a pay-to-win gacha game on a computer using a mobile game emulator. She had spent all her money but still didn’t draw the character she wanted.

“This trash world should just be destroyed!” She reached out to grab something but found nothing. Only then did she remember that her horn and divine power were gone.

Let alone destroying the world, she didn’t even have the strength to blow up that game company.

“Tsk, not an angel anymore, huh…?” She didn’t dwell on it for too long.

Life was about gaming. Instead of wasting time pondering whether she was still an angel or had allowance money, it was better to spend that time doing more meaningful things.

She opened a 2D side-scrolling game and grumbled, “Time to grind again.”

Knock, knock, knock! At this moment, a clear knocking sound suddenly rang out.

“Gabriel… hiss, are you there?” Raphi stood at the apartment door, her face slightly pale.

Footsteps sounded inside the room, and soon, the door was opened with a click. The blonde girl opened the door and saw her former classmate and current good friend.

She yawned, “You’re here, Raphi. Did you bring me food?”

“No, let’s talk inside.” Raphi shook her head.

The air was filled with a scent that smelled very fragrant at first, but after a few more sniffs, it became a bit sickening. It was the smell of instant noodles. The room was dark, with no lights on, and only the flickering white light from the laptop.

Next to the computer, there were a few opened bags of chips and two half-empty bottles of cola. The clothes taken off weren’t neatly folded but simply thrown on the bed. The slippers weren’t neatly arranged either, with one here and one there.

The blonde girl was wearing a red tracksuit top, with no pants on her lower body.

“Hiss… it’s cold. Come in quickly.” The girl hurriedly pulled Raphi in and closed the door.

Feeling the warmth inside the room, the girl sighed in relief.

“Gabriel, I’m here to bring you good news.” Raphi used her divine power to seal off her sense of smell.

When they were experiencing life in the human world before, they couldn’t easily use their divine power, but after becoming official angels, doing such small things was not a problem. This girl was the Gabriel that Luo Feng and Raphi had mentioned before, a fallen angel expelled from heaven, and a fallen angel without divine power.

“Sit. What’s the good news? Has heaven decided to restore my allowance?” Gabriel sat on the bed. Raphi tried to sit down, but as soon as she did, she jumped up like a startled cat.

“What’s wrong with you?” Gabriel looked at her puzzledly.

Raphi gritted her teeth. In order to secure this opportunity for Gabriel, she had gone through who knows how many back doors. Everything had been going smoothly until she encountered Luo Feng. Just now, Luo Feng had spanked her butt for ten minutes, a full ten minutes, from the initial pain to a strange feeling at the end. She wanted to use her own power to heal it, but she couldn’t.

Her butt remained fiery hot. At this moment, Raphi was thankful that she was an angel. Devils had a natural aversion and disdain for divine power. Otherwise, who knew what other terrifying things would have happened? In theory, he shouldn’t have done that! With the truce between heaven and hell, was he trying to provoke a war? During this sensitive period of competition, doing this was too disadvantageous for him, right? No, she had to protest. He should be waiting for punishment!

“It’s nothing.” Raphi took out a file from her cleavage and handed it to Gabriel.

“Heaven has decided to restore your divine power and help you become a true fallen angel to compete for one of the positions of the Seven Lords of Hell.”

“Lord?” Gabriel was stunned for a moment.

“What kind of joke is this? Those are the seven most powerful and authoritative devils in hell. How could I possibly run for the position of a lord?”

“Because Vignette became an archangel, so you can run for the position of a lord.” Raphi smiled.

“In the current heaven and hell, where is the absolute good and evil?” After becoming a true angel, she clearly knew that most of the things she learned before were useless. Whether angels or demons, their internal systems were divided into two types: warfare and civil service. Those in civil service, due to their insufficient purity of beliefs and kindness, had poor strength. Although Luo Feng had a high position and strong power, what he was doing now as a civil servant was the work of low-level devils. Compared to true civil servants, his behavior was more like entertainment.

Civil servants were like Raphi, who liked to use their brains and liked to be flexible. In other words, they were good at politics. The pure ones were like Vignette, who became an archangel. They gained tremendous power simply because of their kindness and righteousness. They were the symbol of heaven and were responsible for fighting.

“I don’t want to compete either…” Gabriel lay on the bed and rolled over.

“It’s so comfortable to play games all day. Now that I don’t have to follow heaven’s rules, I can just live peacefully like this for the rest of my life. This is my pursuit!”

“Gabriel, I paid a heavy price to get this for you.” Raphi’s smile gradually became strange.

“I don’t want to be a devil. I don’t want to. I don’t like tricking people into signing those weird contracts either…” “Being a devil, especially a lord-level devil, the most important thing is to be free-spirited. This position is very suitable for you.”

“Hmm, even if I become one, I’ll just be a figurehead, right? They won’t really consult me on important matters. Heaven doesn’t go to Vignette for important matters either. They just give her work that suits her, right?” Gabriel still didn’t want to take on this job. “I’m not good at being a spy.”

“Let’s talk about it after you become one.” Raphi grabbed Gabriel’s face, her pretty face close to hers.

“Do you know that for this contract, I even got beaten up by that damn Luo Feng?”

“Ah? The guy who defeated my sister?” Gabriel was shocked.

“Don’t you want to get revenge on him?” Raphi said. “We’ll ruin his plans, and then you can act in character. You’ll definitely become a qualified fallen angel.”

“No, no.” Gabriel’s head shook like a rattle drum. “He’ll tear off our wings and hang them up.”

“This isn’t a military competition. He won’t go that far.” Raphi held Gabriel down. “If I got beaten up for nothing… believe me, I’ll suck away all your luck. When your luck disappears, you should know what kind of gaming experience you’ll have.”

“…” Gabriel’s mouth gaped open. Without luck, let alone Richelieu, she wouldn’t be able to draw anything. It would be an eternal blue sky and white clouds.

“I can even cut off your internet connection.” Raphi continued to threaten. Gabriel’s body trembled. I’m definitely taking this lord position!

Chapter 06: Competitor

“I never thought that Gabriel(1)* would really fall…” Raphi sighed softly.

“Becoming lazy despite graduating at the top of her class, acting freely and violating heaven’s shabby rules, being punished by the gods for saving an innocent person who was hit and blinded, these things gradually accumulating, it’s not surprising that she was expelled from heaven.” A delighted smile appeared on Luo Feng’s face.

“If her sister hadn’t lost to you, how could she have been expelled?” A hint of gloom appeared on Raphi’s face.

“Tsk, angel wings are really beautiful.” Luo Feng’s tone became a bit more cheerful. “So, have her new wings grown out?”

“Thanks to you, Gabriel exhausted her divine power to restore them for her.”

Exhausting her divine power was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, causing an angel to be expelled from heaven.

Some irregularities in the human realm weren’t a big deal, but for such things to happen in the heavenly realm…

Sometimes, the laws of heaven were indeed hateful.

“Congratulations, when is the next military competition? In two hundred years, right? My home still lacks quite a few such decorations.” Luo Feng said.

“Hmph.” Raphi turned her head away.

Next time, I must find a way to screw you over. But when she thought of the previous military competition, where Luo Feng hunted angels on the battlefield like a madman, she felt fear from the bottom of her heart.

What was terrifying about devils wasn’t their power, but their minds. If he were a mindless demon with only strength, he would just be experience points.

When devils fought, they usually tried their best to set traps, but Luo Feng was like a combination of demons and devils. He was crazy when he needed to be and rational when he needed to be.

Now that he had taken a civil service direction, quite a few higher-ups in heaven breathed a sigh of relief.

‘I am your savior. As long as you want, I can restore your legs, but with a small price. I believe in equivalent exchange here.’

Luo Feng’s hands didn’t stop as he continued to deceive that person.

For him, that military competition was just an episode in his devil career.

‘What price? As long as my legs can be restored, I am willing to accept any price!’

Seeing his words, Luo Feng showed a delighted smile.

“The most ridiculous answer.” Raphi commented on the human on the other side. “Facing a devil, he actually said he’s willing to accept any price.”

“It’s just information asymmetry.” Luo Feng said, “You’re not going to stop me?”

As he spoke, he opened a contract in a folder and pressed remote send.

“Stop you in your store? Or fly over to stop him?” Raphi laughed. “If I did that, you would definitely use it as an excuse to fight me, right?”

“You’re scared? You’re an angel, you know.” Luo Feng’s gaze finally fell on her. “You are justice, and justice will surely triumph over evil.”

“Yes, scared.” Raphi nodded seriously. “You’re just bullying me. If you have the guts, go fight the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”

“When there’s a chance.” Luo Feng didn’t care about her provocation at all.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, a contract appeared on the computer. The other party had pressed his handprint, which wasn’t an ordinary handprint but a soul imprint.

“What are you going to do? Directly take over his remaining lifespan and his soul?” Raphi’s heart tightened.

What were the higher-ups thinking, letting a devil of this level appear in reality?

“No, I’m not that tasteless.” Luo Feng said, “I’ll restore his legs and take away his sight and taste. He can go anywhere in the world, but he will never be able to see the scenery he wants to see or taste the delicacies of various places. Food and scenery are his greatest hobbies.”

“…” Raphi clenched her fists. “You might as well kill him directly.”

“To gain something, you must learn to lose something.” Luo Feng sneered. “There’s no free lunch in this world! You think he’s pitiful? Then you go save him, at the risk of being confined or expelled from heaven.”

“Phew…” Raphi let out a long breath.

She didn’t dare, and it was impossible for her to do so.

Even before she became an official angel, she hadn’t done such a high-level violation for a friend. In contrast, that fallen angel did it without a second thought.

“When devils do things, they pursue a pleasant mood and an unequal transaction.” Luo Feng’s gaze finally settled on Raphi. “Don’t treat devils as good people.”

“There’s a special case.” Raphi said decisively.

“That’s why she went to heaven. Hell isn’t suitable for her. It doesn’t have an environment for her to survive. Even I can’t stand that hateful holy light.” Luo Feng looked at the screen again. “Tell me your intention. You’re not here to reminisce, are you?”

At this point, it was Raphi’s turn to be delighted.

“With the reform of the hell system, all devils have to work. Lord Belphegor directly chose to retire due to being too lazy and randomly selected a devil as his agent…”

“I, the devil who was randomly selected, have nine pairs of angel wings hanging in my home.” Luo Feng said calmly. “In Lord Belphegor’s interview, he would definitely choose the first interviewee to be his agent because he’s too lazy to choose. What do you think I relied on to be first? The kindness of other devils?”

Raphi rummaged around and took out a folder from her cleavage. She opened it on her own, took out the papers inside, and handed them to Luo Feng. “So, the fallen angel you admire wants to compete for the position of this Lord.”

Luo Feng raised his eyebrows. “A newly fallen angel wants to compete for the position of a Lord?”

“Times have changed.” Raphi sighed. “In the past, hell and heaven would never interact. They would start a war as soon as they met. But now it’s different. Everyone minds their own business and develops peacefully. After all, a war between heaven and hell benefits no one.”

“This is the position of a Lord.” Luo Feng sneered. “Gabriel’s kind heart hasn’t disappeared, and she still wants to be a devil?”

He was referring to the name of that fallen angel.

“This is a compromise from hell.” Raphi said, “Don’t forget, your Vignette(2)* from hell became an archangel. I’m not here to negotiate. I’m here to notify. Laziness among the Seven Lords is symbolic. It seems that there’s no need to do too many things a devil should do. As long as I help her, Gabriel is fully capable of competing.”

Luo Feng showed a meaningful smile. “Whatever, I don’t care about competition. When you fall and become one of us, I’ll press you under me and make you my exclusive succubus. What grudge do you have against them to send you to notify me? Believe it or not, I’ll pluck your bird feathers clean. The most heaven can do is strongly condemn it.”

“It’s not like I decided this.” Raphi showed a pitiful expression.

“You want to reason with a devil?” Luo Feng sneered and grabbed Raphi’s shoulder, his gaze sweeping over her buttocks.
