Chapter 26: A serious person playing a raising simulation game would definitely choose Matsumoto Ran
"Not bad, not bad, it's just a pity it's missing a maid."
Shen Yi looked at Shiba Isshin beside him with a regretful expression, then glanced at his new mansion.
He did consider bringing Hisana over as a maid, but on one hand, he was afraid that she would be affected by the Shinigami's spiritual pressure, and on the other hand, he was afraid that she would miss out on Kuchiki Byakuya because of it—come to think of it, Kuchiki Byakuya is still a mischievous kid, isn't he?
This residence is a typical Japanese-style building, with blue tiles and white walls. There is a small courtyard in front of the door, where an unidentified tree grows. Under the tree, bluestone slabs are laid, and fine moss grows between the stones.
The house is quite large, divided into a main hall, bedrooms, study, reception room, and a separate tea room. There is a small pond in the backyard with clear water where you can see several koi swimming.
If Shiba hadn't brought it up, Shen Yi would have completely forgotten that the land in Seireitei was not just incredibly valuable, it was practically a place only nobles could afford.
In Seireitei, ordinary Shinigami can only live in the squad's barracks, which are communal dormitories.
Unless you are a core member with nine or more seats, you are eligible for a single room or to apply for separate accommodation outside the team barracks. Only those with three seats can be allocated an apartment, but that's just a shared apartment. Only the vice-captain and captain are eligible to be assigned a separate mansion.
Of course, nobles are an exception. They own independent mansions that have been passed down through generations, and they can even open various shops and have servants that they can bring into Seireitei.
As a transmigrator, Shen Yi naturally has many secrets, especially since he needs to do some small research. He's really not used to not having his own residence, so from this point of view, becoming the team leader is actually the wisest choice.
In the days that followed, Shen Yi first got to know the members of the 10th Division, and then gave Shiba Isshin more responsibilities and trained his work ability—after all, he had done the same thing when the 10th Division didn't have a captain.
Other captains would occasionally visit him, especially Kyoraku Shunsui and Yoruichi, who would drag him to izakayas for a good time every few days.
Shen Yi naturally accepted all offers. With his internal strength, he was perfectly capable of drinking without getting drunk, so why would he be afraid of them forcing him to drink?
Of course, besides drinking with him and commissioning articles, Yoruichi also frequently challenged him to sparring sessions, clearly showing her interest in Shen Yi's instant-coaxing techniques.
Shen Yi naturally wouldn't directly tell Yoruichi about the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" technique, which allowed him to gain a foothold in Soul Society. At most, he would discuss his martial arts moves with Yoruichi and ask her for guidance on Kido.
As a genius who can combine Kido and Hakuda, Yoruichi's Kido talent is naturally not bad, and Shen Yi, who has a ten-core brain, has a learning progress that leaves Yoruichi dumbfounded.
As the two sparred from time to time, Shen Yi learned that although Yoruichi had already developed Shunko, she had not yet developed Raijin Battle Form or Raiju Battle Form. Shen Yi suspected that this might be because both of these forms would cause her clothes to burst open, and Urahara Kisuke had not yet created underwear that could withstand such an explosion.
Shen Yi was also very interested in Shun Hong, so he began to study how to load Shun Hong onto his "Floating Silver Dragon".
With this armor, he didn't have to worry about the Kido explosion blowing him into the sky, and the characteristics of the Zanpakuto meant he didn't have to worry about the transmission of spiritual pressure. He could use the entire Elegant Silver Dragon armor set as easily as he moved his own limbs.
Unfortunately, Yoruichi wouldn't let Shen Yi use this move during their practice session—it was too unfair.
In response, Shen Yi retaliated by refusing to write novels!
He'd figured it out. Guys like Kyoraku Shunsui who spent their days drinking and carousing were beneath Yamamoto's notice, as long as they didn't break the rules. What was wrong with him writing some entertaining little stories?
The only thing he's afraid of is losing his chance to find a partner in Seireitei after his identity is exposed, but that's not a big problem. Shinigami have long lifespans, and if pushed too far, he can still play the role of a nurturing partner.
Incidentally, he also asked Shiba Isshin to help find Rukia. He estimated that they should be able to find her in a while. Given Rukia's "thief-like" style, it should be quite easy to find her with a specific location.
Well, it's definitely not because he wants to play a simulation game. A proper person who wants to play a simulation game would definitely go to Matsumoto Rangiku!
He had actually considered passing on the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" to Fei Zhen, but after thinking it over, he gave up.
The reason is simple: if such a technique, which can supposedly destroy the foundation of Shinigami and Quincy and make ordinary souls stronger, were to be exposed, he would probably end up like Mayuri Kurotsuchi, imprisoned in the Soul Hive—the Soul Hive is for Shinigami who are innocent but "dangerous" to the Soul Society.
However, when the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" was mentioned, he thought of Ye Zhou Tong Sheng.
This seemingly young and beautiful female captain pioneered the theory of "temporary souls," which involves infusing food with souls to enhance the spiritual pressure of the Shinigami (death god).
If Shen Yi's technique is to forcibly extract spiritual energy from food, then Yizhou Tongsheng's "temporary soul" is to forcibly imbue food with spiritual energy.
Therefore, consuming this type of food will slightly increase the Shinigami's spiritual pressure—the reason it is described as "slightly" is because she has not yet been promoted to the Zero Division and has not been strengthened and transformed into the "King Key Skeleton" by the Soul King Palace, so she naturally cannot create food that can significantly increase spiritual pressure.
In some ways, this operation is similar to Shen Yi transforming his Zanpakuto into a dragon spirit—except that Shen Yi "ate" his own Zanpakuto.
He originally intended to take a few Zanpakuto, since as a Shinigami, sacrifice is inevitable—just like Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto was picked up from the ground, so taking a few shouldn't be difficult for him.
But he soon discovered that even a shallow strike without a starting release, as long as it was handed to a student, already began to have its own consciousness.
This presents a challenge for Shen Yi. Having his own consciousness means having thoughts that aren't his own. Leaving aside the difficulty of modifying him, if he were to absorb those thoughts, and if those shallow-minded individuals were even more insane, wouldn't he also go insane?
Therefore, he could only turn his attention to Hikifune Kiryu and try to see if he could facilitate the establishment of the Technology Development Bureau. After all, he was a researcher now and needed a laboratory.
"Spirit rice?"
Yizhou Tongsheng was tall and curvaceous, with the fabric at her chest stretched taut. Her eyes lit up when she heard Shen Yi's words.
Her "temporary soul" technique essentially molds spirit particles into a "false soul," rather than actually creating a soul. What truly constitutes "soul creation" is the Gikonmaru series, which Kisuke Urahara developed based on her theories.
Shen Yi suggested that instead of temporarily bestowing the soul upon the prepared food, it would be better to directly bestow it upon the growing plant, thereby strengthening the plant itself and obtaining rice with a higher content of spiritual particles.
"Wouldn't that require a long time and a lot of money?"
Although Yizhou Tongsheng was very tempted, she quickly realized that this was not something she and Shen Yi could accomplish on their own.
"Of course, so my idea is to propose to Captain-Commander Yamamoto the establishment of a Technology Development Bureau, which would be managed by the Twelfth Division."
