Inside 【The In-Between Bookstore】.
"Shopkeeper, I have a question for you."
"Hm?"
"That is, why am I a bookstore employee but have to wear a maid outfit?"
"Is this place a maid café?"
Gabriel's current appearance was a complete transformation from the somewhat messy and unkempt look she had when she first entered the store.
Though those delicate and handsome cheeks still bore traces of fatigue and dejection.
However, this didn't detract from the beauty of the normal black and white maid outfit she was wearing.
At least.
This was a lot more appealing than the simple, dead-beat three-piece set Gabriel wore when she came to apply for the job~
Let's take a look at the current Gabriel.
The golden hair that was initially frizzy when she first entered the store had now calmed down, paired with a normal, but very flattering black and white maid outfit. Add to that the blue-grey eyes filled with exhaustion.
And the clearly unmotivated attitude.
Hmm~
Already has a strong maid vibe~
"Pretty."
After pondering for a few seconds, An Wu gave his answer to Gabriel's question.
Purely pretty. After all, in this dull shopkeeper life, where he spends his days idly fiddling and occasionally glancing at the JK beauty across the street.
Having an angel wearing a black and white maid outfit around, occasionally flashing before his eyes.
That's pretty good.
As for why he said angel, it's because the golden-haired girl in front of him is the protagonist of 【The Devil is a Part-Timer】—Angel Gabriel.
And looking at her like this, she should have already been poisoned by online games, becoming a heavy online addict.
Estimated.
Even if she managed to appear in An Wu's store to apply for a job this time, it's probably because she spent all her living expenses on online games?
"But..."
"With Xiao Zhen Zhu now, and another angel by my side, am I actually some kind of angel-attracting constitution?"
An Wu rubbed his chin stubble, somewhat self-doubting.
...
“.......”
Gabriel dejectedly lowered her smooth, golden head.
She really didn't know how to refute this reason.
Whatever, she'll wear it.
And she didn't know if it was Gabriel's illusion, but she felt like wearing this maid outfit was somehow more comfortable than the deep green dead-beat two-piece set she had just worn?
Hmm?
Maybe she awakened something strange?
...
"Alright, go to work."
"Your task is very simple, just tidy up those books that customers have left in a mess on the bookshelf, and take a look at the hygiene of the store."
"If you're done with all that, there are some snacks over there you can have. Of course, you can also read some books."
An Wu comfortably reclined back onto his exclusive shopkeeper mini-couch.
This is the advantage of being a shopkeeper.
He has the right to freely recruit cute angel employees to wear maid outfits, not to mention he can leave all the tedious and boring work to the employees~
And he just needs to lie there and watch the employees work in peace~
Really.
This is the life a shopkeeper should have~
...
"That..."
Gabriel heard that she could still rest, and even rest longer if she finished work early.
Her dejected gaze brightened slightly.
"Can you use a computer to go online here?"
"If there's no computer, I can bring my own!"
...
An Wu waved his hand.
"You can, just don't let it interfere with work."
He knew with his knee what this fallen little angel Gabriel was going to do online.
But he didn't care.
As for whether he should pull Gabriel back on the right track, that's not something he needs to consider~
...
"You're so nice, Shopkeeper!"
Gabriel took a deep breath, suddenly feeling like she had found her dream part-time job!
The pay is not only high here, but there are snacks to eat, and you can even play games online while working!
Compared to that.
That maid outfit seems, more acceptable!
"Then you rest first, Shopkeeper, I'm going to work!"
Gabriel's enthusiasm for work increased visibly.
...
An Wu just waved his hand.
He didn't say anything else.
Because the moment Gabriel left to work, the black myth popup window popped up again.
【You tricked the current world's lucky protagonist 【Naive·Gabriel·White】 into willingly putting on a maid outfit——Gain 60 minutes of game experience time】
【Congratulations on triggering a critical hit】
【Your equipment One Hundred Plays Money Clothes gains an effect bonus】
【Effect——Blazing Fire】
【One Hundred Plays Money Clothes：When equipped with One Hundred Plays Money Clothes, you will be engulfed in flames, the flames will burn enemies that deal damage to you】
...
"As expected of an angel."
"The loot dropped is just amazing."
An Wu knew that interacting with Gabriel would definitely drop good loot, after all, Gabriel's identity and strength and status were there.
He even wanted to keep Gabriel around for this reason.
But he really didn't expect the loot to be so good.
Sixty minutes of game experience time in one go, and adding effects to equipment, these were things An Wu had never seen before!
Especially the effect bonus added to equipment, you know, in the world of Black Myth, many pieces of equipment have their unique effect abilities, and these abilities are extremely powerful, often the key to defeating demon kings!
And the One Hundred Plays Money Clothes, as the luxurious initial equipment, had no effect abilities.
That is to say.
Even though it's such a cool outfit, you can't wear it for long, you have to switch it out.
This was also a point that An Wu was somewhat regretful about when he played Black Myth.
"It seems the Hundred Plays Set should be able to be worn for a while longer, at least until I finish off the new Ling Xu Zi, I don't have to switch it out."
If An Wu remembers correctly.
The weakness of that demon king Ling Xu Zi was that he had a lot of hair and was afraid of fire, which was perfectly countered by the 【Blazing Fire】 effect.
Even more exaggerated, this is simply the equipment effect designed to defeat Ling Xu Zi!
...
"Hmm, Ling Xu Zi still needs to be remembered from experience."
"The reason I could defeat that big-headed doll so easily before, was because of the high damage burst from comprehending the death line."
"It allowed the big-headed doll to lose many opportunities to play tricks, so I could defeat it so extremely."
"But Ling Xu Zi is different, he's fast, attacks fast, can choose to be disgusting with his fast and slow attacks, and a variety of skills, and is the first demon king to appear in Black Myth."
"Have to be careful."
An Wu propped his chin, his eyes calm, without any urgency.
After all, he was very calm after being tortured by the big-headed doll ghost for the past two months.
But even though defeating Ling Xu Zi needs to be carefully planned, he still has to go home tonight and collect the big-headed doll ghost's essence that he has been grinding for so long.
After all, this is the powerful loot that he worked so hard for!
...
An Wu was thinking about this.
It was just the time when Zongwu High School let out for the afternoon.
He looked out the window habitually, and soon saw a figure running towards him from the crowd of students outside the store.
Flaxen hair, the exclusive JK uniform of Zongwu High, it was the little angel Zhen Zhu who had just gotten out of school!
And coincidentally.
As soon as the little angel Zhen Zhu entered the bookstore, she bumped into another angel, Gabriel, who had just finished organizing the shelves!
At this moment.
Miraculously, two little angels met, their big eyes staring at each other~

The data seems to have stopped moving, please support the data!
I'll keep updating!
ps: I saw the comment about the mask reflecting power, let me explain, the mask doesn't seal the protagonist's power, the protagonist can use all his power at any time, just treat it as a tool to switch fighting forms, after all, that's very cool, isn't it?
As for the rest of the Seventy-Two Transformations, steel bones and iron bones passives, etc., I will explain them gradually later.
