Chapter 157: Bidding, the Ripple of Killing Intent! (4k Third Update,)

As Tao Baibai called out to 【show】, the gazes of the others finally focused on the protagonist of today's event—Tao Baibai.

The several mages from the 【Far East Magic Society】 were seeing Tao Baibai for the first time, and at this moment, they frowned as they sized up this newly risen Fierce Person.

Rumor had it that the other party had not only thwarted that 【Bai Mian】, who possessed bizarre abilities and a vile personality, causing him to suffer a great loss, but also caused 【Kai】, who was highly regarded by many Title-level Reincarnators, along with the final core members of the 【Fifth Element】, to die in the 【Jujutsu World】.

Recently, there were also rumors that 【E Tong】 and 【Jie Bo】, guys who were also notorious among low-rank Reincarnators, had been killed, and the perpetrator was none other than this Tao Baibai.

Snow Witch rubbed her brow, feeling that her Spirit was somewhat irritated by the strange appearance of the Avatar the other party was using, and she guessed in her heart that this guy was likely truly mentally abnormal.

But Reincarnators were not a normal group to begin with; among these guys with peculiar thought processes, some incredible individuals often appeared.

Combining this with the recent rumors, Snow Witch also held Tao Baibai in higher regard; she took the initiative to stand up and revealed a smile.

"Tao Baibai, is it? You certainly kept us waiting."

Bai Cangshu turned his head and saw the woman whose Avatar was very conspicuous; before he could speak, 【Black Butler】 had already used spatial information to remind him.

【tt65562877 (Black Butler) sent a message: Snow Witch is the number three figure of the Far East Magic Society; rumor has it she has already entered the third Ladder.】

Bai Cangshu glanced at Black Butler, whose expression was calm, as if he were not the person who had spent Dimension Points just to remind him, fearing he might do something inappropriate.

Heh, what a cautious Black Butler indeed.

Bai Cangshu shrugged; he did not tease the crystals on the other party's skin, but he did not show too much respect either, simply saying:

"I said half an hour later; there is plenty of time. It is you who came early."

He arrived before the Stall and saw Rose Tiger sitting in mid-air with legs crossed; this sitting posture indicated that the other party's control over his center of gravity had exceeded the limit of what an ordinary human could achieve.

The related specialization level was likely extremely high.

Furthermore, it also meant... the other party was someone who liked to show off their skills.

It wasn't to say that guys who liked to show off and act flashy in front of others weren't strong, just that under equal strength, people with this mindset were always easier to deal with.

Bai Cangshu smiled and walked around the other party without greeting him; he looked at the Stall again, and there were no additional bids.

He figured it was because this group of people was blocking the Stall, making it impossible for other Reincarnators to properly examine the goods.

Seeing this, he waved his hand, aimed his Samsara Mark at everyone one by one, and invited the others into his Private Space.

Normally, to invite other Reincarnators into one's space or to apply to enter another's, one must know the other party's ID number, but if a Stall existed and both parties had engaged in bidding, one could use this channel to invite them directly.

This was also the reason why everyone was blocking the front of the Stall.

The next moment, rays of light lit up one after another, and the bustling area in front of the Stall instantly became Empty.

Bai Cangshu's Private Space was not small, but it was completely empty; Snow Witch only had to take one look to know that Tao Baibai was indeed a Fierce Person—with this kind of space, the number of Reincarnators who had died at his hands was likely quite high.

It was just that... the other party's Private Space had no decorations at all, making it impossible to peek at his preferences; the layout of a Private Space could often reveal a Reincarnator's mindset and mental state.

For example, a Reincarnator who felt quite repressed and miserable in the space would tend to set their Private Space to an open scene like the ocean;

For example, a Reincarnator with an impatient temperament would likely set their Private Space to a scene very convenient for pleasure-seeking.

Although this connection was not absolute, Reincarnators would record bits and pieces of information about each other, especially for someone like Tao Baibai, who had high potential and might very well grow up to clash with others in the future.

Bai Cangshu seemed not to notice anything; with a mere thought, many chairs appeared. The type of chair was also completely devoid of preference—fabric sofas, all identical in color and shape.

After signaling for everyone to sit, he sat directly in front, and with a flash of light in his hand, 【Compound V】 appeared.

"Everyone actually knows what this is. As for you all, some only need one vial, while others want to buy the whole lot; the prices are also worlds apart. Therefore, I hope to conduct an open auction."

Bai Cangshu explained simply, and the others also withdrew their gazes from Bai Cangshu's Private Space one after another. In their view, this Tao Baibai acted very seasoned; he had likely used other 【Avatars】 before.

A flash of light appeared in Snow Witch's hand, and a strangely shaped fruit appeared.

A Devil Fruit!

The appearance of this item caused several people to reveal troubled expressions; faced with such a treasure, ordinary items and bids had almost no competitive power.

Bai Cangshu, however, noticed that this fruit was oval-shaped, peach-colored, and covered in many diamond-shaped patterns; with his memory, he couldn't find any fruit with this pattern that had appeared in the original work.

It was highly likely a Devil Fruit that had not appeared in the original work.

"Our 【Far East Magic Society】's bid remains unchanged. We are willing to use this Devil Fruit to exchange for all 10 vials of the serum, with no additional trades."

Snow Witch's offer was actually quite fair. At this moment, even Black Butler took the opportunity to wipe his glasses to calm his mood.

In any normal trade, once a Devil Fruit appeared, there was basically no suspense left in the result, especially for a pure barter trade like this that didn't require you to compensate with Singularity Dimension Points.

Although Compound V could allow you to awaken some kind of ability, this mutation came with risks and was unstable; there was a significant possibility of negative enhancement. Even without negative mutations, just like the many Ability Users in the Heipao Shijie, powerful abilities still followed a distribution law and appeared very rarely.

The vast majority of people's abilities were those that could not cause strong interference in combat.

But Devil Fruits were different; this was a secret treasure that, while making you fear seawater and the power of the ocean, almost 100% guaranteed you a significant boost.

Just like in the Pirate World, possessing a Devil Fruit ability gave one a high probability of surpassing ordinary Pirates and becoming an Elite Pirate.

If one happened to draw a Logia, excluding the "shames of Logia" like Snow Woman Monet or Caribou the Wet-Haired, one would likely leap into becoming a powerhouse.

Seeing Snow Witch's bid, the others did not continue to bid for a while, waiting for Tao Baibai's response.

Bai Cangshu, after examining this Devil Fruit, changed the subject.

"Although it hasn't been appraised, you must have performed divination on this fruit, right? I think... this is definitely not a Logia Devil Fruit, is it?"

Behind Snow Witch, a man also wearing a white stand-collar uniform frowned and said:

"Tao Baibai, you have crossed the line."

In a trade, asking such a question was no different from nakedly testing the other party's bottom line; Bai Cangshu's behavior appeared quite unruly.

But Bai Cangshu didn't care and just shrugged.

"It seems I guessed right."

"Continue bidding."

He shifted his gaze, which made Snow Witch's expression sink somewhat, but she quickly looked at Rose Tiger and Black Butler, who had been standing beside Rose Tiger. There were rumors in the space that Black Butler and Tao Baibai had collaborated quite a bit.

"So, actually, there is a bid now that is equivalent in value to my Devil Fruit, which is why you are so confident..."

Just as Rose Tiger was about to speak, the gorgeous woman whose cheongsam was slit almost to her waist casually threw away her cigarette; as the cigarette hit the ground, it was instantly erased by a thick green light.

Amidst Rose Tiger's ugly expression, 【Flower Fairy】 insisted on making a bid.

"Tao Baibai, I would like to use 3 B-rank Singularities, one Three-Tomoe Sharingan, plus one chance for me to unconditionally follow your orders. Of course, this order cannot threaten my own life. With these three costs combined, how about exchanging for all 10 vials of your serum?!"

The woman's opening words made everyone present freeze.

To a certain extent, this offer already had some value overflow.

The value of three B-rank Singularity definitely exceeded three vials of serum; placed on the market, it was worth nearly 4.5 vials, and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan was likewise a "hit product" that would cause a sensation the moment it appeared in the Shanty Town.

Its inherent value was already very high; adding these two together, the value was already equivalent or slightly higher, but this woman had also added herself.

A Reincarnator in the Second Tier who was most troublesome in the fields of Spirit, curse-corrosion, and summoning, unconditionally taking orders.

There were no idiots present whose brains were clouded by lust; no one thought this woman meant selling her body. In fact, a Reincarnator's body did not have such high value at all.

This woman was selling her combat power!

With Tao Baibai's strength and ferocity, once she obtained the help of 【Flower Fairy】, hunting down some 【Strong】 tier Reincarnators would be a complete breeze, which was another quite considerable income.

"You've gone too far, Flower Fairy!"

Rose Tiger stood up, accompanied by intense energy fluctuations; he looked like a beast about to lose control.

Flower Fairy looked back at the tiger, her expression resolute.

"Boss Tiger, you shouldn't stop us from moving toward a better future; you will only tie us all to that woman's ship and sink together."

The conflict between the two, accompanied by the internal split of 【Garou Legend】, could no longer be concealed.

Bai Cangshu whistled flippantly, a gesture that made Rose Tiger look at him with eyes like a Demon.

Bai Cangshu, however, was sizing up the figure under Flower Fairy's cheongsam, and after clicking his tongue twice, he said,

"Not a bad offer, continue."

He still had not agreed to this trade, which made the others smell the scent of holding out for a better price.

【Show】 had already realized that today's trade had become a stage for competition between these teams and those Title-level Reincarnators who hadn't shown their faces, leaving no room for him to make a bid, so he didn't think about closing a deal at this moment, just saying casually,

"My price hasn't changed: 1 B-rank Singularity for 1 vial of Compound V."

Bai Cangshu nodded; this price was appropriate. If it were normal times, he would have already completed this trade.

The subsequent few lone wolves made their offers one after another, but compared to these people, the prices were completely incomparable, the type that even if Bai Cangshu split the ten vials of serum and sold them one by one, they couldn't match the others' bundle price.

Bai Cangshu didn't speak either; with a thought, the few of them were kicked out of his Private Space.

"Tsk, they've already come here and won't even temporarily raise their bids; what a waste of time."

Bai Cangshu's actions made the few of them raise their eyebrows.

Direct, wild, unpretentious, completely indifferent to external things, a madman focused solely on power and battle...

These were the impressions and labels that Tao Baibai had left them with today.

Bai Cangshu finally looked at Rose Tiger; this pink-haired man, in Bai Cangshu's view, was somewhat similar to that Wave Fist user at the end of his rope in the Jujutsu World.

Both had the look of someone exhausted by various matters and unable to focus completely.

He guessed that this kind of person was perhaps at their weakest right now.

Even with an extremely high specialization level, attributes that had stepped into the Second Tier, and unknown high-level abilities, if the heart was no longer firm, there was no possibility of winning in a battle that truly concerned life and death.

Although Rose Tiger was annoyed by Tao Baibai's behavior, he knew even more clearly in his heart that he had to snatch this deal now, otherwise 【Flower Fairy】 could almost complete an "army of one" using those 10 vials of serum, and he would never be able to suppress the other party again.

The 【Garou Legend】 team was based on the strong suppressing everything, so even if those members wanted to leave the team, they had to obtain Rose Tiger's consent. At this moment, Rose Tiger sensed Flower Fairy's ambition and could not back down at all.

He sank his face, and a light flashed in his hand; an Ability Scroll shining with a rich purple glow appeared in his hand.

Afterward, light lit up in his left hand again; it was a blood-red crystal.

【Inheritance Crystal: Killing Intent Wave】

【Quality: Rare and Peerless · Extreme】

【Description: A crystal recording the special energy system · Killing Intent Wave; use is accompanied by extreme danger】

【Usage Requirement: None】

【Effect: Accept the Killing Intent Wave into the body; Reincarnators who fail the check will encounter negative effects such as death, loss of consciousness, and being eroded by killing intent】

Combined with the 【Instant Hell Murder】 in his right hand, Rose Tiger had almost simultaneously brought out a set of top-tier Sequence ability compositions.

Although it was already marked as being accompanied by extreme danger, Reincarnators knew very well that the more power accompanied by such extreme danger, the more powerful it was.

At this moment, even Bai Cangshu stood up.

Black Butler's pupils also shrank; this was different from the trade content agreed upon earlier. It was clear that Rose Tiger had been provoked and had brought out the bottom-of-the-box treasures of the entire Garou Legend team.

His expression was as gloomy as water; either of these two items, if taken out individually, was a powerful prop capable of making the Shanty Town boil. If they appeared together, it was almost destined to suffer crazy snatching.

It could be said that as long as he opened the bidding, those coming to snatch this set of items would definitely far exceed those coming to snatch Compound V.

Flower Fairy's face also turned ugly; she hadn't expected that Rose Tiger was not only truly willing to take out the 【Instant Hell Murder】 scroll, but had also privately obtained the 【Killing Intent Wave】 inheritance prop.

What made her even more unable to accept was that the other party taking these things out at this time was not at all to make himself stronger or to make the team better.

The other party was just stopping her...

Snow Witch watched this scene, put away her Devil Fruit, and sneered,

"It really is ugly, Garou Legend. It seems that soon, this name will disappear from the Second Tier."

She turned directly and exited Bai Cangshu's Private Space, having no intention of becoming a tool for Tao Baibai's bargaining. She knew that with Rose Tiger taking out these two items, unless she really took out a Logia or those more bugged Paramecia Devil Fruits,

otherwise, there would be no chance.
