Chapter 36: Ghost-Slaying Fist, Activated

【Kusanagi Kyo's Glove · Right】

【Quality: Silver Plot Equipment (Set)】

【Description: A glove worn by the Kusanagi-style fighting master Kusanagi Kyo, stained with crimson flames】

【Effect 1: Manipulate crimson flames; attacking while wearing this glove can generate crimson flames】

【Effect 2: Unarmed-type mastery additionally increased by Lv3】

【Effect 3: Hidden】

……

The appearance of this piece of equipment caused a small stir in the Peng Hu East District. Silver Plot Equipment is rare to begin with, and this was even a set item; furthermore, the versatility of this item's effects was extremely high. Unarmed-type mastery covers almost all types of physical combat—bare-handed strikes, fighting, martial arts, etc. —all of which could receive the bonus.

Therefore, even Bai Cangshu, who was somewhat pressed for time, stopped in his tracks.

The owner of the stall was a chestnut-haired woman wearing a black and white maid outfit. This disguised appearance was extremely exquisite. She held a coffee cup in her hands, appearing not to be in a hurry at all, and was calmly rejecting offers from others.

"This item only accepts trades for items of equal value, or offers starting from a minimum of a B-Rank Singularity."

The woman's voice was calm, her eyelids lowered, possessing quite an air of nobility.

Bai Cangshu frowned. Because of his previous experience with Evans's divination, he had begun to unconsciously pay attention to coincidental things.

For instance, he happened to have a B-Rank Singularity in his Backpack at this very moment.

Therefore, he thought for a moment and turned to leave. This item was very popular; even a B-Rank Singularity might not be enough to secure it. Rather than wasting time, it was better to find a way to offload the things in his Backpack that he currently had no use for.

【Desert Eagle · Infinite Ammo Version】

【Quality: White】

【Description: A classic model of the Infinite Space; this is a work by Master Li Shuaixi】

【Higher power, average rate of fire】

Tch, Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that there were indeed many people in the Reincarnation Space with worrying mental states. Whether it was this alchemist's own code name or this weapon, both were full of "homage" implications.

This look of his made the stall owner think he had encountered someone who was on the same wavelength, and he perked up.

This Li Shuaixi did indeed have an ordinary appearance. He looked at Bai Cangshu and said, "Looks like you're a fellow fan too. How about it? Coming to a ghost place like the Infinite Space, how can you not have a Desert Eagle with infinite ammo?"

"For the sake of a fellow fan, I'll only charge you 2000 Dimension Points."

The price was indeed not very expensive, but Bai Cangshu already had the blue 【Doom Knocking】. If he traded for this Desert Eagle, he would probably have to practice Shooting Mastery as well.

Bai Cangshu shook his head, and suddenly a flash of light appeared in his hand as he took something out.

"Since we are fellow fans, I imagine you won't be able to resist the temptation of using dual-wielded Gauss pistols to perform Gun-Fu in the future, right? How about it, start with a Dual-Wielding Weapon Mastery Scroll?"

What he held was that 【Dual-Wielding Weapon Mastery Scroll】. This thing wasn't worth much, but after all, it could unlock a mastery, which was still much better than Consumables or weapons without special effects.

Li Shuaixi didn't expect someone to be peddling items at his own stall, and a "fellow Infinite Horror fan" at that.

And coincidentally, he did have a tendency to develop in the direction of dual-wielding weapons; he recently had an opportunity to obtain a job-change opportunity for the 【Roaming Gunner】 Sequence.

Therefore, Li Shuaixi just coughed and accepted, saying, "3000 Dimension Points, how about it? This kind of mastery scroll isn't particularly Rare."

Bai Cangshu didn't know what the specific price was, but he still shook his head. This was a basic negotiation tactic: you must reject the other party's first offer.

Li Shuaixi clicked his tongue secretly and was about to continue haggling.

Bai Cangshu, however, pointed at the items in his stall and said,

"I want this 【High-Speed Hemostatic Spray】 and 【High-Explosive Grenade】, two sets of each, how about it?"

Li Shuaixi was a staunch 【Technology-side】 Reincarnator. He felt that those Reincarnators who spent their early stages learning various martial arts or even special abilities were all idiots.

When a single shot could do the job, why risk huge danger to go up and trade blows with those Plot Characters?

Your strength is over ten, a punch of a thousand pounds, how impressive, you can break a thin tree trunk with one punch.

But one high-explosive grenade from me can cause devastating damage to enemies within a radius of nearly ten meters.

Therefore, he not only specialized his Private Space but also paid people to purchase quite a lot of blueprints.

He was a Special Reincarnator who made a living using his "manufacturing ability."

He looked at the items on his stall. Although the total value of these two sets of items, if sold separately, should exceed 5000 points, for him, the cost was not high after all.

This trade was not a loss.

【You have obtained Item · High-Explosive Grenade *3, High-Speed Hemostatic Spray *2】

【You have lost Item · Dual-Wielding Weapon Mastery Scroll】……

【Please return to the Private Space immediately; the mission deployment is about to begin】

Bai Cangshu happened to be prepared, so with a thought, he returned to the Private Space.

【3……】

【2……】

【1……】

【Deployment starting……】

A massive stream of white information surged out from the Private Space in an instant, completely drowning Bai Cangshu's consciousness.

Bai Cangshu stood where he was; his brain was unable to even think due to the massive amount of information, and he didn't even notice the transition of time and space.

It was unknown how much time had passed—perhaps an instant, perhaps longer—when Bai Cangshu suddenly opened his eyes. The rich fragrance of flowers made him frown.

The sky was dim, with only a few specks of dusky sunlight still hanging on the horizon.

All around were deep forests. The trees were generally seven or eight meters tall with dense branches and leaves, making the woods appear even more quiet and secluded. The ground was covered in dry, rotten fallen leaves; if not for the rich fragrance of flowers, this place might have been exceptionally foul-smelling.

Bai Cangshu stood up and noticed several other figures around, each maintaining a distance of several meters from the others.

Is this a multi-person mission this time?

Caw!

Caw!

As night fell, many crows let out harsh cries, circling as they flew off into the distance.

"Tsk, these Japanese people love designing crows; their cawing is annoying."

At this moment, someone spoke up. Bai Cangshu looked toward the other party and only saw a tall figure wearing a bamboo hat, standing with their back to Bai Cangshu, a Tachi slung at their waist.

The other few people also looked at the person who spoke first, but they did not greet each other.

Bai Cangshu noticed that there were seven people in the area including himself; four of them were standing in pairs, seemingly having entered as a team, while the man in the bamboo hat, Bai Cangshu, and a young woman wearing black-rimmed glasses were all solo travelers.

The few people glanced at each other a few times, and the solo woman moved quietly to the side of Bai Cangshu and the man in the bamboo hat, vaguely forming a standoff.

Just at this moment, information began to scroll before his eyes.

……

Bai Cangshu pursed his lips. It was actually the world of Demon Slayer. He felt the Ripple Qigong within his body, and his expression became somewhat strange.

"Demon Slayer, the world difficulty isn't high. Good thing I bought two 【Slave Shackles】; I can earn quite a lot this time."

At this time, a pair of Reincarnators standing at the furthest distance from Bai Cangshu spoke as if no one else were around, even whistling.

Bai Cangshu also revealed a smile.

Yes, it's great, this world.
