Chapter 82: Special Equipment, Biological Colonization (4k for subscriptions)
【Your Constitution has increased, current: 14】
Bai Cangshu consumed nearly 6,000 Dimension Points to successfully raise his Constitution by another point; upon returning to his dormitory, he had entered a rare state of exhaustion.
But Bai Cangshu, who had begun to feel that the gym in the real world was no longer effective, had indeed found the feeling of training to become stronger once again through that Training Institute.
He felt that if there were infinite resources, perhaps the potential of the human body would far exceed what many people imagined.
Beep, beep.
Bai Cangshu's phone rang; he picked it up to take a look, and it was actually from that police officer named Song Xian.
The other party was a Reincarnator, without a doubt; Bai Cangshu's mind was sharp, and he knew that the other party calling at this time instead of visiting in person proved that the other party did not have any further suspicions about him.
"Hello, Officer Song?"
Song Xian sat in his office, finally feeling his mind relax; just a moment ago, he had received news that the last Dangerous Grade target, "Loli God," had also left Binhai City for Haidai, and Binhai had finally calmed down again.
In his heart, he only felt that the appearance of that Black Card in Haidai had come at just the right time.
As for Bai Cangshu, he had learned from Luoshui that Bai Cangshu had also gone to Haidai to participate in an International Marathon and had achieved a decent result in the top one hundred.
Song Xian did not suspect Bai Cangshu because of this, as the scene of the incident in Haidai was quite tragic, with a suspected Reincarnator possessing Bloodline abilities having died.
And Bai Cangshu, all things considered, had only been under observation for a little over a week because of the Chu Qi incident.
Song Xian felt that even if Bai Cangshu were a Reincarnator, he would not have reached this point so rapidly without leaving the campus and being under observation.
"I heard you went to participate in a race; your performance was not bad?"
Bai Cangshu automatically filtered out this meaningless opening, perfunctorily saying,
"Yeah, it was alright."
Song Xian thought for a moment and said,
"There have been some leads on Chu Qi's case recently; our observation of you might continue for another few weeks. It will be hard on you, Student Bai, for this period."
Bai Cangshu pretended not to know what had happened; he was very clear that that card which had lost its effect could at most divert attention for a while, and once this observation period ended, it would be best for him to change locations.
Perhaps, finding a job out of town during his junior year would be a good reason.
"If you encounter any strange people or things recently, remember to contact me or Luoshui immediately; Binhai City has not been peaceful lately."
Bai Cangshu followed Song Xian's arrangements and agreed to them one by one.
After Song Xian hung up the phone, he looked at the birds flying outside the window, but suddenly realized one thing.
Logically speaking, Song Xian indeed did not suspect him, so in his eyes, he was just an ordinary person who was not a Reincarnator.
But according to the current space rules, it is known that if Reincarnators fight and die in the real world, turning into a Scarlet Drop Card, their existence and all personal information will be erased by the space, and the cognition of ordinary people will be hindered, no longer having memories of the other party.
Then, why would Song Xian, who is a Reincarnator, speak of the dead Chu Qi to him, whom he views as an ordinary person?
There is only one answer: in Song Xian's eyes, ordinary people will still remember Chu Qi.
Tsk, there is a problem... behind this matter.
Bai Cangshu tapped his arm, and after a while, he went downstairs to eat as usual, then went to the gym in the commercial street across the way to exercise, and attended classes at school in the afternoon.
Occasionally rejecting some "face-obsessed" junior students who approached him without knowing any better.
For several days in a row.
Bai Cangshu's campus daily life was dull and tedious.
He had long been accustomed to this kind of daily life, but with the Infinite Dimensional Space, Bai Cangshu found himself increasingly unable to endure it.
He looked at the passing students, his breathing unconsciously becoming long and steady; the physical structures of these ordinary people became clear in his perception in an instant.
Frail bodies, loose bone density; perhaps he only needed a light punch to shatter these guys' internal organs, and if his Force were a bit more refined, faking a cardiogenic sudden death would not be a difficult thing to accomplish.
Bai Cangshu walked on campus, his thoughts slightly drifting and fluttering; when a human begins to gradually transcend the shackles of humanity, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to identify with others.
Over time, empathy will weaken or even dissipate, eventually becoming a complete Outlier.
Fortunately, Bai Cangshu had endured such a daily life since he was almost a child; he had already begun to get used to lying low.
Bai Cangshu returned to the dormitory and began to use iron sand to train his limbs again.
He had Xiao Ning buy another bucket of iron sand and place it in the dormitory so that he could train at every moment.
He plunged his hands into the iron sand abruptly, his hands instantly turning red, but he completely ignored this pain, striking again and again.
The practice of Kaiwan Style is very close to the arduous training of Ripple Qigong; this kind of self-mutilating practice can simultaneously improve his limb strength and the practice of Ripple Qigong.
Bai Cangshu could clearly feel that his Ripple Qigong was still improving rapidly, and the healing speed for his palm injuries was much faster than before.
Even if he hasn't reached level 5 now, Bai Cangshu believes he will soon touch that boundary.
【Attention, number ex051, you will initiate a new round of space deployment in 1 hour; please confirm the safety of the surrounding environment in advance】
Finally, Bai Cangshu waited for the space prompt he had been longing for; he closed the dormitory doors and windows, and with a thought,
【Return to Private Space】
Bai Cangshu always reserves 1 hour of time before entering a mission to finally adjust his state and replenish his consumption.
Because in the Demon Slayer World, he exchanged for quite a few Consumables for healing, and from Vincent, he obtained two more thermal weapons; at this time, the conventional items on him were actually quite sufficient.
【Your goods, Heartless Ghost·Doma, have received 132 offers】
Bai Cangshu returned to the stall and saw a dense amount of offers; excluding valueless Dimension Points, Consumables, etc., only 3 items remained that were valuable in Bai Cangshu's view.
【Offer: 1 C-rank Singularity, 4000 Dimension Points; Offerer: fg99952141 (Liechangren)】
【Offer: C-rank Taijutsu or Sword Art ability; Offerer: xs54154822 (Ouyang)】
【Offer: Intelligence on the Melting Tese in exchange for this head; Offerer: lt44344564 (Mu)】
The three offers were ability, Singularity, and intelligence, respectively.
Bai Cangshu tried to respond to the offers and found that the guy with the code name Mu did not seem to be in the space; of these three offers, for Bai Cangshu, this intelligence was also the most valuable.
Although Doma's head has rare options, for Bai Cangshu, there is no reason why it must be him.
And Bai Cangshu is actually not lacking in Singularities or C-rank abilities.
Although Bai Cangshu's Dimension Points have fallen to less than 2000 after using the Training Institute, he is actually quite wealthy in Singularities; 1 B-rank and 3 C-rank Singularities possess quite powerful purchasing power in the space.
As for abilities, what Bai Cangshu needed was the kind of explosive or special ability that could reinforce his current self.
Bai Cangshu was not particularly lacking in taijutsu or swordsmanship abilities.
Therefore, after leaving a message for 【Conspiracy】, Bai Cangshu left his stall and began to quickly search the Shanty Town to see if he could discover other things suitable for himself. The Reincarnation Space was a place of hedonism, and the pressure faced by Reincarnators was unimaginable even to mercenaries in the real world, so generally, if they had good items they couldn't use, they would sell them off as quickly as possible.
No one would consider the future and store up any supplies.
Therefore, almost every day, the Shanty Town of the Reincarnation Space would cause a sensation due to the appearance of various rare items and abilities.
Last time, it was 【Kusanagi Kyo's Gloves】; this time, another group of people was gathered in front of a stall.
Bai Cangshu leaned in and discovered it was an eyeball contained in a special glass vessel.
【Body Modification: Sharingan】
【Quality: Purple (Rare and Peerless)】
【Description: An eyeball from the Uchiha Clan of Naruto and its Derivative Worlds, possessing good transplant adaptability and powerful abilities.】
【Requirement: Constitution > 15, Spirit > 15】
【Effect: Hidden】
The boss was a Reincarnator wrapped head-to-toe in a gray cloak; this person stood in front of their stall, driving away those Reincarnators who couldn't afford the price but had packed the stall tightly.
!
"Those with only Dimension Points, get lost; this isn't something you can afford to look at."
"Only accepting trades for purple-grade items and abilities, or B-rank Singularities and above."
"This item is for urgent sale; I have 3 hours left before entering a mission world. If the offer is satisfactory, I will trade immediately, with no delays."
It was obvious that this Reincarnator was desperate to liquidate, which gave many people an opportunity.
There were also some people in the space skilled at speculation who would use information gaps and time gaps to make a profit.
Bai Cangshu only glanced at the eyeball once before turning to leave.
The 【Sharingan】 was indeed powerful, but for someone without massive Chakra, it was ultimately a burden; in the original work, even a genius like Kakashi could barely afford the consumption of a single Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
For the current Bai Cangshu, this thing was no different from a castle in the air—flashy but impractical.
Bai Cangshu took advantage of the fact that everyone else was watching the 【Sharingan】 and other stalls were less crowded to quickly search for things that might be useful to him.
"Tsk, so there are still rational people around~"
"Those idiots only stare at so-called rare items, not knowing they can't control them at all. Look at these onlookers; I bet you that in seven days, less than half will still be able to appear here."
A Reincarnator with a cigar in their mouth leaned against their stall and spoke familiarly to Bai Cangshu, who had looked over, but their expression changed upon seeing Bai Cangshu's face.
"What the hell is that!"
Bai Cangshu had already begun to get used to the reactions of these people seeing his artistically sculpted face; he looked at the items on the other person's stall.
【Body Modification: Spirit-Gathering Index Finger】
【Quality: Blue (Rare)】
【Description: A finger left behind after the death of a powerful psychic, possessing special effects.】
【Requirement: Spirit > 10】
【Effect 1: After equipping, Spirit will suffer erosion, Spirit -2】
【Effect 2: Gain additional Spirit Particle affinity, energy improvement speed slightly increased】
【Effect 3: Overdraw Spirit to release one Lv4-level Spirit Gun】
"How do you want to trade for this?"
The item Bai Cangshu saw was a human index finger; like the Sharingan from before, it was a special piece of equipment classified as 【Body Modification】.
This type of equipment would not be worn on the body; instead, it would be directly implanted into the Reincarnator's body, fusing with the Reincarnator's flesh or directly replacing a part of the body.
In the Infinite Dimensional Space, it counted as a very high-rarity equipment type, second only to the 【God-Forged Armament】 that common Reincarnators had only heard of.
The Reincarnator with the cigar took a few deep puffs to ease their discomfort and was not as enthusiastic toward Bai Cangshu as before.
"For this thing, don't even open your mouth if you don't have a B-rank Singularity."
"1 C-rank Singularity."
Bai Cangshu was very observant of the rules; he did indeed have a B-rank Singularity, so he made an offer, but he was unwilling to trade with a B-rank Singularity, so he offered a C-rank Singularity.
But the stall owner did not understand Bai Cangshu's logic; they frowned, waved their hand, and did not want to converse with Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu had his eye on this equipment mainly to increase his range of attacks, and he was quite interested in any item that could increase the 【Energy】 attribute.
Because he still had an A-grade 【Dodon Ray】 in his possession that he could learn.
Once he learned 【Dodon Ray】, Bai Cangshu's combat power would rise by a significant margin.
Furthermore, this item could further improve Bai Cangshu's attack range, so he would no longer rely entirely on Ripple for targets like Spirit Bodies.
"The Sharingan is asking for a B-rank Singularity; it's unrealistic for you to want a B-rank for this too."
Bai Cangshu knew that the stall owner's cursing at those surrounding the Sharingan was also partly because they had been outbid by that stall owner.
The purple-quality 【Sharingan】 was indeed more precious than this blue item of theirs that came with a negative attribute.
"Two C-rank Singularities, no bargaining!"
The stall owner was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but Bai Cangshu continued to press the price; the preciousness of Singularities was definitely not a resource that could be wasted.
"1 C-rank Singularity, two D-rank Singularities, and I'll give you 1000 Dimension Points."
【You have obtained Item: Spirit-Gathering Index Finger】
After Bai Cangshu got this index finger, he discovered the inside of the finger had been hollowed out, leaving only a thin layer of skin; he slipped it over his own index finger and immediately felt the effect, as if countless tiny creatures were burrowing into his finger.
There were not many useful things on other stalls; the item closest to what Bai Cangshu wanted was a special ability learning scroll from the 【Fist Wish World】.
【Release (B-): Forcibly unlock the brain's control over the body to erupt with full physical strength】
This B-rank ability did not have a high asking price, but because this ability itself required the 【Wu Clan】 Bloodline, the side effects for others using it were extreme.
Moreover, in Bai Cangshu's view, this 【Release】 was actually very close to the ability of the Gene Lock: First Order, and his talent had a very high degree of similarity to the Gene Lock: Second Order.
Therefore, he did not make a purchase, but instead took the remaining resources and headed to the Goddess Residence to carry out his final strengthening and upgrades.
