"Mr. Tao Bai Bai, although Muzan escaped, Kagaya Ubuyashiki is aware of your merits. Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked me to relay that the Ubuyashiki Clan will find a way to satisfy anything you desire. Please continue to help us... hunt down Muzan."
Gyomei Himejima knelt on the tatami mat, but still resembled a small mountain. Bai Cangshu estimated that his basic attributes were likely very close to the extreme value of 20 points.
In the Space, reaching 20 points in a basic attribute triggers an [Extreme Value] reward, granting a special expertise or ability. This is the most basic threshold for advancing to the [Strong] level.
When the sum of the four attributes - Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Mental - of a [Paper]-level Reincarnator exceeds 40 points, the Space will judge them eligible to accept an advancement mission and attempt to enter the [Parallel] stage.
As long as the Reincarnator does not die and continues to experience missions, theoretically, all Reincarnators will enter this stage, and the advancement mission is not overly difficult.
Killing a single [Parallel]-level enemy, for a Reincarnator who can access many resources, is not very difficult. With suitable conditions and enough high-explosive grenades, the mission can be completed.
However, the threshold for entering the [Strong] level is much higher.
Bai Cangshu knew that Gyomei Himejima's actions likely constituted the opening of a reputation store for the Demon Slayer Corps faction in some sense, but the Demon Slayer Corps side primarily possessed abilities related to swordsmanship and breathing techniques.
Bai Cangshu was not particularly enthusiastic.
He thought for a moment and said,
"Can I look at all the branch breathing techniques?"
Gyomei Himejima was startled. Butterfly Kanae and Sanemi Shinazugawa, sitting behind him, had varied expressions. Such a request was quite greedy.
The Demon Slayer Corps' ability to fight Ogres fundamentally relies on the breathing techniques and sword skills passed down for hundreds of years. In a sense, those are the most valuable possessions of the Ubuyashiki Clan.
Bai Cangshu added with an indifferent smile,
"In return, although I will not continue hunting Kibutsuji Muzan, I will find a way to teach you the breathing technique that can kill Ogres with the physical body."
Creak.
Gyomei Himejima instantly stood up, the sound of his muscles tensing and moving like steel gears.
He maintained a half-standing posture, his completely white eyes wide open.
"Physical body... kill Ogres..."
He had not witnessed Bai Cangshu's actions firsthand, only sensed from his aura that this "Mr. Tao Bai Bai" was indeed a rare master, with a very powerful physique.
Butterfly Kanae described to him how the other party could kill Ogres effortlessly. All Ogres struck by his Ripple-like golden breathing technique directly melted and died, unable to regenerate.
And the other party was actually willing to teach this power to the Demon Slayer Corps?!!
[Attention, Code Ex051, the Space cannot directly write abilities into non-Reincarnators.]
[Attention, Code Ex051, introducing items or abilities not belonging to this world into this world may cause unpredictable changes, and such changes will prevent the corresponding singularity from being generated.]
Bai Cangshu was not deceiving Gyomei Himejima, but as soon as the thought arose, two bright red Space prompts immediately appeared.
Bai Cangshu looked at these two "warning" information, and instead of being dissuaded, he used them to understand some deeper mechanisms of the Space.
First, the Space using scrolls or the so-called [Goddess] to allow players to learn and improve abilities, in the Space's view, is "writing." This description is closer to a programmatic language than the mystical side.
Combined with the Space's consistently "precise" mission descriptions, Bai Cangshu had reason to believe that this Space was indeed an impersonal entity.
Because if it were a high-level will closer to the mystical side, perhaps using words like "inject" or "impart" would be more accurate.
Second, singularities are products born from the deviation of this world's development caused by Reincarnators' actions, leading to the emergence of new destiny branches;
However, in this world, regardless of whether he killed Douma or Kokushibo, he did not receive corresponding singularities. At first, Bai Cangshu thought it was because these two were not strong enough, but now it seems this might be related to the world itself.
The Space's warning indicates that if this world undergoes unpredictable changes due to the introduction of items or abilities from other worlds, these changes will not produce singularities.
This is very interesting, because if players want to cause large-scale plot changes, besides killing important characters like the protagonist, the simplest way is to introduce things that do not belong to this world.
For example, spreading high-tech equipment and knowledge in a backward world, triggering large-scale reforms, etc.
But the Space stated that this kind of change would not produce singularities.
In other words, if Bai Cangshu's previous understanding was correct, the [Space] is like a beehive, [Reincarnators] are like worker bees, and the Space sends Reincarnators to various worlds to collect needed [information]. Fresh, unknown changes are the [information] the Space needs most, and it gives [Singularities] as rewards for this.
However, if the changes are generated by the interaction and collision of information from two worlds, creating new [information] mixed with two types of [information], this is [information] the [Space] does not need, hence there is no reward.
Furthermore, Bai Cangshu had already guessed why there was no singularity reward for normally killing Kokushibo and Douma in this world.
Because the changes produced by [Kibutsuji Muzan] in this world were not naturally occurring. Kibutsuji Muzan underwent changes due to a certain item from a certain Reincarnator, gaining intelligence that did not belong to him.
Look at the error-free version at 1619shuba!
Tarot Twenty-Two, grants the chosen person the second card - [The priestess].
Is this the special characteristic of this sequence of Reincarnators?
"Although you may not necessarily be able to learn it, I do have the idea of leaving that ability to you, after all..."
"Kibutsuji Muzan thinks he got the better of me, so I have to leave him a little surprise, right?"
Bai Cangshu was not generous; on the contrary, he had a strong desire to win.
Vincent and Muzan both felt they had gained an advantage over Bai Cangshu through their actions last night, so he would teach these two a lesson.
Given Kibutsuji Muzan's cowardly personality, he likely intends to hide somewhere, so Bai Cangshu can only leave the ultimate bane of Ogres in this world - [Ripple Breathing].
As for Vincent... Bai Cangshu felt that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something.
Reincarnators are not plot characters. The battles of Reincarnators never stay within the mission world...
A gentleman's revenge is not too late after ten years, but Bai Cangshu's revenge is definitely from morning till night.
"If you took something that belongs to me, you have to return it with interest."
Gyomei Himejima immediately contacted Kagaya Ubuyashiki using his Kasugai Crow to finalize the matter. Cultivators of the major breathing techniques were sent to Kyoto by the [Kakushi] at all costs within half a day.
