Chapter 82: Appraisal, Secret Treasure: Curse Blood Consanguinity (3K for subscription)
"Professor, is what you're doing meaningful?"
Elizabeth appeared in a private Space that resembled a manor; no, it should be called a team Space.
She wore a purple evening gown with long, curly green hair, possessing a quite refined temperament, while the Professor still wore his black-rimmed glasses, sitting by the fountain in the center of the Space, drinking tea.
Liu Qi took off his bamboo hat, revealing a square-shaped face.
The three of them had persisted in the Demon Slayer World until the 30 days ended, pushing the main mission completion progress to S-. This level of reward was something Liu Qi and Elizabeth had never obtained before.
The three were quite satisfied with each other's abilities and character, so they simply reformed their team.
At this moment, Elizabeth questioned the Professor, guessing that perhaps her former teammate, Vincent, had already been killed by that beast named "Tao Bai Bai."
Although there was no animosity, Elizabeth could still recall the oppressive feeling she experienced every moment while traveling with Tao Bai Bai; she didn't want to have too much contact with such a person.
The Professor shook his head, knowing full well that his special trial was very difficult. If it weren't for an existence like Tao Bai Bai, who was outside the norm, being able to barely complete it would have been difficult, let alone being as smooth as it was now.
He owed Tao Bai Bai a favor.
Moreover.
"I'm not trying to recruit him; it's just that the further we go in this Space, the more monsters we'll encounter. It's better to build a good relationship with one of them early on than to face another predator in the future."
Liu Qi didn't speak, merely wiping his blade. He had always been confident in his combat strength, but this time, seeing someone like Tao Bai Bai still gave him a sense of urgency.
Elizabeth sat down. She was exceptionally tall, and the Professor guessed that perhaps Elizabeth was a petite woman in reality, which is why she intentionally made her avatar look this way.
Avatars and codenames are two things that can greatly reveal a Reincarnator's personality and purpose. He felt this more and more. Just like Liu Qi, such an extremely simple and slightly old-fashioned codename made the Professor guess that the other party was not young in reality and might be someone from a family that inherited some kind of ancient martial arts technique.
As for Tao Bai Bai... the Professor shook his head. Such an anomaly probably took that codename simply because he obtained Tao Bai Bai's clothes. The thoughts of anomalies are the hardest to grasp.
"You mean, even if Tao Bai Bai is targeted by that Moon Demon now, he won't die?"
The Moon Demon is a high-level Reincarnator with considerable fame in the East District, widely speculated to be at the upper level of the Strong rank in terms of combat strength, and utilizes a highly destructive sword fighting style with astonishing killing power in actual combat.
Together with the Flame Demon, Great Demon, and the most mysterious Heart Demon, they are collectively known as the Four Demons and are recognized by the East District as elite Reincarnators closest to the Title rank.
And the Moon Demon rose remarkably fast. Many intelligence brokers and team strategists believe that this person must have some special information channels, capable of extensively hunting other Reincarnators in reality, thus rising quickly.
Some also believe that the Moon Demon is a rumored Great Sin series Reincarnator.
But none of the information has been confirmed.
The Professor has the Azure Sky's intelligence source, and at the same time, she is a special sequence Reincarnator of the priestess, whose ability to acquire information is top-notch, knowing many hidden secrets.
"Rumor has it that a Zhi Qiang Zhe is preparing to take the Four Demons under his wing, having these individuals form a new team, but the arrogant Great Demon and the mysterious Heart Demon refused the invitation and were pursued by the Zhi Qiang Zhe."
"The emerging team of the Moon Demon and the Flame Demon also disbanded after a mission world. In that mission world, the Flame Demon's partner, Demon Mountain, perished. After that, the Moon Demon left the team and began to be wanted by the Flame Demon and the Zhi Qiang Zhe."
The Professor recounted these hidden pieces of information. Elizabeth frowned, only now coming to her senses.
"You mean, the disbandment of that emerging team is related to Tao Bai Bai?"
There's no reason for a high-level Reincarnator like the Moon Demon to get involved with low-level Reincarnators like themselves. The only explanation is that Tao Bai Bai did offend the other party at some point.
The Professor did not continue speaking. Having spent a gem of near-perfect quality to obtain the relevant revelation for Tao Bai Bai, he had done his utmost. There was no reason to do more for him.
After all, the Professor didn't think someone like Tao Bai Bai could join his team, and even if he did, the Professor didn't think he could control such a ferocious beast.
...
Bai Cangshu did not change his plan because of the Professor's warning. He glanced at the other offers, most of which were some dimensional points or consumable items of little value, and there were many "newbies" asking what kind of uses this head had, making transactions completely impossible.
He left the stall directly and came to the location of the Appraisal Office.
Compared to the other few establishments, the Appraisal Office had a much smaller facade. With a low doorframe, Reincarnators couldn't even enter the interior and could only have things appraised from the window.
But the Appraisal Office had four windows. Bai Cangshu walked up and saw that the appraiser at his window was not a Human Race but a "fairy" no more than thirty centimeters in length.
"Little one, take out your item. I hope it's not some too inferior item. I've seen too many Sundries today..."
Bai Cangshu didn't feel any emotion towards the remarks of these NPCs. He took out the purple glowing prescription and handed it to this fairy.
"Oh?"
The fairy twitched her nose and circled the ancient formula a few times.
"I smell an ancient and mysterious scent, hmm... there's the aura of those demon and ghost creatures."
"To appraise this item, you need to pay one e-class special point and 4500 dimensional points."
[Appraisal Master Lucia V is requesting one e-class special point and 4500 dimensional points from you. Do you want to pay?]
"Pay."
The fairy extended her hand, and starlight began to scatter. Subsequently, the power sealed behind this indecipherable prescription finally began to manifest.
A dazzling purple glow suddenly lit up, and Bai Cangshu reached out to take it.
[You have obtained the item, Secret Treasure: Curse Blood Consanguinity (Purple · Extreme)]
[Secret Treasure: Curse Blood Consanguinity]
[Quality: Extremely Rare (Extreme)]

[Effect 3: Without materials, you can pay 2 c-rank special points and 3000 dimensional points to fuse this into yourself and randomly gain a certain characteristic]
"Lucky kid, even I have only seen this thing a few times."
The petite little fairy sat cross-legged in the air, her tone old-fashioned, but it was clear that what Bai Cangshu had obtained was indeed a treasure.
Bai Cangshu examined this Secret Treasure and could also see a series of required materials: Sanxianmao grass, Yu Ye Gui Deng Qing, Asunaro...
Among a string of materials, Bai Cangshu currently only had the blue spider lily, which Kibutsuji Muzan had failed to find for a thousand years, in his backpack.
He put away the prescription and immediately went to the Cultivation Chamber.
The NPC in the Cultivation Chamber was a bald, muscular man who looked very philosophical, with bronzed skin and bulging muscles.
[After entering the Cultivation Chamber, public area time will no longer be consumed, but each minute within the Cultivation Chamber will consume a base of 50 dimensional points. Opening special facilities will incur additional fees. Do you want to enter?]
The Cultivation Chamber looked quite cyberpunk from the outside, full of Neon lights, but upon entering, it was a massive gym-like space, with mirrors all around and a floor of white jade-like tiles, feeling warm and smooth underfoot.
As soon as Bai Cangshu stepped into this Space, he immediately felt his body sink, and even his heart rate became a little more strenuous.
[Gravity Change: 1.5 times (can be actively adjusted up to 3 times)]
[Oxygen Density: 0.75 times (can be adjusted within the range of 0.5-3 times)]
[Extreme Environment Setting: None (can be chosen from environments such as waterfalls, lake centers, seabeds, volcanoes, etc.)]
...
Bai Cangshu looked at the series of prompts that appeared on the panel and began to realize what kind of place this Cultivation Chamber was.
It was possible to completely customize various factors, including gravity, oxygen content, and even extreme environments. Various ordinary pieces of equipment could also appear with a thought.
These were the most basic Cultivation Chamber settings that allowed Reincarnators to train their basic attributes.
And for various specializations, Reincarnators could also purchase relevant facilities according to their needs, and even invite sparring NPCs.
Bai Cangshu used it for the first time, directly manifesting numerous pieces of equipment and began to push himself. He specifically took off the pink robe of Tao Bai Bai.
At this moment, Bai Cangshu's four-dimensional basic attributes were: Strength 13, Agility 15, Constitution 13, Mental 13.
"Thanks" to the Space's two allocations, Bai Cangshu's attributes were quite balanced at this moment, even when naked, almost reaching the level of three times that of an ordinary person in all aspects.
But the physical body is inherently connected. Strength, Agility, and Constitution influence each other. The faster the speed, the greater the strength that can be exerted. Conversely, the greater the strength, the faster the speed of the punches that can be thrown. Bai Cangshu, a Human Race with three times the attributes in all aspects, had actual combat power far exceeding that of ordinary people by an unknown number of times.
At least, at this moment, he could jump from the seventh floor without injury, and at full speed without using abilities, he could run 100 meters in less than seven seconds, which was already completely superhuman attributes.
"Not enough..."
Ever since Bai Cangshu learned about the so-called attribute extremes and single-attribute Zhi Qiang Zhe from the Professor, he had been curious about what would happen if his four-dimensional attributes all reached their extremes.
If his four attributes were all comparable to the Zhi Qiang Zhe, then what would he... be?!
