[Your Physique increased, currently: 14]
Bai Cangshu consumed nearly 6000 dimensional points, successfully increasing his Physique by another point. Returning to his dorm, he rarely felt so exhausted.
However, Bai Cangshu, who had started to feel no effect from working out in a real-world gym, did indeed find the feeling of training and getting stronger again through the [Cultivation Chamber].
He felt that with unlimited resources, perhaps the physical potential of humans far exceeded many people's imagination.
Beep beep, beep beep.
Bai Cangshu's phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a call from Officer Song Xian.
The other party was a Reincarnator, no doubt. Bai Cangshu's mind was sharp; he knew that the other party calling now instead of coming in person proved that they didn't have more suspicion towards him.
"Hello, Officer Song?"
Song Xian sat in his office, finally relaxing. Just now, he had received news that the last dangerous target, [Loli Goddess], had also left Binhai City for Haidai. Binhai was finally peaceful again.
In his heart, he only felt that the appearance of that black card in Haidai was just right.
As for Bai Cangshu, he learned from Luoshui that Bai Cangshu had also gone to Haidai to participate in an international marathon and achieved a good result in the top 100.
Song Xian did not suspect Bai Cangshu because of this. The scene of the incident in Haidai was quite tragic, with a suspected Reincarnator possessing [Bloodline] ability having died.
As for Bai Cangshu, at most, he had been observed for just over a week because of Chu Qi's incident.
Song Xian felt that even if Bai Cangshu was a Reincarnator, he wouldn't have reached this level so quickly without leaving campus while under observation.
"I heard you participated in a competition and did quite well?"
Bai Cangshu automatically filtered out this meaningless opening remark and replied perfunctorily,
"Yeah, it was alright."
Song Xian thought for a moment and said,
"There have been some developments in Chu Qi's case recently. Our observation of you might last for a few more weeks before ending. It will be a bit troublesome for you during this time, student Bai."
Bai Cangshu pretended not to know what had happened. He knew very well that the card that had lost its effect could at most divert attention temporarily. Once the observation period ended, it would be best for him to change locations.
Perhaps finding an out-of-town job in his junior year would be a good excuse.
"If you encounter any strange people or events recently, remember to contact me or Luoshui immediately. Binhai City hasn't been very peaceful lately."
Bai Cangshu readily agreed to Song Xian's arrangements, nodding in response to each one.
After Song Xian hung up, he looked at the birds flying outside the window but suddenly realized something.
Logically, Song Xian indeed didn't suspect him. So, in his eyes, he was just an ordinary person, not a Reincarnator.
However, according to the current Space rules, if Reincarnators fight and die in the real world, turning into scarlet drop cards, their existence and all personal information will be erased by the Space. Ordinary people's cognition will be hindered, and they will no longer have memories of the other party.
So, why would Song Xian, as a Reincarnator, talk about the deceased Chu Qi to himself, who in his eyes was an ordinary person?
There is only one answer: in Song Xian's eyes, ordinary people still remember Chu Qi.
Tsk, there's something wrong behind this matter...
Bai Cangshu tapped his arm. After a while, he went downstairs to eat as usual, then went to the gym on the commercial street opposite to work out, and attended classes at school in the afternoon.
Occasionally rejecting some "face-worshipping" junior schoolgirls who approached him without knowing better.
For several days in a row.
Bai Cangshu's campus routine was dry and dull.
He was used to this routine in the past, but with the Infinite Dimensional Space, Bai Cangshu found it increasingly unbearable.
He looked at the students coming and going, his breathing unconsciously becoming long and deep. The physical structures of these ordinary people instantly became clear in his perception.
Weak bodies, loose bones. Perhaps, with just a light punch, he could shatter these guys' internal organs. Moreover, if his strength was a bit more refined, faking a sudden cardiac death wouldn't be a difficult task either.
Bai Cangshu walked on campus, his thoughts slightly drifting and stirring. When a human gradually begins to surpass the limitations of humanity, he finds it increasingly difficult to identify with others.
Over time, empathy would weaken and even disappear, eventually becoming a complete anomaly.
Fortunately, Bai Cangshu had endured such a routine almost since childhood, and he had begun to get used to lying low.
Bai Cangshu returned to his dorm and once again began training his limbs with iron sand.
He had Xiao Ning buy another barrel of iron sand and put it in the dorm so he could train at any time.
He plunged his hands violently into the iron sand. His hands instantly turned red, but he completely ignored the pain, striking again and again.
The training of [Kaiwan Style] is very close to the ascetic practice of [Ripple Breathing]. This kind of training, which seems like self-harm, can simultaneously improve his limb strength and the cultivation of [Ripple Breathing].
Bai Cangshu could clearly feel that his [Ripple Breathing] was still improving rapidly. The healing speed of his hand injuries was much faster than before.
Even if he hadn't reached Lv5 yet, Bai Cangshu believed he would touch that boundary soon.
[Attention, Code Ex051, you will begin a new round of Space projection in 1 hour. Please confirm the safety of your surroundings in advance]
Finally, Bai Cangshu received the Space prompt he had been longing for again. He closed the dorm doors and windows and had a thought.
[Return to Private Space]
Bai Cangshu would reserve 1 hour each time before entering a mission to make final adjustments to his state and replenish his consumption.
Because in the Demon Slayer World, he had exchanged for quite a few healing consumables and obtained two firearms from Vincent. At this time, the regular items he carried were actually quite sufficient.
[Your item, Heartless Demon Douma, received 132 bids]
Bai Cangshu returned to his stall and saw a dense amount of bids. Excluding worthless dimensional points, consumables, etc., only 3 bids remained that Bai Cangshu considered valuable.
[Bid: 1 c-rank special point, 4000 dimensional points; Bidder: FG99952141 (Intestine Hunter)]
[Bid: C-Class Body Technique or Sword Technique Ability; Bidder: XS54154822 (Ouyang)]
[Bid: information on the Melting attribute in exchange for this head; Bidder: LT44344564 (Conspiracy)]
The three bids were for an ability, a special point, and information.
Bai Cangshu tried to respond to the bids and found that the person with the code name [Conspiracy] didn't seem to be in the Space. Among these three bids, the most valuable to Bai Cangshu was this information.
Although Douma's head had rare options, there was no indispensable reason for Bai Cangshu to get it.
As for special points and C-Class abilities, Bai Cangshu actually wasn't lacking either.
Although Bai Cangshu's dimensional points had dropped to less than 2000 after using the [Cultivation Chamber], his special points were actually quite abundant. 1 B-Class and 3 c-rank special points held considerable purchasing power in the Space.
As for abilities, what Bai Cangshu needed was the kind of explosive or special ability that could significantly strengthen him now.
Body technique and sword technique abilities were not too scarce for Bai Cangshu.
Therefore, after leaving a message for [Conspiracy], Bai Cangshu left his stall and began quickly searching the Slum to see if he could find anything else suitable for him.
The Reincarnation Space is a place of debauchery and death. The pressure Reincarnators face is unimaginable even for real-world mercenaries, so generally, if they have good things they can't use, they will sell them as soon as possible.
No one would store any supplies for the sake of the future.
Therefore, almost every day, the Slum of the Reincarnation Space would cause a sensation due to the appearance of various rare items and abilities.
Last time, it was [Kyo Kusanagi's Gloves]. This time, another group of people gathered in front of a stall.
Bai Cangshu went over and found an eyeball contained in a special glass vessel.
[Bio-Implant: Sharingan]
[Quality: Purple (Extremely Rare)]
[Description: The eyeball of the Uchiha Clan from the Naruto and its derived worlds. It possesses good transplant adaptability and powerful abilities.]
[Requirement: Physique > 15, Mental > 15]
[Effect: Hidden]
The Shop Manager was a Reincarnator wrapped entirely in a gray cloak. This person stood in front of his stall, driving away the Reincarnators who couldn't afford the price and had surrounded the stall completely.
(Placeholder text)
"Those with only dimensional points, get lost. This isn't something you can afford."
"Only accepting trades for Purple quality items and abilities, or B-Class or higher special points."
"This item is for urgent sale. I have 3 hours left before entering a mission world. If the bid is satisfactory, the trade will be immediate, no delays."
It was obvious that this Reincarnator was eager to cash out, which gave many people an opportunity.
There are also some people in the Space who are good at speculating and will make a profit by utilizing information gaps and time differences.
Bai Cangshu just glanced at the eyeball and then turned to leave.
The [Sharingan] is indeed powerful, but for those without strong Chakra, it is ultimately a burden. In the original work, even a genius like Kakashi could barely bear the consumption of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
For Bai Cangshu at the moment, this item was like a castle in the air, flashy but impractical.
Bai Cangshu took advantage of the fact that everyone else was watching the [Sharingan], and the other stalls had fewer people, quickly searching for things that might be useful to him.
"Tsk, there are still rational people around~"
"Those fools only stare at so-called rare items but don't know that they can't control them at all. Look at these Reincarnators watching. I dare to bet you that less than half of them will still be able to appear here after seven days."
A Reincarnator with a cigar in his mouth leaned against his stall and casually struck up a conversation with Bai Cangshu who looked over. However, upon seeing Bai Cangshu's face clearly, his expression changed.
"What the hell is that!"
Bai Cangshu had begun to get used to these people's reactions upon seeing his artistically sculpted face. He looked at the items on the other party's stall.
[Bio-Implant: Index Finger of Spirit Gathering]
[Quality: Blue (Rare)]
[Description: A finger left behind by a powerful Psychic after death, possessing special effects.]
[Requirement: Mental > 10]
[Effect 1: After wearing, Mental will suffer erosion, Mental -2]
[Effect 2: Gain additional Spirit Particle Affinity, energy increase speed slightly improved]
[Effect 3: Overdraw Mental to release one Lv4 Spirit Ball]
"How do you want to trade for this?"
The item Bai Cangshu saw was a human index finger. Like the Sharingan before, it was classified as a special equipment: [Bio-Implant].
This type of equipment is not worn on the body. Instead, it is directly implanted into the Reincarnator's body, merging with their body, or directly replacing a part of the body.
In the Infinite Dimensional Space, this type of equipment is considered quite rare, second only to [God-Forged Arms], which ordinary Reincarnators have only heard of.
The Reincarnator with the cigar in his mouth took a few strong puffs to relieve his discomfort and was no longer as enthusiastic towards Bai Cangshu as before.
"For this item, don't even speak unless you have a b-class special point."
"1 c-rank special point."
Bai Cangshu was very rule-abiding. He did have a b-class special point, so he spoke. However, he was unwilling to trade with a b-class special point, so his bid was a c-rank special point.
But the stall owner didn't understand Bai Cangshu's Logic. He frowned, waved his hand, and didn't want to talk to Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu was interested in this equipment mainly because he wanted to increase his attack range, and he was quite interested in items that could increase the [Energy] attribute.
Because he still had an A-Class [Dongdong Wave] that he could learn.
Once he learned [Dongdong Wave], Bai Cangshu's combat power would take a leap forward.
Moreover, this item could further enhance Bai Cangshu's attack range. For targets like spirits, he would no longer rely entirely on Ripple.
"The Sharingan is being bid with a b-class special point. Asking for a B-Class for yours isn't realistic, is it?"
Bai Cangshu knew that the reason this stall owner was cursing at the people gathered around the Sharingan was partly because that stall owner had outbid him.
The Purple quality [Sharingan] was indeed more valuable than his Blue item with a negative attribute.
"Two c-rank special points, no haggling!"
The stall owner was somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, but Bai Cangshu still pressed the price. The preciousness of special points was definitely not a resource to be wasted.
"1 c-rank special point, two d-class special points, plus 1000 dimensional points."
[You obtained item: Index Finger of Spirit Gathering]
After Bai Cangshu obtained this index finger, he found that the inside of the finger was hollowed out, leaving only a thin layer of skin. He put it on his index finger and immediately felt the effect, as if countless tiny creatures were drilling into his index finger.
There weren't many useful things at other stalls. The item closest to what Bai Cangshu wanted was a scroll for learning a special ability from the [Kengan World].
[Liberation (B-): Forcibly unlock the brain's control over the body, unleashing full physical strength]
The bid for this B-Class ability wasn't high, but because the ability itself required the bloodline of the [Wu Clan], the side effects were huge for others.
Moreover, in Bai Cangshu's opinion, this [Liberation] was actually very close to the ability of Genetic Lock Tier 1, and his talent was quite similar to Genetic Lock Tier 2.
Therefore, he didn't buy it. Instead, he took his remaining resources and went to the [Goddess Residence] for the final strengthening and upgrade.
