Prices ranged from ten thousand to fifty thousand.
None of it interested Satoru Gojo in the slightest.
Even setting aside the fact that they required popularity points to exchange, he would not have bothered using any of these items even before coming to this world.
Aside from those, there were also some fairly basic options.
Things like barrier techniques that every jujutsu sorcerer was expected to learn, or simple domains and the like.
Gojo felt no interest in those either.
Anything related to jujutsu barely caught his attention anymore.
He was already standing near the very peak of that mountain, just one step away from the summit.
Looking back at these things now.
Even if there were some techniques he technically did not know, he still had no desire for them.
They were simply unnecessary.
That said, this section did not only contain items and abilities from his original world.
It also included many abilities and items native to this world.
What intrigued Gojo the most was magic.
Magic was divided into six major categories. Fire attribute, which controlled heat. Water attribute, tied to vitality and healing. Wind attribute, which governed a living being's exterior. Earth attribute, which governed the interior. Yin attribute, which controlled negative effects. Yang attribute, which controlled positive enhancements.
Each elemental type had four different prefixes tied to its incantations, used to increase power depending on the stage.
For example, fire magic progressed from Goa, to El Goa, then Ul Goa, and finally Al Goa.
Almost instinctively, Gojo thought of the girl he had seen casting magic in the alley.
If nothing else had changed, it had probably been either fire or water magic.
He carefully read through the descriptions and effects of these spells.
Low-tier magic was not expensive.
Most of it cost around thirty thousand popularity points.
As for raw power, it was hard to judge. All he could do was infer from the written descriptions.
Take the most basic wind spell, for instance. It could release wind blades at extremely high speed, powerful enough to cut through wood, stone, and flesh alike.
Against ordinary people, that kind of power was more than enough.
But in Gojo's eyes, it was pathetically weak.
What interested him was the power system of this world itself, something unexplored and unfamiliar, not a single isolated skill.
After skimming through everything once, he had no intention of exchanging any of it.
Once he skipped past magic, something new appeared.
Abilities known as Divine Protections.
They were a unique feature of this world.
Their effects were also extremely straightforward.
Every native of this world had a chance to awaken a Divine Protection at birth.
Their effects and types varied wildly, completely random, like drawing a lottery ticket.
Some of them were downright absurd.
In the list, Gojo spotted one called Divine Protection of Salt.
Its effect was incredibly simple. You would never mistake sugar for salt.
When he saw that, the corner of Gojo's mouth twitched.
It honestly felt like a blessing designed for idiots.
What was the point of that?
What normal person could not tell sugar and salt apart?
And yet, it sat proudly in the list, costing ten thousand popularity points to exchange.
It was not an isolated case.
There were plenty of similar Divine Protections.
Divine Protection of Shoelaces, which ensured your shoelaces would never come undone.
Divine Protection of Layering, which allowed clothes to be layered comfortably.
Gojo could only wonder if these were not things people could already do normally.
After looking through everything.
Almost none of the items or abilities in the first tier had any value to him at all.
He did not plan to waste more time here. Instead, he jumped straight to the final fourth tier to see what was available.
No matter how you looked at it, the last tier should contain the very best items from both worlds. There was no way it would be disappointing.
He was especially curious about the top-tier Divine Protections of this world.
With that expectation in mind.
Gojo opened the list for the final tier, and the very first exchangeable item that appeared made him pause.
[Adaptation]
Price: one million popularity points
Requirement: mastery of the Ten Shadows Technique
Effect: Grants the ability of the strongest shikigami summoned by the Ten Shadows Technique, Mahoraga. This power allows conceptual adaptation to all phenomena in existence, continuing until complete immunity to that concept is achieved.
The Ten Shadows Technique was something Gojo knew well.
It was one of the inherited Cursed Techniques of the Zen'in clan, one of the three great families of the jujutsu world. By forming hand signs, the user could summon corresponding shikigami.
As another of the three great families, the Gojo clan had a long history of conflict and cooperation with the Zen'in clan.
He was very familiar with them.
But this so-called Adaptation was something he had never heard of.
The Ten Shadows Technique… huh.
Gojo narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
Even without fully understanding it, and despite never having heard of this Adaptation before.
One thing was obvious.
Its effect was terrifyingly powerful.
Adapt to all phenomena, then become immune to that concept entirely.
Take slashing attacks as an example. Different weapons and different techniques produced different kinds of slashes.
Against such attacks, one could dodge, block, or even rely on the Limitless Cursed Technique to prevent the attack from ever reaching them.
But this Adaptation was different.
According to the description, once adaptation was complete, it granted total immunity to the very concept of slashing.
Once that happened, no matter how strong the opponent was, no matter how destructive the slash, as long as the attack fell under that category, it would be completely ineffective against him.
There would be no need for Limitless at all.
It was absolute negation.
Absurd.
It was nothing short of absurd.
Even from Gojo's perspective, this adaptation ability was utterly monstrous.
If someone mastered it and was given enough time to adapt, they could truly be considered invincible.
Since when did the Zen'in clan have something this broken?
Gojo rubbed his chin, puzzled.
If it were really this outrageous.
Then the jujutsu world would not be ruled by three great families. The Zen'in clan alone would dominate everything.
Clearly, even the Zen'in clan themselves likely had never fully grasped this power.
This was something dug out entirely because of the side character system.
Sitting on a mountain of treasure without realizing it.
Maybe I should have paid them a bit more attention before.
He had never really bothered with the Zen'in clan. Or rather, no one had ever been worth that level of attention.
In his mind, the only lasting impression they left was that they were treated as the Gojo clan's sworn rivals.
To the point that, in one generation, the heads of both families had even ended up killing each other.
