Demon Slayer Fist, Activated

Kyo Kusanagi's Glove: Right

Quality: Silver Plot Equipment (Set)

Description: A glove worn by Kusanagi-ryu Combat master Kyo Kusanagi, stained with Crimson Flame.

Effect 1: Manipulate Crimson Flame. Attacks made while wearing this glove can generate Crimson Flame.

Effect 2: Unarmed Combat Specialization gains an additional Lv. 3.

Effect 3: Hidden.

The appearance of this equipment caused a small stir in Shantytown East District. Silver Plot Equipment was already rare, and this was even a set item.

Moreover, the item's effects were extremely versatile. Unarmed Combat Specialization covered nearly every type of physical combat—Hakuda, fighting, martial arts, and more could all benefit from it.

As a result, even Bai Cangshu, who was somewhat pressed for time, stopped to take a look.

The stall owner was a chestnut-haired woman in a black-and-white maid outfit. Her disguised appearance was exquisitely beautiful. She held a cup of coffee in her hands and seemed entirely unhurried, leisurely turning down other people's offers.

"This item can only be exchanged for something of equal value, or purchased for no less than a B-rank Anomaly Point."

The woman's voice was calm, her eyelids lowered, giving her an air of nobility.

Bai Cangshu frowned. Ever since Evans had divined for him, he had begun unconsciously paying attention to certain coincidences.

For example, he happened to have a B-rank Anomaly Point in his Backpack right now.

So after thinking it over, he turned and left. This item was extremely popular, and a B-rank Anomaly Point alone might not be enough to secure it. Rather than waste time, he might as well find a way to sell off the things in his Backpack that he had no immediate use for.

Desert Eagle: Infinite Ammo Edition

Quality: White

Description: A classic model from Reincarnation Space. This is the work of Master Li Shuaixi.

Considerable power, average rate of fire.

Tsk. Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow, thinking that quite a few Reincarnators really did have worrying mental states. Whether it was this alchemist's codename or this weapon, both were full of "tribute."

That one glance made the stall owner think he had met someone on the same wavelength, and he perked up.

This Li Shuaixi truly looked rather ordinary. Looking at Bai Cangshu, he said,

"Looks like you're a fellow fan too. So, what do you think? After coming to a hellhole like Infinite Space, how can you not have a Desert Eagle with infinite ammo?"

"For a fellow fan, I'll only charge you 2,000 Dimensional Points."

The price was indeed not particularly high, but Bai Cangshu already had a blue Knocking on Misfortune's Door. If he traded for this Desert Eagle, he would probably have to practice a shooting specialization as well.

Bai Cangshu shook his head. Then, with a flash of light in his hand, he took out something.

"Since you're a fellow fan, I imagine you won't be able to resist the temptation of using Gun-Fu with Dual Gauss Pistols in the future, right? How about getting Dual Wielding Specialization first?"

What he held was that Dual Wielding Specialization Scroll. Its value was not particularly high, but it could unlock a specialization, making it far more valuable than consumables and weapons without special effects.

Li Shuaixi had not expected someone to peddle an item to him at his own stall, much less a fellow "Infinite Horror fan."

Coincidentally, he really was leaning toward developing in the direction of dual-wielded weapons. He had recently gotten an opportunity to obtain a job advancement for the Wandering Gunner sequence.

Thus, Li Shuaixi merely coughed before accepting the offer.

"3,000 Dimensional Points. How about it? Scrolls for this kind of specialization aren't particularly rare either."

Bai Cangshu did not know the exact market price, but he still shook his head. It was a basic negotiation tactic: you had to reject the other party's first offer.

Li Shuaixi clicked his tongue in annoyance and was about to continue haggling.

But Bai Cangshu pointed at the items in his stall and said,

"I want two sets each of this High-Speed Hemostatic Spray and these High-Explosive Grenades. How about it?"

Li Shuaixi was a steadfast Technology Faction Reincarnator. He thought those Reincarnators who started off by learning all kinds of martial arts techniques and even special abilities were complete idiots.

Why risk enormous danger getting up close to gesture around with those Plot Characters when a single shot could do the job?

Your Strength was over ten, and you could throw a punch weighing a thousand jin. Very impressive. One punch could break a thinner tree trunk.

But with one High-Explosive Grenade, he could inflict devastating damage on enemies within a radius of nearly ten meters.

Therefore, not only had he customized his Private Space, he had also bought quite a large number of blueprints from others.

He was a Special Reincarnator who supported himself through "manufacturing ability."

He looked over the items on his stall. Although the total value of those two sets of items would exceed 5,000 points if sold separately, their cost to him was not high after all.

This deal would not be a loss.

You have obtained item: High-Explosive Grenade ×3, High-Speed Hemostatic Spray ×2

You have lost item: Dual Wielding Specialization Scroll

Please return to your Private Space immediately. Mission deployment is about to begin.

Bai Cangshu had just finished his preparations as well. With a thought, he returned to his Private Space.

3...

2...

1...

Deployment beginning...

A massive stream of white information surged out from the Private Space in an instant, completely drowning Bai Cangshu's senses.

Bai Cangshu stood where he was, unable even to think under the flood of information. He felt nothing at all as time and space shifted.

After an unknown amount of time—perhaps an instant, perhaps much longer—Bai Cangshu suddenly opened his eyes. The rich floral fragrance made him frown.

The sky was dim, with only a few traces of dusky yellow sunlight still hanging at the horizon.

Deep woods surrounded him. The trees were generally seven or eight meters tall, their branches and leaves dense enough to make the forest feel even more secluded. The ground was covered in dry, rotting leaves. If not for the heavy scent of flowers, the place would probably have reeked horribly.

Bai Cangshu got to his feet and noticed several figures around him, each maintaining a distance of several meters from the others.

Was this a multiplayer mission?

Caw!

Caw!

As night fell, many crows let out harsh cries and circled away into the distance.

"Tsk, these Japanese things always love putting crows everywhere. Their calls are irritating as hell."

Someone spoke at that moment. Bai Cangshu looked over and saw only a tall figure wearing a conical hat, his back turned toward Bai Cangshu, a katana hanging at his waist.

The others also looked toward the first person to speak, but no one greeted each other.

Bai Cangshu noticed that there were seven people in total, including himself. Four of them stood in pairs, apparently having entered as teams, while the man in the conical hat, Bai Cangshu, and a young woman in black-rimmed glasses were all alone.

They exchanged a few looks. The lone woman quietly moved to one side of Bai Cangshu and the conical-hat man, vaguely forming a standoff.

At that exact moment, information began scrolling before their eyes.

...

Bai Cangshu pressed his lips together. It was actually the world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Feeling the Hamon within his body, his expression became somewhat strange.

"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba? The world's difficulty isn't high. Good thing I bought two Slave Shackles. I'll make quite a profit this time."

At that moment, a pair of Reincarnators standing farthest from Bai Cangshu spoke without a care, even whistling.

Bai Cangshu smiled as well.

Yes. This world was wonderful.
