The New Mission's Objective
From a big gift pack like the "Newcomer Three-Piece Set," one could see that the Reincarnation Space had already begun to develop some commercial methods.
But such crude gift packs still fell far short of the familiar tactics of the twenty-first century.
Kabaneri Solo Set, Kabaneri Group-Buy Set, Kabaneri A Package, Kabaneri Family Bundle...
The merchant group's slogan was: "As long as you have money, you can become stronger!"
After achieving his intended goal, some of Xu Yue's suggestions still left those distributors completely dumbfounded.
∑(っ°Д°;)っ
They all wore expressions that said, "Holy shit! You can do that?"
Xu Yue directly named the chamber of commerce "Penguin."
Because of the thought-provoking approach before this, even the casually chosen name made the distributors ponder for quite a while.
Penguin? That strange creature from Antarctica? It represented rarity and scarcity, which indeed suited a chamber of commerce...
Inspired by this, they even changed their original brainless method of stuffing things into newcomer sets.
The original "Newcomer Three-Piece Set" had practically been designed to scam people, but now, inspired by Xu Yue, they decided to split apart the bloated newcomer package. The Melee Set, Ranged Set, and Firepower Suppression Set also emerged under Xu Yue's theory.
Before, they had relied purely on deception. Now, they were genuinely increasing practicality!
The old sets had been intended solely to sell military equipment produced by factories in the real world. Now, although that was still the goal, they paired genuinely useful items with things that could squeeze out extra profit.
This casual display only made them more certain that Xu Yue represented a powerful corps. Only a complete business team could have proposed such a scheme.
As for why he hid his identity, that was actually common in the Reincarnation Space. Not every corps was willing to show itself openly. Corps mainly engaged in assassination, espionage, and the like usually concealed their identities during trade...
"The pressure from the next mission should be much lighter now."
After finalizing the agreement and providing all the Kabane flesh from the Sealing Scroll, Xu Yue felt far less pressure. At the very least, the pressure of Reincarnation Points had decreased, leaving him to focus only on mission completion.
His original goal had been to buy Kakashi's Sharingan before the Promotion Mission without affecting the normal growth of his own strength. Now, as long as the next mission brought in income comparable to Koutetsujou's, combined with the merchant group's income and the auction of Black and White Blood Plasma, he should be able to achieve that goal.
What still gave Xu Yue a headache, however, was that upgrading the Mangekyō Sharingan would definitely cost more than buying it.
Upgrading to Three Tomoe already required an A-rank mission. The improvement from Three Tomoe to the Mangekyō Sharingan was far greater than the improvement from Two Tomoe to Three Tomoe. With the Space's stingy nature, would it possibly give him a bargain?
That was impossible even to think about. Even the advancement price for just one eye would definitely be outrageously expensive.
The gap was probably still enormous.
But if it truly came down to it, he could just delay it...
With this loosely organized chamber of commerce established, as long as the distributors received enough commission, they would not consume any of Xu Yue's energy at all.
He devoted himself completely to becoming more familiar with his own power.
"Next time, I should upgrade this cabin as well. The Reincarnation Space isn't absolutely safe either."
After unleashing his full strength several times inside the small wooden cabin and faintly causing it to shake, Xu Yue sighed inwardly.
Thanks to his connection with those distributors, Xu Yue had gained a much deeper understanding of the available intelligence.
Although the Reincarnation Space appeared peaceful, with hawkers everywhere on the streets and stalls protected by the Space—
As long as someone could afford the price of violating the rules, street killings were not uncommon.
There had even been cases of people forcibly breaking into others' homes.
An attack at the Special Jonin level was not something only Special Jonin could unleash. There were many whose overall strength was insufficient but who used special secret techniques or methods to forcibly unleash high-damage skills and break through a cabin's Defense Barrier.
Now that he had ties to the "Penguin" chamber of commerce and secrets on his person, he ultimately needed to be more cautious.
As the days passed and the next mission drew nearer, Mrs. Wang, the beautiful wealthy patron from the clinic, invited Xu Yue to her home to treat her husband.
When Xu Yue arrived at the luxurious mansion in the concession and placed his hands slick with massage oil upon Mrs. Wang's husband's broad, sturdy back, a knowing look appeared in his eyes.
As expected.
A reincarnator...
Reincarnators could not casually use their power in the real world. Every use deducted Reincarnation Points, while most items had their powers sealed and became "blank slates."
But after returning to reality, they did not lose their own strength!
While massaging this important figure whose identity he still did not know, Xu Yue could clearly sense the explosive power contained beneath the man's flesh.
It even gave Xu Yue a faintly hair-raising sense of danger. He was absolutely a top-tier powerhouse in the Reincarnation Space.
Fortunately, Xu Yue had already prepared himself mentally and disguised himself well. He revealed no flaw and behaved just like an ordinary doctor.
Only after completing the treatment did he politely take his leave and return home.
"Judging by the auction house, the Reincarnation Space's reincarnator population is definitely not small. In that case, it seems only natural that a powerful and influential figure like this would be a reincarnator."
As Xu Yue walked back into the clinic, a long-unheard voice echoed in his mind.
Lieutenant authority activated. Mission Space intelligence acquired six hours in advance. One hundred and seven years ago (743), humanity's natural enemy, the "Titans," suddenly appeared. The surviving humans, faced with a crisis of survival, fled to a place and built three enormous walls. Within that isolated environment, people enjoyed over a century of peace... Note: This mission is Cooperation Mode. Reincarnators attacking one another will face severe penalties, and damage from attacks between reincarnators is reduced by 50%.
"A new mission mode again? Its protection is even greater than Peace Mode's, and this Mission Space..."
After hearing the Space's prompt, a flash of realization crossed Xu Yue's mind.
Attack Titan.
It was another apocalyptic mission, and its difficulty far surpassed Koutetsujou!
However, according to the plot, there was not much danger if one simply remained inside the walls. For newcomers, survival was even easier than in Koutetsujou. After all, the stations in Koutetsujou could easily fall, while in Attack Titan, aside from the first of the three walls, the other two were fairly sturdy.
But for those who wanted to improve their mission results, this mission's high difficulty was not so friendly.
Fortunately, he had studied this work in greater depth when he had been bored. Otherwise, relying on the anime's plot alone, he likely would not have been able to gain what he had gained in Koutetsujou from such a difficult plot mission.
But now...
He could only say that encountering this mission was absolutely wonderful!
Unlike Koutetsujou, where he could only maximize his gains through missions and mission rewards, in the Attack Titan before him, Xu Yue intended to ignore every mission that did not suit him.
The background of the anime Attack Titan began with a woman named Ymir signing a contract with a demon, becoming an Undying Titan in order to protect her people, the Eldians.
However, after gaining the Titan's power, she had only thirteen years to live. This Titan was the Founding Titan!
Then, after thirteen years passed, her marrow fluid was consumed by nine descendants, who became the Nine Titans. According to the latest plot, eight of the Nine Titans had already appeared: the Attack Titan, Jaw Titan, Female Titan, Armored Titan, Colossal Titan, Beast Titan, Cart Titan, and Founding Titan.
Among each generation of the Nine Titans, each Titan could have only one inheritor. But after obtaining an inheritor, if that inheritor injected their own marrow fluid into other Eldians, they would create the mindless and most common Pure Titans, which knew only how to eat people.
The strongest among the Nine Titans, the Founding Titan, also possessed the ability to control Pure Titans.
Using the Titans' power, they established the Eldian Kingdom and ruled the world.
However, due to internal conflict, seven of their Nine Titans were turned by the hostile nation of Marley, while the remaining Attack Titan stayed on the continent to carry out a restoration movement.
The 145th Eldian King, the inheritor of the Founding Titan exclusive to the royal family, brought most of his people to the large island where the story took place.
Using the Founding Titan's ability to control Pure Titans, he built the three great walls. He had Titans crystallize themselves and seal themselves within the walls, using the three walls to fend off the Pure Titans roaming outside. Within them, he created a nation where humans could survive, a completely isolated and closed-off nation where the anime's main story took place.
That king also used the Founding Titan's power to brainwash his people and alter their memories, making them forget about the outside world.
At any one time, each of the Nine Titans had only one inheritor, and each inheritor had only thirteen years to live after inheriting their Titan.
An inheritor gained power by eating the previous inheritor's marrow fluid. If no one obtained it in the end, it would automatically seek out a nearby Eldian child as its inheritor...
At the beginning of the story, it was on the island where the three walls had been built using Titans, inside the Walled City outside the gate of the first wall, Wall Maria.
The protagonist Eren's father was an Eldian dissident who had inherited the Attack Titan's power. He had infiltrated the walls for more than a decade in order to bring the Founding Titan's power back to the continent and resist the Marleyan Empire. Just as his time limit was approaching and he was making a desperate attempt to hunt the Founding Titan, Marleyan Empire's Colossal Titan and Armored Titan, who had the same goal, destroyed the first wall.
The somewhat chuunibyou protagonist, Eren.
The female lead, Mikasa, who was ten thousand times more imposing than the male lead.
The number one male supporting character, Armin, whose athletic ability was poor but who knew how to use his brain.
The Survey Corps' top fighter, the five-foot-three Corporal.
And the three inheritors fighting for Marley—the Armored Titan, Colossal Titan, and Female Titan—all had their own distinct personalities...
Xu Yue's sole target was the marrow fluid of the Nine Titans!
Considering the Reincarnation Space's stinginess toward high-level abilities, the price of the Nine Titans' marrow fluid would definitely exceed imagination.
As for the fact that each Titan could have only one inheritor, that was merely a restriction of this Mission Space. With things like Kakashi's Sharingan appearing, Xu Yue could almost conclude that as long as he possessed the Nine Titans' marrow fluid, it would still work if brought into the Reincarnation Space!
The Reincarnation Space's worlds were endless.
For the Mangekyō's evolution, he could only take a gamble...
Today, there was only one chapter again. Please vote, please vote, please bookmark, please click!
Also, are there any readers who have not watched Attack Titan? Could this brief introduction give you a general impression? There would also be some explanations inserted into the later plot. Even if you had not watched it, you should still be able to understand. Also, I suppose many readers have watched an episode or two, so you should have a rough outline in mind.
Only now did I realize afterward that both Koutetsujou and Attack Titan had been censored. What a pain in the ass~
Let me ask again: are you all familiar enough with things like Great Tang and Storm Riders now?
Great Tang novels and the Storm Riders television drama—how well can you accept them? It feels like I somehow exposed my age. Obviously, I'm only eighteen...
I had actually conceived of this book back when I was writing Breaking the Law. At the time, I sent two openings to the editor, and the editor recommended Breaking the Law. The second and third missions had originally been set in Legend of the Condor Heroes and Return of the Condor Heroes... But, ahem, it was better to change them. Safer that way. I'm afraid of censorship~
