Orange Talent: Soul of the Samurai!

Chapter 40: Orange Talent - Soul of the Samurai! (Seeking Follow-up Reads! Seeking Follow-up Reads!)

"Faster, faster!"

Abel was getting a bit anxious.

He didn't think Doflamingo would wait for him forever under the Navy's pursuit.

He even suspected the guy might already be preparing to slip away.

He couldn't just throw away the long-term meal ticket he'd finally found.

[Confirming order item. Initiating transfer.]

[Basic Wish Order completed. Customer gave a five-star rating (Perfect Review)!]

[Comment: Hahaha, this is amazing! Windfall! I'm rich, I'm really rich, I'm going to buy the best wine and drink until I pass out! Hic~]

[Five-star rating grants an additional 100% bonus to base Trading Points. Remaining rewards have been automatically distributed. Please check them.]

[Due to the customer's extreme satisfaction, you have received an additional reward - White Yaksha's complete combat experience (including sword skill comprehension) and the talent: Soul of the Samurai (Orange).]

[Detected host receiving a five-star review. Intermediate trading qualification promotion details available.]

[Condition 1: Receive one five-star review (Completed)]

[Condition 2: Complete thirty Wish Orders, with a 60% rating of three stars or higher. (Not Completed)]

[Condition 3: Complete an assessment for a Special Wish Order, requiring a rating of three stars or higher. (Not Completed)]

[Note: Upon completion of Conditions 1 and 2, you may spend 1,000 Trading Points to obtain one opportunity for a Special Wish Order assessment. If the assessment fails, after a 24-hour cooldown period, you may spend 1000 X current assessment attempts' worth of Trading Points to get another chance.]

"Holy crap, a five-star review?!"

This time, Abel was truly shocked!

He hadn't held out much hope, but Gintoki had given him a huge surprise!

"Damn it, how much were those treasures worth just now?"

Abel was a little flustered, but he didn't regret it at all.

Compared to a five-star review, even the most valuable treasures might not be able to buy it.

Not to mention he had no chance to keep them for himself; even if he had taken them out, he would have only gotten scraps, not this satisfaction!

Doubling them only gave him two hundred Trading Points, which was merely a bonus to his current haul.

[Wooden Sword Toya Lake] (Blue)

Equipment Item

Description: A factory-made item bought from a TV shopping channel, but it has become somewhat different due to the infusion of some idealistic power.

Effect: When practicing sword (blade) techniques, learning efficiency is doubled. (Can stack with other equipment or skill effects)

PS: It's very fragile. Only a fool would use it for combat.

Abel ran outside while checking his current haul.

He already had the Purple Talent [Rapid Digestion]. Once in the [Full Stomach] state, he would gain a tenfold bonus when learning any knowledge.

Now, with this [Wooden Sword Toya Lake] that could increase sword skill learning efficiency and stack effects, wouldn't he instantly become a sword genius?!

No, he was already a sword genius!

Because he had successfully absorbed White Yaksha's complete combat experience (including sword skill comprehension).

Although he had a lot of new memories, they were pure and integrated quickly and smoothly, as if he had personally experienced those battles.

Abel believed that with diligent practice in the coming period, he would quickly build an incredibly solid foundation in swordsmanship.

With such a strong foundation, learning any sword technique would be twice as effective and yield rapid progress!

However, the biggest surprise was yet to come.

[Acquired Orange Talent - Soul of the Samurai]

[Description: An unyielding soul forged with tenacious will and unwavering belief. Those who possess it can often unleash astonishing combat power even when critically injured in battle, turning the tables on their enemies!]

[When entering a 'severely injured' state, the host will unleash 300% combat power and become immune to one fatal effect until they leave the 'severely injured' state or enter a 'near-death' state. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

[When entering a 'near-death' state, the host must rely on their inextinguishable belief to complete three sit-ups, clearing all temporary negative status effects and reviving with full health. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

"Woohoo, let's go!"

The extra rewards from a five-star review were truly extraordinary!

One word: awesome!

This was the kind of talent that was truly amazing!

Compared to the [Soul of the Samurai], that [Ghoul Heart] was utter garbage, not even worth taking for free.

As expected, you get what you pay for. Orange-tier talents completely crush the dregs of blue-tier ones.

I wonder if it'll improve at all after evolving into a Purple Talent.

If the side effects are still that severe, Abel would probably wish he never had this talent at all.

As for the promotion requirements unlocked after receiving five-star reviews, that was an unexpected bonus.

At least he finally knew what conditions needed to be met to obtain [Intermediate Trading Qualification].

He had luckily completed the most difficult condition, Condition One.

Condition Two wasn't difficult either; a 60% three-star and above review rate was quite lenient.

Only Condition Three...

It not only required completing Conditions One and Two first but also spending money to buy a 'ticket'!

The first time cost one thousand trading points, the second time two thousand, and the third time three thousand.

If someone unlucky encountered this, they might go bankrupt before even successfully getting promoted to [Intermediate Trading Qualification].

So, he absolutely had to prepare beforehand before attempting it. Otherwise, failing a few times would really drain his resources.

It would be best to get it done in one go.

As Abel was thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a voice from above.

"I... I finally found you! The Navy is attacking! Young Master sent me to find you."

Buffalo descended from the sky, still catching his breath as he spoke in a hurry.

Even Abel was surprised. He had already prepared himself to be abandoned here, but he didn't expect that Doflamingo would actually be so considerate?

"Thanks. I'll treat you to a deluxe ice cream when we get back."

"One isn't enough, I want two!"

The chubby kid was not polite at all.

Abel smiled. "I'll treat you to three. Let's go!"

With that, he sat on Buffalo's back. The chubby kid's eyes lit up as soon as he heard Abel's generosity, and he immediately took off into the sky.

Come to think of it, besides Baby-5, Abel was the first person to ride the 'Buffalo'.

After all, there were no other children his age, and Buffalo couldn't carry too many heavy adults right now.

On the way back, Abel, out of curiosity, asked about what had happened before, and then he finally understood.

No wonder Doflamingo had suddenly changed his tune; it turned out Senor had given him a push.

Alright, that box of cigarettes wasn't sent in vain!

It seems he still needed to maintain a good relationship with this outlier in the Donquixote Family in the future.
