System Mall Has Opened

[Congratulations Host, compatibility with Ryomen Sukuna has increased by 10%.→]

[Current Host compatibility with Gojo Satoru/Ryomen Sukuna totals 50%, System Mall has been unlocked for Host.]

As soon as Su Wu agreed to let Maro follow him, the system chimed.

Let me see what's in the System Mall.

Su Wu casually found a place to sit, and Maro limped along behind him, silent and not crying out in pain, his face always wearing an expression of worship and admiration.

The white-haired youth seemed to have a vacant gaze, but in reality, he was intently staring at the virtual screen only he could see.

The System Mall had many... Cursed Tools.

It made sense, considering it was a system prepared for the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

But in the Hunter x Hunter world, would these Cursed Tools be able to exert their original effects?

And the prices of these Cursed Tools...

There was a very familiar weapon in the item list.

[Item Name: Ama-no-Sakahoko.
Effect: Forcibly cancels activated Cursed Techniques.
Price: 10 Billion Geni.
Evaluation: The Gojo Satoru among Cursed Tools; Toji Fushiguro used this weapon to get Gojo Satoru's first kill.]

Is this why you're selling it for 10 billion Geni? Fine, I admit, it's quite worth it.

But would this thing even work in the Hunter x Hunter world?

[Host need not worry, all products have been modified and are applicable to any world.]

Well said, and the effects are tempting, but the price is simply prohibitive.

Su Wu currently only has 50 million on him, not enough to buy anything.

"System, do you have Gojo Satoru's sunglasses?" Su Wu asked internally.

[This item is an exclusive item for Six Eyes users. The target audience is extremely small, so there is no stock in the mall.]

Too few people need it to make much money, so you don't sell it, huh? Greedy merchant.

"Actually, sunglasses aren't essential, are they? I quite like this feeling..." Su Wu said to himself.

Although at first, when the burden was too much, it felt like an electric drill was boring into his brain, and when he got nosebleeds, there would be a buzzing sound in his ears.

But after experiencing it many times and getting used to it, these things didn't have much impact. Fighting people while having a headache and a nosebleed didn't affect him, and it felt quite special.

If this feeling disappeared, it would be a bit boring.

Many times, Su Wu felt he had masochistic tendencies. This was definitely not self-consolation, definitely not.

"What kind of feeling does Master like?" The figure with blonde bobbed hair suddenly peeked out, asking with inexplicable excitement.

"...The feeling of defeating a very strong opponent," Su Wu answered decisively after less than two seconds of thought.

"I see..." Maro's eyes widened at first, then he said with a look of adoration, "As expected of Master."

Could this guy be my toxic fan? An extremely rabid fan? Someone who thinks everything I say is correct?

Su Wu narrowed his eyes and sized the other up for a moment before looking away again.

Well, it doesn't matter what the other person thinks.

The thoughts of the weak are unimportant because they can't cause any impact.

Su Wu's attention returned to the System Mall, his gaze fixed on one of the items.

[Item Name: Ugly Treasure
Effect: Can store items.
Price: 1 Billion Geni.
Evaluation: A storage expert that calls out 'Mama'.]

Although this thing is indeed a bit ugly, it can store things, and it only costs 1 billion. It's worth buying.

Every time he carried a backpack, the space inside was extremely limited, and he had to restock every few hours or days, which was very troublesome.

With Ugly Treasure, he wouldn't have to worry about supplies even if he lived in the wilderness for a month or even a year.

Ama-no-Sakahoko could also be arranged.

So the only problem now is--

"How should I earn 11 billion Geni?" he mused thoughtfully.

Robbery? Wouldn't that be bad? Should I investigate which gang is richer before making a move?

Doing business? Business requires investment first; it's not a quick way to make money.

After all, as the old saying goes, murder and arson bring golden belts. Most quick money-making methods are not very legal.

Even in the Hunter x Hunter world, robbery and murder are illegal; otherwise, why would there be wanted criminals?

If he did that, he'd end up on the wanted list... Though thinking about it like that seems kind of interesting?

But if hunters kept coming after him for his bounty, the more he killed, the higher the bounty would get, and eventually, it might even attract a cleanup from the Hunter Association.

In that case, he'd become the villain of this world.

Forget it, let's think of another way to make money.

"Sir..." A hand offered him a cup of juice. The cup was made from dark green leaves, and the juice was freshly squeezed apple juice.

"Do you need money?" Maro asked with concern.

"Ah," Su Wu took the juice, replying perfunctorily.

"Please use it," Maro said, handing over a card with both hands.

"When I left home, I took some things with me and sold them for Geni."

"But I don't have anything to spend money on; I only brought these things because I felt unbalanced psychologically," he said, lowering his head, his voice calm.

"How much is on it?" Su Wu took the card without politeness.

"About two hundred million Geni. It's still a long way from the amount you want, sir, because there weren't many things I could take with me at the time," Maro's voice sounded a little self-reproachful.

When he left home, he had taken small objects from his biological father's study. He couldn't take anything larger, nor could he openly carry them away.

"Sigh... you're quite wealthy, aren't you." Su Wu stuffed the card into his backpack, silently declaring it had a new owner.

"Should I call you young master?" the white-haired, blue-eyed boy asked, seemingly mockingly.

The blond figure lowered his head, fiddling with the campfire in front of him, constantly paying attention to the heat of the roasting meat.

The flames crackled, and he spoke softly at this moment:

"My full name is Maro Pelisha. My father, Kasumu Pelisha, is one of the actual powers in Yorknew. The value of the items I brought out is insignificant in his eyes."

"But I am merely an insignificant illegitimate child. My mother grew up in the pleasure district as a prostitute, and my father has over thirty biological children alone."

"I was questioned for impure blood, called a bastard born from a promiscuous mother and other customers, and branded with the label of low birth."

"My other siblings looked down on me and took pleasure in bullying me, often competing to see who could make me cry and beg for help faster with new methods."

After listening to the other's confession, Su Wu's expression didn't change.

Too common, no novelty.

He hadn't experienced the annihilation of his entire family with dead parents, nor was he plagued by terminal illnesses.

After watching various anime, playing many games, and seeing many "beautiful, strong, tragic" NPCs and characters, Maro's background couldn't stir even the slightest emotional ripple within him.

The blond boy continued to narrate, his tone calm, even blurring many details. He didn't describe his feelings then or now, merely speaking in an observer's tone:

"Once, when I was locked in a dog cage and about to faint from hunger, I met a man. He didn't rescue me from the cage, but he made me a very delicious meal.

"As he was leaving, he told me he was a Gourmet Hunter. He said cages were for pets and hoped that the next time he saw me, I wouldn't be in a cage."

"I want to become a Gourmet Hunter too."

"Ah, it's done. Please taste." He picked up the roasted meat and handed it to Su Wu, a bright smile on his face.

"Your cooking skills really are worthy of a Gourmet Hunter," Su Wu commented while eating the roasted meat, as if he hadn't heard the other's confession.
