Exploiting a Bug~

Filled with plans for the future, Peter returned home to Queens.

"Thank goodness, Peter, you're finally back! Want something more to eat?"

Hearing the door open, May immediately poked her head out of the kitchen, a loving smile on her face.

Ben also rose from the sofa and grumbled with some dissatisfaction:

"Do you know how dangerous New York is at night? I should have picked you up!"

Since Gwen Stacy had already explained over the phone that they had been doing proper business at the Osborn Group, Ben and May did not reprimand Peter much. They were more worried that something might happen to him on his way back.

Faced with the genuine concern of his two elders, Peter, whose parents had died early in his previous life and who had spent many years alone and lonely, could not help feeling warmth fill his heart.

He could not resist giving them both a big hug, then said earnestly:

"Sorry, Ben, May. I promise I won't make you worry again."

He was not the half-grown boy from the original story, going through puberty and still arguing back with Ben and May.

After awakening the memories of his previous life, his mental age far surpassed that of his peers.

All he wanted now was to properly honor the two elders and let them live prosperous, happy lives from now on.

Peter's sudden hug and promise left Ben and May at a loss for a moment.

The two of them had originally worried that children going through puberty were sensitive, and that harsh words might make Peter fly into a rage.

But now, Peter's hug made both elders' noses sting, and their hearts filled with comfort.

Peter had been considerate since childhood. Now he had grown up even more and knew how to understand and care for them... How wonderful!

After reassuring Ben and May and saying good night to them, Peter quickly went upstairs and returned to his room.

The instant he shut the door, he silently said in his heart:

"System, open the shop."

The next second, a dazzling virtual screen suddenly unfolded before his eyes.

The products were still the same. After buying the Horse Talisman, only seven items remained.

After looking over the seven items, Peter quickly made up his mind:

"System, purchase Makoto Kyogoku's Karate Mastery."

Makoto Kyogoku was the peak of combat power in the Detective Conan World! A fighting god who could reach superhuman territory through physical strength alone!

He had taken down fifty knife-wielding gangsters barehanded.

While wearing a gas mask that obstructed his vision, he had caught every BB pellet fired at him with his bare hands and taken down every bodyguard.

With just a few punches, he could break marble pillars as thick as a person's embrace!

He was practically a humanoid Star Platinum. In the field of karate, even the senior disciple of the Duan Shui Liu school was only fit to polish his shoes!

Even Daredevil, renowned in the Marvel Universe for his fighting skills, would look like a little brother in front of him...

Peter had not thought much of this product before, believing that its price of 500 Sacrifice Points was somewhat inflated.

After all, when he himself was just a rookie, he would need at least three to five years of grueling training to reach Makoto Kyogoku's level.

By then, it would be far too late!

But things were different now!

With physical abilities and reflexes far surpassing the original Makoto Kyogoku's, perfectly mastering his combat experience would be child's play!

And Makoto Kyogoku's karate techniques could unleash tenfold, or even hundredfold, power with the support of Peter's current body.

The combination of those two abilities was far more than simply one plus one!

Therefore, Peter purchased it without hesitation.

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 'Makoto Kyogoku's Karate Mastery'. Remaining Sacrifice Points: 2500.]

The instant the voice fell, a massive torrent of information surged violently into Peter's mind like floodwaters bursting through a dam!

Countless fighting scenes, countless instances of muscle memory, countless experiences of life-and-death battles...

All of Makoto Kyogoku's combat instincts, techniques, and mentality were completely imprinted into Peter's soul and body at that moment!

Peter's body instinctively assumed a karate opening stance. The moment he struck, every muscle in his body crackled faintly. The force of his strike tore through the air with such ferocity that the gust from his palm ripped a hole in the bedsheet.

More importantly, he could feel that his control over his strength and use of his body had improved by more than one level in an instant!

Now, he was no longer a rookie with nothing but brute strength.

After just a short period of adjustment, he could become a true grandmaster of combat!

With physical abilities surpassing Captain America's, coupled with Makoto Kyogoku's godlike combat techniques, Peter was confident that, rounding things off, he could now be called a "little Captain America"!

He still had 2500 Sacrifice Points left.

After a brief hesitation, Peter gave another command:

"Purchase 'Chakra Seed'!"

For most ordinary people, this thing was completely useless.

That was because chakra was the product of combining physical energy and spiritual energy!

This meant that even if a weakling could extract chakra, the amount they extracted would be extremely limited.

Furthermore, this product did not include instructions for using ninjutsu. Even if ordinary people mastered the extraction method, without knowing how to form hand seals, they could only stare helplessly at their meager chakra.

Its cost-effectiveness was pitifully low!

But for Peter now, this Chakra Seed was a treasure!

As a transmigrator, and with the enhancement of the Lizard Serum, both his spiritual energy and physical energy were now dozens or even hundreds of times greater than an ordinary person's!

As a result, the amount of chakra he could extract was comparable to that of an Uzumaki clansman from the Naruto World!

Besides, he still had the invincible Horse Talisman!

Once a ninja overexerted their chakra, they would immediately die!

But the Horse Talisman could heal the cellular damage caused by his excessive chakra extraction!

That meant not only did he have a huge amount of chakra, but he could also extract it repeatedly without limit!

He had found an exploit!

What did a humanoid Tailed Beast mean, huh? (Leans back strategically.)

Someone might ask:

Ah, you don't know ninjutsu. So what could you even do with chakra if you had it?

The answer was, if he could not use elemental ninjutsu, did he not still have Chakra Enhanced Strength and the Rasengan!

Especially the Rasengan!

This A-rank ninjutsu, developed by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and brought to prominence by the prince Naruto Uzumaki, required neither hand seals nor chakra conversion into another nature!

As long as you had enough chakra and mastered chakra shape transformation, you could use it!

It was practically a ninjutsu tailor-made for Peter as he was now!

So what if he could not use elemental ninjutsu? So what if he could not form hand seals?

There was nothing in this world that one ball could not solve.

If there was, then make another Big Ball Rasengan, Multiple Big Ball Rasengan, Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan... There was always one that suited you!

"Exchange for 'Chakra Seed'!"

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 'Chakra Seed'. Remaining Sacrifice Points: 2000.]
