[Spoon Killer Summoning Card]
Type: Permanent Item
Description: When used on any visible target, they will be attacked five times daily by the Spoon Killer for a month. Attack timing is random; each strike ignores defense and deals 1% of max HP as fixed damage.
Note: Costs 500 points per use, 6-month cooldown. Only the player and target can see the Spoon Killer.
"Torment, eh, how do you say torment..."
"One percent?"
Nao rubbed his chin. "Isn't that just a scratch?"
Still, the main impact is clearly mental.
Imagine five surprise attacks a day—sleeping, eating, even on the toilet. A robed figure appears and whacks you on the back of the head with a metal spoon… for a month. No escape.
Nao shivered. Anyone who could endure that had to be insanely patient.
"Buying it," he muttered. "9,000 points for this effect? Cheap."
He planned to save it for Blackbeard.
[Luxury Tent Capsule]
Type: Permanent Item
Description: Deploys a luxury tent (16 square meters) with chandelier, wardrobe, desk, and soft double Simmons bed.
Note: Modified by Ms. Bulma, Capsule Corp.
"Do you really have to sleep outside, Goku?"
The moment he saw "soft double Simmons bed," Nao clicked purchase.
Whether it was double didn't matter—the Simmons was the key.
Wilderness camping would be pure comfort now.
[Infinite Bamboo Rat]
Type: Permanent Item
Description: Produces a raw bamboo rat. Once the main portion is eaten, a new one becomes available. No cooldown or usage limit.
Note: Appears to be in a heatstroke-induced coma, requiring secondary processing and cooking by the player.
"It's very pretty."
"So it's food—like fried chicken or luosifen—must be eaten to refresh?"
Nao frowned. "Thought it was a summon…"
If it were alive, it could scout or be bait. But raw? Tough hide, no appeal.
PASS.
[Jade Slash]
Type: Special Swordsmanship Technique
Description:A powerful swordsmanship skill that only dual-wielding swordsmen can master. Using both swords, it unleashes a stormy, ferocious assault on the target. Once thoroughly mastered, you can even cut out surging gales that shake the soul.
Note: Twin technique of Steel Tempest.
"Hasagi!"
"Yone's swordsmanship, huh?" Nao muttered. "Not a tornado like Yasuo, more like gales..."
Definitely this week's best item.
35,000 points was steep, but he bought it instantly.
He'd already absorbed most of Ryuma's Enlightenment Notes—but Ryuma was a single-sword style.
Nao still lacked strong dual-wield sword arts.
[Ancient Sacrificial Ritual]
Type: Consumable
Description: A miraculous item from the continent of Azeroth. When used on a sufficiently thick tree, you will consume the entire tree and instantly restore 60% of your stamina within five seconds
Note: 8 uses; 24-hour cooldown.
"A gift from a Dead Game."
Eight heals, each restoring over half stamina—a great recovery item.
But that description…
He looked at the thick heather tree outside.
Nao winced. "Wait, I really have to eat the whole tree?"
No way that doesn't cause massive oral trauma. Even if you live, your mouth might stay tree-shaped forever.
[Somewhat Miraculous Fishing Rod]
Type: Permanent Item
Description: Fishing rod with magic attractor. Spend 200 points daily to cast once in the sea, randomly catching miraculous items.
Note: Requires Advanced Fishing or higher. Repeated use in one sea lowers average item quality.
"Fishing fanatics never return empty-handed!"
Yes!
His Master-level Fishing finally had purpose.
"Basically 200 points for a daily lottery?"
Nao clapped his fist. "Trying it first thing tomorrow on the ship!"
With over 1,000 points flowing in daily, 200 was nothing.
In summary:
Of six items, only the Bamboo Rat didn't interest him. The rest were very practical. He added all five to his cart.
[Your points: 182,500. Spend 97,000 to buy 5 items?]
After a low-spending month, he'd saved over 40,000—partly from early support rewards from G2's Marine girls and Shia's 20,000-point check-in bonus.
With money to burn, he confirmed. Nearly 100,000 points gone, five items in hand.
"Trying the sword technique first…"
Excited, he slipped out of bed, tucked in Shia, and headed to the training ground.
Midnight. Silent and empty, with fireflies flickering.
He drew his Wind Blade and Azakana Sword—left and right hand.
Closing his eyes, he focused on the newly grasped sword skill. A chilling aura gathered.
It felt like sword energy—quiet but ever-present.
Like the wind whispering…
Now!
Boom!
Nao's eyes snapped open. Sharp and cold gaze. His swords slashed forward—gales burst forth like beasts from a cage!
"Two-Sword Style… Jade Slash!"
BOOM!
The violent windstorm ripped through the entire training ground.
Steel equipment, anchored fences—all torn up and hurled into the air!
Powerful!
He sheathed his blades, grinning at the devastation.
It was his first try—still unrefined, needing prep time—but the power was stunning.
Good thing no one was around. Accidental injury would've been a nightmare.
Hmm?
Just as he was about to continue, his peripheral vision caught movement.
On the far end of the training field, someone had appeared.
Holding a water bottle, standing dazed.
Hair a mess, shirt shredded, pants long gone. Legs stiff—utterly miserable.
