25 Chapter 25

The day after the festivals would be our last class, where we would become interns. Before riding the bus, Midnight walked past me, saying, "Ara Ara. Too bad, I had a good reward for you. But you lost it." She teased me on purpose.

I replied, "Don't worry. Only high expectations lead to disappointment."

She narrowed her eyebrows, "Your expectations were low?"

I nodded.

"Even after the way I whispered to your ear," she said, putting a hand on her hip.

"Rejection is nothing personal," I replied, "Well, keep your reward for yourself. The only thing I want now is to take a nap."

Midnight reached for her skin-applied suit, rubbed it a bit, and said, "I can put you to sleep fast."

The hormones of teenagers made me imagine things. I closed my eyes, almost imagining that I was sleeping with her.

If someone blamed me, I'd ask them not to imagine a pink elephant. They'd do it anyway because that's how the brain works.

"Anyway, I'll have a nice talk with you in class tomorrow," she spoke.

We then rode the bus. Taking the last seat, I closed my eyes and took a nap. Very soon, I found myself at my house.

After greeting my family, I went to my room, took a few hair strands, and offered them to Orochimaru. Then, I offered a hair strand of Mirio in the Channel One since there were other worlds of superheroes. I did the same in level 2 worlds, since there were some advanced medical techniques and cloning technologies.

I then asked no one to bother me before I went to sleep.

I woke up around 4 AM when the alarm rang. I brushed my teeth, went back to my room, and opened the system.

I got a load of messages about Mirio's DNA, with people asking me if it's really given the ability to become untouchable. Many left offers.

But there was someone who caught my attention, Underworld Joker.

[If that's true, then tell me more about it. I'll give you 500k for it, 700 k for exclusive rights.]

You know, what's the biggest cheat in dimensional trading? It's not getting VIP privileges, and it's not having good stuff. It's being rich before getting the system. Orochimaru, Joker, and those from other worlds who had cooperations selling drugs, if they got their hands on the system, then hundreds of thousands of coins, if not millions, would be in their hand from the start. Not to mention they could have access to their world's rarest resources and sell them.

There was another message from Orochimaru.

[Hey, hey! Brat, we had a history of dealing. Why are you offering that in the market?]

Orochimaru was my passive income source, and I have been gaining a lot out of him recently.

[I want to see how pricey it is. I don't want anyone to take advantage of me.]

[You think I'm anyone.]

[You're the anyone.]

[Sweet. How much did they offer you for that?]

[800k, 1 million for exclusive rights]

[They have cloning technologies]

[I believe so]

[Listen. Do you know what's the easiest way to get someone's power in the system?]

[Buy it]

[Yes. But think about it. You could sell your own knowledge, or force someone to sell it. Even bloodlines. Superpowers should be no different. You force someone to sell it. I believe in your case; you can't do that."]

[You're saying?]

[Give me the exclusive rights, and we'd make a passive income out of it]

[How much would it take me to wait?]

[1 year for the specific cells to mature as I won't clone humans as it takes too many resources.]

One year is too much of a time to wait.

[Why? You could clone others.]

[That's different. To clone the quirk itself and to clone humans and milk them are different things. In your brother's case, all I needed was to make a farm for his hair, and it worked. For that saliva, it's also easy. But for that guy to have each cell travel through everything, it means that I'd need to make a lot of adjustments]

[Not only that, but there is the potential to control which part to phase with. Doing it with movement requires training. But then, it's the ultimate attack and defense.]

[This makes it better.]

[Listen, I've got a better idea.]

[What?]

[No exclusive rights. But you get it anyway.]

[You want to sell it to everyone who offers a high price. You have more hair, right.]

[Yep. And I plan to train during the next time, so I won't wait for a year. Let's say there is a crisis coming.]

[So, how about this. I'll offer you 1.2 million coins, exclusive rights, and no passive income shared.]

I'm not about to wait for one year, and there were quirks worth selling more than Mirio's. So to take a huge sum of money and use it to prepare for the next couple of years, it would be worthy for me. With 1.2 million coins, I could level up and prepare to face All for One. I could buy expensive stuff and resell it in my world, earning money.

I went back to the Joker, asking him to raise the price as I got 1.3 million for exclusive right. He refused and offered me one million, thinking I was bluffing. Well, he wasn't wrong.

I went back to Orochimaru.

[Deal] I said.

[What. No negotiating, not discussing with others. Is there something off?]

[There are people with more broken powers.] I shrugged. [I'm sure you won't give me a bad offer, or else, you know, I can become a crazy scientist myself. Besides, I'm getting high passive income from paralyzing enzymes.]

[Yeah, they sell 20k each. And they are getting higher in demand. Earning a few million in a year won't be trouble.]

[See. Now, let's make an exclusive contract]

[+1.2 million]

[Achievement unlocked….] [Achievement unlocked….]

[Congratulations, you leveled up to level 3]

Wait! I just leveled up to level 3. My heart skipped a beat, and my hand clenched into my pocket.

I entered the chat of the level 3 worlds, and I saw what they had for sale.

Apparently, they were very advanced worlds that used magic. Their technology seemed to be more advanced than Earth.

[Magic Spells for sale 2k]

[Selling my magic knowledge of the 2nd circle 10K]

[Magic Circles guide 20 k]

[Teleportation spell 30k]

[Magic Armor 50k]

[Magic sword 12 k]

[Quantum-Magic Spaceship 3 million.]

There was even a spaceship that could take you to another planet with a speed that surpassed the light.

I could understand how things were pricey, even though I believed the cultivation worlds were stronger.

Cultivation was about gaining power to break out of the world. Magic was about breaking the rules of the world and manipulating them.

Other interesting stuff was here.

[Zampaktu for sale 300k] I inwardly told the guy to fuck himself up.

[Soul power of 7th seat 400 k] Another fuck off.

Shaking my head, I thought about better things to spend my money on, such as more chakra from Channel Zero, maybe bloodlines, and resources. Of course, I thought about buying a few spells.

[+ 1-year worth of Magic Knowledge of 2nd circle mage]

He still had over 1.2 million thanks to his passive income.

He went to other channels, and he bought a few stuff and techniques.

[+ 8 heaven pills]

[+High-grade spiritual stone.]

[Body enhancement 1000 years old drink]

[+ Chunin worth chakra] why I didn't find a jonin selling it? Don't they wanna level up? Anyway, I continued shopping.

[+ Lightning Jutsu: Lightning net]

[+ Ninjutsu: Body flicker Jutsu]

[+Ninjutsu: Transformation Jutsu]

[+Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Jutsu]

In total, I had spent around 300k. But on the good hand, I had enough money and resources to cultivate.

Now, for Wuxia techniques. Since I was at Earth level, there were techniques that suited my level.

[Sun Beam: Turn Qi into a sun laser beam] [Heaven leap: Leap high in the air with Qi] [Snake footwork: increases the speed by 2 folds] [Inner cultivation energy 10 years] That's another 40k coins.

I then looked at the storage, and I selected the knowledge of 2nd circle mage, absorbing it. My head hurt; I started getting new information. When it ended, I learned more about magic.

In the world of the magician who sold me magic, magicians were ranked between 10th circle to 1st circle. With the difference of the strength and the ability to cast spells between each rank. The strength difference could be said 2 folds. I learned a few low-level spells, how to move light things with my mind, and how to draw magic circles, and basics and all. All I need now.

With the mana I had now, I could do something. Around the mana in my heart, a circle formed. I tried to form the second, but I failed.

'Guess the first circle is good. Also, I have a generous amount of mana anyway.'

I opened my hand, the mana in it drawing a circle, transforming into what seemed like fire.

I shook my head, deciding not to focus on magic for now. It could prove useful someday though.

I looked at the other stuff I had in the storage with the option to absorb, getting chakra and the ninjutsu absorbed into my brain.

I had to turn off the system because my head started to hurt from consuming all of the knowledge.

When I checked my phone, I found that it was already 8 am. My heart skipped a beat, thinking that I skipped school. There was a message from Nejire.

[Hey, wanna hang out later?]

[You skipped school too?]

[No, silly. Didn't you hear the teacher? She said we'd have 2 days off after the sports festival.]

[Oh, I see]

[Weren't you paying attention?]

I had paid attention to Midnight when she said that, just not to what she said. I believe that I wasn't the only one as I doubted other guys thought the same.

Anyway, I was happy. In addition, for enough money to train for 2 years, It meant that I had complete 2 days to train.

"The next year will be the introduction of the villains. So that means that I had to prepare for them."

[Forget about that. Let's meet later in the gym.]

[Okay.]

-x-X-x-

!

I was at the gym, sitting in the corner after finishing a quick workout, waiting for Nejire to finish.

Since we had a few days to spare, I didn't mind wasting a bit of time… since I'm spotting her squats, there was nothing such as wasting time.

"By the way, there's something that had been bothering me," Nejire said, coming next to me and rubbing her head with the towel, "you never gave off the vibe of a martial arts master."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

She grabbed her phone, saying, "I've edited the footage of your fights with Mirio, and I've looked through the internet. What you showed was something that used to be called only movie martial arts. Most who claim to use them in real life would be deemed as frauds." She then turned her phone to me, showing the footage where I flipped Mirio upside down by slightly touching his legs and holding his wrist, then forced him to hit the ground.

"You really want to know?" I asked.

She nodded.

I activated my Sharingan, my eyes turning red. Pointing to my eyes, I said, "This is what happens when I pour my energy here. I get eyes that are able to copy any movement, and I've been binging martial arts movies lately."

Better explaining than 'I bought them from another dimension.'

"So this is what happens when you direct your energy to your eyes?" she asked, and I nodded. She added, "Amazing, but this makes me wonder, what happens if you poured your energy somewhere else."

"What do you mean?" I asked, her cheeks blushing more.

With a wry smile, she pointed at my crotch, saying, "That?"

I looked at my boner. I then started coughing violently. The way she said that was innocent, yet it wasn't.

"I don't want to risk it."

"Come on. I want to see you try," she said.

I rubbed my neck.

I knew if I pushed this now, I'd end up thinking for the rest of my life if she was hinting something physical with me, and I'd regret it each time.

At the same time, this girl simply never held back her curiosity.

"It's a public place. I'll show you some other time," I replied.

"It's a deal then," she said, extending her pinky finger to me. Holding back my urge to chuckle, I extended my pinky finger to her and shook it. That action was so cute that I wanted to hug her and eat her right now.

"Anyway, I'll be leaving for now," I replied as I landed a kiss on her cheek.

Raising her eyebrow, she asked, "Is there something up?"

"Yeah. I've discovered a few techniques with my aura, and I want to try."

"Can I watch?" she asked.

I shrugged. "It's not like I'm going to keep them secret anyway." I then thought for a bit and said, "Let's move somewhere isolated."

-x-X-x-

I was in a nearby forest with Nejire, staring at a big rock in front of me. I was quite curious to test the techniques that I had bought from the system, especially the wuxia ones.

Let's start with the Sun Beam.

I raised two fingers, and they started vibrating before glowing yellow.

"Don't tell me it's a naughty technique," Nejire said, quite blushing as she looked at my hand. I get it, it vibrates too much.

I aimed at the rock. 'Better be worth the money.'

A finger-sized golden beam left my fingers, flying at high speed, hitting the rock, piercing it, making a 1-meter diameter hole. I was certain that if I reached heaven level, I could destroy a house-sized rock with it. Also, this technique took about a quarter of my energy.

"Look, the hole stretched too much," I pointed, trying to joke.

Instead of laughing, she opened her eyes widely. "Your aura can do that?"

"It's not that amazing. You can destroy a house, right?"

She nodded.

"Nejire, hold me if it fails," I said, before squatting. I wanted to see the Heaven Leap technique. Let's just try a small version.

"What do you mean?"

Concentrating my chi through the meridians of my legs. The next second, I knew, I was 40 meters high in the air.

Did I put too much Chi? I was certain because when I looked down, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I didn't know if I could handle this or not. Even if I could, the fall would be painful.

'I'm dumb. I should have tested the fall damage first.'

Luckily, as I fell a few meters, Nejire got behind me and held me from my shoulders, helping me to land slowly. The feeling of her chest crushing on my back gave me weird butterflies. It felt better than hugging her. Maybe I should let her spot me.

"That was scary," I said.

Putting her hands on her hips, she pouted, "You think? Try seeing that from my perspective. I really thought you were going to die. What would have happened if you went to test this alone and fell down and got your leg broken?"

"Go to the hospital?" I replied.

"Your safety isn't a joke, you know," she said, "That makes you a bad boy."

My heart pumped happily hearing that.

Deciding to change the topic, I said, "You got a point. Wanna eat ice cream?"

There was no point in testing other skills in front of her.

She smiled and nodded.
