Capítulo 74: Hunter [74]: Settlement
Swallowing the capsule in his mouth, he recovered some of his health points. Shinobu Kocho and a few others who weren't seriously injured began bandaging the wounds of the others.
"Mr. Red, is this Nichirin Blade yours?"
Shinobu Kocho waved a dagger-sized Nichirin Blade, smiling at Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu took the Nichirin Blade calmly, without any embarrassment. He nodded and said, "Yes. Your Nichirin Blade has a unique structure, suitable for injecting toxins. This tricked Kibutsuji well. I'll give you part of the credit for this."
"Ara~ Mr. Red is still so interesting... By the way, what toxin did you inject into Kibutsuji Muzan? The effect looks very good."
Shinobu Kocho, being a poison master herself, was curious.
Lin Jiu then told the Hashira present about Tamayo's story. He mentioned Yoriichi Tsugikuni and also recounted Yoriichi's experiences at that time.
The Hashira all looked enlightened. They only now learned that the progenitor of demons, the source of all tragedies, had such a tragic experience, and they couldn't help but give Yoriichi Tsugikuni a thumbs up.
Later, Lin Jiu also mentioned, "Shinobu, you've been injecting yourself with wisteria poison for a long time, it's too much and harmful to your body. You can go and research a solution with Miss Tamayo."
"I will."
Shinobu Kocho smiled sincerely. She felt that Lin Jiu, whom she met during that mission, was like someone her sister had found to help her.
Finally, it was over!
"Bro Giyu, don't forget to take Toko as your disciple."
Lin Jiu reminded Giyu Tomioka.
Kyojuro Rengoku asked puzzled, "Haven't all the demons been eliminated? Do we still need successors?"
Lin Jiu smiled lightly, "That's thinking too small. No matter when having a skill allows you to live better."
"That's right! Why don't we let that little girl become the successor of my Festival God?"
Tengen Uzui agreed with Lin Jiu's words.
Soon, the first ray of sunlight of dawn shone on the earth, gradually covering their bodies. Kibutsuji Muzan's body on the ground began to collapse, turning to ashes. At the same time, the toxins made from his cells that Kibutsuji Muzan had injected into their bodies during the battle gradually dissipated.
And in Lin Jiu's mind, the heavenly voice from the Reincarnation Paradise also sounded.
[You have killed: Demon Progenitor · Kibutsuji Muzan.]
[As Kibutsuji Muzan was the origin of demons, you gain 10% of the World's Source, now having a total of 46% of the World's Source.]
[Gained 2000 contribution points. Current contribution points: 4470!]
At the place where Kibutsuji Muzan's body dissipated, a brilliant blue treasure chest floated above. Lin Jiu collected the treasure chest, and the Reincarnation Paradise's voice sounded in his ears again.
[Hidden task: Savior (Completed), 10,000 Paradise Coins, Soul Crystal (Small) x1, to be distributed at settlement.]
[Yes/No to return immediately! You can stay in this world for up to 24 hours.]
"I understand all this, but can someone tell me why I gained one point in Charm?"
Lin Jiu glanced at the Charm attribute that had become 8 points in his attributes, a question mark slowly bubbling up in his mind.
No one could enlighten Lin Jiu, so he didn't dwell on it. Looking around at everyone under the sunlight, Gyomei Himejima didn't face death, no child's soul told him the truth of the past; Muichiro Tokito still looked at the sky expressionlessly, not having regained his memories; Obanai Iguro and Mitsuri Kanroji didn't confess their love at the moment of death...
But none of this mattered to Lin Jiu. If they wanted to, they would still experience these things naturally.
Lin Jiu and the others returned to the headquarters to find it exceptionally lively. The members of the Demon Slayer Corps and the hidden members had all been summoned to the headquarters and were decorating it festively!
"It's indeed Brother Red and the others, my feeling wasn't wrong!"
Toko excitedly waved at Lin Jiu and the others, then proudly said to Tanjiro and the others beside her.
"Brother Giyu, Sister Shinobu, Brother Red..."
Tanjiro's eyes were filled with tears of joy.
"Everyone... I, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, on behalf of the Ubuyashiki family, express our most sincere gratitude to all of you who have risked your lives and devoted yourselves to fighting evil demons for the people!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his two daughters came out to welcome everyone. Unlike before, he no longer needed someone to support him.
"Oyakata-sama, there's no need for this!"
"Yes, it's the Ubuyashiki family who has sacrificed the most!"
"Oyakata-sama is so kind!"
"After Kibutsuji Muzan's death, the damage from the curse can be restored."
Lin Jiu looked at Kagaya Ubuyashiki's face, which had mostly recovered, though his eyes were still blind.
"Thanks to Miss Tamayo's help. Miss Tamayo and the others have also come, but they can't stand in the sunlight, so they couldn't come out," Kagaya Ubuyashiki said.
"Toko, train well with the Water Hashira in the future."
Lin Jiu patted Toko's head, and under her puzzled gaze, he passed through the crowd and walked towards a distant house. That was where the logistics items were exchanged. He didn't choose to return immediately, of course, because he couldn't waste these contribution points.
"Red..."
Everyone gazed at Lin Jiu's back, understanding in their hearts that he was about to leave. But no one asked questions like where he was going...
"Probably won't come back in the future."
Lin Jiu sighed in his heart. This derivative world was just one of the many timelines in the Demon Slayer world, and the Reincarnation Paradise could restart at any time.
"I want to exchange this, and then I want all the remaining Star Dust Ore!"
...
"Return!"
As Lin Jiu whispered, the surrounding space began to surge. He felt like he was hit on the back of his head with a stick, his vision went black, and this derivative world ended.
[Transfer complete, Hunter returns to the exclusive room,]
[Exclusive room is an safe point, no one can enter without the Hunter's permission]
[Hunter has returned to Reincarnation Paradise, begin settlement of derivative world rewards.]
Derivative World: Demon Slayer.
Difficulty: Lv.3 (Difficult).
World's Source obtained: 46%
Number of tasks completed: 5 (Main quest ×3, Side quest: Secret of the Shrine Maiden, Hidden quest: Savior.)
Overall rating: S- (Note: Rating ranges from E- to S+. Overall rating is calculated based on the total World's Origin obtained and the number of tasks completed.)
[Begin collecting World's Source...]
[World's Source collection complete, begin tallying rewards.]
[Rewards obtained: 18 attribute points (including 4 points obtained in the derivative world), 22,000 Park Coins.]
[Overall rating: S-, Hunter level +3, upgraded to Lv.5. (Level increases based on overall rating)]
[Hunter level has reached Lv.5, storage space increased to five cubic meters.]
[Settlement complete, rewards automatically deposited into Hunter's imprint.]
[Detected that Hunter has completed hunting task and obtained Bronze Honor Medal, Honor Shop opened.
Location: Inside Hunter's exclusive room, please explore its functions yourself.]
...
"I almost wiped out the main force of the opposing camp, and it's only an S- rating?"
Lin Jiu thought it was absurd, it must be because he and the nine Hashira together defeated Kibutsuji Muzan in the final battle that lowered the score. This time he fell short of soloing the Boss.
18 attribute points would allow Lin Jiu to significantly strengthen his main attributes. More importantly, the Reincarnation Disc had absorbed the soul power after Kibutsuji Muzan's death and was in the process of awakening.
[Reincarnation Disc]
Quality: Special
Bound to: Lin Jiu
Status: Awakening (estimated to take 23 hours)
=========
The awakening of the Reincarnation Disc would be key to perfecting his Class Template, and it would surely be another huge change.
Moreover, the task rewards in the derivative world were not the biggest gain, but tricking that contract violator was the huge gain. 150,000 Paradise Coins and [Universal Specialization Scroll] were all things that could make his strength skyrocket.
[Detected unstable vital signs in Hunter, remnant destructive cells present in the body, proceed with recovery and cleanup?]
Lin Jiu heard the prompt from the Reincarnation paradise and only then realized that the cellular toxins Kibutsuji Muzan had injected into his body hadn't been completely cleared by sunlight.
[Ding! Detected that Hunter has opened the Honor Shop, Reincarnation Paradise recommends Hunter to actively use the Honor Shop.]
Lin Jiu wasn't in a hurry to repair his injuries but instead came to a display screen that had just appeared in the room. The display screen was embedded in the wall, with lines of text floating on it. This was the Honor Shop.
[Welcome Hunter to the Honor Shop.]
[As this is Hunter's first time using the Honor Shop, please read the following regulations.]
[Items in the Honor Shop can only be exchanged for Honor Medals.]
[Items exchanged in the Honor Shop are locked items and cannot be traded with other contractors.]
[Hunters are forbidden to mention the existence of the Honor Shop to anyone, otherwise, they will be subject to mandatory execution by the Reincarnation Park.]
There are fewer items in the Honor Shop, and they are in limited supply.
All exchanges are non-refundable.
...and so on, there were many more regulations.
[As Hunter only holds the Bronze Honor Medal, the following exchanges can be made-]
[Soul Crystal (Small) ×1.]
Price: One Bronze Honor Medal.
...
[Honor Revival Potion.]
Effect: Restores 100% health upon use.
Price: One Bronze Honor Medal.
...
[Cellular Level Repair Function (One-time use)]
