Demon Slayer: Can I add points to my Breathing Technique?

After all, the Far East is only so big.

The daily flight distance of the raven is limited, and each time it flies directly from headquarters to the team members' location.

By observing the movements of several jays and overlaying their activity ranges on a map, the area with the densest overlap and the most frequent incursions by the jays will become apparent.

Then, explore the largest mansions or properties in the area.

It is highly likely that this is the hiding place of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

It's quite strange that, in the game's setting, the demons haven't been able to find and kill the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps for thousands of years.

Either these cannibals, from their leaders to their underlings, are all brainless.

Or perhaps the Demon Slayer Corps is hiding some secret methods that have not yet been made public.

For example, they might use special methods to conceal the tracks of ravens, or set up misleading signals in the intelligence chain that only humans can recognize.

Of course, Xia Xi didn't go to the raven to complain about this.

After all, the other party is really just a crow, asking it to think about organizational structure and security vulnerabilities.

That's still too much to ask of it.

Accompanying Raven was a member of the Hidden Division.

That's right.

In Xia Xi's eyes, these were members of the Hidden Forces who were already associated with [logistics], [support], and [inefficient mouthpieces].

As expected, they were here to deliver something to Xia Xi again.

However, this time, what was delivered was payment for being a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman.

After all, in the game, Xia Xi and the other swordsmen all have living expenses.

100 yen.

It was much more than Xia Xi had expected.

This is just the lowest-ranking swordsman's base salary each month.

Killing ghosts will also earn you extra rewards.

Don't underestimate this 100 yen, especially in an era where the average annual salary is less than 500 yen.

This amount of money is almost half a year's income for a working-class person.

That's enough for Xia Xi to buy forty or fifty old hens, or take her friends to see over a hundred movies.

When I was training with Kazami Kōki, he would occasionally go down the mountain to buy a lot of daily necessities, and it would only cost him 2-3 yen.

In reality, most people don't use yen in their daily lives.

Instead, they were smaller denominations of money and cash.

……

The monthly salary of a Rank 3 swordsman is actually 100 yen.

Those Grade A, Grade B, and even higher [pillars]...

Wouldn't one month's salary be enough for them to buy property in a prime area of ​​Tokyo?!

Just how wealthy is the Ubuyashiki family, who can support the entire Demon Slayer Corps with their own resources?

This is simply... a wicked chaebol!

Even though it was just a game, Xia Xi still shed tears of envy.

In the game, he is a powerful Demon Slayer Corps swordsman who dominates the battlefield and is a highly respected figure among players.

Outside of the game, he was just an ordinary person struggling in a big city, unable to even afford a place to stay.

He still has a deep attachment to "home".

My emotions upon seeing Xia Xi were quite complex.

The hidden member thought the other party was simply bewildered because they had never seen such a large sum of money before.

He then explained to him, "Lord Jiuche, these are all tokens of our lord's consideration for the swordsmen. Therefore, please do not refuse them."

Xia Xi: ? ? ?

No, why should I refuse the task reward?

It's not like pushing and shoving your elders for red envelopes during Chinese New Year.

"If you find it inconvenient to carry a large amount of money with you, we can also deposit it into a partner bank on your behalf."

“The central bank, or the newly established Mitsui and Sumitomo banks, are all acceptable.”

"At that time, you will be able to withdraw funds at any branch counter by presenting your receipt."

Xia Xi: ...

Why is it that even in the game, you can't escape the process of depositing and withdrawing money?

So Xia Xi subconsciously switched to pragmatic mode.

"The base salary is 100 yen, so what's the reward for killing demons?"

"Payment per item? What price range? Will the commission rate increase after advancing to a higher swordsman rank?"

The hidden member was somewhat bewildered by Xia Xi's series of questions, after all, it was the first time he had been asked such questions.

Because whether it's the [Swordsman] fighting on the front lines or the [Hidden] responsible for intelligence gathering and enemy reconnaissance.

Alternatively, there might be the [Butterfly House] responsible for medical care, the [Swordsmith] for forging equipment, or the [Trainer] for nurturing new swordsmen.

Most of them don't care much about money.

If it's there, that's fine.

More would be better.

It's not much, so it doesn't matter.

After all, the vast majority of people who join the Demon Slayer Corps have a blood feud with demons.

The Demon Slayer Corps provided them with an opportunity and platform for revenge.

A leader who provides free training in combat skills, teaches ancient martial arts techniques, offers high-end protective gear, customizes rare samurai swords, provides intelligence and information about demons, and is willing to risk his life for his subordinates.

Whether you have a lot of money or a little, it's not that important.

If the Demon Slayer Corps ever runs out of money, many swordsmen will likely contribute their own money to help the Ubuyashiki family through the crisis.

Moreover, in this era, the "compassionate allowance" given by the Demon Slayer Corps is already quite generous.

"Settlement? Commission?"

The hidden member barely understood Xia Xi's words before explaining them to him.

The Demon Slayer Corps naturally encourages swordsmen to slay demons.

Therefore, after the mission is completed, the swordsman will be given a considerable reward.

However, the reward will not change based on the swordsman's level. Whether it is the lowest level [Gui] or the highest level [Zhu], the monetary reward for slaying the same evil spirit is the same.

Of course, the monthly allowance for a [Pillar]... which is what Xia Xi called the base salary, is naturally much higher than that of an ordinary swordsman.

The key factors for receiving rewards for slaying demons are the strength of the demon and the degree of contribution made in the demon-slaying operation.

There are specific personnel within the Hidden Ones who assess the ghosts.

The stronger the player, the higher the reward.

Like the demon that Xia Xi had previously defeated.

Because it lacks Blood Demon Arts and seems quite weak, the reward itself isn't much.

However, because Xia Xi killed the enemy on his own, he was able to claim all the credit.

It's estimated that it would cost around 2000 coins, or about 20 yen, which is enough to buy about ten grams of gold.

And like a group of demons, the highest level is the Twelve Demon Moons.

If he were to kill it alone.

Not only can it promote one to the highest level of [Pillar].

They could also acquire enough money to squander for a lifetime in big cities like Osaka and Kyoto.

Yin hadn't finished speaking.

Then I saw Xia Xi's eyes light up.

Since I'm going to stay in this game for so many years, it's not impossible for me to buy a big house in Tokyo and live there, right?

This game is so realistic.

After completing the main storyline, you could totally go on a super luxurious trip, right?

Drive the best car, eat the best food, and drink the best wine.

Even if the map of the Far East is not yet fully developed, you can still spend ten or fifteen days in the Far East visiting famous tourist spots like Hokkaido, Osaka, and Okinawa...

It was really fun, wasn't it?

"That Lord Jiu Che?" Yin called out softly, noticing Xia Xi's distracted expression.

Xia Xi: "Where are the Twelve Ghost Moons? We must rid ourselves of these evil spirits!"

hidden:?

This gentleman seems to have a strong obsession with money.

Chapter 27 Promotion to Three Ranks

Perhaps it was because Shashito's words to the Demon Slayer Corps were adopted.

Or perhaps it was simply good luck.
