Late at night.

Tokyo High School of Curses.

A warm yellow light shone from an old school building.

This place was originally a warehouse used to store miscellaneous items. It was in a remote and gloomy location, and even stray cats usually wouldn't bother to visit it.

But Gojo Satoru kept his word. Since he had given Lynn the title of "High School Logistics Advisor," he could do whatever he wanted with this unwanted piece of land.

This was exactly what Lynn wanted.

Remoteness means seclusion, and seclusion means it's convenient to do some shady business.

"call……"

Lynn locked the heavy wooden door, hung up the "Temporarily Closed" sign, and slumped down on the red velvet sofa he had bought from the flea market, looking like a lump of mud.

tired.

This kind of exhaustion is not physical, but rather an extreme mental drain.

To chat and laugh in front of Ryoumen Sukuna, and to bargain under the pressure of Gojo Satoru, is like tap dancing on two nuclear launch buttons. One wrong step and you're shattered to pieces.

"but……"

Lynn raised her hand, took off her gold-rimmed glasses, and rubbed her throbbing temples.

"It was all worth it."

He snapped his fingers.

The air vibrated slightly, and the pale blue system interface, visible only to him, emerged in the darkness.

Current balance: 50,024 points.

Looking at that string of numbers, a nouveau riche smile finally appeared on Lynn's pale face.

In this high-risk world called "Jujutsu Kaisen," this is the capital that allows him to stand tall and be a person of integrity.

"It's time to spend some money."

Lynn sat up straight, rubbed his hands together, and glanced at the rows of merchandise.

He knew very well that what he needed most right now was to improve his physical condition.

Despite possessing incredible rule-based abilities that allow him to force transactions, his true form is merely a slightly healthier modern office worker.

Let alone a top-tier cursed spirit, even a level-four cursed spirit could bite his neck off in one bite if it attacked him.

If he encountered a cursed spirit of the level of Louhu or Huayu, the heat waves and pressure they released alone could rupture Lynn's internal organs.

"Heaven and Curse (Complete Version)... Price: 50 points"

"Six-Eyed Bloodline... Price: 40 points."

"Superior-grade mage physique... Price: 30 points"

Lynn's lips twitched.

There are so many good things, but they're also really expensive.

"I can't achieve instant success right now."

"You don't need to be able to withstand Sukuna's attacks head-on, but at least... you need to be able to survive two punches in Yu Baolaiwu's special-grade combat mode."

After careful consideration and filtering, his finger landed on an option with extremely high cost-effectiveness.

Product Name: Sorcerer Basic Constitution Enhancement (Level 2)

[Type: Physical Modification]

[Description: Through the cleansing of magical power, the physical strength of an ordinary person is elevated to the standard of a "Level Two Spellcaster." Cardiopulmonary function, muscle density, and nerve reaction speed are enhanced.]

Price: 1,000 points.

[Note: Although he can't tear apart cursed spirits with his bare hands, he's at least a superhuman.]

"A second-level sorcerer's body is sufficient."

Lynn pondered. In this world, a level two mage was already an elite who could carry out missions alone, run a marathon without breaking a sweat, and wouldn't die instantly even if punched.

"Buy!"

[Ding! Transaction confirmed. 100,000 points deducted.]

[Renovation begins...]

The excruciating pain surged like a tidal wave.

"Ugh!!"

Lynn gripped the sofa armrest tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. This wasn't a modification; it was as if all the bones in his body had been shattered and reassembled, and every muscle fiber torn and reconnected.

Ten minutes later.

The inhuman torture gradually subsided. Lynn was soaked to the bone, like a fish just pulled ashore.

But he could feel that his body had changed.

The heaviness from sitting in an office all year round disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of lightness and fullness.

He clenched his fist, his knuckles making a crisp cracking sound, and the feeling of power made him feel as if he could punch right through a wall.

"Now that we have the means to save our lives, next up is... the technique."

Lynn put her glasses back on and looked at the balance.

[Balance: 15,070 points.]

His current attack methods rely entirely on spending money to buy one-time items or using "rules" to forcefully suppress opponents, which is too expensive and lacks conventional means of output.

Lynn's eyes quickly scanned the [Spells] section.

Suddenly, his gaze settled on a familiar spell.

Product Name: Ten-Stroke Incantation (Improved Version)

[Type: Innate Technique]

【Effect: 1. Forced Weakness: Divides the target's length into ten equal parts, creating a weak point at the 7:3 ratio. Hitting this point forces a critical hit.】

2. Soul Shockwave (New): When a weak point is successfully hit, the resulting shockwave will ignore physical defenses and be transmitted directly to the target's soul, causing temporary soul dizziness or structural damage.

Price: 1,000 points.

"Mr. Nanami's technique... and an enhanced version at that?"

Lynn's eyes lit up.

The original ten-stroke spell was already a divine skill for physical attacks, known as "even a blunt knife can cut through steel".

This improved version of the system even added the attribute of "soul attack"!

What does this mean?

This means that he has a natural means of restraining the real person who possesses "non-action transformation" and can only be killed by attacking the soul.

Moreover, soul tremors can also cause dizziness.

This is a nightmare for sorcerers who need to stay alert at all times to cast spells.

"Bought it!"

[Ding! Transaction confirmed. 100,000 points deducted.]

[Surgical intervention is underway...]

This time, there was no excruciating pain.

Only a cool current of air rushed into the brain, and then quickly spread to the limbs and bones.

A wealth of knowledge about geometry, segmentation, and the angle of attack was etched into Lynn's mind like an instinct.

The world has changed in his eyes.

He looked at the solid wood coffee table in front of him.

In my line of sight, black ruler lines appeared on the surface of the coffee table.

At that 7:3 dividing point, a bright red dot of light is flickering slightly.

That's the "deadline".

It is also a flaw in everything.

Lynn casually picked up a cheap plastic fountain pen from the table.

A flick of the wrist.

"Go!"

The pen blurred into a streak, striking the red dot with perfect precision.

"Buzz—!!"

next second.

"Click."

The sturdy solid wood coffee table broke cleanly and smoothly into two pieces from the point where it was hit.

The cut surface is as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been laser-cut.

At the moment of the break, Lynn clearly felt an invisible wave spread out from the tip of the pen, causing even the dust particles in the surrounding air to tremble.

"Is this... a soul shock?"

Lynn looked at the pen in his hand.

If a living person had been standing there just now, their body would probably be broken and their brain would be turned to mush.

"Perfect."

Lynn clipped the pen to his breast pocket with satisfaction.

With this move, he was no longer a cunning merchant who couldn't even kill a chicken, but an assassin who could break through his opponent's defenses both physically and mentally at any time.

[Balance: 15,070 points.]

In the blink of an eye, the huge sum of money was reduced to a mere fraction.

Lynn felt a pang of heartache, but he knew that this last bit of money absolutely could not be spared.

In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, there is a move that is the nightmare of all casters—Domain Deployment.

Once pulled into the domain, the opponent's attack is guaranteed to hit. If he encounters a freak like a True Person or a Water Clock who can create domains, even if Lynn has a strong physique and powerful magic, he is doomed.

There must be a means of countermeasure, that is, "that".

"Simplified Domain"

Lynn's Search.

Product Name: Simplified Domain (Auto-Trigger Version)

[Type: Passive Skill/Barrier Technique]

[Description: No hand seals or incantations required. When the system detects that the host is within an enemy's "domain," it automatically deploys a spherical barrier with a radius of 2 meters, neutralizing any guaranteed hit effects.]

Price: 1,000 points.

"You set this price on purpose, didn't you?"

Lynn stared at his bank account balance, gritting his teeth. They were trying to squeeze every last penny out of him.

But to survive, there was no other choice.

"purchase!"

[Ding! Transaction confirmed. 100,000 points deducted.]

Current balance: 70 points.

Once back to before liberation.

Looking at the pitiful balance, Lynn slumped back onto the sofa, utterly exhausted.

The nouveau riche's thrill vanished, replaced by a deep sense of crisis.

"I'm out of money."

"There isn't even enough money to activate a single 'creditor protection mechanism'."

Lynn stared at the ceiling, muttering to himself.

Now, although he has the body of a level two mage, a spell capable of striking the soul, and a simplified domain, his most core deterrent force—the rule system based on "points"—has temporarily gone out of control.

We must make money.

We must find new, high-quality customers as soon as possible.

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, someone knocked on the heavy wooden door of the old school building.

Lynn's eyes sharpened.

Who could it be so late?

Lynn sat up straight, straightened his slightly disheveled shirt, and put on his usual gentle and professional fake smile again.

Even though we're broke, we can't let our pride fall.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and the night wind blew in.

Standing at the door was a girl wearing a vocational high school uniform.

She had her hair tied in a high ponytail, wore glasses, and carried a long-handled naginata that was taller than her.

His eyes were stubborn, yet they revealed a long-suppressed longing.

Zenyuan Maki.

"I heard a new convenience store opened here?"

Maki walked into the room, her sharp eyes scanning the room before finally settling on Lynn with a scrutinizing look.

"That idiot Gojo said you can buy anything here."

Maki slammed the naginata heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.

Is it true?

Lynn looked at the girl in front of him and smiled.

He was just worried about not having enough money.

And here comes the big fat sheep... oh no, the high-quality big customer, delivered right to our doorstep?

"Of course it's true, Maki-kun."

Lynn stood up and made an elegant "please" gesture.

"Whatever you want."

"As long as you can afford that 'price'."

"In this Exchange No. 8..."

"There's no business that can't be done."
