Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 41 The System Shop is Now Open

[Congratulations, host! Your compatibility with Ryomen Sukuna has increased by 10%.]

[The current host has a 50% compatibility rate with Gojo Satoru/Ryoumen Sukuna, and the system shop has been unlocked for the host.]

Just after Su Wu agreed to let Ma Lou follow her, the system popped up a notification sound.

Let me see what the system store has.

Su Wu casually found a place to sit down, and Maro followed behind him with a limp, not uttering a sound or complaining of pain, his face always bearing an expression of admiration and respect.

The white-haired boy appeared to have a blank stare, but in reality, he was intently staring at a virtual screen that only he could see.

The system's open shop has many... magical items.

That's understandable, since it's a system designed to curse O back to the O world.

But in the Hunter world, can these cursed tools still perform their original functions?

And the price of these magical artifacts...

There is a very familiar weapon in my inventory.

[Prop name: Tianni Mou.

Effect: Forcefully cancels the activated spell.

Price: 10 billion jini.

Evaluation: Among the cursed tools, Gojo Satoru was the one whom Fushiguro Jinji used to take his first blood.

Is that your reason for selling it for 10 billion jin? Okay, I admit, it's quite worth it.

But would this thing be effective in the Hunter world?

[Host, rest assured, all products have been modified to be suitable for any world.]

It's well said, and the effects are very appealing, but the price is simply prohibitive.

Su Wu only has 50 million in his pocket right now, which isn't enough to buy anything.

"System, do you have Gojo Satoru's sunglasses?" Su Wu asked inwardly.

This item is exclusive to the owner of the Six-Eyed Swordsman, with a very limited target audience, and is currently out of stock in the store.

So if there are too few people who need it, you won't make much money, so you simply won't sell it, right? You unscrupulous merchant.

"Actually, sunglasses aren't a necessity, I quite like this feeling..." Su Wu muttered to herself.

Although at first, when the burden was too heavy, the pain felt like an electric drill was drilling into his brain, and when he had a nosebleed, he would hear a buzzing in his ears.

But after experiencing it many times and getting used to it, these things didn't have much of an impact. Having a headache and nosebleeds didn't affect his ability to fight, and it even felt quite unique.

If that feeling disappears, it gets a little boring.

Many times, Su Wu felt that she had masochistic tendencies, and this was definitely not self-comfort, absolutely not.

"What kind of feeling do adults like?" A blonde girl suddenly peeked out and asked with an inexplicably excited tone.

"...The feeling of defeating a very strong opponent." Su Wu gave her answer decisively in less than two seconds.

"I see..." Maro's eyes widened at first, then he said with admiration, "As expected of you, Master."

Could this guy be my die-hard fan? One of those extreme fanatics? Someone who thinks everything I say is right?

Su Wu squinted at the other person, then looked away after a moment.

Well, it doesn't really matter what the other person thinks.

The thoughts of the weak are irrelevant because they have no impact.

Su Wu's attention returned to the system shop, and she stared at one of the items without moving.

[Prop name: Choubao

Effect: Can store items.

Price: One billion jini.

Review: A little organizing pro who can call for her mother.

Although this thing is indeed a bit ugly, it can store things and only costs one billion, so it's worth buying.

He always carries a backpack, which has very little space inside, and he has to restock every few hours or days, which is very troublesome.

With Ugly Baby, you wouldn't have to worry about supplies even if you lived in the wilderness for a month or a year.

Tian Ni Mou can also be arranged.

So now the only question is—

"How can I earn 11 billion jin?" he asked thoughtfully.

Robbery? Wouldn't that be a bad idea? Should we investigate which gang is the richest before we make a move?

Doing business? Doing business requires investment first; it's not a quick way to make money.

After all, as the old saying goes, "murder and arson bring wealth," and most ways to make quick money are not very legal.

Even in the Hunter world, robbery and murder are illegal; otherwise, why would there be so-called wanted criminals?

If he did that, he would be on the wanted list... Although thinking about it that way seems kind of interesting?

However, hunters will keep coming to him in order to get his bounty. The more he kills, the higher the bounty will be. In the end, he might even attract the Hunter Association's purge.

That would make him the villain of this world.

Forget it, let's try a different way to make money.

"Sir..." A hand handed over a glass of juice. The glass was made of dark green leaves, and the juice was freshly squeezed apple juice.

"Do you need money?" Maro asked with concern.

"Ah." Su Wu took the juice and responded perfunctorily.

"Please use this." Maro handed over a card with both hands.

"When I left home, I took some things with me, sold them, and exchanged them for a nun."

"But I don't have any expenses. I only brought these things because I felt unbalanced." He lowered his head, his voice calm.

"How much is inside?" Su Wu took the card without ceremony.

"About two hundred million jenny, which is far from the number you wanted, because I didn't have much to take with me at the time." Maro's voice sounded somewhat remorseful.

When he left home, he took all the small items from his father's study. He couldn't carry anything bigger, and he couldn't leave openly with them.

"Wow...you're quite rich." Su Wu stuffed the card into her backpack, silently announcing that the card had changed owners.

"Should I call you young master?" the white-haired, blue-eyed boy asked, seemingly mockingly.

The blond figure kept his head down, poking at the fire in front of him, constantly watching the temperature of the roasting meat.

The flames crackled, and he spoke softly at that moment:

"My full name is Maro Perisha. My father, Kasim Perisha, is one of the de facto rulers of Yokesin. The value of the items I brought out was negligible in his eyes."

"But I am just an insignificant illegitimate child. My mother was a child prostitute who grew up in the red-light district, and my father has more than thirty biological children."

"I was questioned about my bloodline, that I was a bastard born to a promiscuous mother and other customers, and that I was labeled as of low birth."

"My other siblings looked down on me and took pleasure in bullying me. They would often compete to see who could come up with a new trick to make me cry out for help faster."

After listening to the other person's story, Su Wu's expression remained unchanged.

It's too common, there's nothing new about it.

He was neither wiped out of his family nor orphaned, nor was he plagued by terminal illness.

After watching various anime, playing many games, and seeing numerous beautiful, powerful, and tragic NPCs and characters, Maro's background simply couldn't stir any emotion in him.

The blond boy continued speaking, his tone calm, even obscuring many details. He offered no explanation of his feelings at the time or now, speaking only in the tone of an observer:

"I was once locked in a dog cage and was about to faint from hunger when I met a man. He didn't rescue me from the cage, but he cooked me a delicious meal."

"As he was leaving, he told me that he was a gourmet hunter and that cages were for keeping pets. He hoped that the next time he saw me, I wouldn't be in a cage."

"I also want to become a gourmet hunter."

"Ah, it's ready, please enjoy." He picked up the grilled meat and handed it to Su Wu with a bright smile.

"Your cooking skills are definitely good enough to be a food hunter," Su Wu commented while eating the grilled meat, as if she hadn't heard the other person's previous self-praise.
