In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

"Then I'll take bow-type weapons and skills, and I won't need armor for now."

"Yeah, our clearance rating this time is only S-... We really need to think about it carefully..."

Yuuki Asuna thought carefully and muttered to herself.

"I have a set of Flashing Light Armor, which is a set. I already have enough sword skills... Hmm... Then I'll choose to strengthen my physical fitness. My profession doesn't require too strong mental strength, so I just need to make sure my mental resistance can keep up."

After finishing speaking, Yuuki Asuna looked at Asagiri curiously.

"What about you? What reward will you choose this time?"

"Two skills."

Asagiri had already thought of the answer to this question and answered without hesitation.

"With a physical enhancement skill and an offensive skill, my current combat power isn't up to par with the dungeon's intensity. When facing the Blackwatch commander, his physical fitness was equal to or even slightly superior to mine, so most of the time I could only summon Human Shura. Once I used another personality mask, I couldn't keep up with the intensity of the battle."

"When my own combat power isn't enough to hold my own against the enemy, I can't fully utilize the diverse flexibility of my Persona. To avoid this, I need to improve my combat power and not rely too much on pure physical strength. While numerical superiority is great, mechanics are also essential."

Chapter 95:092 The First Red Epic Equipment

"Well, that makes sense."

Seeing that Iwanaga Kotoko agreed and nodded repeatedly, Yuuki Asuna said unhappily.

"Just forget it, you think everything Asagiri says makes sense."

"Shouldn't it be?"

Iwanaga Kotoko spoke righteously and with great momentum.

"As the boyfriend of the princess of the great monsters, of course he is always right!"

Asagiri asked curiously after hearing this.

"What if I disagree with you?"

Kotoko Iwanaga stood up and said with her hands on her hips.

"Hmph, then there's only one way, and that's to have a hearty fight. Whoever wins gets to do what's best for them!"

Yuuki Asuna frowned slightly, speaking doubtfully.

"Why do I feel like... the battle you're talking about isn't a proper battle?"

“No need to feel.”

Iwanaga Kotoko waved her hand and said confidently.

"It's definitely not a serious fight. What's the point of a serious fight?"

"You are really both naive and playful."

Asagiri teased first, then asked.

"What about you? What type of rewards do you want to customize?"

"Um..."

Kotoko Iwanaga raised her hand and stroked her fair chin. After thinking seriously for a while, she replied with a smile.

"I'll choose protective gear. The negative effects of my unique talent are gone now, so I can equip it. As the most vulnerable member of the team, I need to find a way to improve my defense. Only then can I avoid distracting you and assist you in battle."

After the four of them decided on the rewards they wanted to customize, Kato Megumi took out her mobile phone, opened the APP with the eye icon, and entered the type and amount of rewards she wanted.

[Confirmed that the reward type you selected is: Weapon (Ranged), Skill]

[Obtain: Bloodthirsty Nightingale Bow (bow type weapon, purple quality), Sniper]

[Bow of the Bloody Nightingale: This bow is pitch black and crafted from ebony. It possesses a strange magical power that can damage spirits. Each time it strikes a target, its power increases. When using this bow, there's no need to carry arrows; a quiver automatically replenishes.]

[Sniper (Passive Skill): Greatly improves accuracy and power when using ranged weapons]

"Purple weapons, not bad."

Asagiri sat next to Kato Megumi, took her phone, looked at the reward content displayed on it, and said with a smile.

"Each time it hits the same target, its power increases. If it's used against a boss with amazing defense, it should be very effective..."

When she was halfway through her speech, Asagiri raised her head and saw Kato Megumi holding her chin with both hands, staring at her with her calm eyes. Her lovely face was so close to her that they could even feel each other's breathing.

"You are indeed very handsome."

Hearing Kato Megumi's flat praise, Asagiri smiled and asked back.

"What, are you cosplaying as a mirror? Every day when I look in the mirror, it says the same thing as you."

"Hmm...this is called narcissism, right?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head, then stood up, patted her clothes, and spoke softly.

"You guys must be hungry, right? I'll go make dinner first."

"Well, I'll come too..."

"no, I'm fine."

Seeing that Yuuki Asuna also wanted to stand up, Kato Megumi waved her hand and said with a gentle smile.

"You're already exhausted in the dungeon, so just rest. I haven't used up much physical or mental energy, so I'll do it."

Seeing Kato Megumi walk into the kitchen, Yuuki Asuna's eyes flashed, and then she spoke.

"Then I'll do the second one. I'm going to help her after the lottery. I can't let her cook alone."

Kotoko Iwanaga raised her hand eagerly and said excitedly.

"I want to do it too~ Asagiri hasn't eaten the food I cooked yet~"

"can you cook?"

"Understood."

Hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's confident answer, Asagiri asked tentatively.

"Excuse me, what is the approximate level of your understanding?"

"Humph."

Kotoko Iwanaga crossed her arms over her chest, raised her fair chin, and spoke arrogantly.

"I know what a kitchen knife looks like!"

"What!?"

Asagiri said in shock with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"A kitchen knife!? That's a legendary artifact that only three-star Michelin chefs have a slim chance of ever seeing! You actually know what that thing looks like!? That's unbelievable!"

"Hehe, this is the breadth of knowledge and experience of my God of Wisdom!"

"As expected of the God of Wisdom! So wise!"

Seeing Asagiri and Iwanaga Kotoko singing in unison, with exaggerated movements and tones, Yuuki Asuna held her forehead and sighed.

"Can you two stop putting on a play here? Seriously, you two are just chuunibyou."

After complaining about this, Yuuki Asuna also picked up her mobile phone and entered the reward type she selected in the eye icon APP.

Confirmed reward selection

[Gain: Greatly enhanced physical fitness]

After receiving the clearance reward, Yuuki Asuna's physical fitness rating finally changed from [Excellent (average value is at the level of a professional athlete, speed, reflexes, and agility are close to the human limit)] to [Excellent (average value is close to the human limit, speed, reflexes, and agility are beyond the human limit)].

Although the values on the panel are displayed like this, during the battle, as long as Yuuki Asuna is in a high-speed moving state, she can gain various enhancements through the passive effect of "Flashing Blade", and can even be comparable to Asagiri in the state of Human Shura Blessing.

"Okay, I'm going to help Hui cook."

After Asuna Yuuki stood up and left, Kotoko Iwanaga also entered the customized reward content.

[Reward selection confirmed. Would you like to add the accessory item "Warlock's Ring" to the prize pool to improve the quality of the available equipment?]

"Oh? This is the first time I've seen this hint."

Kotoko Iwanaga first showed Asagiri the prompt that popped up in the APP, and then clicked the confirmation button.

The Warlock's Ring is a purple-quality accessory. Its effect is to consume the wearer's mental power to create a light green curse-attribute shield around the body. The shield will continue to consume the user's mental power while it lasts, and the shield's strength depends on the user's mental power.

When she obtained this equipment, Kotoko Iwanaga really needed it. After all, she had no means of defense at that time, but it is different now.

She now has the ability to create black particles to form a barrier. In addition to attacks against strange attributes, the black particles' defense against other attribute damage is stronger than the shield created by the Warlock Ring. And Iwanaga Kotoko, who possesses the exclusive talent "God of Wisdom of Monsters", is unlikely to be actively attacked by strange beings. What's more, with the presence of Yuuki Asuna, Asagiri, and Kato Megumi, it is even more impossible for her to be attacked by strange beings.

Therefore, the purple-quality warlock ring is no longer of much use to her now.

[Obtain: Shadow Clothes (Red Epic Quality)]

[Shadow Clothes: Armored equipment that can transform into any form the wearer desires. Wearing this equipment significantly increases resistance to curse damage and mental attacks. "Shadow" can be used once every 24 hours, placing the wearer in a "Shadow" state for up to one minute. While in "Shadow" state, the wearer is immune to all types of attacks and can move, but cannot use any skills or attack enemies. "Shadow" state can be ended prematurely.]

"Oh... red epic quality equipment..."

Iwanaga Kotoko muttered to herself first, then her violet eyes suddenly widened, her face showing shock.

"Red epic quality equipment!?"

Kotoko Iwanaga was so excited that she jumped up from the sofa, ran to Asagiri, held his cheeks with both hands, and kissed him hard. Then she ran towards the kitchen with her cell phone, shouting excitedly as she ran.

"Asuina, Megumi! I'm going red! I'm going red!"

Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko's excited look, Asagiri shook her head and reminded her with a smile.

"In ancient times, Fan Jin passed the imperial examination, and now Qin Zi becomes famous. Don't be so excited, or you will faint from joy later."

Then, Asagiri took out his mobile phone, clicked on the APP with the eye icon, and entered the reward content of his choice.

Confirmed reward type and quantity

[Obtain: Blood Burst, Holy Cross]

[Blood Burst: Burns the user's blood, significantly enhancing various bodily functions for five minutes.]

[Note: After the blood burst state ends, the user will fall into a weakened state with reduced physical functions. The specific recovery time is determined by the user's own recovery ability.]

[Holy Cross: Consumes mental energy to create a burning Holy Cross, dealing Holy and Fire damage to the enemy. Double the damage when used against strange enemies.]

"Body-strengthening skills and attack skills with divine attributes... Not bad, considering it's only S-rank after all, so that's about right..."

Just when Asagiri was halfway through his words, he saw a new message pop up on his phone.

[Because you led the annihilation of the enemy "Blackwatch" in this dungeon, you are now receiving a special reward. You can choose any active skill you already have to upgrade.]

"Upgrading skills..."

Asagiri murmured to himself first, then made the decision without hesitation.

Among the active skills he currently possessed, there were the offensive Frost Spear and Holy Cross, and the strengthening Blood Burst, but these skills were not that important. Having or not having these skills would at most only affect the means that could be used in battle. The one that could truly bring about key changes to the team's tactics was the strategic skill that had been with him the longest.

[The upgraded skill "Castling" has been confirmed]

Chapter 96: 093 Shuchiin's Daily Life

After confirming the upgrade, Chaowu saw that the font that originally introduced the "King and Rook Castling" effect in the eye icon APP was covered with a layer of sticky red mist. As the red mist dissipated, the font also began to change.

[King's Rook Castling (Skill): With the consent of a target, you can bind to that target (unlimited number of bindings). You can instantly swap positions with a bound target at any time. This skill does not cost anything to cast.]

[Skill Limitation: Maximum Effective Range: 50 meters]

The original effect of "King's Castling" is to consume a certain amount of mental energy to instantly exchange positions with the bound player, and the maximum effective range is only fifteen meters, and it is necessary to ensure that the target player being exchanged is within his field of vision.

After the upgrade, there is no more consumption of mental energy, and there is no longer the restriction of "must be within sight", and the maximum effective range has increased to an astonishing fifty meters.

Most importantly, the original skill description of "obtain the consent of a player" has now become "obtain the consent of a target."

"Is that so... Persona, Mita."

"Clang clang~The hat is back again~"

The energetic Hat Mita appeared in front of Asagiri, doing the habitual movement of shaking his upper body, with a sweet yet somewhat playful little devil smile on his cute face.

She stuck out her tongue at Asagiri, her eyes full of smiles.

"Mr. Player, are you asking me to help with the cooking? I'm not trying to brag, but cooking is easy for me~"

"I'm a little skeptical."

Asagiri looked at the blue gloves that Hat Mita was wearing, then glanced at the hat he was wearing, and said doubtfully.

"It's hard for me to imagine that you can actually cook when you're dressed like this."
