A pale blue energy bullet shot from Taige’s finger, directly blasting the approaching Titan’s head to pieces. The energy impact shattered not just its neck but its entire chest cavity.
The overly shocking scene left all the reincarnators wide-eyed.
“This looks familiar.” Memories flashed through Fang Bo’s mind like a movie, and soon, he identified the guide’s ability.
“Isn’t this Yusuke Urameshi’s Spirit Gun?”
Bang!
With the danger averted, Taige kicked the fat guy to the ground, pressed his flintlock gun to the guy’s forehead, and snarled, “You really want to die, don’t you?”
As a guide, every time Taige intervened, it cost him 100 plot points from his task reward. He was already annoyed with the fat guy, and now he wanted nothing more than to shoot him.
Fortunately, his sanity prevailed; otherwise, the price would have been too high.
If a guide actively attacked a newcomer, the mission would fail immediately, and the newcomer would be ejected from the Titan world within three seconds.
The subsequent penalties would be so severe that they’d break his heart.
As he mentioned upon entry, sufficient plot points could buy anything, so any waste had to be strictly avoided.
For example, his E-rank skill, Spirit Gun, though not high in rank, had cost him a fortune to upgrade to level 4.
Name: Spirit Gun
Level: 4
Rank: E
Effect: Condenses spiritual power at the fingertip, firing a bullet-like spirit attack.
Usage Condition: Minimum consumption of 4 spirit points
Learning Condition: Spirit 12, Constitution 8
Level 3 Effect: Greatly enhances the condensation speed of the Spirit Gun
Source: Yu Yu Hakusho
Skill Evaluation: A crude use of energy. You need to exert more effort to kill the enemy.
Learning an E-rank skill requires 50 plot points.
Upgrading to level 2 requires 100 plot points.
Level 3 costs 150 points, and level 4 costs 200 plot points.
As the lowest-tier skill in the space, upgrading it to level 4 required 500 plot points in total. Higher levels would undoubtedly be even more costly.
For high-rank skills, the upgrade cost multiplies with each level.
In short, having money makes you a big shot; without it, you have to scrape by.
As an experienced reincarnator with five plot worlds, Taige could earn a thousand points in a good mission. He’d barely scrape together 300-500 points in a bad one.
He wouldn’t have taken on the guide role if he weren’t so down on his luck.
“This life is nothing but frustration.”
Despite this, Taige still chose to save the fat guy because the team had two promising individuals. He couldn’t afford to lose such good recruits.
If accepted by the commander, based on the members’ performance, he might receive a substantial plot point reward.
Grabbing the fat guy by the collar, Taige ordered him to rejoin the others on the roof before disappearing to the other side.
As for the treasure chest on the ground, Fang Bo circled a few times, finally seizing the right moment to grab it.
You are opening a plot treasure chest (White)
You obtained five plot points
You obtained Titan neck meat.
Titan Neck Meat: E-rank ingredient, not very nutritious.
Hoping for a surprise, Fang Bo was disappointed by the mere 5 points reward.
This highlighted the value of plot points in space, showing the significant loss the cowards suffered in the first mission.
Learning from the fat guy’s example, the others became more cautious.
Using his superior perception, Fang Bo broke away from the leading group to hunt Titans in secluded areas.
Thanks to his excellent attributes, ambushes were almost impossible.
Roaming around, the number of Titans he killed grew, and with a pleasant notification sound, he completed his first achievement challenge.
Achievement Conditions Met: You have earned the title “Giant Slayer.”
Giant Slayer: Adds 5% extra damage to creatures over three meters tall.
Giant Slayer II Achievement Unlocked: Kill 0/10 large creatures (This achievement can be completed across worlds)
Equipping the title immediately increased Fang Bo’s damage output, though it didn’t significantly impact his current situation.
Fighting Titans either resulted in futile slashing or instant kills with precise strikes, leaving no room for bleeding out and damage over time.
“Unless my opponents are those three.”
A thought surfaced, making Fang Bo’s palms sweat.
The move was risky, but the rewards would be extraordinary if successful.
“Let’s take it one step at a time.”
Having completed the achievement task, Fang Bo decided to stop hunting Titans temporarily.
Given the current situation, the Trost District battle was climaxing. If he had guessed correctly, Eren Jaeger should have transformed by now.
Eren was likely out of control, needing Armin to wake him up. It might lead to unique gains if Fang Bo could get there in time.
Finding them would be easy; a 15-meter Titan couldn’t hide easily, especially with numerous soldiers providing cover.
Soon, Fang Bo’s vision caught sight of a black-haired, green-eyed Titan with elf-like pointed ears.
This was the protagonist of the Titan world, Eren Jaeger.
“Eren, Eren!” Armin continued trying to wake him but to no avail.
Fang Bo and the others joined the Titan world as graduates of the 104th Training Corps, albeit as unremarkable minor characters.
Fortunately, Armin recognized him and waved anxiously. “Jason, I can’t wake him.”
First-time entrants to the space received a system-gifted disguise function, which altered their appearance and gender and gave them a pseudonym.
Before crossing over, Fang Bo’s predecessor had chosen “Jason” as his alias, reminding him of a competent Mediterranean fighter.
Before Fang Bo could respond, the space’s prompt sounded again.
ID 14552 Triggered Side Mission: Awaken Eren
Mission Requirement: Hold out until Eren awakens
Hint: You can join the awakening efforts, but your words may not reach him.
“Be careful, a large number of Titans are heading this way.”
Hearing the distant shout, Armin grew more anxious.
Logically, Fang Bo should join the resistance, but he instead crouched by the Titan’s ear, whispering like a devil.
“Don’t get lost in the illusion, Eren.”
“Have you forgotten how your mother died?”
“Listen to her screams, so pitiful. Do you remember how she was devoured by a Titan?”
Armin wanted to stop him, even felt like hitting him, but seeing the Titan’s body tremble, he restrained his anger and stood silently aside.
Hint: Plot character Armin’s favorability towards you -10
Hint: Plot character Armin’s favorability towards you -10
Hint: Plot character Armin’s favorability towards you -10
Hint: Plot character Armin’s attitude towards you is now indifferent.
Fang Bo didn’t care about others’ attitudes. He focused on completing the task as simply as possible.
Trading Armin’s indifference for a roar that echoed through Trost District.
Roar!!!
Titan Eren stood up once again.
