RWWOKS Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Infinite Train, Complete!

“Finally over.”

In pain, Fang Bo sat down unwilling to get up.

Thankfully, Butterfly Shinobu was called; otherwise, everyone would have died here today.

“Several ribs are broken, internal bleeding is present, and there’s a minor muscle tear in my arm.” Checking his condition revealed only non-fatal injuries.

Once the Giant Summoning spell cooled down, absorbing Tutu’s life force would restore him completely—he didn’t need to worry about that.

Staring at the golden treasure chest, Fang Bo couldn’t help but smile.

The battle had been fraught with danger, and he had wasted a lot of potions, but in the end, he had achieved a hard-won victory.

Not to mention the unopened treasure chests, the rewards from the hidden quest were already substantial, not to mention he had also completed an achievement.

[Achievement: I Defeated Upper Moon (Completed)]

[You have obtained the title “Gold Medal Fighter”]

Gold Medal Fighter: Increases reputation accumulation for the Demon Slayer Corps, reduces the initial purchase price of items.

While the title’s effect isn’t as good as “Spider Hashira,” it’s quite suitable for buying supplies.

Once he left the Demon Slayer world, he could use it to upgrade other high-level titles in the future.

Spider Hashira was quite good, providing extra damage to demons and increasing the basic life value of summoned creatures, making it very suitable for Fang Bo.

“I wonder what the next world will be.” He fell into contemplation.

Fang Bo’s current strength was primarily focused on Shikigami, puppets, and firearms; ideally, he would prefer to enter a world with similar abilities.

With one skill slot left, he hadn’t decided which ability to learn.

His advantages were clear: abundant life force, exceptional endurance, proficiency in applying various abnormal states, and great crowd control, allowing him to whittle down enemies’ health gradually.

Of course, Fang Bo’s shortcomings were equally evident.

He lacked a decisive powerful skill, had no defensive capabilities, his ranged attacks weren’t sharp enough, and his speed was his greatest weakness.

As for compensating for these weaknesses, he could focus on equipment or try to learn a particular skill.

For instance, obtaining a summoned creature capable of ranged attacks and excellent agility?

If he could secure two followers to form a stable team, it might also solve his weaknesses.

“Let’s see what luck brings.” Fang Bo decided not to dwell on it further and prepared to claim the hidden quest rewards.

[Hidden Quest: Infinite Train (Completed)]

[Calculating results. Generating rewards.]

[Based on your contribution, choose any two rewards from the following options.]

[Option 1: Gain 1000 Plot Points]

[Option 2: Gain 6 Merit Points]

[Option 3: Gain Flame Sun Wheel Blade]

[Option 4: Gain Flame Breathing Technique (Rare)]

[Option 5: Gain 4 Attribute Points (Rare)]

“Only two options?” Fang Bo sighed.

To achieve the great feat of upgrading five attributes simultaneously, he must select Option 5.

Even if it weren’t a rare reward, he would choose it without hesitation.

As for the remaining one, he seemed to have no choice but to pick the highest value reward, the Flame Breathing Technique.

Flame Breathing Technique: D-rank passive skill that enhances strength, agility, and constitution based on breathing, speeding up life recovery (Note: effects of the same type of passive skills cannot stack).

No specific learning requirements meant Fang Bo could immediately learn the signature move of the Flame Hashira.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t a melee-oriented reincarnator, so its utility would be limited.

Even if he had to choose, a breathing technique that enhanced mental and perceptual attributes would suit him better.

Moreover, since the same type of passive effects couldn’t stack, he would need to learn a higher-level passive for greater attribute increases.

For example, Saint Seiya’s Small Universe Burst, King of Fighters’ Rage, or One Piece’s Haki.

The most notable feature of passive skills is that they require no mental energy consumption and can significantly boost one or more attributes for a short time.

After the enhancement ends, the user enters a temporary negative state, such as a fixed attribute reduction.

These attribute-enhancing passive abilities are better suited for desperate situations, while fixed damage reduction and damage increase effects are appropriate for regular combat.

Active skills are easier to acquire, while passive skills are hard to come by; otherwise, Fang Bo wouldn’t be in this dilemma.

“Maybe I know where it’s headed.”

Allocating all four attribute points to perception, Fang Bo’s attributes changed to:

Perception: 23 (+5)

With a base perception of 18, he was just 1 point away from reaching the extreme of a challenging world, meaning he could soon focus on increasing his constitution.

While he was allocating points, the two plot characters had already stood up, comforting the frightened ordinary passengers.

Seizing the opportunity, the three reincarnators gathered to prepare for an exciting treasure chest opening event.

“I’ll go first.” Fang Bo took out the Nightmare chest; he had thoroughly countered this guy and wondered if he would offer something interesting after death.

[You are opening a plot chest (Orange)]

[You gain 200 Plot Points]

[You gain Blood Demon Art Scroll]

[You gain Resilient Nightmare Tentacle]

The Blood Demon Art related to dreams can be released in various ways, such as through the Sharingan possessed by Darren.

“I’ll take that.” Darren raised his hand.

The Resilient Nightmare Tentacle, a material item, could serve as a key item in crafting memory armor.

This item naturally belonged to Fang Bo.

After a moment’s thought, the ninja gave up his choice of other items and instead traded 1000 Plot Points to the two.

As for the third rare material, Fang Bo paid Ali 400 Plot Points, and with the 100 from the chest distribution, he netted 200 points in addition to the item.

This item had a high markup; selling it outright wouldn’t yield much, but adding it in crafting would offset several times its payment price.

Ultimately, the first chest yielded Fang Bo 200 Plot Points and a Resilient Nightmare Tentacle, totaling over 1000 points in value.

“Next, it’s my turn.” The curse hand magician looked quite excited.

This was a strong opponent he had taken down alone, and he believed it would surely yield some surprises.

[You are opening a plot chest (Orange)]

[You gain 200 Plot Points]

[You gain Blood Demon Art Scroll]

[You gain Diluted Demon King Blood]

The explosive movement-type Blood Demon Art made Ali excited at first glance.

As for the vial of Demon King’s blood, it was, of course, Fang Bo’s.

It was a pity that the Spider Woman was severely injured; otherwise, after devouring Akaza, she would have greatly increased the progress of the fateful task.

To obtain the Blood Demon Art Scroll, Ali had to trade away the still-warm points, and they each gained 500 Plot Points.

Fang Bo traded 200 points to Darren, making his total 300 + 100 + Demon King Blood.

The third chest should be opened by Darren, who had also contributed significantly.

A golden chest; every time it opened, it brought excitement, especially as the ninja rubbed his palms together eagerly.

“Give me something good.”

[You are opening a plot chest (Gold)]

[You gain 500 Plot Points]

[You gain Qi Perception]

[You gain Blood Demon Art Scroll]

[You gain Blood Demon Art Scroll]

Qi Perception (Passive Skill): Sense the opponent’s aura, greatly enhancing evasion and attack accuracy.

This was very useful, especially for reincarnators with strong perception.

Especially for Fang Bo, who needed to engage in close combat while controlling puppets, accurately grasping enemy movements would make the attack process much more efficient.

So he decided to take this one.

As for the other two Blood Demon Arts, they were powerful and belonged to Akaza’s signature skills.

In terms of value, they might be slightly stronger than Qi Perception, but considering their rarity, everyone shouldn’t fuss too much about the markup.

The three items were distributed evenly; Darren voluntarily chose to take one less share of the extra Plot Points.

From Akaza’s golden chest, Fang Bo received 200 Plot Points and a Qi Perception Scroll.

In this round of treasure chest opening, Fang Bo gained a total of 800 Plot Points, along with the Resilient Nightmare Tentacle, Diluted Demon King Blood, and Qi Perception.

Plot Points: 3370

A simple hidden quest had directly restored his Plot Points from rock bottom.

So, Fang Bo realized that earning money was actually quite easy; of course, if he had the ability to complete hidden tasks alone, his gains would be even more astonishing.

Watching the spot where Akaza had disappeared, Fang Bo knew Muzan was about to hold a shareholders’ mobilization meeting.

As he thought, he suddenly realized there was a situation he seemed to have overlooked.

Akaza’s death could very likely trigger the Swordsmith Village event early; to weaken the Demon Slayer Corps, Muzan would surely dispatch Upper Moons to attack the swordsmiths.

If he went to the Entertainment District first and then to the Swordsmith Village, he might miss the hidden task and even lead to the deaths of the Mist Hashira and Love Hashira.

Despite how the original plot unfolded, with the awakened Tanjiro influencing the Mist Hashira to slay the Upper Moon, the presence of Tanjiro had been crucial.

The one who unlocked the mark would gradually affect those around him; without Tanjiro, whether the Mist Hashira could counterattack remained uncertain.

There were too many unpredictable factors in this; he couldn’t leave everything to fate.

Moreover, even if the Mist Pillar could fight to the death against the Jade Pot, the Love Pillar would undoubtedly be defeated in a one-on-one challenge against the Great Tengu.

Without external interference, the Knife Forging Village is destined for suffering, so Fang Bo may need to change the order of his mission completion.

‘I must seize the time.’

Even though they had been getting along quite well, he was now ready to act alone.

He already had a clear plan in mind; if executed properly, dealing with the threat in the Knife Forging Village didn’t seem too difficult on his own.

As for his two powerful teammates…
