Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: A Master of Face-Changing

I've finally been waiting for you!

The moment he heard the system notification, Peter's eyes lit up immediately.

He could hardly wait to sink his consciousness into the system space.

In the store interface, eight brand-new items were lying there quietly.

The top right corner of the system displayed Peter's current sacrifice points balance: 8,200 points!

Let's go, let's go!

[Item 1: cold jade bed]

[Origin: Jin Yong's Wuxia World]

[Effect: A bed made of Cold Jade from the extreme north, highly beneficial for cultivating internal energy. Cultivating internal energy while sleeping on the cold jade bed grants a ten-fold efficiency bonus. Additionally, practicing on the cold jade bed prevents Qi Deviation.]

[Price: 500 sacrifice points]

Tsk~

The moment he saw this first item, Peter couldn't help but click his tongue.

It's a good item, but the problem is... I don't have internal energy!

Although Chakra is somewhat similar to internal energy, it's a product of physical and spiritual energy; it can only be extracted and used on the spot, and cannot be stored in the dantian like internal energy.

In the Naruto World, it seems only Tsunade, with her Strength of a Hundred Seal, managed to successfully store excess Chakra.

Besides, with the horse talisman, I don't need to worry about so-called Qi Deviation anyway... it's useless!

Thinking this, Peter shook his head and turned to look at the other items.

[Item 2: Byakugan]

[Origin: Naruto World]

[Effect: Eyes possessing X-ray vision and a 360° field of view. Visual range increases with the user's strength. Additionally, possessing the Byakugan allows the release of Chakra from any acupoint in the body.]

[Price: 500 sacrifice points]

This one is actually pretty good!

It's equivalent to having built-in thermal imaging + super vision!

Plus, with the Byakugan, I can figure out techniques like Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm and Rotation.

It counts as an indirect way to increase my ranged attack and defense methods.

This time, Peter didn't hesitate and chose to purchase it directly.

The next second, he felt a cooling sensation in both eyes.

Looking in the mirror, good, the Byakugan produced by the system didn't make him look like he had cataracts.

Even when using the Byakugan, no veins would bulge around his eyes.

He activated the Byakugan to test it out.

Peter felt as if he had gained an option similar to adjusting 'transparency.'

As long as he wished, the walls of his bedroom could instantly become transparent, allowing him to easily see the World outside.

Peter tried to let his vision penetrate layers of obstacles, intending to see the maximum observation distance of his Byakugan at its current stage.

And then... he saw Gwen taking a bath in the tub.

Gwen's house was only about three hundred meters away from Peter's in a straight line, so when Peter's vision passed through the walls, he noticed Gwen at a glance.

The effect was as if Gwen was right in front of him... Peter instinctively wanted to look away, feeling his behavior was a bit sinful.

But on second thought... she'll be my wife sooner or later, what's wrong with taking a couple of looks!

Besides, didn't Gwen also... last time? Now we're even!

While Peter was thinking this, Gwen in the bathroom suddenly sensed something. She jerked, instinctively curling her body into a ball and looking around warily.

Crap, I forgot Gwen has Spider-Sense... Peter hurriedly retracted his gaze. After calming his inner agitation, he began to seriously test his vision limits.

As Peter pushed the Byakugan's field of vision to the maximum, he found his vision easily covered several surrounding blocks, with a range of about two kilometers in radius.

It's worth mentioning that while using X-ray vision, he also saw Agent Hill from S.H.I.E.L.D., who was currently instructing two people nearby.

It looked like she planned to have them responsible for the safety of Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

This made Peter nod in satisfaction; at least Nick Fury was being sensible.

After confirming the Byakugan's effect was definitely worth the price, Peter exited Byakugan mode and continued looking at the subsequent items.

[Item 3: SpongeBob SquarePants' Spatula]

... [Item 4: Conan's Stun Gun Wristwatch]

... [Item 5: emerald dragon scale]

[Origin: The Adventures of Little Carp]

[Effect: The emerald dragon scale of Xiao Mei the Jellyfish. Insetting the dragon scale on one's head and singing loudly can confuse enemies and cause the sea to produce giant waves and whirlpools.]

[Price: 800 sacrifice points]

[Item 6: Clow Card - The Sweet]

[Origin: Cardcaptor Sakura]

[Effect: After use, it can make all food taste sweet.]

[Price: 500 sacrifice points]

Peter:???

Are you freaking kidding me?

Looking at these items, Peter's face was almost as dark as Nick Fury's.

That spatula and stun gun wristwatch felt like they were purely spawned for laughs.

And that Sakura Card... The Sweet? To even put out an item like this, you really are a genius!

If it had been something like The Sword, The Windy, or The Snowy, he might have considered it.

As for this Sweet card that makes food sweet, Peter really couldn't think of any use for it.

In comparison, the effect of that emerald dragon scale was actually quite powerful, roughly equivalent to the Marvel 'Aquaman' Namor's artifact trident.

But the problem was, the way to use this thing was too abstract!

Peter didn't want to be commented on by other superheroes in the future as:

Oh, Peter? He's just a showgirl!

Just as Peter was complaining in his heart about what kind of trash items were in this batch, the appearance of the last two items made him perform a 'face-change' again:

[Item 7: Six Powers of the Navy]

[Origin: One Piece]

[Effect: Purchasing this item will grant immediate mastery of the Six Powers of the Navy and its extended techniques. Long-term use can lead to the preliminary awakening of Observation Haki and Armament Haki.]

[Price: 3,000 sacrifice points]

[Item 8: Stand - wheel of destiny (Enhanced Edition)]

[Origin: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3]

[Effect: Possesses a vehicle and significantly enhances its appearance and performance. Makes the vehicle no longer consume fuel and self-repair. It can even allow the vehicle to enter a combat stance. The Stand's effect will evolve as the user's strength grows!]

[Note: Stand-type items are not unique; the host can obtain multiple Stands by purchasing items.]

[Price: 4,000 sacrifice points]

Insta-buy!

Without any hesitation, Peter chose to buy these two items on the spot.

Although after purchasing these two items, he only had 700 sacrifice points left.

But he felt that these sacrifice points were very well spent.

Every move of the Six Powers of the Navy could be considered a minor trump card, and paired with his current super physique, it could achieve a one-plus-one-is-greater-than-two effect.

The setting that he could awaken the two types of Haki later on would save him a huge amount of future expenses.

And that enhanced version of the Stand, wheel of destiny, made him feel it was even more extraordinary.
