The moment he heard the system notification, Peter couldn't help but daze for a moment.
Unknowingly, another month had actually passed?
At this thought, Peter felt a bit of nostalgic sentiment.
However, after the sentiment, a stronger surge of excitement flooded his heart.
After all, every refresh of the mall was a genuine opportunity for him to increase his strength!
Thinking of this, Peter glanced at Gwen, who was already showing signs of sleepiness beside him, and whispered in her ear:
"Gwen, I'll head back first, so George doesn't notice anything suspicious tomorrow!"
Gwen let out a soft mumble, which served as a silent agreement to Peter's departure.
Peter then opened the window and quietly left Gwen's house. Upon returning to his own room, he impatiently opened the system panel.
As soon as the system panel opened, the substantial balance of sacrifice points made Peter unable to resist whistling.
[Current sacrifice points: 28,000!]
Wuhu! I've never fought such a wealthy battle in my life!
Without any hesitation, Peter immediately switched to the product interface.
Eight items were quickly presented before Peter's eyes.
[Item 1: High-Grade Storage Ring]
[Source: Douqi Continent]
[Effect: A magical ring crafted from the unique 'Spatial Stone' of the Douqi Continent. It contains over 10 cubic meters of folded space, allowing any non-living items to be stored and retrieved at will.]
[Note: This item is soul-bound to the host and cannot be opened by others.]
[Price: 1,000 sacrifice points]
"Oh ho!"
Peter's eyes instantly lit up.
This really was a pillow for the drowsy.
He was just worrying about how he couldn't carry all his belongings with him at all times!
Take the vibranium tang saber he obtained not long ago, for example!
Thinking he was only going to see Otto Parker and having no intention of killing the guy, Peter hadn't brought it with him.
He hadn't expected to run into Thor during the battle.
Although he held the advantage throughout the entire fight...
If he had this blade in hand, he wouldn't have had to act so cautiously against the indestructible Meow-Meow Hammer before obtaining the Aesir physique!
"Bought!"
Peter immediately made a willful instant purchase.
At the same time his balance was deducted, Peter felt a coolness in his palm, and a plain-looking black ring appeared in his hand.
The ring was entirely pitch black, with a dark red gemstone embedded in the center, looking quite unremarkable.
But Peter, through his magic talent enhanced by the Vanir bloodline, could feel a unique spatial power contained within it.
Without a second thought, he put on the storage ring, then grabbed the vibranium tang saber hanging by his bedside, and silently thought "Store" in his mind.
The storage ring on his hand flashed with a faint light.
The vibranium tang saber vanished mysteriously.
In the next second, with a thought from Peter, the Tang Dao landed steadily back in his hand.
"Interesting~"
After storing and retrieving it several times, Peter became fundamentally familiar with the storage ring's operation and couldn't help but praise it aloud.
With this thing, it would be much more convenient to carry equipment when going out in the future.
Additionally, he could now make full use of the loot when he wanted to strip enemies after killing them.
Previously, because the system would enter a cooldown after sacrificing one item from the same character, Peter could only take away one item at most after each kill.
But now, with the storage ring, he could achieve maximum efficiency in looting!
Aside from corpses, anything of value could be tucked away in the storage ring.
Bringing them out to sacrifice once every six months might be a bit troublesome, and the rewards surely wouldn't be as rich as the first time, but it was sustainable development!
Thinking about how the storage ring could allow him to better utilize others' sacrificed items besides just storage, Peter's mood improved significantly.
His gaze then turned to the second item of the month.
[Item 2: Zoan Devil Fruit · Mythical Zoan · Okuchi no Makami Model]
[Source: Pirate King]
[Effect: After consumption, the user can transform into the mythical beast Okuchi no Makami and gain control over frost. Developing the fruit to the Awakening stage grants terrifying physical speed and recovery, but the user will be rejected by the sea and become a 'dry hammer'.]
[Price: 5,000 sacrifice points]
"Tsk~"
The moment he saw the second item, Peter couldn't help but click his tongue in a bit of annoyance.
"Okuchi no Makami... isn't this the fruit of Kaido's daughter, Yamato?"
Although the character Yamato wasn't very likable in the manga because of her association with that piece of trash Kozuki Oden...
Her strength was a genuine Yonko Commander level.
Moreover, the fruit's innate ability to control frost was quite practical.
If this thing had appeared when he first got the system, he might have seriously considered taking it.
But now...
Looking at the witch rider driver on his waist, and then at the little broken watch on his wrist.
Peter couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
A single transformation plus a single elemental mastery.
Both abilities were perfectly covered by the little broken watch and the Driver...
It was a good item, but for his current self, it was already a bit of a white elephant.
Peter shook his head and decided to skip it.
He then turned to the third item.
[Item 3: Jedi Meteor Hammer]
[Source: Lolo's Adventure]
[Price: 3,000 sacrifice points]
When he saw this item, Peter's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Holy crap, Impact!"
If he remembered correctly, this was the ultimate move of that off-road vehicle, Impact.
While the name sounded quite intimidating, the effect... was just so-so.
And Peter wasn't planning on getting himself another hammer to use this skill.
"If it were something like the Thunder Crescent Slash, I might consider it, but this thing... forget it!"
Next was the fourth item.
[Item 4: lightsaber]
[Source: Star Wars]
[Effect: An energy weapon powered by Kyber crystals, capable of cutting through most substances and reflecting some energy attacks.]
[Price: 3,000 sacrifice points]
"A lightsaber, huh..."
Peter couldn't help but sigh.
This was another classic case of 'the right item at the wrong time'.
If he didn't have the vibranium tang saber, Peter would definitely have chosen to get this weapon.
Cosplaying as a Jedi Knight and swinging a neon tube—this was definitely a scene that countless chuunibyou teenagers had fantasized about more than once.
But now...
He already had the vibranium tang saber in his hand.
The coolness factor was about the same, it could cut through more things than a lightsaber, and as a physical weapon, it could even be coated with Armament Haki.
It could be said that it outperformed the lightsaber in every aspect.
Although being cool is a lifelong pursuit, Peter hesitated for a moment and still chose to give up on this item.
"Next, the fifth item. Please let it be something useful, I'm begging you!"
Along with Peter's muttering, the fifth item appeared before his eyes, successfully capturing all of his attention!
[Item 5: Choice of Three Talismans]
[Source: jackie chan adventures]
[Effect: After use, the user can select three from the twelve talismans, and then draw one of them to gain absolute control over that Talisman.]
[Price: 20,000 sacrifice points]
This move! It's a different recipe, but a familiar taste!
