Another month has flown by already?
At the thought, Peter's anticipation spiked immediately.
Making an excuse that he needed to rest, he leaned back into his seat and closed his eyes to fake a nap, silently calling out in his mind:
System, open the Shop!
Come on, let's see what top-tier goodies this refresh has in store.
The moment the semi-transparent interface manifested before his eyes, a heart-racing figure greeted his vision:
[Current Sacrifice Points: 510,642]
A staggering 510,000 Sacrifice Points!
Four hundred thousand of that came directly from sacrificing the Power Stone's casing and residual energy, while the rest trickled in from miscellaneous cosmic scrap—like Ego's egg-shaped scout ship.
He was finally swimming in wealth!
Marveling at his loaded balance, Peter directed his gaze toward the eight items displayed across the glowing interface.
[Item 1: Senbonzakura (Thousand Cherry Blossoms)]
Source:Bleach
Effect: The signature Zanpakuto of Byakuya Kuchiki. Upon purchase, the host automatically masters its Shikai form. The subsequent Bankai and advanced derivative techniques will unlock naturally as the host's overall spiritual and physical power increases.
Note: The Zanpakuto does not bind permanently to the host's soul. Future refreshes may still yield other Zanpakuto. The host is also free to bestow Senbonzakura upon others.
Price: 20,000 Sacrifice Points
Woohoo~! A classic grand opening!
Without a shred of hesitation, Peter bought the blade instantly.
To be fair, Peter wasn't particularly used to relying on handheld weapons in combat. Ever since he obtained that Vibranium Tang Dao, the number of times he actually drew it could be counted on one hand.
Yet Senbonzakura was entirely different.
For one, whether in Shikai or Bankai, it didn't function like a conventional physical blade; it operated far closer to flying daggers or floating spirit swords.
This trait meant it was effortless to control telepathically, allowing him to pulverize opponents with his fists without missing a beat.
And as for the other reason... well, that was an age-old rule:
Strength is temporary, but style is forever!
Who could possibly resist calling out "Scatter, Senbonzakura" and instantly becoming the ultimate dreamboat in every girl's eyes?
The subsequent Senbonzakura Kageyoshi and the majestic Shukei: Hakuteiken (End Scene: White Emperor Sword) were peak aesthetics.
For a godly flex weapon priced at a modest 20,000 points, who could say no?
Purchased!
[Item 2: Skill Scroll: "Three-Base Unified Qi" (Sanfen Guiyuan Qi)]
Source:The Storm Riders (Feng Yun)
Effect: The signature martial art of Lord Conqueror (Xiong Ba). Boasts terrifying destructive output while granting internal healing, the power to dissolve an opponent's internal energy, and the ability to forge an impenetrable protective aura.
Price: 8,000 Sacrifice Points
Tsk~
Another classic item: absolute god-tier in early-game or standard martial arts worlds, but almost pure dead weight for the current Peter.
Back when points were scarce, he wouldn't have spared this scroll a second glance. But right now, he suffered from the luxury problem of having more points than places to spend them.
After a brief pause, he bought it anyway.
He planned to gift the manual to Daisy. Combining the Three-Base Unified Qi with her innate Quake abilities would form a synergistic foundation, helping her master and refine her vibrations with internal energy flow.
Moving on to the third slot.
[Item 3: King Engine]
Source:One-Punch Man
Effect: The signature ability of S-Class Hero KING. King once used this terrifying technique to single-handedly intimidate and force a retreat from four Dragon-level monsters!
Price: 100,000 Sacrifice Points
Peter: "???"
HOW MUCH?!
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND?!
The moment his eyes scanned the description, Peter almost broke his sleeping posture and snapped out of his seat.
What kind of troll listing was this?!
And a price tag of a hundred grand—were they serious?!
If he hadn't been an anime veteran in his previous life, he might have genuinely mistaken this for an omnipotent, god-slaying aura.
In reality, calling this an "ability" was giving it far too much credit.
The so-called King Engine was literally just the sound of a terrified man's heart beating absurdly loud, giving off a menacing acoustic vibe out of pure coincidence!
To sell this for 100,000 points... Peter suspected the System specifically designed this trap to swindle rookies who hadn't read One-Punch Man.
"Whoever spends a hundred grand on this, I'll laugh at them for the rest of my life..."
Muttering internally, Peter skipped the item without looking back.
[Item 4: Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan (Sasuke Uchiha)]
Source:Naruto
Effect: Sasuke Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Grants profound visual perception along with three core dōjutsu: Amaterasu, Flame Control (Kagutsuchi), and Susanoo. Due to its Eternal nature, utilizing these techniques will never cause blindness or vision degradation.
Price: 30,000 Sacrifice Points
Tsk~!
Another item that left Peter deeply conflicted.
If these eyes belonged to Obito—even standard Mangekyo without the Eternal upgrade—Peter would have slammed the buy button in a heartbeat. After all, the noble Horse Talisman cleansed any and all physical strain or blindness anyway.
But Sasuke's Mangekyo... in terms of pure versatility, it ranked among the most situational of all Mangekyo pairs.
The "inextinguishable black flames" of Amaterasu sounded terrifying on paper, but across seven hundred episodes of anime, it literally killed zero major opponents.
Flame Control was just as redundant, offering nothing useful to a Peter who could already ignite Zhurong Mode at will.
The sole genuine selling point was the ability to deploy a giant Susanoo armor.
Yet even in the giant avatar department, he already had the Wood Golem technique on standby.
Was it truly worth blowing thirty thousand points just for the iconic "Susanoo-armored Wood Golem" flex?
After agonizing over it for a long moment, Peter bought it.
Partly to realize the legendary "Susanoo Clad Wooden Buddha" combo that the original manga never showcased.
And partly because he held out hope that the System Shop might refresh Hashirama Cells down the road. If he combined the two, he could directly evolve the Eternal Mangekyo into the Rinnegan!
Viewing it as a long-term investment for a future Rinnegan, thirty thousand points was an entirely reasonable price.
Swallowing the mild sting of parting with another chunk of points, Peter scrolled down.
[Item 5: Senzu Beans (50 count)]
Source:Dragon Ball
Effect: Mystical beans cultivated by Korin. Ingesting a single bean instantly restores a near-death individual to full health, vitality, and energy.
Price: 30,000 Sacrifice Points
Another item that held little personal utility for his own godlike durability, yet Peter purchased it without a second thought.
This was literal life-insurance in a pouch!
As his upcoming adversaries grew increasingly cosmic and eldritch, he was bound to run into situations where an enemy pinned him down, preventing him from instantly healing Gwen, Felicia, or the others in real time.
Leaving a jar of Senzu Beans with Gwen, Uncle Ben, and Aunt May for self-defense was infinitely more reliable than any theoretical talisman.
This thirty thousand was worth every single penny!
Keep going!
[Item 6: Noble Phantasm: Excalibur (Sword of Promised Victory)]
Source:Fate Series
Effect: The ultimate trump card Noble Phantasm of Artoria Pendragon, King of Knights. When unleashed at maximum release, it unleashes city-level holy annihilation beam power, though it drains a colossal reserve of magical/prana energy upon activation.
Price: 30,000 Sacrifice Points
