Instead of spending spare money to upgrade characters that start out weak, you'd be better off using it to level up yourself. Strength can be improved, but mindset, combat experience, and even fighting spirit are things that can't be built in a day.
"If I really do get a slice-of-life anime, is there any possibility of changing it?" After thinking for a moment, Aizen asked a question.
"Sure, if you buy all of them, the next one will be refreshed."
Aizen felt that it was still useless.
Unless it's a very short story with no more than ten characters, you can try a little harder.
"Also, the rewards for each completed task that achieves an S rating will vary depending on the difficulty of the task."
Upon hearing this, Aizen nodded slightly.
Needless to say, he could probably guess that.
The half-price coupon in the system store is now essentially the same as a half-price coupon for Heroic Spirits.
Aizen's expression changed slightly at the concept of "half-fold".
This system probably hasn't learned Chinese.
A 50% discount can be understood as half price or 0.5 discount!
"Open the gift pack for me."
"Ding! Activate Actor Gift Pack: 1 Best Actor Points, one opportunity to upgrade abilities (limited to abilities below B level, including B level)."
"A Best Actor award is worth 10,000 yuan, which is better than nothing."
With that in mind, Aizen completely ignored the idea of improving his abilities.
Do I still have abilities below Grade B?
Oh no.
Another skill is English.
Hmm, he felt that even if this thing wasn't useful for the time being, it shouldn't be wasted.
"Open the system store."
"Ding! Welcome to the system shop. Three characters will be randomly selected for purchase."
"assasn Hassan Sabah, Price: 5000 Movie Star Values".
"assasn Fuma Kotaro, Price: 32,000 Movie Star Values".
"assasn Okada Izou, Price: 5w5000 Movie Emperor Values".
This situation caught Aizen somewhat off guard.
"Are characters purchased from the system shop also randomly selected?"
"Yes, if you're not satisfied, you can wait until the next mission is completed to refresh the page. If you don't have enough Movie Star Points, you can buy more later. Refresh opportunities are saved every time a mission is completed. And you can only buy one character each time you refresh the page."
So it's still a choice of three.
Aizen was speechless.
And this time it's an Assassin compilation.
He said that Zhen Jil was a disgrace to the first scoundrel to inherit Hassan's name.
A fixed price often tells a lot.
However, detailed data can be viewed for characters in the system shop.
The attribute panels for the three are as follows.
A Hundred Faces of Hassan Sabah:
No Noble Phantasm combat power: C
Combat strength with Noble Phantasm: C
Fuma Kotaro:
No Noble Phantasm combat power: B
Combat strength with Noble Phantasm: A
Okada Izou:
No Noble Phantasm combat power: B
Combat strength with Noble Phantasm: B
First of all, we can ignore Hassan.
Although he has mastered many skills, his strength decreases when he creates clones, and he is essentially without a Noble Phantasm when he doesn't create clones. In fact, he is strongest when he is in his normal state.
Even disregarding his combat prowess, Hassan was actually quite valuable, but Aizen had no intention of buying him.
Then something interesting happened.
Kotaro Fuma possesses ninjutsu of A-rank, which means that even though his strength and endurance are not strong, he is able to stand up to the level of a vice-captain with his top-notch fighting style and excellent fire-style ninjutsu and magic. He can even put up a fight against a beginner-level captain's Kido.
In addition, he has a trump card that can enhance his combat power.
Compared to the Shinigami, Kotaro Fuuma in that state, with his physical strength and skills, should be able to fight against Captain-Commander Hakuda and the Great Kido Master's Kido.
Even with the side effects, combined with another Noble Phantasm, it can briefly contend with Captain-level Death Gods, and even defeating them in a short time is not entirely impossible.
In contrast, Okada Izo's basic stats were completely outclassed by Fuma Kotaro.
His only Noble Phantasm is a sword technique.
If his swordsmanship wasn't truly exceptional, he would have had a hard time even defeating the weakest vice-captain in his normal state.
Interestingly, the price of Kotaro Fuma is only over 30,000 yen, while Izo Okada's price is over 50,000 yen.
The root cause of this lies in Okada Izou's treasure!
The Beginning and End Sword with no rank!
It can reproduce all the sword techniques it has ever seen through its own hands, making it one of the very few Heroic Spirits that can autonomously become stronger after descending in Servant form.
The drawback is that it cannot replicate the swordsmanship concept of a Noble Phantasm.
This means that, within the Type-Moon universe, Okada Izou, in a direct confrontation with the swordsmanship and Noble Phantasms of individuals like Okita Souji and Sasaki Kojiro, would normally be outmatched. Unless Kojiro is willing to demonstrate his non-Noble Phantasm form, Swallow Return, even before its upgrade, is capable of time-space folding.
A strange light flashed in Aizen's eyes, and his finger involuntarily pressed on the portrait of a certain character.
Chapter 59 Okada Izo's Surrender 1/5
Fifth Division, Aizen's private rest room.
"I am Okada Izou of Tosa, you can also call me Executioner Izou. By the way, are you mine?"
A young man dressed in a dark blue overcoat, wearing a scarf, and with his hair tied in a gray-blue ponytail appeared before Aizen, speaking in a casual and arrogant tone.
Aizen didn't have any objection to the other party's attitude; instead, he carefully examined the other party.
The hair color is different from the picture in the character introduction.
The way he carries a sword at his waist and holds another sword in his left hand is somewhat similar to Miyamoto Musashi, both having one long and one short sword, with the one at his waist being the shorter wakizashi.
He exuded a rather strong aura of malevolence.
That was the effect of killing too many people; he died before he could fully process what he had done, resulting in his imposing aura being outwardly displayed.
"If that's how you understand it, then it's fine."
Aizen said with a smile.
Okada Izo pouted and said with a sullen expression, "What a nuisance. I'm really not used to being around someone like you who's always smiling."
"It seems you're quite resentful of me."
A strange glint flashed in Aizen's eyes.
"Ha, that's not to be expected."
boom.
A terrifying pressure suppressed Okada Izo's words.
Okada Izou's knees involuntarily bent as he stared in shock at the smiling man before him.
Really? Okada Izo, who looked like a frail scholar, was deeply shocked. At the same time, this feeling of being wronged stirred up his pride and resentment.
"What a joke! I'm the strongest, I'm a genius!"
With his slightly bent back and knees slowly straightening, Okada Izou's eyes were bloodshot as he screamed wildly.
*Pfft!* Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Okada Izo finally managed to stand firmly before Aizen, trembling.
"Heh, Okada Izo, the 'Four Great Slayers,' does have some magnanimity, but that's not enough to qualify him as a strongman."
There was not a trace of mockery in his laughter. Beneath Aizen's harmless smile lay a majestic presence that sent shivers down Okada Izo's spine: "How can you set aside your past experiences and follow me to witness more swordsmanship?"
To become a true strongman.
Follow behind me, feel the vastness of the world, witness how many insurmountable barriers are shattered, and conquer one impossibility after another with me.”
The confidence in his words was different from Okada Izo's blind arrogance about his own talent. It was an ambition and magnanimity that he would do everything he could to surpass no matter how many beings were stronger or better than him.
After a long while, Okada Izo stared blankly at the man in front of him, and finally chose to bend down.
"I understand. Since you're a man like this, I'll follow you for now and see how it goes."
"Tch, they clearly don't want to play the master-servant role anymore."
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, this...proud genius still submitted to Aizen.
Whether he succumbed to power, yielded to it, or both, is probably unknown to others.
Seeing this, Aizen smiled.
This... one of the proud Four Great Slayers, has truly submitted.
Okada Izo, one of the four great assassins of the late Edo period, was known as "Zou".
.
Born in Tosa in the ninth year of the Tenpo era (18), he studied under Takechi Hanpeita and learned the Ono-style Ittō-ryū from him.
Later, he followed Wu Shi to various parts of China and the Nine Provinces to practice martial arts.
Along the way, he also learned the Straight Point Style swordsmanship.
He later joined the Tosa Loyalist Party, which was formed by Takeichi.
The good times didn't last long, and the loyalist faction quickly lost power.
Takeichi returned to Tosa, while Izo changed his name to Doi Tetsuzo and went into hiding in Kyoto.
However, in June of the first year of Genji, he was captured by the shogunate officials, tattooed on his body, and exiled from Kyoto. At the same time, he was also arrested by the Tosa Domain officials and sent back to Japan.
Unable to withstand the severe torture, Izang confessed to his crimes and was beheaded on May 11th of the first year of the Keio era.
Before he died, he left behind a single sentence.
"Only after the devotion to the monarch vanishes like a bubble in water does it become clear."
Okada Izo was not a very noble person. Although he was a genius and a strongman of his time, he was also afraid of death and fearful, and he was not as loyal as one might imagine.
Yet this very person possesses the insight to clearly see the current situation.
In the end, he will find that he is not as loyal as he thought, and that so-called loyalty is just an illusion caused by Wu Shi's influence.
Only when he truly discarded that layer of illusion did he see his own heart clearly through that mirage.
He was simply someone who pursued swordsmanship.
They are "ordinary people" who yearn to defeat their opponents, gain recognition, and thus achieve fame.
That's why he was no longer willing to be loyal to anyone.
Because he felt he wouldn't be loyal to anyone.
To be honest, compared to Okada Izo, Fuuma Kotaro's personality and character are perhaps more admirable.
But Aizen didn't mind these things.
Because he never believed in absolute loyalty.
