Chapter 33: Chapter 33
"Move faster, faster!" Abel was growing anxious.
He didn't believe Doflamingo would keep waiting for him under the pursuit of the marines. He even seriously suspected that Doflamingo was ready to abandon him.
The long-term meal ticket he had finally found could not be so easily given up.
[Order confirmation: Starting transport]
[Primary wish order completed, customer gives five-star rating (perfect praise)!]
[Review: Hahaha, fantastic! It's a windfall! I'm rich now, really rich. I'm going to buy the best wine, and pour out a glass for every one I drink! Burp~]
[A five-star rating gives an additional 100% base trading point reward, remaining rewards have been automatically distributed, please check by yourself.]
[Due to the customer's extreme satisfaction, you have received an extra reward - the entire combat experience of Byakuya (including understanding of swordsmanship) and the talent: Soul of the Samurai (Orange)]
...
[Detected host received a five-star rating, can get intermediate trading qualifications upgrade details.]
[Condition one: Receive a five-star rating (completed)]
[Condition two: Complete thirty wish orders, with a good review rate of three stars and above at 60% (not completed).]
[Condition three: Complete an assessment of a special wish order, need to get a good review of three stars and above (not completed).]
[Note: When conditions one and two are completed, you can spend a thousand trading points to get an assessment opportunity for a special wish order. If the assessment fails, after a 24-hour cooling-off period, you can spend 1000 times the current number of assessments to get another chance.]
...
"Holy crap, a five-star review?!"
This time, Abel was genuinely shocked!
Abel hadn't been too hopeful, but Gintoki's real-world rewards had indeed given him a huge surprise!
"Darn, how much were those treasures worth just now?" Abel was a bit restless, but he didn't regret his actions at all.
Because compared to a five-star review, even the most valuable treasures might not be purchasable. Besides, he had no opportunity to hide any wealth. Even if he had managed to take some away, it would've been only a fraction of the total, nothing as substantial as now!
The doubled two hundred trade points were just the icing on the cake of his earnings this time.
[Wooden Sword Lake Toya] (Blue)
Type: Equipment
Description: A factory-made product purchased from TV shopping. However, it's slightly different now due to the infusion of a kind of idealistic power.
Effect: When practicing swordsmanship, the learning efficiency is doubled. (Can be stacked with other equipment or skill effects)
PS: It's very fragile. Only a fool would use it for actual combat.
...
As Abel made his way outside, he began to inspect his new acquisitions. He already had the [Quick Digestion] purple talent, which, when in a [Satiated] state, allows him to learn any knowledge with a tenfold increase in efficiency.
Now with this [Wooden Sword Lake Toya] that can improve swordsmanship learning efficiency and can stack effects, wouldn't he become a swordsmanship prodigy in an instant?!
No, he should say he already is a swordsmanship prodigy!
Because he has already successfully absorbed all of Byakuya's combat experience (including understanding of swordsmanship)
Even though many new memories have appeared out of thin air, these memories are extremely pure and have merged very quickly and smoothly, just as if he had personally experienced those battles.
Abel believes that as long as he practices diligently in the next period, he can quickly lay a solid foundation in swordsmanship.
With such a solid foundation in swordsmanship, learning any new sword techniques will be doubly effective, making progress by leaps and bounds!
However, the biggest surprise was yet to come.
[Acquired Orange Talent: Soul of the Samurai]
[Description: A tenacious soul forged from indomitable will and unwavering faith. The possessor of this soul can often unleash amazing combat power, even when near-death or seriously injured, and can counterkill their enemies!]
[When the 'seriously injured' state is triggered, the host will explode with 300% combat power and become immune to a one-time fatal effect until he exits the 'seriously injured' state or enters the 'dying' state. The cooldown is 24 hours.]
[When entering the 'dying' state, the host needs to complete three sit-ups relying on the unyielding belief within, which can then clear all temporary negative states and revive with full health. Cooldown time is 24 hours.]
...
"Wuhu, take off!"
The bonus rewards from five-star reviews are just so darn unique!
In a word, epic!
Such a talent truly stands out!
Compared to [Soul of the Samurai], that [Heart of the Wight] is just a piece of trash, not worth having even if it's given for free.
Indeed, you get what you pay for. An orange-quality talent simply crushes the blue-quality ones.
He wondered if the effects could be improved after evolving to purple talent.
If the side effects were still that significant, Abel would probably pretend he never had this talent.
As for the promotion conditions unlocked after receiving a five-star review, it was an unexpected surprise.
At least he now knew what conditions he needed to meet to acquire the [Intermediate Trading Qualification].
He was lucky to have completed the toughest condition one.
The subsequent condition two isn't difficult, a 60% rate of three-star or higher reviews is quite feasible.
But this condition three...
Not only does it require completion of conditions one and two, it also requires him to buy a 'ticket'!
The first time it's a thousand trade points, the second time it's two thousand, the third time it's three thousand.
If he were unlucky, he might go bankrupt before successfully getting promoted to [Intermediate Trading Qualification].
So he must prepare in advance before attempting, otherwise, if he fails a few times, it would be a huge blow.
It's best to get it done in one go.
As Abel was pondering over this, he suddenly heard a voice from above.
"At... at last I found you, the... the navy is coming, the young master told me to find you."
Buffalo descended from the sky, panting and speaking hastily.
Even Abel was taken aback by this. He had been mentally prepared to be left behind, but who would have thought that Doflamingo would actually come back for him?
"Thanks, I'll treat you to luxury ice cream when we get back."
"One isn't enough, I want two!"
The chubby boy didn't hold back.
Abel chuckled, "I'll treat you to three, let's go!"
After saying that, he sat on Buffalo's back. The chubby boy, upon hearing Abel's generosity, immediately lifted off into the sky with a big smile.
As it turned out, besides Baby-5, Abel was the first one to ride the 'Buffalo express'.
After all, there weren't any other peers around, and Buffalo couldn't carry too heavy an adult.
On the way back, Abel asked out of curiosity about the events that had occurred earlier, then he understood the whole picture.
He wondered why Doflamingo had suddenly changed his attitude, turns out it was because of Senor Pink's intervention.
Alright, the cigarettes he had given away before weren't wasted after all!
It seems he needs to maintain a good relationship with this unconventional member of the Donquixote family.
