Chapter 494: Soul Replication, Gantz's New Use (3K+)
"Where did you hear that from?"
"Could it be that I got it wrong, haha..."
The big bald man, code-named "Sokchakkat," seemed to be laughing heartily, but Bai Cangshu noticed that the corner of his eye was constantly on him.
This person's true personality was unknown, but Bai Cangshu guessed it was definitely completely different from the Heroic he was deliberately displaying now.
This guy exuded a twisted, affected aura.
Sokchakkat retrieved the skeletal material, not even showing Bai Cangshu the characteristic options for smelting, and turned to look at the items Jia Qi was preparing to trade.
"Jia Qi, what are you trading with Tao Pai Pai? Why don't you let me take a look too?"
Jia Qi frowned, also feeling that Sokchakkat's behavior was somewhat strange, not like he wanted to make a deal, but rather like he was deliberately stalling for time or interfering with his transaction with Tao Pai Pai.
He was unmoved and uninterested in the various undercurrents of the gatherings behind him.
As a high-ranking member of "Knight & Knight," he had indeed heard that Tao Pai Pai had become a "hot commodity" in many people's eyes, becoming the target of public criticism.
Many believed that Tao Pai Pai was behind the Ability User's performance from the Goryeo March Conglomerate. Tao Pai Pai's ambition and his changes to the situation of Reincarnators and the real world made many gatherings value him. This Tao Pai Pai was far more valuable than the previous Tao Pai Pai, who was purely addicted to killing.
"How about it, do you want to trade, Tao Pai Pai? I want to get Duke's belt and bloodline back all at once."
"You have agreed to Reincarnator JG20873354's offer."
"You have lost the item: Unidentified Belt."
"You have lost the Bloodline Item: Bloodline of White God Promise (Modified)."
"You have obtained the Ability Scroll: Ten Phoenix Nirvana Technique (Special)."
Bai Cangshu said nothing, put away the golden feather, and without even looking at it closely, turned and left the stall.
He left Sok and the others, who had a strange mocking expression on their faces, standing there.
Jia Qi and the others retrieved Duke's Relics, preparing to give these items to the recognized juniors in their gathering. In their gathering, "Knight" was a legacy.
When a Knight died, others would try to retrieve or obtain another identical driver, allowing a more passionate and righteous successor to transform again.
"As Reincarnators, we will eventually die, but Knights will not."
This was their motto.
Bai Cangshu's figure flickered, and he had already disappeared from the public Space, which disappointed the Reincarnators who had arrived one after another for the Operation Fruit. They could only leave offers, but offers were too inefficient to be read, especially for someone like Tao Pai Pai, who didn't seem like he would seriously read through each offer.
Black Butler, who was just coming out of a large gathering's public Space, suddenly received a Space communication. His expression became solemn, and he quickly applied to enter Tao Pai Pai's private Space.
With a flash of light, he found himself in a vast private Space, which now probably exceeded five hundred square meters, but this Space was empty and had no furnishings.
And Tao Pai Pai was discarding the low-value items that belonged to the former owner, which had just been integrated into his private Space.
Tao Pai Pai said nothing, and Black Butler immediately felt a chilling atmosphere. He could even see purplish-red ripples, like flames, fluttering behind Tao Pai Pai.
That was probably... Killing Intent Ripple.
Black Butler pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then spoke proactively.
"Recently, there have indeed been many rumors about you in the Space."
Bai Cangshu's movements paused, but he still didn't speak. Black Butler felt increasing pressure and could only continue to explain.
"But you know, as your fame grows, such information, true or false, will always increase, and many false messages are mixed in."
At this moment, Tao Pai Pai suddenly turned around, moving so fast it was like a frame-skipped animation, startling Black Butler. But to his surprise, there was no anger or displeasure on Tao Pai Pai's face at all.
He was smiling!
Tao Pai Pai's face held a smile that Black Butler couldn't understand.
"Tao Pai Pai, you..."
Bai Cangshu didn't explain. Black Butler was a weakling and wouldn't understand his Mental state.
He just shook his finger and said,
"Don't worry, I don't blame you. On the contrary, I asked you to come because I hope you can reveal more information about me~"
Black Butler's expression changed, and he quickly explained.
"Those previous information weren't revealed by me!"
"I have principles and will never disclose information that is detrimental to my employer!"
Bai Cangshu was noncommittal. He didn't trust Black Butler much, but cooperating with him was indeed convenient. Moreover, he wouldn't get angry over that level of information leakage, so he waved his hand dismissively, signaling Black Butler to quiet down.
"Such matters, whatever, I'll give you a fee, just like our first cooperation. You can leak my information and let the outside world know that I am very angry, very upset..."
Black Butler didn't understand, but still nodded in agreement.
Although such things would affect his "image," spreading rumors and gossip often didn't require him to personally appear.
Often, just by "accidentally" saying a few more words, it would quickly spread.
After Black Butler disappeared, Bai Cangshu took out Gantz in his private Space and placed it in the empty private Space.
He thought for a moment. After that deathmatch mission, he suddenly had more ideas about this thing.
He pressed his hand on Gantz, which quickly unfolded, and a screen appeared. The screen no longer displayed the Black Ball Squad members' information, but instead became something like an operating panel.
This was probably Gantz's original appearance; it was just turned into a tool for the rich to toy with humans in the Gantz world.
Bai Cangshu thought for a moment and directly chose to create humans.
"You can copy and revive any life form you have witnessed. The amount of information consumed is linked to the target life form's life level."
Bai Cangshu imagined the target's appearance in his mind, a smile on his lips. Soon, a tall, muscular man appeared on the screen. His long black hair flowed behind him, gently fluttering. His face was handsome, but a cruel smile seemed to be perpetually on his lips.
Bai Cangshu!
That was Bai Cangshu's own appearance.
"The target possesses abnormal information. Only basic information can be copied. Copying the basic information of the target individual requires the consumption of information: b-class special point * 1, dimensional points 18000."
Bai Cangshu pondered and further inquired through Gantz, discovering that the targets copied by Gantz could only retain soul information consistent with physical information.
Other abnormal information carried could not be copied. These abnormal information referred to the abilities, items, and bloodlines obtained by Reincarnators through various channels in the Infinite Dimensional Space.
It was like a 3D printer, but it clearly could only print the most basic things.
Bai Cangshu frowned; this couldn't satisfy his needs. After his battle with the Reincarnator who used replication magic, he thought of replicating himself and fighting a completely identical self, which he believed would be the most exhilarating fight he could imagine.
But Gantz couldn't do it.
He thought for a moment, and the Bai Cangshu in the image became thinner, and his hair returned to a refreshing Short Hair. That was his appearance before entering the Space.
"Copying the basic information of the target individual requires the consumption of information: d-class special point * 1, dimensional points 5000."
Bai Cangshu agreed to pay. The next moment, in the private Space, a new figure seemed to be printed out, generating rapidly downwards from the top of its head.
In a breath, a new Bai Cangshu appeared.
This Bai Cangshu, with a fake, insincere smile on his face, appeared in this empty room, showing no fear at all. He surveyed his surroundings and soon turned to meet the gaze of the real Bai Cangshu.
His pupils clearly constricted, and he spoke,
"It seems I've been copied by you?"
Bai Cangshu looked at the person he had copied. In the eyes identical to his own, he was using his peripheral vision to scan his surroundings, clearly looking for information that would allow him to control the situation.
This was indeed a guy no different from himself.
Bai Cangshu took a step forward.
The replicated Bai Cangshu, however, had already leaped back a large step. His body was low, and a violent heartbeat emerged from within him as his muscles began to swell.
Clearly, the oppressive feeling displayed by the original Bai Cangshu had stimulated him, making him perceive danger and quickly enter a combat stance.
Bai Cangshu remained unmoved and continued to walk towards his replicated self.
"Since you cannot please me, then let me see what differences still exist between you and me..."
Bai Cangshu's hands hung low. The aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster was completely incomparable to Bai Cangshu's before entering the Space, but the other party immediately straightened his body slowly, hands hanging low, seemingly imitating his own exertion.
"Hmm, probably possesses similar body control abilities to mine."
Bai Cangshu raised his right hand, and a powerful aura condensed at his fingertips.
Whir~
The whistling of the aura clearly caused the replicated Bai Cangshu's pupils to tremble violently. He began to refresh his understanding, realizing that the human in front of him, who was extremely similar to himself, was not an ordinary creature, and the upcoming battle would not be a purely physical combat.
Thump thump thump thump...
Intense, rapid heartbeats continuously sounded. Bai Cangshu watched the other party with interest, but the other party's muscles did not continue to swell. Instead, the next moment, he took an extremely fast step forward.
The speed of this step was much faster than the speed Bai Cangshu could achieve before entering the Space.
Whoosh!
A Dong Dong Wave suddenly shot out. The replicated Bai Cangshu's hair scattered, as if standing on end, and his eyebrows and eyes were fully open. His entire Mental focus was at its extreme, and he suddenly froze in place, dodging the Dong Dong Wave.
Then he took another step, lengthening his body, and punched towards Bai Cangshu's face.
Thud!
The replicated Bai Cangshu maintained the posture of his feet spread more than a meter apart, his body stretched out, and his fist thrown, but his upper body was already empty.
His body exploded like a watermelon, his upper body's flesh and blood shattered by Bai Cangshu's quickly raised punch.
Buzz~
At this moment, Li Qingzi, who had just been teleported in, looked at the tragic scene in the private Space, bewildered, not knowing what madness Bai Cangshu was up to again.
Bai Cangshu, however, threw the Ability Scroll named "The Extremes of Zero and One (A-)" to this Woman.
"Woman, learn this ability. Next, I need you to do something."
Li Qingzi was confused.
"I'm about to start a new deployment."
Bai Cangshu remained unmoved.
"Of course, after you return..."
Li Qingzi realized that Bai Cangshu didn't seem to have considered the possibility of her dying in the mission world, which meant that he might still have some trust in her.
She nodded, and without even asking what was happening or what had just occurred, she entered the public Space to begin her final training.
Bai Cangshu spent a d-class special point but gained some insights into himself and the peculiarities of his soul.
The replicated self's way of using his talents seemed not entirely the same as his own.
So, was the so-called "Heart Light," the truly special part of an individual, located there?
Of course, what was more important now were those lurking in the shadows.
Bai Cangshu's smile was radiant. He didn't dislike others trying to kill him. Fighting, that was the most interesting thing...
"Let's see who finds whom first, hey..."
