[Condition met: Dungeon cleared "Hide and Seek in the Deep Mountains." Character Card [Inosuke Hashibira (Young)] (Purple) successfully fused!]
Another character card successfully fused, which made Jay quite pleased.
Whether it was [Body Control] or [Tactile Perception], both were extremely useful abilities.
Now that they've become his innate talents, using them in the future would only be even more intuitive and seamless.
Much better than those previously fused trash-tier character cards, by a long shot!
It's also worth mentioning that the white card [Chiharu Nakahara] had also been casually fused along the way.
The fusion condition was to wear a butterfly hairpin for thirty days.
Since Jay had been consistently wearing a hat during this period, no one had discovered his secret.
Even more unexpectedly, the newly acquired [Logistics Medical Care] ability ended up fusing with the same-named existing ability.
Its effect also upgraded: [While in a resting state, wound recovery speed slightly increased.]
The description had changed from "marginally" to "slightly."
While the difference was barely noticeable, it revealed a key secret to Jay, after fusing character cards, abilities with the same effect can stack and further enhance the original power.
If that's the case, then even so-called "trash" abilities might produce incredible effects when stacked multiple times through fusion.
Conclusion: I just need to keep spending like crazy and draw more cards!
Colonel Hammond had provided 80 million Berries, and as agreed, Capone Bege also paid Jay 50 million Berries in "information fees."
Looking at the 130 million Berries on his system panel, Jay decided to go ALL IN!
[Congratulations, you received: Sweet Potato Miso Soup.]
[Congratulations, you received: Radish and Salmon.]
[Congratulations, you received: Striped Long Socks.]
[Congratulations, you received: Standard Bento Box.]
[Congratulations, you received: Ramune Soda.]
[Congratulations, you received: Nichirin Blade.]
...
[Congratulations, you received: Senbei.]
[Congratulations, you received: Sakura Mochi.]
[Congratulations, you received: Tempura.]
[Congratulations, you received: Ramune Soda.]
[Congratulations, you received: Gunpowder Ball.]
[Congratulations, you received: Character Card (Red).]
...
A red card!
Jay was a little emotional.
He had already dumped nearly 200 million Berries into this pool and finally drew a red card!
He skipped over the random junk.
In the end, he got two white, one blue, and one red, a total of four character cards.
He immediately checked the red card first:
~[Gyomei Himejima]
Origin:Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Tags: Rock Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Strongest Hashira
Rarity: Red
Passive Ability: Fudō Myō-ō - A body tempered like solid rock, greatly enhances strength and defense.
Special Effect: When feet are firmly connected to the ground, reflects 30% of the physical damage back to the attacker.
Activation Condition: Reward Goodness, Do one good deed per day, accumulate 100 days.
Active Ability: Breath of Stone - One of the five fundamental Breathing Styles, with overwhelming attack power and impenetrable defense.
Activation Condition: Punish Evil, Do one act of justice per day, accumulate 100 days.
Ultimate Ability 1: Demon Slayer Mark!
Activation Condition: Earn the sincere gratitude of 100 children.
Ultimate Ability 2: Transparent World!
Activation Condition: Seal all five senses, bury yourself 3 meters underground, survive for 7 days.
Status: Cannot be fused.
The Rock Pillar [Gyomei Himejima!]
He's recognized as the strongest Hashira in the Demon Slayer world.
No doubt, his strength surpasses the other nine Hashira.
In comparison, Jay had previously drawn [Mitsuri Kanroji], who is also one of the Hashira, but by power rankings, she belongs to the lower tier.
That alone shows how terrifying the Rock Pillar's strength truly is.
A red card, well deserved!
Jay was already very satisfied. Among the activation conditions, only [seal all five senses, bury yourself 3 meters underground, and survive for 7 days] seemed unreasonably difficult, he could ignore it for now.
The others just required time and consistent effort. Not too bad.
Now for the other three character cards:
~[Murata]
Origin:Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Tag: The King of Extras
Rarity: Blue
Passive Ability: Beginner's Luck - In life-threatening situations, slightly increases the chance of narrowly escaping death.
Activation Condition: Participate in a high-risk battle beyond your strength and land a noteworthy hit.
Status: Cannot be fused.
~[Nao Takada]
Origin:Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Tag: Nurse from the Butterfly Mansion (Logistics/Meds)
Rarity: White
Passive Ability: Logistics Medical Care - Slightly speeds up healing when resting.
Activation Condition: Wear a green butterfly belt around your waist.
Status: Cannot be fused.
~[Aoi Kanzaki]
Origin:Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Tag: Nurse from the Butterfly Mansion (Logistics/Meds)
Rarity: White
Passive Ability: Logistics Medical Care - Slightly speeds up healing when resting.
Activation Condition: Wear twin ponytails and a blue butterfly hair accessory.
Status: Cannot be fused.
"Good grief… Nao Takada, Aoi Kanzaki… along with Chiharu Nakahara and Kiyoshi Terauchi, who I've already fused earlier, I've basically assembled the Logistics F4," Jay muttered helplessly.
Especially when he saw the activation conditions, of course, more butterfly hair accessories he was speechless.
If he wasn't certain these abilities could be fused later to enhance their effects, he would've tossed the two white cards into storage to collect dust.
Even now, he had to seriously consider whether he had enough card slots to justify fusing them.
The blue card, [Murata], was a bit more interesting.
The passive ability, [Beginner's Luck], slightly increased survival odds during near-death moments.
Normally, it wouldn't stand out, even indistinguishable from having no effect.
But if it triggered even once, it would be more than worth it.
And each successful trigger would be a massive win.
Of course, Jay knew the odds of it triggering must be low.
Still, if he could draw more cards with similar abilities and fuse them, he could increase the activation rate over time.
Jay glanced at his currently equipped character cards:
[Yujiro Hanma], [Mitsuri Kanroji], and [Genya Shinazugawa].
After a bit of thought, he began optimizing and rearranging his loadout.
