Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me

Chapter 203: Anti-Protagonist Shop

--- Chapter 200 ---

[Opening Anti-Protagonist Shop...]

[Ding! You're currently 1st Tier Customer]

[You may only access 1st Tier Goods]

[Listing 1st Tier Goods...]

[Soul Guardian(One Usage only) - 500 Protagonist Halo]

[Body Creation(One Usage only) - 750 Protagonist Halo]

[Talent Randomizer(One Usage only) - 999 Protagonist Halo]

[Transmigration Ticket(One Usage only) - 1,000 Protagonist Halo]

[Reincarnation Ticket(One Usage only) - 1,000 Protagonist Halo]

[Luck Rebound(One Usage only) - 3,000 Protagonist Halo]

[Destiny Cutter(One Usage only) - 5,000 Protagonist Halo]

There are a total of seven goods in the Anti-Protagonist Shop. Baek Ain's eyes scanned over the system panel and frowned because the currency used to purchase these goods was actually Protagonist Halo!

"Alicia, my eyes aren't wrong, right?"

[Nope] Alicia responded immediately.

[Your eyes functioned perfectly]

[Protagonist Halo is indeed the currency in the Anti-Protagonist Shop]

[I mean, it shouldn't be hard to connect the dots]

[So if you wanted to raise your tier and purchase more goods, you must kill or minimally turn the Protagonist's life upside down]

Baek Ain's mouth twitched, "So you want me to deal with people like Xiao Yan later?"

[No, not me] Alicia denied Baek Ain's accusation.

[Remember, I'm just your lovely and sensible guide]

'To hell with your sensibleness!' Baek Ain couldn't help but curse inwardly.

[Nearly all the 'important' quests you got come from the Goddess of Opportunity. She was the one who wanted you to deal with more Protagonist]

"But why did she want me to do that?"

[Who knows] Even Alicia sounds a little puzzled.

[The Goddess of Opportunity is a powerfully mysterious constellation in the Omniversal Order. From what I know, only a handful of people know about her origin, and I'm not one of those people]

[Sometimes it's better to do the job without knowing why, Host]

Baek Ain wasn't satisfied with Alicia's answer and mumbled, "I can ask her later..."

At least Baek Ain won't get any annoying quests soon as the Goddess of Opportunity quota to give him a task is still on cooldown. He still has a year or maybe even more before that moment.

As much as Baek Ain tried to understand the Goddess of Opportunity's intention, he couldn't.

He sighed and asked, "Give me the introduction of each item."

[Please wait a second...]

[Name: Soul Guardian(One Usage only)]

[Type: Defensive Authority]

[Grade: 1st tier]

[Effect: 1st tier Defensive Authority that kept one's soul from harm, and it last depends on how harmful the environment is]

...

[Name: Body Creation(One Usage only)]

[Type: Creation Authority]

[Grade: 1st tier]

[Effect: 1st Tier Creation Authority that allowed one to construct a new vessel. The body created cannot exceed 1st tier, which means it might come with random limitations or defects]

...

[Name: Talent Randomizer(One Usage only)

[Type: Bestowment Authority]

[Grade: 1st tier]

[Effect: Draw in the Bestowment Authority and receive one talent within the 1st tier realm. The talent received is random and might be useless upon usage. Good luck~!]

...

[Name: Transmigration Ticket(One Usage only)]

[Type: Samsara Authority]

[Grade: 1st tier]

[Effect: A rare ticket molded by the Samsara Authority, permitting one's soul to go through the Star River of Samsara and transmigrate to another world. The world one transmigrated into is random, and the new vessel might not be 100% suitable for one's soul, which led to some backlash. Good luck~!]

...

[Name: Reincarnation Ticket(One Usage only)]

[Type: Samsara Authority]

[Grade: 1st tier]

[Effect: A rare ticket molded by the Samsara Authority, permitting one's soul to go through the Star River of Samsara and reincarnate to another world. The world one reincarnated into is random, and the rebirth might not be the same species, which leads to a change in the soul's nature due to incompatibility. Good luck~!]

...

[Name: Luck Rebound(One Usage only)]

[Type: Casualty Authority]

[Grade: 1st tier]

[Effect: Set an invisible barrier with the strength of Causality Authority and reflect 'bad luck' to the opposite side. The outcome varies from target to target, but the chance of success increased by 50% when targeting the Protagonist with Protagonist Halo below 10,000. Target with Protagonist Halo above 10,000 will decrease the chance of success by 50%]

...

[Name: Destiny Cutter(One Usage only)]

[Type: Severing Authority]

[Grade: 1st tier]

[Effect: Grant one a chance to use Destiny Cutter, which could sever nearly everything in the 1st tier realm. Still, Destiny Cutter was 'strictly' suggested to cut Thread of Destiny between two people, which led to Karmic Oblivion]

...

Baek Ain blinked in disbelief, "What's with these goods?"

"Most of them literally are scams."

[Well, it's only a 1st Tier Anti-Protagonist Shop...]

[Bear with it, Host]

[However, I'm sure you can make use of some of these goods, except the first item that is]

[Your Innate Skill: Soul Protection(Unknown) would do a much better job than Soul Guardian, so don't waste your Protagonist Halo on it]

"Talking about my Innate Skill: Soul Protection(Unknown), I shouldn't get these defects or backlash when using Transmigration or Reincarnation Tickets, right?" Yu Long raised a point.

[Obviously...] Alicia gives him a half-assed response.

Baek Ain furrowed his brows and asked, "What about the Luck Rebound and Destiny Cutter?"

[Hmm, I don't recommend you buy them for now]

[You can only buy Destiny Cutter once with your current Protagonist Halo]

[As for Luck Rebound... I don't think you need it, considering you have Protagonist Halo's Nullifier and Protagonist Slayer's Title]

"I see..."

"Then, I don't see anything worth buying." Baek Ain commented in disappointment.

[You can try buying Talent Randomizer]

[You know that having strong talent is like having strong Innate Skills]

"Hell no, you want me to gamble my precious Protagonist Halo on a shady item like that?" Baek Ain denied Alicia's proposal instantly.

"It's literally a Gacha for Talents."

"Gacha is a scam." Yup, Baek Ain has a dark history with the Gacha Games.

[Trust me, Host]

[The probability of getting good talent is not that low]

"Oh, really?" Baek Ain snorted at Alicia's scheme. "What's the chance of me getting good talent?"

"Come on, Alicia."

"Tell me."

[Uh...]

[0.69%]

"..." Baek Ain didn't even say a thing and grudgingly flipped his middle finger at the system panel.

[It's not that bad...] At this point, Alicia sounds like she is begging.

"Shut it."

Baek Ain ignored Alicia and stared into the distance, feeling the sunset hit him gently. Unknowingly, he stayed on the balcony motionlessly, and many hours passed.

"Ain?" Someone called Baek Ain.

Baek Ain turned around and saw Lan Rou walking with a tray.

Lan Rou smiled and said, "I made sweet herbal tea for you."

"Thanks." He said as Lan Rou placed the tray on the balcony's railing.

She leaned on his body and watched the scenery together. They didn't utter a word for fifteen minutes to enjoy this serene atmosphere before Lan Rou finally opened her mouth.

"Do you want to know what I witnessed in the Unfinished Samsara?" Lan Rou's voice sounds melancholic when saying this.

Baek Ain checked her expression and nodded, "Sure."

Lan Rou closed her eyes and told Baek Ain about her horrible experience in the Unfinished Samsara. She wished she had never experienced such a thing again but was glad because it strengthened her will even further.

It's nothing like her first three reincarnations. The Unfinished Samsara is like a dream and a nightmare come true together.

"We got chased by a group of Demonic Practitioners."

"Left with no choices, we attempted suicide attack and died in each other's embraces..."

"Such a beautiful end for us." Lan Rou lamented with misty eyes.

"Ain?"

"Ain, what's the matter?" She saw Baek Ain standing on the spot with a shocked expression.

"It's connected!" Baek Ain's eyes widened as he shouted in awe.

"Our Unfinished Samsara is connected!"
