Chapter 147 How to Play Fang Yi's Profession

The Demon Slayer Corps' temporary base, located in the courtyard where the Pillars United Conference takes place.

Looking at the pillars who dispersed one after another after receiving several of his orders, some excited and some with renewed fighting spirit, Fang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to relax for a few seconds.

He was not sure if he was suitable to be a leader, and he also understood that he was not a top-level hexagonal talent like Zhuge Liang who was proficient in military affairs, politics, interpersonal relationships, etc.

But since he was entrusted with the responsibility of being the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, he had to try to do something to lead these people to victory.

Although Fang Yi does not consider himself to be a very capable leader, his statement of "Zhuge Liang in his strongest form" is not an overreach. After all, "Zhuge Liang after the event" is indeed recognized as the strongest existence.

Fang Yi just has a slightly better memory, has seen more things, and has read the script of this mission. He can be regarded as a "hindsight expert" to a certain extent.

Although this hunting mission is included, the plots of his three missions have never really followed the original plot, and the protagonists of the mission world are obviously various kinds of reincarnations.

But the plot is only one aspect. What’s more, it contains enemy intelligence and various interpersonal relationships. Fang Yi’s unique advantage lies in his ability to deeply dig out information for benefits.

Combined with the [character role-playing method] and [supernatural attraction] he had cultivated in the past ten years, as well as some interpersonal skills, plus the insignificant face that was attractive in his previous life, he could always borrow some momentum from these characters.

As long as he was in his own brain, this vast and boundless library, he would find the corresponding bookshelf according to the category, brush off the dust on the bookshelf, and compare the names on the back of the books.

Find the book with the corresponding character, take it out, and the information about them in your memory will emerge.

He can then play the role of the person the other party desires and needs, try to cooperate and implement a win-win strategy, gain support, and get the victory he wants.

All you have to do is put on one mask after another and play your preset role. There is nothing forced about this. After all, who doesn't wear a mask in life?

I just switch faster and more frequently.

He accepted the financial support from the 'man' who was rumored to be called 'Shan' and became the only one who survived in all the martial arts schools. Although no one asked Fang Yi to do anything, and at the same time, no living person would ever ask Fang Yi to do anything again.

But he still swore to kill those enemies and tried hard to find all the strength to make himself stronger in order to fulfill this oath.

It is not very noble, cool, or interesting, but Fang Yi has been moving towards this oath seriously, step by step.

I, Fang Yi, am now 20 years old. I am not a good person, my goals are not very noble, and I have some ridiculous principles that I am unaware of, but I still stick to them. My story is also very boring.

After relaxing for a few seconds, Fang Yi turned his attention back to Zenitsu Agatsuma and the Kamado siblings in front of him. He was ready to collect some rewards and continue to strengthen his strength.

[But I will become stronger and will always walk on the road to victory]

After relaxing, Fang Yi changed his face, put on the most standard, proper and most stranger-pleasing smile, and greeted Zenitsu Agatsuma and Tanjiro Kamado.

"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Ubuyashiki entrusted me with the affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps, so I kept you two waiting for so long."

"I need your help with something right now. I need to take up a little of your time. Please come with me to my place to do something."

"But I promise not to waste too much of your time. I hope you can accept my request."

After Tanjiro Kamado bowed, he was about to prostrate himself on the ground and kowtow, but he stopped only with the firm support of Fang Yi.

Although Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was standing by, was not as excited, his expression was also full of gratitude.

After turning Nezuko Kamado back into a human, Tanjiro Kamado's friendship level has reached [80/100]. At the same time, after Zenitsu Agatsuma cleared his suspicion with his "true lie", his friendship level has also reached [71/100].

Fang Yi's two talents are already stirring, and he is not far from deducing the [Breathing of the Sun] by relying on several derived breathing methods.

Agatsuma Zenitsu can complete the missing [First Form: Thunderbolt Flash] in his [Thunder Breathing], unlock the point-adding function of [Thunder Breathing], and further advance his progress in evolving [Sun Breathing].

As for Tanjiro Kamado, he was already prepared to use the [Blood Demon Art: Whisper of Forced Sleep and Hypnosis] to specifically construct a dream with Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and then enter the dream to observe the creator of the breathing method practicing the [Breathing of the Sun].
-
Fang Yi's residence in the Demon Slayer Corps' temporary base.

Before activating the Soul of Fate, Fang Yi prepared to complete the [Breath of Thunder] first, and Agatsuma Zenitsu, who was brought to Fang Yi's residence, looked at Fang Yi in front of him curiously.

Even though he had been recuperating elsewhere, he had heard of the swordsman's experience.

Rumor has it that this swordsman, the temporary leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, has an extremely exaggerated talent. He only saw the sword moves demonstrated by the user of [Water Breathing], and figured out the sword skills on his own without any breathing method.

Tomioka Giyu's self-created move [Water Breathing·Form 11·Calm], known as an absolute defensive sword move, was learned by the opponent after just one look.

So when Fang Yi asked himself to demonstrate [Thunder Breathing·First Form·Thunderbolt Flash] in front of him, Agatsuma Zenitsu pieced together the "truth" that the other party could use [Thunder Breathing].

Agatsuma Zenitsu began to demonstrate the sword moves seriously, while sorting out the whole story in his mind.

"Although I can't accept it, the truth is probably that Senior Brother Yao Yue has truly transformed into a ghost and used sword techniques in his battle with Mr. Fang Yi."

"Then, Mr. Fang Yi, who possessed incredible talent, learned how to use the [Thunder Breathing] style of swordsmanship."

"The letter written by Mr. Ubuyashiki probably mentioned some of Master's personality traits, so Mr. Fang Yi stepped in to help."

Looking at Zenitsu Agatsuma demonstrating his sword skills, Fang Yi listened to the prompt sound from the main god space beside his ear, "Zenitsu Agatsuma's friendship level towards you has become [81/100]."

Fang Yi was a little confused, as if the swordsman had imagined something unknown to him.

However, this did not affect his completion of [Breath of Thunder]. As his talent [Supernatural Gravity] was activated, Fang Yi's favorite sound, which also indicated a reduction in points, rang out.

Agatsuma Zenitsu teaches you Thunder Breathing: First Form: Thunderbolt Flash. And there's the all-too-familiar sound: "The character you're teaching is skilled in a high-level skill, triggering a discount. You need 100 points to learn."

Fang Yi quickly paid out the 100 points. The panel for [Thunder Breathing], which had been grayed out and indicated that it could not be added, finally returned to normal. Even after the discount, 900 points were still deducted from the account in the main divine space. After upgrading [Thunder Breathing] to level 4, Fang Yi not only mastered a lot of sword skills, but also learned more physical explosive techniques.

Fang Yi was still somewhat interested in this sword skill, at least more than other breathing techniques.
-
[Breath of Thunder] is a sword skill that focuses on explosiveness. Like many sword skills, especially this one [Form 1: Thunderbolt Flash], it puts a huge burden on the body. Of course, compared with the cost, the effect is also very good.

This move is one of the few sword techniques that Fang Yi has always felt is highly compatible with him among the breathing techniques he has added.

The [Breath of Fire] skill he added points to has never been used so far. He added these skills only to obtain more information about the breathing method and to better deduce the [Breath of the Sun] skill which is very useful against ghosts.

However, having said that, the reason why this move [Thunder Breathing·Type 1·Thunderbolt Flash] is highly compatible with Fang Yi is also ironic, because the first swordsman Fang Yi met who was quite good was Chen Cheng.

In the duel with him in the previous world, Fang Yi was already impressed by his weird burst skills, so before killing Chen Cheng, he had been deducing and simulating the opponent's burst skills in his mind to deal with the opponent's attacks.

He 'learned' this skill from Chen Cheng, which does not appear on the system panel.

In fact, [Breath of Thunder·Type 1·Thunderbolt Flash] should be the sword skill that is most suitable for Chen Cheng, because even after the opponent's talent is weakened, the characteristic [Blade Light Shadow] still provides a considerable bonus.

With the blessing of the special feature, Fang Yi can now draw his sword extremely quickly, and the damage bonus of sword weapons is also very high, which is enough to show how terrifying Chen Cheng's original talent bonus is.

If it weren't for the last mission, the other party would not have received any settlement income, and at the same time, he would have obtained the derivative skill [Burning Heart] in this mission. With the blessing of various breathing methods, the panel attributes were close to the limit of rank 1, and the cheating skill [Preemptive Strike] was also triggered.

As well as the very suitable [Mastery Level Swordsmanship] skill that the main god space gave him, which could only be obtained at the next level, Fang Yi had a deeper understanding of swordsmanship.

With all the above factors combined, people like Fang Yi, whose talents do not directly increase their combat effectiveness, have the capital to confront talented people like Chen Cheng head-on.

After all, Fang Yi's own talent does not directly increase his combat power, which is a great disadvantage in early battles.

If Fang Yi himself did not understand the plot, he would be a genius, with good charm and good speaking skills. At the same time, as an ordinary newcomer, he has a good panel, a small skill called [White Eyebrow Fist], and a relic of unknown quality called [Five Emperors' Coins].

At the same time, he obtained super-standard skills in the world of magic, and after being cut into pieces by Sukuna's domain at the beginning, he obtained two very powerful traits, [Human Body Understanding] and [Sukuna Container]. It is very difficult for him to develop.

In a normal panel, without a Reincarnator as talented as Fang Yi, getting [Friendliness to Others] that has not evolved into [Supernatural Gravity] is like being a hero who lacks the initial skills compared to others and only has normal attacks.

The initial development will be very slow, and the combat effectiveness will be very different from others, directly entering a vicious cycle where you cannot form combat effectiveness without points, and cannot obtain points due to insufficient combat effectiveness.

The normal way to play his talent is to go the summoner route, playing the ultimate Max C in the late game, gaining more help and even followers through the friendship bonus provided by the talent, and ganging up on the opponent.

Or you can play as a single player, acquire more skills through [Extraordinary Gravity] and [Diligent Learning], invest a lot of points to form combat power, and approach the effect of the opponent's talent bonus through more skill combinations and skill connections.

However, the above two routes are not something that normal reincarnationists can afford. At least, the "first generation" like Fang Yi can't afford it. Maybe the "second generation" like Zhuang Zhengyan and Chen Cheng can afford it.

There is no other reason. There are two ways to form stable combat effectiveness. Skill upgrades require points and plot points, normal follower training requires merit, and strengthening followers requires points and plot points.

So how do you get plot points, points, and merits?

The answer is to obtain it through strong combat power and completing tasks.

In this way, the problem returns to the starting point. Talent does not directly increase combat power, so the speed of obtaining points is slower than others, and combat power cannot be exerted due to lack of points.

Of course, with Fang Yi's current understanding of talents and skill branches, it is obvious that ordinary reincarnations have a chance to turn things around through acquired efforts and going through a few more missions.

Like Chen Cheng's talent, judging from the introduction of the weakened characteristics, the composition of his swordsmanship talent is not only the other party's talent in swordsmanship, but also the other party's experience of practicing swordsmanship for several years and his understanding of swordsmanship.

As long as you survive in the space, your own experience combined with the tasks in the space may deepen some talents that increase your combat power, and some items can also speed up these processes.

For example, the relic "Akaza's Thank You Gift" in Fang Yi's hand is a relic that amplifies and accelerates the practice of boxing. If he is exposed to more boxing skills and guided by space, he can reversely acquire boxing-related characteristics and induce related talents through channels such as hunting missions.

For example, the [Bloody Alchemy] that comes with the [Nameless Alchemist's Gauntlets], if used multiple times, he can obtain traits related to alchemy or blood sacrifice, and even talents. Of course, this is a secondary profession and does not directly increase combat power.

Judging from the information Fang Yi has at present, most of the reincarnations use talent as the core to greatly enhance related skills as their core combat power, and at the same time use characteristics and skill branches to further enhance related skills.

If it weren't for the mission that Jushu was on to kill him, and the [Five Emperors' Coins] in his hand, Fang Yi would not be at a disadvantage when fighting against ordinary reincarnationists if he took the normal route. However, if he faced a top-level reincarnationist like Chen Cheng in the early days, he would basically be defeated.

Fang Yi's luck is very bad. In the last world, he met Chen Cheng, and in this world, he met Liao Lin.

It's rare to encounter this kind of reincarnationist who is obviously different from ordinary reincarnationists every time.

A weak hero who is good at late-game development meets a hero with abnormal early-game development. He either has the prophet cheat or is a genius and develops very advanced. At the same time, it is really difficult to fight in this mission because the main god space gives whatever is lacking.
-
After Fang Yi finished learning [Thunder Breathing] and dealt with Zenitsu Agatsuma, he turned his gaze to Tanjiro Kamado who was standing beside him.

This somewhat nervous young man really wanted to see him (Yūichirō Tsugikuni in his dreams) very much.

[Douma, Kokushibo, Muzan Kibutsuji, don't worry, wait for me to start it]

After a brief conversation, the other party, who was very friendly, immediately accepted Fang Yi's request to enter his dream.

When Fang Yi said, "Go to sleep," he used the blood demon technique to successfully enter Tanjiro Kamado's dream and saw the swordsman practicing sword skills like dancing.

Fang Yi couldn't help but say that.

"Fate God, start!"

　Because of some new settings added in the fourth volume, part of the existing plot was rewritten.

　　The promised additional updates will have to wait a few days so that I can smooth out the plot.
