Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

Yang Bo nodded slightly, thinking to himself: 'Since the Golden Finger says it's a customer, then... there must be goods.'

I am penniless right now, I don't have a single hair. No, I do have a few hairs, but they are all non-saleable.

He waved to Tanjiro, signaling him to come forward.

Seeing his gesture, Tanjiro was slightly taken aback and pointed to himself: "You mean you want me to go over there?"

"It's just the two of us here, it could be you or a ghost..."

Just as Yang Bo finished complaining, he suddenly remembered that in the world of Kamado Tanjiro, there really were demons, and not only demons, but also souls.

"Uh, come here first. I might know more information than you. Let's discuss how to get you out of this place."

Tanjiro nodded slightly, then walked towards Yang Bo. It wasn't that he was carefree, but rather that his special sense of smell allowed him to distinguish certain things.

At least he didn't smell any 'lies' on Yang Bo.

"My name is Yang Bo."

Upon hearing Yang Bo's self-introduction, Kamado Tanjiro immediately stood up straight and bowed, saying, "Hello, my name is Kamado Tanjiro."

Seeing this, Yang Bo waved his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "No need to be so polite."

"Let me explain the current situation. You came here by accident, and I have received some information that you should be considered my customer. Since you are a customer, you must have products or needs."

"Now here's the question, Tanjiro: is there anything you need, or anything you need me to do for you?"

"What do you need?"

Tanjiro still looked completely bewildered.

"I was on my way to Mount Fujikasa to participate in a trial when I accidentally wandered into a misty area, and that's how I ended up here..."

"If there's anything I want or anything I want to accomplish... it's through trials."

As soon as Tanjiro finished speaking, both he and Yang Bo froze on the spot.

"First transaction"

"Transaction requirements: Assist Tanjiro Kamado in passing the Fujisakeyama Trial."

"Transaction fee: Please negotiate directly."

'Uh, isn't it a reward? The transaction fee still needs to be discussed with Tanjiro?!'

Yang Bo sized up Tanjiro; the most valuable thing the man owned was the katana hanging at his waist.

However... this thing had no value to him except for being burned into iron pellets. The samurai sword, which weighed two or three pounds, was not as valuable to him as a piece of rebar.

Tanjiro then came to his senses and looked up at Yang Bo, saying excitedly, "Sir, I... saw a sentence that said I can return to my own world as long as we make a deal."

"To help you pass the trials of Mount Fujikasane..."

Yang Bo pondered for a moment, looking at Tanjiro's crimson eyes: "The trial is actually a test of your personal strength. To be honest, I really can't help you."

"Even if I really had the ability to help you cheat and pass the trial, it wouldn't be a good thing for you."

Tanjiro nodded in agreement.

Yang Bo plopped down on the workbench and took out "almond water" and "moth jelly" from his backpack.

"While these two items won't help you deal with the enemies on the road, they should be able to provide some assistance."

If I remember correctly, Tanjiro's trial lasted only seven days, and only the first day involved intense fighting; the remaining six days were basically spent dodging and trying to survive.

Almond water and moth jelly both have the ability to restore mental and physical strength, which is extremely precious for someone like Tanjiro who consumes a lot of energy.

"The item has been sold. Please collect your payment to complete this transaction."

Tanjiro Kamado also saw the transaction notification, but he was somewhat embarrassed: "Sir, I... I don't have any money on me."

"Even if I have money, it's useless to me."

As Yang Bo looked at Tanjiro, a sudden inspiration struck him. He realized what was most valuable to him about Tanjiro.

"I want you..."

"what?"

"Teach me the art of water breathing and swordsmanship."

Tanjiro instinctively took a step back and looked at Yang Bo: "Water Breathing and swordsmanship?"

"You just need to teach me the basics, or as long as the store considers the deal done, you can leave here."

Upon hearing Yang Bo's words, Tanjiro fell into deep thought.

According to the plot, as long as the other party is upright, not bloodthirsty, kind-hearted, and genuinely wants to learn skills to protect others, Tanjiro Kamado will definitely teach them.

The problem is that he didn't know Yang Bo's character.

However, he had to leave this place as soon as possible. Based on the mysterious hint, completing the transaction was the best option!

“Alright, I will tell you about Water Breathing and the sword techniques I know, but… if you use Water Breathing sword techniques to do evil, I will risk my life to get these things back.”

"Row."

Yang Bo completely ignored Tanjiro's warning. Swordsmanship is something that is important in some ways, but not in others.

"Don't worry, as long as others don't provoke me, I will never take the initiative to fight."

Tanjiro stared at Yang Bo, his eyes showing no sign of perfunctoriness, only the slightest trace of his previous restraint.

He slowly drew his katana from his waist, the blade gleaming with a cold, metallic light.

"If you want to learn the breathing of water, you must first understand its core. Breathing is not just exchanging air, but using breath to leverage the root of the body."

"No need to rush."

Tanjiro raised his hand and pressed down on his shoulder, his strength gentle yet steady: "Take a deep breath first, not just a normal panting, but inhale into your dantian and then slowly exhale, as if exhaling all the fatigue in your body."

Yang Bo did as instructed. When inhaling, his abdomen bulged slightly; when exhaling, his breath was long and even.

At first, he only felt a little awkward, but his body quickly got used to the rhythm.

"The first move of Water Breathing, Water Surface Slash, is not about brute force when swinging the sword, but about using breath to drive the arm."

Tanjiro then handed his katana to Yang Bo, saying, "Do you have a weapon? If not, you can use mine first."

"Try it: inhale fully, and as you exhale, slide the knife along the direction of your breath. Slowly, like gliding across the surface of water, without making a ripple."

"I have."

With a thought, the iron sword appeared in his hand.

Chapter 10: A Lonely Learning Experience

The so-called breathing techniques in Demon Slayer, although they don't have beams, flying, or energy balls, make the characters look like ordinary people.

In fact, "breathing techniques" can indeed be a hidden superpower that transforms humans into high-level superhumans.

The special effects are understated, with no glowing effects or wave effects, which is why it feels 'not very good'.

Actually... it's not that great. This special breathing method overdraws the body and brutally amplifies strength dozens of times.

Without extraordinary talent, it's safe to say that whoever tries to train with you will die.

This can be seen from the fact that no one with the Awakened Mark has ever lived past 25.

As for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who created the breathing method.

That only shows that the gap between people can sometimes be even greater than the gap between a person and a dog.

"my world"

In the superflat main world, Tanjiro looked at Yang Bo with an expression that suggested he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"that…"

"I know what you're trying to say, but breathing techniques don't work for me."

Yang Bo stood in front of Tanjiro, holding an iron sword. He even cheated a little by raising the sword and touching the palm-width blade.

"No matter how I breathe, I can't feel that boiling blood sensation."

To be honest, Yang Bo was really unwilling to accept it.

Ever since he transmigrated to the back room and encountered those entities who always wanted to treat him like a snack, he felt that he had developed some paranoia.

Despite the many drawbacks of the "Breathing Technique," he still wanted to give it a try.

Normally, it's not needed to deal with ordinary entities, but it can fight to the death if it encounters some powerful entities.

As for whether he will die young, we'll have to survive first.

Tanjiro Kamado was also a little embarrassed, even though it had been agreed that this was part of the deal.

"Then... let me tell you about my feelings in more detail..."

Yang Bo gently shook his head, rejecting Tanjiro's suggestion: "This has nothing to do with you; it's probably due to my physical condition."

His current body is likely inherited from Steve's, powerful but already solidified, and without special circumstances, it should be difficult for him to gain any additional benefits.

'If I remember correctly, my world seems to have a Demon Slayer mod. Does that mean I need to find a Nichirin Blade first?'

The Nichirin Blade is the most convenient weapon for slaying demons in "Demon Slayer," and it's standard equipment for the Demon Slayer Corps. It can change color, recognize its master, and possesses the power of the sun.

This weapon is forged from crimson sand iron and crimson ore from Sunny Mountain. The ore has absorbed thousands of years of sunlight and has a powerful ability to restrain demons.

"Then... how can I go back?"

Tanjiro was somewhat anxious. He had to pass the trials to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, only then could he better find a way to turn his sister back into a human.

In addition, it can also avenge his family.

"Show me your swordsmanship, and that will be your payment."

Is this okay?

"Well, theoretically I'm the boss, so as long as I admit it, there shouldn't be a problem."

"Ok."

Tanjiro looked pleasantly surprised. He then placed his hand on the hilt of his katana at his waist, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

The next moment, Tanjiro opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze made Yang Bo's heart tremble.
