Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Aside from the blade, it seems to be all about the aura attribute, which is similar to other gold equipment. It matches the five major attributes of constitution, agility, burst damage, willpower, and aura, and it has all been gathered.

in other words.

Will there be any more withdrawals in the future?

To put it bluntly, is it even possible to produce anything?

Sano rubbed his fingers together... and suddenly realized that his game account was already at the maximum level.

This is a bit disheartening.

No, one of the gold items I have doesn't have the corresponding attribute.

Moreover, it is also the gold of gold.

Ok……

After thinking it over carefully, Sano looked at the number of lottery draws he still had.

It was sent out immediately.

"Random enhancement in progress. Congratulations, host, your ring has been enhanced successfully..."

...A thumb ring?

When did I get one of these things?

Wait a moment.

As if he had rediscovered his earliest feelings, Sano pulled out a map and saw that the location was in the antique shop he had just left... But didn't that shop only sell knives? What the heck is a thumb ring?

Sano had no choice but to return to the antique shop first.

With a specific target in mind, Sano immediately noticed a detail he hadn't noticed before—the shop owner had a black thumb ring on his right thumb, but it wasn't quite the same as a normal thumb ring.

Normally speaking, when it comes to thumb rings...

Most people would probably picture a thick, cylindrical jade cylinder.

However, the item in the shop owner's hand was not a cylinder.

Halfway up, it continues to extend upwards while also bending outwards.

Hmm... For a moment, Sano didn't know how to describe it.

If I had to compare it, it's similar to the shape of fingernails that curl outwards and upwards, isn't it?

Anyway, it's an arc shape.

But when it comes to what this thing is actually used for, Sano really doesn't know.

...It should be jewelry, right?

It's just something you wear on your wrist, so what special effects could it possibly have?

A spatial ring?

"Hey boss, why are you back again?"

The shop owner noticed Sano outside the door and immediately asked a question with suspicion... He didn't seem to be regretting his decision and coming to return the goods, since he wasn't carrying a wooden sword.

Wait a moment.

This person had just left after buying things a few minutes ago, and it seems they didn't drive.

If you don't live right next door.

Was it stolen, or did they lose their things?

"Would you sell the ring on your hand?"

Sano didn't waste any words and got straight to the point, stating his intentions.

The boss was taken aback at first, then looked at the ring on his thumb and smiled with some satisfaction: "I thought you were just an outsider with a bit of insight but absolutely no experience, but I didn't expect you to have such an amazing eye, especially when it comes to things like this traditional flower cultivation."

Sano raised an eyebrow but remained silent, meaning—please go ahead and do your thing.

The boss was a straightforward person and began to introduce himself.

"This ring should actually be called a thumb ring. In the eyes of most people today, a thumb ring is probably just an ornament worn on the thumb. But in ancient times, this thing was used for shooting arrows to prevent the tiger's mouth from being scratched. It originated in the Shang Dynasty of China."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out a bow and arrow from under the counter, pulled it out, and showed Sano how to use it... In fact, it involves using the outward-curving part of the thumb ring to "hook" the part where the bowstring and arrow intersect, thus replacing the fingers and the web of the hand that should be gripping this part.

"To be honest, boss, I really feel like we're destined to meet."

After introducing the items, the transaction officially began. The shopkeeper looked at Sano with a sincere expression and said, "As you can see, I specialize in selling swords. The other items are from my private collection. Also, unlike the art replica you just bought, this is a genuine antique, and the price won't be low."

Sano wasn't sure if his boss was testing his limits, or whether it was fate or destiny, and dared not say... but it was a transaction.

There has to be something for people to earn, and Sano doesn't object to that.

Therefore, as long as it's not too outrageous, Sano doesn't mind spending a little more money.

But if it's outrageous...

Ha, so even things like murder and robbery, which are only found in novels, can originate from reality.

A few minutes later, Sano returned to the deserted spot.

Looking down at the thumb ring, the effect appeared before my eyes.

Enhancement item name: Archery Thumb Ring.

Grade: B.

effect:

Sharpshooter (When equipped with this enhancement, archery skills will be elevated to the highest level in the world).

Restrictions: None.

Note: An archer who can't fight in melee is not a good archer!

"..."

It's a bit brief; compared to the previous round, the gap seems excessively large.

Simplicity is often the most powerful thing.

It belongs to the same type as martial arts bandages.

However, compared to martial arts bandages, this thing is at the pinnacle of the world level, and it's exactly the same as the swordsmanship from the previous round... Perhaps this is because archery itself is not very good compared to the previous two?

Of course, although martial arts bandages seem to be a whole level below this, their basic benchmark is Makoto Kyogoku.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the guy was already at this level.

Sano twirled the archery ring on his hand, but first focused his attention on Jin from the previous round: the boost to his aura attribute, the increase in his swordsmanship level, the indestructible nature of his weapon, and the final killing mode.

These are all things that Sano can still understand directly.

The only vague explanation is the concept of "being shrewd."

In fact, this statement appears quite frequently in various fields.

Generally speaking, the general idea is that if you have this, you can see things around you even without actually looking with your eyes... But Sano has never actually experienced anything similar.

So what exactly is this thing?

It remains to be seen.

After drawing the black sword from his backpack, Sano closed his eyes.

Ok?

A few seconds later, Sano opened his eyes... and he really was that kind of person.

Even without seeing the scene before you, you can still feel it, and it's even more comprehensive and clearer than seeing it with your eyes.

Sano wanted to describe the effect from a God's-eye view.

The images that appear in one's mind are merely the brain's own, instinctive response to the feedback received from the mind's perception, processing the feedback in a way that is more easily accepted by oneself.

It feels a bit awkward.

Hmm... It's something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words.

As for other aspects.

Sano thought for two seconds, then casually swung his sword a few times, but couldn't find anything particularly ingenious about it... If he had to say, it would be the way he applied his power.

It's not much different from the principles of martial arts.

For example, if Sano's original sword strike on a force gauge might have been 200, then with the enhancement of swordsmanship, it would be 1000.

Of course, it's not just about the force of the attack, but also the speed.

After all, strength is essentially equivalent to speed.

Other things may only be experienced in actual combat.

Then...

Sano held his sword across his chest, a thought flashing through his mind, and activated his killing mode.

In an instant, Sano, who should not have noticed anything amiss as the one whose aura was being amplified, could clearly feel his own brain.

He fell into an extremely excited state.

The black blade itself has a passive effect that increases the aura attribute by 100. After activating the killing mode, it adds another 300, for a total increase of 400.

In the past, when the bonus was only a little over a hundred points, Sano himself felt that it was very insignificant, but this time, with the accumulation of the number...

Sano was finally confirmed.

The aura attribute really does affect rationality, or rather, one's state.

Furthermore, in addition to this, the aura attribute not only affects the will attribute within the attribute, but also the three major attributes outside the attribute. That's right, just like when Sano uses the fox demon mask, he can adjust other people's positive emotions to give them power far beyond the ordinary, or he can adjust negative emotions to make people's condition decline. It's the same principle.

Because the difference wasn't significant, Sano initially thought it was just his imagination.

Or it could simply be due to fluctuations in one's own state of mind.

...But in this way, since the willpower attribute and the momentum attribute are related, the momentum attribute is now also linked to other attributes.

Does that mean that improving one's willpower attribute is also related to...?

Sano began his soul journey through the heavens.
