Slash the Scarlet Eyes: Start with a Starburst Air Stream Slash Chapter 004

After ten-odd minutes…

Lin Yu’s body gradually adapted to the scene, and the vomiting and rejection reactions no longer occurred.

“Finally recovered. If I threw up any more, I might have transmigrated again.”

Lin Yu lay on the ground and said, as he also opened the lucky bag in his mind. This was the reward he got for killing those five perverts.

[Ding! Obtained one ‘Six-Dimensional Pill’: A perfect elixir refined by a great powerful being, capable of enhancing the host’s strength, speed, defense, physical functions, recovery ability, and kidney ability to a certain extent.]

[Usage: Requires someone else to orally administer it to you. (If not needed, you can also take it yourself)]

“This golden finger is really full of dark humor. Putting everything else aside, this kidney ability is truly to my liking.”

After Lin Yu opened the lucky bag, a snow-white pill appeared in his mind. With a thought, the pill appeared in his palm.

He chose to swallow the Six-Dimensional Pill in one go. A warm current instantly surged through his entire body, his muscles trembled slightly, and a faint tingling sensation came from his bones.

“Invigorating! This is more satisfying than a foot massage at a bathhouse.”

His originally somewhat weak body instantly recovered to full health, and all discomfort disappeared at once.

[Ding! Host’s strength has successfully reached Beast-level. The basic combat power division of this world has been unfolded.]

[Normal Beast-level: Usually based on wild beasts in the forest, possessing the strength to deal with ordinary people, but can still be eliminated by ordinary weapons such as muskets, knives, and swords.]

[Tier 3 Danger Beast: Possesses strength far exceeding that of normal Beast-level. Ordinary muskets, cold weapons, etc., are already difficult to eliminate them.]

[Tier 2 Danger Beast: Ordinary weapons are no longer effective; only cultivators of a certain strength can eliminate them.]

[Tier 1 Danger Beast: A nightmare for ordinary people, and also the strength stage that most cultivators can reach.]

[Superior Danger Beast: The upper limit for most cultivators. Some weaker Teigu users are also at this level.]

[Special Danger Beast: Most Teigu users are at this stage. Only cultivators and Teigu users of the same or higher level can eliminate them.]

[Super Danger Beast: Ordinary armies of ten thousand people are no longer able to subjugate them. Only powerful Teigu users can eliminate them.]

[Legendary Danger Beast: Cannot be measured by numbers. Even an army of millions cannot contend with them. Their lifespan is generally long, and every small part of their body can be used to create powerful Teigu. They are ceiling-level combat power.]

“What the heck? Looking at it this way, I’ve only just entered the first stage? But during the time ‘Starburst Stream’ is active, I should be able to reach Tier 1 or 2, right?”

Lin Yu sat up and pondered, but always felt something was off. The combat power description given by this golden finger felt strange, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

“Hmm… Danger Beast, Teigu user… Wait! Isn’t this the world of ‘Akame ga Kill’ that I only watched the opening song of?”

Lin Yu reacted at this moment. Isn’t this the healing masterpiece that netizens always recommended when he was browsing videos? Good heavens, he didn’t expect to come to this world. It seems this journey will be very exciting. Look, a beautiful girl appeared at the beginning. It seems these netizens are quite honest and didn’t lie.

He stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and glanced at the cold corpses of the soldiers on the ground, muttering in a low voice, “These guys should have something valuable on them…” Then he squatted down and began to search the soldiers’ bodies.

Sayo stood by, arms crossed, watching Lin Yu’s actions, a slight smile playing on her lips: “You’re quite good at managing your finances.”

Lin Yu didn’t even lift his head, searching as he spoke, “I’m poor~, I don’t have anything on me. I can’t let you spend money on me, can I?”

Sayo chuckled softly, saying nothing more.

Before long, Lin Yu had searched out one gold coin and five silver coins from the soldiers: “This is really bizarre, are these gold and silver coins evenly distributed? Not even a single extra one?”

As for their equipment and weapons, he didn’t want them. After all, they were standard imperial soldier equipment; taking them would be equivalent to carrying a wanted poster.

He tucked the coins into his pocket, stood up, and said to Sayo, “Alright, where do we go next?”

Sayo said, “I have another companion nearby. His name is Ieyasu. We’ll go meet up with him, and then head to the Imperial Capital together.”

“Ieyasu?”

“Yes,” Sayo replied, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes. “He’s from the same village as me. Our goal this time is to earn money and then return to our village to save our suffering fellow villagers.”

Lin Yu felt a touch of emotion upon hearing this: “Is your village… very poor?”

Sayo’s eyes dimmed, and she whispered, “Yes. Our village is located on the border of the Empire, with limited resources. Coupled with heavy imperial taxes, villagers often don’t have enough to eat, and people starve to death every year, especially in winter… We don’t want to see such tragedies happen again.”

Lin Yu was silent for a moment. Isn’t this a healing anime? Why is it doing this? Is it sick?

“In that case, your village will be left to me. I will help you completely escape this predicament.”

He struck a strange pose with one hand outstretched, as if it was time to display the spirit of a Red Scarf.

Sayo chuckled: “You’re a strange one, but thank you. We’ll save our village ourselves.”

[Ding! Target character Sayo’s goodwill has reached 12%. Please continue to work hard.]

As Sayo led Lin Yu forward, not long after, they saw a black-haired, energetic young man with slightly disheveled hair in a forest. He was Ieyasu.

He was resting against a large tree. Seeing Sayo and Lin Yu approach, he immediately stood up, revealing a sunny smile.

“Sayo! You’re finally back!” Ieyasu waved, then his gaze fell on Lin Yu, “Who is this?”

“His name is Lin Yu, a companion I met on the way,” Sayo briefly introduced. “He was targeted by a group of soldiers, and I saved him. His goal is the same as ours: to go to the Imperial Capital.”

Ieyasu nodded, enthusiastically patting Lin Yu’s shoulder: “Welcome aboard! I’m Ieyasu, and from now on, we’re partners!”

[Ding! Detected that target character Ieyasu’s goodwill towards the host has reached 15%. Please continue to work hard.]

Lin Yu felt Ieyasu’s enthusiasm and said a little shyly, “Okay… okay.”

As the three successfully met up, they headed towards the Imperial Capital. Along the way, Sayo also brought up their other village companion to Lin Yu.

“We originally had another companion, named Tatsumi,” Sayo’s tone carried a hint of worry. “But due to a bandit attack, we were forced to separate. I hope he’s safe and sound.”

“Another companion? Named Tatsumi, right? Wait! Named Tatsumi!!!”

Lin Yu’s heart jolted when he heard the name “Tatsumi,” and his voice couldn’t help but get louder. He remembered that in the world of ‘Akame ga Kill,’ Tatsumi seemed to be the male protagonist? But he hadn’t seen these two childhood friends in the short videos?

“Wh-What’s wrong, Lin Yu?”

“Yeah, why did you suddenly shout?”

Sayo and Ieyasu were also startled by Lin Yu’s reaction. Was it just because he said Tatsumi’s name?

“N-No, I want to ask again, is Tatsumi really your companion?”

Lin Yu asked cautiously. He seemed to have been deceived by a bunch of scoundrels.

“Of course, we grew up together as childhood friends.” Ieyasu put an arm around Lin Yu and laughed, “Seeing you say that, are you envious of our relationship? It’s okay, maybe we’ll be really good brothers in the future too.”

[Ding! Target character Ieyasu’s goodwill has reached 25%. Please continue to work hard, Host.]

Feeling Ieyasu’s enthusiastic goodwill, Lin Yu nodded slightly, but his heart was somewhat conflicted. He hadn’t seen Sayo and Ieyasu in the short videos he watched, either because they were particularly unpopular and no one edited them, or because they had already been “killed off” before the official start of the plot…
