Reborn in HXH: I Plundered Infinite Traits

"Good idea! What a truly excellent idea!"

Riku started laughing.

He even clapped for him!

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A talent!

This was the true talent needed in the new era.

Look at this, this is the real definition of getting something for nothing.

The man had absolutely no upfront costs, yet he came right out and made big money.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

A master, this was a true master.

But masters often easily ended up getting beaten to death by others.

"Then are you preparing cash or items?"

The smile on Bourbon's mouth was harder to suppress than the recoil of an AK.

So what if you're strong in a one-on-one?

Weren't you acting so arrogant spawn-camping the ship?

Aren't you kneeling before my venomous snakes right now?

No matter how strong you are, can you beat 10 venomous snakes? 100? 1000? Or even 10,000?!

You can't!

You're all just trash!

Bourbon was currently in an incredibly refreshing mood, while the Amori brothers were bitterly gathering their money with sour faces.

"Not bad, not bad! A very excellent suggestion. Your words have truly enlightened me! How about this? You three, three million Jenny. And you, Bourbon, right? Six million Jenny..."

Riku said with a smile.

"Not bad... you know your place, kid. You have a future ahead of you..."

Bourbon was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Riku to actually offer double.

"You might have misunderstood. I meant everyone present here owes me money."

"Hand over all my ID badges."

Riku held out his hand and said.

"..."

The entire area fell silent.

Ponzu watched, completely dumbfounded.

One must remember that the surroundings were densely packed with venomous snakes right now.

The Amori brothers were even more stunned in place. A full few seconds passed before they all burst into hearty laughter, clutching their stomachs.

"Hahaha! Is there something wrong with this kid's head? He actually wants us to pay him money."

"Three million Jenny? Do you really think my money just blows in with the wind?"

"We merely owe Lord Bourbon some money. What are you barking about here!?"

"Idiot!"

...

The three brothers couldn't help but hurl curses. Anyway, in their view right now, Riku was also on the victim's side.

Victims bullying victims—that should be fine, right?

Bourbon, on the other hand, upon hearing Riku's words, saw the smile on his face slowly vanish.

It morphed into a look of gloom and cruelty.

"Brat, this world isn't as beautiful as you think. Since you don't know how to appreciate a favor, then I'll just kill you and take it myself. It's the same thing!"

Bourbon grinned hideously and started playing his snake flute.

An eerie melody rang out.

Instantly, the surrounding venomous snakes seemed to be drawn by some sort of attraction, each one becoming agitated and aggressive.

"Protect yourself well, I'll be right back."

Riku instructed briefly.

He directly strode toward Bourbon with large steps.

Hiss hiss hiss—

The nearby venomous snakes, however, seemed to have gone red-eyed, swarming toward him in a frenzied attack.

"Idiot! Tens of thousands of venomous snakes... does he really think he's..."

The Amori brothers couldn't help but sneer.

They could already imagine the miserable scene of Riku being bitten to death by the venomous snakes.

There was no antivenom serum in this place. Once bitten, you could pretty much declare yourself dead.

But in the next second.

Their smiles got stuck in their throats.

Everyone's expression seemed to solidify, their eyes widening in shock.

Their faces were written with horror, astonishment, and sheer disbelief.

As those venomous snakes approached Riku's vicinity, before they even touched him, they began swaying one after another.

Then, as if drained of all their strength, they collapsed to the ground in rapid succession.

Pus oozed from their bodies.

Wherever Riku passed, these venomous snakes actually fell down one after another like wheat blowing in the wind.

[Ding! You killed a small venomous snake. Automatically plundering [Highly Toxic] (White). Automatically fusing.]

[Ding! You killed...]

A series of system notification chimes rang out in Riku's mind.

[Lethal Poison] (Gold)!

He had slaughtered fish on Whale Island for ten years, killing hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of fish every single day.

Many of the fish carried lethal poison.

Even more terrifying than these venomous snakes.

Even though they were only White-tier traits, they had been forcibly stacked all the way to Gold!

It was just that Riku usually really disliked using this ability.

Because anything killed by this ability couldn't even be eaten; it was a pure waste.

But right now...

Wasn't this like showing off a small knife in front of Guan Yu?

Like dancing on the ancestor's grave?

A bunch of trash with White-tier poison traits actually dared to act high and mighty in front of a dignified Gold-tier ancestor?

Riku hadn't specifically trained in any related poison arts.

He merely activated the ability, maintaining a colorless, odorless poison ring within a one-meter radius of himself.

As long as these venomous snakes touched it, they croaked on the spot.

"How... how could this be? This..."

Bourbon watched, completely dumbfounded.

He even rubbed his eyes, not daring to imagine this even in his dreams.

The venomous snakes he was so proud of were actually dying in droves showing signs of poisoning.

Could it be that this brat actually possessed a poison even more toxic than the venomous snakes?

"Kill him!! Kill him!!"

Bourbon shrieked in terror, the rhythm of his snake flute noticeably quickening.

Those venomous snakes seemed to hear the command, swarming madly toward Riku.

It looked like a black tide.

Or like a dense swarm of black ants moving things.

Riku was even completely covered by these venomous snakes!

"Trying to fight me!! Even though I don't know what bizarre method you used, with this many venomous snakes, even a single spit from each of them is enough to drown you! I bet even your bone dregs have been dissolved by poison by now!"

Bourbon gritted his teeth, the tense expression on his face finally relaxing.

This terrifying scene frightened the three brothers nearby quite heavily as well.

With this many venomous snakes, even a Pro Hunter would drop dead!

Behind him, Ponzu's eyes had already turned red as she nervously clenched her fists.

But they were disappointed.

Riku, wrapped in venomous snakes, was still advancing, and...

The venomous snakes that rushed around him were rapidly melting and falling off like snow, turning into puddles of pus as they hit the ground.

By the time Riku reached Bourbon.

He had already left behind a massive trail of venomous snake corpses.

The number of dead snakes was in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.

The three brothers were already staring in stupefied silence.

"I... I... I..."

Bourbon's eyes widened, his expression ugly to the extreme.

He never dreamed there would be a guy who could actually forcibly withstand so many venomous snakes and walk right up to him.

Could this guy actually be a poison man himself?

He still wanted to speak.

But he watched helplessly as the completely unharmed Riku casually brushed off the venomous snakes piled on his body.

Then reached out a hand to grab him.

Bourbon wanted to flee, but found that his body was completely out of his control.

Since when had he been poisoned!

"I have money! I have money, I'll pay six million Jenny, I—"

He shrieked in terror.

But his neck was already caught by Riku.

His face turned green at a visible speed, and then turned purple.

Finally, his body gradually dissolved into a puddle of thick liquid and dropped to the ground.

"Keep your money to spend in hell."

Riku let go, speaking without expression.
