After some disassembling, Takatsuki found that item disassembly yielded very little. Even A-rank items only gave some materials. Fortunately, he only disassembled Blue Rose and stopped there. Of course, it might also be because this weapon was still a weapon made by mortals.
Character cards, on the other hand, mostly provided skills.
Takatsuki tossed several character cards he rarely used into the decomposer, gaining many useful items. Takatsuki also discovered that two skill scrolls of the same level could be combined into a higher-level scroll. An hour later, Takatsuki's backpack contained a series of scrolls.
Cooking LV4, Bartending LV3, Driving LV2, Gardening LV5, Bricklaying LV3, Electrician LV5—a series of life skills.
The useful skill cards were all decomposed from A-rank cards, and there were also some strange items.
[Talent Skill: Demonic Power LV3]
[Talent Skill: Demonic Power LV1]
[Skill: Hamon LV4]
[Skill: Nen LV1]
[Skill: Transformation Technique LV1]
[Skill: Snake Technique LV7]
[Magic Circuit] * 37
[Profession Scroll: Puppeteer]
After Takatsuki decomposed and combined two Zeppelin character cards, they became Hamon LV4. He used it without hesitation, instantly feeling his Hamon significantly strengthen. From then on, he would have powerful Hamon even without character cards.
The Ninja card turned into a Transformation Technique scroll, which could be used without chakra, but required a certain amount of special energy to be paid.
The two Evil Powers, one from Credo and one from the Demon Soldiers, were not used by Takatsuki, as Demonic Power sounded very dangerous.
He also directly learned Snake Technique, making his techniques more proficient.
Actually, the only two things he cared about were the profession scroll.
The system did not have a profession setting. After much hesitation, Takatsuki chose to use it. He immediately understood that this profession was not unique; it simply granted him the skill tree of that profession upon use.
The Puppeteer skill tree came from Dougli, the King of Puppets. After acquiring the Puppeteer profession, Takatsuki immediately gained the techniques and abilities to create basic puppets and extract life souls.
While Puppeteer could not provide him with any martial power enhancements, it was indeed a very unique development direction. Takatsuki recalled the origin of this Puppeteer and naturally understood how powerful it could become if truly developed.
Puppeteer originated from a sub-profession taught by Alice in DNF. Alice herself was a powerful puppeteer, yet she was a puppet controlled by the Apostle Hilder, completely unaware of it.
Takatsuki did not aspire to reach Hilder's level; he only hoped to use this method to create some useful helpers for himself.
Although he had the Shadowkhan, their strength was still not quite sufficient.
The other thing that concerned him was [Skill: Nen LV1]. Nen was something he had always wanted to acquire, but no matter how he explored, he couldn't successfully learn it.
After using the scroll, Takatsuki instantly felt a surge of power within him. The familiar sensation made him instantly realize that he had successfully acquired the Emission-type Nen.
He even knew its use without needing the common identification methods; he just knew it in his heart.
"[Close at Hand Yet Worlds Apart]"
This was the name Takatsuki gave his Nen. Perhaps in response to his inner needs, [Close at Hand Yet Worlds Apart] could be said to solve many of the troublesome things he currently found inconvenient.
The ability of [Close at Hand Yet Worlds Apart] was very simple: Takatsuki could imbue his Nen into an item, then use the item as a fixed point to open a portal. Passing through the portal would allow him to reach the designated location.
However, his current ability was still very weak; he could only open a portal large enough for a hand to pass through, and it had a distance limit of ten kilometers.
Takatsuki could actually imagine the derivation of this ability, stemming from his concern that borrowed items might be taken by others and become unrecoverable.
With this ability, he could always locate his items and open a portal to retrieve them directly.
Putting the other items back into his backpack, Takatsuki looked at his cluttered backpack and made a decision.
That was to go to the Dungeon tomorrow.
To collect the materials Fu Hua needed.
Moreover, with this Nen, he could even directly teleport some of his gains back to the base on the surface.
Although there was a distance limit, Takatsuki believed that this trip to the Dungeon, through deliberate training, should be able to improve his proficiency level in Nen.
Although he still had another method, which was to decompose Chrollo's character card to refresh the same skill and directly improve his own skill level.
However, after some consideration, he gave up on the idea.
Chrollo's ability was currently useless, but what if he went to the Hunter x Hunter world someday?
The ability to steal other people's Nen would be very powerful in that situation.
Therefore, decomposing a character card with potential for a mere bit of proficiency seemed like a loss.
Looking at the empty zero in the crystal area of his system, Takatsuki sighed.
Currently, he had no crystals at all; otherwise, he could have Kiana gamble for some luck for him.
After organizing everything, Takatsuki pulled the covers back up and fell asleep.
