Obtaining 10x rewards! Reincarnated into a novel as a side-character! Chapter 23: Testing the special eyes! A book?
Chapter 23
"Buy 2 get 1 free! Why stop at cluttering your life with just two unnecessary items when you can have a third for free, cluttering guaranteed!"
"Scram! I refuse to be fooled; you are secretly trying to make pay for the 3rd invisible item!?"
The shops were lively with custors bickering with the shop owners.
There were shops arranged neatly, as one would expect from a festive market in his previous world.
Oliver also realized sothing while strolling around.
Although the clan was famous for its ruthless and crazy exorcists, in the end, it was still a clan that had always stood up for humanity against the demons.
The normal people inside were happy and healthy, proper sanitation was maintained throughout the place.
'It looks like only those who belong to or are associated with the main family are the crazy ones...'
He wondered; there was not much specification in the novel when he was reading it.
It was just ntioned that the Mystic Purge Clan was extrely violent, ruthless, and vicious to their enemies, so much so they are feared even among humans.
But looking at the lively market situated in the heart of the clan made him doubt the words he had read.
He sighed and focused on what his purpose of the visit was.
In the next mont, his eyes changed; a mysterious glint passed through his athyst eyes slowly shifting its color to sothing else.
It shifted from a light greenish-blue to a bleached purple...
The world in his eyes changed; everything beca visible to him, whether hidden or not.
He looked at a passerby, but what he saw was not a human but a walking skeleton.
Oliver was able to vividly see all the 206 bones inside the person clearly; not only that, he could also see the amount of esper present inside the person's body.
Focusing more on his eyes, the scene once again changed, and although diluted, he was now seeing the person's blood vessels, their muscles, flesh beneath the skin.
Although the bony structure was no longer visible, he could see more complex details.
It was like layers in a body.
Suppose the atomic and cellular constitution of a person is considered layer 0; then cos the skeletal and tissue layer above it, which could be said to be layer 1. Above that should be the muscular and vascular where organs, vessels, and other major human body parts beco visible to him.
He decided not to view the layer 0 for the mont as he could feel the eyes were quite exhausting to use and he had a lot to use them for so he took it slow.
He did not have enough mastery and training to control the special eyes so he could only compromise at the mont and use them frugally.
For now, he limited himself to only see through when necessary, hopefully not needing him to use deeper than layer 2.
"Oh! Young man, would you like to buy sothing? I saw you standing here for so ti."
A voice interrupted his thoughts as he looked at the man besides him.
It was a man with a large bushy brown beard covering his face; he had black eyes and looked quite average.
From his clothing style, Oliver realized he was a shopkeeper; his clothing style was foreign and did not align with the clan's traditional style of clothes.
"That's right. I was looking for so things casually."
"Oh, then sir, would you like to co see my shop? I have plenty of good things for exorcists. From your refined attire, I am sure you are a distinguished exorcist yourself."
The bearded man started buttering up as he praised Oliver's style.
"What do you sell? Show ."
Since Oliver was here to buy so useful things, he decided to follow the man to his shop. There were many shop owners who would co out to attract custors.
Actually, after watching Nadia's humungous talent and getting beaten by his siblings, Oliver felt he was quite vulnerable.
Despite the system, he did not feel assured at all.
The system only provided him with rewards at random tis, which was not ideal. It would only provide the benefits when his target achieved a milestone in their training.
He had to use his own strength to counter threats he might face. So he must be prepared. He has already received a tenfold strength boost so he should at least train himself according to how an exorcist on the physical path would... for now at least.
And apart from the system, the best strength he had was his knowledge from the novel which was the knowledge about the future of this world.
What was the use of it all if he could not even use that knowledge to his advantage?
I may be a side character, but I am not that useless.
Creak.
The man took him to a decent looking shop which was likely his shop. The interior was quite spacious and looked clean.
"Here it is; buy anything you like. If you buy in bulk, I will even give you a good discount."
Looking around, he saw many things.
Firearms, cold weapons, dication, books, potions, exorcism tools, neatly arranged scrolls, and so random materials and substances placed in glass boxes.
This was an all-purpose store.
His pockets suddenly trembled a little...
Although he was one of the young masters of the clan, his budget was definitely not young master-like...
Of course, he had asked for so money from the clan a while ago and thus was allotted so amount by the supervising maid but he felt it was not enough at all.
From his knowledge, all the young heirs of the clan were showered in riches.
And not to ntion, Nadia, who could buy anything she wanted with just a word.
'Fuck! I feel like a beggar!'
He could not help but exclaim.
'I need to prepare a source of money for myself soon... I can't be dependent on the clan always.'
Oliver frowned; he had many ideas in his mind that he would be developing in the future, and many of his ideas required massive funds to even start.
He needed money.
The human world had adapted a common currency, which was called Neden.
For comparisons, a loaf of bread costs around 1 Neden.
'Sigh... money is always the problem.'
Oliver's scanned the shop items for sothing he might be interested in.
"What's that book about?"
He suddenly pointed at a book in a brownish cover.
The shop owner looked over with keen eyes and told,
"Ah, that book is a..."
