Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 63 - Dressing Up

Leaving Gaya back at his home, Michael rushed towards the thick forest near the sect premises. The forest was pitch black and filled with nothing but sounds of insects. With the help of his Environment Scanning skill, he was able to move through the forest without tumbling down.

After he came quite far into the forest. Michael stopped running and climbed the top of a tree using his grappling hook. The Naga girl took a liking to the Grappling hook as she reluctantly parted with it when he took it back.

Sitting on the branch, he used the Environment Scanning to make sure there's no one around him because he's going to put a dangerous but important plan on the motion.

"System, open the Gift Box" The blue box wrapped in red ribbons flashed across his eyes, and four cards jumped out from the box.

"Two Spell learners, Special Fertilizer," he read the first two cards when his gaze landed on the third card, he grinned ear to ear.

"The bow of Legolas" the dark wooden bow looked nothing extraordinary from the outside look but Michael knew this bow killed many powerful orcs in the Lord of the Rings movies.

[Ding! The Host must be at least 70% proficient in Archery to use the bow]

Just as he was grinning at the bow and imagining himself running around firing a volley of arrows upon his enemies, the system bombarded him with a surprise warning.

"Seriously?! Let me guess, I need to buy something from you"

[Duh!]

[Yes]

He could swear he heard a snarky reply from the system before the familiar robotic voice.

"How much?"

[The System recommends the host to buy the Archery pack which contains special types of arrows and Book of Archery. By using the Book of Archery, the host will become 80% proficient in all long-ranged weapons]

"It does sound cool but give me the price first"

[24999 Badass points only!]

"The fuck! Why don't you round up to 25k? You sound more and more like the tv ads, System" First of all, Michael knew he has not enough points to buy the Archery pack, and second, even if he does, he wouldn't buy the pack at the moment because he needed the Badass points to accomplish more significant tasks.

Putting the Bow in his storage, he stared at the fourth and final item he got from the gift box. The card had two swords on the surface as he began to read the description.

"The host will be able to dual wield swords and gain 70% proficiency in sword mastery" he breathed out as his face brimmed with a smile for he was filled with glee.

"I always wanted to fight using swords, it seems I got my wish. Hey System, does this skill come with swords?"

[No, The host have to buy the swords separately]

"Alright, my plan does require a new set of skills, System, list all the swords I can buy between 5000 to 8000 badass points"

[...] he waited for a few seconds and the system showed him nothing, not a single sword.

[The system recommends the host not to be stingy with the badass points]

"Stingy? Do you know how hard it is to earn XP and Badass points without pissing off powerful people?. Doesn't matter, how much are the least expensive swords you got?"

[10,000 Badass points]

"Does it come with the pair or do I have to buy another one to dual wield?"

[Yes, the Host has to buy two swords if you wish to dual wield] After hearing the System, he wanted to shout at the system but soon, he realized he doesn't always depend on the system to accomplish things.

"System, I can use any two swords right?"

[Yes, but the system recommends the host to buy swords from the store]

"And why is that?"

[The items brought from the system store are unique and the host will not find them in the world. Plus, the items in the store are superior in quality]

"I know system, but I have already taken a loan. So I must spend each point very carefully and I need badass points to buy something else for my grand plan"

[What is that host?] Michael took a deep breath and asked the system,

"System, I need a new suit, I'm applying the following filters. The suit must be black and under 8000 badass points"

[Does the host wish the suit to have a special ability? Special ability suits cost more]

"if there's a suit with special ability under 8000, I'll be glad"

[The Suit with special ability starts on 20,000 Badass points]

"Then no thanks, I settle for suits with no special abilities for now"

The system started to search for the suits as he saw the loading icon before his eyes. He eagerly waited for the system to come up with the new suit. A few moments after, three iconic suits appeared before him. The Zorro costume, the X Men suit from the Xmen Last standing, and the Nightwing Suit from the Titans.

"Although I like zorro, it doesn't suit the purpose, pun intended" he put away the Zorro costume and stared at the Xmen suit and the Nightwing suit. Compared to the Xmen suit, the Nightwing suit seemed more refined and cool. The only thing that irked him was the blue Nightwing logo on the center and the blue linings on the armor.

"Let's put on the other items and see which one looks intimidating. System, do you have the cape of Doctor Doom?" Michael wished the system to say yes as Doctor Doom was one of his favorite Marvel characters. He always wanted to dress as Doctor Doom and go trick or treat like normal kids when he was little but until he reached this world, he didn't have much chance to enjoy his life to the fullest.

[The black colored Doctor Victor Von Doom cape will cost the host 1000 Badass points]

"Good! put the cape on both the suits, I need to preview before finalizing my purchase" he couldn't hold his excitement. The System luckily cost him nothing to put the cape on the suits, therefore, he was able to design what kind of suit he needs without worry about the Badass points.

With Doctor Doom's cape and hood, the Nightwing suit looked way better than the Xmen suit. Looking at the Nightwing suit, he almost decided to go on with this suit but he still had to buy one important piece to finalize his new suit.

"System, give me the Black mask from the Birds of Prey film"

[500 badass points]

"Thank god, I thought it's going to cost more. System, show me how I would look in both suits" In a flash of time, two naked bodies appeared before him and then, then the System put the Xmen suit and the Nightwing suit on him. Just like his previous thought, when the cape and hood added, the latter looked way better in his opinion. As the last piece, the Black mask covered his face.

"Wow," the Black skull mask really looked intimidating under the hood and perfectly suited for his purpose which was to inflict fear into his enemies and spread his Legend.

Under the two suits, the cost of buying them emerged. The X Men suit surprisingly cost 7500 with the cape and Black mask while the Nightwing suit cost was 7000 badass points.

"System, I'll buy the Nightwing armor and after that, I need four more items"

[Does the host wish to equip the suit of armor now?]

"Not yet, I need Roc Feather, Grim Aconite, Ent Bark, and black metallic spray paint"

[Does the Host wish to brew the Fear potion?] He wouldn't have thought it would be possible for him to create something similar to the fear toxin that Scarecrow used back on earth. Although Michael learned chemistry as a part of his training, he was not a master in Chemistry. However, this changed when he learned the Book of Alchemy. After becoming 5Star Alchemist, he knew the properties of a vast amount of herbs and plants in this world, as well as which can be used to concoct pills or brew potions.

With this knowledge, he was able to figure out the formula to a potion that would induce fear.

"Yes"

[800 Badass points]

"I'll take them" After buying everything he needed, he exited the system and started to work on the suit. He first painted the Blue Nightwing logo with his metallic black spray paint and then he painted everything that had blue with the help of his Alchemy flame.

"Shit, I have to look for a Batcave. Working on top of a tree branch is not a straightforward thing"
