Only I Know the Plot of the Anime World - Chapter 17
According to the plot, the essence of the Healing Technique (Heal) lies in its derivative skills.
Imitation: Copy the target’s skills and combat experience.
Plunder: Steal the target’s experience points and chakra.
Enhance: Strengthen items and tools.
Deteriorate: Inflict multiple negative statuses.
Of course, the Reincarnation Space wouldn’t mirror the anime exactly, with specifics differing, such as absorbing chakra becoming absorbing mental strength.
However, the potential of the Healing Technique (Heal) is undeniable, making it one of the top B-class skills.
The key point is that without personal experience, people wouldn’t realize this potential.
Anyone seeing a skill requiring sacrificing their health to heal others would instinctively reject it.
Moreover, upgrading a B-class skill is immensely costly; even large teams wouldn’t allow Reincarnators such indulgence.
Even with ample plot points, investments usually go into more straightforward skills, like a priest’s holy word or an alchemist’s potion—making—these are the main healing methods for Reincarnator teams.
Judging by the seller’s actions, they were likely a solo player, thus unlikely to risk learning a hard-earned B-class skill.
Reincarnation Space has countless skills, with thousands in small worlds worth cataloging.
The skill count can be overwhelming, especially in game-like worlds such as Sword Art Online, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, So I’m a Spider, So What?, and The Rising of the Shield Hero.
Selling unneeded items for more valuable ones is the proper path, as blind attempts often end poorly.
This explains why a B-class healing skill hadn’t sold in two mission cycles.
To better understand the market, Sasuke informed several buyers about his interest.
The unanimous response was a caution against trading for the B-class skill.
Sasuke learned that the seller was infamous in the lower-difficulty worlds due to their team’s recent severe defeat.
Eighteen veteran Reincarnators entered the “Redo of Healer” storyline, with only one survivor returning.
Trading all lives for a poorly effective healing skill often becomes a laughingstock among Reincarnators—a typical negative example.
Despite the owner’s hype about its upgraded power, the skill remained undesirable.
Powerful? Healing-wise, it couldn’t match a priest’s Holy Word. For support, a magician was the expert. To change item states, an alchemist’s skills were far superior.
It had a poor individual upgrade path and low team utility, awkwardly placing the Healing Technique (Heal).
An E-class skill costs 50 plot points, with each upgrade requiring the same amount.
A B-class skill costs 200 plot points to learn.
Level 2 costs 400 plot points, and Level 3 costs 600, escalating horrifically.
Ordinary Reincarnators might not level up after one storyline, making solo players unable to afford it.
Even Sasuke felt unsure, but his understanding of the skill far exceeded others. He had repeatedly admired the protagonist of the storyline.
A hindrance to Reincarnator teams, but in Sasuke’s hands, it could become versatile, handling various plot scenarios and healing summons.
As for health consumption, Sasuke possessed the “Steel Heart” trait, effectively making him a large mobile blood bank and eliminating the worry of health depletion.
Where others shunned it, Sasuke embraced it.
He couldn’t reveal his interest outright, needing to squeeze the price hard.
Soon, Sasuke contacted the seller, inviting him to his space.
[ID 10085 has entered your private space.]
The door opened, and a somber-looking man entered. He sat down and bluntly stated, “Your price can’t be too outrageous. I can’t pay an extra 2000 plot points.”
Indeed, Sasuke had demanded an additional 2000 plot points on top of the item trade.
It was not just a high price; it was like an outrageous demand from a greedy mother-in-law.
The man naturally refused and suggested canceling the deal if Sasuke insisted.
Despite the harsh words, the man’s attitude hinted at his need—desperation visible in his eyes.
Waving for calm, Sasuke smiled and proposed a second deal: “If I’m not mistaken, you must have a lot of gear you can’t fully use.”
The man snorted, recognizing his “reputation” played a role.
Knowing his team’s fate meant Sasuke was informed and tough to fool. If plot points weren’t an option, gear would do.
The team’s annihilation likely left the man with equipment, even if he couldn’t use most of it.
Without such support, the man might not have survived two plot worlds post-catastrophe.
Gear was plentiful, but potions with unique traits were rare, making the man determined to acquire it.
“This is my final offer.”
The man sold most items to survive; if Sasuke refused, the trade would pause.

This fine weapon’s damage wasn’t low; a critical hit could deal over twenty points.
If Sasuke had this in the previous world, dealing with ordinary giants wouldn’t require close combat.
“I like the name Black Star.”
After the transaction was completed, Sasuke gained a desired skill scroll and a decent handgun, making it worthwhile. Now, he only needed plot points to learn shooting skills.
