Chapter 46: Stealing Divine Power and Practicing Illusion
"The Slate of Prometheus"......
A silver-level special item, according to the description, is a very special holy relic, and its effect is very single, but it can also be said that it is powerful enough because of its singleness.
As the stone slab named after the most famous fire thief in mythology, it naturally has the ability to steal, but it is not theft in the conventional sense, but theft only for divine power - it is said that this piece of stone has the ability to steal.
The stone tablet can steal part of the god's power and seal the stolen power in the stone tablet, so that the person who controls the stone tablet can use this power...
However, only one power can be stolen at a time, and only one power can be sealed in the stone tablet at the same time.
Moreover, the side effects of the slate cannot be underestimated...or it cannot be said to be side effects. It is just that it is only responsible for stealing the power of God, but it is not responsible for the price that the user needs to pay for exercising the power of God, as well as the huge physical and mental burden.
Load.
In other words, ordinary people will probably die from serious injuries, and their bodies and minds will be destroyed from the inside like withered bones, and completely shattered due to backlash. But this also means that if they are not ordinary people, their body and mind are strong enough.
, the side effects are not obvious or almost non-existent.
After seeing clearly the system's annotations for the refreshed products, Gu Mo thought carefully and remembered what world this specialty came from - the god of disobedience who broke free from the shackles of myth, and the magician who fought against the god of disobedience.
The Demon King who defeated the gods in the sky and took away the supreme divine power...
The story called "Campione "God Killer"" is also a new myth of the magician sect known as the Supreme King...
However, the current holy relic called "The Slate of Prometheus" was actually refreshed by the system as a commodity. This was a development that he did not expect. He did not know what time period the copy was currently in.
Therefore, this holy relic was in an ownerless state, and he was somewhat curious about it.
Of course, curiosity is curiosity, and there are actually not many ideas to explore.
After all, I have just come back now. Not to mention that there are a lot of things in the real world that I have to deal with, even if I hang myself, I still have to take a breath.
It seems that it is not of much use to him... With this thought, he sighed softly, but then he suddenly thought of something, and he was stunned for a moment.
Speaking of which...
The mask that belongs to the God of Mischief...
The power contained in it is essentially the power of the gods, right? I have had the idea before, wondering whether the magic power of the mask can be transferred out... As expected, there are only misplaced treasures, and I almost didn't think of it.
, you will miss this opportunity!
After thinking about it quickly, Gu Mo made a decisive decision, and just in time to deduct all the remaining silver keys from his account, a rectangular slate appeared in his other hand, about the size of a B5 piece of paper.
It was badly worn, and there were black marks everywhere that looked like it had been scorched by fire.
However, the simple lines on the stone slab can still be vaguely discerned——
It was the outline of a man whose hands and feet were chained with iron chains. On the edge of the stone slab were patterns of birds with spread wings, the sun, the moon and stars.
Simple, heavy, mysterious...
As if the weight of history and the concept of myth were stacked together, Gu Mo felt a heavy feeling when he started it, not just in the physical sense.
"What are you...going to do?"
The witch frowned slightly, somewhat confused as to what the man was doing. She suddenly changed a mirror to look at it, and then took out a burnt stone slab with a strange smell.
"I'm doing an important experiment..." Gu Mo coughed lightly and said seriously, while placing the slate in his hand on the table, "But I'm not sure if it will work now. Once I mess up, there is a high probability that it will appear..."
I look very stupid, so I’ll tell you first..."
As he spoke, he pushed the stone slab over to the witch for inspection. It would be best if he could see something. His current skill level of mystical knowledge is still far behind, and he has not yet reached the point where he can understand other things by analogy.
Fragments of the system that have not been exposed to much.
Kikyo glanced at him, reached out to pick up the burnt stone slab, and stroked it with her slender fingertips.
She looked at this special instrument, carefully sensing the aura contained in it with her keen spiritual sense, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Gu Mo over there withdrew his gaze and continued browsing the remaining two items.
The second item is a notebook that looks obviously yellowed.
Although it was a text that he had never seen before, he could still read it without any difficulty. The title on the cover was "Making Inanimate Matter Move". According to the specific notes below, this was actually "a book about making things with magic."
Papers related to the Golem"...
Although it is not a skill badge that can be directly equipped and used, it is a complete knowledge and craft that requires learning to master. However, probably because it is valuable enough, the price is not determined by game currency, but by selling price.
A bronze key.
He glanced at his bronze keys, including the remaining unused parts, as well as the harvest this time. There are currently five of them... Generally speaking, bronze keys seem to be relatively easy to obtain, even
Before coming back, I talked to Dagouzi about the hidden secret of Tianshengya "Underworld Waning Moon Break", and I was able to get a bronze key for changing the plot.
So after a little thought, Gu Mo chose to buy this second item.
Putting the note in the inventory, he thought about the third item, which was an old-fashioned radio with a sense of age. According to the description, it was possible to receive strange signals in the universe and emit weird whispers.
It may lead to crazy knowledge...
It looked too weird, and the price actually required two silver keys, so after thinking about it, Gu Mo decisively passed on this dangerous choice.
After closing the specific content page, today's refreshed products ended here. Two of the three items were usable, which was pretty good. Then, Gu Mo took a look at the sign-in rewards. Today's sign-in rewards were also
The usual 2,000 game coins, he was not surprised at all, let alone disappointed.
He checked other pages by the way. He originally thought that there was no other new information, so he just searched it out of habit.
However, when he opened the database page, which could only be viewed during non-dungeon missions, he was a little surprised to find that he had unlocked a new achievement without knowing the truth.
…………
"Heart is better than matter (gold): Thoughts are the reflection of the world. You have discovered a small part of your inner potential. If you continue along the path you have chosen, you will be able to hone your consciousness into the greatest tool. Strengthen your spirit.
The effect of similar abilities further improves the ability to master any spiritual skills. (The main attribute is currently locked: Spirit)"
…………
From this point of view, it should be the achievement unlocked when the spiritual attributes truly break through the extraordinary boundaries, right?
Gu Mo thought thoughtfully, which means that when the true value of the mental attribute reaches 18 points, it should have been unlocked... However, the often fragmented prompts do not explain this part of the information, and the specific database page is different from
The system store is general and cannot be used in copy missions.
That's why he just now discovered that he had unlocked such a new achievement...
But this belated surprise is not bad, it is always a good thing, but I don’t know if other basic attributes will have similar additional enhancements when the real value reaches 18 points... Look at the last note,
Is it possible that the main attribute only gets such treatment?
Or should we say that the mental attribute adds the most points and has the highest value, so it is the main attribute? Then as long as there is another attribute that exceeds the mental attribute, the main attribute determined by the system will also change accordingly... Or if all the basic attributes are breakthroughs
What about the bucket numbers that are equal to each other after the boundary?
His mind was divergent, and he had many strange thoughts in an instant.
The only new unlock is this achievement.
As for that troublesome long-term achievement... it's still a bit short for the time being. After all, in the real world, he has only been away for four days. Naturally, it is impossible to say that there has been any rapid progress during this period, just how much.
Added some progress.
After a final check, Gu Mo turned off the system panel and glanced at the witch opposite. She was still quietly examining the sacred relic slate. She didn't know if she could see anything... and she didn't rush to remove the slate.
Taking it over, he lay back, his whole body sinking into the soft sofa.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, he took off the two demon knives from his waist and placed them horizontally on his knees.
Because they are all spiritual beings and have complete intellectual consciousness, even if they are judged as equipment props, they cannot be put into the inventory, so he can only carry them like this.
Taking out the manuscript that was supposed to be the mage's thesis that he just bought, Gu Mo also leaned on the sofa and started reading quietly in the living room filled with the faint scent of medicine... Although he had just returned, although
It is also the first time for a witch to come, but everything seems to be so natural.
Even the air became quiet.
If you think about it carefully, it seems understandable... This is not the first time that Kikyo has come to the world with a modern background. Even though there is a big difference between 1996 and the current year, and the changes are changing with each passing day, her understanding and understanding will not be understood.
Accept any obstacles.
So...
Just like the previous journey.
In the carriage, in the restaurant, on the slope of the river bank, in the snack street of the fireworks festival, the two of them walked side by side or sat opposite each other, quietly not talking, just enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the river bank, or listening to
Watch the bustle of the crowd at the party, or simply spend a leisurely afternoon in silence.
——Right now, the two of them are sitting quietly in the living room, each doing what they are doing...
——There is no essential difference from the scenes mentioned above.
Time just passed quietly in silence.
The wall clock on the wall in the living room made a monotonous ticking sound, as if the first night of Gu Mo's return had passed by unknowingly.
Compared with before, this return is much calmer...
There are no new urban legends or victims...emmmmmmm, at least not yet.
…………
……
The next day.
In the early morning, the sun has just risen.
Gu Mo stood up, stretched out, and moved his hands and feet a little, and his bones made a slight crackling sound. Although he read a book all night and didn't close his eyes all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was still
Looking full of energy.
When was the last time he slept? He couldn't remember clearly. Anyway, during this period of time, at most he just squinted and took a nap, and it wasn't because he felt tired, it was just to relax.
It’s just mind.
Looking at the witch sitting quietly opposite the sofa, flipping through the scrolls in her hands, Gu Mo also shrugged slightly helplessly.
He actually tidied up the empty room for Kikyo, but he didn't put it to use at all.
But it's okay, today I will start to decorate my own base camp... Thinking of this, Gu Mo couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, having a place that belongs completely to him is the dream of many people. When he was a child, he wanted to have it.
A secret base that belongs to my childhood. When I grow up, I just want to have a house of my own.
Most people are limited to this.
But he soared into the sky. Not long ago, he was still thinking about the house. Now, he has become the owner of the island.
Even among many rich people in the real world, private islands are not an easy thing to achieve, and purchasing an island is often accompanied by very complicated situations. It does not mean that after acquiring an island, you can completely follow your own ideas.
,Create a private kingdom of your own.
Of course, Gu Mo doesn't need to care about this... Even if he builds a Jurassic Park on Penglai Island, no one can use strict terms to restrict him from developing the island.
In his induction, Penglai Island also appeared in the real world following his return.
However, with the protection of the Time Barrier, it is equivalent to non-existence for outsiders.
"It's time to go out, Platycodon..."
Hearing the cheerful voice for some reason, the witch looked up at the man calmly and slowly put down the scroll in her hand. This was also a legacy of the old immortal. She had knowledge about the medicinal stones and elixir prescriptions in it.
Very interesting.
"Are you going to Penglai Island now?"
She adjusted her red skirt and asked softly, her tone calm.
To be honest, the atmosphere between the two of them is still a bit awkward and unnatural. It seems that since that night, the relationship has become more distant... But Gu Mo knows that this is normal, and the point is to make others successful.
After turning around, I can recover naturally as long as I have enough time.
"I'm going to Penglai Island...but before that-"
Gu Mo put his hand on his chin and carefully looked at the witch in front of him.
"We probably need to buy some things first. Kikyo, you also need to buy some new clothes, right?"
The witch frowned slightly and was about to say something, but the young man opposite seemed to know what she was going to say and took the lead and continued: "Believe me, this will be much more convenient, and whether it is used or not is different from whether it is used or not.
At least prepare."
She frowned and looked at him, pondering for a while, but Kikyo nodded slowly.
"That's good, let's go out now. There are quite a lot of things to do today..." Gu Mo smiled, reached out and picked up the slate and mask on the table, and put them into the inventory together. He tried it last night
After listening to it many times, the stone slab seems to react to the magic power in the mask, but it is limited to the extent of reaction for the time being.
This is also a good signal.
He plans to put more effort into thinking about it in the future, and there will always be a way. At least for now, he has seen the possibility of stealing divine power.
"About Penglai Island...how do you plan to deal with it?"
After walking out of the door, Kikyo was thinking about something and said at the same time.
"I have a lot of ideas, but I still need to take my time. Renovating such a big island won't happen overnight..." Gu Mo closed the door smoothly. He had forgotten where he put the key, but he was energetic.
Pushing the lock to lock it from the inside is just a matter of thought.
"If possible...can we keep the village by the lake?" Kikyo asked after considering, "I heard Miss Souji say once not long ago that she seemed to miss that village very much. Even though it is now abandoned, she still
I don’t want to see the village disappear completely..."
"Of course there is no problem with this, and I have no plans to raze the place...but there is no use in just keeping the village. There is no popularity and vitality there, and it will be a matter of time before it becomes deserted."
Gu Mo didn't have any objection to this, but he also felt that it was not that simple to retain the village.
If he didn't clean it up, the village by the lake would have become dilapidated over the years, mainly because it had been abandoned for a long time...
"And this era is no better than in ancient times. Otherwise, I really want to build a world on the island..." Gu Mo pondered, "If it were in ancient times, as long as it was like the old immortal who brought Taoyuan
If the rumors about the hometown are released, it will attract people to pursue them..."
But it’s impossible now. Who in the modern world would believe these things?
I don’t even believe it, let alone have the motivation to pursue it. I really want to find an isolated place to settle down.
Distrust from the bottom of my heart is one reason, and there is no need to escape famine, war and other more deadly problems, and there is no pressure that makes life a problem. This is another reason, which is doomed to spread rumors like Arcadia in modern times.
There is no market...
I don’t want to kidnap myself, and I don’t want any garbage to be brought to the island, so there is nothing I can do for the time being.
Thinking of this, Gu Mo also felt a little regretful. After all, just like when he managed Lushan City, simulated management is also a way of playing, and it can also produce profits, such as wood, food and other materials, and even iron cannons.
For standard equipment, the most intuitive thing is taxation, which is probably a source of steadily increasing game currency.
"Take your time..."
He spread his hands and said this——
"Or should I use illusion to simulate it? Although it is an illusion, she originally wanted to see things and feel emotions. I think this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone..."
He has been majoring in illusion during this period and has reached a bottleneck, and the note left by the old immortal just mentioned the relevant practice methods... So he wants to use illusion to simulate the existence of the entire village and make everything come alive.
When it operates, it feels like a truly living village.
There will definitely be a lot of mistakes and omissions in the early stage, but it is precisely because of this that we can discover our own shortcomings most intuitively and clearly, and check and fill in the gaps one by one.
When errors and omissions become fewer and fewer...
The changing village is becoming more and more vivid...
Until the fake can be confused with the real without any flaws, then the attainment of illusion will be complete.
