When Ash, Sonia, and Diya were looking at each other in the sports car, being chased by thousands of troops from the Heroic Soul Legion behind them, they couldn't help but wonder: How did it get to this point?
Half an hour ago, Ash discovered a golden area labeled "Don't miss it if you pass by" through the map of the virtual world. They went in and found a small cafe inside, with three books on the table according to the number of people.
Books and three cups of coffee.
Ash originally thought it was a "Question and Answer of Destiny", but after opening the book, he found that it was not, but a virtual realm mechanism that was even more loved and hated - "The Chaotic Shopping Book of Blessing and Curse"!
"Congratulations to every magician who has opened this book. Your luck is unparalleled. Your destiny is about to change. You are light, you are electricity, and you are the myth of the future!"
"This book is compiled by a 'drama poet'..., please remember this name, because... is the narrator of fate, holds the power of contradictions, directs countless joys and sorrows, and witnesses the separation and separation of the world."
"The billions of magicians in the virtual realm are not as good as...half!"
"This book needs to comply with the following purchase rules——"
"①Every blessing and curse has a price. Every time you purchase a blessing, you will inevitably receive a random curse of the same price, and vice versa. It's an equivalent exchange."
"②The blessings and curses chosen by the magician will not cancel each other out. You can eat shit and poop, and you can eat shit and poop, but eating rice and poop together will not cancel out the excretion."
"③ Random curses only exist during the virtual realm and will not affect the reality; random blessings only exist during the real world and will not affect the virtual realm."
"④After opening this book, you must buy at least one blessing/curse, but there is no upper limit on shopping. Don't miss it if you pass by."
"⑤As a shopping tax, this book will extract the life experience of the magician to generate new blessings/curses. There are only two things in life that are inevitable, eating and paying taxes."
"Please note, don't think that if you choose all the powerful blessings, you can find a loophole to resist the curse. Maybe you will get the curse of 'thinking will turn to stone' as soon as you go out and turn into a statue directly. If you choose 'Immune to petrification'
'If you give me a blessing, then the curse may turn into 'thinking will turn you into a lesbian'. In short, whoever dares to take advantage of me, I will kill his whole family."
"But don't be too afraid, the 'Drama Poet'... is not a big evil person. This is a benefit for the younger generations. So for the magicians who open this book for the first time, if your curse points ≦ 10, then your random
The curse will end in this virtual realm exploration; if your blessing points are ≦10, then your purchase curse will end within 72 hours in reality."
It’s you again, the nameless drama poet brother!
This is the only strange magician that Ya Xiu and others know so far, who can leave a special mechanism in the virtual world. The 'Legendary Library' that Ya Xiu and Diya encountered last time was also written by him. Unfortunately, Sonia that day
I wrote a note asking for leave at night but didn't come.
Later, Ash asked if the Time Continent had many special mechanisms left by legendary magicians. The village girl shook her head with certainty, saying that the drama poet was indeed the only magician who left mechanisms in the Time Continent.
Although the dramatic poet is indeed very powerful, what is really great about him is that he can return to the time continent. After all, the magicians who can affect the virtual realm are at least legendary in their beginnings, and even demigod angels who control the gods, but these powerful
It is extremely difficult to return to the novice village at the bottom of the virtual realm.
This is also the protection mechanism of the virtual realm. Otherwise, the emergence of a strong man who likes to cut seedlings would be enough to annihilate the new magicians all over the world.
The drama poet can leave so many mechanisms in the time continent, which shows that he can almost freely enter and exit the second level of the virtual realm, at least at a very low cost. Therefore, the magicians are very curious about what kind of evil the drama poet has done, and he can even get into the world without even his name.
All were completely erased.
However, the mechanisms he left behind are not all good. For example, "The Chaos Shopping Book of Blessings and Curses" fully reflects his bad taste. It makes people lament that letting the drama poet continue to live will only make rice more expensive.
Ash and others opened the shopping book and saw a dazzling array of options:
Physique: "Sudden death at any time +30, extremely weak +10, immune to all diseases -10, rebirth of broken limbs -30"
Wisdom: "Can't hide from the rain +30, mentally retarded +10, clever and resourceful -10, insight into the truth -30"
Luck: "Choke to death when drinking water +30, poop without paper +10, wish come true -10, fate's favor -30"
Charm: "Hateful to gods and ghosts +30, polluted air +10, loved by everyone -10, disaster to all races -30"
This is still a relatively conventional option for the various attributes of the magician, and there are more weird blessings/curses——
"Beautiful Life-10: Everyone is beautiful in your opinion, everything is good in your opinion, all scenery is worth stopping at, and you are not happy every day."
"Cynical +10: Even if you see other people breathing, you will feel that the world is hopeless."
"Listen to the Heart-10: You can vaguely hear the voices of others."
"Honesty +10: If everyone in a place is honest, will it be heaven or hell?"
"Perspective Fantasy-10: You can't really see through, but you can definitely see what you want to see."
"Deathly Danger Sense-10: When you encounter danger, you will feel that time slows down. The more dangerous it is, the greater the degree of time slowing down."
"Time confusion +30: Your sense of time is completely confused. Today is the 3rd, tomorrow is the 9th, and yesterday was the 21st, haha."
"Foresee Death-30: You can see how you die."
This is a blessing/blessing. Although it is strange, it is still understandable. However, there are many others that you don’t know how to classify at all——
"Childhood Sweetheart-10: Within three days, a childhood sweetheart will come to you. His strength is similar to yours, but your relationship is just that of friends."
"Lover-30: Within three days, someone who is very suitable for your sexual preferences will appear. His strength is similar to yours, but he will only like you in this life."
"Enemy +10: Within three days, an enemy who hates you will appear. His strength is similar to yours. He will unite all those who hate you to deal with you."
"Chat channel-30: You will join the chat channel created by the drama poet and chat with the people in it anytime and anywhere."
"Fish-Slaying Dragon-10: Every time you enter the virtual realm, there will be a Fish-Slaying Dragon next to you that is completely obedient to your orders and can be driven by you."
"Random Race +10: You will be converted to other random races."
"Beauties don't know how to poop -10: Transfer all your excrement to another person."
"What the hell is this..." Ash's head hurt when he saw it: "Since the excrement has been transferred, why not transfer it to the sewer, but stuff it into another person's large intestine!?"
Diya said: "Maybe excretion is a sign of respect for poop, and viewers, why do you care about this? Do you want to choose?"
"It is said that people spend half an hour every day excreting... If this time can be saved..." Ya Xiu pondered: "But what do childhood sweethearts and lovers mean? If I choose a lover, someone who likes me will appear out of thin air.
People?"
"It's also possible that Sword Lady has come to you." Diya muttered in a very low voice.
"What?"
"I'm talking about why Sword Girl didn't speak." Diya looked at Sonia, who was looking at the shopping book blankly, like a village girl blinded by jewelry, "Jian Ji, did you find anything?
"
"Sincerely." Sonia murmured softly.
"What?"
"Sincerity!" Sonia raised her head and looked at Ash: "Blessings and curses are just superficial, they are essentially the same as the sincerity ritual!"
Yaxiu was startled for a moment, and then he realized something. He looked at the shopping book carefully, only Diya looked confused - what kind of encrypted communication are you two bastards doing?
The village girl also realized that she had subconsciously exposed her too-intimacy attitude. She could not get too close to the viewer, so she stayed close to the witch and explained the sincerity ritual to her.
The Ceremony of Honesty is the summoning ritual that Ash forced to perform in order for Sword Princess to obtain the Spirit of Honesty. During that time, Sword Princess could only tell the truth until the Spirit of Honesty was summoned. If you think about it carefully, isn't this the same as
Is the "honesty" curse in the shopping book exactly the same?
According to this logic, we can find that most of the blessings/curses that appear in shopping books are actually about the summoning rituals of magic spirits!
"Wait a minute." Diya immediately reacted: "What about foreseeing death, time confusion and listening to the heart -"
"They are the magical spirit summoning rituals of the prophecy faction, the time faction and the spiritual faction respectively." Ya Xiu said: "Beautiful life and cynicism should also be related to the spiritual faction. There is a high probability that the clairvoyant fantasy will summon the detection magical spirit... It turns out that
In this way, the real use of the shopping book is to quickly master a magic school!"
"But what do childhood sweethearts, lovers, and enemies mean?"
"I can probably guess your enemies." Sonia pondered: "Your enemies will connect all the people who hate you... In other words, as long as you keep an eye on your enemies, you will know who is dissatisfied with you."
"Random races are very useful." Diya said suddenly.
"Why?" Ya Xiu was a little surprised: "I still feel quite happy to be a human being."
"Of course it won't work if it's permanent, but if it only lasts for 72 hours, it's equivalent to a rare experience." Sonia explained: "Except for humans, other intelligent races basically have their own magic factions that they are good at, and some
Special factions cannot be entered by non-specified races. For example, the Gluttony faction exclusive to ogres may be able to enter within 72 hours."
"But the most important ones are the three major factions of prophecy, destiny, and truth." Diya said seriously: "It is almost impossible to get started with these three factions on your own. You must rely on various adventures to get the appreciation of the virtual realm... And now, adventures
It is before our eyes: insight into truth, destiny's grace, and the foreseeing of death."
As long as you choose these blessings, you will definitely be able to master the most mysterious and powerful magic factions.
"But their points are all 30 points." Ash spread his hands: "If we choose this, we won't be able to trigger the benefits of the drama poet."
Purchasing a blessing will increase the curse points of '-', and purchasing a curse will increase the blessing points of '+'. If it is the first purchase and the points are within 10 points, the drama poet will compress the duration of the curse into a virtual exploration or
Within 72 hours, the magicians made a lot of money.
But if it exceeds 10 points, the drama poet will not help, and the curse given by the shopping book will become permanent. The price is too high, just like choosing the wrong major and not being able to change it, and you have to be in ashes for the rest of your life.
It would be okay if it was a curse like 'weak and weak', but if it were a permanent 'random race'... it would not be impossible to randomly get a Veela, but if you randomly get an ogre, you can really start your life over again. And Ash is a boy.
, he is 100% random and less than a Veela, at most he is an elf.
"Wait a minute, why does the chat channel also require 30 curse points?" Diya asked strangely: "Is this some kind of rare magic spirit summoning ceremony?"
"The chat channel itself is actually worthless, but the people in it are valuable." Ya Xiu said: "Maybe there are gods, angels, and legendary magicians holding gatherings in it every week to exchange information items?"
