When do people run the fastest? When wages are paid.
Well, when Lu Ping'an knew that he had something good to pick up early in the morning, he ran to Guda early the next morning.
The campus was still as calm as before, and there were no twists and turns. He found the person he agreed to and received his silver charm.
Then, he was frightened.
[Thompson's Midnight Spoon (Silver Middle Spell)]
[Features: A light silver aluminum spoon with a total length of 45 cm and a spoon head diameter of 12 cm. There is some light red rust on it, and there is a slight fishy smell when you get closer. 】
[On one side of the spoon handle, the dark inscription 'AD1912.7.3, DWTOWN' marks its production time and factory, while on the other side, 'Margaret, Thompson' is engraved with a carving knife, hinting at the original owner's love for it. 】
[Margery Thompson was once a beauty pageant runner-up and a third-rate TV star. She was beautiful when she was young but had no acting skills to match her appearance. After being slightly popular for a while, she experienced the hustle and bustle of life and finally ended up somewhere.
The town becomes a seemingly calm and gentle lady living alone.】
[But the strange thing is that her neighbors and friends were surprised to find that this lady seemed to have been forgotten by time and always looked so young and energetic. Whenever asked, she also told others with interest
She introduced her vegetarian diet and beauty experience, and took the opportunity to recommend her beauty salon. But one day, a playful child kicked his football into her house at night, and was stupid enough to sneak over the wall to get it.
...]
['There is only one monster in that house, an old witch who drinks human blood!' After the frightened little boy said these words to his mother, he fell into a persistent high fever the next day. And Thompson also faced
Here comes the angry crowds of the new witch-hunting era, and her flaming apocalypse.]
[When everything ended, people were surprised to find that the disappearance rate of young women in the town was astonishingly high. A large amount of golden, black, and red hair was also found in the kitchen of Ms. Margery’s house, but the body was never found.
, not even a piece of flesh and blood.】
[In the end, the collector acquired the cursed object, but what is even weirder is that next to the holder of the spoon, the same female murder case happened as expected. Such things happened continuously as the holder changed.
Three times until a secret keeper found it...]
[Function 1: Time Cooking (Silver Middle): Boil young limbs in a large pot and stir them with a spoon for a minimum of fifteen minutes. Depending on the quality of the materials, a small amount of 'Youth's Essence' will be obtained.
And a lot of 'looking back with regret'.]
[Regret of looking back (derivative of a low-level silver curse): A poison that contains 'pain' and 'aging'. The person who takes it, and even those who come into contact with it, will quickly age in pain. 】
[The fragrance of youth (derivative of the lower silver curse): The extracted youth essence will restore a certain physical age after taking it. The regression time and effect duration will be determined based on the amount used, but the maximum duration will not exceed
24 hours. Note: This item has excessive stimulant effects, please use with caution.】
Is this the silver charm? Compared with it, what kind of garbage was the previous black iron charm!
These two "derivatives", "youth medicine" aside, "aging medicine" are deadly enchantments that can be applied and poisoned.
While Lu Ping'an was shocked by this thing, he realized that this was only one side of its ability.
[Function 2, Jealousy's Swipe (Silver Center): When it hits the enemy's body, if the opponent is younger than the holder, it will trigger the 'Jealousy Poison' and impose an 'Ageing Curse' on the target.
If the holder is younger, the 'Pity of the Old Man' will be triggered, and the 'Blessing of Youth' will be applied to the target, making it younger and stronger.】
[Note 1: This effect will consume the reserve of 'Essence of Youth' and 'Regret of Looking Back'. If it is exhausted, the holder's life force will be extracted to replenish it. Note 2: The physical age can be changed at will, and the judgment factor is psychological
Self-perceived age, the current holder’s self-perceived age is (16+49). Note 3: This item can only provide false youth and cannot affect life span.]
This thing can actually be used as a weapon? The effect is so subtle.
Lu Pingan tried waving it, and then put it down in surprise.
"Well, can you really get the bonus of full weapon specialization because it is a kitchen utensil? ... Think on the bright side, since kitchen utensils can be used, the success rate of my battle ax modification plan will increase.
Yes, probably."
Putting down the spoon, the more he looked at it, the more subtle Lu Ping'an felt, because he saw the description of the side effects and costs.
[Price 1, Torment of Dusk (Silver Median); Do the Time Cooking at least once a week, and take the two potions at least once each. The cooking raw materials must be the limbs of young and young people of the same type as the potions. The person who takes the potion.
The closer the race is to the material race, the better the effect. Body materials include but are not limited to hair, nails, and dandruff. If the holder does not cook it on time, the curse of aging will come as scheduled, and will be accompanied by the end.】
[Price 2, the unexpected final bell (Silver lower level): When the holder is afraid of death, the effect of 'fear of aging' is automatically triggered, and the body briefly enters an aging state. The duration is based on the amount of medicine brewed last time.
Determined. If it has not been triggered, it will be automatically triggered at midnight.】
These two side effects, especially the latter one, are quite fatal to other people.
"Fear of death because of aging, or conversely, fear of aging because of fear of death..."
If this thing is triggered during a battle, it will definitely be quite deadly, which should be the fundamental reason why it is put into the reserve.
Having had experience in the Knight's Secret Realm, Lu Ping'an knew that self-awareness judgments such as "fear" and "admitting defeat" were quite broad, and it was difficult to control the subconscious mind.
Maybe you were thinking "I might die this time" while playing, so you triggered this effect, and then you really died.
And for Lu Ping'an...
"Oh, sweet death."
He actually didn't care, and if he guessed correctly, even if it was triggered, the curse should be able to be extended using his own abilities.
One-third of aging...then I am in my prime, try it when I get back!
At this time, touching this thing, Lu Ping'an finally understood the concept of "building one's own combat power with silver spells as the core".
"It's too strong, this thing..."
So, he opened the newcomer chat room where the big guys gathered and started typing happily.
"The silver spell is so powerful. Mengxin is ready to rely on it to make a living. Mengxin is so happy. I would like to ask you guys..."
Then, he happily received a bunch of angry comments and broken defenses.
"Damn, why are you banned again!"
The administrator responded quickly enough, but it still allowed the second large-scale breach of defense to spread. It also made everyone remember "Mengxin is safe on the road" and secretly made up his mind to "have a good chat offline" with him.
And Lu Ping'an, who "shared" the happiness, also somewhat relieved the depression and unhappiness caused by this curse.
Yes, the side effects didn't move him, he just vaguely got the truth of the story from the information about the cursed object.
"To refine the potion, you only need hair... Then you can buy it with money. Thompson in the story is quite rich and has his own hair salon."
Was Thompson really a murderer? Maybe, maybe not. It’s hard to determine retrospectively.
But the small-town prosecutors of that era might happily blame her for the mysterious cases and disappearances of many women and simply close the cases.
And what about the subsequent imitation cases by “collectors”?
I am afraid that those collectors do not have the ability to know the true function of this spoon. They only guessed the function from Thompson's story, and actually used the "body" to test it successfully, committing crimes all the way for the sake of false youth.
"If it had been discovered by the secret keeper earlier, or at least its true purpose had been revealed by a rule-based ability user, many things would not have happened. These things cannot be left alone..."
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking so much. Everyone inside and outside the case will be reduced to ashes. It's better to live in the present and have some fun with this thing."
"Mao Mao? Are you at home? I prepared some delicious food for you and will bring it back later. Come to my house to get it!"
