The Snake Charmer's "Flute"? Snake Charming? (Part 2)

Erhu: When your health is full, you can randomly play any piece on the erhu to provide a random all-enemy buff. The lower your health, the weaker the buff effect; when your health reaches 1/2, the buff resets to zero.

Wave All Over: When your health drops below 1/2, you will gain the dodge skill. The lower your health, the higher the skill level. When you have only one drop of health left, you will gain the dodge (max) skill, allowing you to stay dry even in the rain without an umbrella.

"Ah, this..." Chen Luo was stunned.

Are there any other erhus in the world that are this strange?

Moreover, Chen Luo always felt that this erhu seemed to be implying something about a certain person.

Was it Chen Luo's imagination?

To be fair, this erhu does seem quite suitable for Chen Luo, the puppeteer, since it provides group buffs.

The erhu is just a little bit less elegant.

But it cannot be denied that Chen Luo misjudged again.

[Ding! Item obtained (Flute)]

"Oh, this must be an awesome instrument, right? It looks rather elegant."

[Flute]: How about a snake charmer? (Includes master-level flute skills)

Effect: Forces any snake to dance. However, the higher the intimacy level or the longer the time spent together, the more refined the movements become.

"Although I have no evidence, I suspect this flute is aimed at Mobius." Chen Luo looked at the flute and fell into deep thought.

Is it really okay to do any kind of move?

"Wait, isn't the Vortex Archon a snake?" Chen Luo suddenly paused.

Would you say I've drawn something that's extremely effective against the Vortex Archon?

"No, wait, can this thing even distinguish friend from foe? If we send the Infinite Serpent to fight the Vortex Archon, won't it turn into a dance battle?"

"Stop fighting!"

As he imagined the scene in his mind, Chen Luo trembled.

The description of this flute is too scarce, so Chen Luo needs to continue to explore it.

But the fact that this thing can deal with any kind of snake proves its effectiveness.

However, there is one thing to mention: you can control the other person's dancing, but that doesn't mean they can't hit you while they're dancing.

Moreover, there might be some hidden rules involved, such as the greater the difference in strength, the smaller the impact, or the greater the difference in strength, the shorter the duration of the impact.

"Let's have Mobius help with the experiment later," Chen Luo said, immediately selecting the test subject.

Since Mobius always wants Chen Luo to lie on his operating table, it's not unreasonable for Chen Luo to ask him to do some experiments for him.

As for Infinite Serpent?

This thing is just a stand-in for Chen Luo. What's the point of using it to control anything? What can it detect?

[Ding! Item obtained (Ten Years)]

What is this?

Chen Luo felt that this was the first time he had seen the name of an item and still couldn't guess what it was.

A song?

Musical scores for erhu or dizi?

[Ten Years]: As the name suggests, this refers to a period of 10 years.

Effect: Can be converted into ten years of time. Such as increasing lifespan by 10 years, rapidly increasing one's age by 10 years, or instantly gaining magic power 10 years in the future, etc.

"!!!"

"This thing can actually be pulled out?" Chen Luo was stunned after reading the description of the item.

This thing is so abstract.

And it looks so awesome.

Chen Luo's resurrection ability has always had a flaw: each time he is resurrected, his physical age will regress a little.

(It doesn't necessarily have to be one year.)

So here's the question: what if you die dozens of times and transform into a fertilized egg?

Then this 10-year period will be useful.

However, judging from the introduction, spending these 10 years on physical age seems to be the most wasteful method.

If used to increase magic power, it will grant the magic power one can possess 10 years later.

Other factors, such as physical fitness, are probably similar.

However, Chen Luo didn't quite believe in this 10-year figure.

Simply exchanging 10 years of physical age is easy to quantify.

However, the amount of magic power 10 years from now is really uncertain. Chen Luo estimated that this 10-year period would be calculated by estimating his current magic power absorption rate per day, hour, or 10 minutes, and then calculating the amount of magic power he should have in ten years, which would then be returned to him.

Instead of traveling directly 10 years into the future and replicating one's magical power from 10 years into the present.

Of course, this is just speculation at the moment.

But Chen Luo was certain that this thing would be very useful.

Chen Luo looked at his backpack, where there was a large, chaotic-colored mass.

Upon seeing this large bundle of things for the first time, Chen Luo knew its basic usage.

These 10 years can be allocated arbitrarily. They can be divided into three years of age, three years of magic power, three years of physical conditioning, and so on...

It doesn't necessarily have to be one of them.

"This seems to be a high-level reward. And it's Estelle's high-level reward. If I'm not mistaken, this 10 years probably comes from the story of Estelle traveling back 10 years to save her friend. It's just that hers is ten years in the past, while mine is ten years in the future."

"Hmm? That's not right either. This thing seems uncertain. It can only go back 10 years, maybe 10 years ago, like the magic power 10 years ago... Okay, I didn't have magic power 10 years ago. But if that's the case, could I use this thing to heal injuries? Like going back to the second before I got injured? How many times can this thing be used? 10 years is 315 million seconds? Can it be used more than 300 million times?"

"Or perhaps resurrecting someone who just died five seconds ago?"

Chen Luo felt like he had finally figured things out.

"But I still feel that 10 years is a bit short, because if Yakumo Yukari wants to return to the body age of 17, she'll need hundreds of decades. Hmm, maybe even thousands..."

"I feel like I'm having really good luck today. I've gotten a lot of good stuff. Come on, let's keep going. There are still 4 high-level rewards left. I'm not greedy, just 4 more [Ten Years] level items would be great." Chen Luo rubbed his hands together excitedly, then looked at the remaining 4 high-level rewards.

These high-level rewards are said to be high-level, but the upper limit might be a bit too high. Whether you can get anything good from them is not certain. Moreover, these high-level rewards are more or less related to the task issuer.

For example, the powers of the Herrscher of Void and the Authority of the Herrscher of Thunder.

And the past ten years.

[Ding! Acquired Trait (White Fur)]

"What is this? Oh well, it must be something good anyway." Although he was a little confused, Chen Luo patiently read the description.

[White Hair]: Can turn your hair white.

"... That's it? That's it? All it does is turn hair white? What a waste of a high-level reward! Let me see which bastard got this thing!"

"The remaining four high-level rewards were all obtained through Cecilia's blessing, namely Kiana, Siegfried, Durandal, and Theresa. Holy crap, all four of them seem to be white-haired!"

Durandal used to have white hair too.

"Huh? It was Siegfried?" Chen Luo was stunned when he found out who the reward came from.

Chen Luo originally thought this should belong to Kiana or Theresa.

Hmm, never mind.

However, since he wasn't fully resurrected at the time, Chen Luo tolerated him.

[Ding! Item obtained (Oath of Judah - Modified)]

[Oath of Judah - Modified] (Can be Divine Awakened): An improved version of Oath of Judah that can do almost anything except fight. (Do you know how many uses Judah has?)

Effect: As the name suggests, it can do everything except fight. The combat function of the Oath of Judah has been deliberately reduced, and its rated power cannot be used, but the Soulsteel material remains unchanged.

(Can undergo divine awakening, will transform into a white-haired, golden-eyed, white-stockinged, masochistic, large-breasted young lady)

"Hmm... You can do anything except fight. But the question is, why would I need you for anything other than fighting?" Chen Luo was genuinely stunned.

Can it really do everything?

And is it true that it can turn you into a pretty girl? Or is it just false advertising?

Then... I order you to develop a warp drive immediately!

Chen Luo stared blankly at the Oath of Judah in front of him, which was exactly the same as the Oath of Oath of Judah in Theresa's hand but could not be activated at its rated power.

Hmm, the M attribute...

Never mind, I'll just throw it in the warehouse for now.

But then again, what would happen if we gave the other party a copy of the Oath of Judah after they had awakened their divinity?

Chen Luo and Theresa are so close that they have naturally copied each other's Judgement of Thunder long ago.

Judah used Judah to fight?

As for the awakening of divinity? What does that have to do with Chen Luo?

Chen Luo's house is already overflowing.

Well, maybe a few more can be squeezed in.

That's not right. Speaking of people, it seems like Chen Luo only has one person in his family; the others aren't really people.

[Ding! Acquired skill (Stare and Social Death)]

[Stare and Social Death]: You can select a target, glare at them, and then make them die (real effect).

Effect:

True Social Death: When any of the target's private records contain anything that could lead to social death, activating this ability will expose the target's secrets to the public, and the target will immediately be aware of their social death.

False Social Death: When there is nothing in the other person's private records that could lead to social death, or when you don't want the other person to actually be socially dead, you can activate this ability. The other person's experiences will not be disclosed, but the target will have the illusion that they have already been socially dead.

"Uh... does Kiana have any necessary connection with social death?" Chen Luo scratched his head and muttered to himself in confusion.

However, this skill is indeed a bit outrageous, and the most important thing is the real effect.

In other words, even someone with an extremely thick skin would feel like an ordinary person is going to die if hit by this skill.

And this thing seems quite useful for revealing people's secrets.

In the future, you won't need to go to great lengths to defeat certain villains. Just use this skill, and their secrets will be exposed.

The other party may not only suffer social death, but also physical death because of these petty secrets.

After all, social death encompasses not only the meaning of shame, but also the meaning of disgracing others.

For example... Otto in women's clothing?

"Ding-a-ling!" Just as Chen Luo was about to unpack the last high-level reward belonging to Durandal, the wind chimes suddenly rang.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Reward: 50 Primogem

"Chen Luo! Chen Luo! Do you have a way to get me into the Golden House quickly? I suspect that Childe might be up to no good in the Golden House!" Lumine suddenly rushed in from outside the door and said seriously to Chen Luo.

"Huh? Of course." Chen Luo paused for a moment before nodding.

It seems the time has come for a decisive battle with the Childe.

"How long will it take? How fast can it be?" Lumine couldn't help but ask.

"How fast? That depends on how fast you want to go." Chen Luo vanished from the bar counter in an instant and reappeared next to the Bar Door.

"What do you mean?" Lumine was taken aback.

"I was planning to tell you the second way to see the Archon's Remains last time, but you refused too quickly, so I didn't have time to say it. Actually, I also put a teleportation point on the Archon's Remains." Chen Luo said as he pushed open the Bar Door.

"..." Lumine looked at the majestic Archon's Remains that was so close to her, turned around, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Chen Luo.
