Background / History

The Information Fragment first appears when Tang Qi examines the Ancient Parchment Scroll. It identifies the scroll as a Curio containing the Golden Furnace Meditation Method and provides the exact conditions needed to restore it. After Tang Qi follows the instructions, the scroll is restored and merges into his palm. 4

It subsequently becomes a recurring analytical phenomenon in Tang Qi's vision. Its reports commonly identify a target's category and status, then provide numbered entries concerning its origin, properties, usage, history, weaknesses, or present condition. 9 43

As Tang Qi's power and Omniscient ability grow, the fragments expand from basic item appraisal to high-risk analyses of Foreign Realm creatures, Divine Entities, historical records, hidden conspiracies, and cosmic secrets. 463 678 752 1147

• Distinguishes genuine Mystical Items from dangerous or degraded ones, including the Old Hunting Rifle's limited remaining lifespan. 137
