Primitive Punk

[Aoneng extracted from the target]: [Sequence 56: [Crescent Moon]]

[Rating]: Omega Sequence (Ω, final Greek letter)

[Crescent Moon - Perception]: Double benefits of [Dexterity] and [Charm].

"A crescent moon rises slowly, its beauty illuminating the neglected sky. What it lacks is precisely the mockery and ridicule of this ignorant world."

"You are like several long echoes from afar, blended into a unified tone that is dark and profound, as vast as the night, yet as radiant as light, where fragrance, color, and sound intertwine and reflect each other."

"My friend, open your arms wide and offer this jester's joke to this ugly world."

— [Source Abyss Celestial Lord] Sorao.

Aoneng's performance:

Active activation—your hands can perform certain dimensional operations on the space and existence you come into contact with, just like using this world as a modeling and drawing software. But no matter what you do, the 'crescent moon' must be released by your hands.

Passive state – Your identity information is reduced in size; as long as you are willing, no mechanical device or magic can detect your true information; "Let's play a game, the prize is the whole world."

[Range]: Only for two-handed contact.

Current development level: Perception level; the Aura Value consumption rate at this development level is -110%.

"Got it."

Li Aoz lifted his foot, shook his neck, and two cold, silvery moonlight flashed in his empty head.

When he extracted Aoneng, he also took away the kid's Racial Talent, adding a "Benign Mutation" to his stats, which can enhance the effect of mutations by 5%.

[As expected of a family of extraordinary individuals; their extraordinary talent is innate, tsk tsk tsk.]

It may be a bit unkind to say this, but competitors really are enemies.

"Ugh..."

Mo Zilan struggled to his feet, spreading his arms and pressing them to the ground. He glared at Li Aoz with hatred, shouting, "Du Zexin! You bastard, my father will never let you get away with this!"

"Is that so?" Li Aoz shrugged. "Then take your time looking. I, Du Zexin, am not changing my name or surname. Come and find me."

With that, he deftly flicked his hand, his entire body creating a mosaic effect that disrupted dimensional traces, before gracefully departing.

Compared to the unfamiliar Aoneng of [Calamity], he was much more familiar with [Crescent Moon]. This Aoneng itself doesn't have particularly strong direct damage output, and although its short range makes it unsuitable for one-on-one combat, it's an extremely powerful control skill in the early to mid-game, with very high versatility.

At the same time, it can also provide the 'invincibility' effect of [Spirit World Walking], which is second only to the [Mysterious] class among all professions.

Another point is that the dimensional manipulation effect of [Crescent Moon] can be combined with the Echo Power to create dimensional Space-time Ripple. Although the range is short, it is still quite considerable when combined with the splash AOE.

It's still better than [bloodline] no matter what.

With the Crescent Moon in hand, Li Aoz made a swift escape, not wasting a second, tearing open Space-time Ripple and teleporting to Trustworthy Village on the spot.

"Miss Ya Wen, I'm back."

Li Aoz removed his hood, revealing his blank, expressionless head, and stepped into the territory of Trustworthy Village, his Mental Power immediately sweeping across the entire area.

[Tsk, they ran away again.]

Li Aoz shook his head. Ya Wen was still quite bothered by the fact that he had revealed her identity and was constantly worried about meeting him.

Perhaps, if we don't break the ice, it won't be so awkward?

But such secrecy is not Li Aoz's style.

Li Aoz called out a few times, but seeing that Ya Wen did not respond, he simply shook his head and ignored her.

He walked around, inspecting his small territory. Thanks to the players' 007-style hard work, Trustworthy Village had reclaimed hundreds of acres of fertile land, and the houses were neatly arranged. Two major guilds had also established their own strongholds here, preparing to build two-story buildings. Although it was still in the foundation stage, the players had already begun to plan their future lives in an orderly manner.

Soon, players noticed that Li Aoz returned, but there were too few of them to cause a stir.

"Holy crap! Li Aoz back!"

"Oh no, everyone in our guild has gone to kill goblins."

"I was just thinking of renting the [Natural Ignition] furnace, the furnace temperature isn't high enough."

Li Aoz didn't mind having little experience; he was willing to earn as much as he could, and also took the opportunity to observe the environment of Trustworthy Village.

Compared to the desolate wilderness before, the extensive construction over the past month has yielded remarkable results, and it can now be described as a simple village.

Brick kilns, coal kilns, blacksmith shops, leather workshops, and craft equipment workshops are all available. At this moment, there are also players who are "Biochemists" controlling the Biochemical Pool left by Li Aoz, preparing to improve their biochemical weapons. Players who have chosen life professions are also focusing on staying in the village and doing their jobs.

The chef is responsible for cooking and drying the food, making it into compressed rations, and delivering them to the frontline combat personnel, ensuring that the food is as delicious as possible while providing sufficient buffs.

The blacksmiths are the busiest, working almost day and night to repair weapons retired from the front lines.

The Mechanic player is rather unlucky. Since their weapon output mainly depends on firearms, after the ammunition on the front line runs out, they have to go forward to pick up the spent cartridges and bullets, return to the camp, modify the fertilizer, hand-craft bullets and refills, and then also work as a Gunsmith, responsible for adding and modifying weapon parts.

To be honest, this is a bit of a challenge for the [Mechanic] players. They are suited to making their mark in industrial civilization, but in this remote and impoverished area, these mechanical dogs may not be as useful as the civil engineering engineers.

However, it must be said that the players' imagination and creativity are quite amazing.

Under limited conditions, players categorized and organized the materials they hunted and gathered, and used local materials to recreate weapons.

Bows and crossbows were the first products considered. Players fully utilized the spirit of 'taking from the enemy and using it against the enemy,' using monster materials and combining them with the industrial thinking of Azure Planet to create modern bone composite bows and high-weight crossbows.

As for explosives, after joint research by the [Biochemist] and the [Chef], it was decided to use a locally sourced crystal ore as a substitute, which possesses extremely powerful energy. After grinding and shaping, simple grenades and explosives were created—the activation method was simple and crude: just stuff a detonator and some white sugar inside.

These crystal bombs can also be modified into landmines and traps. A more common trigger-type trap involves digging a hole in the ground, stuffing some bombs inside, and activating the fuse upon impact.

A more advanced method involves placing a goblin head on top, tossing it into the goblin horde, and the monsters, curious and eager to devour it, gather together. Then, all you need to do is wait for the 'BOOM' sound, and you can enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

To destroy the Goblin Nest, players went to great lengths. Flooding, burning, burying, and poisoning—all sorts of weapons from the mountains and forests were used to kill the creatures there, truly turning the raw ingredients into the raw food.

This kind of Primitive Punk style was everywhere, allowing Li Aoz to fully appreciate the creativity of the players.
