Su Xi suddenly felt unable to face Kurumi. It turned out that Kurumi had become so unlucky because of her.
In fact, before Kurumi split off, the probability of opening Talent Chest as Kurumi and getting skill enhancements was quite high. It wouldn't be like Kurumi is now, where opening ten chests results in six chests increasing the Time Value.
This has resulted in her having an extremely high Time Value, which she can't possibly accumulate in her daily life.
"Ahem, let's give back Kurumi. It's pretty pathetic that she never gets the pity reward when she opens treasure chests."
Anyway, most of her talents are already greatly enhanced, so whether she strengthens them further or not will have a very limited effect.
Elysia: "There's no luck that belongs to Kurumi. Luck is something I gave you. It's just that when you split Kurumi away, I didn't share that luck with you."
"Actually, none of your other incarnations share your luck equally. Kurumi because she has already opened a lot of treasure chests and doesn't have much luck to begin with."
Su Xi: "... Oh, never mind then."
Since it wasn't Kurumi's, then I won't feel guilty.
Anyway Kurumi is used to bad luck, so she definitely won't be used to suddenly becoming lucky.
Then the topic returned to the beginning.
Elysia thought for a moment and said, "Although you don't have the item to awaken the memory of an item, you have the skill to do so, which is why you've been so lucky to keep getting to that space."
"Huh? Do I have one?"
"Yes, it's Qiqi's incarnation, [Past Memories]."
Su Xi suddenly realized. "When I first helped Qiqi awaken this skill, I was wondering how to use it. Oh, so that's where it's used..."
Soon, having obtained the answer by cheating on Elysia, Su Xi returned to the spatial turbulence.
This time, without a doubt, they entered the thatched hut in the mountain stream.
"According to Elysia, all the items placed here can be awakened, but each player can only awaken one."
Su Xi looked around the space. If you included the pebbles on the ground, the water, and the mountain walls, there were quite a lot of things here.
[Dimensional Avatar: Qiqi]!
After turning into a white-haired little zombie, Qiqi pondered for a moment and picked up a chopstick from inside the thatched hut.
[Past Memories] activated!
"Ding! The special item [Chopsticks] has been activated. Players cannot learn the special item's skills in their current state. Please cancel the special state before learning."
Oh right, Dimensional Avatar cannot learn skills that are not in the original setting.
Qiqi quickly canceled her avatar state and turned back into a golden elf (her Primordial Avatar state was not canceled).
At this point, the system notification sound returned to normal.
"Ding! You have awakened the special item [Chopsticks] and activated the hidden skill within it, [Gentleman Swordplay]. Do you wish to learn it?"
"Gentleman Swordplay?"
Doesn't this look like swordplay from some martial arts novel?
Su Xi was a little confused.
Then I selected no.
Regular players can only use the awakening item obtained through quests to awaken once, but hers is a skill that can be awakened many times, so if you don't like this one, you can switch to the next one.
[Spirit Snake Swordplay]...
[Black Tortoise Swordplay]...
More than a dozen items and props were activated in succession, all of which were related to the XX sword technique.
"Damn, why are there so many swords?"
Su Xi made a complaint, then switched to Qiqi and activated the next prop.
"Ding! You have awakened the special item [Dried Branch] and activated the hidden skill [Sacred Spirit Swordplay]. Do you wish to learn it?"
"Huh? This swordsmanship seems pretty strong..."
Su Xi glanced at the name of the sword technique and then selected "Yes".
There was nothing else to choose from; all the options were swords. So Su Xi just picked whichever sword technique had a nice-sounding name and learned it. This Sacred Spirit Swordplay sounded pretty good, at least much better than names like Snake or Turtle.
And she didn't want to waste any more time.
The important thing is to hurry up and get the World Tree Fragment.
After learning this skill, Su Xi transformed the Fairy Wand into the shape of a sword and tried to unleash the skill in this space.
Whether in her past life or during her advancement, this was the first time Su Xi had ever learned such a melee skill.
"I thought there would be some kind of enlightening lesson, but it turns out the system is just guiding me to make certain movements to launch an attack..."
Su Xi complained about the way melee skills were released, saying that compared to mindlessly throwing spells, melee skills were much more troublesome to release.
Of course, if you are not familiar with the skills in the early stages, the system will assist you in casting them. This is enough for dealing with monsters, but it is not enough for dealing with players or NPCs with player-like intelligence.
Then you can only follow the system's assistance to familiarize yourself with the skill's movements, and when you no longer need the system's assistance, you'll be considered a master.
The next time you enter this spatial turbulence, the scene that appears in front of you will be missing the thatched hut in the mountain stream. This is probably because after obtaining the reward, one less area will be available to visit.
Three scenes remain before my eyes: Bridal Chamber, Dragon City, and a mountaintop...
Soon, the scene of the Bridal Chamber appeared before my eyes.
"It's not Dragon City... Is there anything here that I need to get?"
Su Xi was puzzled as she entered a bright red Bridal Chamber.
The room was filled with red silk and tassels, swaying in the breeze. A delicate candlestick sat atop the central table, its candlelight flickering. In the corner stood a wardrobe with intricate carvings, and beside it, a dressing table laden with exquisite rouge, powder, and combs. The bed was covered with a bright red bedspread embroidered with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns...
It is clearly the boudoir where a young girl would stay when she got married.
"The Sacred Spirit Swordplay I got from thatched hut in the mountain stream wasn't particularly helpful to me, so why am I going into this kind of situation again..."
Su Xi switched to Qiqi, and after a moment's thought, picked up the candlestick on the table and used it to wake her up.
"Ding! You have awakened the special item [Wedding Candlestick] and activated the hidden skill within it, [Ice Heart Art]. Do you wish to learn it?"
Su Xi, having canceled her avatar state, sighed, "Another skill? Is this thing even useful to me?"
Su Xi began to doubt the role of her luck.
"By the way, does this special item meet the requirements for the [Guixu] ② effect?"
Switching between avatars was too troublesome, so Su Xi thought of the second effect of her witch function.
② You can learn skills through special items.
Once she thought about it, she acted on it. Su Xi touched all the items in the room, and finally, when she found the clothes in the wardrobe, her talent was activated.
"Ding! You have encountered a special item through your talent [Guixu] and learned the special skill [Sleeve Universe]."
"Uh... this skill I know, you don't mean the skill I have in the Andromeda 'Self', do you...?"
In any case, Su Xi had no recollection of learning this skill. The only explanation for its existence was the 'self' located in Andromeda.
At this moment, a memory suddenly surfaced in Su Xi's mind.
A handsome young man was diligently practicing the "Sleeve Universe" technique. After several years of cultivation, he had only learned a little bit of this magical art, and was finally able to store some personal items into his sleeve.
Su Xi simultaneously acquired these learning memories.
This method is far more powerful than the "Qiqi Methods" approach; it's truly enlightening.
However, this method also has its drawbacks. The 'self' will not be able to activate the item if it does not have the skill, but Qiqi can activate all of them.
The memories that surfaced have not yet ended.
The boy, having mastered the skill, ran happily to his master at the mountaintop and told him that he had finally learned the magic.
The old man, with his otherworldly air, patted the boy's head and smiled, "Very good, Xinghe, you are the first among this generation of disciples to learn this immortal technique. Here, this is your reward from your master."
A bottle of pills was placed into the boy's hand.
However, the old man, across time and space, looked at Su Xi and said, "You're not bad either."
A look of confusion crossed the boy's joyful face as he asked, "Master, who are you talking to?"
"And you, the future senior sister of the sect."
The boy instantly became excited and asked, "Master, Master, are you saying that in our generation, there will be a senior sister who can overpower the entire sect? Who is it? Junior Sister Qianqian, or Junior Sister Xi'er?"
The master smiled but said nothing.
Su Xi could only catch her breath after the memories faded.
At first, when there was only the boy, the memories were normal. But when the old man appeared, Su Xi felt as if ten mountains were pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe and almost suffocating her.
"Phew... That old man is incredibly powerful. Just seeing him in my memories is enough to make me feel such immense pressure..."
Su Xi took several deep breaths before she calmed down.
I wonder if this old man is the Cosmic Level powerhouse that Kexia mentioned.
Moreover, it seemed like the old man was speaking to me...
Based on the clues I've gathered, this sect should be the one 'I' belong to, and 'I' my name is [Xinghe]... I don't know my surname...
Could it also be surnamed Su?
Su Xinghe?
Su Jiang, Su Xi, Su Xinghe...
That seems quite reasonable.
Su Xi paused for a moment when she thought of this.
Then that old man was the master of 'Self'...
As for Qianqian and Xier, they both seem to be 'Zizi's' junior sisters, so the Palace Dress Woman seen that day must be one of them.
Su Xi snapped out of her daze, surprised.
This witch's ability can actually help her break through the limitations of Mortal World Trial and understand what her 'self' has gone through!
After the initial surprise, Su Xi continued to touch other props, trying to activate more 'self' memories and learn more about 'self'.
The result was that nothing came of it, only the skill "Sleeve Universe" remained.
[Sleeve Universe - Remnant]
Quality: Immortal
Consumption: Collect 10% of the energy consumed.
Effect: Allows for complete control over the world, with effortless movement. (Note: Special skill/cannot be taught/upgrade method unknown; currently can only store a limited number of items.)
Besides the Mythical Grade, there are skill levels above this level?
I tested the skill's effects; the inner space is roughly the size of a house, and putting things in and taking things out consumes 10% of my maximum magic power...
"What a terrible skill! It's not as good as the backpack that comes with the system."
Su Xi complained.
However, the skill has the suffix "incomplete" after it, probably because the skill is not complete. I wonder if it will be as described in the effect description when it is complete in the future, containing an entire world.
There were no more items in the wedding room that could trigger the witch's powers, so Su Xi could only leave with a sense of regret.
The next time I came back, only Dragon City and the mountaintop were left.
At this moment, Su Xi realized that the reason why she had used her luck to enter the thatched hut in the mountain stream the first time was obviously not for the Sacred Spirit Swordplay, but to trigger her witch function!
Unfortunately, you can't go in there anymore...
This time, only two screens rotated, and the one Su Xi didn't want to see was Dragon City.
"Why did I get picked that place even though I didn't want to go there?"
Another mountaintop, it feels like the one where the master is. If I go in, I'll probably get a lot of information and skills about 'self'.
This time, they actually ended up inside Dragon City.
Su Xi listened silently to the sound of the Mechanical Beasts starting up.
When strangers appear here, these heavily armed Mechanical Beasts will naturally come out to greet them.
Soon, the entire army of Mechanical Beasts activated and surrounded Su Xi.
It's not small in scale, but it's all small fry.
Faced with so many Mechanical Beasts, Su Xi held nothing back and directly took out the [Mobile Library], casting a legendary spell with each swipe, and unleashing it into the army of Mechanical Beasts.
Within seconds, several magical effects comparable to hydrogen bomb explosions appeared.
The outer and inner layers resounded with the loud sounds of magical explosions. A large number of Mechanical Beasts were blown apart by the magic, and mechanical parts were scattered everywhere, like overturned dominoes, with one Mechanical Beasts after another falling down.
The Mechanical Beasts that could fire cannons unleashed a volley of fire at Su Xi, who activated her [Magic Shield] and stood still.
It dropped by about 70%, but then, with the recovery from [Reversal· Rage Heartfire], it quickly returned to full.
"Its attack power is quite high, even though it's just a small fry."
Su Xi muttered something.
However, in addition to their high attack power, these Mechanical Beasts can also repair themselves. When they are low on health, they will automatically crouch down, pick up mechanical parts on the ground, repair themselves, and recover their health.
"Another monster that can regenerate health..."
Su Xi noticed that some of the Mechanical Beasts, which had been beaten to the point of being unable to move, stood up again after a short while, and said speechlessly.
The Mechanical Beasts army was about to launch a volley at Su Xi, but Su Xi dodged without hesitation.
At first, I wanted to test whether my defense of 67,000 could ignore their attacks. When it didn't work, why not just dodge?
Only a masochist would stand still and let you guys hit them.
(The 8,000-word-per-day update event is finally over. It's so frustrating, I feel like throwing up. I can't even imagine if those authors who update 10,000 words a day are even human. This book is already a million words long, and honestly, I'm thinking of ending it... I dug too many plot holes, digging them as I wrote, and then forgetting about them afterward. I'm really something else. And I didn't dig those holes to shock the readers or anything, but because I was worried about running out of things to write about later, so I dug so many. Now I want to end it, and just filling in those holes alone would take countless more tens of thousands of words... Also, regarding the protagonist singing, it seems quite a few people are looking forward to that scene. This scene will only appear when the protagonist turns the tide... um... it should be quite late.)
