You don't have to actively defend or control it;

It triggers passively after being hit, which also counts as breaking free.

So, what method can be used to break free?

Learn from the Card Masters in the [Mecha] series and discharge electricity? That consumes spirit energy and the materials are expensive.

Lin Chen thought of a cheaper and more direct method;

It comes from a famous Huaxia idiom – "pricking the thigh"!

"Records of the Warring States: Policy of Qin I": "Su Qin, wanting to sleep while studying, pricked his thigh with an awl."

When you're tired and sleepy, just find a needle and prick yourself to wake up with pain.

To summarize, a common [Sanity Detection Bracelet] Equipment Card, an [Emergency Response Module], and a [Detoxifying Silver Needle].

Three common and cheap white cards are enough!

Card Making Formula: [Sanity Detection Bracelet] + [Emergency Response Module] + [Needle] = [Sober Mind Bracelet]

Since they are all white cards, the card-making process was very fast;

Lin Chen's pen flew across the paper, and a white-grade Equipment Card was made:

Card Name: [Sober Mind Bracelet · Emergency Needle]

Type: Equipment Card

Quality: Normal Grade · White Border · Two Stars

Equipment Effects:

[Sanity Detection] The bracelet has a sanity detection function. After equipping, it will continuously detect the wearer's Sanity Value.

[Emergency Needle Stab] If the wearer's sanity is detected to be below the alert level, an emergency response will be triggered, and the bracelet will pop out a silver needle to stab the wrist.

[Detoxification] The silver needle stimulates acupoints to draw blood, providing simple detoxification and heart-clearing effects.

A white card with three effects, its quality is at the ceiling for white cards.

Lin Chen was very satisfied. Although he ultimately chose a self-harm method to protect his sanity, the total cost of materials was less than 100,000;

It hurts, but it's worth it!

Unfortunately, Lin Chen didn't have enough money left, otherwise he would have wanted to make another one for Chen Xiao Diao.

In fact, the idea for this Equipment Card wasn't difficult to conceive. It mainly utilized reverse thinking.

Card Masters on the market, when dealing with mental attacks, prioritize active resistance and prevention, aiming to avoid injury as much as possible.

They never thought that they could do the opposite, waking themselves up through self-harm.

Perhaps some combat Card Masters might think of this through practical experience.

But they are not Card Masters, they don't have the mindset of a Card Master, and they wouldn't think of turning this idea into a card.

This is why such a card doesn't exist on the market yet.

As time goes by, eventually, some Card Master will think of this. Lin Chen just reacted quickly and seized the opportunity.

Mainly because Lin Chen was educated from a young age with idioms like "hanging his head from the beam and pricking his thigh," he had such a deep impression that he thought of it immediately!

It's thanks to the light of cultural heritage.

Therefore, Lin Chen quickly applied for the copyright of [Sober Mind Bracelet · Emergency Needle] and put it up for sale in the card shop.

Regardless of whether anyone buys it or not, he can't miss any opportunity to make money.

After finishing the card, Lin Chen waited for a long time, but Zhong Yueming still hadn't replied. It seemed he couldn't help much;

In the end, he could only rely on himself and Chen Xiao Diao, which made Lin Chen feel a little less confident.

Just then, Chen Xiao Diao also called;

Lin Chen answered, "What, are you done with your work?"

On Chen Xiao Diao's end, her voice was extremely tense, like a string about to snap:

"Brother Chen! Amber sent me a message!"

The author, along with Lin Chen, is here to ask for votes and follow-up readings!

Facing the recommendation slot PK, the current monthly ticket ranking of this book will still be broken. Therefore, Lin Chen needs a monthly ticket that can protect his ranking and promote traffic!

This book is currently in a PK round. If the data is bad, there will be no future traffic. So please everyone, follow along to the latest chapter, vote, and help Lin Chen in the decisive battle against the God of Wine!

Thanks to: "I am the transformation, you are the Vajra" for the 100 coin reward!

Thanks to: "King Goes to Bed Early" for 1 ticket, "Jie Chen Di Zun" for 1 ticket, "Zao Er" for 3 monthly tickets!

Chapter 28: Incense Offering Thief

Amber actually contacted Chen Xiao Diao proactively!

Lin Chen quickly asked, "What did he say?"

Chen Xiao Diao: "He said the [Spirit Wine] will be ready in a few days and asked us to pick a time to go over! Should we go?"

To Lin Chen, this was a blatant Hongmen Banquet, or perhaps it should be called a banquet of the God of Wine!

But if he refused, it would only make Amber wary, leading him to deduce that Lin Chen had already seen through the bar's secret.

Instead, it might provoke the other party and lead to more intense and crazy actions!

Lin Chen understood the fanaticism of the God of Wine's followers.

By agreeing directly, he could hide his strength, feign ignorance, show weakness to the enemy, and catch them off guard!

Lin Chen replied, "Then have him pick a time, rest up, and we'll go together then."

Chen Xiao Diao: "Understood! I'll arrange it for the day after tomorrow."

Although she was a little worried that if Amber was truly a hidden heretical cult priest as Lin Chen suspected, this trip would be extremely dangerous!

But with Lin Chen there, Chen Xiao Diao felt very at ease; it seemed that with Brother Chen, there was nothing to fear!

Chen Xiao Diao savored this novel experience of having someone to rely on;

She had seen it in TV shows, and this feeling seemed to be called "reliance"...

"Xiao Diao, what are you spacing out for! Hurry up and lend a hand, let's smash these Water Corpses!"

The call from her patrol colleague interrupted Chen Xiao Diao's daydream;

"Coming, coming!"

She quickly summoned Lu Zhishen, and the monk charged to the riverbank, wielding his large iron Zen staff.

One strike each, he blew the heads off the corpses trying to climb ashore!

Another wave of Water Eerie attacks was dealt with.

The patrol officer working with Chen Xiao Diao took a break, pulled out a spirit replenishing agent, and complained to her while resting:

"Why is the Binjiang River so chaotic? How many corpses have there been already!

Xiao Diao, it's good that I'm teamed up with you, your Card Spirit is too fierce! One smash each, otherwise, it would really be exhausting to fight them slowly!"

Since Chen Xiao Diao's great victory over Li Jingde, her colleagues had become more respectful of her;

This compliment from her colleague not only praised Chen Xiao Diao but also indirectly praised the power of the cards made by Lin Chen;

Thinking of this, she forgot her fatigue and smiled happily.

On Lin Chen's side, after agreeing on the time to visit the shop, he had been contemplating what other ways he could quickly improve his combat power.

Suddenly, the Door Gods card in his card box vibrated violently;

This was a signal from Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong requesting to appear!

Lin Chen quickly summoned Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong;

Yuchi Gong was impatient, his voice like a thunderclap: "My Lord! An enemy is attacking!"

Lin Chen was startled: "Did an Eerie sneak into my house?!"

He immediately began looking around, searching for the Eerie's whereabouts;

His mental power swept through the entire area, but he couldn't find any trace of Eerie energy, not even a mouse in sight!

Lin Chen looked at the Door Gods in confusion: "Where is the Eerie?"

Qin Qiong cupped his hands and replied, "Not here."

Lin Chen was even more surprised: "Not here? Then where could it be?"

If it weren't for the fact that the two Door Gods were always upright and incorruptible, Lin Chen would have suspected they were toying with him!

Yuchi Gong wanted to speak, but he couldn't explain it clearly for a long time, which made him extremely anxious.

Qin Qiong couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Pardon me," then placed his hand on Lin Chen's shoulder;

In an instant, Lin Chen's mind trembled slightly!

His sea of consciousness abruptly received an image transmitted by Qin Qiong:

It was the Door God Temple from the previous Myriad Ghosts Night Parade Capital instance!

The Door Gods could actually connect to the vision of the Door God Temple?

This kind of remote surveillance effect!

It seemed reasonable, after all, the Door Gods were summoned and made into cards by Lin Chen using the incense offerings from this place;

The Door God Temple was considered the origin place of the Door Gods, so it should possess some divine mystery.

Lin Chen continued to look closely and saw that in front of the shrine in the temple, there was a hunched black shadow kneeling;

Hmm? When did a devout believer arrive?

Lin Chen curiously zoomed in on the image, only to see that it was clearly a hag with a rat's face!

With its sharp mouth, rat whiskers, and oily sheen, it prostrated itself before the shrine, greedily absorbing the incense offerings that belonged to the Door Gods!
