Water Prayer Necklace
After confirming that this was his reward, Lin Yu was completely relieved and began to examine the Necklace.
After all, Li Hua's name and address alone were not enough to make him lower his guard.
Hannah carried Old Zheng out of the schoolbag, and her brain started making a noisy noise.
"Why would he give away Necklace? Does this 'Gambler' have a contact list?"
Lin Yu helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about, Old Zheng? This is a [Item]... and the effect is quite strong."
"I know, I know it's Item. I've seen this Necklace before; it's a very powerful [Item], and it has some special meaning... That's why I said he had a contact list."
"If you don't believe me, look at the instructions on this thing."
Old Zheng offered a suggestion.
Lin Yu looked at the [Item] description that had appeared.
[Water Prayer Necklace: Necklace capable of absorbing and storing liquids; upon wearing, the user gains the abilities of "Rain Prayer" and "Water Control." Rain Prayer: Creates a rainfall event lasting up to half an hour, covering a maximum diameter of three kilometers, with a maximum rainfall amount equivalent to a torrential downpour; cooldown time is 24 hours. Water Control: Grants the ability to breathe and move freely underwater; additionally, the user can consume Mental Power to gain the ability to Water Control.]
[Note: This Necklace, crafted from Mystic Crystal Stone by the Great Shaman "Sutu," was a gift to her lover.]
Lin Yu was somewhat helpless.
"You're right, but thankfully it was Li Hua who gave it to me—if it were anyone else, I would definitely have to think twice."
After all, the only things Lin Yu was somewhat confident about, besides his acting skills, were his looks; he knew he was indeed "good-looking."
Aside from the girls' confessions, I wasn't unaware of the boys' affections during my middle school years.
However, Li Hua definitely didn't have that intention.
That guy wouldn't care about such trivial details in the [Item description]. Judging from the almost abnormal and obsessive Leng Jing that the "Gambler" showed, he probably only saw the functionality in giving this thing to him.
The fact that Li Hua gave him this [Item] as a reward only shows that he really thought highly of him and was afraid that he might accidentally "die" in some Instance.
"But... Old Zheng, how come you, the former head of the 'Psychology Society,' only remember these kinds of things every day?"
"Hahaha," Old Zheng laughed heartily, "Because I have a very good memory... and I also happened to have sold this Necklace before—I got a high price for it, so naturally I remember it well."
"It's quite a coincidence, if the 'Hacker's' spoiler is correct, your next [Instance] should be in the Black Marsh..."
"This stuff comes from the Black Marsh; you might even run into that Great Shaman there."
Lin Yu stroked his chin. "Huh? If I run into him, can I use this to try and get closer to him?"
"It's best not to, in case it gets you into trouble."
Old Zheng advised.
Lin Yu pursed his lips. "I'm not an idiot, I definitely won't force myself on him—I mean, if the situation is right, I'll try to trick him."
"Then I must remind you, you can't afford to take any risks," Old Zheng said seriously. "That guy's strength is roughly at the 'Deity's Spokesperson' level. When an NPC reaches the level of Deity's Spokesperson, there's basically no chance that an ordinary 'Tier 3' NPC can even come close... The Lord of Mist Island is at that level."
"You've seen the arrangements I made on Lord of Mist Island Mist Island. " "Robin" isn't weak among the "Tier 3" players, yet she's been tricked even on her second attempt... Even a "Diviner" would have to wear a disguise and temporarily avoid my attacks."
Lin Yu looked at Old Zheng: "That's a bit like you're patting yourself on the back, Old Zheng."
"I know I've fallen so low, please give me some sense of superiority, I beg you!"
Old Zheng said loudly.
Lin Yu smiled silently.
This guy with the brains is really an interesting character. Putting aside the fact that he once founded that stupid "Psychology Society," Lin Yu's relationship with Old Zheng is getting more and more pleasant.
"No matter what, we'll definitely need this Necklace."
He put on the delicate Necklace —a short, collarbone-style Necklace.
In particular, its chain is made of translucent silver crystal, and the pendant is a purple teardrop, which looks very feminine.
After Lin Yu put it on, it looked somewhat strange.
"It seems a bit too eye-catching."
He touched the Necklace, which felt slightly damp and cool, and muttered to himself.
"You want to hide this thing? That's not impossible," Old Zheng said calmly. "This thing can store liquid, it says so in the instructions... Its capacity is about the size of two normal-sized water tanks."
"So, just have the Octopus chef over there fill you with some of its optically invisible ink... because the liquid stored inside won't expire, so you can maintain the invisibility effect indefinitely—but people will still be able to spot you, so remember to remove it when you're getting intimate with someone and biting their neck."
Old Zheng provided a solution.
Lin Yu ignored the strange remarks Old Zheng made in the latter half and looked at Hannah.
"Thank you for your trouble, Hannah."
"Quack! I'd be happy to serve you, Director!"
Hannah threw Old Zheng onto the table and flattened his body with her tentacles.
Then, the Little Octopus leaped up like a spring and landed accurately on Lin Yu's shoulder like an arrow.
Hannah moved on Lin Yu's shoulder, getting closer to Lin Yu neck, and then placed her tentacles on the Necklace.
"Um, can I just release the ink directly?"
Hannah looked at Old Zheng.
Old Zheng, slumped on the table, had a sudden thought, "That's right."
Hannah did as she was told, puffing out her cheeks and spraying out fine, iridescent [Illusion Ink], precisely onto the Necklace.
The [Water Prayer Necklace] is like an absorbent cloth in an advertisement, instantly absorbing all the ink.
Lin Yu could feel that the previously "empty" Necklace now contained some liquid.
This feels somewhat like [Item Space], but not exactly the same.
He can change the "position" of those liquids—for example, making the ink stick to the outside of the Necklace.
Soon, the originally silver, translucent Necklace transformed into a beautiful, ever-changing array of colors.
Hannah manipulated her ink to slowly change color—until finally, the ink made the entire Necklace transparent.
Even upon close inspection, it's almost impossible to tell that Lin Yu is wearing a collarbone chain around his neck.
"Quack! Director, it's done!"
Lin Yu examined himself in the mirror and was very satisfied.
"Okay, that's much better..."
We'll test the Item's power in the next Instance.
However, since Li Hua gave it to me as payment... it must be pretty good!
