Wishes X Equivalents

Inside the Oasis camp.

Biscuit held the orange-red cloth in her hand.

"This thing actually has weight and texture. I thought it was just one of those illusory objects that simply had the shape of folded fabric and was essentially weightless."

After all, the source of this thing's weaving is a mysterious and difficult-to-determine product of spiritual emotions.

It feels smoother than high-end fabrics, and you can even feel the warmth emanating from the fabric when you touch it.

Is the battle intense?

Ultimately, the core is formed by the will to fight.

"So what's the use of this?"

Men Qi took it, touched it in her hand, and asked curiously, unable to figure out its use.

Kevin took it and held it in his hand.

The entire piece of fabric is only about the size of a palm, but the perceived quality varies from place to place.

The pure red edge indicates that it's probably at the lower end of A-Rank, just barely reaching A-Rank material.

The higher the center, the higher the level.

The small golden-orange patch in the center probably represents the pinnacle of A-Rank.

Furthermore, the characteristics of the entire piece of fabric also vary.

But it's really hard to imagine what this kind of fabric would be used for.

Kevin glanced at the Cat beside him; the cat definitely knew, after all, it was practically the know-it-all of this place.

"It can be used to make a wish."

The Cat said directly.

Such a simple and direct, yet extremely exaggerated ability.

"Can this thing grant wishes?"

Biscuit was somewhat shocked. She took the cloth and looked at it against the light, but couldn't see anything amiss.

Because the last thing that could be wished for was the Golden Thread in Kevin's hand, and its preciousness was something that could be seen with the naked eye.

"Little Wish, do you think it's something extraordinary? Besides, it can only be used within the realm of gods. Essentially, it's the Sky Overlord using this thing as a vessel to allow you to manipulate the rules within this territory."

The Cat waved its paw casually, showing little interest in the thing.

A small piece of cloth can only do so much; she can't handle more than that.

This thing was originally intended for the community.

Individual gains are always limited.

Cat prefer fun to this kind of pointless desire.

Kevin took it back and examined it intently, holding it out in his hand.

After the Cat explained it to him, he roughly understood how to use it.

Just like the Cat said.

Its function is the result of multiple conditions.

The Sky Overlord's control over the rules of its territory results in cloth woven with powerful energy, which is essentially of a high level.

Just like the Golden Thread in his hand.

Golden Thread are like wishes and expectations, formed from solidified material.

Therefore, it is an all-powerful substance that allows one to make wishes.

Therefore, it is the most precious.

The one in my hand is a mixture of fighting spirit and various byproducts.

Therefore, the rules that can be altered are limited, and so are the wishes that can be made.

Desire.

It has always been the most mysterious type of Nen ability.

Currently, among the known abilities that can grant wishes, the Nen ability is...

The most outrageous is Lorraine's Nen ability.

It takes a very long time to accumulate power to use it, and if I weren't so strong now, I might only be able to use it once in my entire life.

Secondly, there are physical life forms.

When the other party makes a wish, it is essentially an exchange of equal value.

For Qishou, it's a low-cost operation, or even a command.

Essentially, it's nothing more than E using its own accumulated energy to accomplish something; without equivalent exchange, it's like losing a part.

Energy acquisition.

Moreover, the wishes made by A are limited to things that do not exist.

These can all be found in the Zoldyck Family records.

For example, you might wish for a spaceship that can travel through space.

At most, I'd like to get you a state-of-the-art model.

They won't just build you a spaceship that doesn't exist out of thin air.

Golden Thread are different.

It possesses the property of creating things out of thin air, but the demand for it is enormous.

A more effective approach is to apply it to existing objects, enhancing and amplifying them.

The piece of cloth in my hand has the same use.

To verify his hypothesis.

Kevin took a dagger from his ring.

This dagger is a long dagger, about the length of a forearm. Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a knife similar to a hunting knife.

Its usefulness in combat is limited.

"Is this my scalpel?"

Men Qi noticed it immediately and asked.

Kevin nodded.

"That's right."

As the prey grew stronger, dissection became increasingly difficult, and most of the time, Men Qi and Buhaci had to spend a considerable amount of time dissecting their prey.

So he wanted Kevin to help him make a scalpel.

However, Kevin's skills were limited, so he could only make relatively ordinary ones.

This kind of thing should be left to professionals.

But now, it's just the right time to use it for experiments.

Extending a finger, I gently ran it along the edge of the fabric, and a thin strip of cloth, resembling several strands of hair twisted together, was cut off.

A concentrated Nen Orb appeared in his hand, and he placed the cloth inside.

The two immediately merged into one.

Kevin then pressed the Nen Orb in his hand onto the dagger.

The dagger's original blade surface now displays distinct patterns, which become more intricate at the edge.

The dagger only completed its transformation after the Nen Orb dissipated; apart from the patterns, it seemed to have nothing particularly special about it.

"Sure enough, the usage is exactly the same as with Golden Thread, and the technique of minimizing the amount used is also the same."

The Cat curiously approached and scratched at the paw twice, cutting off a portion of the fur from its paw.

"So sharp!"

The Cat was somewhat surprised. Despite her soft fur, the resilience of each hair was no joke.

Curious, it reached out its claw and tapped it against the blade.

Feeling that sharpness.

"Oh, so it's not sharp, it punctures."

Once the Cat understood, it instantly lost interest.

Men Qi took the dagger, held it in her hand, and examined it.

Kevin created a simple barrier of scales in his hand, then struck the tip of the dagger, which pierced through the barrier.

"That's amazing?" Men Qi was somewhat surprised.

"It's not as complicated as you think. This piece of cloth is ultimately formed from the desires and thoughts of the combat type, so it is very effective in satisfying aggressive desires."

The Nen Orb I just used was essentially the piercing ability I'd always possessed.

The source of this ability is a potion that Kevin created a long, long time ago using the tongue of the dragon he genetically bonded with.

Any attack that involves a straight, forward thrust will have piercing properties.

This ability was mixed into the fabric, and then, through the concept of wishing, it was forcibly bestowed upon the dagger.

"See, just this little bit is enough to achieve this goal."

Kevin was even slightly smug.

After all, this greatly reduces consumption.

Otherwise, if you were to rely solely on the desire of the fabric to adhere to it, you would need to use at least four or five times the amount to achieve the same effect.

"That's clever of me; I wouldn't think about those things."

The Cat nearby seemed to admire it.

Cat are no less intelligent than humans, and may even be more intelligent.

The reason why such thoughts are not common is essentially because there is too little exchange and interaction between intellectuals.

The stimulation of wisdom does not directly stem from intelligence.

The environment and one's own thoughts are very important.

"The closer you get to the center, the more versatile the direction becomes."

Kevin pointed to the orange area in the middle of the fabric with his finger.

The more gold-colored it is, the more versatile it is.

"Wait a minute, this thing can't be used as money, can it?"

Gowen suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Money?"

The Cat looked puzzled; it hadn't heard of the words before and didn't know how to translate them into its mind.

The way the meaning is expressed is also rather strange.

"It's a barter item. Can this be used to trade with other races in the Sky Overlord's territory?"

"You mean this? Of course, that's fine."

The Cat shook its tail, and a piece of cloth, entirely orange-yellow in the middle, appeared.

It's clearly of a higher energy level than the one they have.

Then a fluffy ball appeared.

The ball tumbled up and down along the Cat's tail, releasing a faint scent as it flew.

After Kevin smelled it, his face relaxed considerably, and he felt a little more at ease.

Men Qi and the others behaved even more exaggeratedly.

It felt like I was soaking in a hot spring, a truly relaxing experience.

Biscuit suddenly woke up and shook her head.

"This taste—"

"Impressive, right? This is what I traded for cloth; it can make Cat happier and more relaxed."

A ball made from the downy hairs of some kind of creature.

The fragrance it imparts has a relaxing and stress-relieving effect, and this effect is very, very noticeable.

It's clearly a treasured possession of the Cat.

"Looks like it can really be used as money."

Kevin looked at the fabric in his hand and murmured to himself.

Thinking about it, that makes sense; this thing is essentially quite versatile.

As expected, it should be something that all living beings can accept, so using it as money is perfectly appropriate.

"However, for us, using this as money is too extravagant. The things we use this thing for are definitely more useful than what we want to exchange for."

Biscuit shook her head and said.

Human Nen ability are incredibly diverse and multifaceted.

Based on Nen ability, plus a little bit of this fabric, it becomes versatile and consumes very little energy.

Kevin put the cloth away and suddenly said, "Looks like we can assign a new task when we get back."

Actions that benefit the entire territory will accumulate merit, which will then be put to practical use when the Weavers weaves the cloth.

Perhaps if it were completely peeled off, it could be directly transformed into Golden Thread.

However, thinking about it, it seems unlikely, since Golden Thread threads can only be directly produced by the Sky Overlord.

"I used to think the Dark Continent was rather desolate, but after coming here, I discovered that its operating rules and logic are actually very advanced."

Men Qi leaned against a large tree beside her, sighing with emotion.

Upon arriving in the Dark Continent, the sheer size of the creatures and the inherent dangers of the environment were truly nerve-wracking.

As they explored, they discovered that the Dark Continent was indeed savage, dangerous, and a place where the strong prey on the weak.

It allows one to truly delve into the core of civilization.

Another new scene will unfold.

Just like the first humans to land on the Dark Continent, just like Chimera Ant.

Everything in nature is dangerous.

As it grew, its status began to change, transforming it into a wild beast, then into True Beast, and finally into Demonic Beast capable of communicating with humans.

The circles you come into contact with are naturally civilized, and things naturally become more standardized and governed by certain rules.

Of course, this only applies to the Sky Overlord; their dominance may vary in other places.

It felt like being in a different country.

Some have become highly modernized, while others still operate under the systems of primitive tribes.

"We've had quite a fruitful trip, shouldn't we head back now?"

"I suddenly asked, "Buhaci asked.

They've been out for quite some time now.

If you add the journey back, the time it would take to leave would be about half a year; if there are any further delays, it would be a year.

The distance did indeed limit their exploration range.

Most of the time was spent traveling.

But indeed, the unknown is everywhere here.

The so-called journey is essentially a part of exploration.

Are you going back? Why are you in such a hurry?

The Cat asked from the side, its reluctance clearly visible in its tone.

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and said it immediately.

"In a while, it will be the competition organized by the compilers. Don't you want to watch it? There should be many Sapient Life and races participating, especially some races that are not very strong."

By then, you should be able to see many, many Lords, and many others who are recognized as Lord just like you.

Seemingly to persuade Kevin and his companions to stay longer, the Cat kept talking about various reasons to encourage them to stay.

"Alright, alright, we'll stay. After all, you said it's such a grand event. So now the question is, how long do we have to wait for this match? Don't tell me it'll be five or six years or something."

Kevin is now exasperated by the time-sensing abilities of these Lord Level beings.

Very fast, how fast?

Guaranteed minimum for one month.

Soon, that's even more unknown.

After.

That might refer to several years or even more than a decade from now.

Their lifespan is so long, and they have long adapted, that their concept of time is completely different from that of humans.

Human lifespan is only a few decades or a hundred years, which seems far too short to them—a fleeting moment, gone in an instant.

Although Kevin is adapting, he is still human after all, and it's not easy for him to adapt to this concept of time so quickly.

"I'm not stupid, of course I know how pressed you are for time. Honestly, I really don't understand why you're in such a hurry."

The Cat muttered a complaint before finally speaking.

"About six months, that's already very short, isn't it? Six months is all it takes, it'll be over in a sleep."

"Half a year—"

Kevin did the math, and if it were six months, then they could indeed stay here and wait.

Are there many competitions like this? Tell me about the differences between the various types of competitions.
