The Habit of Using Fodder to Improve Your Chances of a Hit

Flames exploded from Martial Way True Form's hand, and the light and heat that burst forth instantly almost completely filled the entire spiritual world.

The starry sky above dimmed, leaving only chaos on the bright mirror.

Under the light effect that seemed to blast away his entire Sea of Consciousness, Feng Xue unexpectedly felt no discomfort whatsoever. In fact, he felt an extreme relaxation, like someone who had been constipated for a month suddenly finding relief. The pain that had been so intense, as if he were about to be crushed to pieces, vanished in an instant.

Emerging from the joyful feeling of being reborn, Feng Xue began to re-examine her inner world.

Above us, the starry sky remained dazzling, and the star map, flowing according to wondrous laws, seemed to reflect infinite truths.

The mirror atop the high platform remained pristine and bright, but the words on it seemed to have acquired a touch of wondrous charm.

The most significant change was in the flames in the sky; in the center of the original five flames, some large and some small, a new, leaping flame had appeared.

The outer flame of the flame was a pale white, while the inner flame was grayish. The color became deeper towards the center, until the very center of the flame was pitch black.

At this moment, the five flames seemed to be attracted by the black and white flames, flowing out streams of flame that surged into it, adding fuel to its burning.

During this process, the colors of the five flames with different flame colors are also slowly fading, moving closer to the color of the central flame. Overall, it looks like a "big" character.

"So that's how this shape came about!" Feng Xue grinned, suddenly understanding the situation with those "human," "big," and "water" shaped flames. It turned out they were the Supernatural Tale Fire that were being assimilated!

However, there are also some strangely shaped ones...

Thinking of this, Feng Xue's lips curled up slightly. Then, the large, star-shaped flame inside his body suddenly transformed into a "fish"—well, an orca.

"As expected, the power to change appearance is also effective for the Supernatural Tale Fire..." Looking at the black and white flame orca in his body swimming in the sea of stars, Feng Xue was slightly moved. He now suspected that those Weird Tale that seemed to have a normal style were actually using Phantomatization- type abilities to unify the style of their bizarre and Phantom Object.

"Since the [Orca] power works, then the [Hermit] power should work too!"

With a thought, Feng Xue activated her [Hermit] power. The power manifested in the orca flames disappeared, and the flamboyant authority and Supernatural Tale Entry all turned into simple [Tag].

Seeing this, Feng Xue felt something, took out her employee badge and tapped it five times to enter the developer options. Sure enough, she found that these Tag could be "hidden".

"Wow, Old Li really pulled a fast one!" Feng Xue's lips twitched slightly as she selected to hide most of her Trait, leaving only [Libra - Oath Keeper] and [Orca] displayed.

Then, unleashing the power of the [Hermit] ability, the flames once again transformed into the shape of a killer whale, and at this moment, the only remaining Supernatural Tale Entry Feng Xue was [Libra - Oath Keeper].

Leaving an Ambulance Demon would have been a more low-key approach, but using such a Weird Tale challenge Residence Right seems rather far-fetched.

After all, there are basic principles to showing weakness. Showing weakness a little can lower the enemy's guard, but if you go too far, the opponent will become nervous.

It's like wearing a "school uniform" to play Ranked Match. At most, people will suspect that you're a newbie who just finished leveling up your gear and want to test the waters. But if you wear a beginner's set to play Ranked Matches, even the dumbest opponent will suspect that you've Phantomatization your gear.

He gathered all his existing main combat equipment and organized them, then changed his Unruly Fashion back into a Phantom of the Phantom of the Opera evening gown. He took out the [knowledge] he had previously ruined and prepared for another major construction.

In fact, ever since he obtained these [consciousness], he had been very curious about whether there was any difference between using pure [consciousness] to Smelt items and using [consciousness] imprinted with personal marks. However, he had previously suppressed his curiosity because he was worried that he would not have enough [consciousness]. Now that the Supernatural Tale Fire had been ignited, these pure [consciousness] were just better quality fuel. Using them to Smelt Phantom Object could be considered making the Make the Best Use of Everything.

With this in mind, Feng Xue immediately went out of her house and made a large purchase in the desolate Landfill Area.

It wasn't that he didn't purchase supplies in reality, but rather that the [consciousness] contained within True Thing was simply too much; if he used them as a foundation, the pure [consciousness] would be meaningless.

Since we need to control variables, we should use False Thing that contains less information as the basis.

"Let's start with the standard procedure." Feng Xue took out a pistol and placed it on the table; he had bought it by weight from a scrap metal yard.

In Infinite City, firearms are weapons in an extremely awkward position; unless they are Phantom Object, they are all dirt cheap.

However, the firearms salvaged from these Garbage Dump often come with elements such as [weapons] and [projectiles], making them quite suitable as the base for ranged Phantom Object.

Feng Xue selected the [Fatal] weapon attribute from his resource library and entered the Reforge Trait. However, this time, he did not select the [Identity] attributes that contained personal imprints, but instead threw a dozen relatively pure [Identity] attributes into the drop-off slot.

[Knowledge] and [Element] swirled into the pistol, but without causing any change in appearance. However, the [Fatal] element did appear on the weapon.

"So, if the [knowledge] is purer, the probability of element mutation can be reduced?" Feng Xue's lips curled up slightly. If it really was possible to control the variables, then could her treasured Time Stop pocket watch be successfully Reforge?

Feng Xue was quite excited, but one success didn't mean anything. He browsed through the resource library and selected a [camouflage] element that didn't quite match the weapon.

Another dozen or so [knowledge] points were invested, but this time, the weapon's form clearly began to change. It transformed from a refined, industrially aesthetically pleasing semi-automatic pistol—though its model was unclear—into a... camera?

"How could it be a camera?" Feng Xue's expression turned strange, but then she suddenly remembered a Jackie Chan movie she had seen in her previous life, and immediately realized. "Could it be one of those spy guns disguised as cameras in 'Who Am I'?"

Thinking of this, he immediately switched his Golden Finger to appraisal mode, and his expression instantly became strange.

Name: Phantom Object - Famous Spear - Abe no Hirakiri Ya

Elements: [Weapons], [Disguise], [Lethality], [Assassin], [Projectiles]

Synopsis: An incredibly crude, handcrafted firearm, yet it gained fame due to a successful assassination.

For some reason, although it doesn't resemble a camera at all, this gun would be mistaken for one by anyone other than its owner before it was fired.

This gun can only target people of higher status than the wielder, and can only be fired twice at each target. However, if it hits consecutively, it will trigger an instant-death effect.

Additionally, if it accidentally hits an object other than its intended target, the gun will destroy itself.

Note: The wrath of a commoner can spill blood within five steps, and the world will be draped in mourning.

As for short-range wall-running and straight-line walking after martial arts become widespread... that is definitely not allowed.

Or rather, the authorities will definitely introduce relevant laws or public security regulations, because if scaling walls and rooftops is allowed, the safety costs alone will be a problem.

Secondly, if everyone were to scale walls and roofs, it would be inevitable that problems would arise, such as breaking windows, dirtying tiles, or knocking over flowerpots from upstairs, which would then lead to a host of civil disputes.

Of course, when everyone masters qinggong (lightweight kung fu), there might be a special high-altitude qinggong route, and people who have obtained qinggong certification can use that route.

There might even be regulations stating that "only police officers and firefighters are allowed to scale walls."

Healing the loneliness of no one taking the bus...

Humans are inherently lazy. Why run on foot when you can ride in a car? If you're in a hurry, your legs are indeed faster, but riding in a car is ultimately more comfortable. Not to mention, many people have a terrible sense of direction, which is their lifelong enemy.

Even just to give the domestic auto industry a smooth transition, the government would have made every effort to ensure the automotive transportation system could continue operating for a short period. Otherwise, a large number of unemployed people in the auto industry would have created real social problems.

Of course, if you're using a basic navigation app to navigate, you don't need to worry about unscrupulous navigation systems leading you astray.
