Getting Ready to Play Something Fun
After figuring out the meaning and underlying principles of the Trait "[Research a Ghost]", the first thing Feng Xue did was not to immediately change her identity and pretend to be something else, but to add a layer of "[Incomprehensible]" debuff to each Gu Poison Body through consciousness descent.
This left the researchers at the institute even more perplexed.
They could initially tell that this thing was a bioenergy polymer, but now they're almost completely unfamiliar with the meaning of "bioenergy."
From a certain perspective, this [incomprehensible] power is somewhat similar to the "difficult to grasp the root cause" theory used in the fanfiction community of my previous life to explain the bugs in the ACG worldview (no need to look it up, the author just made it up).
Simply put, the closer something is to the truth of the world, the harder it is to learn. For example, in the Real World, technology is close to the truth of the world, so climbing the technology tree is relatively difficult. In the Yu-Gi-Oh!- Oh! world, playing cards is closer to the truth of the world, so learning to play cards is very difficult, while climbing the technology tree is much easier.
However, from this perspective, this ability, combined with the Weird Tale that "Yan Country People Know Martial Arts," could even form a peculiar combination technique.
As long as this ability is activated on oneself, who has defined martial arts in the Real World, everything related to the concept of martial arts can become extremely difficult to understand. However, the Weird Tale that "Yan Country People Know Martial Arts" allows people of Yan Kingdom to quickly reach the level of "knowing" any technique, no matter how incomprehensible it may be.
In this way, it will be very difficult for anyone other than the people of Yan to learn martial arts, and martial arts will eventually be solidified into a racial skill.
However, considering that this would make it difficult to recognize her own existence, Feng Xue couldn't help but abandon the idea.
But in that instant, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind; he felt a sudden Qingming in his head, and he suddenly grasped a new application—
Could this power be used to circumvent unwanted Trait?
As we all know, having more Trait in Weird Tale isn't necessarily better. If you accumulate all sorts of miscellaneous Trait, it will not only slow down your progress but also create many weaknesses. Although you can choose to remove them through "not digesting + resurrection," you will still have to go through the resurrection process. And before that, you will still be targeted by special attacks.
"Hmm, blocking only a portion is a bit difficult; the precision isn't enough and needs improvement. However, on the other hand, if used in battle, it could be used to conceal Supernatural Tale Entry, making oneself less vulnerable to being targeted."
Thinking of this, Feng Xue's mood improved greatly. He immediately changed his appearance, adjusted his clothes, and began preparing for the next script.
Today's live stream is a little different from usual, because this time, he's going to do something different.
"Mr. Oseus, you've finally arrived!"
Inside a cleared-out casino in No Man's Land 33, a well-dressed middle-aged man spoke with slight impatience. Oseus, the third member of the Blackthorn Ghost Catching Agency, formerly a real estate agent in the Rhine River and now a livestreaming host for a well-known chocolate manufacturer, straightened his silk tie and smiled.
"No, the contract stipulates that the time is 5:30 PM, and there are still five minutes and sixteen seconds left until the contract time. I haven't even started the live stream yet."
"..." As the owner of this casino, the middle-aged man was considered a member of the underworld. However, considering that the other party was not only involved in the untapped "ghost hunting" industry, but also a veteran of the Blackthorn Ghost Catching Agency with the potential to become a rule-maker in the industry, and had sales contracts with several well-known companies, and was also a star anchor working for Dore Media, he felt he couldn't afford to offend the man who was making a living in No Man's Land. In the end, he could only suppress his anger and said in a somewhat troubled tone:
"But that ghost is far too dangerous. It has already killed seven dealers in a row, and now no one in the entire casino dares to come. Every extra minute we wait means losing thousands upon thousands of Credit Point!"
"Come on, do you think your casino makes tens of millions a day?" Oseus rolled his eyes, slowly tidying up his ghost-hunting tools and adjusting his camera equipment before walking into the casino.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man wanted to follow, but seemed to be afraid of the ghost in the casino, so he could only stand outside and wait for this Ghost Catching Master, who was almost two different people from the one on the live stream, to solve the problem inside.
Oseus, upon entering the casino, didn't immediately go looking for the ghost. He turned on his terminal, stared at the clock, and waited until the live broadcast time was approaching before opening the Live Broadcast Room. His previously aloof expression instantly transformed into a warm and friendly smile.
"Good evening, everyone. This is Oseus's Ghost Hunting Live Broadcast Room. Today, we're hunting ghosts at the Golden Rose Casino in the No. 33 No Man's Land. The owner here said that a few days ago, a Gambling Ghost appeared out of nowhere—well, not just a figure of speech, but a real gambling ghost. Our goal this time is to catch this Gambling Ghost."
[I don't care what kind of ghost you're catching, I'm just curious what kind of merchandise you're bringing today.]
[The chocolate I recommended last time was quite delicious, it's just a pity I didn't encounter any ghosts, so I couldn't try its ghost-repelling effect.]
[I tried it, it didn't work at all, and I was chased by a ghost for over 4,000 kilometers.]
Good grief, are you a sentient aircraft or a sentient subway? Over 4,000 kilometers? Didn't that kill you?
Despite the flood of comments, Oseus remained remarkably calm. He casually pulled a short sword from his briefcase as if presenting a treasure, and said—
"This is the weapon series produced by Charlie Chocolate Company. It uses nanotechnology to shape the chocolate, so it will never melt as long as the packaging is not opened. It is made with natural cocoa butter and contains no cocoa butter substitutes. It is also soft and safe. Even if you hit it hard, it will not hurt your Zi Shou. It is an excellent choice as a toy or as a snack. The only problem is that a whole bar may contain a lot of chocolate... But these days, who buys only one piece of chocolate?"
As Oseus recited the advertising slogan, he wielded his Chocolate Sword with dazzling flourishes, the sword moving like clouds and illusions, sometimes like a swimming dragon, sometimes like shimmering water, instantly attracting a flurry of donations and a barrage of homogenized comments that perfectly captured the essence of humanity.
I bought the chocolate, but where can I learn Sword Technique?
"The Sword Technique is very simple. Buy ten boxes of chocolates in this Live Broadcast Room now and get a free Sword Technique tutorial. Limited quantity, while supplies last, don't miss out!"
Oseus, seizing the opportunity, made empty promises and incidentally added an "incomprehensible" buff to his Sword Technique before passing through the chip exchange and arriving at the hall with its set-top gambling tables.
Meanwhile, the so-called Gambling Ghost was floating in front of a dice table, amusing himself by shaking the dice.
