The Missing Final Piece
In terms of sheer Combat Power, [The World] mecha isn't actually that powerful, and it's even inferior to Kamen Rider.
Moreover, the summoning has a three-minute delay, and even if the fall is equivalent to a "Great Wilderness Starfall", it is really not very useful.
However, after carefully scrutinizing the wording, Feng Xue noticed a very subtle detail about this thing. "Unparalleled power in its time."
In other words, this mech is considered to be the "Strongest Mecha of its time".
In other words, although its minimum guarantee is only a not-so-powerful Seventh Generation Unit in the Cyberpunk World, even if it were placed in the Gundam Fighting world, it could still hold its own against the God Gundam.
It doesn't matter in the Real World, but if we go to some space opera world in the future, this machine will unleash its true power.
Before this, the biggest use of this mecha for Feng Xue was that it was essentially classified as "armor" under the category of "protective gear," meaning it was suitable for Open Mouth, Close Eyes, and could also be linked with the Saint's Training Clothes.
Compared to this mecha that requires a specific environment to reach its maximum effect, the other Companion Phantom [Buffer Ball] is much simpler.
Name: Phantom Object - Buffer Ball
Elements: [Items], [Buffer], [Emergency]
Synopsis: An ordinary Buffer Ball, yet it became famous because the renowned tough-guy news anchor George Augustus could always pull it out of his pocket.
This item is an emergency tool. After pulling the safety pin and squeezing it forcefully, it will form an inflatable ball with a radius of 1.5 meters around the user's location within one second. This ball can protect the user from impact injuries, but it is not resistant to punctures or High Temperature.
Note: Not everyone is named George Augustus.
This Phantom Object is rather useless; it can only withstand impacts and is vulnerable to fire and sharp weapons. Furthermore, it only reaches its maximum effect when used by "George Augustus." Feng Xue felt that he probably wouldn't have many opportunities to use it. Its only advantage was that he could pull one out of his pocket whenever he wanted and sell them in bulk to the Yan Kingdom's government in the present world.
As for the Descent Rule the [Mayoral Election], Feng Xue simply couldn't be bothered with them. That's just how this world is; once Trait isn't maintained for a month or two, it loses its presence. Basically, it needs to be fed with the [knowledge] of other Trait. If it weren't for Trait like Kamen Rider and Martial Transmitter being major producers of [knowledge], he wouldn't even dare to create Trait in this world. Otherwise, if he wasn't careful, he would end up like Old Li, unable to support his Trait and becoming completely despondent.
However, as things stand, whether it's [Research a Ghost], [Atypical Streamer], or [Super ACE-Class Iron-Blooded Tough Guy], they are all incredibly powerful functional Trait, so investing in them is definitely worthwhile.
After immersing himself in the Supernatural Tale Fire and maximizing his daily limit, Feng Xue continued his work of portraying four different characters.
So far, although it has only been two months, his gains in this world can be described as substantial. However, the final link in his plan to fight against the Hundred Tales is still a little short.
However, I believe it won't be too long.
"Therefore, if you want to catch ghosts, you must first abandon those outdated ideas. Don't treat it as metaphysics or Cannot Be Understood, and don't think there's anything to be afraid of. It's essentially something like bacteria or viruses. Understand it correctly, and then use reasonable means to eliminate it. This is the way of thinking that a modern person should learn."
Feng Xue, now reborn as Dunn Simone, is still working hard to teach the audience some techniques for fighting "ghosts" as part of the final step in his plan. As time goes by, his Gu Poison Body has also spread to hundreds of city-states via intercity transportation.
As the legends of ghosts and monsters spread, they grew ever wider. In fact, in the past few days, the Blackthorn Ghost Catching Agency even received ghost-hunting requests from other city-states.
However, neither Dunn Simone nor Leon had any intention of taking the job, not because they were too busy, but because they were waiting for a big news story.
The usual practice is to wrap the Gu Poison Body in Preservative Film and then auction it online. However, today, there are significantly fewer buyers for the ghost, and most of them are conglomerates and research institutes from other cities. The delivery method is also intercity express delivery.
Feng Xue was well aware of the trickery involved, but he had no intention of exposing it. He simply joined the audience in speculating whether local companies had already purchased enough samples.
However, there are always some strange viewers in this world who put forward novel and unspeakable opinions.
For example--
Ghosts are also a resource; laws should be enacted to prohibit the loss of cities due to ghosts!
Alright, Feng Xue could already imagine that in the future, there might be absurd things like "ghosts' lives are also lives" or "ghost protection organizations".
Dunn's ghost-hunting livestream continues, Leon also promotes products from companies selling Preservative Film and chocolate every now and then, and Burrlett continues to Tough Talk on screen to highlight his character. Only George Augustus has begun to gradually fade from the audience's view.
It wasn't because he stopped broadcasting, but because after that battle, no one tried to assassinate him anymore.
Without viral content, there's no attention, and the revenue from those Trait begins to shrink rapidly.
In other words, Feng Xue had enough [knowledge] to feed it; otherwise, this thing would have gone out of business in just a few days.
However, that's the troublesome thing Weird Tale ghost stories. The more developed the media in a world, the easier it is to create them, but correspondingly, the faster they become outdated.
The more isolated a world is, the more difficult it is for Weird Tale to be created, but the longer Weird Tale, the more enduring they become.
Days passed, and finally, in the second week after Augustus's famous battle, Dunn Simone received a guest at Black Thorn Security Company—
"Hello Mr. Dunn, I am Sai Chi from the Mystery Financial Group. I am here today to entrust you with a task."
Listening to the man's self-introduction, Dunn Simone clasped his hands in front of him and calmly said as always:
"Could you tell me the details of the task?"
"Of course." Sai Chi nodded, his expression slightly stiff as he took a stack of documents from his briefcase and placed them on the coffee table between them, explaining as he did so:
"You should remember the Gambling Ghost that the Ziguang Consortium commissioned you to capture, right?"
"Of course, I remember that the Gambling Ghost ended up being acquired by the Konstantin Company, right...? Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, the Mystery Financial Group seems to be the parent company of the Konstantin Company?" Dunn asked pointedly. Sai Chi didn't mince words, nodding in agreement.
"That's right, this mission is related to that Gambling Ghost..."
