The Sound Attack Master Who Played with Coffin Boards
Trait: The Sound Attack Master who plays with coffin boards
Tag: [All-rounder], [Craftsman], [Musician], [Master], [Teacher], [Coffin board]
Synopsis: In this cross-generational, fully immersive virtual reality game, there is a magical NPC who lives at the entrance of the Beginner Village, Big Locust Tree Village. On the surface, he is a musician who makes musical instruments from Coffin board, and at the same time, he is a carpenter in Big Locust Tree Village who provides small items to villagers and players.
However, according to the speculation of meticulous players, he may be Hidden NPC with a huge quest chain. He has powerful Combat Power, and the Wooden Sword he casually makes from scraps can rival the Divine Weapon that can cut through iron like mud.
According to the guides from other players, as long as you have enough musical literacy, you can become his apprentice and learn various sound-based attack skills.
What's most fascinating is that as long as you provide the corresponding blueprints, he can make the instrument and quickly master it—as long as it doesn't require electricity.
Powers: [Search According to Map], [Imparting Knowledge and Teaching], [Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart]
Real World Rules: [Skill Tutor]
"It's done, but isn't this Trait a bit outrageous?" Standing on the street in the "Real World," Feng Xue felt the newly formed Trait she had created, with salt constantly flashing between her left and right hands.
The Trait itself is rather unremarkable, after all, it's a game NPC, and in the eyes of players, it's similar to "[blue][street food stall plastic chair][red]". If you had to say something, it's more of a Weird Tale a gimmick, and the three powers are all abilities that Feng Xue herself already possesses.
The power [Search According to Map], which carries a slightly negative connotation, allows him to create physical objects based on blueprints. As long as the blueprints are authentic, he can create even the most outrageous things. However, it overlaps with Xuanjun's [Masterful Creation], and Masterful Creation doesn't even require blueprints and can even be optimized.
[Imparting Knowledge and Teaching] is a teaching ability, but Feng Xue can now reliably produce books with Trait. If it weren't for the concern about adding some strange rules to the world, manually creating manuals wouldn't be difficult. Compared to teaching little by little, directly creating skill books is obviously more convenient.
As for the talent of [Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart], it would definitely be a top-tier talent for humans, because it grants an exceptional learning ability, allowing one to learn quickly as long as the learning conditions are met.
The problem is that Feng Xue is a Weird Tale. He doesn't even need to learn a skill. As long as others think he knows it, he knows it. Although learning is easier after having this power, he doesn't think it's necessary to cultivate Trait specifically for this power.
Not only the Trait, but even the Companion Phantom in this Weird Tale is utterly baffling. Feng Xue originally thought she could conjure a manufacturing tool or a main weapon capable of transforming into any musical instrument, but instead, she conjured a Coffin board—
Name: Phantom Object - Endless Coffin board
Elements: [Unlimited], [Materials], [Items], [Weapons], [Coffin board]
Synopsis: The signature prop of the Sound Attack Master who plays with coffin boards. Because of his musical instrument making skills, this Skill Tutor has accumulated a large number of high-quality Coffin board. Depending on the instrument to be made, he can always pull out Coffin board made of the corresponding wood, from paulownia and poplar to rosewood and nanmu, and occasionally even a piece of Darkwood.
Note: Although it's mainly used as a musical instrument, it can still hurt a lot if you hit someone with it!
Although she couldn't really criticize this thing, considering that it was a Phantom Object that could produce an unlimited amount of high-quality wood, Feng Xue carefully stuffed it into the Guitar Case. Well, after all, it had weapon properties, so even Coffin board could fit inside.
After calming herself down a bit, Feng Xue walked onto the street. This "Real World" wasn't very different from Chen Xiyao's "present world," except that the timelines were about six years apart. It was now 2022, and most people on the street were carrying various kinds of Smart Phone. The cars and electric bikes on the street were also very similar to those in the present world.
However, we cannot conclude that the two worlds are completely the same, since Feng Xue does not recognize any of the celebrities on the billboards, nor is Feng Xue familiar with the logos of those cars.
Although he could understand the language spoken by the passersby thanks to the power of the [Translation Konjac], he also understood that it was actually a language with grammar similar to Yan Country Language, but the written characters and pronunciation were still clearly different.
"I didn't feel any power from the Weird Tale!"
Feng Xue gently tapped his head, feeling somewhat disappointed. He had thought that after arriving in the real world, he would immediately sense traces of the Game Supernatural Tale, but now it seemed that he had clearly overestimated his abilities.
After a moment's thought, he slightly adjusted his [Hermit] powers to make himself look more like a local, then took out the Ambulance Demon's phone and began logging into the local network.
"The news of the final open beta Closed Beta of the martial arts world is everywhere, but why is there no reaction from any Weird Tale? I originally thought it would be one of those special supernatural Weird Tale that parasitize the internet!"
Feng Xue locked her phone and turned back to where she had arrived—a university.
The very existence of the Skill Tutor Real World Rules is one reason why Feng Xue dislikes this Trait, because the conditions are simply too demanding:
It requires a player with the identity of a player in the game "Jianghu" to "want to learn a certain skill", and Feng Xue herself to happen to have mastered that skill before she can descend.
While common sense dictates that the number of players will increase as the game develops, how many years can a game truly sustain itself? Even if the game is based on a Weird Tale, as it becomes less like a game and as that world is ravaged by the Fourth Natural Disaster, will players still log in just to see that devastated world?
Feng Xue never hesitated to speculate with the utmost malice about the Destructive Power of the Fourth Natural Disaster.
"But at least for now, there's no problem." Feng Xue glanced at the young players still in class, patiently waiting for the bell to ring. She wondered what the workings of the Game Helmet in this world were. If it was Phantom Object, that would be fine, but if it was True Thing made with authority, she wondered if she could replicate it. And if the replicated True Thing was given to Chen Xiyao, would it become False Thing...?
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, a Spiritual Light of inspiration struck Feng Xue, much like Conan getting his head blown off by a laser sniper rifle. A torrent of ideas surged forth, and in that instant, the [Search According to Map] ability, which he had previously disliked, suddenly became endearing.
The rain stopped, I changed the blanket, and ended up catching a cold. Only one chapter today, I'll make up for it tomorrow at noon... This weather is just awful...
