Large-Scale Construction Is Not So Easy to Produce Miracles

Although the process was a bit awkward, through this "Phantom · Remote Control Toy" with Elements like [Mini], [Shock], [Happy], [Toy], and a certain kind of Female Special Attack, Feng Xue finally confirmed his guess.

First, the Element entries of the phantom itself are indeed influenced by the base material before smelting, but this influence isn't always a direct copy. For example, the [Mini] entry of the remote control toy should have been influenced by the "Miniature Book."

Second, when re-casting an item, the [Knowledge] it originally possesses has a considerable impact on its composition. For instance, the pages used to create the Miniature Book were probably from the latter half of the original work's first chapter. Everyone understands this kind of book, whether it's a plot-driven one or purely explicit; the first chapter always has something eye-catching to show the author's skill in that area.

And this page, because it's usually what the author polishes for a long time before starting the book, is often one of the easiest sections to exploit in a book.

It goes without saying what [Knowledge] would condense on this page, so Feng Xue wasn't too surprised to have it condense into a remote control toy after a moment's thought.

Well, it was still quite subtle.

"It seems that in the future, when re-casting True Things, I must consider the type of [Knowledge] they originally possess. Moreover, if I want to refine what I desire, investing a large amount of [Knowledge] and Elements to dilute the original [Knowledge] is also necessary."

Feng Xue muttered his conclusions to himself and casually stuffed the pink remote control toy into Chen Xiyao's hand.

"Ah! Why are you giving this to me?!" Chen Xiyao's face immediately turned red when the remote control toy was thrust into her hands. She flailed about in a panic, but Feng Xue said nonchalantly:

"This thing has a Female Special Attack, it's no use to me, so you can play with it. When you go back and read books like this again, you can use it to spice things up..."

Chen Xiyao was furious upon hearing this and wanted to throw away the toy she had only seen in movies and novels. However, after careful consideration, she didn't lash out, her face still flushed.

Well, how to put it, she was quite curious about this thing.

Feng Xue didn't really care whether Chen Xiyao accepted it or not. Anyway, he had no use for it. Although the description said it had a "Female Special Attack" and could put the target into a weak and powerless state, making it easier to trigger defeat CGs if loaded correctly, the problem was, if I can already load it, why would I bother with a debuff? Wouldn't it be better to just use my ultimate move directly?

While Feng Xue was complaining about the impracticality of the pink toy, Chen Xiyao's hand holding it suddenly trembled. It wasn't that the toy had accidentally activated, but because she noticed a problem, her eyes widened:

"You just said... go back? Go back where? To my original world? I can go back?!"

Seeing Chen Xiyao suddenly become a bit hysterical, Feng Xue just rubbed his head and said with a blank, innocent expression:

"Huh? Didn't I tell you? As long as you can get back to the Gate you came through, you can go back!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Chen Xiyao felt her brain start to boil. She had been in this world for almost a week. The initial excitement and thrill of transmigrating had long since faded, leaving only nostalgia for her original world. Hearing Feng Xue say she could go home made her entire demeanor change.

"Because each Gate needs to be closed and then wait for twenty-four hours before it can be opened again. And that Gate should be guarded by the Cross Sword Guild now, so it would be difficult for us to get close even if I told you."

Feng Xue spread his hands, delivering a heavy blow to Chen Xiyao's newly ignited hope. He then continued to ponder on his own, his current focus being on how to use the rules he had just discovered to create useful Items.

He touched the CD that he didn't know where to put, and Feng Xue had an idea. He spoke to Chen Xiyao, who was still preoccupied with the matter of going home:

"Does the protagonist in this book have any Storage Items?"

"Ah... oh, probably. It's standard equipment for transmigration to another world, isn't it? I remember he could get a ring just by killing someone..." Chen Xiyao was taken aback by Feng Xue's sudden question but quickly responded.

Feng Xue was quite satisfied with the girl's ability to quickly understand the situation and accept reality. He immediately took the book, which he had completely disassembled, and began searching for the corresponding passages, selecting pages where Storage Equipment appeared frequently.

This book had thousands of pages, with over eight hundred characters on each side of every page. Selecting them was clearly a tedious task. Fortunately, Feng Xue and Chen Xiyao had nothing else to do each day besides taking care of the girl's physiological needs, so they could calmly search for the parts they needed.

Although Storage Items appeared in many places, in the end, they were just standard tools. The focus was usually on what was stored inside when they were mentioned. It wasn't easy to find passages that made readers focus on the Storage Item itself.

However, web novels have a characteristic: whatever appears for the first time is always described in great detail, but as the frequency increases, its rarity decreases, and the writing becomes less elaborate.

This novel, which Feng Xue considered very formulaic, with only the parts that would later be censored being written well, followed this pattern.

He placed the seven or eight selected pages in front of him and, after a moment's thought, began to reshape them into various forms. Fortunately, paper is very easy to modify, and since Feng Xue had also played with origami in his past life, he quickly created seven or eight different styles of items.

There were paper boxes and paper wallets that looked like they could hold things, as well as more abstract but highly similar semi-circular paper pockets to the item in front of a certain blue cat, and of course, paper bracelets and paper rings representing the concept.

Among them, the paper rings, which used the least amount of paper, Feng Xue made over a dozen. They were lined up on the table, and if one ignored their paper nature, it could almost look like a jewelry store.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Feng Xue looked at his creations with anticipation. Since he intended to use the [Knowledge] attached to the paper itself, he didn't invest much [Knowledge], only simply investing the [Storage] Element to lock the phantom type.

This Element wasn't uncommon. If you went to any tailor shop, the backpacks you bought would basically have this Element. Feng Xue had even suspected if this was a failed attempt by tailors to create Storage-type phantoms.

However, the results proved that even re-casting True Things doesn't always result in phantoms. Out of a total of over thirty items, only three became phantoms. The rest, like the pocket watch from before, accumulated a large amount of Elements but showed no signs of becoming phantoms. Since True Things couldn't be smelted, Feng Xue could only put them away one by one, intending to use them as future sustenance.
