Return to Reality

Chapter 46: Returning to Reality

After reviewing all the rewards.

Wu Xian was about to worship the gods.

He inserted three premium incense sticks into three god statues, and immediately nine items appeared, formed from smoke, water vapor, and blood.

Each item emanated a silver light.

This gave Wu Xian further insight.

It seemed that if you used premium incense to worship a premium god statue, the items obtained would definitely be premium. If you used ordinary incense to worship a premium god statue, the items obtained might be premium or ordinary.

Next, Wu Xian examined the nine items one by one. He needed to choose one to take to the next blessed land.

This way, he could familiarize himself with its effects in advance, providing a basis for future choices.

"Hurry, as per the decree!"

Wu Xian mused slightly.

Could this extra arm be the added fixed position?

Secondly, its versatility was very strong, usable in basically any blessed land, and its effects were very flexible.

Julius Caesar's sword was originally just a decorative sword, but empowered by the faith of countless people, it could be called a divine artifact. Wounds inflicted by this sword had a chance to trigger the 'instant death' effect, with the probability decreasing for stronger individuals.

But in a blessed land, survival was paramount.

This wooden fish could not be used in combat, and its peculiar shape made it inconvenient to carry, drawing too much attention to the holder. Wu Xian feared he might earn yin virtue but not live to spend it.

Wu Xian returned home through the void's doorway.

"What I say is law, what I decree is law, go!"

He skimmed through all this information and casually chose the flame talisman and the fist technique.

He activated the 'fist technique' divine ability and attached the flame talisman to his fist. He began practicing in the vast wilderness, his fists moving as if on fast-forward. To onlookers, only countless afterimages would be visible. The power of his punches far surpassed that of ordinary martial artists, each swing accompanied by roaring red flames.

He simply focused on tidying up his home.

Yellow Death:

This meant the Ten Souls Banner had been recorded in the fixed position.

After this was done.

Made from the branches of the Soul Returning Tree, striking it could soothe the soul. For the deceased, striking it while chanting scriptures could increase yin virtue.

This book is a suspenseful roguelike infinite flow novel.

Before this, how had he survived in this pigsty for so long?

"Looking at it this way, it's not just the combination effect that gave the last true fire incantation I brought out such power. Premium items are inherently very potent..."

Suddenly, Wu Xian noticed his statue.

All the files were burned, old furniture and appliances were sold cheaply to scrap collectors, and then replaced with higher-quality alternatives.

Among them, the Heavenly Official Emperor gave a talisman.

This long sword was incredibly cool, truly a man's best toy, and its power was also very strong. If he got lucky and triggered the instant death effect, it could end the blessed land run right there.

The fun was over.

Anyway, this divine ability talisman couldn't be brought outside, so it was better to waste it here.

Wu Xian no longer felt any fascination for this endless wilderness and turned to step through the doorway.

Now that he had the banner, how could he bring it into the next blessed land? How should he utilize that fixed position?

Wu Xian looked around, confirmed no one was watching, and began to strike various poses with a chuckle, placing the magic banner on his head, even trying to swallow it, accompanied by some chuunibyou-esque pronouncements.

In the last blessed land, Wu Xian survived thanks to the copper coin sword, so this time he wanted to choose his magic treasures carefully.

However, after enduring the embarrassment and trying for a while, Wu Xian found no change, which made him blush slightly.

Each round was a fresh start, creating tension and making the story easier to develop.

Over the next few days, the previously dilapidated two-story building had completely transformed...

If the protagonist's strength increased, it would quickly lead to a loss of suspense due to the protagonist becoming too powerful.

He had to defuse the bomb in the room first!

The following days.

If the protagonist's strength did not increase, it would lead to the problem of readers losing the sense of satisfaction.

Wu Xian had never considered himself a lucky person, so he reluctantly shifted his gaze from the long sword to the last magic banner.

Wu Xian did nothing.

They were the 'Spray Wine Fire Extinguishing Technique' for putting out fires, the 'Flame Talisman' to enhance fire energy, and the 'Duplication Technique' to copy a talisman in hand.

Wu Xian stretched his limbs. He had many things he wanted to do, but first...

This is super fun!

If the conditions are right, encountering a large-scale death event can accumulate a massive amount of yin virtue.

A guaranteed controllable wandering wraith, capable of countless deeds. It can also collect souls within a blessed land to expand the upper limit of the ten souls banner's effects.

Then Wu Xian gave up on the yellow death.

The stone statue had changed from before, now with an extra arm, its palm open as if holding something.

One of the characteristics of roguelike mode is that the gains from each run do not accumulate. Every time is a fresh start.

Soul-Soothing Wooden Fish:

"Premium items are indeed far superior to ordinary ones. If I had this set in the blessed land before, I wouldn't have been in such a sorry state against the door-breaking wraith."

In the Thirty-Three Heavens of Sorrow, Wu Xian had only one thing left to do.

Firstly, this item isn't large. Rolling up the banner allows it to be easily hidden on one's person without hindering movement.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Xian first abandoned the Soul-Soothing Wooden Fish.

He checked the time. The date was March 24th, 6 AM. This meant that after experiencing so many days in the blessed land, only six hours had passed in reality.

The detective agency was very old. The walls, floor, and furniture were all weathered. The windowsills, desks, and chairs were piled with messy files. Scattered wires connected various alarms and cameras. In a corner against the wall, there was a simple bed.

What Wu Xian was most concerned about was magic treasures.

Don't imagine how great Wu Xian feels right now, because you can't even imagine how great he feels!

Finally, Wu Xian mimicked a certain famous anime character, and the flames on his hands gradually extinguished. The effects of the flame talisman and the fist technique disappeared.

But just like how Wu Xian had previously given up on 'Peng's Eye', probability was truly annoying.

The mattress needs to be electric, the pillow needs to have massage functions, the quilt needs to be goose down, the computer needs to be top-of-the-line, the toilet needs to be smart...

So, Wu Xian fished out this small banner from the mist.

Secondly...

Covering his nose, his brow furrowed.

It was also his home.

Neither the talismans nor the divine abilities were what Wu Xian wanted.

Everything was renovated, and finally, professional cleaners were hired to clean the entire room. The total cost of the renovations almost used up half of Wu Xian's savings.

They were the 'Shadow Technique' divine ability that allowed one to hide in shadows, the 'Fist Technique' divine ability that greatly increased physical strength, and the 'Mystic Turtle Armor' divine ability that increased defense.

Wu Xian looked through them one by one, information flooding his mind.

Fresh morning light streamed into the Infinite Detective Agency through the frosted floral glass.

I want to seek a balance between the two, so I chose roguelike mode.

After the god worship ended, Wu Xian discovered that the incense burners in front of the three god statues had all disappeared. This meant that each time he returned from the blessed land, he could worship gods at most three times.

In front of the Water Official Statue, three wisps of misty vapor floated, shaped like a golden long sword, a round wooden fish, and a black and red small banner.

Ten Souls Banner:

A magic banner capable of containing ten soul-type evil spirits. The banner comes with one wandering wraith. The rest must be collected independently. Releasing soul-type evil spirits allows for an absolute command to be issued once, lasting no longer than ten minutes.

Wu Xian thought for a moment and placed the Ten Souls Banner in the palm of the stone sculpture. The palm slowly closed, and the Ten Souls Banner also turned into stone.

Painting the wooden floor, decorative plants, lighting, toilets...

This was Wu Xian's detective agency.

When I read mystery novels, I feel that many mystery novels easily fall into a dilemma.

The Earth Official Emperor gave divine abilities.

The protagonist's strength can be rapidly increased within each run, so people won't feel dissatisfied.

Therefore, regarding the protagonist's strength, I will not let his strength inflate infinitely.
