After looking through all the rewards.
Wu Xian was ready to worship the gods.
He took three sticks of premium incense and inserted one into each of the three statues. At once, nine items appeared, formed from smoke, water vapor, and blood.
A glimmer of silver light shone from each item.
This gave Wu Xian a new insight.
It seemed that worshipping premium statues with premium incense guaranteed premium items, while using ordinary incense on premium statues could yield either premium or ordinary items.
Wu Xian then examined the nine items one by one. He had to choose one to take into his next blessed land.
For one thing, he could familiarize himself with its effects in advance, giving him a basis for future choices.
"Urgent as the laws decree!"
Wu Xian mused.
Could this extra arm be the additional Fixed Position?
Its versatility was another advantage. It could be used in almost any blessed land, and its effects were highly flexible.
Julius Caesar's sword had originally been a ceremonial blade. But after being imbued with the faith of countless people, it could be called a Divine Artifact. Wounds inflicted by this sword had a chance of triggering the 'Instant Death' effect. The stronger the victim, the lower the chance.
But in a blessed land, survival mattered most.
The wooden fish couldn't be used in battle, and its strange shape made it difficult to carry. It would make its owner stand out too much. Wu Xian feared he might earn Yin Virtue only to die before he could spend it.
Wu Xian returned home through the door in the void.
"My words are commands, my commands are laws—go!"
He skimmed through all the information, then casually chose the Flame Talisman and Fist Technique.
He activated the 'Fist Technique' Divine Ability and attached the Flame Talisman to his fist. Then, alone in the vast wilderness, he began practicing his punches. His fists seemed to have a speed boost enabled; all anyone could see were countless afterimages. Each blow struck with far more force than an ordinary martial artist's, and every punch came wreathed in blazing 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.
That done,
it was made from the branches of the Soul Returning Tree. Striking it could soothe souls, and chanting scriptures while striking it for the dead could earn Yin Virtue.
This book is a suspenseful roguelike infinite-flow novel.
How had he managed to live in this pigsty for so long?
"Looking at it this way, the True Fire Incantation I brought out last time was so powerful not just because it triggered a combination effect. Premium items are powerful to begin with..."
Suddenly, Wu Xian noticed his stone statue.
He burned all the files, sold the old furniture and appliances for cheap to a scrap dealer, then bought higher-end replacements.
The Heaven Official Emperor had given him talismans.
The long sword looked incredibly cool—practically every man's favorite toy—and it was powerful, too. If he got lucky and triggered Instant Death, he could end the blessed land right then and there.
He'd had his fun.
Anyway, Divine Ability talismans couldn't be taken into the outside world, so he might as well use them up here.
Wu Xian no longer felt any attachment to this endless wilderness. He turned and stepped through the doorway.
Now that he had a flag, how could he take it into the next blessed land? How was he supposed to use that Fixed Position?
Wu Xian looked around. After making sure nobody was there, he began striking all sorts of poses and muttering "hee-yah" and "ha!" He tried placing the Magic Banner on his head, then even attempted to swallow it, all while spouting chuunibyou lines.
But after suppressing his embarrassment and trying for a while, nothing happened. His face flushed a little.
In the previous blessed land, Wu Xian had survived thanks to the Copper Coin Sword. So this time, he had to choose his Magic Treasure carefully.
Each round started over from scratch, which created tension and made it easier to unfold the story.
After several days, the once-dilapidated two-story Small Building had been completely transformed...
If I made the protagonist stronger, it wouldn't take long for his overwhelming strength to undermine the suspense.
First, he had to defuse the bomb in his room!
Over the next few days,
If I didn't make the protagonist stronger, readers would lose that sense of satisfaction.
Wu Xian had never considered himself lucky, so he reluctantly tore his eyes away from the long sword and looked at the final Magic Banner.
Wu Xian did nothing.
They were the Spray Wine Fire Extinguishing Technique, which could put out fires; the Flame Talisman, which could strengthen fire; and the Duplication Technique, which could copy a talisman in the user's hand.
Wu Xian stretched his limbs. He had many things he wanted to do, but first...
This is so much fun!
If the conditions were right and he encountered a large-scale death event, this thing could accumulate a tremendous amount of Yin Virtue.
At minimum, it came with one Wandering Wraith under absolute control, capable of all kinds of things. It could also collect souls in a blessed land to increase the Ten Souls Banner's upper limit.
Then Wu Xian gave up on Yellow Death as well.
The stone statue had changed. It now had an extra arm, its open palm held out as if it were carrying something.
One of the defining features of Roguelike Mode was that the rewards from each round didn't carry over. Every round started from scratch.
Soul-Soothing Wooden Fish:
"Premium items really are much stronger than ordinary ones. If I'd had a set like this in the previous blessed land, I wouldn't have been so helpless against the Door-Breaking Wraith."
There was only one thing left for Wu Xian to do in Thirty-Three Lihentian.
After checking the time, he saw that it was six in the morning on March 24. In other words, he had spent many days in the blessed land, but only six hours had passed in reality.
The Detective Agency was old. Its walls, floors, and furniture had all seen better days. Files were piled haphazardly on the windowsills, tables, chairs, and floorboards. Loose wires connected various alarms and cameras, and a crude bed sat in the corner against the wall.
Wu Xian was most interested in the Magic Treasures.
Don't even try to imagine how great Wu Xian felt right now, because none of you can imagine it!
In the end, Wu Xian cosplayed as a character from a famous anime. Only then did the flames around his hands gradually die out, and the effects of the Flame Talisman and Fist Technique disappeared.
But, just as he'd given up on Peng's Eye before, he couldn't stand relying on probability.
He wanted an electric mattress, a massaging pillow, a goose-down comforter, a fully specced-out computer, a smart toilet...
So Wu Xian fished the little flag out of the water vapor.
Secondly...
He covered his nose and frowned.
It was his home, too.
The talismans and Divine Abilities weren't what Wu Xian wanted.
They were Shadow Technique, the Ghost Divine Ability that let a person hide inside a shadow; Fist Technique, the Human Divine Ability that greatly increased Martial Strength; and Black Tortoise Shell, the Demon Divine Ability that increased defense.
Wu Xian looked through them one by one as information flooded his mind.
Fresh morning light streamed through the frosted floral glass and into the Infinite Detective Agency.
When I read suspense novels,
I feel like a lot of them get trapped in a dilemma.
The Earth Official Emperor had given him a Divine Ability.
The protagonist's strength could increase quickly within each round, so readers wouldn't feel unsatisfied.
So when it comes to the protagonist's strength, I won't let it grow without limit.
