"Boss, I brought some things with me. See if you can figure them out." As Zhan Lan spoke, she took out spirit bullets, various talismans, blueprints for crafting spirit artifacts, and all the materials she had exchanged.

Richard took it and studied it for a while. The first one was the spirit bullet, which was the easiest to make; he could just replicate it one-to-one.

Those runes weren't even runes; they were merely very incomplete characters evolved from runes that had some effect.

Other things, like Daoist talismans, aren't too difficult either.

In short, the most important branch of cultivation methods in the infinite world is Rune Technology.

The most important aspects of this technology are computing power and Divine Power.

Each cultivator possesses an absurdly strong computing power, comparable to or even surpassing that of a cultivator above the fourth-order Gene Lock.

But for Richard, neither computing power nor Divine Power mattered.

If he had known more about cultivation techniques than the cultivators of this world, and if he hadn't been unfamiliar with Rune Technology, he would have created his own cultivation method long ago.

Richard put down the talisman in his hand and instead used Telekinesis to control the materials, easily replicating the spirit bullets and various talismans.

Compared to his original form, his manufacturing capabilities are now much weaker, so he needs to rely on materials that Zhan Lan exchanges for.

If it's the original body, it can easily transform the soil beneath its feet into various materials it desires.

Finally, there's the weapon that Zhan Lan has been longing for—a weapon highly lethal to spirits.

After seeing those spirit bullets and various talismans, Richard could actually create some weapons that could counter spirits without using the materials she exchanged.

The results were just not as ideal as expected.

After looking at the materials that Zhan Lan had brought, Richard selected several pieces of ore from them.

With a casual rub, he purified several pieces of ore, then used immense force to knead them into the shape of a sword. He then used his atomic-level Microscopic Control to engrave a series of miniature talismans on the sword, such as Diamond Talisman, Evil-Breaking Talisman, Spirit-Repelling Talisman Ghost-Slaying Talisman.

The sword was covered with a dense array of runes, yet they were so small as to be invisible.

As for the magical legendary weapon blueprints that Zhan Lan brought, Richard only glanced at them. The core was similar, but the effect was far inferior to the sword he had crafted.

"Hey, the weapon you wanted specifically designed to damage spirits. This sword's lethality against spirits is probably on par with a Rank B legendary magic weapon. Even if it's not used against spirits, but is used against any other enemy, it's probably on par with a Rank C legendary magic weapon."

After Richard finished polishing the sword, he handed it to Zhan Lan.

"Thank you, boss." Zhan Lan happily accepted the sword.

"What did you exchange for after you went back?"

Richard looked at Zhan Lan, whose appearance had changed drastically, with her hair and pupils turning silver and silver vertical lines appearing on her forehead, Richard with some curiosity.

"I got a B-grade Three-Eyed Clan Bloodline, a double B-grade Telekinesis, a storage bag, and a Vessel King. That's about it," Zhan Lan said.

"It's alright, a decent exchange, not bad at all. I can exchange it for a set of internal energy manuals when I get back. I'll practice those first, and once I've mastered the basics, I can switch to Feng Baobao's Old Farmer Art."

"Vessel King? Show it to me."

Richard first commented on her exchange, then became curious about the Vessel King and urged Zhan Lan to take it out for a look.

This is the beginner equipment that countless fanfiction masters always equip at the start of their games.

The tubular pulse gun, like the Gatling gun, has six barrels and is a type of electromagnetic catapult machine gun.

It has many advantages such as high rate of fire, long range, easy operation, and no jamming.

The unlimited ammo version makes it extremely cost-effective.

With this equipment, you can practically wreak havoc in sci-fi or zombie dungeons like Biohazard, Alien, and Starship Troopers.

The Vessel King deals Destruction to low- and mid-tier monsters, mobs, and buildings.

It's only relatively less effective when dealing with experts or those who control Divine Power.

Of course, this equipment doesn't make you invincible; for example, it's completely useless against intangible monsters.

Zhan Lan never intended to conquer the world with this equipment; it was merely a useful tool for clearing out minor enemies.

With this equipment, at least she no longer has to worry about having her Divine Power completely depleted by the minions.

Richard examined the equipment carefully.

There's not much else to say; he can create everything by hand. Don't underestimate the manual skills of a master at the fourth level of cultivation.

What's more, it's a powerful figure using a secondary account.

The unlimited ammo is a bit more complicated; he doesn't quite understand the principle behind it yet, but he can create something with a similar effect now.

The method is quite simple: fill a space with bullets beforehand, and then connect the gun's magazine to that space.

This ability might have been difficult for him before, but it became easy for him after he was promoted to No. 4 Middle School.

However, this can only be considered a pseudo-infinity; once the bullets in the space are used up, it will be gone.

It's quite different from the Infinite Bullets of the God Space. Richard studied the Vessel King of Infinite Bullets and felt that the Infinite Bullets of the God Space were still quite powerful.

This seems to involve high-end applications such as creating something from nothing and mass-energy conversion.

Of course, he only studied it out of curiosity; he no longer needs it.

To him, this "Vessel King" was no different from a toy.

After examining it for a while, he tossed it back to Zhan Lan.

"You bought your storage bag too early; I can make those myself now."

After awakening the Light of the Soul at the intermediate fourth level, he will be able to study the Great Dao Laws of this world with great convenience.

Although the laws governing this world are very different from the laws governing the Great Dao that the original body comprehends, they are not entirely without similarities.

Richard quickly mastered the fundamental principles of time, space, wind, water, life and death, and reincarnation, which were the areas he was most proficient in.

Therefore, he can now create his own Space Ring by hand.

Although it's not as convenient as the original, it's good enough to have something to use.

For example, he himself is currently wearing a Space Ring, although its capacity is not large, only a few hundred cubic meters.

But it's barely enough.

"I didn't expect you to improve so quickly, sir." Zhan Lan said with a bitter face. A C grade only adds 1500 Reward Points; this money felt a bit wasted.

"Alright, since you've already bought it, give it to your teammates. I'll give you one before you leave later," Richard said.

Space equipment is not something he can just whip up casually these days; it takes some time and careful crafting.

"Okay, thank you, boss." Zhan Lan thanked her again.

"Besides learning some Divine Power application techniques, are you also going to grind for points this time you've come back?"

Zhan Lan had used up most of the Side-Quest Plot and Reward Points she had accumulated, which is why Richard asked her if she wanted to keep grinding for points.

"No way, if I watch it again, I'm worried I'll die in a horror movie." Zhan Lan said helplessly.

The difficulty of the God Space can be adjusted; she couldn't even imagine how high her score would be in the Chief God's eyes now.

What Alien look like?

The original storyline, where the Central Continent Team experienced the Alien, was already an embellished version. What was originally just one Alien storyline was mutated into an Alien Queen leading a group of Alien.

Now that she's racked up so many points, I can't even imagine how the plot will mutate, or whether there will even be a plot at all.

It won't just appear on some Alien planet, will it?

If it weren't for the fact that the next horror movie had already been decided by the Chief God after they returned to the God Space, Zhan Lan suspected that the Chief God would have directly thrown them to face monsters of the level of Sadako, Kayako, and Freddy.

She hasn't unlocked enough yet. Both of her main ability systems have reached the B-level or even double B-level, but she has only unlocked the First-Order Gene Lock.

This level of Gene Lock isn't even enough to fully unleash the capabilities of a B-level being.

To fully utilize B-level abilities, at least a Second-Order Gene Lock is required.

Before unlocking the Second-Order Gene Lock, she doesn't plan to exchange for any more A-Rank- level abilities, because even if she did, she wouldn't be able to utilize them much.

"Alright, whatever. Are you ready? I'm about to begin the lesson."

"Are you ready? Shall we start teaching you now?" Zhan Lan asked curiously.

Richard casually hypnotized her, and he could easily use the same illusion techniques he used on Zhan Lan as his original self, such as Tsukuyomi.

He's a Fourth-Order Advanced Stage Divine Power controller, after all. Hypnotizing Zhan Lan, a first-tier B-level enhanced individual, would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

In the illusion, Richard taught Zhan Lan a series of Divine Power application techniques, including Mental Power Scan, Divine Power connection, Divine Power control, Divine Power whipping, and Psychic Shockwave.

I also taught her some techniques for using Telekinesis that I had figured out over this period of time.

They even designed a weapon that referenced the Divine Weapon, one of the divine weapons of the rulers of the Swallowed Star World.

He felt that this weapon was particularly suitable for Telekinesis users, so he designed one whenever he had free time.

This counterfeit divine weapon is also shaped like a stick over two meters long. It can be broken down into more than a thousand small swords, which can be combined into eighty-one magic swords, and then into nine more magic sword forms.

Richard designed a set of formations for each form, which was quite fun.

Not only can it kill enemies from a distance, but he also designed a set of staff techniques for the combined staff-shaped weapon, which is used with the assistance of Telekinesis and is quite effective.

Richard's requirement for Zhan Lan was that, while she shouldn't be stronger than Zheng Zha, who was primarily a melee fighter, she also shouldn't be too fragile.

Even when the enemy gets close, he can still pull out a stick and show off his stick skills.
