Module Details

"According to the rules for Travelers entering a dimension, one returns to the exact point of entry."

"That traitor is severely injured. He is unaware of the situation in reality, or perhaps he has learned through some method that the external struggle for the Dimension Key is not going smoothly."

"Once he returns to reality, he likely won't be able to escape, which is why he chose to remain in this dimension by some means."

"Looking at it this way, I may need to be wary of this person."

Lu Bo considered the various potential dangers before beginning his rehabilitation training.

Although the vitality within his body felt somewhat depleted, it possessed a vigorous, upward-surging power.

During his movements, Lu Bo could even feel as if there were a spring within him, his blood flowing out like bubbling water.

After exercising for a short while, Lu Bo sensed something. His body shuddered, and a scarlet aura erupted from within him.

It resembled a lonely plume of smoke in the desert, surging straight toward the clouds.

Lu Bo waved his hand over his head, but felt no physical contact, nor did his hand become stained red.

However, the scarlet aura drifted away due to the movement of his hand; when he was indoors earlier, it would have been obstructed by the architecture.

The Vitality Smoke that emerged was not true vitality; if actual blood were to erupt like this, Lu Bo would have long since become a dried corpse.

He had no idea what this smoke was for—surely it wasn't just a beacon to let people know where to aim their cannons?

The martial path of vitality might exist and flourish in some dimension, but for now, Lu Bo had to explore these things on his own.

"I can't seem to figure it out." Lu Bo felt he must be missing something.

Earthlings belong to the reality dimension, where no transcendent paths exist.

Even if one uses modules as a foundation to develop transcendent power, the path is fundamentally broken; to continue advancing, one must rely on modules.

There was no helping that.

As for the concern of relying too heavily on modules and being controlled by those behind them, one only needs to realize that Earth itself is merely one of many items in their collection.

The Church of Thousand Dimensions, which holds supreme status on Earth, is essentially just a collection management agency for the God of Thousand Dimensions.

It is far too early for you to be worrying about such things.

"Should I construct modules with the vitality system as the core?" Lu Bo wondered, then shook his head.

It wasn't a matter of simply wanting to do so; it required many conditions.

"Besides, vigorous vitality is also beneficial for cultivating internal energy."

"With my massive amount of vitality, once I truly construct a technique skill and begin cultivating internal energy, I will likely accumulate decades' worth of an ordinary person's internal energy in no time."

"I'm going from a pure physical build to a magic tank!"

Lu Bo fantasized while experimenting with adjusting his modules.

The modules had been replenished, and both current skills required fine-tuning to achieve better results.

Lu Bo had quite a few ideas.

However, as he experimented, Lu Bo discovered that skills couldn't just be arranged however he pleased.

Some modules conflicted with others; if you inserted them without thought, it would only degrade the skill's effectiveness.

For instance, between [Excitation] and [Concealment], Excitation would diminish the effect of Concealment.

"The internal logic must make sense, and it requires corresponding connection techniques." Lu Bo discovered that the connection between modules wasn't just about placing them in the skill slot and linking them with his mind.

The space inside the skill slot was infinite, but it could only be used to store modules; the distance between these modules when connected, and even their placement, held specific significance.

"When a module operates, it interferes with other modules. My intent can only serve as a guide. If the placement is unreasonable, they will interfere with each other, causing issues with the skill's efficiency."

In the past, there weren't many skill modules, so this problem wasn't obvious.

But now, the issue had become quite serious.

For example, within [Combat Mode], the range and position of those meridians and acupoints should ideally correspond to his own body.

All of this required accumulating experience bit by bit; only after becoming proficient could he arrange skills with ease.

Lu Bo experimented for a while before ending the session; he still possessed too few modules.

Currently, he could barely construct two skills.

For a third skill, Lu Bo tried to assemble Iron Shirt, only to find that this skill also required a large amount of [Internal Energy] to support it. Without that support, the skill's effect was not as useful as he had imagined.

With some modules conflicting, [Combat Mode] and [Iron Shirt] could not be well integrated.

Since both required the consumption of [Internal Energy], Lu Bo chose to keep the optimized [Combat Mode].

He also didn't combine a third skill; if he were forced to, he could create a [Sound Localization] skill.

However, this presented a problem: once a module was condensed, it possessed a physical form.

The third skill slot was currently being used as a warehouse for modules.

Given that modules interfered with one another, he certainly couldn't just place them randomly in the other two skill slots.

Since that was the case, the lackluster third skill had to be abandoned for the time being.

Otherwise, Lu Bo would have no choice but to take out a cloth bag to pack these modules up; if he were to lose them through a moment of carelessness, the majority of his gains from this dimension would be gone for good.

I hope there's a way to handle this outside. Lu Bo shook his head.

The Phoenix Flying Ladies did not know much about modules, and they were not in a position to investigate such matters. Even if they did know something, it was impossible for them to tell Lu Bo everything.

There's a high probability that there is.

The effect of the skill slot was surely meant for constructing skills, while the module warehouse served only as an early-stage utility.

I suppose it's because my efficiency is too high.

An average Traveler might not necessarily possess Lu Bo's strength, even if the difficulty of obtaining modules was lowered for those entering a dimension for the first time.

By Lu Bo's estimation, it was considered a success if an ordinary Traveler could successfully equip their first module.

Someone like him was likely a rarity.

Of course, it could also be an issue with the skill slot. Lu Bo looked at the '3' displayed behind the skill slot on his panel, and a thought occurred to him.

He then summoned the servants waiting outside the courtyard and instructed them to find some people.

That same evening, movement could be heard outside Lu Bo's courtyard.

Several men opened the courtyard gate and tossed three bound individuals onto the ground inside.

After cupping their fists toward Lu Bo, they didn't say a word and left immediately.

"Brother Bandit, we meet again."

Clearly, these bound individuals were the very same people who had come to rob Lu Bo of his death compensation earlier.

The bandit leader had been killed by Lu Bo, but these underlings had survived.

"Now, we can have a proper talk."
