Provisional Weird

[Provisional Weird]

The Anomalous Ant Queen struggled for a moment, but ultimately could not withstand the fatal injuries.

She died a miserable death.

Even before dying, she kept twitching, leaving her body grotesquely twisted.

Chen Ji took a look.

To prevent the Anomalous Ant Queen from playing dead, he even prodded her with his bat.

He nearly threw up.

Just then.

A crisp, pleasant voice announcement rang out by his ear.

[Anomalous Ant Queen killed]

[Luck Value +10]

"Luck Value plus ten!"

Chen Ji was stunned.

He had merely contributed an assist, yet he had received ten Luck Value.

How much Luck Value had the Weird Doll received?

It seemed the Luck Value he gained was not a fixed amount!

It required a high degree of participation from him.

It seemed that after his strength had improved, the Luck Value he gained during his sparring sessions with Baron Mordo had also increased considerably!

Chen Ji suddenly understood.

It was as though a path leading straight to the heavens had appeared before him!

Once tonight's nightmare ended, he would also attempt a breakthrough and become an esteemed Formal Mage!

He would establish a soul connection with Kamar-Taj!

That way, he would be able to cast Secret Art Magic and deal with other weird creatures himself!

"Big brother."

"I'm so full!"

"If it weren't for your help, Sugar couldn't have dealt with her either!"

Sugar smiled.

A trace of satisfaction also flashed across her delicate, beautiful face.

She could not help lightly licking her lips.

Then, Chen Ji saw that the gray talent [Insectoid Bane] on her status panel had solidified into a white talent!

[Name]: Weird Doll—Sugar

[Identity]: Chen Ji's playmate

[Talents]: Relentless Pursuit (White), Childlike Heart (White), Undying Body (Blue), Insectoid Bane (White).

[Insectoid Bane] (White): Because Sugar successfully killed the Anomalous Ant Queen, she has mastered skilled insect-killing techniques. Against insect-type weird creatures, damage is moderately increased.

"Looks like my guess was right..."

"Gray talents are temporary talents..."

"Once a temporary talent solidifies onto the status panel."

"It becomes a permanent talent!"

"Will my gray talents also solidify into permanent talents?"

Chen Ji pondered silently.

His mind and intellect were extraordinarily developed.

He could always infer the essence of things.

And that was thanks to the green talent [Total Recall]!

[Total Recall] had evolved from [Clever and Keen].

Naturally, it included the Entry effects of [Clever and Keen].

"So you're full?"

"Even killing other weird creatures can't make you stronger anymore?"

Only then did Chen Ji realize it and hurriedly ask.

"No."

Sugar shook her head.

"Then let's go back to the safe zone and rest for a while."

"You've worked hard."

A smile bloomed across Chen Ji's face.

Holding the Weird Doll's hand, he returned to the spawn point once again.

There were almost no weird creatures in this area, and the ruined, crumbling wreckage could barely shield them from the wind and rain.

Chen Ji and the Weird Doll chose a clean spot and slowly sat down.

Sugar immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Her dark, curled eyelashes trembled gently.

Chen Ji's eyes were filled with affection.

At a moment like this, he truly wanted to compose a poem!

Unfortunately, he did not have that kind of talent.

All of a sudden.

An idea flashed through Chen Ji's mind.

"Why do I have to insist on establishing a soul connection in Kamar-Taj? I can establish one in the Weird World!"

Chen Ji rejoiced inwardly.

Different dimensions all possessed cosmic mystic energy.

The fact that this Weird World could give rise to countless weird creatures also proved that its vastness definitely surpassed Kamar-Taj!

He did not care where the source of magic power was.

As long as he possessed magic power, he could cast Secret Art Magic!

And within the book Universal Knowledge of Magic, there was a method for establishing a connection.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ji sat cross-legged where he was.

He silently recited the incantation recorded in the book.

He imagined his spiritual power as a ship's anchor, continuously manifesting, constructing, and refining it within his mind.

Then, he drove this 'Soul Anchor' directly into the ground before him.

A thunderous roar suddenly exploded!

Chen Ji's body swayed.

A strange, bewitching glow immediately rose in his eyes!

He had officially established a soul connection with the Weird World!

The omnipresent weird energy also surged madly toward Chen Ji, radiating bizarre and dazzling colors!

[Your previous decision brought about a major turning point in your fate. Luck Value reward: 100 points. Talent [Extreme Bad Luck] removed.]

[The [Nightmare Bound] Entry has undergone a subtle change due to your actions.]

"Hm?"

Chen Ji's gaze froze.

A major turning point in his fate...

Could that also provide Luck Value?

That worked too?

The black talent [Nightmare Bound] had actually changed as well?

He had to take a look!

Chen Ji hurriedly opened the Entry panel.

[Name]: Chen Ji

[Identity]: Apprentice Mage

[Talents]: Total Recall (Green), Martial Arts Master (Green), Minor Affinity (Green), Fortune in Misfortune (Green), Provisional Weird (Black).

[Luck Value]: 20.9

[Provisional Weird] (Black): In the near future, you will become a true weird creature. The righteous and evil factions will also adopt different strategies toward you.

"Holy shit?!"

"Provisional Weird?"

"I established my Soul Anchor in the Weird World, and the drawbacks actually outweigh the benefits?"

"I'll become weird in the future too?"

"This joke has gone too far, hasn't it?"

Chen Ji's expression was complicated.

What pleased him was that his Luck Value had turned a loss into a gain, and the gray talent [Extreme Bad Luck] had vanished!

What troubled him was that the black talent [Nightmare Bound] had actually upgraded!

A black talent upgraded, and it was still a black talent?

Then did he still have a way to resolve this misfortune?

Chen Ji felt troubled.

But...

It had brought about a major turning point in his fate and put another hundred Luck Value into his account, so the benefits definitely outweighed the drawbacks!

Although the title [Provisional Weird] sounded unnerving, there was no need to panic at all!

After all, he had the Entry System and the Talent Draw Wheel. As long as he drew a talent Entry that countered [Provisional Weird] and preserved his sanity.

That would be enough!

There was an unshakable truth circulating throughout the Marvel Universe.

The rich relied on technology; the poor relied on mutation.

As long as he was still himself, it would not be much of a problem!

Over this period, Chen Ji had gradually figured out how the Entry System worked.

Whether through sparring, combat, or killing weird creatures, the Luck Value he could obtain was pitifully small!

The only reliable method was rewriting a character's fate!

Chen Ji pondered silently.

Whose fate could he rewrite next?

Mordo?

Kaecilius?

"Mordo wants to become the Sorcerer Supreme... then I'll let him have it!"

"Kaecilius wants to revive his deceased wife and children. That's a little difficult."

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Death.

In the Marvel Universe, it was nearly irreversible.

But he could stop Kaecilius from coming into contact with Dormammu's faith...!

Or, through the Mystic Statue he kept, he could directly send Kaecilius into the Weird World!

That would count as bringing about a major turning point in Kaecilius's fate, right?

Chen Ji curled his lips, admiring his own resourcefulness.

At the same time.

A faint glimmer of light appeared in the Weird World.

Although it remained as dark and cold as ever.

It put Chen Ji in an excellent mood.

Because...

Dawn had arrived!
