[Heartlock Unseal: A High Tier unlocking spell capable of breaking any lock in the world. Unlocks all physical locks without magical protection with a 100% success rate, while magical locks have their success rate determined by the caster's level and the unlocking spell's level.]
A high-level spell!?
Mu You looked at the following text description in surprise.
This was the first time he had truly seen a high-level spell in this game!
Come to think of it, low-level spells sold for over 100 years of lifespan, and mid-level spells for 500 years. Following this pattern, a high-level spell should be worth at least a thousand years!
Trading 10 years of lifespan for an item worth a thousand years was an absolute steal!
The only pity was that the grand prize spell was issued in the form of a scroll, which required claiming it first in order to learn it. Moreover, this claiming process itself would take more than five seconds.
In other words, it was impossible for him to directly free-ride this spell and immediately time-reverse to redraw.
Regardless, being able to get his hands on a high-level spell this time was already an immense profit, and Mu You was not too greedy, directly clicking 'Claim Reward.'
[Reward successfully claimed. You obtained the 'Heartlock Unseal Scroll'.]
[You tore open the scroll and learned the high-level spell: Heartlock Unseal!]
Following the pop-up of the text, another complex and tongue-twisting incantation was engraved deep within Mu You's mind.
Having learned the spell, Mu You couldn't wait to walk to the door, lock it from the inside, and then take out the Magic Wand, trying the spell out on the keyhole.
"Click!"
As the spell was chanted, the lock indeed popped open easily, and the door cracked open.
Then Mu You went downstairs again to test the rolling shutter and glass door locks downstairs, and the result was that these two large locks also popped open without any obstruction.
It really is as described in the text, capable of breaking any lock in the world!
The game had already explained it very clearly. Whether it was a ten-yuan garbage door lock or a high-tech precision lock on a bank safe, as long as it wasn't protected by magic, it was equally vulnerable in front of this spell.
However, how should electronic locks be counted under this logic?
Mu You suddenly thought of this possibility.
Electronic products and various virtual password locks on the network theoretically also belonged to a type of 'lock', and they couldn't possibly be protected by magic, so they should logically meet the requirements of the unlocking spell.
Mu You immediately grabbed his phone, aimed the Magic Wand at the lock screen interface on the display, and waved it.
The spell was chanted, and the next instant, the lock screen suddenly vanished, entering the phone's home screen directly!
It really works?
Mu You was shocked. As expected of a high-level spell, this effect was simply too heaven-defying!
One could say that with this spell in hand, as long as he was on Earth, there was practically no place that could stop him!
After a brief spell of excitement, Mu You calmed down, returned to his room, and continued the game.
[Shopping completed. You left Old Cat's Shop and headed toward the path on the eastern side of the village entrance.]
[You returned to the Night Watchman's Cabin. Do you want to go inside and sit for a while, or continue on your journey?]
There was nothing to do even if he went inside, so Mu You clicked 'Continue on your journey', preparing to map out the surrounding area first.
[Leaving the cabin, you walked into the gloomy night road of the village.]
[You encountered a Werewolf crouching in the grass ahead.]
[The Werewolf lunged at you. You choose...]
Three options: [Draw your arrow and fight it], [Turn around and run], [Lie down and play dead].
Damn it, this dog of a Werewolf is camping me!
Mu You cursed inwardly. This Werewolf really started targeting him; it actually camped right outside his front door to ambush him, with zero lower limit!
Among the three options, the first two definitely couldn't be chosen. Previously, he couldn't even beat a severely injured Werewolf, and a Werewolf in peak condition now was even less possible!
Besides, he didn't have the Poison Apple this time, so counter-killing this Werewolf was simply out of the question.
However, Mu You didn't give up just yet, resolutely choosing the third option: lie down and play dead!
He might not have the Poison Apple now, but the Werewolf didn't know that!
This Werewolf was a player just like him, and a player's perspective was extremely limited, allowing them to obtain only very limited information through scattered phrases in the game text.
With Mu You choosing to drop to the ground and play dead over here, the text the Werewolf received over there would definitely only say that the opponent had 'died on the ground'. As for whether it was playing dead or actually committing suicide by taking poison, it was all up to a guess!
Guess right and it was fine; guess wrong, and another ten years of lifespan would go down the drain!
Right now, Mu You was gambling that this Werewolf wouldn't dare to bite him!
And facts proved that he won the gamble!
[Seeing you collapse and fail to get up, the Werewolf hesitated for a long time before finally not daring to step forward and tear into your flesh and blood!]
[The Werewolf silently walked away. You survived!]
Hoh, trash!
Mu You sneered, controlling his character to hurry away in triumph, fearing that the Werewolf might double back.
Still, constantly playing 'Empty City Stratagem' with this Werewolf isn't a long-term solution. Once or twice, this Werewolf will definitely catch on. I still need to get my hands on some real poison for self-defense as soon as possible, Mu You thought.
Unlike the Werewolf-who could only gamble on whether to bite or not when facing his feigned death-Mu You had the Pocket Watch, so he could easily check the Werewolf's choice in the future first, and then reverse time to decide whether to eat the poison or not.
Therefore, purely in terms of outwitting each other in the game, he could completely play this Werewolf to death-provided, of course, that he actually had poison.
[You continued forward, crossed the patch of mugwort grass ahead, and arrived at a plaza.]
[This was the plaza used by villagers for gatherings, where various daily resolutions in the village were held.]
[In the very center of the plaza stood a rusted large bell. Ringing it would summon all villagers here, but only the village chief possessed the authority to ring the bell.]
He had found a plaza in the game capable of summoning all the villagers, but only the village chief had the authority to ring the bell to summon people.
Mu You recalled the police badge the hunter had given him. Using the badge, should he be able to get the village chief to help summon everyone over?
However, summoning them now didn't seem very useful either; that Werewolf could also switch to a villager skin at any time and fish in troubled waters, leaving him still unable to tell who the Werewolf was.
[You walked into the plaza and suddenly saw a young girl half-lying on the ground ahead!]
[This young girl wore a wizard's hat and a wizard's robe, clearly a wizard apprentice. Blood was seeping from her right leg, as if she had been injured and was unable to move.]
[The frail young girl waved at you, asking for help. You choose...]
Three options: [Walk over and help her], [Turn a blind eye], [Draw your arrow and attack her].
Oh? Mu You was slightly stunned as he encountered a new character in the game.
Just as he was about to walk over and make a friend, another line of text suddenly popped up below.
[Maintaining caution, you approached a few steps closer and lifted the Pumpkin Lantern, wanting to illuminate the area to check the situation.]
[The cyan dust and faint glow of the Pumpkin Lantern spilled down, allowing you to see some details invisible to the naked eye: the distribution of blood on the young girl's leg was unnatural. Rather than an injury, it looked more like forged blood and wounds. The young girl's right hand was hidden behind her back, seemingly gripping something. Through the reflection on the ground, you faintly caught sight of it-a cold, gleaming dagger!]
Holy crap!
Mu You thought to himself, what kind of dark-belly little girl was this? At such a young age, why not do something proper instead of learning how to pull a scam?
Good thing he had the Pumpkin Lantern, or he really would have been ambushed!
Wait... Could this possibly be that very same Werewolf from just now?
Mu You suddenly realized this possibility.
Could it be that the Werewolf found it difficult to kill him in its werewolf form, so it simply switched to its villager form, trying to trick him into coming closer so it could harm him?
Otherwise, everyone was a villager, why would they hurt each other?
