Chapter 226: The Hourglass of Artifact Time(1/2)
After being promoted to the fourth level, Lin Chu did not go anywhere, but rested on the spot, released all the summoned objects and let them kill monsters around and throw them into the secret realm, promoting the ecological cycle in the secret realm.
He himself tried to meditate while trying to manipulate energy carefully.
One night passed.
The progress of finely manipulating energy was not very large. Instead, the magic power of stars that meditation could gather was so fast that he imagined. He successfully condensed three magic stars almost overnight.
After upgrading to the fourth level, the leap of life level allowed him to achieve twice the result with half the effort no matter what cultivation he practiced. Even the Condensation of the Biluo Xuan Blood Art was the same. He easily condensed hundreds of drops of Xuan Blood with the powerful vitality in his body!
At this point, the cultivation speed of the Biluo Xuan Blood Technique finally surpassed the Xuan-level skill.
Of course... Lin Chu doesn't value the level of martial arts. If he wants to change the martial arts skills, he can buy martial arts that are higher than the Xuanxue Art and the Xinghe Meditation Method with just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of resources.
He is already familiar with these two skills, and he doesn't have much time to practice the skills, so he is too lazy to think about new things, so he simply doesn't change them.
The meaning of the exercises is to slowly improve the level of life, and there is no big difference between changing or not.
In the world of God-Choose Games, he did not use the two random inferior artifact treasure chests, and he has only taken them out now.
Open two boxes one after another.
Two strange-shaped items popped up inside.
The first treasure chest revealed a mask as thin as a cicada's wings.
The mask has a smooth and flat appearance, without facial features, and falls lightly like a piece of thin paper, falling into his palm, with a warm and delicate touch, like a freshly peeled skin...human skin.
[Faceless: A magical mask with an active change of appearance and swallowing existence ability. It can be used when applied to the facial skin. It can change appearance, voice and change part of the body shape as you wish. It has the initiative: replace existence and record identity.]
[Replacement exists: If you have a complete corpse of other creatures and die for no more than an hour, you can choose to let the mask devour the target, ignore the body shape, race, and structure of any factors physiologically transform into other creatures, including and not limited to bones, flesh, genetic information, and thoroughly grasp their memory, behavioral habits, and thinking logic. Only the most rooted self-information can always be retained...]
[Record identity: The wearer can extend the mental touch to the target. If the target cannot resist or detect the mental touch, the wearer can obtain and record the other party's physiological and psychological characteristics within one minute (the amount of information obtained depends on the depth of the mental touch). The effect is similar to the time-limited "replacement existence", which requires continuous consumption of a small amount of mana to maintain, and can last up to one hour.]
[The wearer can switch between ‘replacement existence’ and ‘self’ at any time, without cooling time. However, ‘replacement existence’ and ‘recording identity’ need to be three days apart to simulate a new identity, and the mask can only be compatible with one identity at the same time. The covered old identity will be completely digested by the Faceless Head and cannot be restored.]
[Reminder ①: People with no faces also have faces, and people with no faces are also faceless.]
[Reminder ②: Remember who you are, otherwise you will become faceless.]
"Damn, is this an inferior artifact? I believe it is an advanced artifact!"
Lin Chu was stunned after seeing all the information.
This mask can perfectly replace someone else’s identity!!
Not only can you simply change your appearance into the other person, but you can even become perfectly physiologically and even psychologically, and you can also plunder the memory and thinking patterns...
This is no longer called deformation, but a replacement for its existence in this world!
It is hard to describe the ability of this mask.
Powerful! Terrible and weird power! Even so strong that Lin Chu felt a little scared.
After quickly understanding the conventional abilities of the Faceless Head and the two proactive abilities, he turned his attention to the two reminders at the bottom. The more carefully he observed the insights, the more he felt that the delicate mask of the palm of his hand was so creepy.
You must remember who you are, or you will become faceless.
Does this mask have side effects that make people lose themselves? Or is it inevitable that using this mask will make people linger in a life of all faces and gradually forget themselves?
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is an inevitable root problem.
This reminded Lin Chu of somehow a dark fairy tale he had read:
A druid with the ability to transform fell in love with a princess. He turned into various small animals or people every day to please the princess. Until one day, he got up in the morning and looked in the mirror to change back to himself, but found that he had long forgotten his original appearance. In the end, the transformation magic turned him into an unrecognizable monster due to his mentality and had no chance to find himself again.
Perhaps frequent use of this faceless mask will lead to similar psychological problems.
"Perhaps it is precisely because of the side effects of this mask that it is considered an inferior artifact... In any case, the value of this mask is undeniable. If used properly, it is even more valuable than the Dawn Staff."
The existence of completely replacing a person can not only be used to infiltrate and escape, but also many strategies can be used to borrow this mask to display.
More importantly, this mask can also gain other people's memories by devouring corpses or spiritual touch.
I just don’t know if the mask’s substitute can hide it from the main level of the world… I’m afraid it’s not possible, or it’s very difficult.
Who knows what abilities does the world master have?
Maybe there are ways to see through other levels of faceless changes.
For the sake of safety, this artifact is mainly used without the Lord of the World. Try to avoid being exposed to the Lord of the World. It is definitely no problem to use it to deceive the strong man at the fourth level.
Turn your eyes to the second inferior artifact that was opened in the treasure chest.
This is an hourglass with an extremely simple shape?
That's right, it's just an ordinary upside-down hourglass...the kind that uses sand flow rate to measure time.
But the gravel inside is so small that it can be counted at a glance.
[Hourglass of Time: an inferior artifact with built-in space-time law. Flip this hourglass to make the gravel flow, which can pause all the current time and space movements in the entire world. Shaking the hourglass twice in a row can make the entire world time and space flow back.]
[Sand of Time (20 Grains): A magical substance originating from the unknown world, containing energy that is powerful enough to affect the entire world in space and space. Just one grain can make the entire world completely stagnate or retreat for a second.]
[Tip ①: What truly contains powerful power is not the hourglass itself, but the time sand that continues to consume internally. The time hourglass is only an initiator for the transforming time sand power, and ensures that the holder can move freely during the stagnant time and retain memory in the rewind of time.]
[Tip ②: Only used in small and medium-sized worlds. If used in large worlds, the power of time sand may not be able to cover the entire world.]
[Tip ③: The Lord of the World with the rules of time and space may be immune to the time pause and reflux of the hourglass. The Lord of the ordinary world will likely be able to detect traces of time pause or reflux, please use it with caution.]
"Props that can stop time."
Lin Chu's first reaction in his mind was some series of movies that are not suitable for children.
Ahem, it's off topic.
This time Sand reminded him of a game.
It is also about time and also has the setting to reverse time and space, but this hourglass of time is even more awesome. Even the static time can be achieved, and the whole world will flow backwards with the static.
However, compared with the stop time, the backflow time is obviously more powerful in the eyes of normal people.
According to Lin Chu's knowledge, the concept of time is mainly a general term for the movement of all things in the world. In fact, space movement is time, so time and space are not separated. If you master the rules of space, the extended time movement will naturally be easy to grasp.
If you want to stay in static time, the most accurate way is to move in static space.
If you want to turn back time and copy it, it will naturally turn back space movement.
Let all the material movements in the space return according to the trajectory, and you will naturally be able to flow back in time. Not to mention the broken mirror reunion during the rewind, even if you are resurrected from the dead, it is not impossible.
But it's a pity that twenty grains of time sand were brought into this hourglass.
It means...it can be able to stop or flow back for up to twenty seconds.
"Twenty seconds, it doesn't sound like a lot, but it's actually quite a lot... but it's still not enough, it's a consumable after all."
In the battle at the fourth level, you can do a lot of things even in just one second.
For ordinary people, it may not be able to even think about a single thought in one second, but for Lin Chu now, even if it only takes one second, it is enough to think clearly about the overall strategy, or to fly at a speed that exceeds more than ten times the speed of sound or to continuously teleport out of nearly ten kilometers.
But that's it.
If a life-and-death battle really reaches a critical moment that cannot be solved, it will definitely not be solved by stagnation or regression within a few seconds. It is likely that more than a dozen or even all of them will be used.
"I thought I would get an inferior artifact, but it turned out to be a life-saving trump card that could not be used easily."
Lin Chu was a little helpless.
But this life-saving trump card is surprisingly strong, which is a good thing.
If you really feel that it is inappropriate, and trade the hourglass and sand of time to a certain world master, you may even be able to exchange the magical artifacts of one or two levels higher. In terms of value alone, it will definitely be a big profit.
"Save it for now. It's a waste to sell such a powerful life-saving thing."
The most important thing is that he doesn't know where to go to find Shizhisha, otherwise the hourglass at this time will definitely be an invincible treasure.
Once the sand of time is used up, the hourglass of time is useless waste, which is really unacceptable...
Put the hourglass of time into storage space.
He held the mask as delicate as skin in his hand.
He pinched a corner of the mask with two fingers and pulled it lightly, and found that although this thing was thin, it was very resilient and could not be torn no matter how hard it was pulled.
Of course, he didn't dare to do it too hard, and he would cry if he really broke it.
Do you want to try wearing it?
He felt hesitant.
On the one hand, it is a resistance and fear of the description of the faceless person in this mask, and on the other hand, it is a curiosity and expectation of becoming other people and even other creatures. The two collided with each other and became entangled.
"Although these two inferior artifacts are very powerful, they both have difficult flaws that are unacceptable."
Lin Chu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Needless to say, the hourglass of time does not flow out after using it.
At present, this mask... is a real side effect that can make people fear. It is very likely that as the prompt says, it will make people lose themselves in the ever-changing changes.
But you still have to use it.
If you don’t wear it and try it out, how can you achieve the effect of this mask?
Although Lin Chu had doubts, he did not hesitate too much. Without saying a word, he decisively put the faceless mask directly on his face.
To be continued...
