In a small grove in Lisha Point.
Playful Golden Finches were pecking at seeds in the grass, occasionally lifting their heads to watch their surroundings warily, as hidden foxes and other carnivores would gladly gobble them up. After all, no matter how small a finch was, it was still poultry.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar presence startled the Golden Finches, making them spread their wings and fly. They looked back with lingering fear at the place they had just been foraging; two humans had appeared there at some unknown time.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
Standing on a branch, uttering fierce words that humans couldn't possibly understand, the Golden Finch flapped its wings, wanting to find another "buffet." Unfortunately... the fox that had been lurking in the tree for a long time wouldn't let it go so easily.
The branch shook, and the Golden Finch's figure vanished, leaving only a fox still licking its lips. It glanced at the humans below and slowly disappeared into the mountains.
Your poultry is gone.
Putting down Qiqi, whom he had been holding by the collar, Bai Luo gradually relaxed. He was startled when Zhongli finally guessed it was him, but he wasn't surprised.
Who was that? An Archon who had lived for thousands of years. If he didn't have some wits, how could he have overwhelmed all other demon gods and occupied such a large territory? Strong military might was important, but an extraordinary mind was also essential.
"Here, I got the item for you." Taking out the U
Juvenile Jade he had retrieved earlier, Bai Luo handed it to little Qiqi. Generally, a Geovishap only grows two of these.
One is at its dorsal fin, and the other is inside its body, gradually replacing its heart. Only in very rare cases do three appear, and a Geovishap with three Juvenile Jades is basically the strongest of the Geovishap species.
After Bai Luo killed this Geovishap, a new Geovishap would soon inherit the residual power of the previous generation's Geovishap from the ley lines and evolve into a new Geovishap.
However, unlike the numerous young Geovishaps and mature Geovishaps, there is only one Primal Geovishap, just as a wolf pack can only have one alpha wolf. This would be decided internally among the Geovishaps as to who would become the new Primal Geovishap.
Leaving aside the matter of the Geovishap, Bai Luo's long-dormant system once again showed activity. These past few days, he seemed to be aimlessly wandering, but in reality, whether he was at Wanmin Restaurant or roaming the wilderness, he was always going to places that had a connection to Archons.
For example, Guoba at Wanmin Restaurant was actually the legendary Archon of the Stove, Marchosius.
However, after interacting with it, his system showed no reaction. It was only after climbing the towering peaks of Jueyun Karst with Qiqi that his long-dormant system seemed to go haywire, occasionally dinging, but only making sounds and not providing any corresponding prompts.
That's why he had been staying with Qiqi these past few days, to see if this little girl, who had experienced the Archon War, had brought any changes to his system.
He never thought that after several peaceful days, it would be after fighting the Geovishap that the seemingly broken system would finally give a prompt.
[Achievement Completed: Killing the Goose that Lays the Golden Egg]
[Reward Acquired: Lord Mo...]
"???"
After seeing the first two words, Bai Luo inexplicably shivered. No way? No way? I didn't perform that badly fighting the Geovishap, did I? Why would it give me a bathhouse attendant?
Master Xiao, stop scrubbing, the enemy ADC's health is already full.
After calming down, he looked at the reward again, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
[Reward Acquired: Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella (Weapon Skin)]
[A/N: For those who do not understand the reference, it's the weapon of the MC of The King's Avatar Anime/Manga. It's a great anime. You can watch it if you would like to know more]
[Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella (Weapon Skin)]: If you like it, treat it as glory, not a show-off.
Unique Effect – Myriad Manifestations
Umbrella: Can freely switch to all weapons of owned professions, but only enjoys weapon attributes, not profession bonuses. (Cooldown: 3 seconds)
Unique Effect – Plum Blossom Umbrella: Can switch the weapon to umbrella form. Although its lethality is insufficient, perhaps it can provide shelter from wind and rain?
Looking at the effects of this new skin, Bai Luo drew the dagger from his waist. The dagger gradually stretched and lengthened, finally transforming into a cold and sharp katana.
However, the blade of this katana was on its back, making it a reverse-blade sword. With the Reverse-Blade Sword in hand, Bai Luo didn't have that feeling of unity with the blade.
Although he knew how to use the sword when holding it, it was definitely not as smooth as when he switched to Battousai.
The same went for using the dagger when switched to Battousai; he knew where the steel wire mechanism was and how to use the steel wires, but it wasn't as fluid as when he switched to Assassin.
Perhaps this was what "only enjoys weapon attributes, not profession bonuses" meant? He just didn't know if the Assassin could kill someone while holding the Reverse-Blade Sword.
After experimenting with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's effects, Bai Luo used "Plum Blossom Umbrella" again. The Reverse-Blade Sword gradually softened and reshaped, finally transforming into a red oil-paper umbrella.
This oil-paper umbrella had nothing special about it; it looked no different from those sold by the Feiyun Commerce Guild.
However, there seemed to be a faint plum blossom scent on this umbrella, and it looked somewhat aged, even making one doubt if it could actually block wind and rain.
Bai Luo tried it out. Switching between the umbrella form and other weapons was seamless, but if he wanted to switch again after a weapon switch, it required a three-second cooldown.
It was fine for showing off normally, but if he played like this in battle, he would probably die miserably.
After all, three seconds was enough time to do many things, like let the Raiden Shogun slash him a few times, or let Rex Lapis smash him several times with "Planet Befall."
The oil-paper umbrella transformed back into a dagger, which Bai Luo inserted into his waist. He then looked at the second reward.
That's right, this time it was a double-hit, with a second achievement reward. And this new reward, like the previous one, gave him a fright.
[Achievement Completed: Is this an Item Build? (First time using an active equipment)]
[Reward Acquired: Core of the Earth's Fire (Active Equipment)]
[Core of the Earth's Fire (Active)]: The wrath from the earth, capable of burning everything. Note: Do not use in forests. A fire in the mountains will inevitably lead to imprisonment.
Unique Active: Condenses the Core of the Earth's Fire, summoning ground fire magma at the target location. After 1 second, the ground fire erupts, dealing 15% of the target's Max HP as Pyro damage to all entities within the target area, and causing a knock-up effect. (Cooldown: 90 seconds)
If Bai Luo had a cigarette handy, he might have tried lighting it with the Core of the Earth's Fire. His dream was to become a legendary swordsman, assassin, ronin, hunter.
But this damn system was forcing him to become a 'skill spammer' with no joy whatsoever.
He could almost certainly say that if he got equipment again next time, it would either be an electro-shock trap or a Hextech Gunblade. It absolutely wouldn't be output items like Trinity Force or Tessaiga.
[A/N: Tessaiga is a Yokai sword from a certain Anime. If you want additional information, leave a comment on the chapter]
Hiss... Would this cursed system give him a Divine Punishment (Tianfa)?
Alas, life is unpredictable, like putting a small intestine inside a large intestine.
