The long-lost operation of fabricating avatars made Zheng Xiu feel a little strange and nostalgic.

The last time I pinched someone, it was "Zheng Baimei".

Now Zheng Xiu has three incarnations, Zheng Shan, Zheng E, and Zheng Baimei.

Zheng Xiu has always believed that since he has taken the [Prisoner] path and has the special ability to fabricate different incarnations to walk in the world, he should make the incarnations have enough diversity. He does not need to be proficient in everything, he only needs to concentrate on one point and reach the top. This is the best The embodiment of the ideal.

Wow!

Broken Foot was pulling hard on the chain in the corner, struggling feebly. Zheng Xiu glanced at the newly obtained strange thing with an expressionless face. Since Qing Shisan refused to take it, Zheng Xiu couldn't think of anyone to give it to, so he had no choice but to accept it with a smile.

He was originally not interested in the method of [traveling], but it was undeniable that the monster's increase in the magician's power was unreasonable. Zheng Xiu now regarded "Zhu" as his mortal enemy. Without knowing Zhu's trump cards and methods, Zheng Xiu As often as not, the more cards Zheng Xiu has in his hand, the better.

"Whether it's running fast, walking through walls, floating on water, or having crippled feet, no matter what miraculous skills are derived in the end, in the end, they are still inseparable from a pair of feet. This is the most basic rule of footwork."

"He has to run."

Zheng Xiu thought about it, nodded, and said to himself: "Speed ​​type."

After a while, Zheng Xiu nodded vigorously, gritted his teeth and added: "The ultimate speed type."

"As the saying goes, martial arts in the world are all about speed. No matter what magic tricks others use, there will always be signs of using them. When others raised their hands to shake, I swished forward, rushed forward, and chopped it off! Isn't that right? Take advantage?"

While thinking about it, Zheng Xiu sat on the game table, poking at the face of "Fengbei Station" from time to time, watching the dark door open and close shyly, while playing with it, Zheng Xiu grabbed the key that recorded the information about the [doorway]. Parchment and look at the message on it.

[Host]: [Zheng Xiu]

[Door Path]: [Prisoner] (Jiazi·Seventh Gate)

[Restrictions]: [Surprise Cage (Unfinished)]

[Compatibility]: [40%]

[Derivatives]: [Watching the Sky in Prison (Proficient)] [Wandering in the Fugue (Proficient)] [Projection (Proficient)] [Unbreakable (Proficient)]

[Talent]: [No businessman, no treachery (proficiency)] [Foreign language (reaching the pinnacle)]

[Experience]: [White carp first seeks secrets, troubled times are turbulent (first enters the world)] [Often escapes from danger, Haoran's righteousness remains (retreats from the world)] [Beheads the fairy with ruthless hands, saves the pretty girl in anger (heroic boy)] [ With a snap of a finger, a hundred years of solitude appear in the painting.]

As he penetrated the "Cannibal Painting", the level of [Prisoner] was promoted, and the related abilities derived from [Prisoner] increased, upgrading to the level of "proficient".

"Huh? How come you've reached the peak of your foreign language skills?"

Zheng Xiu was confused. He had never practiced on purpose.

Not long ago, he was still "proficient", but how could he reach the top in the blink of an eye?

Zheng Xiu was puzzled. He rubbed the knot between his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

No wonder my communication with cats has become smoother recently. It turns out it’s because [Foreign Language] has reached its peak!

Zheng Xiu suddenly realized.

Nowadays, there are only three people who have reached the level of "reaching the pinnacle", namely:

[Foreign Language], [Heaven and Earth come together in one sword intention], [Eighteen Coiling Dragon Slashes].

Among them, [Foreign Language] has increased inexplicably.

[Foreign Language (reaching the pinnacle)] You have been with non-human creatures day and night, and have been inseparable from them. Over time, you have gradually understood them.

[Foreign Language] When I was "comfortable", I could only "vaguely understand their babble", but now I have "gradually understood them". The subtle difference is difficult to explain.

Needless to say, [Heaven and Earth Cross Gang Guiyi Sword Intent] is golden when it reaches its peak when drawn out, but [Eighteen Coiling Dragon Slashes] actually rises to the top. When Zheng Xiu integrated the eighteen swords and cut out the nineteenth sword " When he sacrificed his life to slay the dragon", he was upgraded.

Therefore, Zheng Xiu knew clearly that in order to improve a certain ability from "proficient" to "reaching the pinnacle", he could not mechanically gain experience and experience. A certain degree of "enlightenment" or "opportunity" was required to improve it.

Moving his eyes, Zheng Xiu looked towards the [Surprise Cage].

This is Zheng Xiu's "restriction".

"Restrictions" and "rules" complement each other and ultimately increase the power of thaumaturgy.

Now Zheng Xiu has gradually figured out the rules for improving the compatibility of [Surprise Cage]. Each time a strange object form is unlocked, the compatibility can be increased by 5%, and using [Surprise Cage] to shake out strange objects will gain experience. It can be increased by up to five percent.

Zheng Xiu has now unlocked a total of four forms: "Purgatory", "Jinghong", "Broken Moon", and "Cat Cat Scissor", a total of twenty. He brushes some more from time to time, and the total has increased by twenty. Now the compatibility of the strange objects is It has reached 40%.

What makes Zheng Xiu feel weird is that this number doesn't seem right. The [Prisoner] monster has twenty sides, which obviously means that Zheng Xiu will be able to unlock twenty "forms". Originally, the fit was 100% just right; but now, under the influence of the [Surprise Cage], it seems that he only needs Once he unlocks the tenth kind of trick, he will be able to achieve 100% compatibility.

So what is the use of extra forms?

Looking at the parchment, Zheng Xiu sorted out the trump cards he currently had. Looking back, he was surprised to find that in just one year since he was imprisoned last autumn, he had opened the seventh door and walked away from almost ten other people. A road that only took twenty years to complete, and progress has been rapid.

What's more, he is so rich.

"Oh, it's so cold at high places."

Zheng Xiu sighed, put down the parchment, grabbed the blank "character card" hanging over the game table, and concentrated on imagining and pinching people.

The faces of the three avatars of Zheng Xiu, Zheng E, and Zheng Baimei were almost all made according to his own face, so Zheng Xiu didn't spend much time when creating the avatars. But this time, Zheng Xiu decided to make a different one, at least unrecognizable to him, so that he could do some secret things.

It was wonderful to think about it, but in fact, when it came to actual operation, Zheng Xiu found that it was so difficult to pinch people. After fabricating it out of thin air for a while, Zheng Xiu opened his eyes, looked at the crooked face that looked neither human nor ghost, and laughed dumbly.

"How much concentration does it take to pinch faces? Can't you give me some templates to choose from?"

After a while, Zheng Xiu understood that the reason why it was so different was because he didn't even have an exact idea. What kind of character should be created, or what kind of posture should be created to match the "walking" monster.

Before he knew it, Zheng Xiu spent an entire afternoon, hurriedly sending someone a dinner, and gulping down jujube to fill his stomach, Zheng Xiu continued to retreat.

During this period, several people knocked on the door.

Zheng Xiu ignored it.

Zheng Xiu continued to retreat and concentrated on pinching people.

At night, Maomao broke in through the window and found a comfortable position to curl up in Zheng Xiu's arms.

A trace of gray mist overflowed from behind Zheng Xiu. The cat's eyes lit up, he opened his mouth to eat, licked his pink tongue, and continued to squat.

In prison.

Zheng Xiu irritably crushed a chiseled "little man" into clay and pushed it down to start over.

Lin Lin pinched it a dozen times, but there was always something that made Zheng Xiu dissatisfied.

He was still stuck at the step of pinching his face.

The attributes of the avatar can be improved, but once the face is pinched, it cannot be modified, which is a step to the death of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After pinching it for more than a dozen times, it tasted like Zheng Xiu's own every time, which was contrary to Zheng Xiu's original intention.

Zheng Xiu was rubbing the knot between his brows desperately on the bone chair, and at some point, the "rule book" that had been gathering dust for a long time appeared on the corner of the game table.

"I didn't call for the rule book."

Zheng Xiu was confused, but he subconsciously picked up the thick rule book and flipped through a few pages.

"Huh?"

Zheng Xiu turned over the pages, his eyes widened, and his expression was stunned.

Originally, it was written in a strange language "woof woof woof woof", dog language, etc., which I couldn't understand in the past. When Zheng Xiu opened it, his eyes focused, and the fonts on it were distorted, and he could vaguely understand it. the meaning of.

"Fuck? Could this be the effect of 'foreign language'?"

“So I’m proficient in foreign languages, but I still care about reading?”

"Can I understand more rules?"

Zheng Xiu flipped through the pages, and sure enough, Zheng Xiu soon found the annotation about "Surprise Cage".

After turning a few more pages, Zheng Xiu saw this sentence:

[Why does your next stranger have to be a human? 】

Um? That makes sense!

When Zheng Xiu saw it, he felt enlightened and enlightened, and he felt that he had discovered a bright spot.

There is an "inner rule book" hidden in the rule book. Zheng Xiu took out the "inner rule book" to see if he could learn more in a "foreign language".

There is no doubt that Zheng Xiu’s achievements today are all due to his own imprisonment and hard work. But Zheng Xiu understood that his real cheat was the "internal rules" hidden under the "external rules", and there was a mysterious existence hiding the "ulterior rules" here.

The last time the "Inner Rules Book" appeared, [The Sword Intent of Heaven and Earth Crossing the Gang and Returning to Heaven] appeared.

"ah……"

In the rule book, there are indeed two more lines.

In an instant, Zheng Xiu wanted to pick up the cat and give it a slap to reward it. It turned out that learning [foreign language] was so useful!

Can be translated!

Those two lines of text have their own colors.

The green [Big Crucible], the black [Dark Cooking Technique].

By the way, the previous [The Sword Intent of Heaven and Earth Joining Gang Gang] was golden.

The different colors of the "ri rules" gave Zheng Xiu the illusion of winning a lottery while blindfolded.

He pressed his finger on two lines of words respectively, and wow, the two lines of words turned into two balls of light, one green and one black, floating out.

Among them, the black light group penetrated into Zheng Xiu's eyebrows with lightning speed.

[Through unremitting efforts and countless failed attempts, you have understood the true meaning of life and acquired the talent: dark cooking! 】

The green light gradually faded in the void, changed its shape, and finally turned into a card with a snap, falling feebly in front of Zheng Xiu.

There was no font on the card, but the surface looked like a pot with a dark background. The pot contained a basin of suspicious green liquid that was bubbling.

"Talents and...cards?"

Zheng Xiu originally thought that the green and black light groups were "traits" that could be used on the avatar.

The unexpected encounter made Zheng Xiu stunned for a moment, but he quickly checked what the new talent [Dark Cooking Technique] was.

[Dark Cooking (Peak)] A special skill derived from "Soul Cooking". All "cooking" related activities in your life are bound to end in failure, and the God of Food will desperately reject you. But because of this, your cooking is always full of surprises and uncertainties, and you will have a higher probability of cooking strange things.

"What the hell is this called 'talent'?"

Zheng Xiu was dumbfounded.

Isn't this called a negative state? It's called a talent?

No, this seems to be a curse, right?

For a moment, Zheng Xiu had mixed emotions, staring at that strange "talent". Talents are different from traits. Traits can only be used in incarnations and can be disassembled or installed, and can be put on or off. However, talents are bound to the body and are destined to last a lifetime.

After thinking about it, he found that on weekdays he didn't touch Yang Chun Shui and had someone to serve him. As long as he didn't cook, it wouldn't be a big problem. What makes Zheng Xiu even more concerned is how strange it is that in the [Dark Cooking Technique] talent description, "there is a high probability of cooking strange things."

[Dark Cooking] It makes sense if we use the "thaumaturgy" theory summarized by Zheng Xiu to explain it. The rule is "cooking" and the limit is "absolute failure" and ultimately cooking "weird stuff". The talents that appear in the rule book are inexplicably consistent with the [Prisoner] approach: they all focus on randomness and surprise.

Look at that card again. The card is translucent and the material is like crystal gems, unlike ordinary items. Zheng Xiu stretched out his hand to grab it and play with it carefully, but the card broke like glass and turned into countless light spots. The light spots gathered in the corner, full of green.

Zheng Xiu stared at the new furniture that appeared out of thin air in the simple heart prison - a big pot with green light. The crucible was as big as three people hugging each other. It was placed in a corner, which made the already narrow prison even worse and made it even more crowded. The surface of the crucible is covered with dark red rust. Zheng Xiu squinted his eyes and took a closer look. Inexplicably, he felt that the distribution of rust stains looked like a rather unbeatable smiling face from a distance, which made him feel a sense of unknown anger.

There was obviously no fire under the pot, but there was visible hot steam coming out of the pot—if the suspicious green gas could be considered "hot gas."

Zheng Xiu did not approach the suspiciously shaped crucible rashly, but instead invited the parchment to take a look. Very good, you didn’t go to a side road such as [Skilled Hand] branch [Cook], so don’t go astray.

They come, the security. Zheng Xiu approached the crucible, stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the surface of the crucible, but was unable to rub off the rust on the surface.

Approaching the crucible, the green bubbles in the pot rolled, surged and burst. Green bubbles floated above the crucible. This strange reaction made Zheng Xiu alert again. Before Zheng Xiu could figure out what those bubbles were, the suspicious liquid in the pot boiled again, forming a vortex. In the vortex, a red spoon floated to the surface.

Zheng Xiu subconsciously grabbed the dark red spoon. Not only was the spoon not hot to his hands, it was actually cold to his hands. A chill ran down the handle of the spoon, and Zheng Xiu couldn't help but tremble, and realized clearly in his heart: The use of the big crucible is very simple. As the name suggests, it is still the purpose of a pot. To sum it up, it can be summed up in one word - boiling.

But the "big crucible" is different from ordinary pots in hundreds of millions of ways. The big crucible can cook anything.

"Dark cooking skills, big crucible... You said this was not intentional, I really don't believe it."

Zheng Xiu sighed softly, walked to the table, grabbed the unformed "incarnation prototype" that was as indistinguishable as fog, and threw it into the big crucible.

Next came the foot amputation.

As if knowing that he was about to end up in the pot, Broken Foot struggled violently on the chain.

Zheng Xiu smiled coldly, grabbed the severed foot and stuffed it into the pot.

thump!

There was a small splash of water in the crucible, but soon there was no movement.

Zheng Xiu quickly moved his hands toward the bubbles floating in the air.

The bubbles were caught in the hand, and instead of bursting like ordinary bubbles, they were kneaded into various shapes.

Every time Zheng Xiu caught one, he closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and soon lines of fine characters appeared in the bubbles.

"I can add some seasoning..."

"Ideas can be cooked..."

"Tricks can."

"Maybe I can do it too?... It's better to say goodbye."

Zheng Xiu quickly put aside this suicidal idea.

"Add some rules, add restrictions on mouth intake, and add another spoonful of [No Traders Are Not Corrupt] to replenish the flavor..."

At this moment, Zheng Xiufu seemed to have transformed into a minus-star chef, adding his "ideas" to the pot little by little.

He vaguely knew what was about to be "cooked" in the cauldron.

This is an incarnation that is different from other incarnations and cannot even be taken out and slipped away.

It is a pure weapon.

A pure monster.

The main ingredients are the prototype, the side dishes are the oddities, and the seasonings are all kinds of restrictions.

"Looks are optional."

"Any age."

"Leave aside language skills, pure weapons don't need any nonsense."

"You can only run but not walk. If you move, you are like the wind."

"The rule book is right. Why does my next incarnation need to be human? I don't need to have human characteristics."

A bunch of bubbles were thrown into the pot, and a black and red light gradually appeared in the pot. As Zheng Xiu adds more and more "seasonings", the red and black light becomes brighter, illuminating the heart.

Zheng Xiu gritted his teeth for the last time: "No need for gender!"

Women only affect the speed of drawing the sword.

Zheng Xiu held a large spoon in both hands and stirred wildly in the large crucible.

rub!

A black light shot out of the pot.

In the black beam of light, an unknown figure walked out.

The black figure's body shape is somewhat similar to that of the Crow Raider, tall and thin, with slender arms and legs. His wrists and ankles were hung with rusty shackles and chains, and his whole body was covered in smoke-like black gauze with holes all over it. What shocked Zheng Xiu the most was the Avatar's head. The Avatar's head was covered with a bloody iron hood, leaving only his eyes and the lower half of his face exposed. The mouth was roughly sewn shut with a rope as thick as a chopstick, and the iron hood covered the eyes, which were as red as blood and revealed a frightening and ferocious light, the ultimate in madness.
