Gao Wu: I inherited the evil organization in the game

Chapter 659 S-Rank Legend Acquired

Feng Mu blinked at the mirror, and sure enough, an extremely inconspicuous upgrade coupon quietly appeared in his vision, its edges gleaming faintly, almost blending into the background.

He couldn't quite remember when he got the coupon.

Because I had been saving it up unused, treating it as a hidden treasure, I almost forgot about it in a corner over time.

His gaze shifted back and forth between the floating upgrade ticket, the phantom axe he couldn't put down, and the lottery wheel that shuddered at crucial moments.

Suddenly, a cold, villainous smile crept across his lips, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes:

"Since that's the case... if we don't use it now, when will we?!"

[You have used a one-time upgrade coupon!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Thousand Illusions Void - Axe of Destruction (S-grade equipment)]
[Category: Agility/Spirit Dual-Spec Exclusive Equipment]
[Binding Method: Soul Symbiosis (Cannot be undone, cannot be transferred)]
[Legend has it that this axe was not forged in the mortal realm; its core is inlaid with a broken "Time-Space Illusion Butterfly" crystal, allowing the wielder to manipulate the boundary between reality and illusion, transforming into countless forms and creating a phantom army.]
[Base Bonuses: Agility +24, Attack Speed ​​+40%, Spirit +15]
Thousand Illusions Maze - Mirror Entity:

When moving at high speed, it will leave behind an illusion that lasts for 12 seconds (up to 30).

The illusion possesses advanced physical form and inherits 55% of the original's attributes.

Shadow Strike:
The illusion's attacks will ignore 30% of the target's physical armor and apply the [Void Tear] effect (causing continuous bleeding and reducing movement speed by 20%).

Disillusionment Explosion:

When the illusion is killed, it will 100% trigger an explosion, dealing high corrosive damage to enemies within 15 meters and leaving an infected area that lasts for 30 seconds (increased damage and healing reduction).

Void Sensing - Phantom Dodge:

For each illusion present, the evasion rate of all allies increases by 2% (this effect cannot be stacked with the evasion effects of other equipment).

When any illusion takes damage, 50% of the damage will be shared among all existing illusions.

Active Effect 1 - Void Assault: Phantom Strike

Consumes some stamina to dash at super speed in the designated direction (maximum distance 300 meters), dealing physical damage to all enemies in the path and marking them.

Four illusions are generated behind each marked enemy. The illusions inherit 60% of the original enemy's attack power and 40% of its skill effects, and last for 40 seconds.

All passively generated illusions will prioritize attacking the nearest marked target.

Active Effect 2 - Phantom March/Void Stealth:
Gain "Void Stealth" when moving on any terrain (treats it as flat ground, increases movement speed by 40%, becomes completely invisible, and cannot be detected by detection skills below Rank A). Becomes visible after attacking and deals 2.5x critical damage.

Active Effect 3 - Final Clone Phantom Legion:
Summon 4 final clones. The final clones inherit 55% of the original body's all attributes and 70% of its attack power, and can perfectly use all of the original body's skills (including control skills, with an effect of 80% of the original body's).

The clone contains void energy, and when it is killed, it will cause a large-scale explosion, causing corrosive damage and silencing the enemy for 3 seconds (such as stopping blood circulation or interrupting mental attacks).

Duration: 6 minutes.

Cooling time: 20 minutes.

Active Effect 4 – Shifting Domain:
When this field is activated, you can swap positions with any illusion within the field.

Duration: 3 minutes.

Cooldown time: 10 minutes.
[P.S.: All shadows are me, a thousand illusions follow me. The void is eternal, the illusions are everlasting!]
Looking at the upgraded Endless Axe, whose name had even been lengthened, Feng Mu was still taken aback by the strength displayed by the S-class equipment, even though he was mentally prepared.

The attribute value alone has increased by 21 points. Although it is evenly distributed across the Agility and Spirit attributes, the total value is almost doubled.

Moreover, the number of illusions has increased exponentially, and their duration and attack power have been comprehensively enhanced. A damage sharing mechanism has even been added, resulting in a significant leap in survivability and disruption capabilities.

The Shadow Strike skill has also been enhanced, adding a slowing effect in addition to the original armor penetration and bleeding, making its control and output capabilities even more lethal.

The evasion rate bonus provided by Void Sense has become more substantial, and the increased benefit from each illusion generated makes high evasion a common occurrence.

In short—all passive skills have become even more overpowered.

Not to mention active skills—originally there were only two, but now they have been expanded to four.

Although one of them evolved from the original passive skill [Phantom Walk], it is called [Void Stealth].

Putting everything else aside, the "complete invisibility" ability provided by [Void Stealth] alone is so powerful that it needs no further explanation; those who know, know.

Remember, this is reality, not a game.

In the game, invisibility might not be that important; it's more of a tactical maneuver or an initial advantage.

Because characters in the game have health bars, bosses often have high health or are directly immune to assassination.

But in reality, there's no health bar limit. If you could truly become invisible, silently sneaking up behind a "BOSS" and launching a fatal attack without warning...

The scene was so beautiful that Feng Mu now wanted to go out and find a "BOSS" to test himself.

The other three active skills are equally outrageously powerful.
Most importantly, Feng Mu keenly observed that these skills were not isolated entities; they possessed an extremely terrifying synergy and combinability.

Each skill is powerful enough when used alone, and the upgrade brings about a qualitative change.

And if they are combined and released at the same time... it might truly fit the meaning of the equipment description, "Phantoms form an army, phantoms endure forever."

Feng Mu couldn't accurately estimate how much combat power it could unleash.

However, he cautiously speculated that if he were to wield this battle axe and unleash its full power, he could certainly defeat ten of his former self before the upgrade, if not more than enough.

Most importantly, all the skills in this equipment, no matter how you look at them, complement his original limit-breaking skill Ghost Shadow and his ability to control shadows.

Illusions, ghosts, and shadows, combined with teleportation and swapping between the real body, shadows, and illusions, and even some illusions can cast spells...

With this series of deceptive and realistic attacks, what kind of strong opponent would it take to accurately pinpoint his true identity amidst the chaos of battle?
"This upgrade ticket was definitely worth it! Thousand Illusions Void - Axe of the End is a perfect match for me!!!"

Feng Mu was filled with excitement and unconsciously tightened his grip on the axe handle.

He noticed that the shape of the axe had also changed subtly. Although the size and style remained the same, a butterfly-shaped dark pattern had appeared faintly on the silver-white axe blade.

The butterfly-like shadow seemed alive, fluttering gracefully amidst the flowing light on the axe's surface, adding a touch of eeriness and mystery to the entire battle axe.

Holding it, he seemed to transform from his original "murderous maniac" persona into "elegant Hannibal."

"This pattern must be the 'Time-Space Illusion Butterfly' mentioned in the description, right?" Feng Mu lowered his head to examine the axe again, his wrist flicking lightly to create a clean axe flourish, thinking to himself:
"It seems that I will need to find a specific axe technique to practice from now on."

With a flick of his wrist, the axe vanished from his hand and was stored in his equipment inventory.

Although the equipment would take effect as long as it was equipped, what Feng Mu valued most were its attributes and skills.

But after all, it is a rare S-class weapon, and the material of the axe is by no means ordinary. If you don't use it to chop people, it feels a bit of a waste.

After the excitement and satisfaction subsided slightly, a more greedy, or rather, more exploratory thought involuntarily emerged from the depths of Feng Mu's mind:

"However, on another note... an A-grade equipment can be directly upgraded to S-grade using an upgrade ticket. So what if..."

A calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
"What if I had been incredibly lucky and drawn an S-rank piece of equipment, and then used this upgrade ticket on that S-rank equipment... what would have happened?"

"Can it be upgraded further? Above S-class equipment, are there higher ranks? For example, SS-class? Or even the legendary SSS-class?"
Or is S-rank already the highest possible rank under the current rules?

Feng Mu's mind began to wander to other thoughts, though he wasn't really calculating whether he could draw an S-rank next time.

Given the awful habit of the lottery wheel always "shaking" at the last moment, he seriously doubted whether he would ever have the luck to actually get an S-grade item through "drawing" in his lifetime.

What he was really thinking was: if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely try to get another upgrade voucher.

Feng Mu stared blankly at the mirror, his thoughts surging like the tide. After a moment, he slowly took a deep breath and gathered his scattered thoughts one by one.

Then turn your attention back to the last two rewards remaining in the Silver Chest—100000 skill proficiency points and a building module.

"One hundred thousand points?"

When Feng Mu first glanced at the string of numbers, he even thought he had added an extra zero.

He counted them carefully twice more, and after confirming that there were no errors, a genuine joy welled up from the bottom of his heart:
"Should this be enough to fulfill the prerequisites for the 'True Skill of the Initial Liberation of Flesh and Blood'?"

He did not rush to allocate this "huge sum of money," but suppressed his inner impulse and turned his attention to the [building module].

"Building Module? The name does sound similar to that of a base vehicle."

Feng Mu narrowed his eyes, looking at the palm-sized virtual building module, lingering particularly on the words "to be activated".

Although it's called a building module, its design is quite bizarre, completely different from any common building style in the real world, more like a creation of some alien civilization or monster.

Its main body is a deeply recessed "pool", the pool walls of which seem to be made of some kind of biological keratin and cold, hard metal fused together, and the surface has a matte and dark tone.

The pool was filled with something that was somewhere between liquid and bio-colloidal, and it was continuously and slowly tumbling and stirring itself.

Its color is indescribable, a mixture of dark red and murky gray-white, a "living" blend that exudes a sense of vitality.

The architectural model was exceptionally realistic, with tiny bubbles occasionally rising from the depths and quietly bursting on the surface of the pool.

Feng Mu could even faintly smell a sweet and familiar scent.

Several tubular structures of varying thicknesses and indistinguishable textures extend from one side of the pool, twisting and coiling like the internal organs and tentacles of some giant creature, or the transport channels of some alien machine.

These tubes eventually connect to several transparent glass jar-shaped containers.

In stark contrast to the seemingly living pool in the center, these glass jars were empty inside, their walls smooth and cold.

"After the building is put into use... will something be generated from these glass jars?"

Feng Mu muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the churning "pool," a vague guess gradually forming in his mind.

"This building couldn't possibly be..."

He took a deep breath, still unsure, but his heart was already beating a little faster.
"If what I think is true, then this thing is quite a good fit for a prison."

Just then, the system seemed to sense his thoughts and displayed a prompt:
[Currently unavailable. Please expand your base first, then deploy this building...]
As Feng Mu looked at the words, a look of understanding flashed across his eyes, and his guess became more and more certain.

"Okay, okay... this should be it."

He murmured to himself, his tone suppressing a certain expectation.

"Once I finish expanding the base, you'll be the first one I build."

The appearance of this building module timely resolved a long-standing worry in Feng Mu's mind.

He had been worried that as his control over the second prison continued to increase, it wouldn't be long before he could take it completely under his control.

When that day comes, after he officially deploys the "base vehicle" and integrates it into the prison, how will he obtain resources to build other "structures" with different functions?
After all, based on his experience playing real-time strategy games like Red Alert, StarCraft, and Warcraft in his previous life, apart from the main base (command center or main city) being a free bonus at the start.

All other building units—whether barracks, vehicle factories, or research institutes—require a large amount of specific resources to construct.

In this real world without a user interface or resource bar, what exactly are "resources"?
Is it ordinary money, minerals, or energy? Or... something more bizarre and strange?

He had no clue what to do before.

But now, with this module in his hand, he can at least feel a little more at ease.

"Now that we have obtained a ready-made building module in advance, it means that at least one building that looks quite crucial and powerful has been 'unlocked'."

"Once the base is officially operational, I should be able to build it immediately!"

Feng Mu thought to himself,

"As long as we can build one structure first, everything else will be easier. We can just take it one step at a time."

After all this fuss, Feng Mu was already filled with anticipation for the day the "base" would officially open.

He absolutely could not accept that when that moment finally arrived, all he would find was an empty shell.

It's like you've painstakingly set up a dining table. Even if you can't prepare a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast for the time being, you should at least serve a bowl of meat and vegetables so that he can truly "taste" the flavors of the base and satisfy his cravings during this period.

Of course, if we could have a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast that day, that would be wonderful...
