Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 120 On-site synthesis? [Six Pure Wooden Fish]

Facts have proved that fate is wonderful beyond words.

With the blessing of 400 fates, not to mention the props in the temple, it is also possible to negotiate with colleagues in the temple.

Although this small Shahe Temple has many tourists, it is not famous after all, and only a few people pay for it. It only collects two to three thousand yuan in incense money a day. Excluding maintenance, the villagers don’t get much money.

Zhai Da spent 400, which is a lot, now it is 08.

The "old monk" in Taoist robes took him to a small room at the back and poured a cup of tea for Zhai Da.

This is the treatment for “great philanthropists”.

After leaving the small room, Zhai Da put the newly acquired [equipment] into the backpack, took out the potato chips to make room, and continued to stroll around.

He suddenly realized a problem. The criterion for judging "special items" is the entanglement of "thoughts". Wouldn't a place like a temple trigger it at a high frequency?
Believe it or not, when people come to such places, they will always have a bit more hypocritical "piety" in their hearts.

And the flow of people is relatively large.

He almost immediately thought of the huge black tripod in Jing'an Temple in Shanghai in his previous life, where people had thrown coins for decades.

That thing is most likely a special item, and it might be an awesome special item!

But it is almost impossible for Zhai Da to obtain "ownership", or the cost would be too high.

Any famous and well-established temple probably wouldn't sell this kind of thing as it would be difficult to get the money.

It seems that I can go in and take a stroll around any temple I come across in the future, and it is the small temples that make it easier for Zhai Da to "meet friends by chance".
It seemed that whatever he thought came true. Zhai Da was strolling around when another broken line appeared in his sight, which made him a little stunned.

Is the frequency so high?
Or did you draw the best fortune and has it started to take effect?
In front of me is a tree that is not very tall. The tree is wrapped with red ribbons and prayer signs are hung under the ribbons. This is a common business in temples and Taoist temples. The sign costs five yuan each. You write the words on it yourself and the staff will hang it up.

Brackets - if they are full, they will be cleared
Maybe because it is not easy to cultivate a tree suitable for hanging signs, this tree is fake. It is very short and has a very wide crown. It looks pretty good when it is covered with red ribbons.

The fold line points to a "clothesline" in the corner.

It is made of wood, more than one meter long, and has a "Y"-shaped fork on the top. It seems to be used by the staff to hang prayer boards high up, and should also be used to clean the prayer boards.

"Congratulations to the host, for discovering the white special item [Miscellaneous Thoughts Branch]: The old poplar tree was too straight to satisfy the needs of humans for praying, so it was cut down and its roots dug out. The remaining bits were made into this pole to hang a blessing sign on the fake tree that has taken over the magpie's nest."

"Ownership status: Not owned, not activated."

"Equipment effect: Hitting the head has a chance to dispel distracting thoughts."

"Note: The trees are fake, so how can the wishes come true? They are just distracting thoughts."

Zhai Da felt that he was really lucky today. He really wanted to visit the temple more often in the future!

Twenty minutes later, Zhai Da, who still had an "unfinished relationship" with Shahe Temple, got the [Branch of Miscellaneous Thoughts] as he wished. The name of this equipment is quite charming, but the effect is rather useless.

When there were few people around, Zhai Da knocked his head, but there was no change.

I haven't figured out the probability of eliminating distracting thoughts, but it's a headache. After all, it's a solid wooden stick.

To be precise, although I got two pieces of equipment by opening the double doors today, their effects were relatively unpopular, and [Useless Best Luck] was slightly better.

Looking at the watch, there was still a quarter of an hour before the agreed gathering time. Zhai Da simply found a corner with few people and sat down to wait. Then, while eating potato chips, he opened the equipment list in the system and, as usual, began to use the exhaustive method to try to find the "synthesis path".

Not long after, Zhai Da was stunned.

Two pieces of equipment were found in the same place on the same day, and these two pieces can actually be combined.
Is it really fate?

After looking around, he now wanted to find a "closed environment", and finally returned to the place where he had drunk tea with the "fortune-interpreting old man" before.

The door was not locked and no one was there, so Zhai Da made some arrangements and drew the curtains.

As soon as the door closed, he immediately selected "Confirm Synthesis" in the system.

"The environment is detected to be suitable for synthesis. Please do not destroy the environment or observe without authorization."

"Shielding the waves, collapsing reality, clearing the traces"

"Synthesis completed."

Zhai Da opened the door, and the [Useless Fortune Lottery] and [Branch of Miscellaneous Thoughts] placed in the corner had disappeared.

Instead, there was a lump of wood with deep red patterns and a bamboo stick placed horizontally on top of it.

The materials are as expected. After all, the original equipment were made of one wood and one bamboo, both of which are reflected in the new results.

"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully synthesized the green equipment [Six Pure Wooden Fish]: Distractions go away! Good luck is coming!"

"Ownership Status: Owned, Activated."

"Equipment Effect 1: When you strike, there is a chance to eliminate distracting thoughts nearby, including your own. The purer your six senses are, the greater the chance and the wider the range."

"Equipment Effect 2: After eliminating 100 distracting thoughts, the user will gain a "strong luck" which is effective for six hours."

"Special effect 'Because he is kind!': During the duration of the strong luck, it is difficult for outsiders to have ill will towards the user."

"Special Effect Unlocking Task: Eliminate 1000 distracting thoughts cumulatively."

"Note: If you are not sincere, the more you knock, the more annoyed you will be."

This "little wooden fish" is only the size of an apple, dark red in color, round and cute, with a little patina, and is very suitable for holding in one hand.

The whole body is round and hollow, with a seam on the front, and no other decoration.

There is only a big "six" written on the top.

It’s really “six”.

The small stick used to beat the wooden fish is made of bamboo. One end of the stick is written with "上", and the other end is confusingly written with another "上". It seems to imply a good fortune.
【Joker Poker】 should be given to the system, it is more humorous than Zhai Da.

Zhai Da picked it up and squeezed it.
The feel is just right, as if it conforms to ergonomics, and it looks easy to polish from shape to material.

Picking up the small bamboo pole, Zhai Da knocked it experimentally.

"Duk~" is not too loud, but very crisp and pleasant.

If you force yourself to associate it, the tone sounds very much like a “six”.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Zhai Da kept knocking, and the more he knocked, the more he frowned.
Why is there no effect? Not to mention the feeling of eliminating distracting thoughts, even the "unblocking task" clearly tells him that the cumulative elimination of distracting thoughts is (0/1000).

Zhai Da subconsciously increased the frequency and pounded it to death.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk~”

“Knock knock knock knock knock~”

Occasionally, passers-by would be dazed when they saw Zhai Da beating the wooden fish in secular clothes.

Six!

When visiting a temple, do you bring your own instruments?
Zhai Da knocked for ten minutes, but there was still no effect. His distracting thoughts were not eliminated, but instead he felt upset!
According to the system, this will further reduce the probability of "triggering", and it seems to have entered a dead loop.
"I knock on Rima."

Zhai Da looked gloomy and simply threw the thing into his backpack.

The knock-knock sound continued, and Zhai Da felt a little tinnitus.

I don’t know if the sentence in the system notes, “The more I type, the more annoying it gets,” is a hidden mechanism or a purely physical effect, but it’s really annoying.

I know that my six senses are not pure, but you must have a basic probability, right?
He has been asking for hundreds of points but still hasn't made any progress. This means that it will take him half his lifetime just to unlock the tasks.

Zhai Da sighed, feeling that there were fewer tourists, he looked at his watch, stood up and walked towards the meeting point.

No matter how you look at it, today was a fruitful day. Just because Xiao Muyu didn't understand, it didn't stop him from getting a piece of "green equipment".

When he reached the gate, Zhai Da happened to meet Fan Junwei who was walking out.

He raised the remaining incense sticks in his hand. It was useless to take them back. "Did you finish spinning? Have you burned the incense? I still have a few left."

He guessed that Fan Junwei might not have bought incense in order to save money.

Fan Junwei shook his head and said, "No, when I was a kid, my grandmother had a statue of Buddha in my dormitory. I worshiped it every day, but it was useless. I still have to rely on myself in life."

This was heard by tourists nearby, and a middle-aged man could not help but say, "Young man, this is very disrespectful to the Bodhisattva. If praying to the Buddha and worshipping the Buddha is not effective, it is because your heart is not sincere enough, and the Bodhisattva is unwilling to help you."

Fan Junwei scratched his head: "But I really don't expect the Bodhisattva to help me, why do I have to be 'honest'?"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Be careful of the Buddha's anger! You will be punished."

Fan Junwei turned around and took a look at the brand new Buddha statue shining with golden light.

“That’s pretty cautious.”

The class 8 of Grade 3 went down the mountain in a mighty procession. They bought some roasted corn, starch sausage and other things in the "Special Tourism Food Matrix" at the foot of the mountain. Then they wandered around for another hour and returned to Dongyang County.

On the way back, everyone was tired. The boys stopped trying to show off and looked for seats one by one. Some even felt sleepy from the sun and fell asleep leaning against the car window.

When we got off the bus again, it was already dusk. We took another bus to the dinner place.

Wu Yue's restaurant.

Zhai Da was also quite surprised when he received the notice. This was not the location chosen in his previous life, but in another small restaurant. Later he heard that it was Wu Yue who took the initiative to propose it and strongly recommended his own restaurant in the group.

Considering that my classmate's store was more trustworthy and our budget was limited, we finally decided to stay here.

"Wu's Time-honored Local Cuisine Restaurant" is the name of Wu Yue's restaurant. As for how it is called an "time-honored restaurant", it's just like most "restaurant bragging", so don't ask.

The boss is quite old.

Walking over from a distance, I saw Wu Yue moving beer from the tricycle that he had used to help Zhai Dala pull the [Old Man's TV].

Everyone greeted each other with a familiar yet unfamiliar voice. To people except Zhai Da, Wu Yue had disappeared for more than a month. He was basically one of the first group not to come to school.

Wu Yue opened the door and asked everyone to go upstairs directly.

There are only three private rooms upstairs, all of which are occupied. There is enough space, but the only pity is that although the rooms are door to door, there is a wall between them, so the view is not that wide.

But Wu Yue gave discounts to classmates!

At the front desk, Wu Yue's father greeted every classmate who passed by with a smile, but when he looked at so many people of Wu Yue's age, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Zhai Da didn't go up directly. After greeting Wu's father, he found Wu Yue and asked, "Why don't you go to Shahe Temple together during the day? What are you busy with? Are you opening an order again?"

Wu Yue whispered, "It's been quiet lately. I think it's because the Olympics are coming up. The atmosphere is a little off. Several places I've visited have closed themselves."

Zhai Da thought you were quite sensitive.
"Besides, I have to prepare in advance in the store. I arrived two hours early, and everything was ready, including dishes, chopsticks, Coke, and seats."

He patted the beer box and said, "This is the last box. I have already moved eight boxes up."

Zhai Da raised his eyebrows: "Why are you so high-pitched? Are you going to drink yourself to death?"

Wu Yue: "This is just the beginning. The day before yesterday, a class from No. 3 Middle School also had a party in my store. More than 20 people drank 16 boxes. It was the first reunion after graduation. Just kidding~, when they left, several of them vomited like a sprinkler truck!"

High school students may not be able to drink much, but they are really brave. Maybe in their concept, blackout is the most basic operation. Blackout means that you have drunk enough.

Body? Isn't the body meant to be squandered?
Zhai Da quickly shook his head: "Anyway, I won't drink like this. I'm trying to lose weight recently."

"What's the point of you telling me? You are a famous figure, a real dragon in wool spinning. Just wait and see how many people toast you in a while!"

As he was speaking, Zhai Da's cell phone vibrated slightly and a text message came in.

After taking a look, he said to Wu Yue:
"Is there enough space? A friend of mine plans to meet me halfway."
