Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 378

The next morning, Xiao Ran woke up from the bed, glanced at the time on the wall, and couldn't help but stretch.

Although I only slept for more than five hours, my mental state was extremely good.

Walking downstairs to the kitchen, Xiao Ran made a simple breakfast of fried eggs, sausages, bread, and a bowl of oatmeal porridge.

These don't require any cooking skills, and although they are a bit light for breakfast, they are just right.

Okra had been waiting by the side early in the morning, looking at the breakfast on the plate, and couldn't wait to take the plate to the dining table to eat.

"Sister Liu said that she doesn't like breakfast, so I can have her portion, okay?"

"of course can."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran did not disturb Sister Liu and handed another breakfast to Qiu Kui.

"You gain +100 favorability with Bone Spirit Qiuku"

Xiao Ran didn't expect that such a small gesture could increase Qiu Kui's favorability. It can be seen that his attention to Qiu Kui was too low before.

As a unique industry in Guling Street, okra still has great potential. I have to pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Ran walked out the door and came to the mailbox at the door. Looking at his mailbox, his heart gradually began to become hot.

All the rewards from my last mission are in this mailbox.

Although the score of this maze city is not very high, the number of tasks completed is large.

With a strong sense of anticipation, Xiao Ran opened the mailbox.

First, two light blue potions were taken out.

D-level cursed item: [Spiritual Potion] No activation required.

After taking it, agility is permanently increased by 5, and in the following time, movement speed is increased by 300%
Duration: 3 hours
Interval time: 30 hours
"Not bad, it's equivalent to +10 points of agility, which is exactly what I lack."

My strength, physique and spirit have now exceeded 50 points.

The only problem is that my agility is a bit low, so this thing is a timely help to me.

Xiao Ran put this thing away for the time being. After all, it tripled the movement speed, which was very useful for escaping at critical moments.

Continue to reach into the mailbox and feel around.

Obtained E-level spell pattern [Exorcist]

"A new profession, but unfortunately I can't use it."

Xiao Ran continued to explore.

"Obtain F-rank spell mark [Half-open eyes]"

It's still a scroll for a new profession. Keep searching...

Soon Xiao Ran felt something heavy in his hand. He reached out and took it out. It was a tweed bag with purple patterns.

"Discover whether the D-level cursed item [Energy Recharge Bag] is activated."

The cursed item has finally arrived. Looking at the exquisite bag in my hand, it is obviously not an ordinary item.

"activation!"

As the green curse pattern emerged from the palm of the hand, the next moment the curse pattern drilled into the cursed object.

【Energy Bag·Lucky One】

Perk 1: Energy Gem

After activation, you can extract a flawless energy gem from it, which can be used as a universal energy source to replenish the energy consumed by other cursed objects, yourself, and others.

A maximum of 40% of the consumed energy can be replenished at one time
Cooldown: 3 days

Privilege 2: Lucky Bag

After activation, you can draw a lucky gem from it.

Lucky Gem: It can add a blessing of luck to you for a short period of time.

Duration: 2 hours
Cooling time: 3 days.

Looking at the cursed object in front of him, Xiao Ran thought for a moment and felt that this thing would be of great help to him.

Especially the energy gem. With this thing, whether it is your [Head-Slaying Sword] or [Spiritual Clothes], each time it is consumed, it can be replenished by 40% with this thing.
Especially the [Spiritual Clothes], if you encounter the situation like last time, you can use this thing as an emergency measure.

As for the lucky gem, well, I don’t know how effective it is. Xiao Ran plans to try it later.

Then continue to rummage through the mailbox.

"Obtain E-level cursed item [Flash Shield Talisman x2]"

Two yellow talismans appeared in Xiao Ran's hands. He took a look at the contents and found that they were disposable consumables.

After use, it will create a strong light and has extremely high lethality to ghosts, but it is useless against living things and can only be used as a flash bomb at best.

After putting it away, Xiao Ran continued to touch down, and this time he found three spell patterns.

F-level spell pattern [Scholar], D-level spell pattern [Taoist priest], E-level spell pattern [Guardian].

Looking at the three spell patterns, Xiao Ran had a strange expression.

Putting the scholar aside for now, there is actually a [Taoist] spell pattern, and it is D-level. Doesn't that mean that someone can directly enter the D-level through this spell pattern? ?
Moreover, the profession of Taoist priest sounds unusual, after all, it is one of the three religions among the three religions and nine classes.

It would be a lie for Xiao Ran to say that he wasn't moved. After thinking it over again and again, he gave up the idea.

Not to mention that I am not a Taoist priest, I have no knowledge of Taoist classics, not even the basic knowledge. Choosing this profession is just an empty shell.

What's more, there is no reference at all as to how to advance in the future or what career to pursue.

So after much thought, Xiao Ran decided to put this spell pattern away. Not only can spell patterns be combined with each other to upgrade, they can also be swallowed and strengthened.

I didn't consider this before because the spell patterns were too expensive.

Now that I have money, I can swallow a few of these curse patterns and try. If it doesn't work, I can use the corpse soul transformation to embed this curse pattern into the corpse, which will also be a good helper for me.

The third spell, [Guardian], is an E-level spell. Like [Taoist Priest], it is a new profession, but lacks an advancement path.

After putting away the three spell patterns, Xiao Ran continued to reach into the mailbox.

This time, he felt something in the mailbox. It was cold and a little heavy.

Clearly a cursed object.

When I took it out and took a look, it turned out to be a bronze prosthetic arm.

"Get the C-level cursed item [Luban Assistant], do you want to activate it?"

"activation!"

As Xiao Ran's thoughts flashed through his mind, when the spell patterns poured into the bronze arm, a strong feeling arose in Xiao Ran's heart at the same time, as if he and this hand had some kind of connection, as if the two were one and the same.

Without waiting for Xiao Ran to react, the end of this thing extended a slender tentacle and wrapped around Xiao Ran's shoulders. Then the tentacles tightened and the thing stood on it.

But Xiao Ran did not feel any rejection, instead he felt as if this thing was originally a part of his body.

【Luban Hand·Lucky Man】

When the cursed object is activated, it will connect to the user and become a part of the user's body.

Privilege 1: Dexterity

Can copy the user's professional skills, and the skills are half a level higher than the user's own proficiency.

(Note: The profession used to activate this curse cannot be copied.)
Perk 2: Lucky Hand

Under certain circumstances, the lucky hand effect will occasionally be triggered, allowing one's work to reach a standard that exceeds its grade.

The trigger probability is 30%
After each trigger, it will enter a cooling-off period, during which it will not be triggered a second time.

Cooling time: 30 hours
Xiao Ran then tried to activate both the Corpse Catcher and Horizontal Training professions.

What you get by activating horizontal training is two abilities. One is copy, which can copy a melee skill.

Another ability is called Super Strength Attack. After activation, the next time the arm attacks, it will burst out with damage of 3 times the strength.

However, using the Corpse Catcher to activate it tends to be more auxiliary.

The first privilege is called the tool assistant hand, which can be used to derive some small mechanisms.

For example, lighting, body cutting knives, and carrying pliers.

The second privilege, the art of cooking

After activation, one will gain the skill of butchering for a short period of time and be able to quickly dissect a corpse.

The effect is unknown, Xiao Ran hasn't had time to try it yet.

"Not to mention the effects of corpse-catching and horizontal training, if you are lucky, your suture skills will be improved by half a level, so..."

Xiao Ran looked back at the door behind him and thought, don’t forget, he still has property.

With the addition of real estate, you can improve your professional skills by half a level.

In other words, as long as he sews it up in his own home, he can use this cursed object to exert the ability of a C-level [Smuggler]?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but his heartbeat quickened. Before, he was still thinking about how to meet the requirements for upgrading the [Evil-Suppressing Order].

It seems that the difficulty of suturing three corpses above C level has been greatly reduced.

"Obtained the E-level cursed item [Power Pills x3]"

Three powerful pills can increase your strength by 20 points after taking them, and the duration is 1 hour.

It’s not bad, but the side effects are a bit severe. After an hour, I will feel faint.

They can be used in combination, which means that eating three pills together can increase your strength by 60 points.

This thing is terrifying. It's best to lock someone up and use it desperately all the time. Of course, the side effects will be even greater, and it may not be as simple as just exhaustion.

This thing might be considered a prop to others, but it is really useless to Xiao Ran. However, it can be thrown to the corpse slaves to eat.

Xiao Ran thought that was about the end of it, so he casually reached into his mailbox again.

"Yeah. And more!"

Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and took out a gourd.

"Is the Level C cursed item [Ghost Soldier Gourd] activated?"

"C-rank cursed item!"

Xiao Ran's eyes lit up. He thought carefully about the settlement upon his return. It seemed that there really was such a thing, but he had been so busy lately that he had forgotten about it.

The gourd is black and covered with patina.

It has a strong smell of corpse and looks like an item that is very suitable for the corpse collector.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran decided to use the corpse catcher to activate it this time.

【Gourd of the Ghostly Soldiers: The Corpse Catcher】

Privilege 1: Corpse-raising gourd.

The corpse can be stored in it, catching the corpse evil in the gourd to nourish the corpse soldiers.

If it is an ordinary corpse, there will be signs of "decomposition", so please invest with caution.

(Note: "Hua Shi" means that the corpse is melted by the corpse evil and becomes a part of the corpse evil.)
Privilege 2: Corpse Curse
If the corpse thrown in has blood relatives, the corpse's blood relatives can be cursed on a large scale through the corpse curse.

The stronger the corpse evil in the gourd, the better the effect.

(Note: There is no corpse stored in the gourd for the time being. If a corpse is placed in it and it forms a corpse evil, its properties will no longer be able to be changed. Please consider carefully.)
　Sorry, I had a bad cold yesterday. I was too embarrassed to ask for leave, so I only updated one chapter. I will make it up after I recover.
