Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 840 The Dormitory Supervisor's Pen
Xiao Ran is making very rapid progress.

Just as Jin Chanzi said, his level of cultivation is what it is, and once he understands one thing, everything else falls into place. Nothing can hold him back. Moreover, Xiao Ran is a master of the art of suppressing evil and is also the contemporary Plum Blossom Taoist.

There are countless techniques and methods, but they all ultimately follow the same fundamental principles. If someone can't even grasp these basics, then that would be a real joke.

The night before, Xiao Ran had already made lifelike paper animals. After adding eyes, these paper effigies seemed to come alive and walk out of his room.

But Xiao Ran was clearly not satisfied with that; he started stabbing people.

Who should be stabbed?

Xiao Ran thought of Gao Yuting, but only for a moment before he dared not think about it anymore. He was afraid that if Gao Yuting really came out, he would not be able to control his emotions, and the entire Jingqi Pavilion, or even the entire Ruzhou City, might be affected.

After much thought, Xiao Ran decided to start identifying his enemies one by one.

The first enemy he thought of was the "tiger" of the Changchun Association.

The image of this guy back in Hongxiang Village, who, with his external martial arts skills, paper-making abilities, and dual D-level professions, easily defeated the village's patriarch, forcing him to avoid his attacks, is something Xiao Ran will never forget.

It could be said that the tiger broadened Xiao Ran's horizons.

Xiao Ran finished drawing the tiger, raised the brush in her hand, and the tiger's appearance and expression flashed through her mind. In an instant, Xiao Ran's energy and spirit gathered on the tip of the brush, and she gently touched the paper figure.

Suddenly, the paper figure in front of him had sharp eyes. Although it was made of paper, the spirit in its eyes was as if the tiger had been reborn and was standing in front of him.

Xiao Ran was somewhat lost in thought.

Following Xiao Ran, he continued to make paper. As he became more and more proficient in paper-making, he began to combine it with the professional skills of a paper craftsman: paper control.

With the help of her professional skills, Xiao Ran's paper offerings became more and more beautiful and lifelike.

So much so that you could occasionally see paper horses, paper cows, paper rabbits, paper figures, and so on jumping out of his room.

Everyone got used to it and didn't bother to pay attention, so no one bothered to care.

Who would have thought that some paper figure would secretly open the back door, and all the paper horses, paper oxen, and paper figures would rush out into the street.

As a result, people would see these rascals wandering around the streets in the middle of the night, causing chaos and disorder throughout the entire city of Ruzhou.

The company's security team was quickly mobilized, and everyone thought it was an evil spirit.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these were all paper figures and posed no real danger, leading to the lifting of martial law.

Of course, this matter inevitably required going to the Amazing Pavilion, where a fine was issued and the matter was dropped.

Xiao Ran paid no attention to these things, or rather, he didn't care, as his paper-making skills became more and more proficient.

He finally managed to grasp the basics of this technique and met the requirements for advancing to C-level.

Xiao Ran took out the things that Li Botong had prepared from her spatial storage.

A portion of cinnabar clay, two scrolls of incantations.

This unassuming cinnabar mud is actually the most expensive item among them; it is a cursed artifact called "Pure Yang Cinnabar" made by a C-level barefoot doctor.

This is the key item needed to advance to the C-level finishing touch level.

A small portion, but quite valuable.

It costs a full 30,000 ghost money, and the key point is that even wealthy families might not make it for you. It is said that making such cinnabar requires a lot of time and is very troublesome.

But these things were not a problem for Xiao Ran at all.

With the support of the Amazing Pavilion, he doesn't need to worry about the resources he needs.

About an hour later.

Xiao Ran easily completed the advancement ceremony and became a Level 3C professional.

The professional skill of the person who performs the "eye-opening" ritual is called "enhancing the eyes and opening the gaze."

It allows one to temporarily transform all tangible things into living beings.

For example, if there is a dragon painted on the wall, you can use divine paint to bring the dragon to life.

That sounds really impressive.

But in reality, what is fake is fake. All sorts of tricks and methods are ultimately just illusions.

It won't last long before it reverts to its original state.

Xiao Ran didn't care about that; what he really cared about was something else.

Xiao Ran took out a fountain pen from her spatial storage.

Grade A Cursed Item: The Dormitory Supervisor's Pen

This was the first A-grade cursed item I obtained. As an A-grade cursed item, it possesses the power to influence the rules of a region.

If the [Dragon Abyss] in your possession is judged to be executed, no matter what other means the opponent has, they will be frozen, all their abilities will be blocked, and their own movement ability will be blocked, leaving them with only the fate of being executed.

This is the power of rules, which can also be understood as a kind of authority.

In contrast, the privileges granted to the "Dragon Abyss" and "Dormitory Manager's Pen" are even more outrageous.

Last time, he only changed one word, and his guillotine was given the opportunity to be promoted to [Dragon Abyss].

It's easy to imagine how precious this thing is.

Such a powerful cursed object, yet Xiao Ran has never used it. This isn't his fault; rather, it's because the level of authority associated with it is very high. He had tried using it with the professions of smuggler and executioner, but the privileges he obtained were quite ordinary.

No, it can't be called ordinary either.

There is still a force capable of changing the rules.

For example, the executioner can write a decree to kill. Each decree will cause the target to suffer real damage once. Once three decrees are written on the target, the target will lose all ability to act.

Its effects are almost identical to Longyuan, but it's much more troublesome to use. In fact, it doesn't even truly deliver on its potential.

Xiao Ran naturally wouldn't easily reveal this item. The night watchman, Li Ji, had told her that revealing it would bring her a lot of trouble.

This is also why Xiao Ran kept this item hidden away.

I now possess a C-level professional Enlightener, which meets the activation requirements for this item. The only problem now is...

Whether this thing can truly achieve its intended effect.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran took a deep breath and placed her palm on the pen.

A blue rune flashed from his fingertip and merged into the pen, instantly giving rise to a blue light on the pen.

As the blue light appeared, the information about this cursed item also appeared before Xiao Ran's eyes.

A-grade cursed item: [The Dormitory Supervisor's Pen - The Finishing Touch]

Privilege 1: Lightly described

You can modify the privilege entries on a cursed item.

Note: Modifications must not exceed the authority level of the item itself.

Privilege 2: Divine Paint

Using the divine anointing can cover the contents of any cursed object, message, or text, eliminating all negativity.

Duration: 3 hour
Cooling time: 24 hours.

Note: If the altered content generates significant karmic force, the user will need to pay a large amount of ghost money as an additional cost. The greater the karmic force, the higher the cost.

"hiss!!!"

Looking at the information displayed in front of her, Xiao Ran's heart couldn't help but race.

Wow, that truly lives up to its reputation as an A-grade cursed item.

Both the first and second privileges are incredibly powerful, almost like divine skills.

The former targets cursed objects, while the latter can cover up or obscure any textual information.

The combination of the two is ridiculously powerful.

Almost impatiently, Xiao Ran wanted to find a cursed object immediately to verify these two super privileges.

His mind raced, and his hand instinctively reached into his own space.

"It's the perfect tool for testing... nothing else compares!"

With a flash of light, a golden scroll, exuding an ancient and unique aura, appeared in his hand.

The scroll is made of neither cloth nor paper; it feels warm to the touch and has a strange resilience, with a faint golden halo flowing across its surface.

This thing is none other than the treasure [Locust Ranking] that Huang Chao once possessed.

The B-grade cursed item, 【Locust God's Forbidden List】, does not require activation.

All laws listed on the list exist without moral principles; their origins must be suppressed and their source severed.

Privilege 1: Names on the blacklist are banned.

The ability to write restrictions on the Locust List, once used, will seal the power of all users within a kilometer radius, rendering them unable to use it.

[Note: This item has seven restricted slots. Once a binding ability is written on it, it cannot be changed.]

Cooldown time: 7 days

[Note: Activating this privilege requires offering sacrifices to the Locust God. The higher the quality of the sacrifices, the longer the privilege lasts.]

Privilege 2: Locust God's Decree

Once this privilege is activated, one's words become law, and one can unleash an extremely powerful divine spell through recitation.

Cooldown time: thirteen days
[Note: Activating this privilege requires offering sacrifices to the Locust God; the higher the quality of the sacrifices, the better the effect.]

This cursed artifact was a treasure that Huang Chao specifically acquired to deal with him.

Don't let its B-grade cursed item fool you; its effects are truly overpowered.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing requires offerings to the Locust God every time it's used, it would definitely be a Grade A cursed item.

Five abilities have already been filled in above.

It prohibits witchcraft, knife techniques, flying swords, magic spells, and corpse control.

These were all written by Huang Chao to deal with me. There were only seven positions in total, but Huang Chao wrote five of them in one go to target me. You can imagine how much Huang Chao hated me.

This treasure fell into Xiao Ran's hands, and Xiao Ran was helpless about it. After all, it was specifically designed for him, and he himself could not use it.

But now we have the dormitory manager's fountain pen.

It seems that everything has become simple.

Xiao Ran picked up a pen, stared at the contents of the imperial edict, raised an eyebrow, and lightly touched the pen with it.

"Privilege: Light Touch, activate!"

As Xiao Ran's mind stirred, the [Dormitory Manager's Pen] in his hand began to flash with eerie blue-green runes.

Then, he gently tapped the pen against the "Locust List" in front of him. The list trembled, and the characters on it began to change.
