Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 5 The Abilities of Fun People
Chaotic thoughts burst out in Luo Lin's mind at this moment. Luo Lin felt as if he was in the starry sky, and as if he was exiled to the end of chaos and abyss.

An ordinary person might be confused in this situation, but Rowling was very calm. He skillfully began to focus his thoughts and use reason to suppress the madness and chaos in his body.

Then all the chaos and darkness disappeared in an instant. Rowling opened his eyes and realized that he had become a "fun person" of Sequence 9.

"The core ability of the Fun Man potion is emotion manipulation. It allows me to sense and temporarily manipulate the emotions of others to a certain extent. It also enhances my inspiration, allowing me to perform divinations like a fortune teller, learn and use various ritual magic, and strengthens my learning ability. It also strengthens my mental and observation abilities, making my words more persuasive and able to distort others' minds to a certain extent. Furthermore, my speed and strength have also increased to a certain extent."

While Luo Lin was sensing the changes in his body, he summarized:

"Also, because I used the Time Worm as a supplementary material, I gained the Fire Thief's ability to steal other Beyonders' abilities. Due to the special nature of Amon's Time Worm, I can even preserve the stolen abilities for quite a long time. However, currently, the success rate is only higher for Beyonders of the same Sequence 9 level. The greater the gap between them and higher-level Beyonders, the lower the success rate."

"In other words, in addition to the core abilities of an entertainer, I now also possess the core abilities of a fortune teller and an audience member, some of the extraordinary abilities of a lawyer, which are equivalent to the speed and strength of a warrior, and the core abilities of a fire thief." Even after Rowling summarized this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile.

Admittedly, apart from the ability to steal extraordinary abilities brought by the Time Worm, the other abilities of the Fun Man Potion did not exceed the scope of Sequence 9, but it was too much!
This means that others only have one skill when they are promoted to Sequence 9, but after being promoted, Rowling has several more skills than others.

"Let me think about it. It's actually quite reasonable. After all, he's a fun-loving person. Emotional manipulation makes it easier to create fun, divination can help find fun, and keen observation is essential for finding fun. And the increase in speed and strength makes it easier to fight and escape after finding fun." Luo Lin said as he spoke confidently, nodding. "It makes sense, very reasonable!"

As for Naya having these extraordinary abilities, it is even more reasonable.

"But I think digesting the Fun Man potion is probably more difficult than a normal Sequence 9 potion. It's probably equivalent to digesting three or four bottles of normal Sequence 9 potions." Luo Lin felt it again and came to a conclusion. "As expected, power does not come without a price. Fortunately, it is still within an acceptable range."

"So what should I do next? Let me think about it..." Rowling tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, a subconscious action when he was thinking.

"I definitely have to go to Tingen. Pales and Azik are both high-level combatants on our side. Although both of them are at low health, as long as I can improve their favorability, I can borrow their power. It's almost like a ready-made cheat code for me. With this cheat code, no matter what I do, I'm guaranteed to be safe."

If he hadn't encountered Amon, Luo Lin might have slowed down and waited until the Tingen incident was over before approaching Pales. But since Amon already knew of his existence, even if all the clones in that area were eliminated, there was no guarantee that Amon would not guess something.

Not to mention that after he summoned the Shadow of Time and contacted the ancient sun god of the past, the real creator and Adam today must have obtained memories related to him and will definitely pay attention to him, so Rowling must acquire a certain self-protection ability as soon as possible.

"Maybe someone is already squatting in the corner..." Rowling complained, but he didn't really care about it.

After all, with Adam's ability, if he really wanted to do something to Rowling, there would be no point in him panicking. In that case, he might as well do what he has to do.

"The only problem is that the Tingen incident is not easy to get involved in. Let's not talk about whether there is a confrontation between Darkness and a certain Son of God behind it. Even if we only look at the surface of Ins and 008, it is not easy to solve." Rowling narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not consider himself a particularly smart person, nor did he think he could beat 008. After all, the opponent was cheating.

008 can interfere with thoughts, manipulate fate, and even summon meteorites. It also possesses the characteristic of "everything it says must be known." Luo Lin, currently a mere Sequence 9 rookie who hasn't yet earned the favor of any of the big guys, doesn't think he can outdo this quill. This isn't about boosting others' ambitions and diminishing his own prestige, but rather self-awareness.

"But there's no need for me to go against 008..." Luo Lin tapped the table lightly, his lips curled up slightly, "I don't intend to get too involved in the Tingen incident."

Rowling's goal in going to Tingen was very clear: to gain the favor of Pales and Azik, and if circumstances permitted, to get to know Klein. These goals themselves did not require Rowling to get involved in the Tingen incident.

Rollin could have been a completely invisible figure in Ince and 008's plan, and then...

Decide whether to make a shining appearance at the critical moment depending on the situation.

This is better than getting involved blindly. After all, Rowling knows himself well. With his brain, the more he gets involved, the more confused he will become, and in the end, things will be a mess. It is better to grasp the key point - Ins will definitely attack the Tingen Nighthawks. Instead of fighting with the other party, it is better to wait and see, and strike at the critical moment.

As for whether 008 had sensed his thoughts... Luo Lin suddenly smiled with his eyes curved, and chuckled softly, "I'm not interested in messing with you, and I hope you don't bother me, otherwise we'll all die together!"

After saying this, Luo Lin didn't care who could hear it. He turned to think about how to approach Azik and Pales after arriving in Tingen.

The former is easy to deal with. Azik, who is in a state of amnesia, has a gentle personality. As long as you find the right entry point, it will not be difficult to get familiar with him.

The latter is a pure old fox.

"Let me think about it. Pretending to be a clueless descendant of Zoroaster and trying to scam Pales won't work. While Pales loves his juniors, he's no fool. I don't have the confidence to play the innocent role perfectly with Pales. Going down this path might just backfire." Rowling simulated various developments in his mind, and gradually came up with some ideas:

"It would be better to directly reveal my uniqueness and go to Pallez to curry favor with him, pretending to be a descendant of Zoroaster who has had some adventures and is a bit clever. Although this will definitely make him wary of me, at least it won't be easy to get into trouble."

"Although this will make it more difficult to gain favor, it's not unacceptable with Azik as a backup." Luo Lin made a decision in his heart, and when he thought of the Amon Card's Time Worm that he had carefully preserved, he couldn't help but smile.

"What's more, it's not impossible to quickly gain this favorability."

Pales' biggest enemy is Amon, and his biggest ambition is to deal with Amon. Starting from this point, he can definitely gain some favor.
