Kisaragi's Long-Strange Collection Notes

Without Xiao Shuang's guidance, Chen Meimei locked onto her target on her own.

Those were four long, thick needles.

Two yellow, one red, and one white.

"Xiao Shuang, take a look at these four needles."

[[Strange knitting needle]: Can be used to knit sweaters. These are proper sweaters, but you can be creative with what you use to knit them.]

"Hmm? No side effects?"

No, this is not a [mystery item].

"But why do I feel like this is the perfect match for me? A bit like that [destined item]?"

[A "personal item" is a very special and unique item, and its true effects cannot be determined by testing. It is recommended to buy it first and then explore its potential gradually. It's better to buy the wrong one than to miss out on something you truly love.]

This time, the stall owner was an old man.

His stall was in a bad location, near the exit of the night market, and there were few customers in front of it.

They were very welcoming when they saw the guests arrive.

"Young man, what's on your mind? I'll give you a fair price right away."

Chen Meimei pointed to her hat and scarf: "Grandpa, what's your name? You can't get anything out of me now, I've already used up most of my time."

"Just call me Lao Bao. It's not easy with exams coming up. Take whatever you want. I'm not going to make up stories for you."

"What are these four needles for?"

"It's probably for knitting sweaters, but some people have tried it and found that you can't knit a complete garment with yarn. You always end up with knots that just won't come out."

"Can it be used as a weapon to stab people?"

"No one has tried it, so it probably can't be done. The needle core is hollow, so it's definitely not as effective as a knife."

"I like it, I'll take it. Name your price."

"About six years."

Old Bao's asking price wasn't low; he wanted to make a profit, but he wasn't trying to rip off anyone. After all, although this item wasn't a "mysterious item," it did exhibit mysterious characteristics and was considered a magical prop.

Magical items are a level below [mysterious items] in terms of effectiveness.

The advantage is that there are no side effects, but the disadvantage is that the effect is too small.

Using the analogy of human "mysterious" abilities, "mysterious items" represent the true ability starting at "mysterious" level 1, while magical gadgets represent the rudimentary form of an "mysterious" ability at level 0.99, like a soon-to-be graduate.

The saying goes, "Even a hero can be brought down in a minute."

Chen Meimei has only been around for a little over two years, which is quite a long time.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and picked up his watch to ask for time.

Why do we say he's shameless?

Because no one is willing to lend money to soon-to-be graduates, and the reasons are obvious to those who know, the repayment rate is only 5%.

The first person Chen Meimei thought of was her good neighbor, the clown.

He sent the message directly, asking for a 6-year term and stating that he would only repay the principal and not pay interest.

Chen Meimei was very self-righteous.

You should know that in order not to expose the clown, he did not report [the chef]. According to the city hall, there would have been a large reward if he had reported him.

Chen Meimei waited for a few minutes.

He knew the Joker wouldn't reply quickly; that guy didn't have the habit of checking his watch often.

In his backup plan, the second choice was the Jiang family, specifically Jiang Lao.

They've given away "stationery" that's been around for hundreds of years, so they probably won't care about a mere 6 years.

As for the teachers at school and the classmates around him, he didn't want to speak.

The Joker replied to the message in the 7th minute.

They transferred 6 years to him remotely.

Chen Meimei is very satisfied with the watch's money transfer function, which is said to be free of charge if the transaction is within the same city.

"Old Bao, sorry to keep you waiting. I've borrowed it. Let's make the deal."

Old Bao was watching Chen Meimei contact someone remotely, and he felt a little bad that she wasn't negotiating the price at all.

"Young man, is there anything else you like at my stall? Pick one more, buy one get one free."

Chen Meimei got her [destined item] and was in a good mood:

"Old Bao, no need for that. It's only because you met me that you've come to this. If you had met another chosen one, the gift you gave away would have been a priceless treasure that was misjudged, and you would have been crying for the rest of your life."

After saying that, Chen Meimei didn't delay and immediately walked out of the night market exit.

I can't look at too much; the more I look, the more I want to buy. Borrowed time is never quite enough. After graduation, besides becoming stronger, I'll have to find a way to make some time for myself.

Go home quickly.

In the living room.

Chen Meimei, Qinghua, Bobo, and the invisible Xiaoshuang stared maliciously at the four knitting needles on the small coffee table in front of the sofa.

As it turns out, looking, touching, knocking, burning, blistering, saliva, dripping blood, etc., have no effect.

It's still a knitting needle.

[Your destined item] It's not enough for someone else to encounter it; the person destined for it must also figure out the correct way to use it. Otherwise, they can only guard a treasure mountain in vain and watch it go to waste.

Qinghua carefully tapped and hammered, not daring to use her porcelainizing ability, lest she break Chen Meimei's precious treasure.

Bobo couldn't do anything about it; it only made things worse because it touched the needle and left some roasted chicken oil on it.

Try using your abilities.

Chen Meimei's tuft of hair stood up, turning into an exclamation mark.

"Ability? What ability? Oh! Right, I have a glowing ability called [Moonlight]."

To be honest, Chen Meimei had practically forgotten about her ability to glow.

Because, as things stand, it's utterly useless right now.

Xiao Shuang truly lives up to her name; she truly is Chen Meimei's golden finger.

As soon as the [Moonlight] ability was activated, the moonlight created by Chen Meimei flowed into the needle core through the needle in her hand, and white lines that alternated between solid and illusory appeared at the needle tip.

[[The Loom of Fate]: The tool by which the Lord of the Moon manipulates the world, weaving a new era with moonlight as its thread.]

[Originally a mortal object, it seized the destiny and fortune of heaven and earth, grasped a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and was fortunate enough to encounter the Lord of Hengyue. This unique artifact, used for the first time, changed its own fate.]

"Great, great, this [divine item] sounds awesome just from the description. I'm so lucky to have gotten it today. Haha~" Chen Meimei rolled around on the sofa with joy.

This is also its good fortune.
