FATE: Target of Grand Master

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): Say what you just said again, and I promise I won't kill you.

Seeing Feng Yan's reply, Xia Yan awkwardly resent the message he had just sent.

Collect Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): I obtained a new Servant in the Holy Grail War base - Miss Tsuru.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): No, you actually post that?

Collect all the fairy knights (Xia Yan): Didn't you ask me to post this again?

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): ...

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): @No reply means you're brewing medicine, don't you have anything to say?

No reply means I'm brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): Commander, can you tell me the trick to obtaining Servants in the Holy Grail War? I tried it a few days ago, and although I occupied a stronghold, I didn't get any Servants.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): No, buddy, you surrendered way too fast.

No reply means I'm brewing medicine (Lan Muyan): @30,000 words a day, his opinion represents only his personal views and has nothing to do with me. I will always stand firmly by the leader's side.

30,000 words a day (Feng Yan): ...

Xia Yan smiled at their reactions, ignoring their antics, and relayed Miss He's advice to them.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Miss He gave me three pieces of information.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): 1. She can make Mystic Codes, and the cost is one Holy Grail fragment. I asked her, and she can also make them for others in the trial, so I suggest you stock up in advance, in case you encounter them in the same trial later, she can make one for you too.

Upon hearing this, the other two immediately began showering him with compliments, calling him "the greatest commander" and "a living Buddha," exaggerating as much as they could.

After letting the two men calm down, Xia Yan continued to share the remaining two pieces of news.

There's not much to say about the Holy Grail War. Its priority will definitely be after the formal trials. Currently, only someone like Xia Yan, who has a sufficient number of Servants, would consider it.

The news about the invaders did serve as a reminder to the other two.

Xia Yan also posed the question he had been pondering about why it had to be a Descendant, to the two of them. Unfortunately, neither of them had any constructive ideas, and they could only wait until they actually encountered a Descendant to come up with a solution.

Of course, it's best not to encounter it at all.

For the rest of the day, Xia Yan made no plans and focused on relaxing and resting. The other Servants also tacitly found things to do and did not disturb Xia Yan's rare leisure time.

Using this time, Xia Yan carefully reviewed all the products in the mall again.

Strictly speaking, Xia Yan has already suffered twice for not carefully examining the products in the online store.

The first one was Caroline's whip; such bizarre items can produce unexpected effects on bizarre people.

The second time was the teleportation ball. If he had known about this earlier, he wouldn't have given Li Zhuang a chance to escape. Although Li Zhuang's subsequent actions wouldn't affect him for the time being, his self-righteous attitude of constantly displaying his name on the world channel still disgusted him.

So, not three times is enough. This time, Xia Yan not only scanned all the products in the mall, but also carefully looked at those obscure and quirky props.

You wouldn't believe it until you look; there are quite a few bizarre items in the shop, like the one Xia Yan is currently looking at called "Curse Notebook."

[Curse Notebook: While imagining the target's face, write down their real name to continuously curse them until they die of cardiac arrest. The effect is affected by the target's resistance to effects, and it takes at least 7 days to kill them (only effective in trials and can only curse one person at a time)]

If we're talking about killing someone without them even realizing it, this tool can actually do that. Unfortunately, it's just too inefficient. Take Xia Yan's experience for example; it might take him seven days to complete the trial, let alone the ideal timeframe.

Selling such an inefficient item for 30 Master Points is simply not cost-effective.

After passing this prop, the next one almost made Xia Yan doubt that he had wandered onto the wrong set.

[3D Maneuver Gear: A portable device capable of high-speed movement, equipped with both blades and cannons as weapons. Its power unit is driven by magic and requires no ropes for support.]

Xia Yan glanced at the price: 50 Master Points.

Putting price aside, this "3D Maneuver Gear" improves upon the original's problems with air consumption and its limitation by terrain, since the original version would have no support points in plains or ocean environments.

However, it also has three obvious drawbacks.

1. High skill ceiling. Mastering the 3D Maneuver Gear requires extensive practice to control the attitude distortion caused by its propulsion. If you can only fly around aimlessly without being able to attack, what's the point of buying it?

2. The amount of magic power consumed is unknown. Although Xia Yan has never actually used it, he can guess from imagination that being able to skillfully control the device must consume a lot of magic power. Is it really worth it to use so much magic power to personally rush to the front line to attack?

3. It cannot be concealed. Not only do you have to put it on and take it off every time you use it, but simply appearing in front of other Masters in this conspicuous outfit already reveals your intentions. Thanks to the popularity of the original work, there are definitely far fewer people who don't recognize this device than those who don't know the Fifth Magician.

In short, Xia Yan will not buy it.

After looking around again, Xia Yan was certain that most of the equipment in the store was still scams. Even the more unusual equipment mainly inflicted various debuffs on the target.

Xia Yan wasn't worried about these effects at all. After all, there weren't many people who could outplay Morgan in magic, and those few would only be bosses, not servants of other Masters.

Moreover, Xia Yan now not only has the 10% effect resistance bonus from the stronghold, but also the Mystic Code Atlas Academy Uniform that Miss He is about to complete.

Yes, that's right. The first magical costume Xia Yan specifically requested to be made was the Atlas Academy uniform.

With Isis's Rain, a divine skill that can remove all debuffs, Xia Yan is basically immune to all kinds of debuffs.

"Master Producer, the Mystic Code you requested is ready."

Miss He, with dark circles under her eyes, walked out of the room and said in a tired voice.

Xia Yan quickly thanked Miss He, then tried it on and found it fit perfectly.

"As per your request, I have implemented a cognitive barrier to the design of the Mystic Code. Unless special methods are used or the Mystic Code is severely damaged, others will not be able to discern its design. Regarding its three inherent skills: Dust of Osiris, Rain of Isis, and Eye of Meded, their effects are respectively: blocking any physical or magical attack, removing all negative effects received by the user, and reducing the target Servant's mana consumption by 20% per day. It should be noted that each of the three skills can only be used once per trial."

Xia Yan nodded in understanding.

Despite the limitations on its use, it's quite impressive that the Mystic Code has been recreated to this extent.

The following day at noon, when the clock's countdown reached zero, the familiar spirit particle transfer channel opened again, but unlike before, Xia Yan and the others were not directly teleported away.

Please select 3 Servants to participate in this trial.

Suddenly, a message box with three blank profile picture frames appeared in front of Xia Yan.
