I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 174 Faceless Man's Potion and Infant Fruit

In a daze.

Erin's spirit then leaped into the Balance Space.

After being promoted to [Magician], Erin's spirituality increased dramatically. In addition, the spiritual realm he gained from entering a meditative state made his connection with the Balance Space even stronger.

Now, all Erin needs to do is use that mysterious connection to draw upon his spiritual power to transfer his spirit to the Balance Space.

Instead of having to rely on meditation to connect and enter the Scales space as before.

The only pity is...

The physical body is too "heavy." Erin's current spiritual power is not enough to move his physical body and bring it into the Balance Space. Otherwise, if Erin's physical body could also leap into the Balance Space...

This unknown space, hidden above the river of fate, will become Erin's best safe haven.

Stepping on the white mist that swirls around like mercury.

Erin kept pouring spiritual energy into his eyes, but no matter how much spiritual energy he poured into them...

When he looked at this mysterious and extraordinary balance space, he still had a sense of illusion, as if he were looking at flowers through a fog.

"As expected, the power of a magician is far from sufficient to peer into this space!"

Realizing that his spiritual vision was insufficient to uncover the secrets of this balance space, Erin immediately dispersed the spiritual energy gathered in his eyes.

Since he couldn't even discern the secrets of this mysterious space, Erin didn't presumptuously use his spiritual vision to try and peer into the unchanging scales of fate.

After all, who knows what the consequences of doing so would be!

After silently glancing at the Scales of Fate, Erin quickly calmed the agitation in his heart.

After spending 10,000 Fate Points on a high-level lottery draw, Erin has 2702 Fate Points left.

Now that he's been promoted to [Magician], he can finally try his luck with another lottery draw to verify one of his guesses.

After a single thought arises.

Erin then summoned the phantom of the [Scales of Fate] and performed a basic ten-pull.

With Erin confirmed.

The phantom of the compass of fate then began to spin rapidly, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

As he gazed at the rapidly spinning phantom of the compass of fate before him, a fleeting reflection flickered in Erin's eyes.

When the phantom of the compass of fate dissipated again, six orbs of light—two blue, two green, and six white—scattered in mid-air before Erin.

As expected.

This time, I didn't have the luck to draw a purple-level item.

but······

Getting two blue-quality items in a ten-pull is pretty good.

Even when Erin did a ten-pull before, it seemed like she only got a blue guaranteed item.

and many more!

Could that extra blue orb be related to the wisp of fate that I received before?

One becomes two!

Was the effect of that stroke of luck really that obvious?

Or was it just pure luck this time?

Recalling his unexpected gain from purifying that wisp of evil god's aura, a strange glint flashed in Erin's eyes.

The strange look in Erin's eyes didn't last long.

Because, whether it was due to her own luck or the influence of fate, it was a good result for Erin.

Ailin's eyes flickered as he looked at the two blue orbs of light not far away.

He then reached out and placed his hand on the first blue orb of light that had fallen to the left.

One second later.

When the blue halo emanating from the outer layer of the orb shattered, a bizarre potion, entirely black and green, occasionally releasing an eye-sized bubble that reflected various colors of light and vaguely outlined different faces, appeared in Erin's hand!

The Seer's Path, Sequence 6 [Faceless] Potion!

Looking at the [Faceless Man] potion, a further advancement in the [Magician] rank, that had suddenly appeared in his hand.

A cold, mocking glint flashed across Erin's lips!

really.

Is all of this the work of fate?

However, compared to the extreme unease and chilling fear that surged in my heart when I drew the [Magician] potion last time.

At this moment, Erin's expression seemed much calmer.

Firstly.

Erin already had some idea about how he "coincidentally" drew the potion for the next promotion sequence after each promotion.

Erin was already mentally prepared to draw the [Faceless Man] potion again.

Secondly.

After advancing to the meditative stage, Ailin's state of mind also gained a touch of serene stillness.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Since you can't change the "gifts of fate," then before you're powerless to resist fate, you might as well enjoy these gifts of fate.

After all, the fact that someone prepares the potion for the next promotion as soon as someone advances in rank isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it?

At least.

Compared to Kelp, who had to travel the world to collect potion ingredients after each promotion, he was already much luckier.

Thinking about this...

With a flick of his wrist, the strange "Faceless Man" potion vanished from Erin's sleeve.

···········

After putting away the [Faceless Man] potion.

Erin then turned his gaze to the remaining nine orbs of light and opened them one by one.

Among the first six white orbs that Erin opened.

Unexpectedly, they presented three books, a beautifully packaged jar of honey, a set of silver cutlery, and a bottle of red wine!

I don't know if the compass of fate knew that ordinary guns and ammunition were no longer of much use to me, or what.

These six white orbs of light didn't even contain a single modern firearm.

As for those three books...

Aside from a book about makeup tips from a famous beauty blogger in some unknown world, which Erin felt offered some insights into camouflage and dressing up, Erin felt that it also had some value in terms of these tips.

The other two books left Erin with a rather indescribable feeling...

One of them is "An Actor Prepares," and the other is "Tips for Picking Up Girls."

These two books were not entirely useless to Erin, but their effect was negligible.

········

The items that came out of the six white orbs were somewhat disappointing to Erin.

The things that emerged from those two green orbs of light gave Erin a pleasant surprise.

[A bizarre videotape: Insert it into your TV to unlock a bizarre videotape of a beautiful young woman. What are you waiting for, young man?]

[Note: Due to her tragic past, this young woman has a somewhat volatile temper. Therefore, be careful of the potential for serious harm from her after playing the videotape.]

[Warning: Please ensure you have sufficient self-defense capabilities and know how to deal with spirits before opening this eerie videotape. Otherwise, you may be torn to pieces by this short-tempered young woman, or buried in the cold, ancient well in her house...]

······················

[Question Notebook: Write your questions in the notebook and you will receive answers. (Note: The answers you receive may or may not be what you want.) After your question is answered, regardless of whether the answer is what you want, as a reward, you must answer one of the notebook's personal questions. (Note: You cannot leave the questions in the notebook unanswered, and you cannot give incorrect answers, otherwise you will be punished by the notebook.)]

[Note: This was originally just an ordinary notebook, but a certain being who has traversed the river of time and is almost omniscient once wrote down a question in this notebook out of boredom during a childhood class. Therefore, the notebook, imbued with the aura of that being, seems to have undergone a mysterious change and acquired some unknown abilities.]

···········

Neither the "creepy videotape" nor the "question notebook" seem to be simple green items.

In particular, the "Question Notebook" even has a connection with a certain being who has traveled through the river of time.

The "Question Notebook" feature is quite good; the only thing to note is that after getting the answer you want, you still have to answer one of its personal questions.

Strictly speaking, this isn't a particularly serious side effect.

············

If the green item draw made Erin's eyes light up, then the twitching prize in the final blue orb of light surprised Erin beyond measure.

[Space Ring: A special ring with internal space that can store any inanimate item for you.]

[Note: This is a spatial ring created by a goblin whose greed was ingrained in his very bones. Until his death, he held this spatial ring tightly in his hand, never showing it to anyone. After the goblin's death, the ring seemed to inherit his greed.]

[Note: Every week, this ring will charge its host a rent fee to satisfy its greed. Be aware that if its greed is not satisfied, it will randomly devour one item stored within the ring.]

Space Ring!

Inside this blue ball of light was actually a spatial ring.

Erin had an extreme longing for the Space Ring, a legendary piece of equipment that protagonists were said to need.

The closest Erin ever came to acquiring a spatial equipment was when he drew a spatial stone.

Unfortunately, Erin didn't have any forging skills, so in the end, he simply fed the space stone to the monster.

The prizes produced by the blue light cluster this time have fulfilled Erin's past wish.

He reached out and took the unremarkable ring, which looked like it was made of black iron. After briefly comparing its size, he put it on the little finger of his right hand.

The moment the ring touched Erin's finger, a barely perceptible gray light flashed and disappeared in Erin's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, information related to this [Space Ring] appeared in Erin's mind.

The function of this [Space Ring] is very simple: it helps the host store items.

Moreover, the internal space within the [Space Ring] is not small; it is a spherical space with a diameter of five meters.

Like most other items obtained from the Fate Compass lottery, this [Space Ring] also has certain side effects.

However, its only side effect is that it charges the host a "rental fee" for using the space ring every week.

The rental fee for the [Space Ring] is not cheap. It charges its owner one gold coin weighing 50 grams or more each week as the rental fee.

Charging its owner rent—this [Space Ring] is incredibly greedy.

However, for Erin now, about 50 grams of gold a week would only amount to one or two thousand US dollars.

For Erin, who is not short of money these days, exchanging a rental fee of one or two thousand US dollars for the right to use a space ring with a diameter of five meters is still a good deal.

and.

The gold was something that Erin had been looking for – fifteen small gold bars, each weighing one kilogram, that he had seized from the Water Ghost Gang's lair. He was worried about what to do with them.

Fifteen small gold bars, each weighing one kilogram, total 15000 grams of gold.

That's enough to pay Erin's "rent" for 300 weeks, a full five or six years.

Before that, Erin had to melt those gold bars into gold coins weighing about fifty grams each.

Otherwise, that would be...

Given the greed of this spatial ring, if a small gold brick weighing one kilogram isn't broken up, it might just be directly blackmailed into a rental fee.

······················

"Since you're so greedy, from now on we'll call you the Greedy Ring."

With a smile, Erin rubbed the back of the Greed Ring and then put all the items he had won in the lottery into the ring's internal space.

After putting those things away.

Erin did not participate in the lottery again.

Instead, he spent a thousand Destiny Points to materialize a "Human Infant Fruit" from the River of Destiny, which could nourish and strengthen the soul and repair its injuries.

[Human Infant Fruit: A special fruit that grows in a desolate and lifeless place. Consuming it can nourish and strengthen the soul of living beings, and repair damage to the soul.]

This [Human-Infant Fruit] was undoubtedly used by Erin to revive the Joker's clones.

Although the Joker's clone was not completely dead due to the unique nature of the Twin Abilities, Erin would have to pay a price to revive him.

and.

I've even been promoted to [Magician] this time.

If Erin were to directly revive the Joker's clone who possesses the power of the Magician, the price he would have to pay would undoubtedly be much greater.

After deducting the 1000 Fate Points used for the lottery, there are 1702 Fate Points remaining.

Ailin spent 1000 Destiny Points to materialize a [Human Infant Fruit]. In addition, Ailin spent 500 Destiny Points to materialize a number of rare and precious herbs that greatly replenish Qi and blood.

After all, nourishing the soul alone is not enough to revive the Joker's clone.

·······················

Several tens of minutes later.

I casually picked out a brightly colored blazer from the closet and put it on.

A clown, dressed in a suit and top hat, and exuding elegance, reappeared in the world.
