An infinite journey starting from paradise

[Equipment Card: Spoon Killer's Spoon]

[Quality: Conceptual creation? Poor craftsmanship? Ordinary quality]

[Status: Endowed with conceptual power, dirty (covered with ketchup)]

[Item Description: The Spoon Killer's weapon. Imbued with the power of concepts, the spoon will always point to the direction of the person you wish to find and kill. As the price of using this power, you must use the spoon to madly beat the opponent until it breaks. Once broken, the spoon will take three standard Earth days to repair itself.]

[Note: Honestly, using a spoon to kill people isn't a good idea, but I have to admit that the Spoon Killer's vitality and enemy-hunting abilities are truly incredible.]

"It's outrageous, but... it's acceptable. It's a good tracking tool after all. It's just a bit stupid to have to hit someone with a spoon after using it. But... what's with this knife?"

Lin Shangren took out the multifunctional tactical dagger with flint, whistle, sharpener and bottle opener from the system space.

[Equipment Card: Bell's Survival Knife]

[Quality: Concept Creation? Legendary Craftsmanship? Perfect Quality]

[Status: Indestructible, Multiple Functions, Granted with Conceptual Power]

Item Description: This is one of the survival gear worn by the ever-eating survivalist Bell. Originally just an ordinary tactical dagger, it has become a rare artifact due to the conceptual power attached to it. It has the following special effects.

[Equipment Special Effect 1: Remove the head and you can eat it (After a creature is killed and its head is cut off with this knife, all parasites and viruses in its body will be directly eliminated)]

[Equipment Special Effect 2: Chicken-like crunch, with ten times the protein of beef (Creatures killed with this knife will taste like chicken after being cooked, and the protein content per unit mass will be ten times that of beef)]

[Equipment Effect Three: Man at the Top of the Food Chain (When equipped with this weapon, the user unleashes the "domineering aura" unique to those at the top of the food chain. Creatures within a 30-meter radius will feel awe towards the user. This disregards individual strength differences.)]

[Note: "Hey Kevin, I think I see something. Yeah~ Come closer." "QUAH!!!!" (Kevin's scream)]

"Come on, tell me, besides the third one that looks like a fear aura, what are the first two equipment effects for? And what the hell are the notes for? Did photographer Kevin get eaten by Bear Grylls?!"

In response to Lin Shangren's complaints, Ashrose quickly responded.

"My Lord, think outside the box a bit~ Imagine, in the apocalypse with a zombie apocalypse, having this knife would mean an endless supply of 'food'~ If you don't like the taste of chicken, I can help change the special effects to 'lamb'~ (?ω?)"

"Two-legged sheep, right? It doesn't seem as good as ostrich meat."

[Shh… This is a bit too hellish. (?_?)]

Lin Shangren wielded the tactical dagger twice. It felt good, especially the ABS non-slip rubber grip, which was quite comfortable. The knife was also indestructible, guaranteeing both hardness and sharpness. However, the "killing and disinfecting" and "chicken flavor" properties were a bit confusing. Even if he used it as a fruit knife, it would change the flavor of an apple... Lin Shangren couldn't think of a suitable use for it as a knife. For now, he could only use it as a fear skill.

"And this thing. It's said to be very powerful, but... I can't say for sure."

[Equipment Card: Crucible Wedge]

[Quality: Magical creation? Engineering creation? Legendary craftsmanship? Perfect quality]

[Status: The furnace is endowed with the power of a hundred aspects, the power of creation is endowed, and charging is complete]

Item Description: This magical device, crafted by the legendary Pokémon trainer, Pokémon educator, and mad scientist Xiao Yi, combines the power of the Infinite Gene Wedge and the Crucible. When fully charged, the Crucible Wedge can fuse any two or three creatures or items, creating a new creature or item that combines the characteristics of both. Note: The fusion state can be automatically released.

Notes: "Raichu! (The giant rat of thunder) Arcanine! (The very fast dog) Professor Oak! (Old Deng) Fusion Evolution! The lightning that brings miracles, Thunder Speed ​​Deng!"

"So, can you tell me where this thing came from? Did Old Man Ring also release a Pokémon mod similar to Dark Souls 3? Or is it some damn infinite fusion?!!!"

Faced with Lin Shangren's questioning, Ashrose chose to remain silent. After all, she herself didn't know how this outrageous thing got into the prize pool.

"But to be honest, this thing has to be the one with the highest limit of all the items I currently own. Let me see... It automatically recharges, takes twelve hours to recharge, and can be recharged cumulatively up to five times. The current energy reserve is enough for three fusions... Um, let's try it first?"

Lin Shangren looked at the spoon killer's spoon and Bear Grylls' knife.

"How do I use it... Hmm... I understand. Let me try it out first. Activate the two-in-one mode."

Lin Shangren pressed the switch at the core of the Furnace Wedge, and then two orange-yellow beams shot out from both ends of the wedge-shaped device, interweaving and combining, and finally the Furnace Wedge turned into a small furnace emitting orange light.

"Just put it in, right? Then come on! You go! I go! Here we go! Be prepared and go ahead!"

[Why is it an Ultraman meme?!]

[Spoon! All-purpose knife! Fusion evolution! Da Vinci-like wisdom, it's worth your life!]

"No, you really do have your own sound effects?!"

In the orange light, the spoon and dagger transformed into particles of light and merged into a single ball of light. Then, the light faded, and a brand new "weapon" fell into Lin Shangren's hands. It was a Swiss Army knife with a spoon head attached to the back of the handle.

[Name: Small Three Thousand Deaths]

[Quality: Industrial product? Ordinary quality? Poor craftsmanship]

Item Description: This survival gear has been stripped of its original, fancy abilities. While it's lost its boring perks like finding people, eliminating, changing odors, and scaring, it now features a compass on the handle, hidden water purification tablets and insect repellent, and serrations on the blade's back. Its wilderness survival capabilities have been greatly enhanced!

[Note: This was a failed attempt, but fortunately, the fusion can still be undone.]

"..."

"What the hell is this?!!!"

After adjusting his mindset, Lin Shangren returned the unfused spoon and dagger to the system space. Unconvinced, he tried twice.

The first was a fusion of the Lake Girl's Sword and Demon Slayer. Both weapons possess special attack properties against specific targets and a mechanic that increases damage upon charging, making them relatively compatible. The resulting fusion retained their respective attack effects, but its design was rather unappealing. The Knight's Straight Sword and the Oxtail Blade merged into a bizarre weapon that resembled neither a blade nor a hook. It reminded Lin Shangren of Gu Long's novel, "The Hook of Parting."

The second time, he combined two alchemical sex toys: a clitoral cord and a cow nipple ring, creating a necklace. The effect was that anyone who wore the necklace would instantly pass out, and then produce a surge of milk.

"The battery's out..." Lin Shangren put the Furnace Hundred Aspects Wedge back into the system space. "I should try biological fusion. I can only wait twelve hours."

Lin Shangren rubbed his neck and took out the last thing from the system space, a black curtain.

"Compared to the previous things, this thing is indeed more practical."

Chapter 137: New mount, tamed!

[Name: Magical Girl's Mobile Dressing Room]

[Quality: Magical creation? Exquisite craftsmanship? Perfect quality]

[Condition: Brand new, magic attached]

[Item Description: A magical black cloth imbued with the power of creation. Wrapping it around the body allows the user to create and replace all clothing based on their wishes. Note 1: Only ordinary clothing can be created, not magical armor or precision engineering artifacts. Note 2: The cloth can be transformed by infusing it with psychic energy for easier carrying.]

[Note: "Tomoyo's sewing is great, but I still can't change it up all the time. So I prepared this for you. Dressing up is the soul of a magical girl, Sakura-chan." ■■ said so.]

"This thing is great. It perfectly solves the problem of not being able to find a replacement after your clothes explode. I recommend it to the Hulk and the Sonic Warriors."

Lin Shangren pulled up the black cloth and injected spiritual energy into it according to the system instructions. Then it was reshaped from a huge black cloth that could cover more than ten people into a black leather glove worn on Lin Shangren's left hand.

"That's great. When changing clothes, you just need to draw a Daibi Kabuto like Usagi Tsukino's transformation. Come on, try it. Moon Prism Power ~ Transformation ~"

[Hey, are you planning on performing some cross-dressing trick in front of me?! ( ??д?? )]

The prop's effect took effect, and a black curtain enveloped Lin Shangren's body. Then the curtain fell, transforming back into gloves, and Lin Shangren changed into a new set of clothes: still the same black windbreaker, but with some silver decorations on the shoulders and chest.

【Tsk~ I've been looking forward to it. （*/?＼*）】

"It works well. I can use it on myself and others. It seems I don't have to carry around the pile of spare clothes and underwear and stockings I've stored in the shadows anymore." Lin Shangren said with satisfaction, "Then, it's time to face the pervert in my heart."

Huh?

"Come out, you vampire who hasn't thought of a name yet!"

Lin Shangren waved his hand and once again summoned the [Implanted Phantom] with a mature and sexy body. Now that he had received the reward, it was time to tame her and take her into his body.

"Just make her submit to me, right?" Lin Shangren asked.

Just as Ashrose was about to answer, the vampire licked his lips and said coquettishly, "It's not that easy to tame me, boy~"

"Oh, it can talk, so it has its own consciousness? What should I call it?" Lin Shangren asked with interest.

"I didn't have one originally, but I got one after I bound you. As for a name, you haven't chosen one for me yet, Master~"

"Hi~"

This enchanting, soul-stirring and bone-melting voice made Lin Shangren feel both soft and hard. The soft part was his bones, and the hard part... those who understand will understand.

"No wonder she looks like a vampire. It turns out she uses sound waves as her attack method. And her consciousness is strong enough that the Eagle Finger attack, which is a sure-shot attack, has no effect on her."

Although his body was aroused, Lin Shangren's mind was completely calm. According to the information provided by the system, this implanted phantom is just like a real phantom. If the host cannot defeat it and completely tame it, then, like the Gate in the original novel (the phantom gate refers to the human body inhabited by the phantom), it will be devoured by the phantom and transformed into a monster.

"Boy~ What are you looking at? The battle has already begun."

"Ok?"

The surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically. The abandoned commercial building turned into a dark jungle, and the vampire who was originally standing five meters in front of Lin Shangren disappeared at some point.

"Hallucination?"

The plummeting temperature, the damp air mingling with the scent of leaves and earth, the muddy texture beneath his feet. Lin Shangren's five senses told him he was indeed in a pitch-black forest. However, his other sensory tools—his shudder, the spider sense he'd absorbed from the spider witch Kara, his shadow touch, and the ability to sense the earth he'd absorbed from the pangolin witch Sita—all confirmed he was still on the top floor of the abandoned commercial building.

"Interesting. You can create an almost 100% realistic illusion. You can also emit ultrasonic waves that interfere with the human body. What other methods do you have? These alone can't hurt me...

Or is it still sound waves? With my current physical strength, your level of sound wave resonance can't shatter my internal organs."

Lin Shangren casually rolled out a huge fireball and thrust it directly into the opponent's body through the shadows. He controlled the power of the fireball to a relatively appropriate range. Even if it was stuffed into the body of an ordinary person, as long as Lin Shangren rescued them in time, they could easily save their lives.

"Ah~ Hmm~ It's so hot. It's the energy of the soul. It's delicious~ Thank you."

The provocative sound reached Lin Shangren's ears, and even his bones made a "creaking" sound under the vibration of the sound waves.

"She can absorb psychic energy to strengthen herself. The upper limit of her absorption is unknown... Should we try to fill her up and burst her? Forget it, it would be a shame to burst her to death. Let's test her resistance to other magic. Juemi~"

"嘤咛!"

She let out a moan. It turned out that Lin Shangren grabbed the lumps on her chest through the shadows and at the same time released the lactation magic that made her milk surge.

"Slurp~ It tastes a bit sweet, with a hint of milk." Lin Shangren licked the milky white liquid on his palm. "It seems that lust magic is very useful. You have high resistance to mental attacks, but your body is very sensitive? I think I know how to tame you."

The vampire, who was rubbed until her blood was flowing, quickly protected her chest. She seemed to have figured out the mechanism of Lin Shangren's ability. She directly tore off her leather bra and prepared to fight Lin Shangren bare-chested.

"Are you so impatient, boy? Even if you use these little tricks to forcibly possess my body, you can't make me wholeheartedly pledge my loyalty to you."

"So I plan to beat you up first, and then sleep with you." Lin Shangren pinched her heart in the air, as if to prove that he had the means to kill the other party in seconds.

"For me, internal organs are not a weakness. Even if you crush them all, I still..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Shangren had already teleported behind her and placed the Demon Slayer Blade, which was enchanted with physical exorcism power, on her neck.

"Ah."

The vampire sneered and suddenly transformed into countless small black bats. They dispersed and then reassembled behind Lin Shangren. A pair of sharp claws grabbed the back of Lin Shangren's neck.

"Wow, that move's a bit trendy. But I'm sure this one will hit." Lin Shangren swung his sword lightly, making a chopping motion, and then he heard a scream. A blow from a monster special attack definitely wouldn't be easy. Judging from the sound, she must be shaking in pain.

"Well, now that you know I can locate you in other ways, why not lift the illusion? The sight of your big, white nipples swinging around is obviously more appealing to me than this lame illusion."

"Are you interested in my body? Then I'll let you see enough!"

The hallucination is lifted.

Lin Shangren turned around to find that what awaited him was not a beautiful, half-naked vampire with ample breasts, but a massive, cyborg bat with a wingspan of nearly ten meters. It wore a black and purple mechanical armor, and its wings were decorated with silver patterns. Each of these wings was equipped with two massive turbines resembling tires. On its chest was a large purple gem, engraved with the pattern of a pentagram.

"You've entered the second stage, right? Your appearance...what's the connection between you and Night Rider's survival form contracted beast and Ye Lingyun's super beast weapon?"

Lin Shangren's response was a powerful beam of sound. Lin Shangren teleported away from the compressed, high-frequency vibrations, ultimately striking only the floor. After penetrating the entire building's floorboards and the deep-seated foundation, the beam's high-frequency vibrations spread, instantly destroying the building's structure. It's conceivable that if this attack had struck Lin Shangren, he would have instantly exploded into a pool of blood.

"This move is quite powerful. However..."

The building under his feet was about to collapse like tofu dregs. At this time, Lin Shangren used the materialized black shadow to forcibly stabilize the building's structure.

"Can you please stop demolishing our house? If you blow up the building, where are we going to sleep tonight?"

The turbines on the giant bat's wings began to spin at high speed, apparently charging some new skill. Lin Shangren didn't interrupt her; he was curious about how many tricks his "new mount" could do.

"Hmm? A clone? Another hallucination?"

Just as she was gathering strength, three giant mechanical bats that looked exactly like her appeared around Lin Shangren. They surrounded Lin Shangren and opened their mouths wide, as if they wanted to attack him fiercely.

"I can touch the entity with Shadow Touch, so it seems to be a real clone. Interesting, the same type of enemy as Night Rider has arrived, right? Sew, I can sew it."

Since her new job was just to clone herself and use multiple sonic cannons, there was no need for Lin Shangren to take this attack head-on. He put his hands in his pockets, and the next moment, the mouths and wings of the four giant mechanical bats were blocked by a milky white sticky substance.

Spider Silk. A power acquired from the Spider Witch Kara.

Rather than cosplaying Peter Parker and swinging between buildings, this high-strength spider silk is more suitable for binding and plugging.

The charged attack was held back, and the mechanical structure used to maintain suspension was also caught in the spider silk. The giant bat in mid-air fell directly to the ground. The three clones disappeared, and the main body returned to human form.

Looking at the beautiful vampire, her hands bound and mouth sealed with spider silk, Lin Shangren didn't bother to ponder the trivialities of why a sexy beauty with no mechanical structure in her body had become a giant mechanical bat. After all, the Kamen Rider matter didn't need to be so clear. Lin Shangren's main task now was to convince the woman in front of him.

"Binding."

The shadow beneath the vampire's feet materialized instantly, and the rising black shadow locked her body tightly like a cross. She twisted her body to break free, and at the same time looked at Lin Shangren with anger and contempt.

"Woo...wow...wow!"

"What did you say?"

Lin Shangren tore off the spider web on her mouth, and then was hit by a sound wave vibration cannon in the face. Fortunately, Lin Shangren had been prepared and wrapped his body with a black shadow. The attack just sank into the black shadow and did not cause any harm to Lin Shangren.

"The sneak attack failed, shouldn't we give up?" Lin Shangren said with a smile, "I didn't even try, and you couldn't do it."
