This night was very long, and people were struggling to hold on, resisting the harassment of the anomalies.
Only Su Yuan, lying on his luxury-grade bed, slept very soundly.
Sunlight shone into the room from the window. Su Yuan stretched and sat up from the bed.
The daytime was too short; as soon as it was light, he had to seize the time to search for supplies.
However, he had other missions to do today.
"The first thing to do after getting up today: open the Treasure Chest!"
Su Yuan happily walked to the small black table and flipped through the Rare Treasure Chest that was glowing with a purple halo.
"A Treasure Chest of this quality should be able to yield some good things."
Su Yuan opened the World Chat Channel, wanting to see if there was any news about Treasure Chests in the World Chat Channel.
"It's finally light out."
"I'm so sleepy, I didn't sleep all night."
"No way, I listened to Great God Su Yuan's words and fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow."
"If I had known, I would have slept for a while too."
"I didn't fall asleep either; my own voice kept echoing in my ears, I couldn't sleep at all."
"I want to sleep now."
"Don't sleep, hurry out and look around to see if you can get something for Evil Warding back. We don't know what kind of anomaly will pop up on the third night."
"Agreed."
"+1"
"+1"
"Enough talk, heading out!"
After reading these, Su Yuan scrolled up to check the history.
Last night, everyone was struggling to resist the anomalies outside, and it was good enough that they hadn't been subjected to Empathy. No one was like him, daring to risk their life to search for a Treasure Chest, so there was no information about Treasure Chests in the channel.
The current survivors had no power to resist the anomalies, and no one would risk entering the Black Night.
After all, a person's life is the only one they have.
Except for Su Yuan!
"Time to open it!"
Su Yuan happily picked up the Treasure Chest and discovered a latch between the lid and the box body; he could open it by pulling it upward.
Fortunately, he didn't need a key to open the Treasure Chest, otherwise he would have cried his eyes out.
Just as Su Yuan was about to pull the Treasure Chest open, his hand stopped.
To be safe, he took out the last candle and lit it.
Su Yuan took a deep breath, grabbed the latch, and pulled hard.
Whoosh!
He let out a sigh of relief.
No anomaly had popped out.
Su Yuan blew out the candle and looked into the box.
Inside the box appeared a purple-red Skill Book.
Su Yuan reached out and took it out.
The purple-red book displayed four large characters: Complete Explanation of Talismans.
Complete Explanation of Talismans, Skill Book.
Learn?
【Yes】【No】
Talisman? The kind specifically for dealing with anomalies?!
Su Yuan also began to suspect whether he had fallen into a destiny circle.
This thing couldn't have come at a better time!
He clicked to learn it directly.
The next second, countless pieces of information about Talismans flooded into Su Yuan's brain.
He had already learned the Complete Explanation of Talismans.
It really was the method for making Talismans.
Su Yuan instantly mastered the methods of drawing Talismans on Paper Talisman.
Drawing Talismans requires sufficient Mental Power to complete. His current 6 points of Mental Power could only draw ordinary Talismans, which are the lowest-level Yellow Paper Talismans. The Talismans that can be completed with Yellow Paper mainly include the Five Thunders Curse, Heart Calming Incantation, and Spirit Fire Curse.
Each one drawn consumes 1 point of Mental Power, so he could only draw 6 at a time.
The materials needed for drawing Talismans are: Cinnabar Ink, Yellow Paper.
The higher the grade of the materials, the higher the success rate of drawing Talismans. For Peerless Grade materials, the success rate is 100%.
"Time to take off!"
Su Yuan had the feeling of a serf turning over and singing.
This feel is great!
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
Su Yuan set off to find materials for making Talismans.
Anomalies, just wait for Dad to make some Talismans, and I'll see who still dares to come knocking on the door!
Su Yuan carried his Axe and hummed a little tune along the way.
As a result, after wandering around the area a few times, he found that within a 1-mile radius, there wasn't a single funeral shop.
"Don't mess with me!"
Su Yuan didn't even see a piece of toilet paper, let alone Yellow Paper.
Influenced by the surrounding Mist, he didn't dare to go too far, so he checked the time displayed by the sun.
There were still more than 3 hours left on the Countdown.
Perhaps he could walk a bit further.
Su Yuan continued to walk forward along the Small Park.
As he walked, he recorded the location and Coordinates of the area.
When Su Yuan saw a stationery store appear before his eyes, he couldn't even begin to describe how excited he was.
"There must be some!"
Su Yuan walked into the door, his heart silently repeating over and over: Cinnabar Ink, Yellow Paper, Cinnabar Ink, Yellow Paper...
However, he returned in disappointment.
Except for an intact Writing Brush and an Inkstone, he gained nothing.
He couldn't go any further.
Su Yuan could only use the Small Park as a center and scan the surrounding area.
After covering most of the circle, Su Yuan found nothing. This area was a bit remote; besides a few small shops, there were only some empty office buildings.
After turning another small part of the circle, he had to head back. Su Yuan suddenly noticed that the shop in front seemed quite intact.
A copy shop.
Uh.
Su Yuan walked in. The printer in the room was dilapidated and looked like it had been broken for a long time.
He lifted the printer cover and pulled out an ink cartridge from inside.
Could this thing replace Cinnabar Ink?
Walking further in, a stack of A4 paper was piled in the corner.
Su Yuan picked it up.
"I wonder if a Talisman drawn on white paper with ordinary ink has any Evil Warding effect."
Better than nothing.
Su Yuan gathered the things he found here and was just about to leave.
He suddenly froze.
He turned around abruptly and looked at the table facing the door.
His gaze landed on the copper Pixiu on the table.
He walked straight over and picked it up.
Pixiu Ornament, Evil Warding Item.
Evil Warding: 5
Purification: 3
This item possesses Evil Warding effects.
He hadn't guessed wrong.
In the original world, the Pixiu Ornament also belonged to the category of Amulets, let alone here.
Su Yuan put it away with satisfaction.
After going back, he would ponder whether to strengthen its Evil Warding or Purification attribute.
Walking out of the room, Su Yuan found that there were 2 hours left on the Countdown.
He walked in the direction of the Black Room.
Returning to the Black Room, Su Yuan ate something first, and his Strength and Stamina improved again.
Now that these two attributes had almost doubled, Su Yuan could clearly feel the difference in himself compared to before.
He placed the Pixiu Ornament on the table and looked at its attributes again.
Practical tests revealed that the Holy Light and the Black Room's Evil Warding effects were both for deterrence and defense against anomalies.
The problem was that sometimes, just deterrence and defense didn't seem very effective.
So Su Yuan decided to strengthen its Purification attribute.
Purification should be able to cause a certain amount of damage to anomalies.
Purification, 300.
Su Yuan was now very curious: if he put that Human head anomaly from yesterday together with this Pixiu Ornament with 300 Purification, would it be purified into dust directly!
Su Yuan placed the Pixiu Ornament on the table.
It was facing the door; if an anomaly came, he would purify it directly!
"I wonder if ordinary ink and white paper can draw a Talisman."
Su Yuan spread the A4 paper he brought back flat on the table.
Then, he used the Fruit Knife he found earlier to gently cut it into the shape of a palm-sized rectangular Paper Talisman.
He then poured the ink from the ink cartridge onto the Inkstone.
He picked up the Writing Brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw according to the shape of the Heart Calming Incantation Talisman in his mind.
It was done in one go!
Su Yuan excitedly looked at the attributes of the "Talisman" he had drawn.
Random scribbles, ordinary item.
No use whatsoever, recommended to be thrown into the trash bin.
Damn it!
