Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Considering that [Chef God’s Special Seasoning (Special)] is a divine item.

Therefore, ordinary gain-type ingredients are definitely not worthy of it.

Even if Zong Shen wanted to try it, he would have to wait until he got higher-end ingredients and items.

This matter is not urgent, and there are indeed many opportunities in the future.

After thinking for a moment, he put away the bottle of [God of Cooking's Special Seasoning (Special)] and took out the next item.

That palm-sized lens.

The texture is soft and can even be folded.

It looks like soft aluminum foil that has been polished repeatedly.

Although it looks ordinary, it is a special-level rare object after all, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Hold it in your hand and shake it gently.

This thing didn't make any noise.

It actually feels more like a piece of paper.

Zong Shen was silent for a while, then narrowed his eyes and chose to check its related information.

[Infinite Mirror Reflection (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Effect: Infinite mirror reflection (can reflect any effect applied once, regardless of type and level differences)]

[Usable times: 1/1]

(Having a chance to reflect any effect, regardless of type and level, this is the origin of "infinite"

It does not mean that it has unlimited uses

The actual effect of this mirror reflection is similar to a one-time privilege, but in fact its effect is definitely much greater than you think.

Because it can even reflect privileges

As for when it can be used, it depends on the actual situation)

…

"oh!"

Zong Shen knew it well.

Looking at the name, he thought this thing could reflect infinitely, but in fact it just proved that it could reflect all the skills aimed at itself.

Whether it's positive or negative.

Whether it's attack or support.

As long as someone is not happy with it, they can choose to reflect it back.

However, you only have one chance, so you should think twice before using it.

Zong Shen thought about it for a moment and thought of it as a talisman.

And judging from the meaning of the strategy module, the function of this [Infinite Reflection (Special)] seems to have profound meaning.

After all, with the foundation of "infinite", there is a lot of room for maneuver in the future.

Maybe in the future, if I encounter a god looking for trouble, I can just reflect back on him.

So this thin and light [Infinite Mirror (Special)] might come in handy at some point.

At this point, all 7 [Special] level items from the [Platinum Treasure Chest] have been inspected.

Next, there are 4 items of [Unknown] level waiting for his inspection.

My mind is immersed in the storage compartment.

He quickly found and took out the first [Unknown] level item from this batch of [Platinum Treasure Chests].

It was actually a purple-gray fog.

This mist is only the size of a washbasin, but it appears to be extremely active. It is constantly squirming and changing its shape in place.

Its level of activity even exceeds [Manic Thundercloud (Special)].

But it is much thinner than thunderclouds.

After all, it's just a fog.

And its name is also very simple and interesting, and it is a very appropriate and straightforward description.

It's called [Lively Fog (Unknown)]. This name is extremely appropriate, without any fancy modifications.

It’s time to solve the puzzle of [Unknown] items again. Basically, it is difficult to guess the specific functions and origins of these items from their names.

Many of them don't even belong to Endless Continent.

Not to mention the name, Zong Shen couldn't guess it even if he saw its appearance directly.

The function of fog-related items is nothing more than covering or blocking vision.

Further speculation may include effects such as stealth.

Anyway, it's definitely not something honorable and majestic.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Zong Shen didn't think about it anymore and let the strategy module answer it directly.

He looked at the very active fog in front of him, and soon golden subtitles appeared.

【Lively Mist (Unknown)】

[Quality: unknown]

[A lively mist, if you fully unfold it, it can spread to a radius of ten kilometers around it]

[Mist can block any form of magic perception. It is extremely lively and has a certain resistance to the magic applied in it.

It can last up to 4 hours after each expansion, and then needs to remain weak for at least 12 hours]

[Expanding and shrinking require chanting spells. The relevant spells are as follows]

[Expand the spell:...]

[Shrinking spell:...]

(This is a very lively fog, which has a natural shielding effect on elemental magic. It is mainly aimed at magic detection, and has no effect on other non-magic types.

Secondly, once this mist unfolds, it cannot be dispelled by most effects.

You can use it to cover yourself, or you can try to use it to shield the enemy.

Dense fog will hinder both naked eye observation and magical peeping)

…

It is rare to see such an item that can be used immediately among [Unknown] items.

Moreover, its item introduction and description are relatively clear, without too many twists and turns, and there are no complicated backgrounds and origins.

It's the kind that can be used on the spot.

Its effect is very simple and practical, which makes Zong Shen very satisfied.

The only difficulty is that the incantation is too difficult to pronounce, and each note is jittery.

There are at least a hundred syllables.

It is neither the lingua franca of the Endless Continent nor any of Zong Shen’s known languages.

Fortunately, there is no need to read it at all. As long as you immerse yourself in it, the relevant syllables will automatically sound in your mind.

In this way, as long as you memorize it more and more, you will definitely be able to memorize these two spells.

Scratching his head, Zong Shen did not start carrying it on the spot, and planned to take time to carry it in the next two days.

Moreover, it does not have to personally control this [Lively Mist (Unknown)], so it can consider handing it over to its citizens.

Because its auxiliary effect is too obvious.

In addition, the shielding range is wide, making it suitable for use on frontal battlefields.

It’s not that small and beautiful thing.

So there’s really not much need to carry it with you.

After having a preliminary understanding of this [lively fog (unknown)], Zong Shen handed him over to the logistics heroes of the territory.

Learning spells doesn't have to be a hassle.

For heroic talents with some privileges, their contact with items can also awaken related options and prompts.

He left it to his men to learn the spell first, while he himself could choose to learn it later.

The next item in the storage compartment is a fancy-looking fruit.

Zong Shen extracted the fruit.

It's almost the same size as a grapefruit.

The scene is densely packed with irregular patterns.

The skin of the fruit is elastic but does not have any fruity aroma.

All its weirdness comes from the patterns on its surface.

Because it's really too messy.

This mess made him feel a little dazzled and a little dizzy.

"Weird."

"Will you be mentally affected just by looking at it?"

Zong Shen was a little surprised.

His mental resistance is almost full.

There are only a handful of things that can exert a mental influence on him.

The last time I had a similar feeling was the last time.

[Unknown] Items are still very powerful.

In the process of inspecting [Unknown] items, this situation is by no means an exception.

Shaked his head.

Zong Shen mobilized the strategy module in his mind to explore this fruit with strange lines.

With a thought, a line-by-line list of detailed information emerged.

[True random fruit (unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[Effect: True random (with countless possibilities, no one knows what kind of results will be triggered, and the results will not be affected by luck]

[Whether it is joyful or sad, good or bad, no one knows, let us give it a try]

(As we all know, randomness is divided into true randomness and pseudo-randomness, and most randomness is considered pseudo-randomness.

True randomness is inherently unpredictable and unconditionally independent

The occurrence of each result is completely random and cannot be inferred from known information. There is no periodicity in the sequence, and the probability of recurrence is only determined by the probability distribution.

Pseudo-random numbers are generated through algorithmic procedures or specific rules. Although their output looks random, has a statistically uniform distribution and a certain degree of unpredictability, it is essentially deterministic.

In short, true randomness originates from the chaos of nature and is unpredictable, while pseudo-randomness is based on algorithm and rule simulation and has inherent certainty.

Having said so much, this guide just wants to emphasize one point, that is, the results after eating this fruit are truly uncertain)

…

Zong Shen was speechless. After saying so much, didn't he actually emphasize that the consequences of eating this fruit are unpredictable?

Not even its own full luck can affect the outcome of this fruit.

So it really has an element of gambling.

You might die if you eat it.

There is no guarantee that you will get huge benefits after eating this fruit.

The main thing is a heartbeat.

Zong Shen curled his lips and immediately chose not to eat.

He is not at the end of his rope now, so there is no need to eat this kind of food.

Let’s keep it for now, it’s a good choice to use it to trick people later.

Of course, since this thing is a truly random fruit, Zong Shen cannot guarantee whether it can trick people.

That's what he thought for the time being.

Putting away this [True Random Fruit (Unknown)] with his backhand, he left an impression on it and didn't think much about it.

Then he took out the next item from the storage compartment, which was an Ace of Hearts playing card.

This is not the first time he has seen props that resemble chess and card shapes.

Chess pieces, playing cards, and dice.

The function of these props is often related to gambling.

Or it contains some gambling elements.

But speaking of it, the pattern of this playing card is very similar to the playing cards on Earth.

This is what surprised Zong Shen.

Although he had discovered a long time ago that some cultures on the earth could be seamlessly connected to the endless continent.

But when he saw this deck of playing cards, he became curious.

If we trace the origins of this part of the culture in the two worlds, we might be able to find some clues.

Zong Shen's desire to solve puzzles was aroused.

But he understood that knowing the cultural similarities between the two worlds would not help now.

The wood has become a boat, and it is difficult to recover when it is covered with water.

The arrival of the lord has long been an established fact.

Then there is no need to worry about anything.

Zong Shen is very open-minded about this issue.

It took the playing card out of the storage compartment and held it between two fingers while observing it.

The poker cards in this game are bigger than the common cards on Earth, but the big ones are limited.

The length should be about twenty centimeters, the width about eight or nine centimeters, and the thickness is average, but it still has a good texture when held between two fingers.

Charlemagne on the card wears a crown, holds a sword in one hand, and puts the other hand on the edge of his robe.

There is a cross pattern embroidered there.

Demonstrating supreme power and determination.

At this moment, the ordinary playing cards actually looked a bit domineering.

So what will be its function?

Zong Shen was a little curious about this.

After observing for a while, he narrowed his eyes slightly and activated the strategy module to observe.

All data are presented as subtitles.

[King of Hearts (Unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[How should I balance divine power and royal power? 】

[When you encounter a conflict between divine power and royal power, you may consider using it]

(Victory is the basis for gaining power, and power is the only way to gain prestige.

Those who have not faced the dispute between divine power and royal power cannot awaken the soul of the emperor in the K of Hearts)

…

"Emperor's Soul?"

"Divine power and royal power?"

Zong Shen repeated it in his mind and nodded thoughtfully.

He can roughly understand the meaning of this playing card.

After all, if you look back on history, Richard the Great is also a relatively famous foreigner in the history of the West on earth. His attitude towards divine power and royal power is completely in line with the introduction of playing cards. He seems to be supportive, but in fact he is extremely entangled.

But Zong Shen didn't have this problem.

He didn't believe in God, and he didn't have much reverence.

Although he occasionally uttered one or two words of "Gods are above", most of the time what he thought about was how to fight against the gods.

I will even pay special attention every time I get relevant props.

Any item that can resist the gods will naturally be regarded as a key item.

Therefore, there is no need to say that Zong Shen worships God. He is a complete blasphemer at heart.

It’s not that the Chinese people don’t believe in God, the Chinese people only believe in pragmatic Gods.

If the gods don't work, just push the temple and kill the Dragon King.

Zong Shen's habit of treating gods probably followed this tradition.

After counting, Zong Shen put the playing card away and classified it as something that would not be used temporarily.

And it also has speculations about the purpose of this thing. For example, it can make the divine power rebel against the royal power, or conversely, it can make the royal power rebel against the divine power.

No matter what, it definitely represents the conflict between the two powers.

Therefore, if he keeps it, he might come in handy in the future.

Disputes between the two powers exist in many places, and to be fair, they may actually have their uses.

Zong Shen didn't say much.

He knew that this playing card might not necessarily be used by himself, but could also disrupt the situation at some point in the future.

However, looking at the entire Endless Continent, no kingdom is currently troubled by divine power.

All the major human kingdoms have a tacit understanding of keeping a distance from each other.

The most typical example is probably the Kingdom of Avalon and the worship of the Dragon God.

…
