A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 72 17. Four properties of traits

Turning on the system, Levi saw a new interface pop up on the system, which he had never seen before.

[You copied new trait fragments]

【Fisherman's Trident】

[Rating: 1E]

[Materials required: Water Ghost Brain*1, sufficient amount of corroded metal salvaged from the water]

[Explanation: The characteristic fragment left by the water ghost (beast type), Yang]

[The rusty trident has long lost its former sharpness. 】

[Those who hold this item can roll up and control the water flow awkwardly. 】

[The traits you obtained have overflowed! 】

[Whether to replace "The Drowned Man's Jealousy" with: "The Fisherman's Trident"]

Levi thought to himself.

"Overflowing? Does it mean that the number of recipes has reached the upper limit? Or..."

His eyes then glanced at the illustrated book divided into four parts.

Yang, partial yang, partial yin, yin.

It seems that each trait has four different properties, and only one of each can be retained.

As for the differences between these four properties of props, Li Wei also had a vague guess.

"Yang" is a magic weapon, and its main function is to release various magics.

"Partial Sun" is a weapon, or an enchanted weapon. Although it can give negative effects to the enemy, it needs to be hit to be useful.

"Partial Yin" is a prop like amulet, and its effect is often to provide positive benefits to the wearer.

"Yin" is medicine, which has different effects.

After figuring this out, Levi felt a little more relaxed.

My system is like the Riddler... Even if you can't chat with me, you still need to give me some hints.

With this thought, Levi called up "The Drowned Man's Jealousy" and "The Fisherman's Trident" to compare the effects of the two props.

The former prefers a big move that kills one thousand enemies and damages eight hundred. All creatures within a diameter of 20 meters will forget how to swim... It's a bit like something from One Piece.

But this "all living things" seems to include Levi himself, and after throwing this thing into the water, you need to wait a day to recover it... It is too troublesome to use.

In comparison, the fisherman's trident is simpler, safer and more durable.

Lao Li, who was born in civil engineering, knows one thing very well: the more flashy something is, the less reliable it is.

After making the decision, he waved goodbye to the drowned man's jealousy. The formula in the "Yang" column was instantly distorted and turned into garbled characters. Then it was reorganized and a new line of text appeared on it.

【Fisherman's Trident】

"Oh, I've never seen this happen before... Could it be that there is a restriction after my system was upgraded?"

Levi closed the illustrated book and thought to himself.

However, this is most likely impossible, perhaps because he has never encountered a situation where the same trait formula has been fully collected before upgrading the system.

After doing this, Levi took a sip of hot cocoa and moved his eyes downward.

At this time, he discovered that the [phantom of the four worlds] lit up.

Levi became interested again. This function was not fully developed yesterday, so he just wanted to try it again today.

As soon as I thought about it, that wonderful ghost world where everything was covered with three layers of aperture appeared in front of me again. Levi glanced around. Whenever he entered this world, he would feel an itching feeling in his heart, as if urging him to explore the secrets of this world.

Levi suppressed the anxious feeling in his heart. His goal today was to figure out the functions of the scepter, sword, pentacle and Holy Grail.

He thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to condense the fiercely competing light of red and purple. As he gently pulled it, the light immediately condensed and merged together, turning into a light green.

The next moment, Levi fell into the original world, holding the long sword in his hand.

This is a typical Munich German long sword... it has a slender and simple appearance, like a weapon that would appear in The Witcher 3.

It is completely pure and flawless white, and its texture is like pottery, like a smooth white mold produced by 3D printing.

Levi tried to swing it, but he couldn't feel anything special. It was very light and had no sharp edge. He couldn't imagine how lethal such a weapon could be.

Isn’t the new ability just useless?

Li Wei couldn't believe it, and he raised the sword with both hands without giving up and looked up and down carefully.

At this time, he discovered that the light could actually penetrate the sword, as if it was just a thin white shadow that was fixed.

And on this white shadow that seemed to be floating in this world, Li Wei discovered a pattern engraved under the sword grid.

That's a six-pointed star, no, the right triangle and the horizontal line above it are a little deeper, like...

Levi suddenly thought of something, just like the pattern in his "sun" column!

Plus...a shape that looks like a white mold?

Levi looked at the illustrated book, and he suddenly thought of a certain Jiao Lao roommate in his previous life who was making models.

He immediately opened the illustrated book and turned his attention to the sun column.

There are currently only the Whisperer Bone Awl and the Sword of the Drowned. Levi hesitated for a moment, but in order to prevent the formula from being spoiled, he chose the Whisperer Bone Awl.

"Enchant the Whisperer Bone Cone onto the sword."

Levi thought in his heart, but there was no need to talk to himself at all. The moment his thoughts came out, the long sword changed, as naturally as blinking his eyes or raising his arm.

The originally smooth and white surface of the long sword quickly developed the texture of white bones, becoming turbid and yellow, the blade also became twisted, and the edge gradually became sharper. The bones at the sword grid seemed to have been twisted and eroded, and a right triangle and a triangle emerged. The upper horizontal line is particularly deep, and the rest has only shallow traces of the six-pointed star.

Levi was first surprised and then delighted, this is what C-level witchcraft should look like!

Immediately, information about the sword was automatically transmitted into his mind.

[Sword. Whisperer]

[Rating: 1D]

[Explanation: A creation created by using the original power of the philosopher to carry the characteristics of the demon spirit]

[A long sword wrapped in a deteriorated aura. Objects damaged by this sword will gradually become fragile and decayed]

Levi looked at it for a while and murmured thoughtfully.

"In other words... the essence of this witchcraft is to use my 'original essence' as the basis of power, and then use the collected formulas, that is, other people's 'traits' to give the power properties?"

The four treasures represent the four qualities of Levi's "philosopher" power, but this power needs to be combined with other "characteristics" to create a new appearance.

Levi swallowed and swung his sword again. A sharp sound broke through the air, proving that this blow indeed contained offensive power.

Moreover, Levi found that this sword was tailor-made for him, and its weight and center of gravity were exactly the most convenient configuration for him.

Levi was excited and couldn't wait to try the "deterioration" ability mentioned in the description. He looked around and saw the navy coat that was too smelly to wear.

I can't wear it anyway, so I feel sorry for you...

Li Wei stretched out his sword. The moment the sword blade touched the coat, the texture of the clothes where it touched quickly began to become fragile. The fibers on the clothes broke one by one visibly. Less than a minute later, the coat As if it had been weathered for a long time, like a relic dug out of an ancient tomb, a fragile area appeared centered around the place where the sword blade touched.

When Li Wei blew it, it turned into dust, leaving an irregularly shaped hole.
