My fairy tale is actually a strange story

Chapter 8 Alchemy Remaining Coins
  After dinner, Jiang Yuncheng continued to surf the Internet intensively.

From the Internet, you can see "other cities" outside Lucheng.

However, the news in other cities is very random, and the maps are also very rough. It is purely a cocoon of forged information.

It was late at night, and Jiang Yuncheng threw down the bucket from the Yin Yang Water Pavilion and started fishing.

[Obtained: 13 spiritual energy]

[Obtain: Alchemy Remnant Coins]

"13...wait! How many?!"

Jiang Yuncheng stared at the game interface with wide eyes. In fact, there is no such thing as "dazzling" in the game in the soul. It is indeed 13 auras.

I just caught it at 8 o'clock in the morning, and now it's early 23 o'clock at night. Why is the output so large?

There was still a sense of discomfort in the space, and Jiang Yuncheng realized that it was the Lucheng Welfare Institution.

The evil creatures in the entire orphanage worshiped together, and the aspiration generated by awe and fear twisted their spiritual energy and flew towards the Moshan Tunnel. This process increased the harvest of the Yin Yang Water Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuncheng suddenly felt that it was a pity that the midnight worship service ended.

In addition to the double-digit spiritual energy, there is also something called [Alchemy Remnant Coin].

This is the first game prop that Jiang Yuncheng has seen.

It is a prop that was salvaged from the Yin Yang Water Pavilion along with the spiritual energy like copper coins.

[Alchemy Remnant Coin: The winning money that has the magic alchemy left in it]

The Art of Weary of Victory, pronounced as pressure to win, is a school of alchemy that existed before Jiang Yuncheng's time travel. It can be simply and roughly broken down into words to mean "suppression to win."

It comes from the "Book of Han·Biography of Wang Mang": "On the southern outskirts of Mangqin, a mighty fight was made. The mighty fight was made of five stones of copper, like the Beidou, two feet and five inches long. It was intended to defeat all the soldiers with its tiredness."

The art of defeating requires the use of many defeating objects, which can be jade beast cards, swords, and the most common ones are "scoring money" similar to ancient coins with square mouths and round coins.

In many cases, items such as talismans and talismans can be used interchangeably with talisman paper and jade ornaments. Ancient coins are easier to preserve than the other two items, so they have a wide range of applications. Some magic spells are often engraved on them.

Looking at the remaining coins of Fang Shu, Jiang Yuncheng gradually understood the general gameplay framework of this game.

As for gods and monsters like Shadow Girl, they mainly eat Kaidan fragments to gain experience points, and analyze the magic spells available to them from the Kaidan fragments, which are game skills.

Players rely on the Yin Yang Water Pavilion to salvage coin-like spiritual weapons or experience points. Under special circumstances, the remaining alchemy coins will be fished out. This is a way for players to obtain skills.

Click [Alchemy Remnant Coin] to confirm use.

This thing did not produce experience points, but directly added an icon to Jiang Yuncheng's skill pool.

[Looking at the smoke: Burning the smoke into gas, gaining insight into the mysteries]

The art of looking at smoke comes from the Miao people in northeastern Guizhou. The most common operation is to burn the straw mat covered by the deceased, and identify the whereabouts of the deceased by sensing the smoke state.

The higher the correlation between the burning object and the deceased, the more information can be detected.

As a game skill, Yanyan has two modes. One is to look directly at the target when it is right in front of you;
  The second is that the target leaves some traces, which can be detected indirectly through burning things in contact with it and through smoke.

"Great…"

Although it is not a direct attack skill, by looking at the smoke, Jiang Yuncheng can at least know the strength of the evil thing he is facing.

It's quite uncomfortable to see the level increase, but not know what level the monster is.

The skill of Wangyan has certain limitations. Facing higher-level enemies, more mana needs to be consumed when exploring;
  If the level gap is too large, a huge amount of spiritual power will be wasted but cannot be detected.

No matter what, it is better to have a skill that can check the approximate strength of the enemy than to live in a city of unknown monsters. Lin Lan died in the Moshan Tunnel last night. It was clearly written in the news, so can you burn some of her things to see what level she is?

Lin Lan actually didn't stay in this room for a few days, and the personal items he left behind were limited, and the lipstick and other items were not in close contact with him long enough.

Jiang Yuncheng turned around and looked at the clothes hanging on the balcony...

If you use smoke, it might actually burn. It's not easy to burn large clothes in the room, so... try that triangular piece of fabric.

Click on the skill icon, and Jiang Yuncheng's blue bar will be slightly reduced. This is only the spiritual energy required for burning. Subsequent specific perception and detection require additional calculation of spiritual energy consumption.

However... the things in his hands were burned up, and the game interface did not feedback any information and there was no subsequent consumption of spiritual power, indicating that even close-fitting clothing was not enough to retain the aura of the soul.

Indeed, compared to the most common burning straw mats in the smoke-watching technique, those are slept on every day after all, and according to the customs of some places, those who are about to die will be placed in the hall before taking their last breath. The name of the ceremony is In order to "come out of the hall", the person lying on the bed is also the original bedding.

Close-fitting clothing is still clothing and needs to be changed every day. It may only come once every few days, which does not meet the conditions for watching smoke.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door outside the guest room, and Jiang Yuncheng turned around warily.

The balcony was still filled with the smell of burned things, and the embers of burned fabrics fell on the ground. At this time, someone came in and bumped into it. There was no way to explain it.

The clock on the wall shows the current time.

23:45
  It's so late, there won't be anyone offering midnight snacks.

After all, the other party opened the door and came in without taking the key. Jiang Yuncheng quickly took a broom and swept the ashes into the dustpan and asked casually.

"Who is it?"

"Me, Aunt Fang."

The dustpan was knocked on the armrest, and the dust inside and the ashes left by the burning fell into the flower garden downstairs. Jiang Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, let Ying Niang hide in the dark, and walked through the bedroom to open the door.

"Aunt Fang, what's wrong?"

Aunt Fang outside the door looked completely evil. Her facial skin was as torn and shriveled as an ancient tree, and the dark blue jaws and teeth in her mouth were completely exposed.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuncheng had a good psychological quality that he had trained as a master of dancing in his previous life, and he also knew in advance that there were almost all evil things in Lu City, otherwise there was a high chance that he would not be able to maintain his expression.

"The worship ceremony is almost over. The dean asked you to go over and go to the underground ancestral hall in your original appearance to thank the master of Moshan Baosha for not killing anyone."

"This…"

Jiang Yuncheng was not frightened when he suddenly saw the evil-looking Aunt Fang when he opened the door, but the request in these words really frightened Jiang Yuncheng.

Let me use my original appearance to go to the underground ancestral hall to thank the owner of Moshan Pagoda. This is my original appearance now!

I have the evil appearance of P.

"Xiao Jiang." Aunt Fang urged, "Let's go quickly, it's almost midnight."

"I…"

There was no buffer time left for Jiang Yuncheng to deal with. He had to leave now and immediately. He had to go to the auditorium where all the members of the Lucheng Welfare Institute gathered. When he walked up the underground stairs into the ancestral hall, he had to use the original appearance of the evil object all the way.

Even if Jiang Yuncheng wants to escape now, Aunt Fang's shouting can attract a lot of evil things at any time.

Can you kill her?
  Jiang Yuncheng looked at the smoke with a sharp look in his eyes!
