[Number of times remaining to open today: 2/3]

[You can freely choose between the following two modes]

【Legendary Mode】{Creation/Continuation}
【Journey Mode】

……

Xu Shudian's eyes swept across the Taichu Scroll.

Compared to before when he clicked on the legendary mode, he will be directly prompted to consume a few times and enter.

It’s different now, after a safety stop yesterday, it now has two expanded branches.

"It seems that perhaps the journey will also have two states, but it didn't trigger in the safe zone yesterday. I don't know where to trigger it."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shu entered [Legend Mode] and the scene suddenly changed.

——【Create a Legend】: You will carry a random fate, obtain a random identity, start your legendary life, determine the universe, and reverse cause and effect.

——【Continue the Legend】: You will continue the legend you created, based on the landmarks, and trace the roots.

[Note that when you continue your legend, you will be matched with the past legendary Taoist mark according to the number of times you have consumed this time. ]

As the mist rose before his eyes and completely enveloped him, Xu Shu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

good very good!

I was right!
Continuing the legend, as its "literal meaning" suggests, is to continue the legend that came before him.

And judging from the literal meaning, the number of times you choose to continue the legend is the number of times you can choose to return to the legendary world that you created with the same number of times.

What was new about road signs? Xu Shu had no knowledge of them.

Another doubt is that Xu Shu knows that the three legends he has experienced so far all ended in death.

So how exactly will this legend continue?

Is it to enter the legend as a dead person and observe the development of the world from the perspective of a "third person" after death?

Or can you be resurrected directly and continue your previous journey?
If resurrection is possible, [Ancient Martial Dynasty] is fine. Resurrecting Wang Teng should not have much impact.

But in [The Fall of Kyoto], Japan was sunk by the gods.

After resurrecting Kamiya Ichiru, will he give Izanami another chance to kill him?

Could it be that the so-called continuation is to extract a new identity in those worlds and continue from another perspective?
But this doesn't seem right.

[Sword Frenzy] What to do?

That strange god outside the eyeball directly destroyed the entire world of Jianqi Continent. How can we get back?

"It's really strange. I'll know after a try. This time I'll choose to confirm and return to the Sword Energy Frenzy to see what's going on!"

Xu Shu actually had a little selfish motive behind this choice.

Because he died first in the frenzy of sword energy, but his thirteenth sister Xuanshuang, who had become the Sword Emperor at that time, was not dead yet.

The end of the Taichu volume also says "She may be able to escape the pursuit."

His current idea is, on the one hand, to test the specific gameplay of this continuation of the legend.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see if his paper wife was still alive.

As the only sister who has not had a relationship with him, Xu Shu actually likes Xuanshuang the most.

Furthermore, the legendary mode with 2 draws gives the key item for combining seals, the [Seal Altar], which is what Xu Shu needs right now.

He thought for a moment, then concentrated his mind and poked hard into the Taichu Scroll.

【Legend Mode】——【Continue the Legend】

【Please select your consumption frequency: 1/2 times. 】

"Stud."

[You have used up 2 times to start the continuation of the legend. ]

[Connecting to the legend signpost, expanding the list of available legends for you...]

【connecting……】

【connecting……】

【connecting……】

【…】

Xu Shu waited quietly.

It felt like almost an hour had passed.

however.

【connecting……】

"?"

what?
and then?
Being in the midst of chaos, Xu Shu, whose consciousness seemed to have risen to an infinitely high place, gradually became stunned.

There were no options such as drawing fate or choosing identity in front of him.

Only the flashing "Connecting..."

It's like the circle that keeps spinning when your computer freezes, or like a PDD that's always stuck at 99.99%.

It seems that there is only one step left, but in fact, it seems that it will not succeed at all.

"No, what's going on? Will the Taichu volume crash again?"

Xu Shu wanted to quit, but at the moment he could do nothing and could only wait silently.

Damn it, he found himself being held tightly in prison!

Time passed by minute by minute.

After an unknown amount of time, the scene in front of Xu Shu changed, and finally the subtitles appeared:
[Connection failed. You have not yet obtained a detectable legend sign. Your legend cannot be continued because it has ended before you could even start it.]

[Life is like chess. Once you make a move, you can never regret it. But you are very special. Not only did you not make any move, you didn't even bring the chessboard. Have you ever considered the feelings of the chess players? ]

[You are worthy of being the master of the Taichu Volume! Not only did you cut off your own retreat, you also cut off the road ahead. You are so arbitrary that you can make decisions for eternity! ]

"..."

Xu Shu woke up from a trance and found himself back in the car, which was parked in a secluded place behind the market at the city gate.

At this time, it seemed like a long time had passed, the sun was already in the west and was about to set.

Gu Pan squatted next to the tire again with a strange expression on her face. She looked at herself with some resentment.

At the same time, there was a faint sweet smell in the air, as if gardenias were blooming.

However, Xu Shu didn't have time to look around quickly to see what happened.

In the void before my eyes, the Taichu Volume flipped open:

"The legendary achievement is being calculated for you..."

"You performed very well this time. You are well versed in the way of purity and inaction, so you have achieved nothing."

"Evaluation: Wanting people to fight but not giving them food, wanting people to be good but not giving them a house! Master, the Taichu Volume is full of thoughts of offering my heart for you, what else is in your mind? Take a look at yours."

"Your consumption times this time: two!"

"You failed to connect to the beacon. According to the rules, you cannot obtain the "Mark Altar" reward for continuing the legend this time."

"I will implement the principle of equal exchange and refund for you: deduct 1 time as a supplement for the lost source of the Primordial Scroll; you will receive 1 legendary reward."

"You have obtained the title: [Clown Crown (Excellent)]

"【Clown Crown (Excellent)】: Don't bow your head, or the crown will fall off; don't cry, or the yellow-haired guy will laugh - there's always someone who wants to be a clown, why can't that person be you?
"When you wear this title, you become a complete clown. The louder you cry, the louder your enemies laugh."

[Number of times opened today: 0/3]

……

"grass?"

Excellent?

God damn green hat! "The legend is over?"

"No, I haven't even gotten in the car yet!"

Looking at the dazzling green title "Clown Crown" falling into the prop library, Xu Shu licked his lips and thought rapidly in his mind.

It turns out that without the signpost, the opening will fail!

I used it twice, and failed to open it. Taichu Scroll deducted it once, and gave it back to me once.

What if I open it once? Will it be paid back first or deducted first?
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! It's not like I'm at a disadvantage. This clown crown is actually pretty good!"

Xu Shu touched his chin and pondered.

In other words, he needs to obtain a "Legendary Sign" himself in order to continue the legend?

The meaning is very clear.

But the problem is that the Taichu Volume doesn’t say which mode will drop the legendary beacon!
Damn it, it was the same before, they only said that there would be rewards for Legend and Journey, but didn’t tell in advance what the rewards were, and Xu Shu had to try them out one by one on his own.

According to the information currently known to Xu Shu, neither the Legend Mode nor the Journey Mode currently rewards pass marks.

There are two types of journey mode: "props" and "skills".

As for the legendary mode, there are three types.

Depending on the number of times it is consumed (1/2/3 times), the "title", "mark", and the "Xuanzhang" of heaven-defying fortune will be dropped respectively.

In other words, the Taichu volume was written by Xu Shu himself. He was the planner himself, so you can't blame him. There's nothing you can do about it.

Otherwise, if this was put into the game of the previous life, if the planner dared to do this and did not put the "estimated rewards" on the details page for players to refer to, all the horses in the planner's family would be dead.

Well, it’s all tears if I talk too much.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of seals and mysterious chapters..."

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes.

These two things are the areas he will focus on next.

His Hercules Seal is now at level 12, and it will be just around the corner to reach the full level of level 20.
——For him who has the ability to "sit up" and is not afraid of the damage to his body caused by the erosion of cursed energy, as long as he doesn't encounter a bottleneck, he can upgrade by taking drugs mindlessly and violently.

But if you encounter a bottleneck, there is nothing you can do. No matter how many sit-ups you do, you must rely on enlightenment.

Just like the physician's path he had taken in the legendary [Sword Frenzy], he was equivalent to possessing three purple curse seals.

A purple curse seal, the theoretical maximum level is 18.

When Xu Shu's third curse seal was upgraded to level 17, he encountered a bottleneck, resulting in a total level of 18+18+17=53, which could not reach level 54 and could not accommodate the next soul ring (curse seal).

——This knowledge was acquired by Xu Shu from the female teacher Gu Pan recently.

These basic knowledge are not discussed on the Internet. Thanks to Gu Pan, it played a crucial role in my enlightenment.

Xu Shu now knew that after the extraordinary person's first-order curse reached the maximum level, he could try to apply for array authorization to "upgrade" the drive.

Thereby containing the second curse seal, he advanced to the second-level extraordinary being.

But there is a requirement, the second-level spell must be of the same profession as the first-level spell.

If you try to contain a curse that is not from this method, there are only two results: either the containment fails and you die, or the second-level curse is directly absorbed as dog food, which will not only result in no improvement, but will also cause you to suffer serious damage.

In short, it is impossible for anyone to do this. It is no different from hanging yourself because you are tired of living. You will die if you try it.

The first-level career choice of a transcendent determines the future upgrade path.

If you want to change the path, you have to wash off the original first-level professional curse.

This is equivalent to deleting the account and reopening it.

"If you want to become stronger, you need to make some plans for the future. You can't waste all your time on the expedition every day."

Xu Shu thought about it and decided that his current short-term goal was to "upgrade", so he would work hard to reach the maximum level first.

Upgrading requires brushing erosion crystals, which come from two sources.

One is to brush ruins, the other is to open up new lands, both are team activities, the safety factor is much higher than if he fights alone, and the efficiency is also higher - and some of them can be purchased.

The long-term goal is to collect the marks and mysterious chapters of the "Path of the Alien Warrior" in preparation for advancing to the second-level [Alien Iron Armor] in the future.

This is not so easy to obtain, because before extracting the fate, it is impossible to know what kind of fate it belongs to——

This is the biggest problem with Xu Shu's dual professional curses.

Not to mention that the experience required for upgrading is more than others, even the advancement requires obtaining new curse marks, which is unique and extremely difficult.

Because, one of the terms in his curse is "alien species".

This is the entry for the three Gui families. Xu Shu estimated that even if he searched the entire human alliance, he would not be able to find another person who had the same needs as him.

This curse cannot be purchased, so he can only synthesize it himself.

"However, maybe we can focus on Xuan Zhang first! As for the curse seal, I have a doctor's seal, so I can find a way to upgrade it to online trading..."

The epic "Mark of the Physician" can be used to synthesize the epic Physician's Curse.

Xu Shu could not use this curse. His priority was to use it to train his own team members and raise a reliable grandmother who would be absolutely loyal to him.

After all, when the third-level "Player of Life" of the physician profession was upgraded to the fourth-level "Lord of Abundance", he was able to save his life. This can be said to be an extremely incredible skill.

As for the candidate, Xu Shu was ignorant before and considered one person.

But as he studied with Gu Pan, he had given up this idea.

Because that person, like him, was not qualified, it would be extremely difficult for her to become a transcendent, unless she also had the ability to "sit-ups", which unfortunately she didn't have.

Although the "title" can be embedded into other "cursed tools" like Xuan Zhang, it can allow Xu Shu to turn her from an internal setting into an external setting.

However, sit-ups are taboo-level, and one has to find a "legendary" spell tool, or Xu Shu has to get a legendary "prop" himself, which is a long way off.

Therefore, Xu Shu gave up the original candidate.

In fact, at this point, Xu Shu's trust in Gu Pan has increased a lot.

If she was willing, Xu Shu wouldn't mind letting her be his personal wet nurse.

The two of them have been through life and death together, and can be considered to have a life-and-death friendship.

But Xu Shu remembered it very clearly. She had mentioned before that it was because she didn't want to be a doctor that she came out to seek experience.

So Xu Shu could only exclude her first and make a long-term plan later.

At this point, it looks like this epic mark might be sold.

Xu Shu did have this idea, but he had to be cautious and not expose himself for the sake of the transaction.

Gu Pan mentioned in his last words that the epic curse was enough to make more than 99.9% of people jealous and want to fight for it.

If you rashly sell this thing, you will probably only bring danger to yourself - the man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.

Of course, if he is strong enough, that’s another story.

……

Xu Shu came back to his senses, looked at Gu Pan, whose steps were a little unsteady but whose spirits were inexplicably high, and asked, "What time is it now?"

Gu Pan looked at him with a struggling expression, clenched his fists, stuffed the soup bowl under the seat as if nothing had happened, and answered casually while starting the engine, "It's almost four o'clock."

"It's so late."

Xu Shu seemed to be thinking about something.

Every time the legend is consumed, four hours will pass in the real world, which is consistent with the information he originally had.

It seems that there is indeed no bug in the Taichu Volume of this Legend, and the problem lies with myself. However, there is no explanation in the Taichu Volume where the landmark is, and I cannot trigger the dialogue. I can only take it step by step.

"Well, now that things have come to this, it's time to eat before the vendors close their stalls."

Xu Shu cleared his throat and said, "Teacher~"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Gu Pan was alert. It was bound to be bad when this guy called him teacher in a sarcastic tone.

Xu Shu looked at the market town in the distance, and the image of her seductive appearance lying on the water tank yesterday appeared in his mind. He couldn't help licking his lips and said:
"Teacher, I miss your special Roujiamo from yesterday."

"what?"

Gu Pan didn't understand what was going on, so he covered his mouth and chuckled, "Okay, then let's go eat Roujiamo together."
