Chapter 29 Save Point

Chu Wuji originally intended to allocate the 2 free points to the [God] attribute.

So far, both the highest value of [Essence] and the lowest value of [Qi] can be improved through practice, but Chu Wuji has not yet found a way to improve the [Spirit] attribute.

The prizes given out by the calendar can only increase a god's power by about 0.5, which is rounded down to the point that they are not visible on the panel.

Furthermore, if he fails to develop a potion to suppress Muzan's control during the Demon Slayer arc, Chu Wuji plans to allocate all his points to [God] and rely on willpower to turn the tables.

However, Chu Wuji hadn't expected that achieving immunity to sunlight would require such a high [essence] attribute, so he had no choice but to invest all of it.

Perhaps due to having two "divine" attributes, plus the fact that his "blood-only" state evolved into "blood-eating," Chu Wuji's craving for flesh and blood was not strong. Even the rare blood that was extremely attractive to ghosts in the original work was nothing more than a cold drink to Chu Wuji after exercising in the summer.

If he weren't still in a demonic state and desperately needed energy, Chu Wuji could have faced the temptation of rare blood without batting an eye.

After about 5 liters of blood were consumed, the hunger caused by energy deficiency disappeared completely.

Instead, a sense of power welled up from every part of my body.

Chu Wuji could feel that a small portion of the energy he had consumed had been integrated into his body, beginning to alter the composition of his physical form.

However, the majority of the energy was absorbed into the bloodstream, seemingly brewing something.

It's not hard to guess that this is a sign that his Blood Demon Art is about to be born.

Chu Wuji was actually quite curious about what kind of Blood Demon Art he would acquire. According to the original work, Blood Demon Art was derived from the person's life experiences, personality, hobbies, and other factors.

My own life story... Could it be part of the "Domain Expansion: Mysterious Little Shop"?

Since he was still in the early stages, Chu Wuji didn't plan to go out and have fun. After sending Gu Zixin a message that he would be minding the shop in the afternoon, he sat down in the cold storage, studying the transformation device while occasionally taking a sip of blood to promote his demon transformation.

Chu Wuji still had some thoughts about Skadi, after all, he was a fan of Mask in his previous life.

In Chu Wuji's view, Skadi's design was full of flaws.

This does not refer to the performance of the Skadi armor. The armor's performance depends on the machine soul code, and Chu Wuji, being an outsider, could not possibly instruct Lin Zhou, a coding expert.

Just as Lin Zhou himself said before, his wife's last wish was for Skadi to shine in the world, but now the task Lin Zhou has given Chu Wuji is simply to prevent Skadi from disappearing.

What's the problem?

It's obviously operations!

First, let's talk about the suit. Skadi's suit does have a unique and cool style, but looking at the other one, Machine Knight Maz, reveals a huge problem.

Skadi's skin has no special effects.

Whether it's transforming, switching forms, or unleashing powerful attacks, Skadi has no special effects. The only clever touch is that pressing the wolf head transformation device will cause sparks to fly.

A quick online search for Skadi reveals that even the voice line "Let the Ice Hunt begin!" during the form-switching sequence was uttered by Lin Zhou himself.

This is similar to how Jotaro's "Ora" in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure was spoken by Star Platinum, while Dio's "Muda" was voiced by himself. Skadi's cool factor is not as high as other Machine Knights.

Therefore, as a ten-year veteran fan of Masked Man, Chu Wuji took the initiative to contact Lin Zhou and began adding a series of special effects for Skadi.

Because the special effects do not involve the combat power level of the Machine Knights, the programming difficulty is extremely low.

After solving the special effects problem, Chu Wuji discovered another issue: Skadi was too taciturn.

Looking at the perspectives of passersby on video websites, Skadi only shouts once when she changes form, from her appearance to defeating the enemy and leaving or being defeated and escaping.

The most important component of sophistication is famous quotes, just like when you talk about "what is the difference between a king and his mount", you will think of hair gel and indigo dye.

Quotes were a must, so Chu Wuji immediately began recording numerous quotes from the arrogant figures in his past life in his brain, preparing to recite them when he made his appearance later.

The final link is strength. All you can do is talk big and then get beaten to a pulp. That's Jiahao.

Therefore, in order to avoid being labeled as Jiahao or the King of Suffering Setbacks, Chu Wuji's own strength cannot be lacking.

When you're deep in thought, the passage of time is often imperceptible.

By the time Chu Wuji had finished organizing Skadi's collection of quotes, it was already dark outside.

At the same time, due to the intake of a large amount of dilute blood, the quantitative change in Chu Wuji's blood has reached a peak.

With just a thought from Chu Wuji, a quantitative change instantly led to a qualitative change.

[Skill acquired: [Blood Demon Art - ? ?]]

【Blood Demon Art - ? ?: Leaves a mark at a certain point in time (total marks = proficiency level × Qi attribute). Afterwards, the player can consume 10% of their total HP to trigger [Self-Return] or [Multi-Player Return]. If the HP after returning is not enough to cover the cost, the player will maintain 1% HP until the cost is repaid.】

[Self-regression: restoring oneself to the marked time]

[Multi-person Return: Returns entities other than the user to their marked time state (Number of entities that can be returned = Proficiency Level × Qi Attribute)]

[P.S.: After becoming a demon, your HP will be linked to your stamina.]

Chu Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly. This skill description was really long, but thankfully it hadn't reached the point of being a long essay.

To be honest, this skill is really sneaky; isn't it just a save point?

It perfectly matches my identity as a player.

The only downside is that you can't cheat; the health lost won't be restored after a rollback.

Chu Wuji opened the panel and named the Blood Demon Technique a save point.

"Let's give it a try."

Currently, the proficiency of [Blood Demon Art - Save Point] is still at the beginner level. Even after multiplying by the Qi attribute which is also 1, it only has 1 point. This means that Chu Wuji can only leave one save point at a time.

With a thought, Chu Wuji created a phantom image that only he could see, as if a frame of Chu Wuji's projection had been extracted from a video recording.

Immediately afterwards, the true energy within Chu Wuji's body was detonated, and half of Chu Wuji's body instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, which then slowly regenerated due to the characteristics of a ghost.

[Health Points: 100% → 50% + 50% (Virtual)]

"So this is how health points are calculated after turning into a ghost?"

Stamina is being depleted, and the 50% health displayed as a fictitious value is quickly converted into actual health.

Before his body could fully heal itself, Chu Wuji immediately activated the Blood Demon Technique.

In an instant, Chu Wuji felt an immense power act upon him, as if time had reversed. His regenerated flesh receded, the blood mist in the sky reversed and re-condensed, and even his position returned to the spot where he left the save point, with the exact same posture.
