Chapter 128 Blood-Drinking Copper Coin Sword
"Coo coo..."
After downing two glasses of blood wine mixed with mints, Fang Jin used the momentum to suppress his irritability and finally recovered from his depression. In fact, he wasn't that upset; he was just indulging himself a little.
Yeah... really.
Chewing the particles in his mouth until they were crushed, Fang Jin deceived himself, while glancing at another data essence on the table, and the clown doll that bounced back and looked at him with a smug grin...
Fang Jin silently repeated the above steps, but this time he almost bent his fingers by pressing them down, while holding a knife in his right hand against the clown doll's neck.
"...Spin it faster, damn it."
He chewed on the candy, seemingly making only this one not-too-excessive request, but the blade scraped upwards a few times, making the doll's smile seem even more intense, though its thin legs seemed to tremble uncontrollably.
The vortex of the roulette wheel deepened, its surface covered with dense text from various worlds. The rotation speed was designed to be invisible to onlookers; whatever the doll's hand grasped below was the reward.
With a "pop," the cheap toy reopened the mysterious teleportation channel, and a golden, flame-like ball of light rolled to the ground. Fang Jin finally understood how to deal with card draws.
That is "fighting".
【Equipment Name: Bloodthirsty Copper Coin Sword (Fragmented)】
[Equipment Quality: Tier 3 Spirituality]
【Feature 1: "Dispersed": Forty-nine copper coins are wrapped in blood-red threads. Each coin can be separated from the sword and manipulated at will, but no more than half of the total number can be used at a time, and the range must be within the red line】
【Feature 2: "Haunted by a Bloodthirsty Imp": Each coin contains a bloodthirsty imp. When attached to an enemy, it draws blood from the corresponding area, causing the enemy's limbs to stiffen temporarily. This effect can be stacked】
【Characteristic 3: "Attracting Hatred": Small ghosts crave the blood of the living, and large ghosts crave fresh, rotting flesh. Using the copper coin sword in a place of extreme darkness will attract the gaze of vengeful ghosts. Be careful not to trap yourself in their trap.】
[Equipment Requirements: Every seven days, the entire magic sword must be smeared with fresh blood; otherwise, it will be haunted by imps and suffer a backlash.]
[Note: Congratulations to the player for becoming the biological father of forty-nine mischievous children]
Fang Jin frowned. This time, his luck seemed pretty good. He had a spiritual piece of equipment with three characteristics, and its actual effect was even better than giving him a mid-level equipment directly. Moreover, it was marked as incomplete.
But clearly, its power doesn't come from any ordinary faction, whether it's the high-tech side, the advanced side, or even the mythological side. The Copper Coin Sword has nothing to do with their characteristics; on the contrary, it shares similarities with the last faction...
The Mysterious Side.
Mystery is just a general term; all kinds of folklore and supernatural phenomena are included in this category. Their characteristic is not that they are powerful, but that they are incomprehensible. Because they are incomprehensible, they are often difficult to break through.
In this faction, rank and level are only for reference. They inevitably have patterns and solutions. Once found, the mystery can be controlled and contained. As for ignoring the patterns and brute-force solutions...
It often requires being two levels higher than the corresponding system, or even not limited to the watershed between the middle and high levels. It is domineering and difficult to understand, which is the true meaning of mystery.
Therefore, the copper coin sword is a very powerful piece of equipment, but it is also undoubtedly the most easily out-of-control item in Fang Jin's hands. Under the overheating brought about by the furnace mode, it can only be used to kill children.
"Not only do little demons haunt you... but they also easily attract the attention of larger demons. And both small and large demons seem to be creations of the mystical realm. If you don't use these things properly, you might end up cutting your own flesh..."
Fang Jin muttered to himself, while simultaneously slashing a long, bloody gash on his arm. The blood dripped onto the copper coin sword, and the copper coins seemed to instantly come to life.
It contracted to an extremely slight degree, absorbing the blood that fell on the sword like a sponge. As a result, the blood spread across the sword very slowly, and Fang Jin even had to use energy to stimulate the production of blood in his body.
Only when the blood of the three people was completely consumed, and simple human faces appeared on the coins as if drawn with water, faintly emitting childlike laughter, did this "feeding" finally come to an end.
"I need to kill three people every seven days to feed this sword... otherwise I'll have to cut my own flesh and bleed myself."
Fang Jin smiled with satisfaction. The higher the price, the stronger the equipment from the mystical side could be. The copper coin sword was one of the surprises that brought him.
...I just don't know when it will turn into shock, or even horror. Fang Jin sighed as if she had a premonition, and at the same time ended the calculation, opened the simulated space, and returned to the section of the black iron train.
In this world, at this time, night has just fallen.
……
"Ring ring~"
Dinner was served on time. Today's main dish was carrot stewed mutton, with a thick sauce topped with small chilies and peas, accompanied by a few side dishes to cut through the richness and a bowl of fragrant rice. The aroma filled the entire carriage.
When Fang Jin came out, Guo San and the others had all ordered their own meals and were huddled together watching the young lady on CCTV broadcasting financial news. Their mouths were drooling more than three times the amount they usually did at dinner.
Guo Shi, however, had no interest in that. She listened intently to a financial program, flipping through several thick books that Fang Jin couldn't understand with her right hand, while her left hand compared the location of the land deed with the map of the main urban area...
Only her empty mouth was eating dinner, sipping soup and mushy rice through a thick straw. Almost all other parts of her body were working. To be honest, watching Fang Jin made me feel inexplicably sorry for her.
"Let's get some rest..."
"Is there any way to add my name to these land deeds besides marriage and divorce? Or maybe I could find a godfather? I think I'm old enough... Ah, my dear deputy leader, come out here."
As the person turned their head, their expression shifted from sinister to sunny, as if printed out, before meeting Fang Jin's purely contemptuous gaze. Guo Shi immediately tried to salvage the situation by presenting dinner with both hands.
"This is the deputy boss's order for you. Large portion of meat, small portion of spicy. If you find it too greasy, I also have a large portion of lemonade I brought from the City That Never Sleeps. You could drink it all tomorrow and still not finish it, and I can even give you a refill..."
"I don't eat large portions."
"..."
Despite saying that, Fang Jin still accepted the dinner and sat down opposite Guo Shi. He was still a little dazed after coming out of the long dungeon, and food was the best way to deepen his connection with this world.
"Why go through all this trouble when you've only taken over a few branches? These stores are in terrible locations and have no business. Do we really need our future black market tycoon to rack our brains trying to figure out how these worthless businesses can be put to good use?"
Fang Jin said nonchalantly that, in the end, the shops in the main urban area were just a deposit. He didn't really care how much it was worth, since he would have to return it after the test was completed anyway. He could just not buy it.
