From Prisoner to Si Chen

Buzz——

Ji Lan felt his mind was shaken.

In the corner of his dark vision, the colorful number "608" jumped suddenly, plummeting to "8", 600 points of energy were consumed in an instant.

"Banlan" used this to carry out mysterious deductions, making Jilan seem to have received divine enlightenment. Many strange and wonderful ideas emerged like a fountain, and his imagination was wide open.

The four prakriti, the beggar, the liar, the clown, and the private, are like four satellites, surrounding the makeup artist prāṇī as the planet.

The path of "Lady Elegant" in June, the path of "White Dove Poet" in October, the path of "Miss Elegy" in April, and the path of "The Blind General" in November.

The four paths came together and merged with the "director" path in February.

The advantages of each path seemed to be absorbed by "Beautiful", and then using the path of "Director" as a template, a new essence was slowly derived...

boom! !

Thoughts blend together.

Ji Lan seemed to be in the darkness and saw five stars colliding with each other and turning into countless fragments.

Immediately, colorful light fell from the sky, like a big hand, gathering these fragments together and "pinching" them into a shining star——

The "brand of Shenxiang" in Jilan's heart was shaken.

This moment.

The "dial" engraved with twelve mysterious symbols overlaps with the dazzling "star".

Among them, the five symbols at 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock are like hollows, penetrated by light, becoming extremely dazzling and eye-catching.

It was at this moment that Jilan suddenly felt that his body, under the influence of the "Shenxiang Brand", not only touched the brand new fourth-level essence, but also had a link with the Shenxiang that did not exist in reality. .

The skin, flesh, bones and internal organs all over his body underwent mysterious changes at the microscopic level, an unexplainable change...

Gillan has an inexplicable intuition.

He felt that his aging had been delayed and he could live longer in the world!

"Kyusei..."

Ji Lan opened his eyes suddenly and murmured.

"I am making the leap to the Kuze user stage!"

At the same time, he finally understood what the fourth-level essence he had been promoted to was——

Its name is "Player".

This is the new essence that "Banlan" finally deduced after learning from the five paths, adhering to Jilan's subconscious desire for strength, yearning for freedom, and pursuit of freedom.

The changes in the body lasted for nearly an hour before slowly ending.

Gilan stood up from the ground and moved his body a little. Soon, he was shocked to find that his body had been strengthened by at least 50% based on the original!

‘How strong am I now? ’

He took a deep breath, but felt vaguely confident.

'Perhaps...even if the "Crazy Owl State" is not activated, physical strength alone plus kicking skills and secret sword skills should be enough to compete with the fourth level of the body spiral. ’

'Once you enter the "crazy owl state", your strength will be greatly improved again. By then, the ordinary level 4 will probably not be my opponent. ’

Jilan's eyes were sharp, and there was a glint in his eyes.

‘And, I also have brand new power of essence. ’

Level 4 “Player”——

Its strengths are different from any Si Chen path. It neither focuses on the body, nor on the spirit or soul... It is even difficult to classify it.

At least, that's what Gillan thinks.

He silently felt the feedback brought by the new essence, and the surprise and complicated feelings in his heart were beyond words.

The first ability of "player" is called "Appearance Adjustment".

As a game anchor in his previous life, Gillan is extremely familiar with this ability.

It can adjust the appearance of the character, which is commonly known as face pinching in gaming terminology.

This is also an analysis and reference for February's "director" path and the fourth-level "makeup artist".

With this ability, Jilan can adjust his appearance at will, including height, weight, defects and even the size of various body parts...

With it, Gilan is enough to transform into anyone, even a woman...even someone who doesn't look like a human being.

Of course, this ability also has limitations.

There are certain upper and lower limits for changes in various parts of the body. You cannot erase them, nor can you conjure non-existent functions out of thin air.

And there is a time limit for appearance adjustment.

What is consumed is Jilan's spirituality, and over time, it may even cause serious damage.

But even so, Gillan is quite satisfied with his new abilities.

As for the second ability of the "player", it is a very powerful auxiliary ability called "Guidance Tips".

Gillan is no stranger to this either.

In the game, whether it is a mission or a battle, you can call up the "prompt function".

But with this essence, Gilan can get real-time guidance prompts in reality. No longer limited to real film or apocalyptic dreams.

For this ability, "Bailan" draws on the advantages of "Private". Once turned on, it can put Jilan in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, like a sleepwalking state.

From this, the power of the "Apocalypse Dream" can be used in reality to analyze the target to a certain extent, feedback information, and even weaknesses!

After entering the mysterious field, Gillan knew the importance of the "information gap".

Take actual combat as an example.

If both sides are equally matched in strength, then whoever exposes more trump cards will be at a greater disadvantage.

And Jilan has a "guidance prompt", which is equivalent to occupying a dominant position from the beginning, which can be said to be an auxiliary ability that surpasses the same level of essence.

The third ability of the "player" is also the last ability. Its focus is quite unique. Jilan can't even find the slightest similarity among the twelve Sichen paths.

But it is indeed the ability deduced by "Bailan" after analyzing the three-dimensional journey of art.

It's called "The Golden Lament."

But Guillen prefers to call it a "mission trigger."

It is also a familiar function, and it is also very consistent with the characteristics of "players".

Being "Beautiful" was abruptly brought to reality.

This ability is the biggest difference from Gillan's previous game. "Tasks" are not programmed in advance, but are triggered randomly by meeting certain conditions.

Once Jilan triggers the "mission", a golden exclamation point will appear above his head, which requires extremely high gnosis to perceive.

When Jilan receives and completes the "task", he will receive a "reward".

This "reward" is not a physical object, but an "experience" specifically used to feedback one's own gnosis, spirituality and physical strength.

In short, "Golden Sigh" is a unique ability to accelerate growth.

With it, Jilan will climb faster on the "Road of the Fire Sword"!

…

…

After successfully advancing to level 4 "Plenty".

The most obvious thing Jilan felt was the luster of his own spirituality, faintly revealing the shadow of the "brand of Shenxiang".

It's not obvious and requires careful observation to spot. From a certain perspective, this is a manifestation of the close connection between Kuze people and the land of gods.

At the same time, this is also an important reason why long-term people can live longer.

It seems that some kind of power in the land of gods has allowed the Kusei to break through the limits of the mortal world and extend its existence in the world.

‘It’s been half a year since I traveled to this different world, and now I’ve reached a new peak in the field of mysticism… This speed is not to say unprecedented, but it’s definitely shocking. ’

Gillan couldn't help but think to herself.

He clenched his fists, feeling his own surging power, and the anxiety in his heart was slightly relieved.

Click.

After taking out the "Alchemy Hotline" and plugging in the mercury battery, Gillan dialed the number.

Through investigation at the Macmillan Energy Plant, he discovered that there seemed to be several hidden forces in Late Autumn Town, so he planned to use the power of "Midnight Rose" to confirm it.

After a burst of beautiful piano music, the old man who made the staff answered the phone at the other end of the "hotline".

"Hey, Blood Owl, what's wrong so late?"

"Sorry to bother you," Gillan said softly. "Old sir, are you still in Muse City?"

"Well, I'm still working on a new anti-miasma medicine here... Parra is still as motivated as ever once she has an idea."

"You said he is a three-hundred-year-old guy. How come he has more energy than young people when doing things... I have been so exhausted these past few days that I can't even take a break."

Gilan laughed awkwardly, not daring to criticize Chairman Pala like the old man who made the staff.

So he changed the topic and said:

"By the way, old gentleman, I am currently on official duty in Shenqiu Town in the south. I would like to know the information here. Can I borrow the power within the secret sect?"

"Late Qiu Town..." The old staff maker pondered for a moment. "You mean that side of Blood Harbor, right?"

"That's right."

"Well... the Secret Cult has people over there who are responsible for purchasing some special mysterious materials, but it's not convenient to reveal the specific details."

The old man making the stick said solemnly.

"It's not that I don't trust you, but because your level is not high enough. This is something only formal members know."

Hearing this, Jilan frowned slightly.

He thought for a moment and said bluntly:

"Old sir, I have just completed the leap and successfully promoted to the fourth level of 'Plenty'... I wonder if I can now become a full member of the 'Midnight Rose' from the 'Brambles'?"

"Huh?!" The old man making the staff was surprised. "Blood Owl, you... have you been promoted to the Jiujiushi?!"

"Yes."

"Are you kidding?!"

The old gentleman's tone suddenly rose, and his originally somewhat lazy attitude instantly became extremely serious.

"No kidding." Gillan smiled.

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds.

"Okay! Okay, okay!" The old man who made the staff said in a surprised tone, sighing repeatedly. "I have witnessed the birth of a genius with my own eyes!"

"I dare to swear on Si Chen's name that in more than a hundred years of my life, I have never seen a genius as gifted as you... How long ago did you become a long-time master? Incredible! It's incredible!"

After some excited approval, the old staff-maker finally remembered Gilan's inquiry.

He chuckled and said:

"'Midnight Rose' has adopted an internal recommendation system since its establishment. Even if you are member No. 001 of the reserve 'Thorns', you cannot avoid it."

"But you don't have to worry at all. I will definitely be the one recommended by the two official members. For the other person, if you ask Parra or Ms. Crow, you will definitely not be rejected."

"Thank you." Gillan said.

"You're welcome, Blood Owl." The old man who made the staff was in a good mood and gradually became more talkative. "My real name is Yunisky Gadri, you can call me by my name from now on."

"Okay, Mr. Yunisky."

Gillan laughed.

He knew in his heart that this was a change in status brought about by his improvement in strength. Otherwise, it is impossible for a long-standing person like the old man who made the stick to take the initiative to tell his real name.

The other party seemed to have treated him as an equal.

"The formalization process still requires reporting to the leader 'Mei Weng', but don't worry, there will be no problems... I think back then, Parra was the unwavering leader of the secret cult, and he voluntarily gave up this position."

"With this friendship and Pala's connections in the Tantric Cult, it will be very smooth for you to become a formal member."

"But it may take some time to wait, because for every formal member joining, the Tantric Cult will hold a grand banquet."

"Okay, I understand." Gillan said.

"Then let's get back to the topic."

Yoniski laughed.

"At the Blood Port, 'Mr. Medicine Bottle' was originally responsible for purchasing 'Red Whale Blood' and 'Blood Sea Creatures' for the research of some secret medicines."

"But because of the miasma outbreak, Mr. Pill Bottle has left the Blood Harbor."

"As far as I know, the local forces are complex. Behind the Blood Harbor gang, there should be a research team from the Owena Federation, called 'Golden Force No. 7'."

"This group was well hidden, and Mr. Pill Bottle had never met them face to face at that time."

"When you perform official duties in Late Autumn Town, you need to be careful of the council there. I'm afraid they have been bribed by the Blood Harbor gang."

Jilan held the microphone and narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the situation in Late Autumn Town is somewhat similar to that in Bosylvia, as it has also been infiltrated by hostile forces.

But it looks calmer here.

The so-called "Golden Troop No. 7" just wanted to use the excellent geographical location of Blood Harbor to conduct some kind of occult experiment on the "Autumn Shang Parasite".

Or perhaps, there is a deeper plan.

After hearing the information from Mr. Yunisky, Gilan finally knew that the two forces recorded in the original diary represented the "Midnight Rose" and the "Golden Troop No. 7" respectively.

After figuring this out, Gillan also became more vigilant about the Blood Harbor gang.

"Do you need support from the Tantric Cult?"

Yuniski asked kindly again.

"Is that okay?" Ji Lan raised his eyebrows. "Is this also a benefit for formal members?"

"Haha, of course."

The old gentleman replied in the affirmative.

"However, if you want assistance from a formal member, you need to follow the principle of equal exchange and pay due remuneration... But if you are a reserve member of the 'Thorns', you don't have to pay, the secret sect will bear it for you."

"Except for you, the 'Thorns' have now recruited 6 members. If necessary, I can notify a few of them to help you."

"It can be regarded as giving them a chance to experience. Follow you, member No. 001, and gain a lot of experience."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Yunisky."

Ji Lan hummed and agreed to the other party's suggestion.
