Chapter 1431 Tools Targeting Fate
Lin Yu wasn't particularly interested in the "Immovable as a Mountain" and "Indestructible Shield" that Ren-ou had just demonstrated.
While he had some ideas about the [Primordial Flame], besides its ability to work with the [Sage Emblem], a large part of his interest stemmed from the fact that it seemed to have some intricate connection with the Lord of the Abyss and the Sword of Judgment. Therefore, Lin Yu also had the idea of obtaining it to study.
But ultimately, he wasn't particularly keen on getting it.
But Lin Yu really wanted this [Universal Adaptive Defense Combat Gear].
Although most of the "players" knew that this [item] was also valuable and had a significant effect, after being bombarded with introductions of the previous three exceptionally overpowered [items], they were not as amazed by this [Universal Adaptive Defense Armor].
After all, while this battle suit is powerful, it is somewhat "mediocre" compared to the other three.
It simply absorbs energy and generates a shield... While this kind of "item" is rare and powerful, it's not particularly unique.
Neither the numerical values nor the mechanics sound as powerful as the previous [item]'s 70% damage reduction, indestructibility, near-infinite energy, and self-repair capabilities.
Even the current discussion isn't entirely about the "prop" itself.
"It's from the 'Wasteland Realm'..."
"As expected of a 'Tier 4' expert, the four [items] come from at least three different worlds—even the style of that shield could be from four different worlds!"
"And didn't you guys notice? All four of these [items] are for saving lives!"
"Lord Niou is truly thoughtful... Giving this to the new guild leader would probably maximize his survivability!"
"But doesn't Lord Niou himself need these [items]?"
"This shows that although Lord Renwang's [items] are valuable, they are not that crucial for a 'fourth-tier' expert like him!"
"Indeed... It feels like a fourth-tier expert doesn't need so many ways to protect himself."
Everyone was talking at once, but Lin Yu shook his head.
These guys are really amateurs... They don't understand the most valuable aspect of the fourth item that Nioh brought out, the Universal Adaptive Defense Armor.
Niou had even emphasized it himself, but they still didn't notice...
This [Universal Adaptive Defense Armor] has a database that even Nioh himself claims is "vast," recording attack data from various ability systems across the ten realms!
The [Universal Adaptive Defense Armor] can generate targeted and intelligent energy shields based on different attacks.
They were completely unaware that... they could use reverse analysis to obtain the attack methods and energy fluctuation characteristics recorded in the database by analyzing the corresponding shields!
In other words, this thing is like an encyclopedia of attack methods from various systems across the ten realms, and it also has a database of energy fluctuation samples that can be directly reproduced!
of course……
After calming down, Lin Yu realized that this advanced technique wasn't actually that useful for ordinary 'players'.
But what if it fell into my hands...
With the [Sage Emblem], wouldn't my success rate in impersonating any faction in any of the Ten Realms be greatly increased?
If Lin Yu were to go to the Pure Ruins Realm now and claim to be an ancient scholar, perhaps no one would believe him. But what if he could create some energy fluctuations that resembled Pure Ruins magic?
Same reason...
The witchcraft of the Black Swamp, the Taoist arts of the Prison Mountain, the alchemy of the Wasteland...
Lin Yu could recreate any school of martial arts recorded in the book.
Therefore, looking at this [Universal Adaptive Defense Combat Gear], even though he wasn't a "candidate," Lin Yu couldn't help but start making calculations in his mind.
"This [item] has greatly improved my abilities. If possible... I need to find a way to get my hands on it."
“A safer approach would be to collaborate with the candidates… to use the identity of ‘Yan Guang’ to get close to ‘Xi Chen’ and ‘Mi Gan’… Hmm, ‘Mi Gan’ might have an even better plan.”
"For 'Shang Gen,' you can just contact him through the 'Director'... It was even mentioned before that I could choose one of 'Nioh''s [items]."
"Or... just let 'Monica' be elected, and then use 'Order' to kill 'Monica' and steal the 'Item' before she gets it?"
"Or perhaps we could wait until the 'Raiders,' 'Psychological Society,' and 'Freedom Alliance' make their move, and things get chaotic, then see if we can fish in troubled waters... I can roughly guess what kind of [item] the 'Freedom Alliance' wants; they probably want 'Immovable Mountain' to strengthen 'Mountaineer's' defenses. So I could even use 'Zhu Ming's' identity to ask for this combat suit and see if they could get it for me. The downside is that this [item] will be inextricably linked to 'Zhu Ming'..."
"Hmm... However, we also need to consider what kind of [item] the 'Raiders' want. We need to find out from 'Ayu'—it would be best if it doesn't conflict with what I want."
Lin Yu kept thinking about various solutions and sorting out the current situation based on these [props].
Meanwhile, Niou, standing on the stage, took out the fifth and final item as a reward.
The moment Niou took out the last [item], Lin Yu narrowed his eyes...
"Could this be the item that the 'Raiders' need?"
On the main display stand, Niou held a rough wooden doll statue in his hand. It was only the size of a palm and had some dark red lacquer lines painted on it, extending along the grain of the wood as if they were wrapped around and parasitizing the doll.
"This is the fifth [item] I'm giving you... its name is [Cause and Effect Substitute].
"This [item] comes from the Prison Mountain Realm. It is an unorthodox magical artifact from before the 'Chaos of Bewilderment' in the Prison Mountain Realm."
"Its effect is... to transfer your 'cause and effect' to this puppet, which has a passive effect that can block all calculations and spying on you. All disturbances to your fate and fortune will be nullified. At the same time, if you activate it actively, it can also completely transfer the 'calamity' you will suffer next, including attacks, curses, and negative effects. The cooldown time is once per return and entry into the 'Dungeon'."
Niou shook the doll, then hung it up as well.
Lin Yu looked at the doll with a solemn expression.
He was 99% certain that... this doll was most likely the [item] that the 'Raiders' most wanted to obtain.
Although the Raiders' plan is to steal all the [items], this [item] is probably the most important one.
The reason is simple... because this [tool] is far too restrictive and limiting to the abilities of the 'diviner'!
The "fortune teller" possesses fragments of destiny, and his methods clearly demonstrate that he has many abilities related to fate and cause and effect.
This "cause and effect substitution" technique allows one to isolate and eliminate the effects of such methods, transferring those effects onto the puppet...
Even if there's a limit to how much can be transferred, it would still be a troublesome matter for a 'fortune teller'.
It was one thing for this item to be in the hands of Niou, after all, Niou was ranked ninth among the fourth-tier players, and from the item he gave, it was clear that this guy was a player who was extremely good at defense and had extremely strong vitality.
Even a Grandmaster would have a headache if they wanted to take down Nioh.
On the forum, players refer to those who like to hoard defensive and recovery items and are keen on improving their health, adaptability, defense, and recovery abilities as "turtle style" players—because the players of "death game" are all people who value their lives, and this "turtle style" even has a considerable number of players.
This "Nioh" is probably the pinnacle of the Turtle Style, the King of Turtles—and with a turtle reaching this level of strength, calling him the "Genbu Style" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Therefore, among 'Tier 4' players, 'Nioh's' 'defense' is definitely excessive.
For the "fortune teller," the fact that "Nioh" possesses the "Cause and Effect Substitute Body" is somewhat troublesome, but acceptable to him.
but……
From the perspective of the 'diviner', he probably absolutely cannot accept this 'item' falling into the hands of other 'players' besides 'Nioh'.
The fact that the new president of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" possesses this [item] means that if the "Fortune Teller" wants to do anything to the new president, the cost of taking action has greatly increased.
But if the worst-case scenario occurs... this [tool] falls into the hands of a 'God of Wine', a 'Knight-errant', a 'Bifang', a 'Tengshe', a 'Feng Shui Master', or even a 'Grandmaster'...
If Lin Yu put himself in their shoes, he would agree that this was something a 'fortune teller' absolutely could not accept.
of course……
Actually, it wasn't that difficult for Lin Yu to put himself in someone else's shoes.
After all, it's not just fortune tellers who rely heavily on methods related to "fate" and "cause and effect."
Lin Yu, who also possessed a Fragment of Destiny, or even two Fragments of Destiny, did not want this thing to fall into the hands of others!
Although Zhu Qiansi is currently on vacation, it is undeniable that... the "Causal Silk Divine Power" is incredibly useful.
If someone could be immune to the "Causal Threads" supernatural power, Lin Yuguang would find it extremely troublesome.
"So... I have to find a way to get my hands on this too."
"Compared to the [Universal Adaptive Defense Armor], this [Causal Substitute Body] is probably a higher priority for me..."
After all, the [Universal Adaptive Defense Armor] only gives him more options when disguising himself, but the [Cause and Effect Substitute Body] ends up in someone else's hands, which makes Lin Yu lose a trump card for no reason.
At the same time, obtaining this [item] will also give Lin Yu an extra specialized trump card to use against the 'diviner'.
With this back and forth, the [Cause and Effect Substitute Body] is already worth two trump cards, so Lin Yu naturally can't just let it go!
"But on the other hand... I might have to compete head-on with the 'Raiders' for this."
