Chapter 533 Artifact
The 【Reset】quest rewarded a random item and a skill scroll. This time, there's no need for a bath or incense ceremony; just rub your hands together and click to open the skill box.

A flash of bright light revealed a scroll lying inside the treasure chest.

[Skill Scroll Name: Highlight Moment]

【Attribute: Consumable (Limited to twenty uses)】

[Type: General]

【Usage Method: Active】

[Quality: perfect]

[Special Effect: Protagonist Aura. After preparation, certain words and actions are taken. If these actions conform to the current worldview's definition of "cool," "cool," "handsome," or "prestigious," one or more special effects will be temporarily applied.]

[Cost: 50 Spirit Points]

[Cooling time: None]

[Usage Requirements: Level 5 or higher]

[Note: The protagonist's aura effects include, but are not limited to: objects behind you suddenly exploding, with shrapnel not harming you; a temporary drop in the intelligence attribute of hostile targets; 100% evasion of low-level unit stray bullets; surviving smoke without injury and falling off a cliff; increased luck and gambling winning probability; continuing to move despite being severely injured, breaking through physiological limitations; temporarily increasing the favorability of opposite-sex targets and attracting hatred from same-sex targets without reason; and increasing the probability of persuasion through verbal attacks.]

[Note: If, after careful preparation, you fail to produce any words or actions that elevate your image, or if your words or actions are extremely awkward to those around you, you will not receive the protagonist's halo and will be subjected to several hours of bad luck.]

[Note: Retaining certain hairstyles (such as bald head, spiky hair, side-swept bangs, white hair) and wearing certain accessories (sunglasses, suit, trench coat, high school uniform, magical girl uniform) can increase the probability of summoning the protagonist's aura.]

[Note: "On the day I return to the world, all traitors shall die." "I will not let the sky obscure my vision, nor will I let the earth bury my heart." "I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I shall slay all enemies." "Three million celestial sword immortals, all must bow before me." "Already corrupted (age 8)."]

[Note: Okay guys, all eyes on me! Look at me, look at me! I have an announcement to make: I'm a paratrooper!]

Well.
Li Sheng's eyelids twitched violently. He took out a scroll from the treasure chest, his expression quite pained.

Although it's a perfect quality consumable scroll, it's a bit inferior to epic quality and learning scrolls, but it has the advantage of being plentiful and usable a full 20 times, which is close to the concept of rules.

The cooldown time is also very short, and you can even deliver a few cool and awesome lines like a radio calisthenics before the battle to apply all the buffs to yourself.

There were no restrictions on skill scrolls, so Li Sheng put them directly into his inventory and then looked at the random items in another treasure chest.

It was a book with a green cover.

【Item Name: The Book of Plague and Impurity】

[Type: Divine Artifact]

[Quality: Epic]

[Special Effect 1: Universal Plague. The Book of Plague will self-reproduce, recording all diseases known to the user and storing them within the book. It is effective against all species. It takes effect passively.]

[Special Effect 2: Sharing Weal and Woe. Select a directory and randomly navigate to a page, spreading the disease effect to a designated area and yourself. The disease will not be fatal. Consuming more spiritual energy can shrink the directory's range.]

[Effect 2 Cost: Depends on disease type, range, and number of targets]

[Effect 2 Cooldown: 5 seconds]

[Usage Requirements: The user must have previously suffered from one thousand different diseases simultaneously]

[Note: Diseases inflicted through the "Sharing Joys and Sorrows" skill will heal naturally over time. The specific healing depends on the recipient's constitution and the disease's compatibility. Infectious diseases will continue to spread to other susceptible living beings after the skill ends; at this point, the disease loses its mystique.]

[Note: Consumes double spiritual power. You can choose to use "Shared Weal and Woe" only on other living beings, but it will deal direct damage of the same level to yourself.]

[Note: All things decay, but all living beings are immortal.] Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap?!
Li Sheng's eyes widened. Even though he had seen many big scenes, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the description of the items in the Book of Plague and Impurity.

On a whim, the book appeared in the backpack compartment. It was over seven hundred pages thick, hardcover, with an extremely intricate and ornate pattern on its green cover decorated with gilded gold.

It resembles both garden plants and some kind of incomprehensible alien script.

Li Sheng dared not handle it himself, so he quickly went into the automated warehouse, put on a full set of airtight protective clothing, entered the sterile room, and took out the "Book of Infectious Diseases" from the sterile room.

The book is quite heavy, weighing about 20 kilograms, much heavier than the number of pages it appears to have.

Upon opening it, the title page contained no information about publication, printing, or edition; instead, it featured the skull of a deer entwined with thorny vines.

Vines cascaded down from the deer's antlers, submerged in the swamp of flesh and blood. Beneath the surface lurked some enormous shadow.

The eerie images are so unsettling that they give you a headache and send chills down your spine if you look at them too long.

Turning to the title page, the book's table of contents is surprisingly concise and scientific. The coding style is similar to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) established by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Chapter One: Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. This chapter alone contains thousands of entries, recording diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, hepatitis, and malaria.

Each one contains detailed information about all aspects of the disease, including its cause, clinical characteristics, location, and severity.

Chapter Two: Tumors; Chapter Three: Blood and Hematopoietic Organs; Chapter Four: Endocrine, Nutritional, and Metabolic Diseases; Chapter Five: Mental and Behavioral Disorders.
Li Sheng carefully turned the pages of the book. Just as described, the book of plagues and uncleanliness not only recorded human diseases, but also those of animals, plants, and even supernatural creatures.

Chapter Seven deals with eye diseases, including a disease of the lacrimal apparatus. Some mermaids and sirens, due to prolonged crying after losing their loved ones, develop pearly penile ecchymosis.

Chapter Twelve: Skin Diseases. Some Western dragons, having spent long periods lying motionless in their nests filled with gold and jewels, developed scale hyperplasia or scale fungus.

Compared to human diseases, there are far fewer records of symptoms associated with supernatural beings. Thinking of something, Li Sheng immediately took out his laptop and searched the forum using the keywords "script world" and "disease" to read the posts.

As he viewed the post, the table of contents of the "Plague and Impurity Book" blurred and automatically expanded, but the total number of pages remained at 777. Turning the pages, the pages seemed endless, with no end in sight.

boom.

Li Sheng slammed the book shut, his mind racing.

The potential of the Plague Impure Book is no less than that of the Yin-Yang Sword, the Compassionate Soul-Giving Gloves, and the Eight Trigrams Magic Cannon; it can be used for both offense and defense.

During intense combat, it can continuously apply disease curses with a 5-second cooldown.

If a player is randomly diagnosed with visual impairment, spinal stress fracture, angina, or other conditions, it can directly and significantly weaken the enemy's combat power.

Even if you don't randomly get these serious illnesses, getting something like strabismus, schizophrenia, or itching can still disgust the other person.

Considering that Li Sheng's immunity would surge after activating his insect form, he could even live as long as the other party without consuming double the spiritual power, while simultaneously suffering from diarrhea.

Taking advantage of its superior physique and having already put on a diaper, it continued its rampage while taunting, "You're here to poop too, right?" Utterly cunning.

In their spare time outside of battle, they can also conduct experiments with the Book of Plague and Impurity, randomly generating diseases such as zombie viruses based on the number of attempts. According to the description, infectious diseases will lose their mystery after the skill ends and continue to infect other living beings that can be infected.

It can be described as the most biological weapon of all.

During the Battle of London, if Li Sheng had possessed this unclean book, he wouldn't even need the virus to bring rain; he could have corrupted an entire city on his own.

"No wonder it's considered a divine artifact. If it's not used cautiously and strictly regulated, it could very well breed a highly contagious and deadly disease that indiscriminately infects humans, animals, and plants, causing a mass extinction."

Just as Li Sheng was gazing at the unclean book in deep thought, the lights came on outside the sterile isolation room, and the intelligent core of the toy factory floated over leisurely. "Respected factory owner, you may need to take a look at this."
