My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 36 Compensation
Jiang Xinghuo chose to forgive the coroner, and relevant content immediately popped up in the game text.

"You forgave the coroner's mistake."

"The coroner is very grateful. If it weren't for his mistake, your life wouldn't have been lost. He decided to give you some compensation."

"You can choose three gifts from the following options."

"Taunting Tongue (Excellent Organ), after being fused with one's own organs, one can gain the ability to call the dead, communicate with the dead's spirits, and learn about their lives. Special effect: Increase one's affinity with the supernatural."

"Coroner's General Observation Eye Recognition (Excellent Organ), a joint work of the Coroner and the General. After being integrated with one's own organs, it can identify the tissue morphology and structure of various organs in the human body. Special effect: slightly increases mental resistance."

"The Mask of the Ancient God (Excellent Item). It is said that this mask was made by an ancient god himself. Wearing this mask can make one immune to most mental attacks. However, one's own mental power can also be easily contaminated by the ancient god, and one will become the ancient god's follower in the secular world, without any freedom."

"A feather of an unknown creature (???), which was found by Mr. Dati by chance. It is red like a flame, and the flames are flowing and last for a long time. Before leaving, he gave it to the coroner. Wherever the flames are covered, all evil will not invade."

"Lightning Arrow (Excellent Technique), a lightning control technique that is popular in the Western Land. It can condense the mana in the body into an energy arrow. It also has a silver lightning with a paralyzing effect. It has a strong restraining effect on the undead, and can automatically lock onto the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to dodge."

"Hand of Deception (rare item), the work of the Western Godcrafter Clan. It is said to be made from the skin of an ancient god, but through some unknown method, the polluted properties on it have been purified. It can violate the laws of the world and plunder the recovered heritage relics for oneself, but the success rate is only 30%."

"Heavenly Secret Star-pulling Technique (rare technique), the technique of the Qing Nang Gong lineage. Those who practice this technique are born to be great navigators. They have an intuitive grasp of magnetic fields, ocean currents, wind direction, and stars. They will never get lost on the sea. Their calculation ability, memory, and control of distance will also be greatly enhanced."

Looking at the text popping up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo thought he was going to make a fortune this time.

If he could enter the game world and communicate with the coroner face to face, he might even be tempted to kill people and steal treasures, because the reward is too tempting.

But unfortunately, according to the rules of the game, he can only choose three from these seven options for his own use.

But Jiang Xinghuo knew it very well in his heart.

Although these things are good, they have to be useful to you. The higher the quality, the better.

He first ruled out the art of celestial astrology and the masks of the ancient gods.

The former of these two things has too many limitations, and the latter is too harmful, so they are useless in your hands. If you exclude these two things, choosing three out of the remaining five will be much simpler.

Soon, Jiang Xinghuo made his decision.

"You have obtained the Thunderbolt Arrow."

"You have acquired the Hand of Deception."

"You gain taunt..."

"Activate your Tathagatagarbha talent."

"Your choice is interrupted..."

"You chose the feather of an unknown creature."

The choice that had been made was suddenly interrupted, which surprised Jiang Xinghuo very much, because such a thing had never happened before.

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"You have discovered the secret behind the 'unknown creature's feather'."

"Phoenix Feather (Legendary consumable item), a feather dropped from the phoenix. After death, it can be reborn in flames. It is also effective in the real world and is not bound by anything. Even the law of time cannot reverse it." Seeing the new text pop up, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

After death, you can be reborn in flames. In the game, it is just a life, similar to props such as scapegoats and dog food.

But the text is very clear, and it can also take effect in the real world, that's a real life!!
The scapegoat and dog food do not have this ability, they can only be used in the game world.

But this 'Phoenix Feather' is different. If it is used in the game world, it would be a waste of such a miraculous item. Only when it is used in reality can its maximum value be brought into play.

"You have obtained the Phoenix Feather."

Choose three out of seven. Jiang Xinghuo chose three of the seven compensation gifts given by the coroner, and this plot line ended temporarily.

If you want to continue the game, you can only wait another four hours and go online after the physical penalty is over.

Jiang Xinghuo sat on the sofa and began to count today's harvest.

He first clicked on the text and took out the Phoenix Feather. A slender tail feather appeared in the palm of his hand, somewhat similar to a peacock's feather, but it was red all over, with flames floating around, as if there was a flow of light. Although the breath was scorching, it did not cause any damage to his skin.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at it carefully and didn't find anything special. He thought it would only work when someone died.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo decided to carry this phoenix feather with him in the future. What if he put it into the magic bag and it didn't work?
Moreover, the abilities in the folk world are all kinds of strange. Since there is an ability like the Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds that is not restricted by storage items, there must be other skills or talents that can do this. If it is taken away by others, you will suffer a great loss.

Jiang Xinghuo put the Phoenix Feather aside, then clicked on the text to take out the Lightning Arrow.

A purple scroll surrounded by electric light appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the game also popped up relevant information.

"Do you want to learn 'Thunder Arrow'?"

Jiang Xinghuo would definitely choose yes.

The next moment, the scroll shattered instantly and turned into lightning that poured into Jiang Xinghuo's body. A complicated and tongue-twisting spell also appeared in Jiang Xinghuo's mind.

"..."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly and recited the difficult spell in his mind. He felt a tingling sensation in the palm of his left hand, and an energy arrow wrapped in silver-white electric light immediately condensed on his palm.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo used the Small Five Thunder Technique, and a light blue lightning disk hovered in the palm of his right hand.

The advantage of the lightning arrow is its high speed. It can automatically track the enemy and paralyze the enemy. Its lethality is relatively poor.

Although the Small Five Thunder Technique is extremely powerful, it only directly fires at the ground within a fixed range. Once you escape the range of the lightning, you will no longer pose a threat.

Both have pros and cons.

The best tactical method is to remotely control the lightning arrows and then use the small five thunder techniques to harvest heads.

Jiang Xinghuo withdrew his magic power, looked at the arrows and lightning that disappeared automatically, and nodded with satisfaction. With these two skills working together, he would be able to deal with any opponent with ease in the future.
