Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 390 An Extra-Long User Manual: Going Home
It was already 2 a.m. when I got back to the hotel.

The final performance was completed, and the four-part journey came to an end, all of which were worth celebrating. After cleaning up the venue at the Chinese Grand Theatre, although it was already late, everyone still rushed off to celebrate.

After working at such a high intensity for so long, it's time to relax.

Some people suggested checking out the strip clubs in Los Angeles, or those shady clubs, but Zhai Da stopped them all.

It wasn't just because there were quite a few women in the production team (in fact, some girls were also eager to try), but also because there were simply too many people to manage.

Dozens of people were scattered in those dark, chaotic, and unfamiliar scenes. Someone was stabbed by Xiao Hei in the toilet, and people outside were still shaking him!

Finally, we found a 24-hour restaurant and celebrated with all thirty-odd of us.

It was 2 a.m. when he returned to the hotel with seven or eight drunk people.

Zhai Da rubbed his temples wearily. He hadn't drunk much, but he was indeed tired. If he stayed up a little longer, he would be able to see the helicopter at four in the morning.

He threw himself onto the bed, but instead of falling directly due to gravity, his body floated slightly and descended slowly.

Finally, he remained ten centimeters from the bed for a second, as if he were possessed by a ghost in a movie, before finally landing on the bed.

Zhai Da stretched comfortably, thinking to himself that it wasn't any more comfortable than just getting out of bed; it was just for fun.
It's just a toy, but if you use it at home in the middle of the night, it might scare the little guy half to death.

Zhai Da rested his head on his arm and leisurely opened the system in his mind, entering the "Set Interface".

The number of believers has changed to 10903, and the first of the three empty slots below the "Miracle Believer" ability has been filled with the words "Close-up Magic: Telekinesis" and can be clicked.

Although they had secretly studied it during the celebration, the complexity of its content still required even top students to ponder it repeatedly.

Yes, clicking on it leads to a capability manual.

It originates from the "average" of all "believers'" perceptions, and is dynamically monitored, changing at all times.

Everything about strength, rules, and effects is defined by it, which results in its absurdly long length!
In the system space, a long instruction manual appeared; Zhai Da had never seen so much text in the system before.
"Mind control"

"It can control substances up to 88.19 kg, with a maximum quantity of 54. The maximum precise control distance is 2.16 meters, the maximum extreme distance is 23.62 meters, and the maximum speed is 78.38 meters per second."

Yes, it includes both whole and fractional parts, accurate to two decimal places.

When it first started a few hours ago, all the data were a little lower, such as the controllable weight being around 80KG. Zhai Da guessed that people were using their own weight as a reference, such as twice their own weight. Then it gradually increased, probably because it evolved during the spread and discussion.

Other data is similar, fluctuating but showing a steady upward trend.

After all, rumors always get more and more outrageous as they spread.
This is just the most basic one; there are many other miscellaneous things, some of which Zhai Da never even demonstrated and were purely imagined by his followers.

"Using telekinesis consumes mental energy. It cannot be used continuously for more than 2.02 hours, or at high frequencies for 4.45 hours. Exceeding these limits will result in extreme fatigue. Continued forced use will cause nosebleeds, and prolonged use beyond the limits will lead to unconsciousness."

This is clearly a rationalization and limitation in the minds of the "believers." They may not have a clear concept of numbers, but it is averaged and statistically transformed into rules in the feedback of the system.

Of course, these limitations are not insurmountable. As information spreads and the content continues to be embellished, the data will continue to rise, and Zhai Da can also revise it through further performances.

But for now, it's enough.

In terms of the overall style of the instruction manual, effects and limitations seem to go hand in hand; every good description is inevitably followed by a limitation.

such as:

“Mind control can affect the human body and oneself, but it cannot affect internal organs.”

"It can walk on water, but it cannot fly."

"It can lift its own body and float, with a maximum height of 0.47 meters and a maximum speed of 7.78 meters per second, but it cannot turn smoothly."

"It can affect micron-level precision, but it cannot directly detect substances at this level and requires additional auxiliary sensing."

"When controlling water droplets, there is no upper limit to the maximum number, and it is only affected by the mass and range, but the duration must not exceed 1 minute."

This clearly comes from the magic content of the first game.

Oh, and there's another very important way to save your life:

"It can stop bullets, including bullets that will stop in front of you even when you are unconscious, but it cannot stop kinetic weapons with the energy of artillery shells or more."

"You can rely on yourself to become immune to falling from a great height, but you will still be affected by temperature and atmospheric oxygen content if you go too high."

It's quite lengthy, and includes some obscure rules that Zhai Da could never have imagined:
"Radioactive substances and thunderstorms can interfere with telekinesis."

"Exhaustion, hunger, weakness, and fear can weaken the ability to control objects with one's will."

And: "Unable to control objects with one's mind and reach orgasm out of thin air."

Zhai Da:
Thank you so much! I never even thought of using it that way!
Am I the kind of person who needs superpowers to find happiness? You can't even imagine how happy I am!

Lying on the soft bed, Zhai Da looked at the fluctuating numbers and decided to stop paying attention to them for the time being.

There's really no need to keep an eye on such a complex and constantly changing "instruction manual." Just check it every now and then, and in most cases, it won't exceed any of the limitations.

It will not be used too blatantly.

For example, this room was already scanned with the [Pure Gold Secret Cane], there are no cameras there.
So, you can be a little arrogant.

His body slowly floated up, as if some invisible substance was supporting him as he sat up, hovering about an inch above the bed.

Zhai Da gripped a non-existent steering wheel, his right hand clicking and shifting gears in mid-air.

He drove a non-existent "car" to the bathroom to take a shower!

This is the most enjoyable way to use this ability!

The next morning, the production team began preparations for their return trip. During the day, everyone participated in group activities to experience the local customs and culture of Los Angeles.

I took a picture of the Hollywood sign on the hilltop.

Looking down from the observatory at the endless wooden houses.

Enjoy the freedom to dress or not dress on the beach.

The whole day was very fulfilling.

Zhai Da also stopped by the antique shop on the way. The female owner, whose loan seemed to be secured, looked much more relaxed, but there was a strange sour smell in the shop.

Zhai Da searched more carefully and confirmed that there were no other special items, but he bought a small pendant as a gift for Xiao Mutou to take back.

After going out for a while, you can't go back empty-handed, nor can you go back empty-handed.

As night fell, the group, filled with fond memories and exhaustion, boarded a flight back to Beijing from the airport.

It was still a large, massage chair-like business seat. Zhai Da was half-reclining, flipping through a paper in his hand.

He used to read papers, but mostly on a computer. This trip was inconvenient, so he actually came to like the feel of reading printed papers, finding them more comfortable for his eyes compared to a screen.

Lu Siwen, who was sitting in the row, was already fast asleep, or rather, most people were extremely tired after a whole day of playing around, and the two directors behind her were already snoring.

After sitting for more than ten hours, you land at noon. Sleeping the whole way would make it easier to adjust to the time difference.

Immersed in the ocean of knowledge, the boy who once choked on water is now drinking it down in big gulps. Suddenly, the plane begins to shake violently, bouncing up and down like a roller coaster.

In the past, Zhai Da would feel a little panicked when he encountered this situation, experiencing both the psychological reaction of weightlessness and the sense of powerlessness as an airplane passenger.

Unlike cars, airplanes offer no room for maneuver. Although airplanes are far safer than cars, they don't give you any chance if something really happens.

This time, however, Zhai Da only glanced at the emergency exit door.

In fact, if he had actually discovered that the plane had crashed, being trapped inside would have been more dangerous for him; an explosion would have taken him down. But if he jumped out, he wouldn't have died from the fall.

I hope I'll never need this skill in my lifetime.

It can also stop bullets.
I think I'm becoming a bit harder to kill now.
The following day at noon, the plane landed at Beijing North International Airport amidst turbulence.

The journey, which lasted more than ten hours, was uneventful. After half a month, the group finally returned to this land.

Zhai Da looked at the scene outside the window and felt it was quite magical.

Even though I didn't see any landmarks and wasn't familiar with the airport runways, I could still tell that this was China.

It's hard to say why, perhaps it was the atmosphere in the air, or perhaps it was the attraction of blood in the body.

The moment you land, you feel a sense of peace and comfort.

At least we no longer have to worry about some black or white guy suddenly pulling out a gun.

However, this sense of relief did not last long. When Zhai Da turned on his phone and connected to the signal, he was stunned.

He received seven or eight text messages in a row, all reminding him that he had missed calls.

They all originated from one number.

Teacher's wife.
