Chapter 353 Equipment that Requires Courage and Determination

Although he was very interested in the [implant] that the other party mentioned, he also realized that this [implant] must be worth a lot of money if the other party could single it out.

But Fang Yi did not directly express much interest.

After several exchanges, I learned about the monster's cunning mind and its slightly immature but effective rhetoric for most people.

After learning about the origin of the other party's [Saint's remains].

He realized one thing:

The "mutually beneficial symbiosis" that this monster talks about is probably not as simple as it seems.

If you do exactly what the other party says, you will probably be completely ruined like the reincarnationist you killed.

After this monster revealed its good intelligence, Fang Yi always suspected that this monster had contributed to Cheng Xiang's death.

[Let's first use this to test this 'monster' a little.]

Fang Yi was ready to infer the intentions of this "monster" based on the other party's reaction and assess the degree of harm it posed.

Control the risk within an acceptable range, maximize the benefits, and kill the opponent.
-
Having made up his mind, Fang Yi first frowned and acted hesitantly.

Then, he showed his right hand with regret, rolled up his sleeves and activated his magic power, causing the [Magic Mark] on his wrist to begin to glow.

He showed his implant to the 'monster' and told a 'lie'.

"What you said is not very credible and contradicts what I have learned.

"Although I don't know much about [Implant Modification], thanks to a friend who is in the [Implant] business, I also know a little bit of [Alchemy Knowledge].

"I know that the rate of 'digestion' of an implant cannot be controlled.

"And before the first [implant] is completely digested, inserting a second [implant] will come at a terrible price."

Fang Yi shook his head in distress as he spoke.

He pretended to have a vague understanding of [Alchemy·Body Transformation] and made a judgment.

"So what you said about accelerating 'digestion' of the implant is probably a lie to deceive 'outsiders'.

“At the same time, I have already undergone transformation and implanted an item similar to an implant.

"This second [implant] is also pure poison to me."

After judging, Fang Yi pretended to be angry and growled at the "monster" in the glass bottle.

"You 'monster', you used the [implant] as bait to tell lies to 'trick' me.

"I'm afraid your intentions are not pure. If you don't tell the truth, I will 'isolate' you!!"

Fang Yi's half-baked and clumsy remarks, which almost showed his gullibility and interest in possible gains clearly on his face, naturally had a very good effect.

The 'monster' in the glass bottle heard Fa Fangyi's very 'amateur' and wrong remarks and threats.

He did not feel scared, but instead smiled confidently.

After Fang Yi did not threaten it but only said that he wanted to "isolate" it, the "monster" realized that Fang Yi recognized its "value".

When Fang Yi heard the 'monster's' low laugh, he first clenched the glass bottle, and then said the following words to the 'monster' viciously.

"why are you laughing?
"Are you panicking now that I've discovered your 'conspiracy'?
"I"

"My master, you have a profound misunderstanding of [Alchemy·Body Transformation]."

After noticing Fang Yi's deliberately revealed "flaw" in his limited understanding of [Alchemy], the "monster" was obviously relieved.

He began to fool Fang Yi boldly.

"Master, in addition to my profound mastery of [Alien Limb Rejoining], I also have some mastery of [Implant Fusion].

"These two skills, combined with some of my unique characteristics, have evolved into a rather magical and special [Skill Branch]."

The talking 'monster' flowed in the glass bottle for a while, and then spit out a silvery-white 'porcelain piece' about the size of a fingernail from the bottle mouth.

He once again threw a handful of bait under Fang Yi's fishing rod and made a nest.

“As long as you and I can live in a mutually beneficial relationship.

"At the same time, if you place items similar to these [implants] into my 'body', I can use this [skill branch] to help you quickly 'digest' it.

"Although you won't be able to see the properties of these things like you would normally when using [implants], the space will only show you the note [Affected by unknown factors, you gain xx benefits].

"But because of the mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship, you can also enjoy additional benefits."

Fang Yi did not answer immediately.

He just unscrewed the bottle cap and took the "porcelain piece" in his hand to examine it.

After spending some time doing useless work, he spoke in a deep voice.

“To me it’s a ‘contraband’ item and I ‘can’t see’ the properties.

"You describe its function."

The 'monster' was secretly delighted when he saw Fang Yi staring intently at the performance of the [implant].

[Reincarnators from different dimensions, that would be even easier to manipulate.]

It paused, whetting Fang Yi's appetite before describing the function of this [implant].

"This is what is called a 'cyborg' in the future world.

"After some improvements by alchemists and space-specific methods, it was acquired privately by Cheng Xiang.

"Its effect is also very simple. It consumes vitality and health points to resist and deflect enemy attacks."

Fang Yi, who possessed the number of the main god, also saw the properties of this somewhat special [relic] in front of his eyes.
-
【Phase crystal core energy storage cavity】

(Named by the reincarnator himself)

Equipment Category: Alchemical Items & Relics
(Some parts of this item have the [Relic] attribute, and some parts have the [Alchemical Item] attribute, so the quality and equipment effects will be displayed separately)

Equipment quality: Tier 2 epic

Relic quality: Unknown

Durability: 2024/2077
Origin: The world of 'Eternal Arasaka Towers'

Equipment Part Usage Conditions:

1. The [Spirit] attribute must be no less than 10 points, and the [Constitution] attribute must be no less than 20 points.

2. The user must possess several [injury-free] talents, traits, or skills that [improve physical adaptability] to reach the (80-point) tolerance standard required for transplantation.

(Your current tolerance is 50 points, which does not meet the tolerance required for transplantation.)
3. The user needs to have the determination to become a 'legend'.
-
Equipment effect:

Warp Shield

There are 12 energy storage chips built into the cavity made of titanium-tungsten alloy.

Each chip can absorb free energy in the environment to slowly recharge, or inject vitality to quickly recharge.

The corresponding number of layers of [lattice] will be obtained according to the amount of energy filled.

When the user is attacked and activates the item.

According to the user's physical condition, the number of [Lattice] layers will be consumed to invalidate the physical damage that the body should bear, and offset the spell damage that the body should bear.

prompt:

1. The current upper limit of [Crystals] obtained from a single charge is 12 layers.

2. The maximum number of [lattices] that can be generated within 24 hours is 24 layers.
-
Phase deflection

Can be triggered automatically or activated manually.

Upon activation, an imaginary space ripple is created that lasts for several seconds, deflecting most attacks into the subspace. Triggering this effect consumes four [Lattice] layers and a significant amount of the user's health and blood cells.

(Under the current constitution, each activation will consume 40% of the maximum health.)
caveat:

1. Losing a large amount of health and blood cells in a short period of time may cause negative effects such as fainting and decreased combat effectiveness.

2. Using [Phase Deflection] multiple times in a short period of time may damage the corresponding chip module.
-
Overload Protocol

Forcefully cleaves the crystal core structure, releasing all energy and gaining extremely strong defense for several seconds.

It can resist attacks no higher than two levels of the user, and no higher than level 3.

After use, the item will permanently lose 30% of its energy storage space.

(Can be repaired by nanorobots)
Current number of times used: 0.
-
The following are the effects of the [Relic] parts, which will only be displayed to reincarnators who meet the usage conditions.

[Legendary 'Heart']

Relic usage conditions:

1. Have the courage and determination to defy the rules. (Already satisfied)
2. Single-handedly defeated extremely large forces and extremely powerful enemies. (Satisfied)
Relic Effects:

The Eternal Legend

When the user receives fatal damage, if he has a strong will, he will negate the attack and 'pause' the physical injury to gain a certain amount of additional action time.

(This item can only be used once per world.)
If the user survives fatal damage and leaves the enemy's sight, the following effects will be granted.

1. Clear all negative effects.

2. The body's recovery speed is greatly increased.

3. Irreversible damage to the body recovers slowly.

(This effect can only be used once in a single world.)
【Determination to resist】

When the user is determined, the negative effects of charm, mental interference, rhetoric, and realm suppression will be greatly reduced.

The user's combat effectiveness will not be reduced when in a negative state.
-
【Determination at Farewell】

When the user fights alone, they will receive a moderate luck bonus, slightly increasing their reaction speed and physical endurance.

When the user fights alongside companions, the remaining companions will receive a slight increase in their abilities.

Including but not limited to reaction speed, battle situation judgment, and physical endurance.

If a companion dies, the ability gain disappears.
-
Summary:
It was carefully crafted by a reincarnation who appreciated and recognized the concept of "legend".

I want to give this prosthetic body to the "Legend" in Night City who tried to destroy the "Arasaka Tower" single-handedly.

But it failed to deliver the 'legend' to play a role in that decisive battle.

After the battle, the reincarnator had no choice but to use the undelivered equipment and the shattered remains of the "legend" to make a strange souvenir.

He was buried in a cemetery as the 'corpse' of a 'legend'.

But with the blessing of this "legend"'s slight regret, this souvenir buried in the cemetery underwent some strange changes.
-
Evaluation:

The following words were written on the smashed tombstone of this "legend":

[Turning my broken body into raging fire]
-
The following content will only be displayed to those who meet the requirements for using the [Relic]:
This souvenir was eventually discovered and resold by a 'traitor' who was unable to use the equipment.

Holding this item will increase the probability of coming into contact with the 'traitor'.

If the 'traitor' is killed, the item will undergo some changes.
-
It is obvious that this equipment is a priceless 'life-saving' equipment.

After all, life is priceless.

Fang Yi even thought that using 5 points to evaluate this [implant] was a bit conservative.

This [implant] does not occupy an equipment slot, is compatible with any enhancement system or enhancement school, and can be activated autonomously.

Compared with equipment, the value needs to be improved further.

As for Fang Yi, the vitality provided by the [Five Emperors' Coins] can quickly charge the [Fold Shield].

[Reversal Technique: Strengthening], a skill that quickly restores health and creates blood, allows him to activate [Phase Deflection] multiple times.

More importantly, the damage immunity provided by this [implant] is in the form of a 'shield' rather than health points.

For him, whose maximum health was greatly reduced due to the influence of the [Five Emperors' Coins buff], it can be said that his value needs to be raised to a higher level.
-
After looking at the attributes, Fang Yi had not yet had time to think about what kind of improvement space this equipment could have, and how to improve the physical endurance required for transplantation.

He then heard the "monster" named "limb" utter such a carefully crafted "lie".

"I have already formed a 'compatibility' with this equipment.

"As long as you and I coexist, I can autonomously activate all the effects of this equipment for you, just like when I coexisted with Cheng Xiang."

After hearing this, Fang Yi quickly turned his gaze to the equipment, which theoretically he could never see, and had an almost invincible protective effect, the [Overload Protocol].

Behind this special effect, there is a line of words written clearly:

[Currently used times: 0].

Combined with the strange behavior of this "monster", he pieced together the truth of Cheng Xiang's death.

Although his sword strike was powerful, if this "monster" had honestly activated the [Overload Protocol], Cheng Xiang would definitely not have died so easily.

At the same time, the monster's plea for mercy when facing Artoria's [Magic Release] was also a performance.

After learning these truths, Fang Yi became more determined not to "coexist" with him.

There is absolutely, absolutely a conspiracy behind this 'symbiosis'.

Fang Yi directly made a judgment on this "monster" in his heart.

[After treating Altria and recording its knowledge using the [Human Pill Method], I killed it.]
-
Before he could continue talking to Limb, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside the room.

When Fang Yi opened the door, he saw a 'doll' named Irisviel with a very conflicted expression on her face.

I heard a slightly apologetic tone in her words.

“I’m sorry, sir.

"I'm afraid I have to apologize to you for Archer's offer to heal Saber's severed finger in exchange for payment.

"The puppeteer we invited before you has already begun the treatment evaluation.

"I am afraid."

Fang Yi couldn't help but tilt his head when he heard these words.

[The puppeteer, could it be Aozaki Touko? ]

"I was just thinking of asking her for some more Perfect Dolls to see if I could add some more [Magic Circuits].

He directly interrupted Irisviel's words of seeing the guest off.

“This treatment is not that simple.

"I'm afraid I'm the only one who can handle this."

Fang Yi touched the glass bottle in his sleeve without leaving a trace, and added another sentence in his heart.

[After all, the source of the curse is in my hands, and the success or failure of the treatment is entirely up to me.]

He planned to wait here for a while, count the harvest, and go out to solve the problem after [Aozaki Orange] failed.

He also has a somewhat special [Skill Branch] that has not been applied and [Traits] that have not been solidified.

These two rewards will help him bypass the 'monster' and utilize this powerful [implant].
