Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 356 Expensive things have their own reasons for being expensive
After the nine gold bars melted into thin air one after another, Fang Yi obtained the [Truth Refined and Completed] in the previous world.

This skill, which was extremely expensive both to acquire and to activate, ran faithfully and efficiently like a well-lubricated and fully-powered machine.

He began to explore in depth for Fang Yi's [source of additional mana] and the [modules] that could be [replaced] in his newly acquired [phase crystal core energy storage cavity].

After a while, Fang Yi, who had pulled his hands away from the [Relics] and equipment, heard several prompt sounds in his ears.

【Based on the skill user's knowledge of alchemy, the composition of the equipment has been clarified.】

The functions that can be replaced and repaired have been divided into several modules based on the user's knowledge.

[[Relic] [Additional Mana Source], equipment [Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Cavity], and related abilities of replaceable modules have been materialized.]

Fang Yi quickly set his sights on a strand of gathered hair in this glass bead-sized relic.

This seemingly insignificant strand of hair is actually the [Biological Energy Storage and Transmission Module] of the [Truth Refining and Completion] skill, and is considered the essence of the entire [Relic].

【Biological energy storage and transmission module】

Module Rating: Epic

(Module ratings are based on the item's corresponding tier.)
Module function 1:

The user can quickly store an amount of alien energy equivalent to 100 mana points.

Module function 2:

When the user transmits thoughts, the module will establish a void link with the user's body, generating an energy transmission channel to quickly transmit energy.

Module function 3:

This module is infected by flesh and blood and alien energy, and will have minimal contamination and marking effects on users who are not infected.

When the equipment and the infected object are in the same space and close to each other, the infected object will be able to sense its presence.
-
This skill revealed the [Module] properties in the [Relic] that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Fang Yi also successfully obtained the "intelligence" that was not disclosed to the reincarnationists in the introduction of the space.

However, Fang Yi did not take it lightly. Instead, he took out some corpses of [Engraved Insects] again and launched [Erosion and Assimilation] on this [relic] again.

Until I saw with my own eyes that the [minimal pollution and marking] in [Bio-energy storage and transmission module·module efficacy 3] changed to [certain pollution and marking].

After carefully and thoroughly verifying his guess, he nodded with satisfaction.

Just like taking out the ingredients such as bell rolls and fried dough sticks that have absorbed the soup from the hot pot and starting to enjoy them, he put this [relic] next to him.

Focus on inspecting the module of [Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Cavity].

It quickly passed by the [Shield Generation Module] and [Space Distortion Module] which appeared to be normal.

Fang Yi quickly set his sights on the 12 energy storage chips built into the cavity made of titanium-tungsten alloy.

Under the division of [Truth Refining and Completion], it was divided into two [High-precision Integrated Energy Storage Modules] with the same attributes.

One of the [modules] was "contaminated" just like Fang Yi had just activated [Erosion Assimilation].
-
【High-precision integrated energy storage module A】

Module Rating: Epic

Module function 1:

When the user implants the item equipped with this module into the human body as an [implant], the [module] will establish a connection with the user's body.

Energy will be slowly collected through the user's body as a medium to generate a certain amount of energy storage units for use by other [modules].

There is a certain upper limit to the energy storage units that can be generated within 24 hours.

Module function 2:

This [module] will establish a connection with the user's human body and be in the human body.

Users can pay to convert vitality into energy storage units, and there is an upper limit to the energy storage units that can be converted at a time.

Module function 3:

This module is infected with flesh, blood, alien energy, and trace soul fragments, and will have a moderate degree of contamination to users who are not infected.

If implanted, it will most likely trigger an extremely terrifying [rejection reaction] and [implant body] disorder.

When a non-infected subject implants the [Module] into the human body, energy exchange occurs.

A portion of energy and vitality will be intercepted as an energy reserve that cannot be used by other [modules], deepening the infection of the module and inducing unknown changes.

If the infected target dies, the [Module] will consume its energy reserves and accept part of the infected person's soul.

Looking at the 'landmine' that finally appeared before his eyes and the 'back door' left by the other party.

Relying on a flash of caution, he avoided the risk again. Fang Yi, who had seen through the enemy's methods, couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth with a sarcastic smile.

[So who is the target of the 'infection' displayed in this [module]?]

【It’s so hard to guess.】

[Could it be a 'monster' that is contained in a glass bottle and isolated in a portable space?]

If I hadn't kept a trick up my sleeve, I also had this strange talent called [Talent] [Extraordinary Gravity] that could create skills out of thin air, and I could reverse-engineer traps based on the skills.

He also possesses the [Truth Refining and Completion] that ordinary people cannot obtain for screening, and he is likely to step into the trap set by the other party without knowing it.

The 'back door' that the other party had secretly opened had actually blocked the normal way for ordinary people to use the [implant].

As long as Fang Yi wants to quickly utilize this equipment and start snowballing in this mission, he must engage in a "mutually beneficial symbiosis" with the other party that is like opening the door to thieves.

He completely became the other party's host, and finally met with the same tragic end as Mr. Cheng Xiang in a battle.

Even if he kills the opponent, the opponent can still become the "old man in the ring" and live in the equipment, plotting a comeback.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi became even more determined that "this monster must not be kept alive."

He planned to find a place to deal with this monster after he finished treating the 'Knight King' and gathering knowledge of [Alchemy] to lay a solid foundation for restoring the durability of the [Philosopher's Stone (Fake)].

The "Sacrifice" method of his [Bloody Alchemy] has not been used for a long time.

The last time, in order to please an unknown being, he offered a sacrifice to a ghost king.

That 'sacrifice' also allowed him to obtain a unique [strange item] [strange blood] that helped him embark on a unique [bloodline strengthening style], as well as a knife for Miss Ganlu Temple.

And in his own personal space, Fang Yi felt that the monster originating from the [Saint's Remains] was very suitable as a new sacrifice.

This will help accelerate the process of [Strange Blood] transforming into [Divine Blood].

After thinking about how to kill the "monster", Fang Yi turned his attention to the "porcelain piece" the size of a fingernail on his hand.

After playing with it for a while, he carefully took out a [Visual Worm] that originated from the [Engraving Worm].

He planned to revamp this piece of equipment that looked like one of those Horcruxes used by a noseless wizard to resurrect.

Dig the pit containing the opponent's coffin deeper, and nail the nails on the opponent's coffin tighter, completely blocking the opponent's way of resurrection and killing the opponent completely.

At the same time, use this life-saving equipment as soon as possible.

With this equipment, his fault tolerance will become very high, and he can also retain as much of the [Remaining Lifespan] in the [Five Emperors' Coins] as possible.
-
He called upon the [Human Pill Method] and began to describe his "explosive reform" plan to the assistant.

"[Human Pill Method], please evaluate my plan to 'destroy the Horcrux' according to the relevant [Database].

[Okay, please describe your plan, provide the database you need to call, and pay the corresponding 'fuel'.]

My specific plan is as follows.

After consuming a rather painful 500 points of 'fuel' and recovering more than half of the 'memories' brought by the old bug, Fang Yi finally got a decent solution.

He took out the [Philosopher's Stone (Fake)] from the space after a long absence, rubbed the edge and squeezed out as much powder as possible.

The durability of this consumable has been depleted to 1 point, which is the limit for maintaining its existence, while retaining the possibility of restoring its durability with the skills gained from the previous codex in this mission.

He skillfully used most of the powder to create the [Bloody Alchemy] circle, then slashed his blade to carve off as much flesh and blood as possible. He spent 1000 points to dismantle the [Biological Energy Storage and Transmission Module] from the [Source of Additional Mana], a unit that had accompanied him for so long, had cycled through countless mana cycles, and was considered a highly valuable asset.

He consumed 20 years of his [spare lifespan] to launch a fairly successful [erosion and assimilation] on the [visual insects], flesh, blood, and powder.

Then he paid another 500 points to remove six millimeter-sized particles called [High-precision Integrated Energy Storage Module A] from the "ceramic piece" the size of a fingernail.

He took out the [Soul-Burning Wax], raised his hand, and a drop of wax oil dripped down to cover the entire particle.

When the wax touched the particles, it was like a spark hitting gasoline, and a white flame appeared out of nowhere and burned fiercely.

After a while, as the flame was extinguished, [High-precision integrated energy storage module A] changed into [Damaged high-precision integrated energy storage module A].

The description of [Infection by trace soul fragments] disappeared, and [Moderately contaminated to users of non-infected objects] was changed to [Slightly contaminated to users of non-infected objects].

He grabbed the "grains" in one hand and the "hair" in the other.

I paid the 8000 points that were still hot with great pain and initiated a [repair] on the damaged [module].

As if performing NTR, he dyed this [module] with his own color.

After a while, a brand new and clean [module] appeared before his eyes.
-
【Hybrid energy storage and transmission module】

Module Rating: Epic

Module function 1:

When the user implants the item equipped with this module into the human body as an [implant], the [module] will quickly establish a connection with the user's body.

In addition to using the user's body as a medium to collect energy at a moderate speed, it generates high-quality energy storage units with a certain upper limit within 24 hours.

It can also quickly absorb alien energy equivalent to 100 mana points mixed with a small amount of high-quality energy storage units to quickly generate lower-quality energy storage units.

For use by other modules.

Module function 2:

This [module] will establish a connection with the user's human body and be in the human body.

The user can pay vitality and mana to quickly convert them into energy storage units. There is a limit to the energy storage units that can be converted at a time.

Module function 3:

This module is infected by flesh, blood, and alien energy, and will have a certain degree of contamination to users who are not infected.

If the infected object implants the [module] into the human body.

Every time energy is transferred, part of the mechanical structure of the [module] will be replaced by the mimicked flesh and blood with some related functions.

Speed ​​up the progress of [Erosion Assimilation/Symbiotic Assimilation].
-
Look at the properties of the [Module] in your hand.

Fang Yi spent 500 points to refill them into the [Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Cavity] to form a brand new equipment, while he began to complain.

[They just added an energy path and turned it into a hybrid, right?]

Looking at the brand new [Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Cavity·Modified], I haven't had time to appreciate its new properties.

A crisp space prompt sound rang in Fang Yi's ears.

[Through your imaginative thinking, you used the resources at hand to complete an excellent [Truth Refinement and Completion], creating a brand new piece of equipment.]

[Affected by the talent [Diligent Learning], your [Truth Refining·Completion] skill has been upgraded from [lv2] to [lv3].]

[Your [Implant Fusion] skill level will be upgraded from [LV8] to [LV9]. Please try to perform more [Implant Fusion].

Fang Yi naturally responded to the spatial suggestion.

“More [Implant Fusion]?
“There’s no need to be so blunt.

"Before I fuse the Magic Marking and implant the Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Cavity (Modified), this is the only implant I need to improve its compatibility with."

He grabbed the remaining [Philosopher's Stone] powder and poured it onto the [Magic Seal] on his right arm.

He took out another [Visual Worm] and activated the newly acquired [Corrosion Assimilation], which was much more effective than [Implant Fusion] but had more stringent activation conditions.

But in a moment, three pleasant prompt tones rang in his ears.

The compatibility of the equipment [Emiya Norikane's Magic Seal (approximately 70%)] has been increased from [88%] to [%].

[When the [Compatibility] reaches over 90%, you will be able to implant the second [Implant].]

[Your [Implant Fusion] skill level has been increased from [lv8] to [lv9].]

After doing all this and realizing that he would soon be able to undergo a second [implantation transformation], Fang Yi set his sights on new equipment.

After being equipped with the new 'hybrid' module, this equipment has new possibilities.

【Phase crystal core energy storage cavity·modification】

Equipment Category: Alchemical Items & Relics
Equipment quality: Tier 2 epic

Relic quality: Unknown

Durability: 2030/2077
Origin: The world of 'Eternal Arasaka Towers'

Equipment Part Usage Conditions: (Only specify the conditions that have changed)

The user must possess several [injury-free] talents, traits, or skills that [improve physical adaptability] to reach the (70-point) tolerance standard required for transplantation.

(Your current tolerance is 60 points, which does not meet the tolerance required for transplantation.)
Equipment effect:

[Fold Shield Hybrid] (New)

It can consume mana mixed with the energy used by the original shield to perform multiple defenses with slightly weakened effects and greatly reduced consumption.

When performing protection, a certain amount of mixed energy will be consumed according to the user's physical condition to offset most of the damage the body should bear.

[Warp Shield] [Phase Deflection] [Overload Protocol] (Unchanged)

[Relic] Part [Legendary 'Heart'] (Unchanged)
-
【Expensive things have their own reasons for being expensive.】

Although this equipment had a very strong protective effect, the cost was that the speed of accumulating energy was a bit too slow.

It is impossible to use this equipment in some small battles and make efficient use of it.

Under normal circumstances, it takes 12 days to store 4 layers.

In other words, the normally accumulated energy within a day is not even enough for Fang Yi to activate a [Phase Deflection].

If you want to use it efficiently, you must spend money.

Now, after paying 10000 points and a lot of props and equipping the new [Module], he can use this equipment frequently by paying mana in daily battles.

A cheap shield with weakened effect is enough to help him deal with most battles.

Fang Yi, who couldn't wait to activate this equipment, glanced at the message on the equipment: "Your current tolerance is 60 points, which does not meet the tolerance required for transplantation."

He quickly turned his attention to the [Characteristics] that had not yet solidified after killing Cheng Xiang.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will cost 10000 points. After solidification, the trait named [Trauma Baptism] will be the last piece of the puzzle for him to activate this [implant].

Fang Yi still had the same opinion about the price offered for the space.

【Expensive things have their own reasons for being expensive.】

Even though this trait requires paying 10000 points, Fang Yi thinks it is worth the money.
