Chapter 185 You Ming's Cheat Codes...
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Inside the Yin World Temple, You Ming had just finished his cultivation. He fiddled with a compass in one hand, using the exhaustive method to try and obtain a better cheat code.

With his other hand, he struck a wooden fish, producing a crisp sound.

This is certainly not because You Ming converted to Buddhism, but because this wooden fish is actually a product of cheat codes.

Its name is [Reputation Wooden Fish].

Strictly speaking, this isn't a cheat code, but rather a small mod created by the player that can be directly added to the game.

In other words, each time a character strikes the wooden fish, they gain one point of reputation.

If you can knock it 10,000 times, you will gain 1 point of legend.

As for what reputation and legend can do, in the game they can increase faction favorability. With higher favorability, it becomes much easier to buy things or do quests.

This mod is so obscure that almost no one uses it.

Nonsense, I'm playing single-player games, why wouldn't I just cheat and max out my reputation and legend level? Only an idiot would painstakingly tap this wooden fish, that's just ridiculous.

Youming had mocked this mod in his previous life.

Now he's getting his comeuppance; he's been hitting this wooden fish all the time.

Fortunately, he always knocked secretly when no one was around, otherwise he might have been mistaken for someone trying to defect.

This wooden fish is something he acquired over the past eight years.

Over the past eight years, he has also acquired a considerable number of cheat codes.

This "Reputation Wooden Fish" is one of the less useless cheat codes out of a bunch of useless ones.

Other features, such as random generation, navigation assistance, and automatic incense burning, are the worst capabilities.

The so-called "random generation" means that it can be used once a day, but it will drop any item in the world (in the game). Theoretically, you can even drop innate treasures or chaotic treasures, but so far, Youming has tried no less than a thousand times. The most valuable thing that has dropped is one or two taels of silver. Most of the time, it is just a roll of rags or a broken shoe.

The "Navigation Assistance" feature sounds great, allowing you to fly on clouds without having to figure out directions yourself. However, in reality, you'll summon a fluffy, round rat spirit guide, which only works in burrows that mice can fit into. Moreover, this rat spirit is greedy and cowardly, and sometimes it will lead you astray.

Anyway, Youming has never used this ability.

Instead of relying on it to guide me, I'd rather maximize my own good fortune and then walk blindly.

The so-called "automatic fragrance diffuser" is actually a version of a cleansing spell. After use, it can make your clothes or designated items look brand new and have a light fragrance. According to the function description, it has a certain probability of increasing the favorability of the opposite sex, but You Ming thought that he was good-looking enough that he didn't really need this thing.

The above are all considered relatively useless; there are also some that are not so useless.

Besides the [Reputation Wooden Fish], there are also [Deep Sleep], [Chicken Crow Timer], [Hatred Pull], and so on.

This ability can be of some help to Youming, but it also has some obvious drawbacks.

For example, with the ability "Deep Sleep," if his mental energy is severely depleted, he can use this ability to fully recover his mental energy after the ability ends. However, during the recovery period, he will be unresponsive to anything in the outside world, making him very vulnerable if an enemy approaches him.

[Rooster Crow Timer] allows you to preset a time, at which point a rooster will crow naturally in your ear. This is useful when you forget the time during seclusion; it gently wakes you from your meditation, preventing you from missing anything important. As for [Aggro Draw], this is a commonly used ability by main tanks (MTs) in the game. It gathers the hostility of nearby enemies onto yourself. Although I (the game developer) would prefer it to transfer hostility to others, overall it's a decent ability that can be surprisingly effective if used well.

Of course, there are also some other useful cheat codes, such as [Injury Distribution], [Stone Turtle Avoids Calamity], [Object Clipping], etc.

This part of the capability has very obvious advantages and very few disadvantages.

For example, the "injury distribution" is like eliminating your vital organs. Someone stabbed you in the heart, but the injury will be evenly distributed throughout your body. What was originally a fatal wound becomes abrasions all over your body.

This is considered a top-notch method of survival.

There's also the "Stone Turtle Avoids Calamity" ability, which automatically transforms you into an inconspicuous stone turtle statue in times of crisis, returning to its original form after a cup of tea.

Although one cannot move or perceive anything during this process, if one transforms into stone when facing powerful enemies searching or spying, one can extinguish all life force.

As for the "object clipping" issue, that's a classic example.

Anyone who has played the game The Elder Scrolls should be familiar with this ability: after typing "tcl", the character can pass through all matter.

This ability was naturally replicated by Youming in his game in his previous life.

Having this ability means that all restrictions, formations, or heavily guarded treasure vaults are useless against him; he can pass through all matter.

If there's a downside, it's that the duration is too short; he can only use it for 15 minutes at a time, but the cooldown time is more than a day.

To date, he has not had the opportunity to actually test this ability.

After all, he was a respectable person; if he were caught stealing, he would lose all face in this area.

In those eight years, were there any powerful cheat codes that were strong enough but without any flaws?
Naturally there is.

That is: [Unlimited weight]!
Anyone who has played games knows that the most annoying thing is when your backpack is full while you're playing, and you either have to get a bigger backpack or sell some of the less valuable items.

In some games, carrying extra weight can also have penalty mechanisms, such as reduced movement speed or doubled stamina consumption.

In this case, the cheat code "unlimited weight" is a feature available in almost all single-player role-playing games.

Moreover, once this ability is activated, there is no time limit; it's like having a certificate that lasts forever.

You Ming sensed it only slightly, and it was as if there were countless grids in the void.

These compartments are similar to storage spaces, but each one does not have a specific size. They only restrict the types of storage, not the storage size.

For example, a square can hold a needle or a house, but you cannot put both a needle and a house in the same square at the same time.

However, a single grid can hold a thousand needles, or a thousand houses.

The same type of object can be placed in the same compartment.

The cheat code "Unlimited Weight" is arguably the most overpowered of all the cheat codes available to users.
