The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

His gaze finally settled on an icon.

It was a black scythe with an antique design and smooth lines.

The blade is long and curved, gleaming with a dark metallic luster. The handle is slender and ends with a chain, giving the whole thing a feeling of deathly reaping.

It lives up to its name.

[Weapon: Black Iron Reaper]

[Quality: Green]

Material: Refined black iron, with a trace amount of dark steel added.

[Traits: Sturdy (Green), Sharp (Green), Armor Penetration (Green)]

[Description: A standardized battlefield reaper, designed for balance, combining slashing, hooking, and parrying. The long handle provides a certain attack range. Includes basic scythe usage tips (beginner)]

[Price: 1200 popularity points]

(Note: This is a one-time bound weapon; it can be upgraded later by consuming popularity points.)

sickle.

The long-handled weapon has a considerable attack range, combining the chopping power of an axe or hammer with the ingenious variations of hooking, cutting, and locking.

It can complement his strength advantage while compensating for some of his lack of skill and speed. Moreover, the sickle as a weapon has an inherent sense of intimidation and unique beauty, which is somewhat in line with his nickname of the coffin carrier.

More importantly, the price was reasonable at 1200 points, which was within an affordable range. Having seen the exorbitant prices of superpowers, 1200 points was incredibly cheap for Chen Guan.

"Exchange for [Black Iron Harvester]".

Tongzi quickly replied: "Exchange successful! 1200 popularity points deducted, remaining popularity points: 421 points."

"The weapon has been delivered to the system's storage space, and the basic scythe usage skills have been integrated into the host's consciousness."

With a thought, a heavy, cold black scythe appeared in Chen Guan's hand.

The handle is about 1.5 meters long, cool to the touch, solid in texture, and has fine anti-slip grooves.

The sickle blade is about 40 centimeters long, with a beautiful yet dangerous curve. The edge gleams under the light and has a faint blood groove design, making it much more imposing than it looks in the pictures.

The connection between the blade and the handle is sturdy, and the overall weight is estimated to be around 40 kilograms. It would be extremely heavy for an ordinary person, but for Chen Guan now, it feels just right, and it should be quite powerful to wield.

At the same time, knowledge about the basic grip of the sickle, the angle of swing, hooking and cutting techniques, and blocking methods also flooded into my mind.

By integrating this complex knowledge with his knowledge of [Basic Physical Skills Mastery] and [Heavy Weapon Mastery], he felt that he had become much more familiar with the feel of this type of polearm.

Chen Guan gripped the sickle and gently swung it a few times in the open space in the center of the room. The sound of the blade cutting through the air was deep, and the trajectory of the blade was steady and powerful.

Although it's just the simplest of movements, the feeling of being able to do it with ease is far more comfortable than wielding a coffin.

"Not bad." Chen Guan nodded in satisfaction. With this scythe, his attack methods would be much more diverse. He could use the scythe to restrain enemies at range, and use the coffin to defend himself at close range. The scythe could be used to attack weak points, or vice versa, making him much more flexible than before.

He put the scythe back into his storage ring and sat back down on the floor.

The next day, Chen Guan went to class and training as usual. He did not immediately take out the sickle to use, but prepared to find a suitable opportunity, such as the next combat training or mission, to suddenly reveal it as a new trump card.

In his regular physical training classes, he still mainly practices the use of the coffin and the power generation techniques taught by Li Yan.

After his afternoon classes ended, he received a delivery notification that the spider silk lining he had redeemed had been delivered to the dormitory storage point.

He immediately went to retrieve it. The lining was in a lightweight, sealed bag, which, when unfolded, revealed a large sheet of thin, gauze-like yet exceptionally tough, slightly elastic silver-gray fabric, large enough to cover most of the interior of the coffin.

It feels cool and smooth to the touch, and you can feel its strong resilience when you pull it hard.

Placing it inside the coffin without affecting the original body is a technical task.

Chen Guan studied the matter for a while and decided to leave it for the time being. He planned to consult Dean Situ Ming when he went to class on the weekend, or see if the Instrument Research Building had any related services.

Time flowed by in the fulfilling and structured college life. Chen Guan, like a sponge, greedily absorbed knowledge, tempered his body, and adapted to the rhythm of this extraordinary world.

On Friday afternoon, during his free time, Chen Guan once again spent time in the library. This time, he focused on researching literature on "psychic traits," trying to find more clues about his own special psychic abilities.

The results were meager, as this type of research is already niche and publicly available information is limited, but he still noted down some possible hypotheses.

If there's one thing that's giving him the biggest headache right now, it's his unique mental power. The unknown always makes people a little anxious and uneasy.

On Saturday morning, Chen Guan, carrying a spider silk lining and a bellyful of questions, once again arrived at the Equipment Research Building to attend Situ Ming's exclusive course.

In the laboratory, Situ Ming was already waiting there. When he saw the spider silk lining that Chen Guan had brought, he nodded slightly: "Good choice. Spider silk has both flexibility and strength, and its spiritualization level is low. It has little conflict with the repulsive properties of your coffin, making it a more suitable shock-absorbing material at this stage."

He had already guessed Chen Guan's thoughts, and like Li Yan, he was generous with his teachings.

"However," he changed the subject, "how to lay it is a problem. Simply laying it flat has limited effect and it is easy to shift. It needs to be cut and fixed according to the internal structure of the coffin and the stress points, and it is best to form a certain three-dimensional buffer structure."

He gestured for Chen Guan to lay the coffin flat, and Situ Ming personally used a scanning instrument to conduct a detailed survey of the inside of the coffin, recording the internal space dimensions and the outline of the body lying down.

Seeing Chen Guan's tense expression and his unwavering presence, Situ Ming glared and puffed out his beard: "Why are you so nervous? Do you think I'd steal your coffin?"

Sensing a subtle distrust, the old man even changed his traditional way of speaking.

Chen Guan was suffering in his heart. Did he want to stay by his side for even a moment? It was as if he couldn't bear to be separated from him for even a moment. Right now, he was like a bound spirit.

Unfortunately, he couldn't bring himself to say any of this, so he could only force a smile and say, "No, teacher, I just wanted to learn from you up close."

Regarding food guarding.

[Food possessiveness? Send it!]

Although Little Coffin Bro made the person inside the coffin all tangled up during the fight, he's genuinely protective of them normally; he hasn't left their side by even a meter.

[So what do you do when you take a shower? Carry a coffin on your back?]

[I don't know, that old thief didn't draw it, and he won't even let my esteemed PiliPala VIP member see it.]

The comments section was full of divergent thinking, while Situ Ming turned his head away, not arguing with Chen Guan, and focused on solving the problem: "Hmm... there is still enough space, we can lay it on the bottom, the side walls, or even the inside of the coffin lid."

While operating the light screen to simulate the composition, Situ Ming explained: "The bottom needs to be reinforced to withstand the main impacts. The side walls can be thinner to prevent lateral impacts. The inside of the coffin lid... if you don't open the lid often, you can lay some lining to prevent objects from falling from above."

"As for fixing, we can use a special biological adhesive that is non-toxic, harmless, and has moderate viscosity. It will not react adversely with black iron or spider silk. Qiyanlou has some in stock, and I can give you some."
