Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"really?"

Although Chen Xi wouldn't joke in this kind of situation, Wang Sanjin couldn't help but ask.

"Authenticity guaranteed".

"But don't get excited yet. Let me finish explaining before you decide whether you want to give it a try."

"Because this is not a foolproof solution."

Chen Xi paused here, then pointed to the historical stone tablet:

"You can see that some of these identities have blue lettering, while others don't."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he specifically pointed out two identities: one was a lawyer and the other was a hairdresser.

"Both of these identities were previously used by the curly-haired imposter, so they can no longer be used."

"I don't know exactly what this historical stone tablet is, but it can temporarily enhance any identity in any form."

"Only once."

"Those identities that have lost their blue lettering are those identities that were enhanced for various reasons."

"There are 21 identities that have lost their color, which is about one-twentieth, not many."

"This shows that it probably didn't pass through many hands before the curly-haired fake man."

"Further analysis of the stone tablet itself suggests that it has existed for a very long period of time since it is called a historical stone tablet."

"In other words, it spends most of its time dormant, buried underground, and we don't know where the curly-haired pseudo-human got this thing from."

"As for the enhancement I mentioned earlier, you'll notice it if you just place your finger on any of the identities on the history tablet."

"Its only requirement is a distance restriction, that is, the extraordinary person with this identity needs to be near the historical stone tablet."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he handed the historical stone tablet to Wang Sanjin.

It looked like it was saying, "Try touching it."

Yang Wei and Wang Sanjin were both afraid that this thing was a bit strange, so they didn't touch it.

Now that Chen Xi has said all that, Wang Sanjin naturally won't back down.

Not only him, but the others followed suit and touched it.

Afterwards, they all wore expressions of astonishment.

"I see."

"Indeed, it is any form of pre-death enhancement."

"My identity as a delivery driver hasn't been enhanced yet, but I can use it to increase my ability to resist containment curses."

"So, you're planning to make me use Rising Dragon?"

Chen Xi shook his head:

"The numbering of the contained objects is like the innate talent of the fake humans; the lower the number, the stronger they are."

Even though they are both deadly curses, their lethal effects are different.

"Aside from the dead, who use their extraordinary characteristics to forcibly overcome the Rising Dragon Curse through death, under normal circumstances, non-adaptable individuals simply cannot withstand the inevitable death curse of the Rising Dragon."

"Even with the help of the historical stone tablets, if you use the Rising Dragon technique, you will most likely still die."

Wan Sanjin nodded in approval.

If Chen Xi's method required him to use the Rising Dragon technique, he would definitely refuse.

As the number 10 forbidden item, Wang Sanjin knew very well that even with the temporary enhancement from the historical stone tablet, he could not withstand this level of curse.

Although he arrived relatively late, by the time he arrived, the curly-haired imposter had already been resurrected.

But on his way there, he learned about what had happened before.

The reason why the dead can use the forbidden item, Rising Dragon, is not simply because it can be resurrected.

More importantly, it possesses another extraordinary characteristic after resurrection.

The dead, resurrected through resurrection coins, are immune for life to any extraordinary power they came into contact with within the 24 hours before their death.

This is the core reason why the dead can use the Rising Dragon.

"Yang Wei".

"Give the Bo Zhuang needle to Wang Sanjin."

Without saying a word, Yang Wei took it out and handed it over.

He had guessed it when Chen Xi brought up the idea.

"This is containment item number 77, the Wave Needle."

"Its effect is to seal away an identity or an innate talent."

"Your number is 77, which is definitely not high. With the enhancement from the historical tablet, I think you can most likely overcome its curse and complete this task."

"This is just my personal suggestion; whether you try it or not is up to you."

"After all, we might get a containment object with a lower number."

"I do."

Without much thought, Wang Sanjin gave the answer directly.

"Just like you said, the world is shrinking, and the rate of shrinkage is accelerating. Neither I nor we have much time left."

"In this environment, time cost is also a huge pressure."

"It's impossible for everything to be perfect and optimal; some risks must be taken."

Chen Xi wasn't too surprised by this answer.

Given the unfavorable economic climate, there are few and few options available, leaving one with little choice but to accept the situation.

If the world were still vast, Wang Sanjin could have waited for the containment objects numbered 90 and beyond to appear, but for now, he could only make do with what he had.

Use it on me.

Wan Sanjin took the needle from Bo Zhuang, and Yan Mingliang spoke up.

"I want to experience extraordinary power more personally; I feel that this will be more beneficial to my progress."

"OK."

Wan Sanjin readily agreed.

He had originally planned to keep his identity as a food delivery driver secret, but now that Yan Mingliang had spoken up, he decided to do as he was told.

After confirming again, Chen Xi directly activated the deliveryman identity on the stone slab.

Wan Sanjin immediately felt something like an antibody appear in his body.

Without saying a word, he directly activated the Wave-Strength Needle and pierced it into Yan Mingliang's back.

It quickly penetrated completely into the body.

Although he has antibodies, Wan Sanjin is not a suitable candidate for the Bo Zhuang needle.

An invisible curse spread from his arm to his body.

Wan Sanjin quickly realized that the curse wouldn't kill anyone.

This is not because the curse is weak, nor because of the antibodies of the historical stone tablet, but because this curse is aimed at one's own mental power!

It will seal the maximum value of your telekinetic power!

If you force it, the end result will be that you will completely lose the power to use telekinesis and become an ordinary person with good physical fitness.

"Huff... huff..."

Wan Sanjin barely managed to release the Wave-Strength Needle, sealing Yan Mingliang's identity as a sniper.

They fully bore the curse.

"Thank you, this little task is complete."

"I owe you another favor."

"Containment objects are something that non-adaptable individuals shouldn't use casually; they're terrifying."

"Even with the historical stone tablet, it's still not enough. My total mental power is now only half of what it used to be."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi immediately understood that this was the curse of the Wave-Strength Needle.

I never imagined that the curse on just containment object number 77 would be so terrifying!

Even with the help of the historical stone tablets, half of his psychic power was still sealed due to the curse.

If you force it to be used, it will really revert to its original state.

Subsequently, Yang Wei retrieved the Bo Zhuang Needle.

Yan Mingliang carefully sensed the two different states before and after.

It's a habit of top students to like to study problems in their own way.

Yan Mingliang was, after all, a top student in the advanced class. Although his grades were not as good as Chen Xi's, his attitude towards learning was better.

After all, Chen Xi relied on cheat codes!

"By the way, Chen Xi."

Seeing Chen Xi put away the historical stone tablet, Yan Mingliang suddenly thought of something:

"You mentioned earlier that this historical stone tablet is missing a piece; I might know where that piece is."

"Where?"

"My hometown, Yancheng!"
