Why is my anime art style so weird?

It turns out that Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly disappeared from her home, and her mother immediately spent a lot of money to assemble a search and rescue team.

However, to their dismay, they could not find the location of Starfall Island.

Snow Mother could only roughly deduce the location of Starfall Island based on the ancient books left by her ancestors.

Unexpectedly, around 4 a.m., they suddenly detected a signal from the satellite phone carried by Yukino and Yukino.

They immediately located Starfall Island using GPS.

Xu Ming recalled.

That time seems to coincide with the moment when Tsukuyomi stole the 'Holy Grail of the Stars' and fled.

It seems that the 'Holy Grail of the Stars' played a significant role in why Starfall Island remained undiscovered for centuries, and it is clear that a huge secret is hidden within it.

The yacht sped off and, after more than two days, finally returned to Tokyo.

The Yukinoshita family is very trustworthy; the payment they promised Xu Ming was delivered the very next day.

Xu Ming has officially joined the ranks of the wealthy.

--------

Xu Ming stood on the edge of the corridor, looking at the scene in the courtyard.

Hey!

The water-filled deer tilted down and crashed into the bluestone in the pool, making a crisp sound.

The lush plants have been carefully tended and pruned into their most suitable shape.

The entire courtyard is elegant yet full of vitality.

This is his new residence, a Japanese-style mansion covering an area of ​​nearly two acres.

It was one of the gifts of gratitude given to him by the Yukinoshita family.

The front and back courtyards together exceed one acre, while the main house in the middle is nearly 500 square meters, with two floors, in a traditional Japanese style.

Bamboo walls, screens, paper sliding doors, tatami mats, a small pond... everywhere here is filled with antique charm.

However, once you enter the main house, you'll find a completely different style.

In addition to the luxuriously decorated master and guest bedrooms, the main house also features a computer room and gym, which are popular with young people, and the basement has been converted into a small home theater.

From the outside, it looks like a typical Japanese-style garden, but once inside, it's filled with trendy and fashionable styles.

The Yukinoshita family clearly put a lot of effort into creating this luxurious mansion for Xu Ming.

After Xu Ming stayed for a week or two, the novelty wore off, and he suddenly found it boring.

Even with all his shikigami released, plus his older sister, the entire house still felt too empty.

The Yukinoshita family wanted to hire resident maids, cooks, drivers, and the like for their household.

However, Xu Ming felt he had too many secrets and it was inconvenient to let outsiders stay here for an extended period.

So these staff members leave at night after finishing their work during the day.

As evening fell, the house suddenly became less lively.

Xu Ming sighed and stopped thinking about these messy things.

He returned to his study, sat down, and then opened the system panel.

Previously, Xu Ming had been busy receiving gifts of gratitude from the Yukinoshita family and moving house, so he hadn't had time to check on things. Now he finally had some free time.

He decided to take stock of what he had gained from the last incident.

—Congratulations, host, for completing the main event 'Twin Curse: Eternal Sorrow'.

—The final difficulty level of this event is... five stars!

—System settlement in progress, please wait...

Xu Ming was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, the initial difficulty of the event did not seem to reach five stars.

It seems that this incident took several turns, ultimately pushing the difficulty to an even higher level.

But that's good too; the higher the difficulty, the higher the reward.

—Event completion rate 80%

—Gained 45000 Strange Points (150%)

—Get the hidden reward 'Flash Charge Module'!

It was something new again. Xu Ming immediately opened the panel and began to check the properties of the 'flash charging module'.

Flash Charge Module – A special module installed on exorcism phones that can accelerate the phone's energy storage efficiency in a very short time.

Current effect: Reduces the phone's battery life to 10%, lasts for one minute, and has a cooldown time of one hour.

Xu Ming's face immediately showed a look of shock.

The 'flash charging module' is currently installed on the exorcism phone, but the effect doesn't seem very noticeable yet.

The exorcism phone currently has a power level of six, meaning it takes four minutes to charge once.

Using the 'flash charging module', the energy storage time can be reduced to 24 seconds.

In other words, in flash charging mode, the Exorcist Phone can quickly recover its power twice within one minute.

At first glance, it seems to be just a top-tier piece of equipment.

However, if Xu Ming raises the energy storage level to the highest level nine, then the energy storage time will only take one minute.

In fast charging mode, it can restore power once every six seconds!

But it's not over!

Xu Ming had consulted the system instructions.

For just 50,000 Mysterious Points, you can upgrade the 'Flash Charge Module' to the 'Flash Charge Module - Ultimate'!

Energy storage time will be drastically reduced to 1%!

What is this concept?

This means that it only takes 0.6 seconds to charge up once!

Energy storage in less than a second!

Just imagine how terrifying it would be if RPG rocket launchers could fire in rapid succession!

It's practically a handheld rocket launcher!

The 'flash charging module' becomes a truly amazing tool in the later stages!

This is absolutely terrifying!

No wonder the system only gave one hidden reward for this main event, which included so many sub-events.

This one and only hidden reward is seriously disrupting the game's balance!

Once Xu Ming upgrades the exorcism phone to its highest level, he can instantly kill level six demons!

Xu Ming took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

Reaching level six in energy storage will also require a large amount of Mysterious Points, which is still quite far off for now.

Xu Ming first upgraded Erina and Haruyuki Arita's levels.

Because they were on the verge of a breakthrough, Xu Ming only spent a small amount of money to raise them both to level five.

Xu Ming then began to examine the other upgradable equipment.

Although the 'Exorcism Machine Gun' was tempting, Xu Ming remained rational.

He wasn't playing a game. Faced with increasingly dangerous events, he couldn't possibly save up his points and then unleash a powerful attack all at once.

The game can do this because its resurrection mechanism gives players an infinite margin for error.

But reality is different; Xu Ming only has one life, which he cherishes very much.

Therefore, a more prudent approach would be to improve step by step while accumulating points to gradually upgrade the exorcism phone.

Don't try to get fat in one bite.

Chapter 403 I've Become Stronger Again

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ming chose to upgrade the levels of the Physics Holy Sword and the mobile phone camera.

This incident has introduced enemies at Soul Level 6, and the power of the Physics Holy Sword and the Exorcism Phone is starting to prove insufficient.

Moreover, he only had a little over a month left on his promise to Kato Megumi.

The Konoha incident is probably even more difficult than this one.

Therefore, it is imperative to enhance the power of both.

So Xu Ming first upgraded the Physics Holy Sword to level 6, which cost him a full 15000 Strange Points.

The attributes of the Physics Holy Sword have not only been greatly increased, but it has also gained a new ability.

Therefore, the properties of the Holy Sword of Physics became:

The Holy Sword of Physics (6-star, upgradable) – A super weapon forged by an indescribable being, capable of disrupting the laws of physics.

Current results—

Force stacking: When striking the same target repeatedly, the force will stack up. The first strike is 2 times, the second is 4 times, the third is 8 times, the fourth is 16 times, and it can stack up to 9 times, which is 512 times. If you stop striking the target for more than 5 seconds, the force will be concentrated and released.

Warp: Enables precise strikes to targets regardless of distance, with a maximum effective range of 100 meters.

Sever: Each hit has a certain probability of severing the connection between targets. This connection can be tangible or intangible. The probability is 3% for the first hit, 4% for the second, 5% for the third, and so on.

Schrödinger's Crowbar: This ability can be activated manually (activation interval: 5 minutes). It randomly selects one ability and amplifies its effect three times, while other abilities become ineffective.

Time Steal: Upon hit, there is a certain probability of stealing time from the target, causing them to enter a special slow state. There is a 50% probability of reducing the target's overall speed by 20%, a 10% probability of reducing the target's overall speed by 50%, and a 1% probability of applying the 'Time Stop' effect to the target for 20 seconds.

All effects are halved against targets of Soul Level 7.

After reviewing the new attributes of the Physics Holy Sword, not to mention the other significantly improved attributes, this new effect alone is incredibly powerful!

First of all, 'time' is a high-level conceptual attribute, unlike frost or curses, which can provide immunity to many 'strange' things.

Secondly, not to mention the slowing effect, there's also the insane 'time stop' debuff.
