A Psychiatrist's Bizarre Game Journey / Dream of the Mist

"Huh? That's a strange question... Look, I have all his things now, so how is he doing?"

Nyarko looked at the sand between her fingers with an expression of utter disbelief, but ultimately shook her head with a "I can't do anything with you" look: "Of course it's completely annihilated, not even a speck of dust remains. This is my trophy! My trophy!"

There was a moment of silence, broken only by the faint sounds of drowsy people dozing off.

Fortunately, a small thing soon flew out of the hole and landed in Zhou Ke'er's hand.

It's a strangely shaped ring, or rather... calling it a band would be more accurate.

Title: The Lier Trick

[Type: Equipment (Accessory)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Defense: Extremely weak (Are you planning to use this to block damage?)]

Special Effects:

① Reduces the speed of the specified target to 20% of its original speed, consuming 3% sanity per second. — No cooldown.

② Consumes 15% of your sanity and that of the designated target (within 20 meters), swapping your positions with the target. —Cooldown: 2 minutes

③ Designate a target. When you consume a certain amount of sanity due to this equipment, both you and the target will simultaneously consume the same amount of sanity. —Cooldown: 30 minutes

[Note: You think I'm crazy? Hehehe, yes, I am crazy—but so are you!]

"...To be honest, the special effects of this equipment...are really disgusting."

Cold-cooked Rabbit couldn't help but comment.

"...To be fair, this equipment...no wonder it's so compatible with Zhou Ke'er!"

Zhijiansha glanced at Zhou Ke'er and nodded in agreement, "Such a disgusting effect, it really is just like your personality!"

You'd definitely be the kind of disgusting guy who activates effect three first, then effect two to create a sanity advantage, then uses effect one to continuously drain the opponent's sanity, and then just keeps running away to wear them down!

That's right, the second effect not only consumed the user's own sanity but also forcibly consumed the opponent's sanity. Combined with the effect of the third effect... the target instantly lost 30% of their sanity, bringing them to 15% behind Zhou Ke'er. Now, just use the first effect to slowly whittle down their sanity...

"Tsk, you noticed that?"

Zhou Ke'er looked at the sand between her fingers, then arrogantly tilted her head back and laughed three times in a dramatic, exaggerated manner: "That's right, that's how I'm going to fight! So what! Even if you know, what can you do about it? Come and hit me, you idiot!"

If I just find a skill, equipment, or teammate to restore sanity, and then hide well, or spam defense... I'll be invincible!

"Snapped!"

Honghe walked over, expressionlessly tapped Zhou Ke'er on the head hard, and said in a monotone tone, "Oh dear, you actually asked someone to hit you. This is the first time I've encountered such a strange request, but I'm happy to help, so I'll try my best to fulfill your wish."

"...You hit me! My dad never hit me!"

Zhou Ke'er held her head, looking aggrieved: "And... I asked an idiot to hit me! If you hit me, it means you're an idiot!"

"...Are these two kids kindergarten children?!"

Sand between his fingers couldn't help but cover his forehead and mutter to himself.

117. My weapon is the worst! Oh no, spear!

"Oh, by the way, the main world isn't just this desolate and abandoned place. This place was preserved in this state because of my personal interest. Other places... there are also cities or settlements where humans, other races, or monsters gather!"

Nyarko then seemed to remember something she hadn't mentioned earlier, and dutifully continued explaining: "Also, there are rewards for reaching certain progress in exploring the main world. The earlier you reach the progress, the richer the rewards."

Well... besides that, completing some hidden quests in the main world will also grant rewards—for example, Zhou Ke'er leaving teleportation coordinates in the main world counts as one. You'll have to discover these for yourselves.

And another thing... sometimes you might wonder, what if you encounter monsters far beyond the normal level in the main world or mods, and you can't defeat them through strategy? Ta-da! The solution is what I'm about to tell you, a very important setting!

That's the "Character Template" setting! This feature only becomes available after a player registers as the owner of a safe house in the main world! Of course, it doesn't mean you can have it right now; you just have the qualification to unlock the "Character Template." You still have to trigger it yourself.

Once you acquire a cultivation method for a certain power system in the main world or a module, you will unlock your own "character template". Each person's character template is unique, after all... cultivation methods for various power systems can be mixed!

I once encountered a truly bizarre individual. He not only cultivated Eastern internal energy but also possessed vampire blood, a portion of the godhood of the underworld, and the power source of an abyssal demon... along with various other minor, fragmented powers that I can't even remember. Anyway, he didn't self-destruct due to the clash of powers, so theoretically... cultivating multiple power systems simultaneously should be no problem!

Hey... who is this guy we're talking about at the end?! This isn't just weird anymore... what normal person would do human experiments on themselves?! Even Zhou Ke'er wouldn't do that!

Oh, and if you really can't remember it, you can just show us the booklet!

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but mentally complain, glancing casually at the others—and then noticing Chen Tian's slightly embarrassed expression hidden beneath her hair...

Hey! You're not the guy Nyaruko was talking about, are you?!

Zhou Ke'er was stunned. This is unbelievable! Compared to this... becoming a transmigrator doesn't seem like such a big deal at all!

However... in that case, Chen Tian... no, Chen Tian himself... seems to have played a much more important role in the final battle of the Old Era than Zhou Ke'er imagined.

If this guy were discovered by those great beings now... no, to be honest, Zhou Ke'er felt that he had already been discovered, but Nyaruko hadn't shown anything, nor had she shown any special care for Chen Tian...

It sounds like Nyaruko and Chen Tian are quite familiar with each other. If she knew Chen Tian was here, there's no reason she would deliberately ignore him...

Zhou Ke'er was a little confused, but for now she could only take it one step at a time.

"Well, that should be all. There might not be anything else. Let's leave it at that for now. I'll let you know if I remember anything else next time."

Nyarko nodded.

This guy is so casual! Can't he at least let me know next time?

Cold-Eating Rabbit couldn't help but silently complain in her heart, while carrying an anchor that was half her size... with a chain...

Yes, you read that right, it's an anchor!

This is the weapon she got from that hole!

Title: Blackbeard's Anchor

[Type: Weapon (Medium-to-Long Range Heavy Weapon)]

[Quality: Epic]

Attack power: Extremely high (if you can actually swing it)

Special Effects:

① Shout "Set sail!" and lift the ship off the ground. The holder will consume 15% of their stamina and travel forward in a straight line at a speed of 100 km/s for any distance (less than 150 meters), during which time they will be immune to all damage. —Cooldown: 1 hour

② Shout "Moor!" and slam the anchor to the ground. The holder consumes 15% of their stamina. Allies within a 15-meter radius (including the holder) will receive 60% damage reduction for 10 seconds and be immune to all negative status effects. —Cooldown: 1 hour.

[Note: You bastards! I mean... it's time to set sail! Hurry up and put that damn anchor in! Don't make me do it myself! Or I'll twist your bodies into a rope to pull the anchor, I swear!]

The petite cold-cooked rabbit holding this thing... the incongruity was extremely strong, and Zhou Ke'er barely managed to hold back her laughter.

Cold-cooked Rabbit struggled to lift half a chain, her eyes filled with extreme hostility. Zhou Ke'er was afraid that if she teased her now, she would be smashed into mincemeat with an anchor.

While Nyaruko was rambling on, the others gradually received their equipment.

To be honest, Zhou Ke'er originally thought that Honghe would get a sickle—although she didn't know why she had that feeling, it was like a subconscious thought.

Unfortunately, it didn't. Instead, the flamingo received a plain white mask without any patterns.

【Title: The Faceless One】

Type: Accessory (Mask)

[Defense: Low (You're not going to take an attack head-on, are you?)]

[Quality: Excellent]

Special Effects:

① When you keep a blank expression, the mask will automatically accumulate energy, with no upper limit to the amount of energy that can be accumulated.

②When you show an angry expression, all your stored energy will be automatically released, causing a huge boost to your physical attributes. The specific boost depends on the amount of energy stored.

[Note: I usually don't show much expression, but when I do, you'll know... I'm really angry!]

This equipment is quite suitable for the sluggish flamingo.

The sand between the fingers was given a very exquisite-looking hourglass.

【Name: Hourglass of Time】

[Type: Weapon (Special Effects)]

[Attack Power: Extremely Weak (Would you use an hourglass to attack someone? Probably not, right?)]

[Quality: Epic]

Special Effects:

① Turn the hourglass face up, consume 10% sanity, and slow the target's own time flow by 50% for 10 seconds — Cooldown: 30 minutes

② Turn the hourglass upside down, consuming 10% sanity. Increase the time flow rate of the holder and the designated ally by 50% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

③ Violently shake the hourglass, consuming 30% of your sanity. Within a 20-meter radius, time stops for 5 seconds, except for the holder. —Cooldown: 3 hours

[Note: Smash! Valudo!]

These special effects are practically a super-enhanced version of Zhou Ke'er's "The Trickster's Little Tricks" special effect one! This is just too much! Two epic effects in a row, this world is so unfriendly to unlucky players!

As for Zhang He, he obtained a high-quality voodoo doll... Well, its first effect is simply cursing others, nothing special... The second effect is averaging luck with a designated target... This seemingly useless effect, in Zhang He's hands, is practically a city-destroying killer move!

The worst thing is spring drowsiness and autumn fatigue. When Zhou Ke'er saw what she had, she couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and pity, even though that thing was indeed quite suitable for her.

She got a thing called a "nerve-boosting pipe," which was of ordinary quality. Its only effect was... that she wouldn't fall asleep when she had it in her mouth... In a sense, it was indeed very suitable for her.

Everything was going smoothly until... Chen Tian finally stood in front of the empty space with great reluctance.

Nothing has come out of it.

The most ridiculous thing is...

The [Primordial Sword] that had been floating in the air moved slightly, as if it wanted to do something. Luckily, Zhou Ke'er reacted quickly and grabbed it firmly—if it had been sucked into that hole and ended up in Chen Tian's hands...

That scene would be extremely awkward and utterly silent.

This is tantamount to writing on Chen Tian's face, "I have a relationship with Chen Tian! To be honest, I am Chen Tian!" It's practically suicide.

Zhou Ke'er could see that fine beads of sweat had appeared on Chen Tian's temples—this game's realism is just too high!

118. Adhesive tape! Adhesive tape!

"Hehe... well, it seems like none of them suit me..."

Chen Tian forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and mumbled softly.
