Chapter 42 Spiritual Pattern Master
After a cheerful chat, everyone returned to their seats and rested while absorbing the crystal cores.
Yu Yao and Chi Heng came to the corridor on the 16th floor, sat against the wall opposite the two offices where their teammates were resting, and kept watch all night.
Time passed by minute by minute, and neither Yu Yao nor Chi Heng spoke a word, just standing quietly in the corridor.
The distance between the two was not far. Chi Heng leaned his head against the wall, and his hands on his knees moved again and again.
Yu Yao was staring blankly, but unexpectedly Chi Heng suddenly spoke.
"Xiao Qi."
"Um?"
Hearing Yu Yao's response, Chi Heng was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you...afraid of betrayal..."
"......Um."
Isn’t this nonsense!
After Yu Yao finished speaking, Chi Heng fell silent again.
After a while, he asked, "Were you scared when you tried to save Ah Xian?"
Yu Yao was slightly stunned and did not respond.
Chi Heng continued: "Although we have only known each other for more than a day, I can see that you have a secret that you are trying hard to hide. You don't trust us that much."
"......"
"But I trust you, it's inexplicable."
"?"
"You don't believe me?"
"Um."
If they were innocent and stupid college students, Yu Yao might believe what they said a little.
Although their impression of her had been increasing over the past two days, she still didn't trust them that much.
Chi Heng chuckled, "I understand, people like us are really hard to trust. If we talk about it in a normal way, my attitude is not right either."
According to common sense, shouldn't he give her some thank-you gift and send her away to prevent her from pestering him again?
Why did they have to pester her?
Chi Heng paused for a few seconds and then said, "Can I see the palm of your hand?"
"???"
Yu Yao turned her head and stared at Chi Heng in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Palm reading?
Chi Heng was also a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, your appearance made me think of someone inexplicably. Is there a very shallow red mark on your palm?"
Hearing this, Yu Yao suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at him, and she subconsciously hid her hand.
Seeing her reaction, Chi Heng understood everything.
"It seems that there is..."
Yu Yao stood up quickly and wanted to stay away from him.
Chi Heng raised his hand, then put it down, saying, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions... In fact, I used to hate that thing because I don't believe in fate and I hate the shackles tied to my body."
"What on earth do you want to say!"
Chi Heng shook his head. "I don't know either. I heard those things when I was very young. Over the years, I have almost forgotten them. I only remember one sentence: the blood curse contract cannot be betrayed."
"?"
Yu Yao was so shocked that she didn't even bother to listen to what Chi Heng was saying.
Because there was indeed a very shallow blood line on the palm of her hand, which could not be noticed at all if you didn't look carefully.
Moreover, this blood line followed her into this body!
The original owner didn’t exist!
Why does Chi Heng know!
What blood curse contract!
Yu Yao's heart was beating very fast and her hands and feet began to feel cold unconsciously.
Chi Heng raised his head and looked at her, his eyes calm and reassuring.
"Can I see it?"
Yu Yao didn't listen to him, but just frowned and remained silent for a long time.
Chi Heng did not urge her until she seemed to have made up her mind, slowly walked towards him, and stretched out her left hand.
"You, do you know this blood line?"
In fact...she herself was also very curious, because this was something that suddenly appeared before she went to college in her previous life.
I went to many doctors and they all said it was fine.
She then put it aside.
Chi Heng didn't touch her hand, but just stared at the almost invisible blood line for a long time.
Then suddenly laughed.
"It's you."
"?"
Under Yu Yao's puzzled gaze, Chi Heng quietly pulled out a dagger.
"I once made up my mind that once I find you, I will kill you immediately!"
He looked up into Yu Yao's eyes, and seeing her suddenly alert look, he lowered his eyes and continued, "But don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I have changed my mind."
He slowly stood up and stood opposite Yu Yao.
Yu Yao watched him place the dagger in his palm, and without changing his expression, he cut a bloody mark on his palm that was faintly visible with white bones.
Then, in the face of her surprised look and before she could step back, he gently grabbed her left hand.
At the moment when the blood dripped onto the blood line on her palm, he suddenly recited a spell that Yu Yao could not understand.
The next moment, a strong golden light turned into complex runes that swirled around the two of them.
Spin, jump, and cruise.
After a while, it finally transformed into two streaks of golden light and penetrated into the brows of Yu Yao and Chi Heng respectively.
Yu Yao's pupils gradually dilated.
Blood Curse Contract.
Who is he?
Although Yu Yao did not understand the power of the contract, the energy of the contract told her.
Once a blood curse is formed, it cannot be betrayed.
Once Chi Heng had bad intentions towards her, she could destroy him with just a thought!
The prerequisite is that he has bad intentions.
"What...is wrong with you???" Yu Yao's voice was a little out of tune!
"In many people's minds, people like us have no bottom line, even I think so. No one can be sure that I will suddenly have bad intentions one day. In this case, let's just solve the problem from the source. In the future, I will keep them under control, and they will not hurt you, so you can rest assured."
Yu Yao frowned and looked at the bloody curse on the palm of her hand which suddenly deepened and then slowly disappeared. Her brain completely shut down.
What kind of world had she traveled to?
And this blood curse contract! What on earth is it! What does Chi Heng have to do with me!!!
"Who the hell are you? What does it have to do with me?"
"I don't know. I only know that as long as the blood curse contract is activated, I can't betray you."
At this point, he suddenly chuckled, "People, sometimes you really can't help but believe in fate. As for what the connection between us is, we can slowly look for it later, because I am also very curious."
He admitted that he had selfish motives.
Doing this is the fastest way to gain Yu Yao's trust. She will also be less nervous and be able to integrate into their group as quickly as possible.
No feelings?
There will be in the future.
No ties?
He just tied it up!
Ji Yan, the military, there are too many people who want to snatch her away.
Someone has to be brave enough to take the first step to gain her trust.
Yu Yao didn't seem excited, and she even couldn't understand.
Are all mercenaries so cruel?
She frowned, "Aren't you afraid that I have bad intentions?"
"I'm not afraid. Although the blood curse contract is overbearing, it is just an insurance, not a dog chain tied to me. As long as I don't have bad intentions, you can't do anything to me. If I do, it's my own fault."
Would he really be so stupid as to easily put his life in the hands of others?
This is just a means of restraint, and what is restrained is only his own evil thoughts.
"What about the others?"
"They can live well even without me."
Yu Yao sneered, "But they will want to kill me."
Chi Heng smiled lightly, and everything was illuminated.
"In that case, I can't have any bad intentions towards you. Otherwise, it will harm all of us, right?"
Yu Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you want? You can pretend you don't know, or spend more time together before you tell me!"
Chi Heng looked at her seriously, "I just want to hold on to you as much as possible. If I act too late, I might miss you."
If nothing is done, she will most likely leave early.
By then, he would have no chance to do anything.
But if they had done so and she still wanted to leave, it could only mean that they really had no ability to keep her, and no one else could be blamed.
"......"
Yu Yao's brows were tightly knitted together, and she just wanted to curse.
Careless!
Extremely sloppy!
"......You are sick." Yu Yao was unusually calm. After holding it in for a long time, she said this from the bottom of her heart.
Unexpectedly, Chi Heng actually laughed out loud after hearing this.
He laughed for a long time, his laughter gradually rose from low to high, and his laughter was clear and pleasant. It was the first time that Yu Yao had seen him laugh like this since she had seen him.
He said: "If you are not sick, you can't do our job."
"......"
Just be happy.
......
Soon, time passed midnight and a new day arrived.
Yu Yao, who had calmed down, leaned against the wall and casually clicked to sign in.
After a few seconds, she opened her eyes in surprise.
This system works, and I signed in some good stuff again!
Because of Chi Heng's magical blood curse contract, her sign-in reward today was called "Divine Pattern Master Inheritance".
It seems that the system sign-in and the equipment that explodes are all related to what is happening at the moment and the people around you!
In the online game "Defy Fate", there is an extremely rare and precious profession called "Spirit Pattern Master".
That is to engrave spiritual patterns onto equipment to enhance the additional capabilities and upper limit of the equipment.
In the hands of a top-level divine engraver, even an ordinary ring of the lowest level can be upgraded to a divine artifact-level treasure.
The level of the spirit pattern is determined by the player's character level.
In other words, Yu Yao is now level 14, so she can only engrave level 10 spiritual patterns on her equipment at most.
When her level exceeds 100, she will automatically advance to a top-level divine pattern master, and can easily create divine weapons with the help of refining equipment.
Wonderful!
In this way, she can add spiritual patterns to existing equipment, improve additional attributes and quality limits.
The combat effectiveness has been taken to a new level!
Yu Yao immediately chose to integrate the Divine Pattern Master's inheritance.
The next second, she felt a huge amount of energy in her brain, making her dizzy.
Chi Heng noticed her abnormality immediately and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
For a moment, he wondered if the blood curse contract had side effects on her body.
Yu Yao's dizziness only lasted for two or three seconds, and she also regained all her memories about the Spirit Pattern Master.
She looked at Chi Heng, her clear eyes shining like stars, and a smile on the corners of her lips.
"I'm fine, it was just an accident." She spoke in a relaxed tone, not like someone who was in trouble at all.
But Chi Heng was still unsure, "Are you really okay? I can be the only one on guard, you can go and rest."
Yu Yao waved her hands and said, "It's really okay. I'm really not tired and I can't sleep."
"...What about you just now?"
The concern in Chi Heng's eyes didn't seem fake. Yu Yao thought about it, and the two villains in her mind were fighting fiercely.
One of them was saying, why tell him so much? Aren't you afraid that he might have bad intentions?
One of them said, the blood curse contract has been signed, how could he have any bad intentions?
How can a person who can make a blood curse contract be an ordinary person?
Moreover, as time goes by, many things will always be exposed. It is better to say it in advance to avoid the effort of covering it up.
Finally, he decided to tell Chi Heng the truth.
"Have you ever heard of a Spiritual Pattern Master?"
"What?" Chi Heng obviously had never heard of it.
Yu Yao thought for a moment and continued, "I have never told you that I have another special ability called 'Soul Extraction'."
Chi Heng looked at Yu Yao quietly, although he didn't understand what "extracting spirits" meant.
But he didn't open his mouth to urge her to ask, but waited for her to speak slowly.
Seeing this, Yu Yao continued.
"When killing zombies or mutated animals and plants, you use your supernatural powers to extract their remaining energy and condense it into various equipment or items. For example, the protective barrier that popped out of Ah Mei's body when she was in danger came from a talisman."
Chi Heng's eyelashes twitched slightly, and his expression was dazed for a moment.
"Kill monsters and get equipment?"
Almost the same response as Luo Mei.
Yu Yao couldn't help laughing, "Yeah, Ah Mei asked the same question at that time."
Chi Heng paused and smiled.
"I didn't expect there was such a magical power."
"...Well, the abilities of psychics...are all kinds of strange and bizarre."
Chi Heng nodded slightly without comment.
"I didn't expect you to have such a miraculous ability, but for your own safety, don't reveal it to others easily."
"Of course, I won't tell anyone else."
Chi Heng curled his lips slightly and asked, "So what does this have to do with the Spiritual Pattern Master you mentioned?"
"Don't you know? In fact, the curse seal you just used is similar to the spiritual pattern. The only difference is that one uses blood as a guide, and the other requires energy."
Yu Yao paused, feeling that it would be even more troublesome to explain.
He simply took out a platinum ring and a transparent crystal core that he had picked up at random from the mall from the space.
Control them to fly in front of him, and then under Chi Heng's curious gaze.
The inherited memory that he had just obtained was mobilized in his mind.
The essence of spiritual patterns is actually to extract energy from crystal cores.
Then, through the ability of the spirit pattern master, it is condensed into different spirit patterns.
Different spiritual patterns have different functions, and the additional properties of the spiritual patterns are limited by the properties of the extracted crystal core.
In other words, if Yu Yao wants to engrave an inscription on the equipment to increase the fire-type ability attack, she can only extract energy from the fire-type crystal core.
If she wanted to engrave a spatial inscription, she could only extract energy from the transparent crystal core. The strength of the inscription was limited by the level of the crystal core and the level of the spirit pattern master.
......
After thinking about the inscription she wanted to engrave, Yu Yao flipped her hands and began to make seals quickly.
Chi Heng watched her jade-white fingertips making complex and mysterious hand prints, which was inexplicably beautiful.
Soon after, a dazzling light was extracted from the transparent crystal core.
Then they transformed into unknown characters that were shining with light, jumped out from her fingertips that were constantly making seals, and lined up and obediently entered the ring.
The ring shone brightly as a result, and it continued to shine until the last character sank into it, then it retracted its light and slowly fell into Yu Yao's palm.
The plain ring that had just been so ordinary became more refined and lustrous, carrying an inexplicable mysterious energy.
Yu Yao checked the quality of the ring.
A level 10 space ring with a space size of 10 square meters. It has no time-stopping function and cannot preserve freshness or store living things.
Tsk, that’s really not good!
Yu Yao frowned in disdain and placed the ring in front of the stunned Chi Heng.
"I'm not capable enough right now. I can only make some simple equipment. Take a look."
Chi Heng stared at Yu Yao's pale face, slowly raised his hand to take the ring, and then his pupils slowly dilated.
"This is?"
"Have you ever heard of Taoist talismans, or the inscriptions in immortal cultivation novels?"
Chi Heng nodded: "Yeah."
"This is similar to the principle of talismans, both of which involve engraving runes with different functions onto a carrier. If engraved on talisman paper, it becomes a talisman, and if engraved on clothing, accessories, or weapons, it becomes equipment with special abilities."
As she spoke, Yu Yao took out a blasting talisman and explained, "This is an attack talisman. Once you input your supernatural power to activate it, it will be equivalent to the combined power of ten grenades."
Chi Heng took the blasting talisman and observed it carefully, and found that the flexible yellow paper was covered with complex and difficult to understand characters.
It was somewhat similar to the characters that popped up from Yu Yao's fingertips just now, yet seemed a little different.
Yu Yao continued, "Spiritual Pattern Masters can empower ordinary equipment, and can also empower some...special equipment dropped by killing monsters to improve their quality."
Chi Heng lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time while holding the blasting talisman.
Then he naturally returned the freshly made space ring and blasting talisman to Yu Yao, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for telling me this."
Yu Yao put away the blasting talisman and played with the space ring, saying in a relaxed tone: "If there is something you don't want to say, you can't hide it forever." No.
She must keep the matter of the game system secret for the rest of her life.
However, she has to find reasonable reasons for all the special abilities brought by the game.
Chi Heng looked at Yu Yao deeply and said, "Your abilities are too special. Try not to expose them to others in the shortest possible time. Human nature is greedy and terrible, and no one can afford to test it. If it must be exposed in the future, you can push it onto us."
Listening to him repeatedly reminding me of this matter, he was willing to take the initiative to bring trouble upon himself.
Yu Yao's pretty eyes slightly raised and she smiled.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to take the blame for me."
Chi Heng's fingertips moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his delicate and cold face.
"Don't blame us for stealing your limelight when the time comes."
Yu Yao waved her hands quickly, "Forget it, I can't enjoy this blessing."
Chi Heng's chest shook and he laughed softly.
