Of the three books Lin Xu received, two cannot be used directly for the time being.
Those are the two books that document cutting-edge technologies.
This is all knowledge and data. Although Lin Xu and Xiao Yu's mechanical talents can easily absorb and understand the knowledge inside, they cannot create items without the corresponding materials.
Of the two books, the one on refining altar building materials is slightly simpler. Lin Xu estimates that once the novice period ends and he can freely trade with the outside world, he will be able to quickly obtain the relevant materials for building altars.
However, the technology involved in stun guns is quite advanced, and the materials required are extremely precious. Given Lin Xu's wealth and connections, it would be impossible for him to make a complete stun gun in a short period of time.
We could discuss designing some simplified, degraded versions with Xiaoyu, and start trying to manufacture them once we can buy materials from outside.
Lin Xu could immediately use the first of the three books, the book on swordsmanship inheritance, without any hindrance.
At that moment, he didn't hesitate and slammed the book on his head.
The next moment, the sword technique inheritance book exploded with a bang, revealing many mysterious symbols that then flooded into Lin Xu's head.
Lin Xu felt a surge of knowledge about swordsmanship suddenly flooding his mind.
This includes how to use various swords, some mysterious and profound sword techniques, and also an instinct to manipulate the north wind by consuming physical strength.
This is also the beauty of this swordsmanship tradition.
This kind of inheritance can stimulate a person's vitality and give birth to a power similar to superpowers, allowing people to use longswords to control the north wind.
Lin Xu received this indoctrination of knowledge and instinct for about twenty minutes, and then he felt a jolt in his mind, waking up from that feeling of being enlightened.
Looking around, he noticed that Xiaoyu and Taoyao were looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and worry.
After all, he had just stood there motionless, as if he had encountered some kind of trouble.
Lin Xu waved slightly to the little elf girl to indicate that he was alright, then looked down at his hands.
He had previously obtained the swordfish's loot and thought that these sword-forging materials were not of much use for the time being.
Unexpectedly, he soon inherited a set of sword techniques.
I guess this is what they call fate.
In addition to boomerangs, he now uses swordsmanship as his primary weapon.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xu flipped his hand and took out a swordfish drop, which was a sword spine.
Even without processing, this thing is still sword-shaped and can be used as a longsword.
Lin Xu held the object, recalling the power inherited in his mind, and then pointed it out into the distance.
The next moment, a fierce wind suddenly rose from the spine of the sword in his hand, swirling and surging forward, creating horizontal cracks in the ground.
Now, with the island blocks stacked multiple times, the ground is quite solid.
However, the fact that such cracks could still appear under the north wind released by Lin Xu shows that the power of this move was obviously not weak.
Moreover, this move is quick to execute and has an attack range of at least thirty meters, making it a ranged attack.
Lin Xu examined himself and found that using this move had consumed some stamina, but there were no other losses.
He nodded in satisfaction.
The swordsmanship inherited from Shuofeng, although containing many sword moves and techniques, is actually more like a special spell that utilizes the north wind.
The longsword is the staff used to manipulate this magic.
With this inheritance, he can expend physical strength to control the north wind, which is essentially the same as having wind-based superpowers.
For ordinary people, this "Summoning the North Wind" move consumes a great deal of physical strength and they simply cannot sustain it for more than a few moves.
But for Lin Xu, the source of physical strength is vitality. He is still lacking in other abilities, but he has more than enough vitality.
Therefore, he can use the move of summoning the north wind as a regular method.
The basic attack is the ultimate move; just ask your opponent if they're scared.
Lin Xu can now control the Shuofeng, and theoretically he can also remotely control the improved machine gun. At this moment, he tried it with the sword spine and found that it was indeed so.
However, when it comes to perception, compared to Xiaoyu's perception range of several kilometers, Lin Xu's current perception is still very limited. At most, he can only perceive the airflow within a hundred meters around him, and he also needs to hold a sword in his hand during this time.
It seems that Xiaoyu will still have to play the role of the island's radar for now, and no one can replace her.
Lin Xu put away the sword spine. He decided that Xiao Yu would forge more swordfish swords in the future and then use her talent to stack them up.
If he had a high-end longsword, his ability to control the wind would also be improved, giving him another trump card.
After making these arrangements, Lin Xu turned his attention to the last type of reward.
The rewards in the ruins, besides the three books and the ordinary materials, also included a compass.
Upon seeing this compass, Lin Xu immediately recalled what the orca mother had dropped after her death.
That was also a compass.
Without much deduction, Lin Xu knew that the two compasses were likely similar in many ways.
At this moment, he examined the compass that had fallen from the dark ruins, and a look of joy appeared on his face:
Disposable Terrain Compass
[Introduction: This is also a rare treasure, but it can only be used once. What are you thinking? I told you not to make any strange modifications to it!]
[Function: If a corresponding terrain feature is provided, this compass will search for the coordinates of a large area of loose soil corresponding to that terrain. Once the corresponding terrain is found, this compass will disappear.]
Lin Xu looked at the compass instructions, his eyes flashing with thoughtful light.
This terrain compass is similar to the ruins compass; both can be used to search for corresponding resources.
Moreover, the descriptions of the two compasses are almost identical, and both are disposable.
However, the more the instructions on the compass told him not to modify it, the more curious he became about what would happen if he successfully modified it.
If two compasses can be superimposed to enhance their functionality, then he will have a more powerful compass, making it easier to explore various resources in the future.
Thinking of this, Lin Xu didn't delay and took out the other relic compass as well.
Then, Lin Xu activated his stacking talent, slowly bringing the two compasses closer together.
Lin Xu has already tried it; if you put two items with very poor compatibility close together, you can't make the talent take effect and force the fusion.
This talent will only take effect if two items are highly correlated and have the potential to be combined and stacked.
At this moment, Lin Xu looked at the compass with some tension, not wanting his fusion to fail.
The next moment, he was not disappointed.
When the two compasses touched each other, there was no mutual repulsion or any bad situation.
Instead, the two compasses were placed side by side and then stacked up more and more, eventually becoming a fused compass.
The Mysterious Compass with Double Superposition
[Introduction: What have you done?! You've overturned yet another world rule!]
[Function: This compass seems to have undergone some kind of miraculous change, now possessing the characteristics of two compasses! It can now search both terrain and ruins; simply place the relevant items on the compass to activate it.]
[Number of uses: 10]
Lin Xu looked at the new compass and smiled.
