The most interesting and fun game setting of "High Energy Ahead" besides the game background is of course its scanning system.

Ordinary items will suddenly transform into props with extraordinary powers in the game.

Although not everything can be scanned, living things will not react at all, and the Small World Game Console and mobile phones cannot be recognized at all.

After exploring for a few days, Ren Suo also discovered that the strength of an item seemed to be closely related to "cognition".

Ordinary, unnamed, and very specific small items, such as kitchen knives, water bottles, and paper towels, can at most evolve into rare items such as the "Dragon Slayer Sword", "Holy Container", and "Purification Talisman".

The more abstract the purpose of an item, or the more fantasy-related it is, the more likely it is that it will show its power after being scanned, such as "Flying Boots", "Three Magatama Eyes", "Kusanagi Family's Flame Gloves", etc.

Epic items are different. To become an epic item, not only must the original value of the item be high (the item embodies the labor success of many people), the fantasy factor must be strong enough. If it has practical uses, it will be greatly enhanced. It is also best if it conforms to public cognition. If it has a little historical and cultural heritage or official background, then it is perfect.

For example, "Hell 4 Game Controller", "Alchemist's Silver Pocket Watch", "Saint's Relic", and "Advanced Countermeasure Vest" basically meet the above characteristics.

So, where are the most common items that have the strongest fantasy factor, have practical uses, are known by over 100 million people, have a long historical and cultural heritage, and even have an official background?

--Buddhism.

The bragging in your cartoons is just about a nuclear explosion with one punch, or the Big Bang caused by rolling a ball. But Buddhism has been bragging about the eternal life, destruction and emptiness, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss hundreds of years ago. The world can be turned upside down in the blink of an eye, life and death can be caused by the palm of your hand, all living beings suffer, one flower is a world, one leaf is a Bodhi. If all these are really realized, then the combat power ceiling of the earth will be enough to be raised to the mythical level, and human beings will be able to leave the earth and realize the sea of ​​stars.

Ren Suo naturally didn't expect to find any super props, but the method used by the cow in "High Energy Ahead" always felt quite strange, so he came to Jinghui Temple to see if there was anything good that could withstand this inexplicable attack.

In addition to Buddhism, Taoism is also a good choice, but there are more temples than Taoist temples in the city, so you can just go to the temple.

Jinghui Temple is also a famous ancient temple in Lianjiang. Inside the temple there is a thousand-year-old pagoda with nine floors outside and seventeen floors inside. Inside the pagoda there are a thousand statues of the Kalpa of Virtue. It is solemn and simple. The appearance of the pagoda is magnificent and spectacular, with hanging bells hanging from the eaves. The pagoda is like a column of flowers and the top of the pagoda is like the heart of a flower, so it is called the Six Banyan Flower Pagoda.

The Main Hall is in front of the pagoda, and the Guanyin Hall is located in the east of the Banyan Garden in front of the Sixth Patriarch Hall. Although the afternoon is not a good time to worship gods, Ren Suo came in and found that there were many believers in the temple and smoke was everywhere. He quickly activated the Xuanjun Secret Record and took out a mask from his backpack.

When Ren Suo was a child, he went to worship gods with his parents and was exposed to the smoke, which caused him to develop rhinitis. It took him several years of nasal washing, acupuncture, and Sanfu plastering to cure it. During those years, Ren Suo had to carry a large bag of tissues to blow his nose when he went to class in winter. Ren Suo felt that the reason he was single in high school was not only because he was a good student who listened to his teachers, but also because of rhinitis.

Incense used for worshipping gods is basically full of harmful substances, which evaporate into the air and are more harmful than second-hand smoke. Ren Suo has not forgotten this, so he prepared defensive props when he came -

"Ghoul Mask"!

Well, it was also something bought from Anime Star City. Ren Suo remembered that he had to wear a mask when visiting the Buddhist temple, but he couldn't find a mask for a while, so he used this prop first. Anyway, it could cover his nose.

Although when he entered Jinghui Temple wearing this mask, the aunties and grandmas next to him looked at him with strange eyes, and voices of "This is the second dimension" and "Are you here to challenge?" floated in his ears from time to time, but Ren Suo did not care. Who would recognize him with the mask on?

There is a big incense burner in the center of the square in front of the Main Hall, which is a full 1.5 meters high. After the aunties and grandmas burn incense and worship in the main hall, they come out and insert the incense into the big incense burner. If they insert the incense in the main hall, let alone the fire problem, the smoke alone can make people dizzy. The Buddha also sees your intention. You can just insert the incense in the incense burner outside. The Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat will eat a big pot meal together.

The air was filled with smoke. Ren Suo endured the smell of incense and moved closer to scan the incense cauldron. When he came out, his eyes were blurry - he was made uncomfortable by the smoke.

"Incense Burner: A mythical item, an incense burner that carries countless wishes and beliefs, and refines 9764 units of divine power. Holding this equipment, the player will get a critical hit every time he attacks (at least ten times), absorb every damage (can be rebounded), and have every negative effect invalidated (can be rebounded). Every judgment will be a great success. Triggering the above effects will consume one unit of divine power, requiring 9764 energy points.

Special Effect - Incense: If the incense furnace still has enough incense, it can continue to refine the divine power.

Special Effect - Sponsor: After obtaining a mythical item with an energy value greater than 1000, it will become the only item to be drawn after uploading the task evaluation (if multiple mythical items appear, it will be drawn from them).

Special Effect - Money Worship: After obtaining a mythical item with an energy value greater than 5000, 40 points will be added to the task evaluation.

Ren Suo's eyes turned red, not because of jealousy, but because of the smoke.

These are all very good, but I don’t like them... No wonder!

With over nine thousand energy points, Ren Suo doubted that even if the explorers slaughtered the entire village, they would not be able to get that many!

After leaving the Incense Burner Square, Ren Suo took a walk around the Main Hall without asking for divination. He walked along the path of the aunties and grandmas who were worshipping Buddha to the Banyan Garden in front of the Sixth Patriarch Hall. There was less incense smell, but more of a smokey atmosphere - there were many stalls here that interpreted divination sticks, read people's faces, and sold auspicious items.

Ren Suo took off his mask and took out his phone to scan the item information.

There are many Taoist priests and fortune tellers in these stalls. It seems that Taoism and Buddhism have shared their resources with each other and made wealth together.

That's true. Since ancient times, people have worshipped Buddha more than sought the truth. Of course, this has nothing to do with the beliefs of the Xuan people. Ren Suo dared to say that most of the aunties and grandmas in front of him had never even heard of the Great Compassion Mantra - but Buddhism has strong marketing capabilities.

However, Ren Suo found that the stalls here seemed a little strange——

"Dream Interpretation of Fairy Palace"

Qitian Algorithm

"Ninety-nine things for seeking the truth: promotion, study, marriage, spiritual practice, everything is possible"

Surprisingly, most of the flags on the stalls here seem to be... related to the Asgard?

Ren Suo walked a little further and saw a shop called "World Tree Divination". The owner was actually a middle-aged woman who used tarot cards for divination!

Ren Suo suspected that if the God of Cookery had nothing to do with all this, then the Female God of Cookery would certainly not escape the disaster as well.

Then when Ren Suo followed the crowd to the front of the Guanyin Temple, he knew he was wrong.

《God of Cookery Divination Strings》

This sign was hung on a snack stall. Ren Suo looked carefully and found that this snack stall was very similar to the one in "Midnight Snack". There were three large plates in the stall. The plates were filled with thick soup, and dozens of bamboo sticks were stuck in them. It was impossible to see what food was stuck on the bamboo sticks.

The owner of the stall seemed to really want to cosplay as the Female God of Cookery, wearing the same apron as the Female God of Cookery. It was a pity that she was a middle-aged woman, sitting in the stall watching TV series on a tablet - this behavior was really like the Female God of Cookery.

Ren Suo went closer to see what the hell it was, and the stall owner immediately said, "Come on, do you want to try the fortune-telling skewers produced by the God of Cookery?"

"How do you tell fortunes?"

"One dollar a skewer, there might be beef meatballs or radish and konjac stuck in it. If you draw a meat skewer, you're lucky, if you draw a vegetarian one, you're unlucky."

That works!

Ren Suo was not hungry, but the stall seemed to be very popular, or maybe the aunties and grandmas had a lot of coins left after spending money on incense outside, and they were hungry, so quite a few people came to patronize it.

There is a trash can next to the ghost stall, which is specially used to hold bamboo sticks. The ground is relatively clean. Maybe this is the reason why the temple is willing to tolerate this snack stall in the name of divination.

"Brother, you look so worried, sit down and have a chat."

Ren Suo turned his head and saw a fortune-telling stall next to the ghost-walking stall. Sitting at the stall was a young man wearing trendy black square-frame glasses and a gray-black scholar's suit. There was a bottle of Yilibao on the table, which looked out of place.

Other stalls at least have middle-aged fortune tellers with moustaches, Taoist robes and whisks. If there is no teapot on the table, at least they use disposable transparent cups to serve tea. What do you mean by putting a bottle of Yibao? Are you having a meeting?

However, Ren Suo sat down at such a particularly unprofessional fortune-telling booth.

Because the banner behind the physiognomist is——

"The Ren family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, authentic fortune-telling, with a long history"

"Marriage, offspring, future and destiny, knowing everything"

The young man noticed Ren Suo's gaze, turned his head and glanced at the flag, then smiled sheepishly: "I'm just trying to get some attention and make a living."

"I understand... haha." Ren Suo couldn't help but laugh.

This banner was indeed correct. The Ren family of the Eastern Han Dynasty were proficient in fortune-telling, and at least they knew exactly their "marriage, offspring, future and destiny" - although all members of the Ren family had fruitless marriages, early death of their offspring, a bumpy future and a miserable fate.

"Your business is not going well, right?"

The young man nodded. "Yeah, I don't know why. Isn't it said that riding on the popularity will make you famous? On the Internet, it's called the 'Rennesser effect'. As long as you have something to do with Rennesser's videos, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Of course no one comes. If you predict someone's fate, they will not feel relieved even if they overturn your stall.

"You should change the name. Even if you just use your name as the stall name, it's better than this." Ren Suo advised.

The young man readily agreed: "Okay, I'll change to 'Wangshu Xiangming' later."

"Then I wish you prosperity." Ren Suo stood up with a smile, but the young man held his hand and said, "It's a courtesy to return the favor. I'm not open today, so I'll help you with your fortune-telling for free."

Ren Suo was stunned at first, then sat down obediently.

He sat down not because he heard the word 'free', but because when the young man touched him, the key search system gave a prompt and found a finished key!

This young man has something interesting!

But Ren Suo had no feeling towards the young man at all, as if the young man was invisible in Ren Suo's perception system. It was not until physical contact that the key search system of the Small World game console suddenly took effect!

However, Ren Suo did not feel the young man's aura of pressure. The other party gave him the feeling of an ordinary person!

"So, what do you want to see? Marriage, future, fortune, or the most popular practice?" The young man smiled and said, "Only one is free."

"I want to... find something." Ren Suo thought for a moment and stated his purpose.

"One thing... Then let me read your palm first."

You didn't even ask me what I was looking for? Ren Suo was slightly stunned. Although he felt that the young man was not very professional, he still spread out his palm obediently.

The young man didn't touch it. He just looked at it for more than ten seconds, then suddenly said, "Go back to the main hall and ask a monk to buy a ritual instrument that has been consecrated. You must specify that you want one that was consecrated by Master Jinghai. It will probably cost several thousand yuan."

Ren Suo stared at the young man in a daze: "Do you really know what I'm looking for?"

As soon as Ren Suo heard about the ritual instrument for consecration, he felt it met his requirements.

Just now he passed by a stall selling magic tools and found that among the so-called consecrated magic tools, there were few epic ones, not even extraordinary ones. Most of them were rare ones, and most of them only had the special effects of "concentrating the mind" and "calming the heart". Ren Suo didn't even look at them.

"Hehe, even though the sign is just for popularity, the ability is real." The young man said proudly.

"You can tell just by looking at your hands?" Ren Suo asked, "Where did you learn this skill? Could it be that you are actually one of those high-level practitioners?"

“I learned it from Ren from the Eastern Han Dynasty.” The young man laughed.
