Chapter 392: "Prop Name": The Apple of Eden._4
"No."
Chen Yi patted his stomach, let out a satisfied belch, and with a hint of regret, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and shook his head, "I didn't get one either, but it's fine. Later, we'll have Sword Without End look for some players who did and buy a few to see what effects they have."
Although those three apples didn't have a satiating effect,
eating three apples in quick succession can still tire out the mouth, just like getting tired from eating on regular days.
It's like eating tofu dipped in chili powder; you get tired before you get full.
"That's true."
Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly broke into a grin, "Just buy some later, that's the charm of having wads of cash."
And at that moment—
Jiaye, sitting off to the side, raised an eyebrow and squinted his eyes like crescents, lifting a red apple in his hand that looked like a mold, his lips slightly curving up, "Are you talking about this?"
"Hmm?"
Chen Yi looked at Jiaye with surprise and took the apple from his hand, breaking into a laugh, "You actually got one? There are only 1000 in the whole world, and you got one. You're pretty lucky, huh?"
"Not bad, looks like you're my little lucky star."
And as the effect of the Prop was projected into the air,
Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others suddenly started breathing heavily.
「Prop Name」: Apple of Eden.
「Prop Level」: None.
「Prop Effect」: This can force a player into an Illusory Realm, with an extremely high priority as an Absolute Rule, overriding everything, forcing a player into an Illusory Realm.
And this Illusory Realm can be freely crafted by the owner of the Prop.
It lasts for 6 hours.
After 6 hours, the Illusory Realm will automatically break apart.
It's worth noting that while a player is pulled into the Illusory Realm, the player's real body will be in an absolutely invincible state, unable to be harmed by any person or any Illusory Realm.
「Prop Restrictions」: (1/1) This Prop is a one-time use item and cannot be repaired or have its uses replenished by any means.
「Prop Introduction」: Long, long ago, on this continent there was a fatal Illusionist, who created Eden, telling people there was a place filled with happiness. Until one day in the future, that lie was shattered.
"This..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit's eyes flickered with disbelief, "It's actually an Absolute Attribute Prop?"
"Are you kidding me? An Absolute Attribute Prop, just casually thrown out there? Set as the prize for some minor event? And they released a thousand of them?"
This was a Prop with Absolute Attributes.
Without exception, a Prop with Absolute Attributes was of absolutely invaluable worth.
Like Yi's beach chair.
If you lay on it, you'd be absolutely unkillable, or like the wound Yi once had that was bound by the Bone-Eroding Worm, a wound that absolutely could not heal. In the end, Yi had to waste one of his Seed Player opportunities to descend to hell and come back before he could heal that wound.
Otherwise, that wound would never have healed.
That was the allure of an Absolute Attribute.
And now.
A Prop with an Absolute Attribute, tossed out like it was nothing.
"It's not as exaggerated as you think."
Jiaye, on the other hand, didn't look too excited, "Although it's an Absolute Attribute, it's only about forcibly pulling a player into an Illusory Realm. Moreover, while the player is in the Illusory Realm, they're in an absolutely invincible state and can't be attacked."
"Basically, it has no effect against enemies."
"Compared to Yi's absolutely unkillable beach chair and that wound that absolutely cannot heal, these two Absolute Attributes are not even on the same level."
"This absolutely familiar prop is much weaker in level."
"At most, it can be used when facing some effect that simply can't be avoided; a teammate can use this prop to pull oneself into the Illusory Realm, thereby gaining half an hour of absolute invincibility."
"The effect of this prop when used on teammates is far greater than when used on enemies."
"Basically, you can consider this prop as having half an hour of absolute invincibility."
"Eh?"
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded thoughtfully, "Sis-in-law, you've actually given a new perspective; it does seem like it can only be used as a six-hour absolute invincibility. Viewing it this way, it indeed seems much less impressive than Yi's effect where he can't be killed as long as he's lying on the chair."
"It doesn't seem that precious anymore."
"No... "
Chen Yi slightly squinted his eyes, as if suddenly having an idea, and grinned, "I suddenly have a great idea. What do you think about using this prop to pull that final battle opponent into the Illusory Realm when the decisive battle arrives?"
"Uh... "
Tuberculosis Rabbit scratched his head in puzzlement, "Even if you pull them into the Illusory Realm, it doesn't seem to be of any use, right? The player pulled in would be absolutely invincible, and Yi, you wouldn't be able to kill him during that time either."
"No."
Chen Yi shook his head, his eyes gradually sparkling with shrewdness, "I don't plan to kill him within this half-hour. I'm going to construct a story for him during this half-hour, a live-action VR story."
"A story where he kills me in the final battle, then wins the ultimate victory and returns with the beauty, and then, on the night of newfound love, the beauty pulls out a knife—how about that?"
"Winning the beauty?"
Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly realized, excitement swirling in his eyes, "I get your plan, Yi. You intend to make the final battle opponent believe he has killed you in the Illusory Realm, and then fabricate some system announcements or such."
"Make the player think it's all over."
"After the decisive battle, the player will finally let down his guard, and then slowly you can have him fall in love with a woman. The most important factor in killing this player is to make him aware of the presence of danger, and then with this woman..."
"Exactly."
Chen Yi smiled, interrupting Tuberculosis Rabbit, "The basic idea is there, but we still need to plan the details, details that make the Illusory Realm seem more real, as well as a script that can draw the player deeper into it."
"We can't kill him in the Illusory Realm."
"My plan is that, as the woman draws the knife, the Illusory Realm just happens to end."
"For example, we can design some scenes in the Illusory Realm where the woman likes to draw the knife and play SM with the rival player, then during the duration of the Illusory Realm, we can set up an identical scene around it. The moment the Illusory Realm ends, we can have our person there to seamlessly continue the live-action."
"A perfect blend of the Illusory Realm and reality."
"With this set-up, no matter how high their Luck Value is, it would be useless—they'll have to die."
Killing a player with maxed-out Luck Value is really difficult.
As long as the player is unaware of the danger, luck will forcibly help them evade all dangers, which leads to the necessity that if they want to kill this final battle opponent, they must first get the opponent to open their eyes to see the danger.
And SM is a perfect entry point for this.
It poses a certain danger, enough to bypass the judgement of Luck Value.
And yet it's not too dangerous, not enough to make the rival player feel threatened."
"But..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit suddenly hesitated and then spoke, "This prop can only last for six hours, isn't six hours not enough?"
"Indeed."
Chen Yi nodded with a smile, "Six hours is indeed not enough, so our next major task is to collect as many 'Apples of Eden' from other players' hands as possible!"
