Chapter 256 A Level 5 Equipment That Can Backstab? The Power of the World's Origin?

Seeing Xiao Ke eating happily made Wang Changsheng unhappy.

"Flying Wild Boar, can you stop just eating?"

While eating, Xiao Ke also took the time to glare at Wang Changsheng.

Message: Your friendly exchange made Xiao possibly eat three more bowls of rice.

Message: You have obtained a level 5 magic item – Backstab Armor!

Message: This item has been added to the All-Heavens Friendly Exchange Shop, priced at Negative Points/item.

Backstab Armor

Description: An extremely powerful magical equipment. Due to its special nature, it possesses defensive strength almost equivalent to a level six magical equipment, enough to withstand a large amount of damage for you.

Ability: When worn, all external attacks aimed at you will be absorbed by the Backstab Armor.

PS: But please don't let it take too much damage for you, otherwise if it takes too many hits, this armor might backstab you!

PS1: Backstab means exactly what it says. It really means backstabbing you. It will double the damage you suffered. Please be aware of its limits.

PS2: This limit is composed of many factors, but as a user of Backstab Armor, you will be aware of it before it is reached.

Wang Changsheng: "ツ?"

What is backstabbing?

Wang Changsheng was completely dumbfounded when he saw the system's introduction.

So, as this guy's owner, I let him take so many beatings for me, and then he betrays me?

What a load of rubbish!

Seriously impressive!

Where can I find such magical equipment?

At most, other things can't withstand the damage and will break on their own, but this one is different; it couldn't withstand the damage itself and directly caused double the damage to its owner.

Double the return!

Taking a deep breath, Wang Changsheng calmed himself down.

"No, everything in this world has its use."

"If I feel that this magical item has no use, it's because I haven't thought of any way to use it."

Wang Changsheng pondered to himself, stroking his chin. Soon, a brilliant idea popped into his mind.

"Since this is a double-edged sword, why must its owner be me?"

Wang Changsheng had a new idea.

This is, after all, a level 5 piece of equipment, and it even has defensive capabilities comparable to level 6 defensive equipment.

So if a fight breaks out, they should be able to take a lot of damage.

He would throw it out when the backstab armor was almost absorbed enough damage.

Regardless of whether his opponent has the armor or not, he will deal additional damage.

Since Wang Changsheng has not yet tested this armor, he cannot determine in what form its backstab attack on the user takes.

Of course, if his opponent can hold the frontal armor in their hands, it doesn't seem to matter what form it takes.

Wang Changsheng couldn't help but think of a scene.

He fled in a panic, even throwing his protective gear in the process. Then his enemy let out a strange, cackling laugh and grabbed his armor.

Then, take the opportunity to unleash a magical finishing blow.

The enemy, laughing arrogantly in a contemptuous tone, said, "I'll use your armor to block your damage!"

then……

"Ah! You attacked me from behind!"

The thought that this situation might actually happen in a fight in the future made Wang Changsheng want to laugh.

"Xiao Wang, what's wrong?"

By this time, Sakura had finished chatting with Tomoyo.

She didn't stop Wang Changsheng and Xiao Ke from playing around because Xiao Ke seemed to be too busy eating to bully Wang Changsheng, so she didn't interfere.

However, Sakura's peripheral vision kept lingering on Wang Changsheng.

After he finished talking about Xiao Ke, he was stunned for a moment, then happy, and then seemed to be holding back a laugh.

Sakura initially wanted to say she didn't understand and wanted to look at it again, but she couldn't help but ask him.

"Huh? What's wrong? Well, nothing's wrong. I just think I found some interesting magical equipment in the spellbook again, and I think it's quite interesting."

Hearing Xiaoying's voice, Wang Changsheng came back to his senses, then smiled and waved to her, indicating that he was fine.

"Ah, another new magical equipment has been unlocked?" Sakura's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Xiao Ke paused in her scooping of cake, glancing sideways at Wang Changsheng: "What have you gotten this time, you brat?"

After saying that, it scooped up another spoonful of chocolate sauce, mixed it with cream, and put it in its mouth.

This way of eating is so sweet it's sickening; anyone who sees it would get goosebumps.

Since Wang Changsheng always received all sorts of rewards, he had already explained to Xiaoying and Xiaoke that all the magic and equipment were attributed to his incredibly magical magic book.

Anyway, this is a world of magic, and there's no way that Kero and Sakura could discover their own system, so they can say whatever they want.

You have to believe it or not; there's nothing you can do if you don't.

If they don't believe it, how can they explain Wang Changsheng's endless methods and tools?

Of course, neither Sakura nor Kero actually meant to disbelieve.

Sakura naturally trusted her best friend.

Xiao Ke, on the other hand, believed that Wang Changsheng, that brat, must have an extremely terrifying power or background behind him, which was why that magic book had such powerful abilities.

This can be seen as a way of indirectly believing Wang Changsheng's explanation.

"It's a good thing, do you want to use it?" Wang Changsheng looked at Xiao Ke and gave her a genuine, innocent smile.

"Eek..." However, when Xiao Ke looked at Wang Changsheng's smile, she suddenly shivered and a chill rose in her heart.

It instinctively shook its head in refusal: "No need."

Could this brat really be so kind-hearted?

Xiao Ke's vigilance immediately surged.

It felt that the new item Wang Changsheng had acquired was either extremely flawed or simply a harmful, cursed object.

In short, it can't be anything good.

Otherwise, why would he not use it himself, nor give it to Sakura and Tomoyo, but instead ask himself if he wanted to use it first?

There's a ghost.

Something's definitely fishy!

"Tch, forget it." Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes.

After watching Tomoyo carefully put the golden brocade pouch back into the box, he chatted with Sakura for a while.

Seeing that the two had finished speaking, Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking a question that he had been curious about for a long time.

"Tomoyo, you said this cherry blossom was a gift from Sakura's mother to your mother when she got married, right?"

Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's sudden question, Zhi Shi paused for a moment, then blinked and nodded at Wang Changsheng, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"When Sakura's mother got married, Touya hadn't even been born yet. That was so many years ago. So much time has passed, why does this flower still not look rotten or withered?" Wang Changsheng's gaze shifted from the flower to Tomoyo and Sakura.

"Huh? This..." Zhi Shi seemed surprised that Wang Changsheng would suddenly ask such a question, and was also taken aback.

Sakura, who was standing nearby, realized what was going on, blinked her big eyes, and nodded in confusion. "Yeah, I also felt something was off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it! How could this flower have survived for so many years? Didn't the teacher say that untreated flowers wither within a few days of being picked?"

Message: Your friendly exchange has sparked questions among the characters regarding the fundamental nature of the world, which may lead to unexpected changes at some point now or in the future.

Message: You have obtained a cosmic-level item—the power of the world's origin (one drop)!

Message: This item has been added to the All-Heavens Friendly Exchange Shop, priced at Negative Points/drop.

The power of the world's origin

Introduction: The legendary source that can give rise to a world.

Ability: Evolution.

Effect 1: If the target unit is an inanimate object, it can be given a certain mysterious attribute.

Effect 2: If the target unit is a living being, it can cause that life form to undergo a mysterious transformation.

Effect 3: If the target unit is space, it will accelerate the growth of the space.

PS: The degree of evolution is linked to the amount of primal power and the strength of the target unit. This item is very precious, so please use it wisely.

PS1: Although it is a cosmic-level item, its effects will be greatly reduced because there is only one drop.

PS2: Although you can buy it, it's expensive. Rather than being ripped off, you might as well just fight someone else for it.

"(=°Д°=)!"

The series of system prompts left Wang Changsheng completely bewildered.

"The power of the world's origin?? It can actually yield such a wonderful treasure!" Wang Changsheng was stunned.

But when he saw the price tag on the back of the item, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, brothers, fathers..."

Wang Changsheng counted them up briefly. Although this thing hadn't reached the ancestral level yet, it was only a little short.

That's absolutely true.

Wang Changsheng was convinced once again.

A single drop of primordial power costs 100 million negative points. Who can afford that?

Wang Changsheng said he couldn't afford it.

However, after glancing at the system's final message, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Can the power of the world's origin be stolen?

Who are we competing with?

Wang Changsheng narrowed his dark, deep eyes, which were like a bottomless pool.

Could this system be implying that it's trying to seize the power of origin from the world it's currently in?

Isn't this implying that he should hurry up and go to his death?

Who has the right to control the fundamental power of this world?

Aside from the world itself, there are probably only a few true great magicians, led by Kuro.

These people probably don't have much primordial power left, because once they reach that point, they will naturally seek it from the outside world.

Do you want him to go and compete with these people?

Let alone the fact that he is still a small, undeveloped mage, even if he were to level up a few more times in the future.

It's hard to say whether he could even defeat Kuro with a single finger!

"This damn system, all it does is seduce people!"

Message: Negative points from the All-Heavens Friendly Exchange System +999

"What?!"

Wang Changsheng muttered something under his breath, but then the system popped up another negative point. Wang Changsheng's eyes widened in shock.

"The system can give me negative points? What is this system? No, it's not really a thing, but no, it is definitely a thing..."

Wang Changsheng continued muttering to himself for a while.

He also deliberately used his talent for communication to praise the system a few times.

This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!

However, the system did not display any further system-related prompts.

Wang Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

What exactly is going on with this system?

Forget it, there's no use thinking about it too much now.

All my possessions were given to me by others, so who else could they be?

They are my second parents!

He paused, not dwelling on the matter, but instead changing his mind.

These primal forces are precious.

But to only look at quality without discussing dosage is simply dishonest.

If it's just a single drop, using it on his Little World Tree would definitely be a huge waste; the ancestor would have spent the money but wouldn't have gotten the desired effect.

However, if this primal power were given to his pet or used on his current equipment, it would likely cause a significant degradation.

The effect is expected to be very noticeable.

"Chang Sheng, have you discovered something?" Just then, Zhi Shi's voice rang out.

Wang Changsheng's thoughts were also interrupted.

He looked up at Tomoyo with a somewhat blank expression: "Huh? Discovered what? I didn't discover anything."

"????.?????" Tomoyo blinked, her dark purple eyes fixed on Wang Changsheng, staring blankly, but she didn't say anything.

Sakura added, "Since you didn't notice anything, Xiao Wang, what were you muttering to yourself just now?"

Message: Wang Changsheng's negative points +999

He glanced at Sakura with a hint of exasperation: "What do you mean by 'muttering on and on'? I was just thinking about something. Have you made any progress with the flower?"

Wang Changsheng steered the conversation back to the main topic.

Sakura shook her head.

Tomoyo raised a possibility: "Since my box can be possessed by Clow Cards, do you think this flower is also possessed by Clow Cards or something else?"

"No, that shouldn't be the case." Xiao Ke sat cross-legged in the void, frowned, and gently shook her head, denying Zhi Shi's idea.

"The shield has been sealed by us. If there are any other Clow Cards, I'm here, the brat is here, and Sakura is here. We're all so close together, there's no reason why the three of us wouldn't sense the presence of the Clow Cards."

As she spoke, Xiao Ke glanced sideways at Wang Changsheng and asked, "Do you sense any special aura in this bunch of cherry blossoms?"

Wang Changsheng shook his head: "That's why I asked you guys.

"Could it be because of this box?" Tomoyo asked again. "My mother said this box is quite old."

"That's possible. Otherwise, even if the box contains your and your mother's things, it would also contain things that are very precious to other people. There's no reason for it to be attached to this box."

Hearing Tomoyo's guess, Keroberos nodded, thinking it was somewhat possible: "If the box itself has some strange features, then it makes sense. The flowers inside the box can stay fresh for so long without withering, so the shield attached to this box might also have some benefits that we can't perceive, which is why we chose to attach it there."

"Really? But I didn't sense any magical energy at all." Wang Changsheng pouted.

"Neither this flower nor this box has any special aura to me."

At this moment, Sakura scratched her head and said, "It's probably because this box is really old enough that it has developed some kind of spirit. The shield felt comfortable on it and could protect Tomoyo and Aunt Sonomi's belongings, so it attached itself to it."

"That's possible," Xiao Ke said, stroking her round chin and shaking her head.

"Alright, alright, let's close the box quickly. If the cherry blossoms can only be kept fresh because of this box, then leaving it open for so long will only accelerate their withering process." Wang Changsheng didn't intend to continue this topic and told Zhi Shi to close the box.

He had been holding back on this matter for a long time, but he couldn't help asking it out.

He knew perfectly well what was going on; it was all because of this outrageous anime/manga setting.

It has absolutely nothing to do with cherry blossoms or boxes.

But he couldn't possibly tell Sakura and Tomoyo about these things.

The system also hinted that this problem of his could very likely cause certain actions and thoughts that Sakura and her friends might have at some point in the future to change.

He was talking in a very mysterious way.

It sounded rather frightening, so Wang Changsheng quickly stopped the conversation.

After all, who knows if Tomoyo's little box is actually some high-end item that he himself can't tell?

All of these are possible.
