NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17:
Chapter 17:
Lin Liang had no idea how many viewers he had. But based on the fact that his emotional points had reached 4,000, he guessed there must be at least two or three thousand people watching. It was a simple calculation: one person only generates a couple of emotional points from watching a video. So if he had reached 4,000, there had to be thousands of viewers!
Besides, not everyone watching would necessarily contribute emotional points. However, Lin Liang didn’t dwell on this too much. After all… it didn’t really matter to him.
“System, use all the emotional points to redeem a reward!”
Last time, with only 1,000 emotional points, he randomly received the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique… Now, with 4,000 emotional points… Lin Liang didn’t dare to imagine what he might get!
[Ding! Your reward has been issued!]
[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: ‘Formless Weapon Spirit’!!!!]
[The ‘Formless Weapon Spirit’ has automatically bonded with the host!!!!]
The system’s voice rang out. Lin Liang was dumbfounded.
“Formless Weapon Spirit? What the heck is that?” He wondered aloud. Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation, like a tremor in his soul! Upon activating his Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, he sensed a small, greyish spirit swimming within his consciousness, like a lively little fish. The moment it sensed Lin Liang’s awareness, it became excited, darting around joyfully, as if eager to get closer to him.
As soon as Lin Liang’s consciousness made contact with the Formless Weapon Spirit, he suddenly understood what it was.
“Just by willing it, I can make it appear in the outside world?” Lin Liang thought, deciding to give it a try.
“Come out, Formless!” he silently commanded.
In the next instant, the Formless Weapon Spirit materialized in front of him! The grey little spirit, now outside, seemed even more thrilled. It flew around Lin Liang, darting up and down in excitement.
Still, Lin Liang had no idea what it was useful for. However, given that the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique was drawn with just 1,000 emotional points, and this spirit had cost him 4,500… it had to be something extraordinary!
While it appeared somewhat random, higher emotional points should generally result in better rewards. The first time getting the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique was probably a beginner’s bonus. But still… 4,000 points had to guarantee something good!
Watching this little spirit move around like a four- or five-year-old child—or perhaps a pet dog—Lin Liang decided to ask the ever-reliable system for more details.
“System, what exactly is this thing? Four thousand emotional points… at least give me some user instructions, right?” Lin Liang muttered. “It’s not like the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, where I knew what it was as soon as I heard the name!”
To his relief, the system responded to his request.
[Ding! Here is an introduction to the ‘Formless Weapon Spirit’!]
[The Formless Weapon Spirit is a versatile spirit that is not bound to any specific object! It can attach itself to any tangible item!
With its enhancement, the host will be able to wield any weapon or tool with perfect mastery, as though being divinely assisted! It can even add extraordinary abilities to those objects!
When used with sacred or divine artifacts that already possess special powers, it will significantly amplify their effects!
Additionally, the spirit possesses a certain level of intelligence and will grow over time!]
Hearing the explanation, Lin Liang nodded thoughtfully.
“Hmm… sounds kind of amazing.”
After the system’s detailed description, he understood its function completely. The spirit could enhance any object he used, giving it magical buffs and creating a soul connection!
However, to fully understand the potential of this 4,000-point reward, Lin Liang decided to test it out. His gaze fell upon his bed.
“Formless! Go!” he commanded.
The grey spirit, thrilled by Lin Liang’s order, darted toward his Simmons bed in an instant and vanished into it.
At this moment, Lin Liang felt like he had forged a mysterious connection with his bed—almost like the way cultivators in fantasy novels forged bonds with their flying swords. The bed felt like an extension of his own body! He could control it to become softer or firmer, move on its own, and even add functions like heating and vibration!
“Holy crap, this thing is incredible!” Lin Liang was shocked.
Regardless of its rarity or whether it boosted his combat abilities, its practicality was undeniable!
Calling the spirit back out from the bed, Lin Liang looked at the grey little entity with growing affection. It was not only functional but also cute! Its playful nature and intelligence made it feel like a pet worth keeping around.
Feeling inspired, Lin Liang decided to give it a name.
“How about I give you a proper name? Calling you ‘Formless’ all the time is kind of awkward.”
The Formless Weapon Spirit bounced up and down, as if nodding in agreement.
Pleased by its response, Lin Liang thought for a moment.
“I’ve got it!”
“I’ll call you ‘Xiao Hui’ (Little Grey)!” he announced proudly, pleased with his naming skills.
The newly-named Xiao Hui seemed hesitant but eventually bobbed up and down again, as if to accept the name.
