Anyone who has read the original work of Lord of Mysteries knows that taking medication across multiple channels is very dangerous. Losing yourself and becoming crazy are the least serious consequences. If you are not careful, you will directly lose control.
If the human body is compared to a game, then potions are like mods. Potions in the same sequence are a series of mods. As long as you add them in order, there will be no problem.
The mods of adjacent sequences are mods that are compatible under certain conditions. After applying the basic mod (low and medium sequence), you can switch to them.
As for the non-adjacent paths, they are naturally conflicting mods. If they are used casually, the game will crash.
However, the path provided by Snow's Golden Finger violates this rule. In each sequence, one directly takes potions from other sequences to complete promotion.
The reason is that this source of matter called [White Horse is Not a Horse] has the function of infusing the spiritual imprint of this sequence into the potion——
It's like applying a compatibility patch to the mod.
For example, when he was an ordinary person at the beginning, he was promoted to the Sequence Nine [Buridan's Donkey] by taking the [Secret Prayer] potion.
When he wants to be promoted to Sequence 8 [Pavlov's Dog], in addition to taking the [Listener] potion that also belongs to the secret prayer path, he can also drink [Broken Wing Angel], [Madman],
[Animal Tamer] Three Sequence 8 potions have been promoted.
However, the compatibility patch is only a compatibility patch. After applying it, there will be no problem in compatibility and running. However, small bugs such as mold wear, broken skin, and feet off the ground are difficult to avoid.
Baima Feima's modification of the potion only added a stronger spiritual imprint, which meant that the original spiritual imprint in the potion was not removed. Therefore, when Snow digested the potion, he had to digest two spiritual imprints at the same time.
Of course, this does not mean that Snow must play two roles at the same time, because playing the paradox path is mandatory——
To put it simply, it is a negative state that is equivalent to "forced acting" in principle. Once you try to resist, you will slip out of control.
Just like the [Buridan's Donkey] he currently holds, while playing the role of a secret prayer man to digest the magic potion, he is also burdened with the debuff called [Difficulty in Choice]. Once two relatively equal options appear, unless
Give a reason for your choice, otherwise you will be in a stalemate because you cannot make a choice. If you try to force a choice, you will start to lose control until you stop this dangerous behavior, or you will become a monster completely.
Fortunately, in addition to this debuff that will be weakened as the potion is digested, this behavior of taking medicine across channels will not increase the risk of losing control, nor will it affect the potential for further promotion. The only difference lies in what happens after promotion.
Obtained extraordinary abilities.
Take his current [Buridan's Donkey] as an example. The characteristics of this sequence nine are that it has endurance and inspiration that are twice that of ordinary people, has a certain identification ability, and has considerable knowledge and talent in ritual magic.
The magic potions it requires are three types: [Soothsayer], [Monster], and [Secret Prayer]. Depending on the medicine you take, there will be certain tendency changes. For example, drinking the magic potion of a fortune teller will make your identification ability stronger.
Drinking monster potions will give you greater inspiration, while using secret prayer potions will give you more knowledge of ritual magic.
But for the current Snow, these are actually secondary. The most important function of this source of matter is actually its higher-sequence ability in this pathway. For example, it blocks the pollution of the starry sky for him.
The gaze of the true God, and the most important power perceived by 0-08 - [Stealing Concept].
In terms of consumption, the sequence this ability belongs to should not be high, but by activating it through the source material, it can obtain the blessing of a true god-level person.
It's just that powerful abilities often come with huge prices. The reason why Snow is able to support this ability that can even shield the pollution of the starry sky is entirely due to the uniqueness that has been completely integrated with him - [One-foot Hammer]
(In a sense, Snow can be regarded as a unique spirit like Amon, but without extraordinary characteristics).
As the saying goes, "If you use a stick with a foot, you can take half of it every day, and it will last for eternity." This unique ability is simple and crude. It is the embodiment of the authority of the paradox path. It directly distorts the rules of infinite subdivision and order of magnitude, and can almost
Infinite output spirituality.
As a price, only half of Snow's spirituality was rendered unusable.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that the upper limit of this unique output of spirituality is only a quarter of Snow's own total spirituality.
It is precisely because of this power of almost perpetual motion that Snow can turn on [White Horse, Not Horse] around the clock to resist the risks brought by the knowledge in his brain originating from "The Lord of Mysteries".
…
The headache caused by the white horse but not the horse gradually subsided. Snow cheered up, pushed the window open a gap, reached out and gently pressed the little milk cat's head. As the white horse appeared in his mind, the spirituality in his body once again
began to pass.
However, the consumption this time was not exaggerated. It was only a little more than Snow's spiritual recovery speed in his semi-meditative state.
As his spirituality was extracted, Snow found a comfortable position to lie down, and the little milk cat turned into a black light, and jumped out of the window with a whoosh...
The Lunen short-haired cat, as the name suggests, is a native breed of Lunen. Due to its docile character and excellent adaptability, it is widely loved by all walks of life. In particular, it has a strong talent for catching mice, making this cat
They are also loved among civilians, and they were even raised as ship cats during the Age of Discovery.
In such an environment, a kitten wandering on the street is nothing to worry about, even if it can run much faster than its peers.
After all, in the eyes of most people, cats are elusive animals.
…
In the dilapidated courtyard, there is an unlit bedroom on the second floor of a gray-blue house.
A young girl with a round face, gentleness and sweetness was sitting in front of the dressing table, playing with a puppet that was not exactly exquisite.
But at this moment, she suddenly had a premonition in her spirit, almost subconsciously. She cast her gaze on the silver mirror placed on the foot of the dressing table, but there was nothing on the deliberately polished mirror.
Strange.
"You rely too much on your extraordinary abilities." A slightly high-pitched voice came from above her head. The girl almost instantly touched the hidden bag at her waist, but at the next moment, she stopped what she was doing.
She raised her head and stared at the black kitten that had entered the room at some point, and said with a cold face:
"Didn't I give you my contact information?"
"I'm not so big-hearted as to use the method given by the witch to communicate, just like you never have to deliver items by offering sacrifices to my lord." The little cat specially emphasized the pronunciation of the word "witch", and the girl frowned slightly.
Wrinkled, but still said:
"I've got the notes you asked for, what else do you need?"
