Have the two spirit pets return immediately. After that, Xu Zhi will open the warehouse and click on the pink core. Since she has it now, she naturally wants to learn more about it.
Upon selecting the pink core, a single character appeared next to it: 【Heart.】
"Heart?"
Puzzling name.
After clicking on the "Learn" option, information about the 【Heart】 attribute appeared on the game screen.
【Heart: Guidelines for Survival and Continuity】
【It is the principle of life, survival, and protection. It is the rhythm that never stops beating and the dance that never ends. Linked to music, yet also connected to the skin and anatomy. In the face of adversity, it is unstoppable, possessing an unyielding optimism and unwavering determination.】
"Wow."
The young girl uttered a disinterested "wow."
This was the most positive description among the known attributes that Xu Zhi had encountered so far.
After reading the description, Xu Zhi had a better understanding of why this attribute was called 【Heart.】
"Feels like an attribute that would work well for a spirit body ......"
If she gained something when she activated her spirit body, the survival and protection of the 【Heart】 attribute might help her linger until the moment when her spirit body naturally disappeared.
But it was too early for that, and she had no thoughts of using her spirit body again for the time being.
Currently, she knew half of the eight attributes and had a basic understanding of how to utilize the cores. Xu Zhi intended to use this knowledge as a bargaining chip with Shen Jinwen tomorrow to get her to agree to her demands.
As night fell, despite the dog's eager gaze and constant attempts to charm her with cute expressions, Xu Zhi only allowed Xiaoyi to consume all the 【Blade】 attribute cores.
It wasn't that she favored one over the other; Xu Zhi felt similarly towards all her followers. She was purely distributing the cores based on their utility. However, seeing the disappointed look on the dog's face, Xu Zhi paused briefly and rubbed its head. Immediately, the dog forgot its earlier disappointment and began wagging its tail excitedly, trying once again to lick her, unheeding of any past lessons.
"... Is this the enthusiasm of a puppy?"
Xu Zhi struggled to push the dog off her and silently vowed never to touch the dog's head again!
After comforting the dog, Xu Zhi took out two 【Moth】 attribute cores.
"This is already the fourth one. Please, let me awaken a superpower!"
Perhaps her prayers had some effect. After consuming the two gray cores, Xu Zhi's hallucinations changed again.
She didn't feel any closer to the candle flame, but something was different:
A gray moth, as if lost, flew towards her instead of the candle flame, stumbling and bumbling its way.
Xu Zhi looked closely and noticed that this moth was slightly different from the others. Simply put, it resembled a delicate gray butterfly rather than an ordinary moth.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
It hesitated for a moment in front of Xu Zhi, then flapped its wings, tracing a shaky curve in the air. Finally, it landed on the girl's nose tip and, with a gentle flutter of its wings, transformed into a swarm of gray light points that merged into her body.
In a daze, Xu Zhi seemed to see the distant, dazzling candle flame flicker momentarily. Before she could fully take it in, She has regained her consciousness.
“……”
Xu Zhi felt somewhat bewildered as she had little experience with the changes in her hallucinations and didn't know what had happened.
Fortunately, she still has a gaming console!
Xu Zhi lowered his head and looked at the game screen. Indeed, a new narration appeared.
【In the old world, people harnessed the arts of the invisible, liberating their spirits from the shackles of flesh. They ascended from the material world to the vast hostels, traversing the seas of dreams to reach the abode of the sun, The Other Shore of the Great Dream, where they found what they had been seeking.】
【Nowadays, acquiring superhuman abilities by organisms no longer requires cumbersome procedures and powerful faith, but still requires traversing the sea of dreams, and reaching the abode of the sun remains an extremely difficult task.】
【And you have already taken the first step, despite some obvious mistakes, but isn't this just the choice of a moth?】
【Change, whimsy, chaos, and secrets, you are its finest interpretation.】
【Congratulations, you have acquired the supernatural ability: the Eye of Insight!】
【The consumption of supernatural power when using a supernatural ability corresponds to its level. The more powerful the ability, the greater the energy required to support it, and the Eye of Insight is not weak.】
【The Eye of Insight: When you utilize your superhuman power, no secret can escape your gaze.】
【The secrets you can perceive increase as your level of superhuman abilities rises.】
【But you cannot spy on secrets that are more powerful than you. Use your eye with caution, as it will surely backfire when it sees something it should not.】
"Did I make any obvious mistakes?"
Xu Zhi was initially surprised, but then realized that since no one had taught her before, it was normal for her to make a mistake... wasn't it?
Then she felt delighted that she had finally gained a superhuman ability. Although she was a bit disappointed that it wasn't an offensive one, she figured it was better to have something than nothing at all.
"The Eye of Insight... How do I use it?"
Xu Zhi furrowed her brows slightly and carefully sensed the differences, and when she focused her attention on her eyes, she could feel that there was something "extra" inside her body.
She couldn't quite describe the sensation. The newfound presence felt like an extension of her blood, constantly supplying her with "energy." It was akin to a finger that she had always possessed, one that she could easily attach to her eyes. However, its power was not immense, and when she affixed it to her eyes, it could only last for about three seconds.
Xu Zhi attempted to open her eyes and gaze at the dog, though she was actually more curious about the game console. However, the warning 【use your eyes carefully】 resonated in her mind, and she knew for sure that the game console contained secrets far beyond her comprehension. She didn't want to risk it.
In her eyes, the dog remained the same, but a pale yellow flame was burning in its heart, and the color was exactly the same as the core of the 【Blade】 attribute. It seemed that now she was able to use the Eye of Insight to see through the attributes of creatures. This was indeed a pleasant surprise for her. Attributes were obviously of great importance, and being able to detect the other's attributes in the first instant meant gaining the upper hand. Moreover, this was only what she could glimpse at the moment; as she grew more powerful, she would "see" even more.
As Xu Zhi observed the dog, her eyes became hazy and gray, as if they were shrouded in a mist. Once the three seconds elapsed, her supernatural energy within her body was depleted, and the faint yellow flame disappeared from her vision. Her pupils returned to their normal state.
A feeling of weakness, similar to when she was critically ill, spread throughout her body from every pore. It was the sensation of her supernatural strength being completely drained.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be tormented by this unbearable feeling of weakness, as if every bone in their body were itching, driving them to madness. But Xu Zhi was already accustomed to it.
She calmly put away the game console, covered herself with a blanket, and fell asleep despite the unbearable discomfort.
After all, she had been enduring such hardships for years.
Just before falling asleep, Xu Zhi's thoughts were hazy and unclear.
"I should keep a Moth attribute core as a backup from now on."
To replenish my supernatural energy after activating the Eye of Insight.
After all, why suffer through the discomfort if there was a way to alleviate it?
