...

The refining of the "Invisible Sword" took much longer than expected.

Lin Li let out a long sigh only after the sky had completely darkened.

The "Invisible Sword" slowly emerged from his body and began to sway left and right in the air with Lin Li's fingertips.

After consuming dozens of Spirit Stones, it was initially refined successfully.

And just like the "Duck Blood Bottle," after refinement, more information automatically appeared in Lin Li's mind.

Finally, he got the 'user manual'.

Lin Li blinked, and after digesting the information, he controlled the "Invisible Sword" to fly towards a pen on the desk.

The "Invisible Sword" approached swiftly, and the moment it touched the ballpoint pen, it 'vanished.'

Lin Li's fingers moved slightly, and he focused intently.

At first, there was a period of silence. Finally, the ballpoint pen began to tremble, then shake more and more vigorously, until it flew up, unsteadily bumping its way toward Lin Li, hovering in front of him.

"Everything can be a sword, huh? This artifact is too sword-like," Lin Li exclaimed and reached out to grab the pen.

The "Invisible Sword" has no physical form and can't cause any harm, but it can possess anything without consciousness and turn it into its tangible sword form.

The ballpoint pen in his hand now is the "Invisible Sword."

Controlling the "Invisible Sword" requires consuming spiritual power and a small amount of spiritual energy within the body.

Although it can possess any object without consciousness, theoretically, Lin Li could turn the bed beside him or even the entire building under his feet into the sword form, controlling the "Invisible Sword" becomes increasingly difficult with the change of the sword form.

"Invisible Sword" needs an adaptation process after possession.

Adaptation is divided into two stages: one is establishing a connection, which allows Lin Li to control the sword form afterward. Before this, the sword form won't have any reaction to Lin Li's commands; once the connection is established, it enters the second stage of increasing tacit understanding, making Lin Li's control more smooth and cost-effective.

Even if it's just a ballpoint pen, establishing the connection alone just took tens of seconds. Of course, this isn't the fault of the artifact but Lin Li as the owner.

If it were to possess the entire building, just establishing the connection might take seven or eight years.

And the difficulty of controlling the "Invisible Sword" would also rise dramatically; by then, Lin Li feels that even if his hands shoot sparks out from sword techniques, the building would remain unmoved.

Moreover, it's actually okay if it doesn't move, but if it does, Lin Li feels his spiritual power would be instantly drained, making him restart life directly.

The "Invisible Sword" partially resets its adaptation to the sword form once it departs.

For example, now, when it separates from the ballpoint pen and re-possesses it, it doesn't need to wait tens of seconds to start again; within a few seconds, the connection re-establishes.

Adaptation time is greatly shortened.

Though unfortunately, it can't completely preserve progress, it's better than a total reset.

So if Lin Li does nothing every day but let the "Invisible Sword" reside in the building, five or six decades later, the control cost for the building would decrease to an acceptable level for Lin Li for a day.

On that day, Lin Li could let the building tremble now and then—provided it hasn't been demolished by then.

Additionally, the "Invisible Sword" fits any Sword Technique, but Lin Li doesn't know any yet.

The 'user manual' doesn't even come with a basic one, which is like buying an Apple phone and having to buy a charger separately.

This has left Lin Li now only able to move it up, down, left, and right; no fancy Sword Qi or thunderous moves, sorry, can't do any of them.

Though there's no Sword Technique, I can learn from Wang Yuhui.

Later, I'll let the "Invisible Sword" possess a poop-stained mop, controlling it remotely without worrying about this astonishing weapon inadvertently harming myself—it's simply off the charts.

In fact, Lin Li realized that in the modern world, there's no need to use it as a weapon at all.

Why not possess a boy's skirt and then control it to float up?

With a different perspective, the "Invisible Sword" presents significant potential and opportunities.

As for the control distance, Lin Li tested a bit, and when the ballpoint pen flew out of the room, after just a few meters, controlling it became extremely painful, and his spirit, energy, and inner spiritual energy also dropped very fast, with 'signal' delay and loss.

It's already somewhat out of control. It seems this is currently the limit and can't be maintained over this distance for long.

But this is also related to the short time the "Invisible Sword" has possessed it and the high control cost; after adapting for longer, should this distance be able to be controlled normally?

Maybe.

His stomach growled, Lin Li glanced at his watch; refining had taken hours, and it was already eight o'clock, and he hadn't even had dinner yet.

But with the acquisition of two promising artifacts, Lin Li was in a good mood.

At this point, Lin Li picked up his phone to order takeout, planning to eat and sleep early; he has to get up early for practice and a physical check tomorrow.

Wang Ze sent him a message again.

"Wang Ze: Prime Minister, I seem to have killed the conversation, what should I do, urgent urgent urgent!"

"Wang Ze: 'Image,' what should I reply now?"

Lin Li opened the image Wang Ze sent, which was a chat log.

"..."

"Qian Ying: I heard from my grandfather."

Qian Ying is the senior sister that has a crush on Wang Ze, and the chat started here.

"Qian Ying: Three different matchmakers introduced partners to my dad; all of them introduced my mom."

"Wang Ze: That's unbelievably fated, isn't it?"

"Wang Ze: So did your dad and mom eventually end up together?"

"Qian Ying: ?"

"Qian Ying: Can you guess why I call him my dad?"

"Wang Ze: Sorry, sorry!"

"Qian Ying: Of course, they're together! And they get along well too. Ah, my mom's out on a date again, and she didn't take me, leaving me home alone."

"Wang Ze: Alone?"

"Qian Ying: Yeah, what about it?"

"Wang Ze: Hmm, where's your dad?"

"Qian Ying: Junior, who do you think my mom is dating."

Lin Li: "..."

Feels like Senior Sister Qian probably took several deep breaths before replying to that last message.

"Lin Li: What's your reply?"

Wang Ze's message was sent half an hour ago; he's surely replied by now.

"Wang Ze: I replied with a 'hahaha yeah,' she replied 'hahaha exactly,' and we've paused the chat so far."

"Lin Li: Hahaha, idiot."

"Wang Ze: ..."

"Lin Li: Don't worry, she's currently pursuing you, and theoretically, she's more anxious than you, thinking, 'Did I really meet an idiot? Oh my God, I just want to die, should I give up?'"

"Wang Ze: I'm just afraid she won't pursue anymore! Being chased feels so good, but damn, chatting is so hard!"

"Wang Ze: When will I wake up one day and all the guys in the world drop their skills at flirting a thousandfold, and I simply send a girl a 'good morning,' and she cries and says she wants to spend her life with me!"

Lin Li chuckled, feeling like Chen Tianming possessed him in those final moments of fantasy.

"Lin Li: How much fiction have you read at the sports event?"

"Wang Ze: A lot, I'm still reading."

"Lin Li: Well, that's enough fiction for the day, call it a day and take a rest."
