Chapter 45: Artificial Demon Eye Projection Magic... and the Possibility of Seizing Authority (Part 2)


The enhancement of the spiritual attribute seems not as intuitive as directly enhancing power and agility, simply because the represented ability value is relatively obscure and reserved. However, it by no means implies simplicity; its improvement has an immensely significant driving force for a person's inner changes.

...

...

In the real world, midnight has just passed.

For the dog system, it signifies the refresh of a new day, and the shop page refreshes as well. Gu Mo, who woke up early to take a shower, naturally opened the daily discount page at the first opportunity.

People are like this; when there's a bit of money on hand, they can't sit still... Nevertheless, there's no choice. He could afford to be frugal in other aspects, but in this regard, he absolutely cannot. Hard currency like keys, although extremely valuable, is meaningless if they cannot be effectively converted into aids for his growth.

"Blessing Potion..."

Gazing at the first item, Gu Mo softly recited its name.

It was a glass bottle sealed with a wooden stopper, filled with golden liquid, an exceptionally pure shade of gold, like molten pure gold. This pure color was very alluring; even if he didn't know what it was, Gu Mo felt he'd immediately recognize it as a potion imbued with magical power.

The price was set at one silver key, containing three doses. Its effect was like a magical potion that made one very lucky within twelve hours of consumption...

It seemed to be a somewhat nuanced consumable item, not necessarily useful, but could potentially play a crucial role in certain situations. After a moment of pondering, Gu Mo decided to hold off for now. With 24 hours until the next refresh, waiting to reinforce his settings before deciding whether or not to buy wasn't an issue.

He glanced at the second refreshed item, with a name that sounded quite impressive—

"Helmet of Hades."

The effect was simple and pure: wearing the helmet grants invisibility. Yet it only costs three bronze keys. It was unknown which mythological version's main god's divine artifact it was from. Gu Mo wasn't too convinced it could deliver an overpowered effect, fearing it might be as disappointing as situations in the previous world.

Just bearing the name of the gods but embarrassingly ineffective... Competent practitioners might easily see through this invisibility.

"And this color is just too sad, who would buy such a thing!" Looking at the green-tinted helmet, Gu Mo couldn't help but gripe about it to the dog system.

A mask might be forgivable, but a helmet... he'd have to politely pass.

Decisively passing on the item, he eagerly surveyed the third item, yet another Skill Badge, with a slightly dull bronze hue.

——"Artificial Demon Eye LV0."

It transforms one's eyeball into magic circuits, changing its passive function of receiving external information into an active capability to influence external things. All targets within the field of vision would be affected by magic, and if the target makes direct contact with the Demon Eye, the magical effect would significantly increase.

"So it's this..."

Gu Mo frowned, yet again an item with a somewhat nuanced feel.

If it had been something like a "Thousand-Mile Eye EX" or "Direct Death Demon Eye," he would have bought it without hesitation. Unfortunately, it wasn't. It wasn't even a type of innate demon eye enhancement, just a manifestation of postnatal magic transformation techniques.

The description indicates as much; the Artificial Demon Eye at best has abilities such as charm or suggestion. The sole benefit is its low price, only one bronze key to trade for this enhancement. And as a Skill Badge, within the dog system's functionality, it could support upgrades.

To a normal magic system, the Artificial Demon Eye represents a modification, permanently altering one's body, making the eyeball a permanent part of magic...

But to Gu Mo, this skill is detachable—he suspected only those bound to race or inherently linked talent abilities wouldn't become Skill Badges, allowing him to bypass most thresholds and limitations to use them directly.

With a relatively low price and abilities not overly phenomenal but convenient, it equates to possessing a skill that can charm and suggest to others within a visual range at any time...

These could be considered advantages, so despite its lack of complete perfection, Gu Mo pondered briefly before choosing to buy it after all.

Keys hoarded in hand wouldn't earn interest, and currently, for him, only the dog system's shop function provided a relatively stable means of converting valuable resources into growth aids.

Dungeon Worlds won't do; he never knew what the next Dungeon World might entail. He couldn't afford to gamble on this... Besides, the shop's daily discount refreshed every day, so if he saw something he could use, it was only natural to make a decisive choice; he couldn't bet on better items appearing.

"Which skill should be swapped out..."

Opening his skill bar, Gu Mo frowned at the filled Skill Badges, then paused slightly in surprise upon noticing one Skill Badge displayed an off-level skill.
