After exchanging all items except for the mop, Chen Shang found himself with a hefty reserve of Spirit Points—90 after spending 180. It was a comfortable amount, and with so many slots still open for enhancements and skills, he felt invigorated.
He realized that once an item was secured, it didn't require additional Spirit Points for exchange—like the Blood-Soaked Machete from Jason and the Cross of John from the previous stream. These items were now part of his arsenal.
Chen Shang inserted the three cards he had exchanged into the enhancement and skill slots, feeling a surge of power as they integrated into his being. "This is so convenient; just slot it in, no training needed!" he remarked.
He extinguished the light in his personal space and activated the Invisible Shadow skill, fully blending into the darkness. He waved his hand and confirmed that no shape was visible, although he could still feel the breeze from his movements.
"It's just invisibility; my volume still exists, and physical movement still interacts with surrounding objects. Hmm, quite scientific…" Chen Shang mused. He wasn't surprised by the skill's effect, having already experienced it while facing the spider monster. He had successfully found its weak point and eventually captured it.
The two-meter-long machete appeared in his hand. Initially, wielding it had been cumbersome, but after upgrading his bloodline, it felt manageable.
He stored the Blood-Soaked Machete back in his bag and then examined the hockey mask. The cracked mask looked visually appealing, especially with its bloodstained accents, exuding an aura of brutality.
Placing the mask on his face, Chen Shang felt a surge of bloodlust, yet his mind remained clear and composed. It was a peculiar sensation, as if the desire for destruction was a deep-seated craving.
Creating a mirror in his personal space, he examined his reflection. Seeing the mask didn't diminish his charm, he nodded in satisfaction. After a while, he removed it. "This mask can influence the underlying logic of the mind. It's way more potent than any hypnosis."
The mask could fundamentally alter a person, gradually transforming an ordinary individual into a psychopathic killer. Chen Shang stored it away, feeling confident he wasn't influenced by it; everyone had their desires, just varying in intensity. His skill at emotional regulation kept him from falling victim to his impulses.
After organizing his items, he turned his attention to a new option unlocked in this stream: Exploration. Clicking on it brought up a prompt:
This is a special ability for the host. Through exploration, you can gain information about items, beings, others, or other players. The exploration radius is determined by your overall evaluation level, and the quality of the information gained depends on the difference between your level and the target's. Generally, the higher your level, the more comprehensive the information. If the gap is too vast, obtaining any information about the target will be difficult.
Once the prompt ended, Chen Shang noticed a hollow circle in his field of vision, expanding and contracting like a game item selection cursor.
Focusing on a rock he had created, he received the following information:
[Rock] (F-): An utterly useless item, commonly found everywhere. Perhaps you could use it to crack someone's skull?
"Exploration is pretty handy," Chen Shang mused, noticing that using this ability consumed energy. It seemed that this skill relied on the mystery attribute.
The consumption was minor compared to the blood flame, making it a feasible option in his toolkit.
Having understood the new feature, he exited the personal space, returning to the real world.
Surrounded by the dimly lit room, he pulled out his phone to check the time. Approximately half a day had passed since he entered the sub-world, matching the duration of his stream.
"So, whatever time I spend in the stream also passes in the real world. Quite scientific," he thought to himself, appreciating the consistency of time between his two realities.
