Chapter 686: Way of the Talisman

The Virus Detection Kits advantages over its necklace counterpart were that it did not require charging to be used, nor did the kit require conscious activation. As long as a virus carrier was nearby, the sphere would automatically glow as a warning. Not only did it detect zombies, it even gave a warning when ghosts were near.

In fact, it would be more accurate to say that the kit detected undead energy, rather than the virus.

Big brother, what are those? Still a little insomniac, Qiaoqiao finally got up from the bed, unable to bear with the boredom. She energetically ran up to the wall, then pointed at one of the Inferno Talismans.

Those are Inferno Talismans. I answered with a little resignation I knew there was no way she would give up until I satisfied her curiosity. It functions as a Fireball when thrown, and functions as an automatic self-defense tool when placed on yoneself. It self-immolates when it detects any nearby ghosts.

Uwah! Thats amazing! Her eyes lit up like little jewels.

Is that a talisman I spy? This time, it was Lixiangs turn to hop off the bed. Just like Qiaoqiao, she walked up to the curious object then said, But I thought talismans were the methods of the immortals, why would the system have these? Isnt it a magical girl system? Has it changed to being a cultivation system?

Who knows. Maybe the two arent all that different. I gave a vague answer, seeing as I did not know better myself.

5 points a piece I wonder how effective they are, though? Still on the bed, Bitong took the opportunity to purchase one talisman herself, and started fiddling with it. Frostbite Talisman. Windslicer Talisman There are even other elemental variations of that. I think I saw a book called, Essentials of Beginner Talismans. Only 2000 points, not at all expensive if these talismans prove effective. We can try crafting some ourselves.

Sis, maybe we should save that for later. Even if we learnt to craft such support tools, they wont directly improve our fighting strength. Especially not when crafting those talismans would require resources and time, which we might not possess. We should stick to buying them for now. The beginner talismans arent even that expensive.

At 5 points a pop, they actually werent expensive at all, seeing as they could ward off harder to detect enemies like those ghosts. Had it not been for Qiaoqiao not being able to sleep, the consequences would have been dire.

Thats right. As long as it doesnt fall off, its fine. But you do need to infuse a little SP into it when you throw it, otherwise it wont activate its powers. An exception would be if it was stuck onto something evil like those ghosts. Seeing them so excited, I gave everyone a quick run-through of the talisman. Having done that, I said, Its almost midnight now, lets get some sleep.

Okay Perhaps all the excitement had finally taken its toll, but the moment I said that, she gave an adorable little yawn. Qiaoqiao is actually a little sleepy now.

Your Highness, you should get some sleep yourself.

Mhm. I plan to do so. Dont worry, Ill monitor the talismans. Should any of them activate, I will replace the talisman afterwards.

In that case, our safety is in your hands, Ke.

Leave it to me.

Just like that, the girls went back to bed. This time, they quickly drifted off to sleep, even the little bundle of energy that was Qiaoqiao.

On my part, I sat up on the mattress for a while longer, watching for any signs of intruders.

Seeing as there were no more threats, I myself got ready to turn in. It was then that the system spoke up.

Ding! Faith power detected. Valued host, you have just received 10 points.

Wait Faith power gives 10 points now? When did I gain so many believers? I thought I needed 10000 believers praying to me a day to receive 1 point?
