Four Split Personalities

Yi Dong raised his silver spoon and waved it twice, grinning bitterly: "But this profession [Spirit Medium], feels like many of our country’s cooking tips... A pinch of salt, appropriate amount of MSG, several star anise, many skills are vague both in consumption and yield, it all relies on that one spirituality."

Motan immediately understood Yi Dong’s meaning, smiled, and nodded: "You’ve always been quite spiritual."

"Spiritual my ass, mate. I’m a staunch materialist."

Yi Dong twitched the corner of his mouth, spread his hands and said: "But having been a [Spirit Medium] for so long, I’ve roughly figured things out in my heart; put it this way, I have two ways to burst forth with power far exceeding my current realm, five minutes at the Epic Tier... mind you, Epic, not Half-step Epic should be doable, but the cost is significant, as I mentioned earlier."

"Go on."

Motan furrowed his brow, not entirely in agreement, yet indicated for Yi Dong to continue.

"The first way is to channel my Lifebound Ghost, the thing inside this tablet, my soul over my own body, allowing my overall strength to be comprehensively enhanced."

Yi Dong knocked on the tablet in his hands, awkwardly looked at the words [Rin Winter] on it, and explained: "The advantage of this method is strong controllability, because my skill system basically won’t undergo any change, it’s simply just getting stronger, you can understand it as previously I could only hold back a Low-Level Fireball Technique, but after channeling my Lifebound Ghost, my Fireball Technique’s destructive power can reach Epic levels."

Motan nodded, this logic was easy to understand, it’s just purely the attributes going up, so the skill power rises accordingly.

"The downside is my realm can’t keep up, so it’s just simply stacking up numbers, you should understand so I won’t waste more words."

Yi Dong made a funny face at Motan, then put away the tablet in his hand, and from his bag took out a short knife, seriously saying: "The other way, is using this..."

Motan curiously examined the short knife in Yi Dong’s hand, which was grayish-white throughout and covered with cracks, appearing weather-beaten: "What’s this?"

"Check the item info yourself."

Yi Dong directly tossed the thing onto the table, said casually: "It’s a reward I got after completing that special mission [Awaken Fenrir Team] some time ago."

Motan nodded slightly, then leaned closer for a look—

...

"This thing of yours..."

Motan glanced at Yi Dong, chuckled dryly twice, and pushed the Broken Rainbow back in front of the latter: "The confidentiality measures are indeed marvelous, it basically reveals nothing."

Yi Dong randomly pocketed the short knife, said casually: "Bah, it’s normal for outsiders like you not to understand, actually when I first got it in my hands, I was also completely in the dark, but after studying it for a while, I can roughly draw a conclusion."

"Let me hear it."

Motan casually took out a bottle of soda for Yi Dong, since the latter wasn’t fond of coffee.

"You rascal, why didn’t you give me something good to drink sooner! Uh... let’s first talk about my talent [Super Spiritual Body], after completing the special mission this thing got a branch called [Super Spiritual Body, Possession and Fusion], I’ve roughly researched this skill, basically it means actively inviting ghosts to possess, quite creepy."

The materialist Yi Dong shivered, drank a sip of beverage to steady nerves, then continued: "Regarding specific effects, although I haven’t used it, roughly I can guess one point, unexpectedly it should allow me to gain the possessed ghost’s strength, quite a high proportion of that kind."

"Hmm... so, suppose before reviving Captain Ned, first summoning his soul onto yourself, then you can gain the strength of a Middle Rank warrior?"

Motan immediately inferred, curiously said: "It definitely can’t be this simple, there must be other limitations, right?"

"Of course, too strong a soul I have no way to perform possession, forcing it could directly lead to being overtaken, meaning the player [Rin Winter] dies, and then the [Rin Winter] body is occupied by other souls."

Yi Dong shrugged, spread hands and said: "To perform Possession and Fusion, I must first expand [minor ghost realm], then use the skills [Invisible Hand] and [Soul Taking] to drag the target into my body, typically in this way, it’s stated in the talent description."

"What about this?"

Motan pointed to the [Medium · Broken Rainbow] on the table and asked: "Is this different?"

"Different, this thing itself is a medium, it doesn’t actually contain a soul, but rather a segment of memory similar in nature to a soul, I’ve fussed with it myself for half a day, and can roughly confirm this memory doesn’t possess Divine Will, but it does have instinct, a strong person’s instinct."

Yi Dong nodded slightly, said in a deep voice: "So, if things go as expected, I should be able to directly use [Super Spiritual Body, Possession and Fusion] on this Broken Rainbow, forcibly inviting the instinct within to possess me, thereby being able to freely use its power."

Motan furrowed his brow and asked: "Epic tier?"

"Should be, even if not, I can possess another Lifebound Ghost, forcibly pushing myself to Epic tier."

Yi Dong spoke earnestly, very carefully saying: "Success rate can be assured, but such would double the cost, within five minutes though, my combat strength will definitely stabilize at Epic tier, not only that, according to my research, the memory within this Broken Rainbow likely belongs to an Assassin, perfect for coordinating with your plan."

Motan twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said: "But the cost is huge, you’ve only just..."

"You don’t need to worry about this, telling you the side effects is only to avoid affecting your arrangements."

Yi Dong casually waved his hand, impatiently said: "Furthermore, this thing despite having substantial side effects definitely still has benefits, like after possession and fusion giving me an enlightenment or something, reducing future level-up experience by ninety percent, wouldn’t that be fantastic?"

Motan laughed speechlessly: "You think it’s cheating? Reducing level-up experience by ninety percent."

"Cut the crap."

Yi Dong grabbed the [Broken Rainbow] on the table, raised the blade tip towards Motan: "Are you going to use it or not?"

"We’ll decide then."

Motan irritably waved his hand, after a while helplessly said: "Anyway, you prepare first, if I need you to act, I’ll message you directly."

Yi Dong finally satisfied, put away the [Broken Rainbow] and nodded: "That’s more like it."

"Don’t worry about me."

Motan stood up, walked to Yi Dong, extended a fist, grinned: "Buddy’s strong."

"The key is the lady can Niu Chao too."

Yi Dong raised his arm and exchanged a fist bump with Motan, lazily stood up: "So it’s settled, I’ll head back and prepare now."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Motan nodded, after a few seconds of silence suddenly said: "Speaking of which..."

"Hmm?"

"In reality..."

"In reality?"

"Have you ever... uh... For instance, any experiences of sensing any demons or ghosts?"

"What???"

"I mean, aren’t you a [Spirit Medium] in the game? So outside the game might there be... You know?"

"Hell no, are you nuts?! You know I’m timid and you’re trying to scare me?!"

"No?"

"No! Enough already! Bring this up again and I won’t be able to get up at night to pee!"

"Alright."
