Chapter 3839 People with stories
If there is a standard to measure the "story" that each person carries.
Well, during the period when the Mountain Kingdom was just destroyed, Zuniga’s “story” almost reached its peak.
It was also at that time that Zuniga encountered several time radios in succession.
Like bees that smell nectar, they swooped down on Zuniga one after another...
"Soon, I put together a complete puzzle of the time radio, but this page of the puzzle finally broke apart and turned into ashes," Zuniga said softly.
"Cracked?" Angel was stunned: "Did you dismantle it?"
Zuniga shook his head: "No. During that period, I didn't hate fashion monsters that much. When I met the Time Radio, I was excited... because I knew the Time Radio's ability of 'Echoes of the Past'."
Angel's eyes froze. In that special period of time, Zuniga mentioned the ability of "Echoes of the Past". Could it be that...
The next second, Zuniga's words confirmed Angel's guess.
“I want to use ‘Echoes of the Past’ to listen to what happened in the past at the ruins of Omo City.”
Angel: "Indeed."
At that time, Zuniga considered himself a "disqualified" king. He was frantically searching for the past of Omo City, looking for clues to the disappearance of the royal city.
The emergence of Time Radio gave Zuniga a sense of hope.
"It's just that my time-travel radio doesn't have the ability to 'echo the past.'" Zuniga: "But fortunately, during those years, several other time-travel radios came to me."
Zuniga used the method of brushing skills and finally got "Echoes of the Past".
With this ability, Zuniga immediately returned to the Kingdom of Mountains and used a time-lapse radio to listen to what happened on the night Omo City disappeared at the site of the old city.
Angel: “What’s the result?”
Zuniga shook his head: "The result is that the city is bustling one second, and the next second there is no sound, as if a page filled with prosperous and noisy words was torn off in that instant."
"Although I didn't hear anything useful in my first trial, it doesn't matter. Omo City is big and I can keep listening to different locations."
"Besides, there are also powerful magicians in Omo City. I can also choose to listen near the magician's mansion. Maybe they will reveal some important clues at the last moment."
So, Zuniga began to listen continuously that night...
He heard the royal magician's whispers, his beloved wife's teasing conversations with the guards, and his children's childish words before bed...
However, each time the critical moment was reached, the result was the same as the first time: the radio stopped abruptly and the world fell silent.
No matter how powerful the magician was, he did not leave any message.
Just when Zuni was about to despair, he went to a place - the throne on the top of the mountain.
He flew into the air at the height he remembered, confirmed the location of the throne, and then used "Echoes of the Past" again.
This time, at the critical moment, he finally heard some sounds.
It was not a human voice, but a strange roar. It was the first time Zuniga heard this strange sound. It was like a jet sound, but also had some kind of low growl.
It was like a monster, suppressing its emotions and roaring softly.
Just as Zuniga wanted to listen carefully, his magic book suddenly made a cracking sound, and he lowered his head to take a look.
There are cracks on the pages of the Time Radio.
The next second, the entire page turned into dust and disappeared.
Angel: “Why…”
"I don't know what happened." Zuniga shook his head: "Maybe it's because I often peek into the past? Or maybe it's because of that roar?"
In short, Zuniga's time radio was broken from that day on.
and……
It was unknown whether he was cursed or if the other Time Radios could sense that he had the life of his "companion" in his hands, but from that day on, Zuniga, who used to frequently encounter Time Radios, never ran into any Time Radio again.
It was not until Zuniga came to the Modern City and met Ululu that he encountered the Time Radio again.
But when Zuniga knew that the demon in Ululu's body was the "Time Radio", it was already the last moment to get rid of it. Although Zuniga was very curious why the Time Radio suddenly rejected him, at that time, the arrow to get rid of it was already on the string, and he had to shoot.
In the end, Zuniga didn't know what happened that day, and he didn't know why the time radio never came close to him from that day on...
After listening to Zuniga's story, Ingres finally understood why Zuniga said that he had "complicated feelings about Time Radio."
Anyone who encounters his story would probably feel strange and puzzled about the disappearance of the time radio.
"Can I ask you a favor?" Zuniga suddenly asked.
In fact, Angel had already guessed what he was going to say, but he still followed his words and said, "You want to ask..."
"Yes." Zuniga nodded. "If your time radio has special abilities and can possess wisdom, I want to ask it about my situation. Also, about that roar at that time..."
Angel thought about it and realized that it would not do him any harm, and it might also advance Zuniga's side quest.
Thinking of this, Angel nodded: "Okay. But I may not be able to use special abilities."
Zuniga smiled and said, "I understand. I have been to many cities over the years and have met magicians with time-lapse radios, but none of them have a special form of time-lapse radio."
Zuniga knew all too well how rare special forms of time-lapse radio were.
"If you don't reveal any special abilities, just ignore what I said."
After a pause, Zuniga digested his emotions and looked at Angel again: "By the way, you just said that your time radio has the ability to foresee... a person with a story?"
Angel nodded.
Zuniga's eyes flashed with nostalgia. "Although the description of this ability is vague, it's actually quite useful. I used it once when I was brushing up on skills. I tested it at the time and I quite liked it."
"Even after coming to this continent, I have missed this ability many times..."
Zuniga sighed a few words and then told Ingres in detail about the ability of "People with Stories".
"People with stories: This can be used on any humanoid creature. Once the other person has a story that the Time Radio is interested in, the story will be revealed."
The textual description of this fashion magic is indeed a bit vague.
For example, what stories would interest Time Radio? And how would the stories be presented?
Zuniga answered them one by one.
"Time Radio is very concerned about 'stories'. The 'stories' here can be gossip, intelligence, or life experiences..." Zuniga: "In other words, as long as a person's experience is not so dull, Time Radio will be interested."
To put it simply, it seems that there are great restrictions, but in fact there are not many restrictions.
As long as you are not a "background board" or a "passerby", as long as your life experience is a little complicated, or there is some interesting gossip about you... and so on, Time Radio will be interested in you.
It's just a matter of degree of interest.
All in all, the threshold of Time Radio is very low, so don't worry too much about it not being interested in "stories".
"Of course, as Time Radio sees more and more of the world and hears more and more bizarre stories, its threshold will also increase. However, this is something that will happen in the later stages. At least in the early stages, you don't have to worry about this."
In the early days, Time Radio was like a curious baby, interested in everything.
In the later stage, when he became an experienced person, he became relatively difficult to control.
But in the later stage, when you grow up, the people you meet will become more bizarre, which can actually make Time Radio interested in the same way.
Moreover, in the later stages, every time you encounter an amazing and interesting story, the upper limit of the heat points will increase dramatically.
Sometimes it is possible to increase hundreds of heat points at once.
So there are also benefits to the later stage.
As for the other vague point, it is: the content of the story and the way it is presented.
"Generally speaking, the story content extracted by the Time Radio is randomly extracted from the user. But no matter how random it is, one thing can be confirmed, that is, this story definitely attracted the interest of the Time Radio."
"For example, if you use it on me, it might extract the story of the disappearance of Omo City, or my experience in the dark corner, or even the story of me saving Ululu. All of these are possible."
Angel: "Can it be used repeatedly on the same person?"
Zuniga shook his head, "No. There will be an interval between using this ability on the same person. I'm not sure about the exact interval because I was testing the basic ability at the time and refreshed it just to brush up the 'Echoes of the Past' skill."
"But I can be sure that the interval may be very long, one month? Half a year? Even a year is possible."
In short, it is impossible to use it repeatedly on the same person in a short period of time.
"As for the way the story is presented, you don't have to worry about it. It will be directly projected into your mind space. It is projected in the form of information flow. The moment you receive the information, you should be able to understand the corresponding 'story'."
After hearing this, Ingres probably understood the capabilities and limitations of the "Time Radio".
Overall, it can be considered an ability to "probe intelligence", which would probably be a very useful ability for intelligence personnel, journalists, or undercover spies.
For Angel, the effect of this ability is not particularly obvious, and it is estimated that it is more likely to be used for "gossip" in the future.
However, "Time Radio" also has a visible benefit.
It can add new ways to obtain heat points.
As long as you keep using it, listening to and giving feedback on stories that interest Time Radio, you will increase your popularity. Although the increase in efficiency may not be as great as the impact of variety shows, it is simple and long-lasting.
It is also a good way to increase the source of popularity.
Just as Angel was secretly evaluating the "man with a story", Zuniga's voice came into his ears again.
"In fact, there is another vague point that you may not have discovered."
Angel looked at Zuniga suspiciously: "Anything else?"
Zuniga nodded and smiled meaningfully: "Look carefully at the first sentence of the ability description."
Angel whispered: "Can be used on any humanoid creature..."
Zuniga nodded: "Yes, this point is actually more important than the following points."
In Angel's puzzled look, Zuniga explained: "You might think that the so-called 'use on any humanoid creature' means that it can be used on humans and humanoid creatures, but it's actually more than that."
Zuniga said this with a somewhat mysterious expression.
"Do you know the Shapeshifter?"
Angel shook his head.
Zuniga was not surprised and explained: "The Shapeshifter is a fashion monster from the Gorgeous Series. When combined with the 'Styling Clown', they become the famous Disguise Combination."
"The clown can change a person's clothes in an instant, while the shapeshifter can change a person's shape in an instant."
A tall man can be easily transformed into a delicate girl.
A little girl who is less than one meter tall can instantly turn into a muscular man.
This is the ability of the "Transformer Magician", to modify the body shape of others.
"Moreover, the shapeshifting ability of the Transfiguration Magician is not limited to this. It can also transform animals, monsters, and even plants into human forms. Although this is very difficult and will not last too long, when it transforms these living beings into human forms, does it also meet the premise of 'a person with a story'?"
——Use on any humanoid creature.
Even "people" created by a shapeshifting magician are included.
In other words, as long as you have a way to forcibly transform a living organism into a "human form", you can use the ability of "People with Stories" on it!
When Angel heard this, he was also a little dazed.
In a sense, this involves idealism and concepts!
However, this also fits some of Angle's impressions of fashion magic.
Fashion magic seems to have little direct attack capability, but because of this, its various auxiliary abilities flourish and its upper limit is extremely high.
"As long as you have a way to force creatures to transform into 'human form', you can even spy on the gossip of the gods." Zuniga said this and coughed softly, "Of course, this is just my personal guess."
"I guess the ability of the time-lapse radio also has an 'upper limit', just like when I used 'Echoes of the Past' to listen to the throne. Once the upper limit is exceeded, your time-lapse radio will probably break."
"But even so, this ability is actually very useful."
After Zuniga came to this continent, he encountered several magicians related to the Dark Corner, but the opponents were too powerful and ignored Zuniga.
At that time, Zuniga would fantasize that it would be great if he still had the ability to be a "person with a story".
Without even realizing it, you can listen to the other person's story, and maybe even discover hidden information through it.
