Three days later, Tang Cheng stood on the rooftop of a hundred-story building, took a deep breath, and then spread his arms, leaning his body slightly forward. The moment his center of gravity was completely outside, he suddenly fell headfirst.
The howling wind rushed past his ears, and the speed of his fall made it almost impossible for him to see the scenery on either side, which seemed to be rising rapidly. Even Tang Cheng, if he were to fall to the ground at such a speed, would be smashed to pieces. But he did not use Shave or Moon Step; he remained indifferent as his body fell. Then, just when his head was only a meter from the ground, his body suddenly stopped.
There was no silk net, no safety rope, and no unscientific ability. From the naked eye, there was nothing around him, yet it seemed as if an invisible force was holding him in mid-air.
Immediately after, his body suddenly rose rapidly, standing straight in the air like a superhero, rising at a speed faster than before. In a moment, he had already flown back to the top of the hundred-story building, then turned lightly and stepped onto the rooftop.
"This is the Leap of Faith!" Tang Cheng stood at the edge of the rooftop, letting the wind blow through his hair, looking down at everything below him. His silhouette was simply cool and awesome.
"Are you having another episode?" Xiao Pingguo said without expression, then with a blink of her eyes, the endless steel city under their feet instantly turned into an ordinary room of just a few dozen square meters.
"You really don't give me a chance to show off, do you? Are you afraid I might fall in love with you because of this?" Tang Cheng turned around.
Xiao Pingguo ignored his crazy talk and said calmly, "I really can't tell. Although you are incurably ill, I didn't expect you to have such talent in prop making. This mini mobility device, if it could be exchanged in the central system, would require at least 5000 survival points and a D-level or higher cycle card."
"Didn't you copy 90% of my personality? How could you not think of something so obvious?" Tang Cheng asked in surprise.
"I was not given the ability to create or learn."
"I see." Tang Cheng suddenly understood and then laughed proudly. "The breadth of my knowledge is not something your little brain can comprehend. Not to mention a simple mini mobility device, as long as I have the design and enough materials and time, I could even make a nuclear bomb for you. But... when I can really make a nuclear bomb, it probably won't be very useful to me, and it would also waste time, which is no fun."
In fact, when Tang Cheng discovered the material exchange section in the central system, he already knew that challengers did not have to directly exchange finished products from the central system to enhance their equipment. As long as they had suitable materials and knew the manufacturing principles, they could not only create high-performance equipment that did not exist in the central system but also save a considerable amount of survival points.
For example, this mini mobility device. Based on the concept of the original three-dimensional mobility device, Tang Cheng placed reinforced spider silk inside an air compressor. Every time the compressor sprayed, the reinforced spider silk would be ejected. Anyone who has seen Spider-Man movies knows that spider silk has unparalleled stickiness, and reinforced spider silk is even better. Whether used for hooking or positioning, it is far superior to the ropes of the original three-dimensional mobility device.
Moreover, due to the compactness of the air compressor, it was much more portable than the original three-dimensional mobility device. Tang Cheng only needed to place them on both sides of his waist. The silent ejection and the colorless reinforced spider silk made it almost impossible for others to notice when he used the mini mobility device to move in the air. Uninformed people might even think he had the ability to fly.
This device, with its low cost, comprehensive functions, wide range of applications, and high level of coolness, was truly an essential tool for home and travel, murder and arson, showing off, and flirting. Most importantly, it did not exist in the central system, and he was probably the only one in the entire cycle world who had it.
After completing this device and conducting experiments to his complete satisfaction, Tang Cheng's remaining survival points were only 800. His original plan to upgrade his backpack had to be abandoned, as each expansion of the backpack required 500 survival points, which was extremely expensive, even more so than the penguin lord.
So, with the remaining points, Tang Cheng spent 50 points to buy a dark cuisine recipe and a magic mirror, another 50 points on some necessities, and the remaining 700 points on the design and materials for the mini Bagua diagram's magic fuel.
"Name: Dark Cuisine Recipe."
"Type: Design."
"Function: Make dark cuisine."
"Note: Even if it's dark cuisine, as long as it's delicious, it's fine—by Elucy."
So, this was a recipe that could make delicious dark cuisine.
As for the magic mirror...
"Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most handsome man in the world?"
"Of course, it's the great master you."
After hearing this conversation, you should understand what the magic mirror is for, right? It's simply an essential tool for narcissists.
Among the magic items, material design diagrams were probably the cheapest. Perhaps because using external objects to drive magic was considered somewhat unconventional, the diagram Tang Cheng bought only cost 200 survival points, and the 500 survival points he spent on mushrooms and other materials were enough for him to conduct some magic experiments.
But, as he said, by the ninth day at noon, the materials in Tang Cheng's hands were finally used up, and the magic fuel he mixed only amounted to a bottle of mineral water... According to Tang Cheng's estimate, such a small amount of magic fuel would not be enough to destroy a mountain, at most it could set off a few fireworks.
"Indeed, being a mage is a money-burning profession." Thinking about this, Tang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, finally understanding how difficult it was to be a skilled housewife without ingredients.
In the last day, Tang Cheng did not engage in any more training or the costly magic research. Instead, he had Xiao Pingguo turn his room into a beach, and he lay on an inflatable boat, enjoying the sea breeze, sipping fine wine and tasting delicious food, sailing out to sea, and comfortably spending his time in the ocean.
Until the ten-day rest period ended, Tang Cheng once again faced the second formal instance.
"Target confirmed, current challenger number 9527, entering the three-star difficulty world instance 'Hunter x Hunter,' beginning teleportation, countdown..."

By the way, the number of recommendation votes has decreased a lot. Do you really need me to actively ask for them?
