<h4>Chapter 824: Special Item: The Disbursing Bncing Scale</h4>
The feeling of winning the lottery in the next second gave Su Yang a mad adrenaline rush.
However, after the excitement, Su Yang could not help but feel fearful.
After all, because of his reflexes, he almost tapped on the [+] symbol on the bncing scale, which means that he would have ended up adding a second point for the bncing scale again...
However, there was a chance of failure when it received its second point.
So, if it failed, the bncing scale might have been destroyed!
Fortunately, at that critical moment, the panel for the bncing scale popped up. Otherwise, something bad might have happened!
Su Yang took a quick nce at the attribute panel before him.
[Special Item: The Disbursing Bncing Scale]
Ability: You can ce special items or abilities with special abilities on the bncing scale.
ce the ability that you wish to modify its contents on the left side of the bncing scale, and the price you wish to pay on the right side. The bncing scale will measure ording to the weight of both sides. As long as the right side is heavier than the left side, you will be able to change the contents.
Restriction 1: Abilities can only be adjusted, they cannot be created out of thin air.
Restriction 2: Items without special abilities will not have any price. Only those with special abilities would.
Restriction 3: The price can be the deletion of the ability itself or other abilities.
Restriction 4: The price of modification is not “absolute”, but weighed ording to the degree of improvement of the ability.
Note: There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. But, if you want to gain something, you must first pay a price...
Su Yang’s eyes lit up when he read the introduction.
He finally understood why the sess rate of this bncing scale was so low! ‘This is practically a divine tool, the divinest of the divine in fact!
‘Special abilities are all created automatically after points are added. Some of them are very interesting. But, due to certain limitations, they be very little in value.
‘Now, all of them can be adjusted to allow these abilities to be “reborn”. So, if this isn’t a divine tool, what is?’
At the thought of this, Su Yang could not control his emotions anymore. He wanted to test out this ability immediately! In fact, he even had a few things from his abilities that he wanted to modify...
For example, the Silver Ability that Su Yang had never used before, the [Truth Or Explosion].
This ability was actually very powerful. Not only could it allow Su Yang to obtain the real answer to any of his questions, a bomb would even be ced on the other party’s body. The bomb could locate the other party’s location, and it could be detonated at any fixed time.
Hence, it was a very convenient ability providing both support and control.
However, Su Yang did not use this ability very often. In fact, he had only used it once before. The reason was that the requirement for using this ability was very strict. It required Su Yang to invite the other party to y Truth or Dare to trigger this ability.
However, when chatting with someone, inviting them to y Truth or Dare out of the blue would be very strange. Hence, no normal person would ept such an invitation, much less their enemies.
When Su Yang thought about how he was in a heated battle with his enemy, yet he suddenly invited the other party to y a game of Truth or Dare, he felt that he was crazy...
Other than the Silver Ability, [Truth Or Explosion], Su Yang had many other special items that he wanted to adjust.
For example, the [Fruit- Loving Pen] that he often used in the past.
The purpose of this pen was to allow Su Yang to find people within 20 kilometers of him who knew his name.
In the early stages of Su Yang’s development, he had resolved many difficulties using this ability. However, now that Su Yang was developing globally, this ability was no longer practical.
After all, its 20-kilometer radius was too small, just enough to cover the entire Socot Ind even. In fact, it might not even cover the virtual space.
So, it was too useless.
Therefore, with this bncing scale, many special abilities and special items that had already been eliminated or were unable to be used due to the harsh conditions could now serve another purpose.
The only problem was the cost of using this bncing scale.
Su Yang studied the price of this bncing scale carefully and realized that his understanding of the price involved was still a little vague. ‘What’s this about the absolute price? Is it the corresponding price? Also, it even has to be a special item?
‘What’s the meaning of all this?’
Therefore, after researching for a long time without a solution, Su Yang decided to test it out personally.
The first special item to be tested was Su Yang’s [Lucky Disfiguring Brick], which he often used and would always be useful at critical moments.
The [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] had always been one of Su Yang’s trump cards. Many times, Su Yang had relied on it to turn the tides when he was fighting with his enemies.
In the past, Su Yang would use this brick once a month to increase his own development rate. However, as Su Yang progressed faster and faster, and the brick became less and less useful for that purpose, Su Yang had already treated it as his trump card.
After all, Su Yang was not sure if he would run into a situation where he had to rely on his “luck”.
So, he could only keep it around, just in case.
Now that he had the bncing scale, which had the ability of modification, Su Yang felt that he could modify the ability of special items!
At that thought, Su Yang told Little Deeny that he had seeded in adding the point. Then, he returned to the study room on the second floor and took out the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] that had turned into the most ordinary brick.
After taking it out, Su Yang ced the bncing scale on the table and wanted to ce the brick on its left side.
The bncing scale was very small. It was silvery-white in color and felt like it was made of aluminum. When ced together with the brick, not only was the color inconspicuous, but it was also smaller than the bncing scale. The brick was almost five times the size of the bncing scale.
Hence, Su Yang held the brick and gestured for a long time. He was at a loss. Luckily, there were no outsiders around. If there were, most of them would suspect that Su Yang was about to hit the bncing scale with the brick.
After gesticting for a long time, Su Yang recalled the introduction panel on the bncing scale. He remembered that there was a sentence on it: Put it on the bncing scale.
‘On?
‘Language is just such a profound thing... I can’t even understand it properly.
‘Does it... Just want me to ce the brick on top?
‘Or hold it above?
‘Or do I put the brick on top of something?’
As he was thinking, Su Yang tried to ce the brick on the bncing scale. With a sh of light, the brick in Su Yang’s hand disappeared.
Su Yang was shocked. However, the next moment, his vision turned dark.
It was as if he had been inside a circus space before. Suddenly, he was in a world of darkness. In this world of darkness, there was only arge bncing scale standing there. The bncing scale was indomitable and looked like it had existed since time immemorial.
The brick in Su Yang’s hand had already reached a small tform above the bncing scale. Su Yang, on the other hand, was below the bncing scale and could only look up at the bncing scale.
As the space around him changed, Su Yang started to have a few rules as to how to control the bncing scale in his mind. He just had to shout out the conditions that he wanted to change and the bncing scale would tilt.
The greater the impact of Su Yang’s modification, the more the bncing scale would tilt towards the left, and the higher the price Su Yang would have to pay. The greater the price, the more the bncing scale would tilt towards the right.
As long as the right side outweighed the left, Su Yang would be able to modify his special ability.
At the thought of this, Su Yang looked at the bncing scale in front of him. He raised his head and shouted, “I hope this lucky period cane once a day!”
As Su Yang named the ‘conditions’ of his modification, a rumbling sound echoed throughout. Along with the sound, the huge bncing scale slowly tilted to the left...
Then, it tilted to almost 80 degrees.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘That modification actually requires such a huge price?’
Fortunately, Su Yang was only trying to figure out the “degree” of this price, so he did not mind.
Immediately, he removed the chopsticks that he had been wearing, which were called Ke Bei, from his neck. This pair of chopsticks had an automatic warning effect on dangerous objects, so Su Yang had always kept it by his side.
Hence, at that moment, Su Yang wanted to test out the value of the item.
With that thought in mind, Su Yang threw his ne to the right. Even though he did not throw it high, the ne flew to the other end of the bncing scale as if it had a flying spell casted on it. Then, the bncing scale slowly tilted to the right for... 3 degrees.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Such a useful item for only 3 degrees?’
Su Yang was a little disappointed.
He took out another cookie from his pocket. This biscuit was the [Memory Master’s Special Wasabi Cookie] that Su Yang had added previously. It could improve one’s memory.
Su Yang had a total of 12 cookies, so he wanted to try them out.
He tossed the cookie onto the tray on the right, and the bncing scale epted it. Then it quivered, and nothing happened, it did not even move a single degree.
Su Yang was stunned.
‘This is a special item! Yet, it’s not even worth a single degree?
‘So... this bncing scale doesn’t have a setting where there would be a “minimal damage” done with every item, does it?’
Su Yang was a little disappointed.
He tried to throw the 10 cookies onto the right side of the bncing scale one by one. Only when he reached the ninth cookie did the bncing scale move slightly.
From this point of view, the bncing scale determined that only 27 cookies would be as worth as his [Danger Detecting Chopsticks].
And to modify the brick to be able to be used once a day, at least 720 cookies were needed.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘So, the modification condition I asked for is that excessive?’
As he thought about it, Su Yang tried to throw all the special items on him to test them.
In the end, he discovered that two pieces of [Unknown Sticky Note] were worth 4 degrees, [A Talent Printer That Likes To Jog] was worth 2 degrees, [Grass-Eating Iron Pot] was worth 0.5 degrees, [A Videotape To Make Up For Regrets] was worth 3 degrees, [Double-Sided Salted Fish Mask] was worth 1 degree...
At the end of the experiment, Su Yang even felt that the condition that he named was too much...
He could not help but take a step back, reducing it to once a week.
To his surprise, the bncing scale did not adjust the weight of the two sides. Instead, it returned all the items to Su Yang. After returning to zero, it dropped to 80 degrees again.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘So, based on the bncing scale’s judgement, the “level” of modification that I requested for is about the same? Instead, it’s only different in terms of its “degree”?
‘Then, could it be that the “price” represented by my special items have also changed?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang threw the special items up for further testing. In the end, he realized that the prices of most of the items had tripled. For example, the price of the [Danger Detecting Chopsticks] had risen to 9 degrees, and the price of the [Double-Sided Salted Fish Mask] had increased to 3 degrees.
In other words, from what bncing scales determined, “once a day” was three times the price of “once a week”.
Su Yang felt that it was understandable.
After all, even if it was modified to once a day, he would not use it for half an hour everyday.
At the thought of this, Su Yang could not help but have a sudden thought. ‘If I set the lucky period to be 24 hours and that the brick would be usable once a day, wouldn’t it be effective infinitely?
At that thought, Su Yang tried it out.
In the end, he discovered...
The price of having his lucky periodst for 24 hours was about five times the price of “once a day”.
However, once the two modification options werebined, Su Yang could not figure out how many special items would make a degree...
This was because no matter how many things Su Yang threw, the bncing scale would not budge. It was as if this modified ability, which would be a bug, could not take effect.
He did not know if it was because the price was too low or because there was no way to change it.
Su Yang was a little disappointed...
After testing the modification of the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick], Su Yang set his own conditions. He did not adjust the time of the brick. Instead, he set the brick so that it could store another “lucky” opportunity.
The cost of this small adjustment was not high. ording to the 70 degrees for the “once a day” condition, it was only 10 degrees, which was the equivalent of 100 cookies.
Su Yang took note of this number and decided to change it after adding a point for some useless items.
Right after that, Su Yang tried to modify the ability of [Truth or Explosion].
Compared to the brick, this ability was only intended to have its usage method modified. Furthermore, the abilities involved were not strong, so it only required 60 cookies.
On the other hand, the reason why Su Yang added a point for this bncing scale was to modify the [Descent] ability of his [Eye of Origins] so that his name could be more sensitive. However, the price for that was terrifying.
He did not know if it was because this was rted to thew of cause and effect, but just adding the name “Mr. Su” required 100 cookies.
Then, the cost of adding another keyword, “Jiadian”, directly increased the price to 300 cookies.
Initially, Su Yang thought that it might be because of the “word” that caused the price to be higher. For example, the price of the word “Jiadian” was higher than “Mr. Su”.
However, after changing the order, Su Yang realized that it was not the case.
The price was actually increasing ording to the number of keywords on a staircase format.
Su Yang was terrified.
So, he tried to modify it again to “being notified whenever someone thought of himself during a conversation”. Then... The price of this condition soared to a terrifying 1,500 cookies.
In other words, 50 [Danger Detecting Chopsticks] and 150 [Grass-Eating Iron Pot] would be required for the modification.
Even though Su Yang had thought that the price would be huge, he did not expect it to be that huge.
Hence, Su Yang was speechless.
‘When will I be able to finish modifying this...
‘Will I have to constantly add points and give birth to new special items just to modify this Silver Ability...?’
