Open your eyes.
This is a storefront covering only a dozen or so square meters.
It's currently three in the afternoon, and outside is a bustling small town street filled with cars coming and going.
Standing at the door, Zhang Feng walked slightly inside and sat on a simulated mahogany stool, scanning the surroundings of the room.
A lot of strange talismans were pasted on the walls.
To sum it up, it's all fake.
But I am a 'Feng Shui Master,' still the kind without spiritual energy.
At a glance, it's a Jianghu Sorcerer.
Reflecting, Zhang Feng adjusted his hairpin (bus captain's hat) and then looked at his attributes.
[Age: 45]
[Constitution: 21]
[Foundation: 6]
[Martial Arts: 6.5]
[Spirit Root: 1.2]
The Spirit Root is rather good.
Moreover, with the support of the Spirit Root, even if 'I' have not practiced or known any magic, the constitution is still quite high.
Using Visualization to sense for a moment, this world indeed has spiritual qi.
About a concentration of 1.5.
Having sensed the spiritual qi.
Zhang Feng, on one hand, awakened his spiritual thought while absorbing the spiritual qi.
Thanks to my studies in neurology and the neuron data in the virtual world.
The spiritual thought immediately opened in the next second.
A little more focus, sweeping through the meridians.
Again in the process of opening meridians and spirit cultivation.
Zhang Feng recalled memories.
In a fleeting moment, Zhang Feng knew this was 2007.
And there were some Feng Shui secret techniques in my memory.
However, in this secret technique, three sentences out of every ten are flattering words, and the remaining six are just to deceive people.
Only one has a bit of science, but not much.
It's like when a customer comes, you touch his hand to palm read, and upon discovering his palm is rough and his attire is rather plain.
You say something ambiguous like 'you've endured a lifetime of hardship,' which is quite safe.
Seeing a male customer's palms are fair and full, you say his family is well-off, and he's never done hard labor, which is also correct.
Even if you're wrong, the worst that can happen is they walk away without paying, but they won't smash you with a hammer.
But if you guess right, business will come.
The main tactic is a universal approach to let customers 'fit themselves' into the sayings.
The rest of it involves flattering words in the business, saying pleasant things, mentioning a disaster as a prelude, and then the money comes.
It's just that I appear to be a novice.
In a year of operating the store, nine out of ten customers left.
The remaining one remains half convinced.
Zhang Feng guessed that if I hadn't come, the shop might have closed by the end of this month.
Fortunately, no one accused me of fraud, otherwise, I'd have ceased operations long ago.
Fortune-telling isn't illegal, but if the amount of money involved gets too large, there will still be trouble.
Reflecting on this, Zhang Feng looked at the world information.
[Revival: 5]
[Adventure Level: 6+]
[Adventure Type: Special, Timeline Reversal]
[Main Quest: Survive 30 days]
[Non-Essential Main Quest: Survive 30 days]
[Identity: Jianghu Sorcerer]
[Note: For every ten days survived, one enhancement is earned]
[Maximum enhancements this time: 5]
...
After reading the information, seeing there was no one in the store and no nearby danger.
Zhang Feng didn't know if the quest began from here, so he decided to ignore it for now and focus on cultivation and choosing the remaining enhancement.
Looking again at the subsequent text.
[Choose your first enhancement]
[1: Constitution +2.7]
[2: Sensory Amplification]
[3: Defense]
Glancing at it, indeed, the timeline reversal options don't showcase much for enhancement.
It's entirely on oneself.
The timeline challenge is considered a long-standing 'cumulative test.'
Zhang Feng was completely calm, skipping over 1, and directly looking at 2 and 3.
[Sensory Amplification: Rare, Rare]
[Effect 1: Reaction Speed -0.009]
[Effect 2: Five senses enhancement by 3%]
The amplification isn't high, but it's fundamental for combat power.
Zhang Feng looked, noted the attributes for comparison, and then looked at 3.
[Defense: Rare, Epic]
[Effect 1: Constitution +1, Foundation +1]
[Effect 2: Extra 10% boost in physical defense]
'Another rule-based defense?'
Zhang Feng quite liked such 'extra defense' type options.
However, there's not much time in this world, only 30 days.
To better calculate the effects, weighing the pros and cons.
Zhang Feng first felt his own constitution and sorted out what he learned.
If he worked hard at cultivation, it would take only ten days to get his constitution to around 90.
Because the initial stage is an explosive period, changes happen quickly.
I'm also well-versed in these techniques.
Then, with a constitution of 90, it's about possible to withstand a bullet from a regular rifle with just muscles clamping it down.
Reaching 'non-human' in ten days.
Afterward, by adding the solid terms, essentially able to reach where bullets merely scratch the surface.
Especially such 'additional enhancement' terms, Zhang Feng has chosen them twice before, experienced them twice, and now understands how they are 'calculated specifically.'
First, it is not added together with one's defense.
But when a bullet comes, under the influence of defense rules, the kinetic energy is first reduced by 10%.
The remaining 90%, is up to you to handle.
This is a 'big reduction' directly.
Making a weapon that could originally breach my defense, weakened to a point where I could handle it.
But if it was directly added to me, not additional, at most just enhancing my defense by 10%, instead of decreasing a larger base on the opponent's side.
For example, if my current defense is 150 and increased by 10%, it becomes 165, an increase of 15 points.
The opponent's damage is 200, reduced by 10%, becomes 180, which is 20 points.
The extra calculation method is higher.
Of course, if my defense is high enough to far surpass the opponent's attack.
This extra 10% defense will form another calculation mechanism.
For instance, first subtracting my defense from the opponent's attack, then calculating the final damage.
This reverse calculation method ultimately makes it impossible for the opponent to cause any damage to me, creating a kind of 'damage immunity' effect.
