Chapter 048: Mirror Bro, Say Something!

Inside the wooden cabin.

Yan Cang finished his lunch with great satisfaction.

The lingering aftertaste of the last sip of clear soup still swirled on his tongue.

This extravagant lunch, centered around the "Clear Soup Lion's Head," perfectly fulfilled his expectations of top-tier cuisine.

The meat was as delicate as paste, and the clear soup was fresh and rich without being greasy.

Every side dish perfectly complemented the brilliance of the main course, yet each stood out on its own.

"So delicious..." He patted his slightly bulging stomach and leaned back into the comfortable chair.

He felt that after eating this meal, both his body and mind had become completely relaxed.

After resting for a moment, the warmth in his stomach gradually spread.

Then, he suddenly thought of the "new toy" he had impulsively bought during the meal.

That [Myriad Manifestation Mirror].

Just as Yu Jing had speculated, at this stage, the only one capable and willing to spend nearly nine hundred thousand Fate Points on this Mysterious Artifact...

Aside from possible official organizations, it was probably only him, the unfathomable [Chief].

In truth, Yan Cang had bought the mirror quite casually.

He had simply been halfway through lunch when he suddenly wanted a refreshing drink, so he checked the Trading House.

And there, he happened to spot this mirror, which had just been listed and had peculiar functions.

The price was indeed staggering.

But then he thought, compared to the value of a Golden Chest, it was nothing.

And since he was "rolling in wealth," he casually snapped it up.

He hadn't thought much about it at the time; it was purely out of a mindset of "This thing is interesting, let's buy it and see."

This kind of extravagantly inhuman "spending philosophy"...

Was, to some extent, reshaped by the detailed energy consumption records of [Fate Protection].

Although the "life-buying money" from that bear back then had only been a little over seven hundred Fate Points, which naturally wasn't much.

But who could blame him for later curiously estimating the consumption of other operations?

Among them, the "fixed expense" of anchoring the Golden Chest once a day was naturally unavoidable.

As a result, measured in Fate Source, it wasn't much.

But if calculated in Fate Points, it was an astronomical figure he could hardly have imagined before.

In comparison, the price of this mirror, less than a million Fate Points, was merely a drop in the bucket.

However, now that the [Myriad Manifestation Mirror] was in hand.

After carefully pondering it over.

Yan Cang suddenly felt that this mirror might be more useful than he had imagined.

At the very least, this very detailed appraisal function could be used in conjunction with the "As You Wish Body."

Beyond that, the massive storage space also had great utility.

Combined with the appraisal function...

From this, a rough plan for adding new features to the Fate Net began to take shape in his mind.

But he needed to verify it first.

With a slight mental shift, Yan Cang took the extraordinary [Myriad Manifestation Mirror] out of his Mental Space.

The mirror felt cool in his hand, its dark surface deep, with smooth cloud patterns along the edges.

He curiously aimed the mirror at the unwashed dishes and leftover food on the table.

A faint glimmer flashed across the mirror's surface.

Regarding the detailed information flow about those food residues, it surfaced.

Things like ingredients, remaining calories, predicted decay time, and so on... it was so meticulous it was almost boring.

"The appraisal is indeed very thorough."

Yan Cang muttered to himself.

Then, he aimed the mirror at himself.

The ripples on the mirror's surface became noticeably more intense, like a lake surface after a stone is thrown.

Following that, a more complex and massive flow of information surged forth, densely arranged across the mirror's space.

The information covered almost every physiological data point from the tips of his hair to the soles of his feet: strength, agility, endurance, hormone levels, real-time status of each organ, nerve reaction speed, and muscle fiber type ratio.

There were even extremely trivial data points like "mild eye fatigue" and "temporary 0.3% increase in basal metabolic rate due to recent high-calorie food intake."

"This is dizzying to look at..."

Yan Cang glanced over it and then fixed his gaze on the entries marked "sub-health" and "slight deviation."

Good, the target was clear.

Immediately after, his mind synchronized with the [As You Wish Body] Talent, and he began to correct his body.

The next second.

The corresponding parts became active, gradually correcting themselves.

Those slight hunches and minor cervical spine misalignments caused by long-term desk study...

Were all quietly corrected in no time.

Beyond that, there was also the issue marked "hormone secretion disorder," which needed adjustment.

Among them were minor problems caused by irregular sleep schedules, but more... were due to puberty?

Yan Cang saw one of the annotations:

"Life Stage: Puberty (Peak growth and development period; overall high hormone levels are a normal physiological phenomenon)"

He paused his movements and instinctively thought, "Entering puberty? How should I..."

"Wait, there's no need to adjust this!"

After realizing this, Yan Cang quickly stopped his actions.

Even with his shallow knowledge of biology, he knew that messing with this could have serious consequences.

He chose to skip this item.

As for the rest, there wasn't much left.

After this targeted adjustment, Yan Cang felt as if some invisible minor burdens had been lifted from his body, leaving him completely relaxed.

He sighed with emotion: With this mirror, the "As You Wish Body" had become much easier to use.

However, he also felt that much of the information displayed by the [Myriad Manifestation Mirror]...

Was overly redundant in daily life.

"Maybe I can collapse it? I don't need such detail." Yan Cang looked at the mirror thoughtfully.

"For example, strength, endurance, and physique could all be merged into one physical attribute. I can expand it to check the details when needed."

"That way, it would look much cleaner visually."

As this thought of adjusting the interface became clear.

The densely packed attribute columns on the mirror's surface actually began to change accordingly.

After a ripple, most of the entries were summarized and collapsed.

"Oh? It actually works?"

Yan Cang's eyes lit up, and he became interested.

He simply went all out.

"For the body status, let's just display an overall [Health Percentage], with specific minor issues placed on a secondary page."

"As for the basic attributes, there's no need to break them down so finely—they can be merged into three main categories."

Yan Cang thought for a moment and said, "Specifically, they represent physical fitness, supernatural energy, and mental willpower!"

"As for names..."

He recalled traditional culture and said, "Let's just call them [Essence, Qi, Spirit]!"

With these intentions set, the data on the mirror surface shifted and transformed like the most obedient programming interface.

After a few attempts.

A brand-new, concise attribute interface steadily appeared in the mirror:

[Name: Yan Cang]

[Age: 16]

[Status: 99.8% (Full, Mild Pleasure, Puberty)]

[Essence: 0.9] (Expand for details: Comprehensive rating of strength, endurance, agility, recovery, and physical health)

[Qi: 2.3] (Expand for details: Sword Qi intensity, control precision, recovery speed, energy attribute)

[Spirit: 1.7] (Expand for details: Mental strength, mental resilience, thinking speed, perception sensitivity)

[Talent: As You Wish Body]

[Skills: Mental Space (Peak Mastery), Sword Nurturing Art (Peak Mastery - Active)]

"Not bad! Simple, intuitive, and clear at a glance!"

Looking at his design, Yan Cang felt quite satisfied.

As for the 1 point of [Essence] in the data?

Well, it roughly corresponds to the average comprehensive physical fitness of a healthy adult male.

Since he was still underage and his body was still developing, having 0.9 wasn't bad at all.

However, as long as he continued to refine his body through the Sword Nurturing Art's "Refining Essence into Qi" and maintained it with the "As You Wish Body"...

Breaking through 1.0 points would be a piece of cake.

The [Qi] attribute represented supernatural energy, which was naturally 0 for ordinary people.

He had only obtained the Sword Nurturing Art a day ago, yet he had already cultivated a value of 2.3—a remarkable effect.

This was, of course, thanks to the high starting point provided by decades of cultivation experience and the "unlimited endurance" support from the Energy Pool.

As for [Spirit], his being significantly higher than ordinary people was likely due to the invisible tempering of his mental and spiritual strength while loading the massive experience packs of the two skills.

Yan Cang pondered inwardly as he looked at the three major attributes on the concise interface.

Then, his gaze swept over the "Talent" column.

Suddenly, he felt something was off.

He took another look: [Talent: As You Wish Body]

It seemed... something was missing?

After a moment of stunned silence, Yan Cang realized.

"Wait! Where's my 'Great Fate Art'?"

He grabbed both sides of the [Myriad Manifestation Mirror] and shook it up and down carefully.

"Mirror bro, say something!"
