Chapter 089: Visualization

After receiving the meal notification, Yu Jing's suspended heart finally settled back into place.

She finished the slightly cooled Longjing tea in her cup, easing her mood.

Then, she looked at the update announcement that had just popped up on the Fate Net.

"Fate Net Feature Update Announcement — New Totem 'Five Finger Realm' Added, Spell Technique Ability System"

The announcement was as concise as ever:

[Fate Net Feature Update: New Totem 'Five Finger Realm' added. Users can learn six spell techniques by visualizing this totem. For details, please enter the Visualization Interface to view.]

Yu Jing's gaze lingered on these lines for a moment.

"Visualization... Spell techniques..."

She murmured these two keywords under her breath, the faint blue light in her eyes flickering slightly.

This update seemed quite unusual.

The previous updates, whether the Attribute Panel or the Good Fortune Coin System, leaned more toward supportive optimizations.

But in this update announcement, words like totem, spell techniques, and visualization conveyed a completely different meaning.

A new feature that allows everyone to gain spell technique abilities through visualization!

However, whether it was powerful or not still depended on the actual effect.

Yu Jing suppressed the speculation in her mind.

With a thought, she clicked on the newly appeared [Visualization] entry.

The next moment, her consciousness felt as if it was pulled into an endless void.

A massive hand filled her entire field of vision.

It was a multicolored giant hand.

Its base color was a deep pitch-black, and each of the five fingers bore a profound, distinct hue.

Earth yellow, pale gold, frost white, black-red, deep blue—the five fingers emitted different auras in the darkness.

An indescribable sense of oppression surged toward her, making Yu Jing's heart tighten slightly.

Then, information about the six spell techniques automatically appeared.

[Taotie Curse: Converts food into bodily energy, restoring spirit, physical strength, and injuries.]

[Eternal Fortification Curse: Grants indestructible defense.]

[Karma Curse: Locks onto a target, ensuring attacks hit.]

[Immortal Slaying Curse: Grants true damage to attacks.]

[Body Binding Curse: Halts the target's thoughts and actions.]

[Divine Travel Curse: Enters Divine Travel Vision, greatly enhancing speed and reaction.]

Yu Jing's eyes widened slightly.

Six spell techniques... covering recovery, defense, attack, control, tracking, and speed.

It was practically a complete combat system.

This could no longer be described as "unusual."

It was equivalent to opening a gateway to supernatural abilities for all Fate Net users.

Yu Jing's breathing quickened, and her heartbeat accelerated a few beats.

She clearly understood what this meant.

Superpowers for everyone?

This thought flashed through her mind, giving her a sense of unreality.

But soon, she forced herself to calm down.

"How strong is it exactly?"

That was the key.

If it was just a negligible boost, it would be little more than a bonus.

But if the effect was significant enough...

She took a deep breath and began carefully examining the detailed descriptions of the six spell techniques.

Recovery, defense, attack, tracking, control, speed...

Each one was crucial.

But for her, recovery ability was clearly the most crucial.

The workload of the People's Union Association was immense, and prolonged high-intensity information processing took a staggering toll on both spirit and physical strength.

If she could quickly restore her energy through the Taotie Curse, her work efficiency would skyrocket.

However, the Divine Travel Curse was equally tempting.

The value of a speed boost was undeniable in combat and movement.

But when she looked at the deep blue little finger, an additional explanation made her decision:

[When visualizing any finger, the Taotie Curse will gain one-third of its effect.]

Yu Jing's gaze sharpened slightly.

This setup...

In other words, no matter which spell technique she specialized in, her recovery ability would improve simultaneously.

With that, she could confidently choose a speed-type spell technique.

"Divine Travel Curse."

She made her choice, locking her consciousness onto the little finger.

The next instant, her vision shifted dramatically.

That giant hand rapidly enlarged before her eyes, and the little finger, like a mountain piercing the clouds, blocked out everything.

Its tip shimmered with deep blue electric arcs, flickering to illuminate the endless darkness.

It was a strange sense of immersion, as if she had been pulled into a world filled with deep blue lightning.

Yu Jing felt herself swallowed by that deep blue electric light, her consciousness weaving through countless tiny bolts of lightning.

Then, the various thoughts that arose were swiftly assimilated.

She seemed to transform into strands of dancing lightning.

An invisible force washed over her like a tide, and a connection—both unfamiliar and familiar—quietly established itself.

It was as if an invisible thread had been added between her and some concept?

The moment this thought emerged, it was instantly assimilated into the blue electric arcs.

Her consciousness once again fell into a state of emptiness.

She didn't know how long it lasted—perhaps just the span of a single thought, or perhaps a very long time.

Her mind stretched, and time became viscous and slow.

When that immersive feeling abruptly receded, Yu Jing's consciousness returned to reality.

It felt like she had been wandering in another dimension for quite a while, but when she checked the time, only a few seconds had passed.

She shook her head with a sense of loss.

Coming back to her senses, she looked at the Fate Net's notification box.

[Through visualizing the Little Finger Realm, your connection with the Divine Travel Curse has increased by +2.]

[Through visualizing the Little Finger Realm, your connection with the Taotie Curse has increased by +1.]

Yu Jing stared at these two notifications, her gaze lingering on the numbers for a moment.

A total of 3 points of connection.

Among them, the Divine Travel Curse accounted for 2 points, and the Taotie Curse for 1 point.

This was somewhat similar to her current Spirit attribute value.

Thinking of this, Yu Jing instinctively opened the Fate Net's attribute panel.

[Name: Yu Jing]

[Age: 27]

[Status: 79% (Mentally exhausted, empty-minded state, thinking)]

[Essence: 0.91]

[Qi: 9.53]

[Spirit: 3.18]

[Talent: Digital Heart]

[Skills: Light Body Nine-Segment Guiding Technique (Entering the Hall)]

...

Her talent and the many days of work with the People's Union Association had significantly improved two of her attributes.

In particular, the [Qi] attribute was close to breaking into double digits.

A Spirit stat just over 3 points was by no means weak.

Yu Jing's gaze settled on this number, and she reached a conclusion in her mind.

"Is the benefit of each visualization determined by one's own Spirit attribute?"

"That should be it. I'll confirm it later based on everyone's feedback."

Then, she shifted her attention to the two newly acquired spell techniques:

[Divine Travel Curse Lv1 (2/10): Speed and reaction receive a slight boost; when actively used, you enter Divine Travel Vision, gaining a significant increase in speed.]

[Taotie Curse Lv1 (1/10): Digestion and absorption receive a slight boost; when actively used, you enter the Devour State, rapidly decomposing ingested matter and converting it into body energy.]

"Lv1..."

Yu Jing paused for a moment on the level indicator, then realized it could be improved through continuous visualization.

This was only the first visualization.

As the depth of the connection increased over time, the effects should see a qualitative leap.

But for now, it was time to test the abilities.
