Chapter 245 The Shoes That Weighed On
[Current Oddity: Heavy Shoes - Left]
[Rank: 711]
【Characteristic 1: Desensitizing Force Field】
Description: A gravitational field with a radius of 20 meters is created around the wearer. The movement speed of all objects within the field is forcibly reduced, and this effect cannot be mitigated by conventional means. The wearer is unaffected. (Note: I really didn't mean to hold you back!)
Feature 2: Gravity Anchor Point
Description: Within the gravitational field, the wearer can set three anchor points. These anchor points are not spatially restricted, only time-limited (3 minutes). Once set, anchor points cannot be modified. During the anchor point's duration, the wearer can jump between the three anchor points, with only one jump opportunity per anchor point. (Note: Jumping is not teleportation, but it's similar!)
【Feature 3: No trace left when stepping into empty air】
[Description: Within the field's range, the wearer can briefly stand in mid-air without physical support by being pulled by the force field's gravity. Each step creates a stable foothold in the air. If there is no physical foothold, the wearer can walk a maximum of 10 steps continuously in mid-air. (Note: Don't ask me what happens after 10 steps, because I don't know either!)]
[The cost: Difficulty in making progress]
[Comment: The road is under your feet, and it's also in your shoes. (Note: Walk other people's paths, leaving them with no path to walk!)]
This feature seems pretty strong!
Whether it's the inert force field, the gravity anchor point, or the ability to leave no trace when stepping into empty space, these are all quite practical characteristics.
These three characteristics are interconnected, forming a very unique tactical system.
Restrict movement, control the area, and gain unconventional mobility.
Moreover, its ranking among the rare items is as high as 711.
This number was even higher than he had expected.
Staring at the slender, strange object in his hand, Xu Si couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
It's just a pair of shoes, only the left one. How is he supposed to wear it?
Moreover, its cost is quite unique.
Does this mean he can no longer be called Brother Dao, but instead has to be called Brother Limp?
He simply put on the strange item, and the shoes fit him perfectly, as if they were custom-made for him.
Instantly, a strange sensation spread from my left foot.
Xu Si subconsciously moved his left foot and didn't feel anything unusual for the time being.
He flipped off the roof of the car, his boots landing almost silently on the soft grass, the feeling of being unrestrained by gravity was very strange.
Xu Si tried taking two steps. Although his left foot didn't feel sluggish, it did seem different from his right foot.
No matter how hard he tried to control it, he actually started to limp when he walked.
It's like how the left foot is naturally several times heavier than the right foot.
This feeling is contradictory to the lightness itself, yet it is real.
He tried to activate the 'sluggish force field' property, an invisible force field with a radius of 20 meters that quietly expanded around him.
However, the force field range of 20 meters is a bit short, and it would be somewhat inadequate if encountering strange phenomena like Lou Mi.
If it were a force field with a radius of 50 meters, that would be amazing.
Under the influence of the stellar pulse, the air within the force field seemed to thicken slightly, and the frequency of the grass blades swaying slowed down.
"This is the 'Desensitization Field'..." Xu Sixing's eyes gleamed slightly in the night.
This seems to have a similar concept to the "Ring of Time".
With a slight thought, he tried setting anchor points in different locations in the air, on the ground, and underground, and the marking process went very smoothly.
He could clearly "perceive" that three locations within the force field were marked invisibly.
Since it actually works, it's much more feasible to implement.
However, as the description states, once the anchor point is set, it cannot be changed and can only last for three minutes.
He chose one anchor point in place, one at the edge of the force field in the air, and one three meters underground.
Then, he began to try "leapfrogging".
The target is the edge of the air force field, which is 20 meters above the ground.
There was no light or shadow, no spatial fluctuations.
Xu Si was just "thinking" about that anchor point when his left foot naturally stepped on the ground.
The next instant, his figure vanished from the spot and abruptly reappeared in the air.
The whole process was so fast it was almost instantaneous, but Xu Si clearly felt that it was not a spatial jump.
It was more like... a sudden, violent distortion and pull of the gravitational field, forcibly "lifting" his body up.
Xu Si stood steadily twenty meters in the air, with no solid support beneath his feet. He relied entirely on the "walking without leaving a trace" characteristic of the [Weighted Shoes] to gain leverage from the anchor point at the edge of the force field.
The night breeze ruffled his red hair as he looked down at the silent camp and water below, a crimson light flickering faintly in the darkness.
This felt very different from his usual sword-riding experience, and the feeling of his right foot being empty was also not good!
He carefully savored the subtle sensation of the "leap" he had just experienced.
I tried using "Tread Without a Trace" to take a few more steps in the air, and then jumped back to the ground again.
He did not experience the weightlessness or other discomfort he had imagined.
As for underground, he'd better not try it for now; if he makes a fool of himself, he'll truly become a laughing stock.
After his jump, the anchor points in the air and on the ground disappeared one after another, and his attempts to set up anchor points again were unsuccessful.
He could only reset it after 3 minutes, when the underground anchor point disappeared.
This does have some limitations for him.
"Interesting." Xu Si looked down at the ancient-looking [Heavy Shoes] on his left foot.
The sense of limping caused by the cost still exists.
However, with these three characteristics making up for it, it seems insignificant.
At worst, I can just fly on my sword wherever I go in the future.
Although doing this might seem a bit pretentious.
However, with this extraordinary item, he had more room to maneuver with his sword.
Moreover, even without the "Star Guide," he can still fly, which is the most crucial point.
The night was as dark as ink, but Xu Si was wide awake.
The brand-new "Heavy Shoes" on the left foot created a strange sense of contrast.
Although his feet felt light as if they were nothing, he walked with a noticeable limp, as if his left leg was dragging an invisible mountain.
The price to pay, "making things difficult on the left," is no joke.
So he simply stopped trying to balance his gait.
I use a star guide instead of a walking stick when I walk normally.
He won't take the road he's given; he'll just drift along.
Meanwhile, a transformation was also taking place inside the Mengshi vehicle.
Yang Fan never expected that Fu Xiaojian would exchange a Potion of Awakening for him.
Little did he know that he had already been chosen as a partner by Fu Xiaojian!
Fu Xiaojian had three reasons for choosing him.
Firstly, he was one of the earliest members of the convoy, and they had been traveling together since the very beginning. Although Fu Xiaojian did not pay much attention to him, this connection was undeniable.
Secondly, Yang Fan's niche on the bus was extremely awkward.
Xiao Wu and Liu Ting are drivers, and they are deeply connected to Tashan.
Fu Xiaojian would not be suitable to choose either of the other two groups.
Yang Fan is the only one who is relatively isolated.
He was ashamed to associate with Qiu Biao and his group, and he also felt out of place with the three young students.
The third reason is Fu Xiaojian's long-term observation.
As the team leader, failing to observe the team members is a dereliction of duty.
So, after the old butler died.
Yang Fan was his best choice for backup.
This reserve force is especially important before he steps into Sequence 4.
