'Wow, a golden legend!'
The black silk ribbon, the moment it was untied, turned into starlight and dissipated into nothingness.
Tang looked at the golden light radiating from the gift box, completely obscuring what was inside. He remained silent for a moment, and seeing that the golden light didn't fade for a long time, he finally said, "System, turn off the special effects."
'Oh, oh.'
The light dimmed, and there was only one item inside the not-so-large gift box.
It was a jet-black monocular telescope made of some unknown material.
At the same time, the System's prompt sounded in his ears.
The number of craftsman attempts, appraisal attempts, and knowledge fragments were all obtained by Tang at the moment of opening the box. Then there was also a new 'bionic marionette' module slot.
Sleepy and someone sent a pillow...
But these were not the main points.
Tang took the black monocular telescope out of the gift box.
It was very heavy, a completely different texture from when he shook the gift box earlier.
Tang pondered for a moment, then looked at the System's introduction that appeared.
'Astronomical Telescope for Observing Stars.'
'Quality: System Exclusive.'
'In the night sky, the human eye can see at most more than six thousand stars in the entire sky, most of which are stars that can emit light themselves... But since the world has undergone earth-shattering changes, human exploration of the starry sky has stagnated for a long time. This is not only because of the indescribable existences, but also because there are no longer tools that can accurately observe the stars!'
'Fortunately, the Astronomical Telescope for Observing Stars has won you this opportunity to directly observe the stars!'
'But, is what the astronomical telescope shows real? Illusory? Past? Present? Or future? Is it what you know? Or the unsolved mysteries of the world? What are the extinguished stars like? Who is the embodiment of the shadows that shroud the astral world...'
'Use the 'Astronomical Telescope for Observing Stars' to explore the truth hidden behind various unsolved mysteries. You will be able to see all their reality!'
'What are the real stars like? I believe you are also very much looking forward to it, right?'
'System reminder, it is best to use it with the 'Mosaic Glasses for Observing Stars'~'
'Astronomical Telescope for Observing Stars'?
Tang's expression was inscrutable. He took out an item he had obtained from the System upgrade earlier from the System's storage.
'Mosaic Glasses for Observing Stars.'
Same beginning, series type, set type props?
"If that's the case, wouldn't there be something like a 'Star Observing Observatory,' 'Magnified Objective Lens/Eyepiece for Observing Stars,' 'Finder Scope for Observing Stars,' 'Clothes for Observing Stars,' and so on?"
It felt like collecting a set could summon a divine dragon.
"Moreover, the structure of an astronomical telescope is not that simple," Tang weighed the monocular telescope in his hand.
The content mentioned in the System's introduction subconsciously reminded Tang of the world where the 'Observer' state was located.
Plus, the System had also said that the 'Mosaic Glasses for Observing Stars' came from the Knowledge Wilderness, not from it.
He had originally wanted to risk directly entering that world of the 'Observer' state once, but he didn't expect this thing to arrive in his hands before the System and the theater core could discuss a thing or two.
Well, under normal circumstances, before advancing to Sequence Four, he couldn't use the 'Observer' module. If he wanted to guard against Amon, this item was the best option.
The Knowledge Wilderness really thought things through...
It was just the probability. Could the so-called 'Surprise Gift Pack' be the Knowledge Wilderness randomly dropping corresponding items based on his situation?
Like giving a key item to lower the difficulty.
It was just that that thing probably couldn't monitor his surroundings at any time, making this item somewhat redundant now.
Tang frowned, pondered for a moment, and decided to try the effect first.
After putting on the mosaic glasses, Tang brought his eyes close to the telescope, and the scene he saw was very blurry.
He began to adjust the eyepiece and objective lens, and the scene in front of him gradually became clearer.
At the same time, Tang felt that this item was rapidly absorbing his spirituality.
"The consumption rate is not too large, much smaller than the spirituality consumed after entering that world. This should be related to the difference between the spirit body entering for observation and observing with just one eye."
"So, what will I see?" The thing he most urgently needed to confirm right now...
Continuing to adjust, Tang began to recall what he had seen and thought when he saw Amon, through divination of his own spirituality.
"Let's try and see if I can directly see Amon's avatar."
The first thing Tang saw was a bustling street.
The speed at which his spirituality was consumed increased as soon as he saw the picture.
This was not a fixed value; it would change with the observed object, clarity, and distance.
Tang calmly continued to adjust the picture.
The scene in the telescope kept zooming in, zooming in, almost there. He saw a living room, a young man who looked somewhat weak.
Continue to adjust.
A blurry figure appeared on the weak young man. At the same time, around him, on the table, on the insects on the trees outside the window, and on some dust in the air, faint blurry figures gradually appeared.
Tang didn't zoom in further to see the physical state of Amon's avatar. That would consume a lot of spirituality.
As long as he could confirm it was a parasite, that was enough.
"It's really dense..."
The mosaic glasses didn't trigger. This observation wouldn't attract the attention of Amon's avatar.
The picture continued to adjust. Tang saw the vendors on the street.
Several of the vendors also had Amon's shadow on them.
Continue to adjust.
Tingen East End, the slums, a place mixed with corpses and unbearable stench.
The green-headed flies hovering over the corpses also had blurry figures on them.
Continue...
Tingen West End...
Continue...
Tingen North End...
Continue...
Limited range, unable to see the location of the main body, the maximum observable range was only within Tingen.
Tang turned his gaze to the location of his own territory.
His spirituality was rapidly depleting. A Sequence Five's spirituality couldn't withstand such consumption.
Tang saw a young man.
It was a man holding a long sword, looking a bit baby-faced, with the image characteristics of a rich landlord's silly son... the kind who looked very easy to deceive.
Tang's expression became stern, and after zooming in, his expression became strange again.
Putting down the telescope, Tang sat on the high-backed chair, speechless for a long time.
'Host?'
"Don't talk, let me be quiet."
After waiting for a while, Tang finally said faintly, "Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
System: '?'
Tang ignored the System's confusion and said to himself, "The good news is, Amon's avatar hasn't come knocking yet, at least we still have time to make some arrangements and hide ourselves."
"As for the bad news... a parasite has come to my place, and Amon might be here to find him."
