"Skill Book Copier?"
(☆o☆)
"This thing is awesome!"
He just happened to have a copy of [Skill Book · Slide Tackle] on him.
"Can this thing directly copy it?"
"Let's try it."
Ethan directly learned it.
[Skill Book Copier: A cheat tool used to copy skill books. Cannot copy items other than skill books (for example: scrolls, maps…). Crafting requirements: Divine Wood 99/2, Five-Colored Beast Core 1/1, Platinum 10/1, Bloodthirsty Snow Bat Eyeballs 64/10, Spirit Stones 2797/10]
[PS: For every 10 copies of skill books, you must add another 10 Spirit Stones.]
"So the consumable for this thing is actually Spirit Stones?"
Ethan looked at the crafting requirements for the Skill Book Copier. They were pretty strict, especially the Five-Colored Beast Core and Divine Wood, which were really hard to get.
If he had not happened to fight a whole group of tree spirits, he probably would not have been able to get this thing at all.
As for consuming Spirit Stones, one Spirit Stone to copy one skill book, that price was already cheaper than photocopying exam papers at the school gate, so what was there for Ethan to complain about?
He could just copy a Slide Tackle skill. Even though it could only be used once a day, in the current situation, it might just save his life.
"Craft!"
[Divine Wood -2, Five-Colored Beast Core -1, Platinum -1, Bloodthirsty Snow Bat Eyeballs -10, Spirit Stones -10]
The next second, a thick wooden book appeared in Ethan's backpack.
Ethan took it out. The book was about ten centimeters thick, A4-sized, with all four corners inlaid with platinum. It looked extremely beautiful.
The Skill Book Copier could be opened. Ethan flipped it open to take a look.
"Oh ho!"
Inside, there was actually a B5-sized groove, just right for placing a skill book.
And above and below the groove were five red eyeballs each, rolling around, as if they were alive.
Especially when Ethan opened the copier, those eyeballs all turned together to look in Ethan's direction, as if they could see, making it feel creepy.
"Damn, this design is pretty eldritch!"
Although the principle was unknown, the eyeballs represented scanners, and the groove inside was like the scanner bed itself.
The entire copier looked just like a modern photocopier. Totally reasonable.
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by those eyeballs, Ethan hurriedly put the skill book in.
[Copy ___ copies?]
"10 copies!"
But to be safe, Ethan decided to make ten copies in one go to see what happened.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A streak of white light flashed inside the Skill Book Copier.
It was exactly like the scanning light that turns on when a photocopier is copying something.
And every time a white light flashed, Ethan's backpack gained one identical skill book.
Ethan took one out to look at it…
[Skill Book · Slide Tackle (Fake): This is a very powerful skill. As long as you have a blade in your hand, you can slide tackle with 100 percent success. Whether the opponent is a lion or a tiger, with one slide tackle, you are guaranteed to rip its guts out.]
[PS: Can only be used once every 24 hours. (Cannot be copied)]
You could not say it was exactly the same, you could only say it was copy and paste.
Aside from the word "Fake" appearing in the skill book description, and the note at the end saying it could not be copied, that meant, other than the original skill book, even if Ethan sold this copied skill book to someone else, and that person also happened to have a copier, they still would not be able to copy it.
That was nice.
As for Ethan himself, as long as he did not use up the original skill book, he could produce skills endlessly, paying only one Spirit Stone each time.
"I really am a lucky loot god. Otherwise, how could I get this kind of cheat item?"
"Hahahaha!"
[Learn: Skill Book · Slide Tackle (Fake)]
Ethan first learned one fake skill to see if there was any difference.
After using the skill, he instantly felt something explode in his head, like a big bang, and then he gained some corresponding memories related to slide tackling.
For example, how many steps of run-up were needed before sliding, and where to start the slide for the best effect.
How to slide with less effort. When facing a 49-meter-long blade held upright, you had to aim for the gaps in the scales, so you could slide through faster and better.
"What a strange skill."
"But this skill… could it really deal with the magma octopus?"
"And octopuses, they crawl along the ground, right?"
"How am I supposed to slide tackle that?"
"That is a damn problem!"
The difficulty was a bit high.
After putting away the [Skill Book Copier], Ethan learned the other blueprint, [Compressor].
[Compressor: Can store 100 units of materials inside a capsule and restore them to their original form at any time. A multiple-time winner of the Life Festival Grand Prize, a rare and excellent product! Crafting requirements: Enchanted Ore 14/1, Spirit Stones 2787/1]
Compress 100 units of materials into a capsule for storage, and restore them instantly.
'Is it not just like the capsules used for storage in Dragon Ball?'
'Store things anytime, take them out anytime.'
( ͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
Ethan immediately thought of a great idea.
Although it was pretty dirty, using it to deal with octopus balls…
"Oh yeah, to deal with the magma octopus monster, the effect would definitely be amazing!"
"Craft!"
[Compressor +1, Enchanted Ore -1, Spirit Stones -1]
Looking at the pill-sized black capsule in his hand, Ethan could not figure out how this thing could hold 100 units of materials.
But considering that his backpack could hold a thousand units of materials and still be light as nothing on his back, Ethan instantly understood.
When in doubt, quantum mechanics.
Then if he put hundreds of capsules into his backpack, would that not instantly turn a mid-tier backpack into a high-tier, or even infinite backpack?
Ethan was just thinking about how to exploit a bug.
But the next second, reality proved that the system had already thought of this.
It absolutely would not allow anyone to exploit bugs.
[Spatial items cannot be placed inside spatial items.]
No chance.
With no other option, Ethan could only put the capsule into his pocket.
After that, Ethan used the Skill Book Copier to copy ten copies of [Grand Fireball Spellbook (Fake)], then used one of the knockoff fake products.
[Congratulations: You have obtained the title of Beginner Mage.]
A flash of inspiration appeared in Ethan's mind.
Immediately after, his brain awakened some strange knowledge related to magic.
For example, how to gather fire elements, and how to channel the fire elements through his arm, then condense them outside his body.
He tried it out.
"Grand Fireball Technique!"
Ethan struck an extremely cool pose.
