Fangzheng was originally a little excited, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately felt disheartened. He felt cold…
Fangzheng said,
System, you should speak less in the future. That can allow This Penniless Monk to live a few more years. Who knows, perhaps This Penniless Monk might renounce asceticism early?
The System chuckled.
Then, shall we begin the draw now?
Fangzheng nodded.
Yes!
The System said,
Ding! Congratulations. You have obtained an All Beings Mask. Do you want to accept it now?
Fangzheng was taken aback. All Beings Mask? What was that?
However, Fangzheng recalled that the System’s products were all exquisite. He chose to accept it.
Yes!
The next moment, a blob of yellow light appeared in front of Fangzheng. Fangzheng grabbed it. The yellow light dissipated and out fell a white…
System, are you sure this is a mask, not a facial mask?
Fangzheng pinched a corner and raised it high. He looked at it against the sun, but it was transparent… The sunlight directly landed on Fangzheng’s face.
White, transparent, paper the size of a human face…
It was no wonder Fangzheng thought that it was a facial mask.
The System said,
This is the All Beings Mask. It’s a thin piece of paper that can reproduce the looks of all beings in the world. Of course, if you think it doesn’t look good, it can transform into another mask.
Fangzheng was immediately intrigued when he heard that. He placed the piece of paper on his face and felt a chill. Following that, he lost the feeling.
Fangzheng hurriedly ran back to his meditation room and found a mirror. He looked at it and exclaimed,
Where’s the All Being Mask? It’s lost? System Bro, isn’t this too much? I’m lodging a complaint! I’m protesting! This thing appears to be something cheap. What’s the use when it disappears after being worn?
The System said,
Are you a pig? Can’t you feel the mask on your face?
I can’t feel it.
The System said,
Remove it with your hand.
Fangzheng grabbed at his face and tore off a piece of white paper.
Fangzheng said in surprise,
It becomes invisible when worn?
The System said,
No, it has become your face. It’s just that you can’t tell.
Fangzheng exclaimed,
It has become my face? Doesn’t that make me two-face?
After a moment of silence, the System said,
In theory, that’s true.
Fangzheng was left speechless.
Fangzheng wore the mask again and thought of Red Boy. The next moment, he felt his body twist. When he looked at the mirror…
Uh, where’s the mirror?
Fangzheng looked around. The mirror was gone. He took a closer look and realized that the mirror had turned into a stove bed!
No, I’m shorter!
Fangzheng hurriedly climbed onto the stove bed. Indeed, the mirror was placed on the stove bed.
Fangzheng took the mirror and looked at it. He exclaimed,
It’s exactly the same! My height has changed! Heavens, my voice has changed too!
The All Beings Mask is excellent without any flaws. The only flaw is that you are ultimately not him. You don’t know his character and heart,
said the System.
Fangzheng said,
That’s right. However, what’s the use of this thing? If I want to disguise myself. I just need to lead someone into a dream.
The System said,
Can you pull someone into a dream for extended periods? Once there are more people involved, how long can you last? Have you forgotten the exhausting feeling?
Fangzheng felt that it was indeed the case.
Now, Fangzheng was quite a famous person. If he didn’t use A Golden Millet Dream while out, it would be easy for people to recognize him. Then, he would be surrounded and looked at like a panda. He wouldn’t be able to do a thing.
However, with the All Beings Mask, it would be much more convenient.
However, Fangzheng had a nagging feeling that he had made a loss! At the very least, it didn’t seem worth nearly a million merit points!
Fangzheng carefully read the introduction of the All Beings Mask and immediately smiled when he saw it.
All Beings Mask is formless and can transform into myriad forms after putting them on. At the same time, it can drastically increase one’s charm. It also has a special characteristic. By taking on two faces, the merit doubles.
Fangzheng did not think much of it in the beginning. He didn’t see the point of raising formless charm. However, having two faces to double his merit left Fangzheng ecstatic!
Haha… I love you to death, System Bro!
Fangzheng roared with laughter.
I don’t like men.
It’s fine. It can be one-sided.
System:
…
Fangzheng was happy and did not think too much about it. He pushed open the door and went out.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Salted Fish.
Fangzheng subconsciously asked,
Jingzhi, what are you doing?
Salted Fish didn’t reply. Instead, he rubbed his eyes and looked to the side before looking at Fangzheng. He opened his mouth wide and shouted,
Jingxin, didn’t you head out just now? When did you enter Master’s room?
Fangzheng was taken aback before he recalled that he had turned into Red Boy. It was no wonder that Salted Fish looked a little big!
Fangzheng had an idea and said,
I walked in just like that.
Fangzheng’s words were ambiguous. He did not say that it was Red Boy who had entered. He naturally wasn’t lying when he said that he had entered.
Salted Fish asked,
Where’s Master?
Take a look yourself.
Salted Fish went into the house to take a look, rubbed his eyes, and mumbled.
That’s odd. I’m certain I saw Master enter, but I didn’t see him come out! Are my eyes deteriorating recently…
In the future, just blink more.
Salted Fish rolled his eyes.
Tell me how to blink when I don’t have eyelids?
Fangzheng was left speechless.
Fangzheng immediately said with a smile,
Alright, play by yourself. I’ll go take a walk.
With that said, Fangzheng left. Now that he was Red Boy, did that mean he could…
The more Fangzheng thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh. He went into the kitchen and saw Monkey muttering inside.
Fangzheng ignored him and took out a tiny cloth bag from behind the Buddha Vat. It was filled with pine nuts.
Monkey looked and exclaimed,
Junior Brother, how did you know that Jingkuan hid the pine nuts there?
Fangzheng said,
I saw it. That little guy is smart. He knows that hiding it in his nest only means it will be stolen, so he hid it right under your nose. This is what it means that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Monkey shook his head and said,
Tsk, tsk. This little guy doesn’t usually study gastronomy, but studies tactical strategies…
Monkey came to Fangzheng’s side and chuckled.
Junior Brother, can I share in it? Don’t tell me you plan on eating alone?
If it were Red Boy, he would definitely give in and eat together.
But was Fangzheng Red Boy?
Therefore, Fangzheng decisively shook his head.
No way! If you want to eat, go look for it yourself.
When Monkey heard that, how could this fellow be so arrogant as a thief? Therefore Monkey said,
Fine, I’ll report you right away!
With that said, Monkey left.
Fangzheng chuckled and crushed one of the pine nuts. It was especially fragrant.
After Monkey left, Fangzheng touched Monkey’s bed and took out a few top-grade bamboo shoots.
