Do you remember how many lonely, desolate nights we spent together, leaning on each other, taking from each other, and then parting ways...
It’s you!
The night street watcher, the city trash containment specialist, the silent friend of the overworked Corporate Slave—
The Gray Coffee Municipal Guardian Type II Vending Machine.
Tall and Generous, naturally extraordinary, with a matte gray-rock future-style frosted exterior coating, an all-steel integrated thickened galvanized body, automatic defogging double-layer tempered glass, 7-layer shelves with 12 precision steel spring spirals for product dispensing, overall foam insulation cooling, a 9.7-inch smart touchscreen for selection and payment, and also equipped with slots for Paper Money and coins.
The bottom of the Vending Machine is equipped with four categorized Trash Cans, and the right side integrates an automatic Coffee machine module, capable of providing hot Coffee in four flavors: Latte, Mocha, Americano, and Cappuccino.
Liang De reached out and placed his hand on the smooth, brand-new coin slot; there was no need for a blood recognition ritual, he and this empty Vending Machine shared a natural blood connection and mutual understanding.
Flowing radiance circulated between Liang De and the Vending Machine, and moments later, he received information about his first Innate Divine Ability from this gray-rock body.
The exterior of the Vending Machine is merely a convenient operational carrier; inside, it comes equipped with an easy-to-understand management system.
In the final stage of Entering the Realm Origin, because Liang De had completely fallen into a Coma, his Consciousness was unclear, and he was Not Master of One's Own Fate; even the Self-Nature Realm Origin connected to his Fate did not know what type of Divine Ability he intended to awaken.
Under these circumstances, the Realm Origin extracted the ability to form constituent elements from his True Nature and bestowed them upon Liang De, combining this with knowledge related to the Technology civilization of his Blue Star Hometown from his Memory, thus shaping the easily operable Vending Machine form and internal management system.
True Nature is "I," and "I" is the sum total of everything in the past.
The supplier of goods for this Vending Machine is the entirety of Liang De's past Life.
Input Extraordinary Power, search through everything in the past Life from near to far, then randomly select characteristics from the legitimate search results, materialize and sublimate them into extraordinary objects, and place them in the carrier shaped like a Vending Machine for selection.
This is Liang De's Innate Divine Ability, named:
【Returning Light Photography】.
The highest realm of photography requires betting one's entire Life; those who only play with equipment will never understand!
As Liang De grasped and understood his Innate Divine Ability, two lines of iron-script, chillingly murderous, deeply carved inscriptions silently appeared on either side of the coin slot.
“The profound is hard to save from misfortune; even praying to all Deities is useless.”
“Spending money cannot change Fate; even after spending all wealth, it ends in emptiness.”
Fortunately, the Vending Machine had just been generated, and the Realm Origin gifted the newly born Walker a portion of Extraordinary Power, with some remaining inside, meaning the first draw didn't require him to pay.
Repeatedly defeated, repeatedly fought, never giving up—the persistence of gacha draws over many years could finally be put to use today... Experience from the previous life must be applicable here!
“Act on behalf of Heaven by guaranteeing the minimum pull, the Leopard Head who shakes the Liang Mountains with his spear, a sow in ten thousand tribulations cannot enter the Saintly realm, a single freebie pull will succeed, come forth, treasure!”
After silently praying, Liang De punched the coin slot fiercely, pouring all his Consciousness into the Vending Machine.
On this day, Liang De once again entered the realm of Lin Chong, the eighty-thousand-man Imperial Palace spear and staff Instructor Teacher.
For humans, the comprehensible form of the past Life is Memory.
Integrating with the Vending Machine, upon entering the Supply Management Space, countless Memory Scenes in Liang De's Consciousness changed from dead silent black and white to vivid color, and the Life's Carousel began to spin.
The very first Memory Scene was the terrible memory of being tricked by two old men and vaguely crossing the sea in a daze.
Those two old men were both Scarlet Tribulation Walkers before; if I extract characteristics from them to materialize, perhaps they will be very powerful...
Liang De concentrated his spirit, attempting to pick something out of the Memory Scenes of Yuan Tianren and Chang Duanxuan.
Starting with the Chief Instructor Yuan Tianren... how to select an invisible old man? Forget it, scroll back a bit, try the buzzing golden sun sphere that emerged from Chang Duanxuan's forehead—it was Sparkling, and it also had sound and scent, a three-in-one lamp-sphere incense burner function, dynamic and cool, clearly a good thing.
In the Supply Management Space, Liang De’s two index fingers were like two soaring monkeys, pointing at the shining lamp-sphere!
“Illegal target! Illegal target! Illegal target!”
If this one doesn't work, switch to another... A Scarlet Tribulation master—even a pair of underwear or a single piece of tissue paper could be useful.
“Illegal target! Illegal target! Illegal target!...”
Liang De stubbornly pointed from Chang Duanxuan’s head to his feet in the Memory Scene, yet there wasn't a single legitimate target.
Wait a moment.
The invisible Old Yuan had said that Chang Duanxuan was once known as the Water Mirror Demon Master, specializing in bewitching people's hearts; thinking laterally, this means he was proficient in some illusory things, a spellcaster, and my Innate Divine Ability is also of the illusory type, so perhaps his resistance in this area is stronger.
Skip the plot, skip the plot, scroll back, quickly return to the Memory Scene where I first met the Land Department's Instructor Teachers at the Martial Arts Hall.
Zhao Tianji, searched all over his body, failed.
Dong Tianbao, searched all over his body, failed.
The visible Old Yuan, searched all over his body, failed.
I’m shocked, what’s wrong with you guys? Zhao Tianji can release Innate Gang Qi Body Shattering to injure enemies, barely qualifying as a mid-to-long-range magic warrior. Dong Tianbao should clearly be a close-combat muscle Physics type, so why does he also have this kind of resistance? Are Comedic Martial Artists all Hexagonal warriors?
Could it be because the gap in strength between me and them is too large, so I cannot select them?
Damn it, I’ve groped so many men for nothing! Although I didn't spend money, my invisible investment has been too great!
Then I won't bother testing Mo Feisheng, who is also at the Scarlet Tribulation realm. Let's try someone of similar strength. Since I've groped so many men, one more won't hurt—it’s decided, Lin Baolong!
“Illegal target!”
That’s not right. He was an Imperial Palace guard for twenty-five and a half years before transmigration, most likely a real-world Martial Artist, and only had one semester and four months at the Sword Immortal Ruins, progressing step-by-step to White Tribulation Lower Rank.
Although my foundation is poor and I lack roots, being a product of cramming education, my rank as a Realm Walker is the same.
Could it be mutual repulsion between the same sex!
That makes sense, so does that mean I have to...
Oh my god, this Innate Divine Ability comes with neither an instruction manual nor a customer service contact number; I have to figure everything out myself. I, Liang De, a proper Straight Man and a respectable adult, am forced to...
Scroll quickly, scroll quickly, scroll quickly! Before the encounter with Lin Baolong on the sports field, the remaining Extraordinary Power supporting the search is about to be consumed!
I have no choice. To test the characteristics of this Divine Ability, I must be ruthless and unscrupulous towards my enemies. This is all for academic research, without a shred of selfish Distracting thoughts.
Finally found it! Bai Hekong, the high school girl from the Sea Department who threw a Rubber Bomb at me at the beginning of my transmigration!
Liang De was in Full Concentration, his mind empty and pure, his heart cleaner than a screen lusted over by a shut-in; his two fingers were Like Steel and Iron, like two...
“Illegal target! Illegal! Illegal! Illegal!”
Before even touching the Memory Scene, a strong warning echoed in Liang De's Consciousness: Illegal, illegal, non!
What?! Wait a moment, I haven't succeeded yet, no, succeeded is also wrong... Oh my god, I regret not reading more books; where can I find the appropriate word?
I haven't done *that* yet! Can this Divine Ability even perform self-thought surveillance?!
Of course, I wasn't thinking about This and That either; it doesn't exist, just like Teacher Chang's martial arts—I absolutely deny its existence.
What does this "Illegal" mean? I shouldn't have selected Bai Hekong. Which kind of "Illegal" is it? I'm confused and no longer understand the precise meaning of "Illegal"!
Although it's a bit regrettable, let's turn past this page.
Damn, I thought for too long just now, and the energy is insufficient...
Insufficient energy—that's what Ultraman Seven encounters every time he fights a monster, but...
So what if the energy is insufficient? Is Ultraman Seven such an inconvenient thing to be!
Well said! But I'm not Ultraman Seven!
Last shot!
Liang De used the last bit of remaining Extraordinary Power to scroll the Memory Scene forward, randomly tapping it in self-abandonment.
“Target selection successful, beginning random characteristic extraction!”
