Chapter 1 Reassessing the Skill

Li Ang re-examined the skill description for [Resurrection of Inanimate Objects (Beginner)], analyzing each word and sentence of the specific description, and increasingly felt that it possessed great potential.

First of all, the special effect of this skill is "Resurrection," which means that by touching a non-living object, it is given self-awareness, low-level intelligence, and a certain degree of free movement. It lasts for a maximum of ten minutes.

Secondly, the object given life does not have special feelings for the skill user.

Whether consulting it for questions or giving it simple instructions, the user needs to negotiate with the item on their own.

At the same time, the volume of the object given life cannot be too large or too small. The degree of damage to the object will affect the integrity of its self-awareness and low-level intelligence.

Currently, the skill has limitations on the size of objects. Without restrictions, Li Ang could completely trigger the skill on combat aircraft,榴弹炮, and aircraft carrier warships.

As for the consumption of the skill, each use costs 200 points of psionic energy and 100 points of sanity. After activation, it consumes 20 points of psionic energy and 10 points of sanity per second.

The cooldown time is four uses every twenty-four hours.

The remark is that after using the skill 100 times, you can pay 2000 game coins to upgrade it.

Since the skill can only be used four times a day, Li Ang carefully selected four items to test it on.

These four items are:

An old Ultraman 175 toy with movable joints, with batteries installed,

A gutted crucian carp placed in a bucket of water, dead for 5 minutes,

His commonly used Scar-H rifle,

A pot of purified water placed in a plastic basin, the water source from a household tap.

Li Ang first activated the skill on the Ultraman toy lying flat on the ground, then immediately went into the closet so the toy couldn't see him.

After the Ultraman toy triggered the Resurrection of Inanimate Objects skill, its eyes spontaneously lit up with red light without the power being turned on.

The entire toy, as if struck by lightning, suddenly twisted its movable limb joints, stood up, and looked around.

"The movement is smoother than expected. The limb joints, which should only be able to rotate stiffly, are more flexible, not much different from humans."

Li Ang observed for a few seconds and, finding that Ultraman was not doing anything else, walked out of the closet.

The moment it saw him, the Ultraman toy immediately felt fear and panic, and ran haphazardly towards the narrow gap under the table, moving its movable legs.

This is understandable. Imagine waking up one day and suddenly a ten-meter-tall, strangely shaped creature running towards you. You would also choose to run away.

"Looks like it doesn't have any impression of my existence."

Li Ang had this Ultraman toy when he was very young. It came from a donation to the orphanage and accompanied Li Ang for many years—

Until now, the Ultraman toy is still placed on the bookshelf in the side bedroom, usually placed together with the Alchemist's Cache.

Li Ang silently watched the Ultraman toy hide under the table, not standing up to fight or use light waves.

"Okay, it seems that the shape of the item should just be the shape, and will not affect the item after resurrection.

That is to say, whether I use the skill on an Ultraman or a Transformers toy, it is impossible to directly create a scaled-down Ultraman that can use light waves,

Or a Transformer that can launch miniature nuclear bombs.

After all, if that were the case, this skill would be too powerful. I'm afraid that an Ultraman, a light giant reduced by thousands of times, could easily hang and hammer a large group of lv15 and lv20 players."

Li Ang shook his head with some regret. The current Resurrection of Inanimate Objects is only at the beginner level and cannot be expected to do more.

He bent down, took the Ultraman toy from under the table, and removed the battery from its back that was already fully charged.

"Unable to speak, communicate, only uses the buzzer to make a 'shasha' sound. As for the tactile sensation on the surface, it is still the original rubber material, with no change. The weight is exactly the same as before."

He found that after removing the battery, the Ultraman toy did not stop moving, and the struggling force did not decrease, only equivalent to a rabbit of the same size.

"It seems that the toy's original energy supply system does not affect the toy's activity after touching the Resurrection of Inanimate Objects skill."

Li Ang looked at the struggling Ultraman toy and directly canceled the skill.

The Ultraman held in Li Ang's thumb also stopped moving instantly and quickly returned to its original stiff standing posture.

"The posture made by the toy at the moment the skill ends does not conform to the original toy structure. It can be assumed that stopping the skill will cause the main body of the skill to return to its original shape."

Li Ang rubbed his aching head and put the Ultraman back on the bookshelf in the side bedroom.

After resting for a while, waiting for his sanity to recover naturally (Li Ang often uses biological templates, and his sanity上限 and recovery speed have been greatly improved),

He immediately continued to experiment on the second item, a gutted crucian carp that had been dead for 5 minutes.

After triggering the skill, the dead crucian carp placed in the bucket filled with water immediately began to swim. The residual blood in its empty chest cavity merged into the water, making the water in the bucket turn red.

"Even after being gutted and having its fish bones removed, it can still move like a normal fish. That is to say, the original activity structure of the item does not affect the activity ability of the item after touching the Resurrection of Inanimate Objects skill."

Li Ang muttered, took the crucian carp out of the bucket, and chopped off its head.

He found that the crucian carp did not "die" or lose its ability to move. The fish head and fish body were still jumping around on the chopping board.

Li Ang's eyes lit up. "After triggering the skill, can the item no longer be killed?"

Thinking this, Li Ang cut off a small piece of fish meat and carefully took a bite.

He found that the taste of the fish was normal, and it still had a wriggling sensation in the mouth after being chewed.

"The rule that being chewed up won't make it lose its ability to move feels a bit terrifying."

Li Ang silently stopped maintaining the skill, and the crucian carp instantly stopped jumping, and the fish meat in his mouth stopped moving.

"If this rule holds true, in the future, it may be possible to raise an army of the dead that will never completely die. No matter how the enemy crushes them, as long as the skill maintenance is not stopped, they cannot be completely eliminated.

This is simply an alternative version of the Scourge."
