After crossing over, he’d also tried locking both his [Lucky Strike] and [Lifespan] simultaneously—but the result was the same. This led him to assume, naturally, that his golden finger could lock only one concept at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed the truth was this: “You can lock only one attribute per target, and the locked attributes across multiple targets cannot be the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That actually makes the golden finger far more usable—at least I don’t have to worry about being ambushed while switching locked attributes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Feng Xue prodded the little white snake. It finally seemed to recover from the shock of reverting to its original form; seeing Feng Xue teasing it with his finger, it opened its mouth and bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad Feng Xue had already prepared—he simply pulled back slightly, avoiding the weak bite as the snake was still clinging to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little white snake slid off his clothes, tilting its head and snarling: “What the hell are you? I’ve never heard of a mouth-seal being retracted after being applied!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue was slightly surprised, then remembered: the [Mouth-Sealed] trait only causes cultivation loss when the target is belittled with malice. Conversely, as long as there’s no malice, even if reverted to original form, the boosts—[Digestion of the Tongue Bone], [Speaking Human Language], [Quality Enhancement]—remain intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he couldn’t fathom how a snake’s anatomy could speak Mandarin, given this world had demons and spirits, he didn’t need to be so materialistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he understood this, the last trace of guilt he’d felt toward the little white snake vanished instantly. A cruel smile spread across his face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a jade pendant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white smoke cleared. The little white snake, now coiled into the shape of a jade pendant, hadn’t even opened its mouth when Feng Xue continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, inanimate objects work too? Then… you look like a cup!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whose cup is soft? And how do you even drink from such a narrow opening?” The little white snake, feeling its transformation, moaned in despair—but Feng Xue remained unmoved, merely nodding inwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems the mouth-seal’s result depends on the sealer’s thoughts, not some cosmic rule—otherwise it wouldn’t have become this kind of cup…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, a sudden idea struck Feng Xue. He spoke at once:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a revolver!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It actually works?” Feng Xue picked up the sleek white revolver—unfortunately, its cylinder held no bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, weapons work. But can it become ammunition? Then… you look like a laser gun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, no smoke appeared. Before him remained the white revolver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Laser gun won’t work? No energy? Hmm… you look like a motorcycle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, that’s cool!” Feng Xue stared at the motorcycle before him, seemingly forged from white dragon scales—his eyes lit up. Ignoring the snake’s protests, he inspected it thoroughly and found no fuel tank or battery, yet it could still start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting. Then… you look like a stun baton?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a taser!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a Taser!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a Kamen Rider transformation device!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, at least I’ve got self-defense weapons and escape tools now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue stared at the results, frowning slightly: “Motorcycle and taser both work—so it’s not about energy. Is it because I don’t understand the principle? Or because this world doesn’t have them? But this world shouldn’t have Tasers either… yet even the Kamen Rider device worked, even if it can’t turn me into a hero…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he spun a thought and uttered something he absolutely had no idea how to explain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a ghost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, are you done yet—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the little white snake could finish, another white mist rose. Watching the figure vanish entirely, Feng Xue froze—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it *can* transform! So this world has Tasers? Or do both conditions activate simultaneously—just one being enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue pondered, but he wouldn’t let the little white snake disappear. He moved to speak another seal—yet before he could utter a word, he noticed, in his over-the-shoulder view, the invisible little white snake was still visible. He blinked in surprise, then exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My over-the-shoulder view can see spiritual forms? That’s reassuring!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another puff of white smoke. The same form as before reappeared—this time, a girl matching his exact preferences, slumped on the ground in a duck-sitting pose. Feng Xue raised an eyebrow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even without adding descriptors, it still turns into this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted tone immediately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a blonde, twin-tailed, tsundere, beast-eared loli!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the white smoke, the little white snake indeed changed form—but Feng Xue clearly had no interest in her reaction. He immediately issued a simple, blunt description:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a snake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you insane?! I’ve cultivated for so long, not to be your plaything!” The little white snake burst from the smoke again, abandoning all thoughts of attaining enlightenment—her only desire now was to make this bastard suffer, horribly, excruciatingly, unbearably!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a ring!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing what he wanted, Feng Xue calmly uttered four words. The black-haired, long-haired beauty, her fingers already poised at his throat, instantly transformed into a white ring shaped like a snake swallowing its tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue bent down, picked up the ring, and slipped it onto his right index finger, nodding in satisfaction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the first transformation sets the default form—later changes can override it, but the base shape defaults to the first one… Huh? This ring’s slightly soft? Earlier, the cup and jade pendant… right, the pendant was specified as ‘jade,’ and the cup implied material hardness—but rings come in all materials, and I didn’t specify, so it just fixed the shape?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly do you want?” The little white snake, stiff with discomfort as Feng Xue rubbed her scales, asked warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue smiled at once:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want you to help me cultivate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream on!” The little white snake spat out two words through clenched teeth—her resentment nearly solidified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, if she didn’t get angry, she wouldn’t need cultivation—she’d just become an enlightened being and attain Buddhahood on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The description “one inch” was chosen to control variables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put: the protagonist didn’t know the range of the [Mouth-Seal] effect, and to ensure his own safety (since he believed he could lock only one thing at a time, so when locking this, he couldn’t lock his own lifespan—he thought), he had to minimize risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he’d just said, “You look like a snake,” he’d have to consider every possibility: a giant python, a white serpent like Bai Suzhen—even if just reverted to original form, a one-foot-long venomous snake could deliver a deadly bite, let alone a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a one-inch snake couldn’t even open its mouth wide enough to bite a finger—ensuring his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for more details, it was about time—he had to finish speaking as fast as possible, or if the opponent reacted and killed him, it’d be too tragic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other things, again: since he didn’t know the [Mouth-Seal]’s range, if it could only turn things into humans or back to original form, saying anything else would be useless—and he might not get a second chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these conditions, the protagonist chose a description that was “casual,” “small-sized,” “original form,” and “few words”—I consider this a relatively reasonable and excellent choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-20T04:32:49.208Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d00fa16660ff0229288d31a93b522a16a7c9da8e9d723ce09c29eae647f889b9","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-7","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-5",365,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-cover.jpg"]
