Chapter 20: The Appearance of a Disguised Ancient God
Although many people call Bai Cangshu a "madman," in essence, he is actually a very calm person.
He is often judged by others as an Outlier because he is overly calm.
For example, when appearing in a new environment like Infinite Space, he will directly and preferentially judge all other Reincarnators who appear in his field of vision as the type that harbors ill intentions toward him.
The reason is that if he himself appeared in such a place possessing terrifying resources, he would be full of malice toward newcomers.
After all, from the information understood so far, this space is undoubtedly the type of special space that can allow ordinary people to become Superman.
The value of such a place far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.
Take the Killing Intent Perception possessed by the robe on Bai Cangshu's body; in the real world, how many tycoons and politicians would stop at nothing for such a thing...
Therefore, the attempt at striking up a conversation that Clown Evans thought was well-disguised appeared full of flaws in Bai Cangshu's eyes.
But he was not in a hurry to expose it, just waiting for Evans to reveal more Intelligence.
Bai Cangshu's thinking pattern has always been like this.
Just like the plan to kill Tao Baibai.
From the very beginning, having witnessed that Tao Baibai was indeed cruel and unreasonable, he subconsciously thought about how to get rid of Tao Baibai.
When asking Feibo about the Universal Capsule in the taxi, he had actually already subconsciously considered using the Tese of the Universal Capsule, which can shrink and restore things the size of a car, to kill.
In childhood, when others watched the Dragon Ball anime, they would only marvel at the magic of the Universal Capsule and fantasize about owning one themselves.
But what Bai Cangshu thought of was that if one could make a person swallow a Universal Capsule, it would be a lethal weapon for killing! Perhaps all his plans were triggered by this seed from his childhood.
As for Bai Cangshu's plan to kill Tao Baibai, he actually made three layers of preparation.
The first layer was naturally the most overt poisoning plan.
He had Tang Baduan poison all the food, tea, and utensils, including everyone including Tang Baduan himself in the scope of the poisoning, and gave Tang Baduan that so-called "antidote."
This was what made the greedy Tang Baduan feel at ease to execute the plan.
The second layer of the plan was the core; it was the real plan for Bai Cangshu to kill Tao Baibai.
He crushed all of the Green Snake's antidote, reshaped it into a ball, and wrapped a Universal Capsule inside it.
Afterward, he deliberately chose the time point when the Reincarnators were about to enter the world to let Tang Baduan start the poisoning plan.
He foresaw that Tang Baduan would be unable to conceal his panic due to emotions like being poisoned and fear, and would eventually be seen through by Tao Baibai.
Furthermore, Tang Baduan is not someone who can withstand pressure; eventually, he would only spill his first layer of the plan, thereby letting the "antidote" fall into Tao Baibai's hands.
If the Reincarnator was indeed strong enough, then Tao Baibai would not resist the negative effects of the Green Snake poison, would choose to take the antidote, and would eventually be killed by Bai Cangshu.
The third layer of the plan was a remedial scheme in case Tao Baibai did not take the antidote; he had taken out the two boxes of money he gave to Tao Baibai at the mountain top hotel in advance and had Feibo contact multiple forces, including the Hongduandaiguntuan.
In fact, if the battle between Tao Baibai and the Flame Demon and Magic Mountain had dragged on for a bit longer, and the Moon Demon could only enter the battle, then eventually, local forces like the Hongduandaiguntuan would have intervened.
That was the opportunity for Bai Cangshu to take the injured Tao Baibai and escape.
Bai Cangshu is not crazy at all; he is terrifyingly rational.
"Guest, may I ask if you have made your choice?"
A hoarse voice interrupted Bai Cangshu's train of thought.
He was currently standing inside the Alchemy Workshop, and an old man with a white beard, wearing a purple Magic robe and a pointed hat, was smiling and asking Bai Cangshu.
Since he knew of the existence of these institutions, he naturally had to come and "disguise" himself.
"All right, this should be fine, right?"
The so-called appearance disguise is actually similar to a face-sculpting system; the old man gave a crystal ball, and you can fantasize and modify your appearance at will toward the crystal ball. Finally, the old man will fix that look, becoming your "Disguise Mask."
"Of course, guest, no matter what kind of exquisite appearance it is, my Alchemy will definitely be able to... uh..."
The old man looked at the crystal ball Bai Cangshu sent over and froze on the spot.
"Guest... are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
A high, bulging forehead, a deeply sunken chin, and a nose as long as to almost rival Usopp's; two eyes that were unusually narrow; and most crucially, the skin of this appearance presented a bright red color.
This appearance had completely departed from the Concept of "ugly"; rather, the alchemist who took one look at this appearance felt that his Spirit had already been damaged.
Bai Cangshu shook his head, not satisfied with this "face-sculpting" either.
"Master, this crystal ball of yours might not be very perfect yet; it wasn't able to present the perfect look in my mind."
The old man tapped his forehead lightly, wanting to remove the mental pollution, and subconsciously retorted, "What on earth are you trying to create, an Ancient God?!"
【Alchemist Youpi quotes you 1000 Dimension Points, do you accept?】
The old man endured his nausea and completed this alchemy work; the fee was also slightly higher than the usual 800 points.
Bai Cangshu still gladly accepted this quote.
【You have obtained the item: Disguise Mask】
【Disguise Mask】
【Quality: Blue (Rare)】
【Description: A special mask created by an alchemist based on your molding; the master refused to sign it due to the distortion of the work】
【Durability: 30/30】
【Effect 1: After wearing it, your appearance will be modified to a specific look】
【Effect 2: This alchemy disguise cannot be seen through by any eye techniques or detection abilities】
Master Youpi felt the Dimension Points arrive in his account and finally felt a little better.
To tell the truth, those who come to him are basically either wanting to make their masks very exquisite, handsome and beautiful in a way that doesn't look human; or they are making a completely generic face that makes it impossible for people to remember.
This was the first time he had received this kind of mental damage.
"Guest, for a special Reincarnator like you, besides covering your appearance, I'm afraid you even need to cover your serial number."
The master pushed over another item.
【Item: Reincarnator's Right Hand】
It was completely a hollowed-out palm, with a special black curse pattern on the back of the hand.
"This thing, 1 E-rank Singularity, plus 800 Dimension Points."
Bai Cangshu knew that Master Youpi was a spatial character similar to an NPC, so it was no surprise that the other party could perceive the fact that he possessed a Singularity.
"I do not have an E-rank Singularity, Master."
Youpi pointed at Bai Cangshu from a distance, and a new prompt appeared before Bai Cangshu's eyes.
【Singularities can be split and combined at will; a High-level Singularity can be split into 3 lower-level Singularities.】
【Do you wish to split the C-Rank Singularity into 3 D-rank Singularities?】
