Chapter 8: Besides Drawing Doujinshi, You Could Also Draw Talismans

Psychic Drawing? You can draw things from your imagination onto paper? Well... for certain people, it might be valuable. But for ordinary folks, it's completely useless, isn't it? She really had no idea how to develop such a power. Fujiwara Chika: [Too bad, it doesn't seem to have any combat capabilities.] takumi was also watching the chat. He chuckled at what Fujiwara Chika said. No combat capabilities? That's not true. It all depends on how you use it. There's no such thing as a useless ability, right? takumi: [No!] [If there are abilities that can be activated on paper in the future, this psychic drawing power could be really strong.] [Like in that world of legendary eyes — if someone had this power, wouldn't they basically be a tag-printing machine?] Fujiwara Chika: [The 600 billion yen rich lady!!] [Got it!!] She suddenly understood. Yes, if that's the case, this power could be very useful. As long as there's enough paper, couldn't you create infinite prints? takumi: [You could even become the counterfeit king!] [Printing money would be too easy.] As he typed that, the corners of takumi mouth curled into a smile. Useless? Not at all — this ability had loads of potential. Drawing whatever one sees. In modern society, printing money is rather straightforward, right? Fujiwara Chika and Sagiri were both speechless at takumi interpretation. Akeno: [If necessary, I can provide some support.] [We have certain spells that can only be activated on paper.] [Like the flyers we hand out right now.] With that, Akeno sent a red envelope in the chat — a sample of her work flyer. It was a devil's flyer, one that could grant wishes. If Sagiri learned a few more techniques, this ability could become really handy. Fujiwara Chika: [Counterfeiting?] [Hey! You want to send Sagiri to jail?!] [ΩДΩ] She was horrified by takumi ideas. Were those words even legal to say? He's clearly encouraging criminal behavior!! Sagiri: [Picture] [Like this?] She had actually drawn a counterfeit bill — and a U.S. dollar at that. Fujiwara Chika was stunned seeing the image. takumi: [Want me to get you some acid-free paper?] [I could conjure tons with just a thought.] [Let's tweak the details a bit and make a whole batch?] He laughed. This was the true use of psychic drawing. Fujiwara Chika: [....] [You jerk, stop corrupting Sagiri!!] You're clearly seducing her into crime! Akeno: [Emm... powerful in various ways.] [I'll look for magic or Taoist arts that normal people can use.] [For example, many Taoist talismans have to be drawn on paper.] [Combining that with Sagiri's ability could be amazing.] Zhongli: [If needed, I have some.] [Whether you can learn them is another issue.] [Ideally, you should come to me so I can instruct you.] Zhongli had been following the chat as well. Seeing what takumi said, he nodded. Indeed, some talismans could definitely be used with such a power. This ability would be excellent for certain mystical systems. Seeing everyone's input, Sagiri nodded thoughtfully. So her power was actually pretty useful after all. Feeling touched, she quickly thanked everyone in the group. Sagiri: [Thank you, everyone.] [But for now, I'll hold off. My ability is still weak.] [I'll revisit this when I become stronger.] [In the meantime, if everyone could upload those techniques to the shop, I'll buy them with points later.] She was deeply moved, but this wasn't urgent. She'd buy the knowledge herself — nothing should be taken for free. Seeing this, Zhongli nodded. After some thought, he uploaded some of his immortal techniques to the system store. They included various talisman methods. The points required were minimal — just enough that Sagiri could afford them. takumi quickly used his own points to buy them all. Knowledge items can be sold repeatedly, after all. Zhongli could probably earn quite a few points with this. Once purchased, the knowledge of those talismans instantly appeared in takumi mind. He learned how to use energy to inscribe them on paper — it came naturally to him. "So that's how it works." "Knowledge items function like this?" "As long as you buy them, you'll know how to use them." "Since they're from Zhongli, it means he already mastered them." "If someone just got new knowledge and sold it to the group, it probably wouldn't come with understanding." "But Zhongli's uploads include his insights." "That's why they're so easy to learn." "Of course, you still need power. Without it, even if you know the theory, you won't be able to use it." As he sorted through the knowledge in his head, takumi understood the system. Knowledge items came in two types: One with full mastery and personal insights; The other was newly acquired and listed as-is. If you can buy, always go for the fully mastered kind. As long as you have the necessary energy, you can use them immediately. "Once it's uploaded to the store, all you need is enough energy and you're set." takumi It actually looked pretty solid. He used Honkai energy to build it — which made it even more powerful? "Of course, Honkai energy really is omnipotent." He played with it for a bit, then put it away. His Honkai energy could be used to activate abilities from other worlds through the group chat. Could it also replace mana to cast magic? He'd have to test that later. If it worked, then building entire systems based on Honkai energy would be significant. After all, isn't that part of civilization's advancement? You can't just let every system get jumbled and chaotic. With that in mind,takumi checked his points again. Then he pinged Akeno in the chat. takumi : [Miss Akeno, could you upload some of your magic to the shop?] [I want to run an experiment.] Seeing takumi's sudden request, Akeno was briefly surprised. But she didn't overthink it. After a moment, she uploaded several of her mastered spells. Akeno: [I don't know many spells.] [Most of them are lightning-based.] [See if they work for your purpose.] As she finished, several lightning-type spells appeared in the system store. All related to thunder and lightning — drawn from her innate bloodline talent.
