The power of a talisman can change depending on the user's power. For example, in the original story, when Uncle Jackie and Jade used the same talisman, it was not as powerful as when Shendu himself used it.
This is because the Holy Lord himself, as a demon, possesses powerful basic attributes, which, combined with the amplification from the talismans, allow him to reach a level far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.
If she could increase her base attributes, she could unleash the power of the talisman to a greater extent.
Of course, this world has more than just the power of destiny to enhance oneself. For example, there are many other ways to enhance oneself, such as the cultivation methods of the Cloud Cavalry, which can also grant considerable power.
But in terms of convenience, it's definitely not as simple, direct, and effective as experience books that directly increase levels.
[Ding! Event completed - Initial Exploration, obtained 10 Roaming Guides]
Upon seeing this notification, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up, and she immediately clicked "Use" in the system panel.
Instantly, Bai Zhi felt a strange power flowing through her body, as if her strength had greatly increased.
She now even has the illusion that she can kill a cow with one punch.
To verify her hypothesis, Bai Zhi opened her attribute panel.

"Huh, can I only level up to level 20? Do I need some breakthrough materials?"
Seeing that she still had upgrade books left and her own level of 20, Bai Zhi curiously clicked on an exclamation mark next to her level. Immediately, a notification popped up.
[You have reached the level cap. You will need to acquire more talismans to break through.]
13. Pleasure wants to see fun.
"Little Angelica, we're still chatting. So, do you like our train?"
An elegant and beautiful woman stepped into the train carriage and then asked Bai Zhi with a smile.
"Ah, Himeko-sensei, I really like the train, everyone is so friendly, and there's also the lovely Pam."
The visitors were Ji Zi and Lao Yang.
Bai Zhi answered sincerely that although the train's decor was not as exquisite as her own eco-ship, it exuded a comfortable atmosphere and was also full of human touch.
"I'm glad you're happy. I've finished talking to Black Tower about some things, and it's time for us to set off. Little Angelica, are you going to your ecoship, or are you staying in the car?"
"Of course it will stay on the train. I've already set up the AI on the ecoship so it will automatically follow the train."
Bai Zhi answered without hesitation, "No matter how gorgeous the ecological ship is, it's just so-so. This place has two great beauties, Himeko and San Yueqi. Just in terms of being pleasing to the eye, it's much better."
"Besides, Teacher Himeko and Sister March Seven are so beautiful, I really don't want to leave~"
Hearing Bai Zhi's praise, Ji Zi's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and she even reached out to pat Bai Zhi's head.
"You little rascal, you have such a sweet tongue. Teacher Himeko will make you a cup of my special coffee later."
"what?"
Bai Zhi called out subconsciously.
She remembered that in the game, it was mentioned specifically that Himeko's coffee was extremely unpalatable.
"No... there's no need to trouble Himeko-sensei, I'll just make myself a cup of instant coffee."
Bai Zhi's smile became strained.
"How can that be? It's your first time on the train, so I have to show you my skills. And Xing, it's your first time here too, so you have to try my cooking."
"Gulu..."
Bai Zhi swallowed hard and said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Ji Zi."
Xing smiled and nodded, seemingly puzzled.
It's just a cup of coffee. At most, it'll be a little bitter. It should be okay, right?
Bai Zhi thought to herself hesitantly, while March 7th, Dan Heng, and Lao Yang looked at her and Xing with pity, as if they were looking at friends who were about to die.
The sound of grinding beans filled the air, and soon Himeko gracefully walked over with a double cup of coffee.
"Come on, have a drink, it's my special."
“…”
Looking at the pitch-black coffee, Bai Zhi swallowed hard, and amidst Ji Zi's beaming smile, picked up the cup.
After picking it up, Bai Zhi subconsciously smelled it and found that there was no strange smell. On the contrary, it had a unique and very attractive aroma, even more attractive than instant coffee.
"Perhaps the text in the game exaggerated a bit. This aroma, no matter how awful it is, can't be too bad, right?"
Bai Zhi thought to herself, then picked up her coffee and took a sip.
In the first second, she felt nothing. In the second second, Bai Zhi felt as if a cosmic explosion had occurred in her mouth, with countless flavors bursting out. The coffee didn't have the smooth texture of regular coffee.
Instead, it made Bai Zhi feel like she had drunk a mouthful of scalding hot mud.
"Uh...."
Before she could feel anything more, Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and collapsed onto the sofa in the carriage.
Of course, Xing also lay down.
"Young people are great, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. My coffee seems to be really good, it has a great effect on sleep quality."
Himeko commented with a rather smug look.
"Didn't you ever think about why coffee, a stimulant, makes you faint after just one sip?!"
The remaining few people were cursing in their hearts, but no one said it out loud. After all, Himeko was the most dangerous person on the train besides Pam.
"However, it's good to let them sleep. Let's start the train now and head to the next planet."
.....
When Bai Zhi woke up, she found that the scenery outside the train had changed from the Black Tower Space Station to an endless sea of stars.
"Ouch... my head hurts so much."
Bai Zhi clutched her head; the needle-like pain made her feel as if she had drunk an excessive amount of liquor, not coffee.
It's such a simple thing, so why does it have such power?
Bai Zhi didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.
[Complete achievement - Himeko's Coffee, obtain 2 Wandering Guides]
Upon seeing this notification, Bai Zhi's lips twitched. Was this a blessing in disguise? At least she still got the experience book, right?
Comforting herself in this way, Bai Zhi looked outside. The starry sky was beautiful, but she had never seen it before, even though she was born on the Immortal Ship, because the starry sky on the Immortal Ship was all an illusory paradise.
The next stop should be Planet Yalilo 6, where we should be able to meet Rand Duck.
However, just following the plot like this is really boring.
Perhaps sensing Bai Zhi's boredom, the system immediately chimed in.
[Ding! Event triggered, a delightful surprise!]
[Joy wants to see something interesting happen. Do you want to accept this invitation? If you accept, the system will trigger a random event.]
"Joy?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised. The Star God of Joy was known as the Celestial Lord of Everlasting Joy in the Immortal Ship. Although the overall evaluation was not negative, it was not considered top-tier. The top-tier stars were the Hunting Star Gods and the Protector Star Gods, who held the title of Fate Master. The second tier consisted of various Celestial Lords, such as the Learned Venerable and the Star God of Joy.
The star god of joy loves nothing more than stirring up trouble everywhere, both good and bad.
If something good happens, it's like a pie falling from the sky; but if something bad happens, that's a real tragedy.
If I answer it myself...
After thinking about it, Bai Zhi clicked "accept".
After all, she now has the dog talisman to ensure her immortality, so her life is at least guaranteed.
The moment Bai Zhi clicked "accept," she felt as if the masked beings in the endless, distant starry sky were watching her with great interest.
[Ding! You have obtained a temporary artifact—The Fool's Mask (True)]
【The Fool's Mask (True) - Copies talismans and randomly transforms the copied talismans into other higher-level talismans】
[The Fool's Mask is activated. Your Dog Talisman has been copied and randomly transformed into a Dragon Talisman LV2.]
Your task is to organize any event in the upcoming world. The more exciting and fun the event, the more Dragon Charm unlock points you will earn.
"Ha, the world that's about to descend upon me? Am I going to be teleported again?"
Upon seeing the last sentence, Bai Zhi subconsciously looked around, wondering if a black hole would suddenly appear and pull her in.
But after being on guard for a while, Bai Zhi discovered that there didn't seem to be a black hole that could transport her away.
Scratching her head, Bai Zhi was a little puzzled by the situation. Could it be that there was something wrong with the system?
Just as she was wondering about this, March 7th suddenly pointed outside and shouted:
"Everyone, come and see what's outside!!"
"Hmm?" Bai Zhi also looked in the direction that San Yueqi was pointing.
What they saw next startled them: a gigantic planet had appeared near the train.
It's not just that it's a planet; the key point is that on this ice-covered planet, countless enormous thrusters are erupting, slowly propelling the planet forward.
14 Old Yang's Shock
"So this is how they come to be in the world? Really..."
Upon seeing that familiar planet, Bai Zhi was truly astonished; the system had actually brought the entire planet to this world.
but....
Looking at the tiny space station ahead of The Wandering Earth, Bai Zhi felt that perhaps being brought to this world was a better choice for this planet.
After all, in terms of the technology of The Wandering Earth, although this world is not considered a particularly powerful place, it is definitely much stronger than ordinary native planets, especially in terms of fusion technology and advanced AI technology.
With these technologies, even if we connect with the Interstellar Peace Corporation in the future, we won't become an economic colony.
"What an amazing phenomenon! A planet suddenly appeared, something I've never observed before. And using a thruster to propel the planet forward is, strictly speaking, impossible, at least from the perspective of the technology on this planet."
Himeko walked to the window, staring with interest at the planet slowly moving below, and said.
"Himeko-sensei, perhaps... I can explain this situation."
Bai Zhi weakly raised her hand.
"Oh?" Himeko turned her gaze to Bai Zhi.
"Just now... it seems that the God of Joy noticed me and gave me a small task."
Bai Zhi said this because she was going to go to The Wandering Earth to carry out activities and satisfy her desire for pleasure, but it was really strange to suddenly do this out of the blue.
Besides, she knew that some people on the Star Train would definitely go down to explore later, so she needed to find an excuse.
As for pleasure, the well-known amusement-seekers, nothing will surprise them no matter what happens.
Indeed, that was the case. Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ji Zi nodded knowingly. "If it's Aha, it's not surprising that he would do something so miraculous. But little Bai Zhi, what does Aha want you to do?"
"Well... it means that the more exciting and interesting the event is, the more benefits I will receive in the end."
