Florida Man in Magus World: Unleashing Liberty and Freedom

Felix's Flying Island

While Felix secluded himself in the essence stone room, Jiji found herself with little to do. She typically finished all the household chores in under an hour using her water magic, leaving her with an abundance of free time.

Feeling restless and looking for something to occupy her mind, Jiji ventured outside to clean the mess surrounding the house. The outside was still littered with petrified deer, frozen in their mutated forms, standing ominously around the barrier. The ground beneath them had been churned up, leaving behind ditches filled with stagnant, spoiled rainwater.

Disgusted by the sight, Jiji rolled up her sleeves, determined to restore some order. She moved the petrified beasts away from the front of the house, dragging the grotesque statues one by one. Then, she filled in the ditches, removed the rubble, and cleaned the spoiled water.

At night, she returned indoors, offering Felix company in bed and relieving their stress. As for food, aside from the breakfast and dinner, both prepared their own lunch. In addition, Eins and Zwei consumed Felix's system-made spirit stones as daily meal, so they didn't need to take care of the little one.

Each day, Jiji worked tirelessly, clearing the yard of debris and transforming the space around the house. By the end of the week, the once chaotic mess had been fully renovated. The petrified monsters were no more. Jiji had crushed them into powder and used the remains to fill gaps in the soil, creating a smooth, even surface for the front yard.

She didn't stop there. Using the leftover stones, Jiji polished them into neat rounded shapes, intending to use them later as decorative garden stones.

With a new front yard paved and small plots of land ready for planting, Jiji took a step back to admire her handiwork. The yard had transformed into a clean and open space, but something was missing.

As she stood in the twilight, Jiji wondered how to proceed.

Should she make the garden cozy and welcoming, or grand and impressive?

Unsure of which direction to take, she sighed and decided to leave the final decision to Felix.

For now, her work was done. Jiji returned to the house, eager for Felix to emerge from his seclusion and see the transformation she had made for him.

Essence Stone Room

DING

<You have purchased Dim Philosopher Stone.>

Felix's grin widened as he watched the new item appear in his inventory. He quickly pulled up its description to compare it against the other items available in the system store. His eyes gleamed as he read through the details, weighing its potential.

…

Dim Philosopher Stone (100 charges)

Description: Mass-produced by the Transcended Alchemist, Wu Buyi. Created from cheap expired materials salvaged from the depths of the alchemist's warehouse, this philosopher stone has low charges and cannot be repaired. Despite its limitations, it offers potent abilities for those willing to strategize around its weaknesses.

[Effect-1] Each use consumes one charge and grants one of the following effects:

- Duplicate items: You can create up to 1,000 exact replicas of an item, provided you have the original in hand for copying.

- Resurrect and heal a person: This effect brings an individual back to life, restoring their body to perfect condition with all organs fully repaired at 100% functionality.

- Replenish mana: Instantly restore 100 million mana points to any battery or energy source.

- Material transformation: Convert a single material into 1,000 different variations of similar quality. This effect requires a Super Democracy Pass of equal or higher grade to activate.

- Item creation: Craft any item whose quality matches your current Super Democracy Pass grade, effectively creating new tools or gear based on your existing access level.

- Item restoration: Repair any damaged item to its original, factory-condition state, as though it were brand new. Require a piece of the original item.

[Effect-2] Each use consumes 10 charges and grants one of the following advanced effects:

- Enhancement: Upgrade a item into a higher-quality version of itself, improving its attributes and value. Requires a completed item with a perfect condition.

- Superior item creation: Generate an item that is one tier higher than your Super Democracy Pass's current grade, allowing you to craft more powerful or valuable objects. Requires a completed item data in your system's encyclopedia.

- Owner resurrection: Automatically resurrect the stone's owner upon their death, restoring them to life without the need for manual activation.

Note: To activate the Dim Philosopher Stone, simply inject your mana or energy into the stone and make a wish. Alternatively, you can activate it from your inventory using the guided function.

…

A tool like this was invaluable. The potential to duplicate items or even resurrect someone was powerful enough to tempt anyone, but it was the mana replenishment feature that truly caught Felix's attention. Replenishing 100 million mana points in an instant could be a game changer, especially when his oil reserves inevitably ran dry. The stone could make life a lot easier.

"Cheap expired junk, huh? If I could, I would've done the same! That's how B*ll G*tes found IBM! Wu Buyi, you genius son of a beach. I don't know who you are, but man, I wish I could shake your hand one day."

His grin widened as his eyes lingered on the resurrection ability. The idea of having a safeguard for his life was comforting. If the worst happened, if he was ever killed, the Dim Philosopher Stone would bring him back, assuming it still had charges to spare. The prospect of cheating death was no small thing.

Eager to test its capabilities, Felix rummaged through the pile of broken weapons he had been collecting over time. An IWI shotgun, a SCAR rifle, his old handgun, and a dozen or so jammed or damaged firearms sat in the corner. He wondered if a single charge could restore all of them at once.

Brimming with anticipation, Felix activated the philosopher stone, which appeared in his inventory as a green pebble icon. The system promptly opened a menu, showing the various selectable functions of the item.

Felix quickly selected the item restoration feature.

*DING*

Jessica's portrait appeared on the interface, her voice guiding him through the process.

<Select an area where you've placed your items. Keep in mind, all objects you wish to repair must be inside the green light.>

A square meter of glowing green light materialized in front of Felix. Following his gaze, it moved as he directed it with his mind, though it was a little tricky to control at first. Still, the array allowed him to gather all the broken weapons under its glow.

Felix carefully adjusted the square of green light over the pile of broken weapons, ensuring every piece was within the boundary. He commanded.

"Now,"

The green square stopped moving, and a system message appeared before him.

<Repair the chosen items?>

"Yes."

*DING*

The green light transformed into a bright beacon that enveloped the weapons, then vanished. The items inside the square floated gently into the air as their parts and components reassembled and regenerated themselves.

Ten seconds later, they landed softly on the floor, gleaming as if they had been freshly manufactured. The stocks, barrels, and chambers all sparkled like brand-new, restored to perfect condition.

One charge to repair all the items—worth every drop of mana. He couldn't help but think it deserved a five-star review.

Felix barely glanced at the WWII rifles he had repaired. His attention fixated on his prized golden SCAR rifle and his shotgun.

"My precious..." he murmured, lifting the SCAR with reverence.

He rubbed his cheek against the rifle's stock, savoring the smooth, flawless surface. Then, in a moment of madness, Felix licked it before giving it a French kiss.

"RERORERORERORERORERORERORERORERORERORERORERO!"

The waxy taste of metal coated his tongue, but he didn't care. It was a small price to pay for his beloved weapon's restoration.

Jessica facepalmed. If the weapon was alive, it would have vomited or committed suicide because of disgust.

But Felix wasn't done yet. His gaze shifted to the enhancement option. Using 10 charges, it would allow him to further improve the weapon's capabilities. He wondered if it could enhance multiple items at once, like the repair function had done.

"Jessica, can I enhance many items at once for 10 charges?" he asked.

<No. Only Philosopher Stones of a higher grade can do that. Yours is just a low-class philosopher stone for mortals.>

Felix sighed. He already knew the answer. The stone's description clearly stated that the Dim Philosopher Stone was the lowest tier available. Higher-grade stones like the "Fine," "Stable," "Shining," and "Perfect" versions were astronomically expensive, each tier multiplying the price by adding two extra zeros.

At 1,000,000 years of lifespan, the next tier—Fine Philosopher Stone—was far out of his reach.

"It doesn't matter," Felix shrugged. He only needed one or two guns as his primary weapons. The rest could serve as disposable arms if necessary.

Felix settled on upgrading his SCAR rifle, his all-around favorite. With a thought, he activated the enhancement function.

The green light reappeared, surrounding the rifle. It seeped into the SCAR's components, and Jessica's voice soon provided the details.

<You have upgraded FN SCAR 16s.>

<The components now support mana rounds.>

<The magazine size has increased to 40.>

<The recoil force has been reduced.>

Felix grinned from ear to ear. The SCAR was now more formidable than ever, but Jessica wasn't done yet.

<The components have been slightly modified. The rifle now supports both automatic mode and burst-fire mode.>

"!!!"

Felix's eyes widened in shock. The standard civilian FN SCAR 16s had always been limited to semi-automatic firing due to U.S. laws.

But now? Now it could fire like a fully automatic machine gun, vastly increasing its lethality.

"That changes everything." Felix's heart pounded with excitement. His upgraded SCAR was no longer just a tool. It was a weapon of mass destruction.

Felix carefully stored his newly enhanced SCAR rifle, satisfied with its transformation. The IWI shotgun was next on his list for upgrades, but for now, he decided to conserve the remaining charges of the Philosopher Stone. Another project was calling his attention.

It was time to exploit the system's loopholes and pull off some real-life glitches to secure infinite resources!
