Useful Mask
Durability:
Sole User: Huangquan
Miraculous Attribute: [Useful] Can be activated once per day. After donning the mask, you will become exceptionally useful.
Note: Just tell me, is it useful or not?
—————
After a long silence, Niman looked at the mask in Little Huangquan's hands and analyzed, "'Useful' covers far too broad a scope. I'm afraid we'll have to thoroughly test Little Huangquan's mask to find out where its limits lie."
"Then let's keep going. Once everyone has used their singularities, we can study them all together," Yu Xian said with a smile.
He actually thought the attribute on Little Huangquan's mask was quite good. At least "useful" sounded inherently practical, rather than some completely worthless trait.
Little Huangquan was in no rush either. She absorbed the mask back into her body and turned her gaze toward Little Nora.
"Ahem, then I'll go next." Seeing everyone looking at her, Little Nora immediately felt thrust into the center of attention. Pushing out her chest, she pulled a bowl from her feathers. Everyone couldn't help but smile; the little thing was simply too adorable—no one had expected her to be carrying a bowl around on her person.
In truth, Little Nora had only started carrying her dining bowl around for the past two days. Because she could conjure food anytime and anywhere, having a bowl was essential.
As for chopsticks, she had feathers, so she had no need for chopsticks.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, she tapped her finger against the bowl. The bowl immediately began spurting gold, and in the blink of an eye, it was filled to the brim with solid gold.
"Gold?" Nora asked in surprise.
On Earth, gold had always been precious.
Niman was equally astonished. "Could Little Nora's bowl conjure a bowl of gold every day?"
"Wuu-wuu-wuu, ah-wuu-wuu!" By this moment, Little Nora already knew what her bowl could do, but she wasn't happy in the slightest. Instead, tears welled up in her eyes, and she finally burst into tears.
Everyone hurried to comfort her, and only after quite some time did Little Nora stop sobbing.
Looking at the bowl in her hands, she said heartbrokenly, "I can never eat out of my bowl again!"
She then shared the bowl's attributes with the group. Hearing them, everyone was left speechless. Having this bowl basically meant never lacking gold again, but for Little Nora, it was truly a bolt from the blue.

Gold-Making Bowl
Durability: 10/10
Sole User: Nora Hild Garuda
Miraculous Attribute: [Gold Making] As long as this bowl is held upright, it will automatically generate a bowl of gold.
Note: Hark! Come dine on gold!
—————
Put simply, as long as Little Nora held the bowl right side up, it would always be filled with gold, making it utterly impossible to ever hold food in it again.
Little Nora dumped the gold from the bowl onto the floor and turned the bowl right side up again. Sure enough, an endless stream of gold gushed out once more—neither more nor less, filling the bowl to the brim.
She dumped it out again and flipped it right side up; gold appeared inside once more.
In a huff, she kept dumping out the gold, but every time the bowl faced upward, gold welled up from the bottom, infinite and inexhaustible.
"If one of those wicked women found out about this bowl, she'd definitely come steal it," Xiao Sensen thought to itself as it watched.
Unfortunately, a treasure that others dreamed of had become the most useless trinket in Little Nora's hands. After all, Little Nora was following Yu Xian now, with no worries about food or drink, and had zero need for gold.
Yet sad as she was, Little Nora ultimately accepted the outcome. She had already prepared herself mentally when she took out the bowl; it was just that this attribute was so utterly useless to her that she couldn't help crying.
"Stop, stop, stop! If you keep dumping it out like that, the entire warship will be flooded with gold," Yu Xian said, snapping back to his senses as he watched the gold pile into a small mountain, hurriedly calling a halt to Little Nora's actions.
Selling this much gold on Earth could create a multimillionaire in minutes, but here it was the most useless stuff imaginable.
"All that gold can actually be used to craft items. If none of you need it, I'll take it," Niman offered with a smile.
In fact, gold still had a market in Crescent Bay. After all, each world had only so much gold.
Although methods existed to manufacture gold, most cost far more than they produced, making it a purely losing proposition. Only a handful of specialized technologies could reliably produce gold without running at a loss, and those were monopolized by major factions. Thus, while the price of gold in Crescent Bay wasn't as exorbitant as on Earth, it was still respectable.
After Niman gathered up the gold, she produced a mushroom bowl identical to Little Nora's and said with a smile, "Little Nora, since that bowl isn't good for eating anymore, use this one instead."
Little Nora took the bowl, felt it, sniffed it, and cheered happily, "Yay! Now I have two mushroom bowls!"
Well then.
Little Nora was indeed easy to coax.
Everyone laughed again. Little Nora's miraculous item required no research; its effect was as straightforward as could be.
Next, everyone turned their attention to Nora. Because Nora planned to use her singularity on the Aska, both Yu Xian and Niman felt a bit tense. If the Aska were to break down, they would have to fuse instantly and duck into the King of the Abyss Battle Armor, or they would be in grave danger.
Nora was equally aware of the risks. Only after everyone was fully prepared did she speak: "I'm going to use the singularity on the Aska."
"Go ahead. We're all ready," Yu Xian nodded.
Nora crouched down and lightly tapped the floor with her fingertip. The light at the tip of her finger melted into the Aska at once. Immediately, the Aska rapidly turned golden, even the floor taking on a glittering golden sheen.
"Watch out. The Aska's material is changing. If anything goes wrong, we fuse immediately and enter the King of the Abyss Battle Armor," Niman warned alertly.
The Aska could navigate the Abyss, so its construction materials were naturally extraordinary. If it truly turned into solid gold, it would actually be weakened, potentially losing many of its functions and succumbing to the Abyss's corruption in no time.
However, that scenario never materialized. After everyone maintained their vigilance for a good while, the Aska remained floating steadily in the cosmic void.
"Come to think of it, we aren't even in the Abyss right now, so there's no way to test whether the Aska can resist the Abyss's corruption anyway," Yu Xian realized in hindsight.
They were currently inside a broken world. Although the power of the Abyss had seeped into this realm, it was still far away from where they were.
"No need to worry. I already know the Aska's attributes," Nora said with a smile.
She then shared the Aska's attributes with everyone. Upon hearing them, smiles broke out on every face. Little Nora and Xiao Sensen even cheered out loud, running laps around the group.
This was an enormous win; the Aska's attributes were absurdly strong.

Battleship of Immunity
Durability:
Sole User: Nora Rex
Miraculous Attribute: [Immunity] Every day, the battleship will automatically draw one immunity ability from three immunity attributes, which lasts for two days.
Immunity Attributes: Physical Attack Immunity, Energy Attack Immunity, Rule Attack Immunity.
Note: One out of three? No, one out of two.
—————
Currently, the warship turning golden was actually its state of physical attack immunity.
No physical attack could inflict damage on the warship. If it drew energy attack immunity tomorrow, the warship would have only a single weakness left.
This damned sense of security was simply magnificent.
Yu Xian scooped Nora up and spun her around, while the others clapped and laughed. Nora had rendered an immense service this time.
Everyone celebrated together for a bit. A full half hour passed before they resumed, and every pair of eyes turned toward Yu Xian. At last, it was his turn.
