Chapter 566: New Features and Panel Refresh
Chapter 565 of "Players, Please Board the Train" starts revealing the story: Xu Huo opened his personal panel, and all the data had been updated.The rewards from... Don’t miss it!
Xu Huo opened his personal panel, and all the data had been updated.
The rewards from concluding this dungeon were far more bountiful than Xu Huo had anticipated. Just one major characteristic and three extended characteristics alone exceeded his expectations. Compared to these few, everything else was almost negligible.
Especially the major characteristic "Truth Transcends All." Although its duration was only three seconds, it could defend against the conventional threats currently in the game. The B-grade item "Mobile Metal" could only defend against three firepower attacks, but this characteristic could achieve the same. Of course, its strength remained to be determined; it was unknown if it could reach the level of a B-grade item.
However, its powerful aspect lay in its ability to evade characteristic and item powers. Invisible and intangible characteristic and item powers were often the most dangerous. Relying solely on items for defense often proved insufficient. Three seconds was enough time to save one's life when encountering a powerful enemy.
Moreover, judging by the description, this characteristic's defensive power should be extremely strong. It might even be able to withstand the characteristics of high-level players.
Additionally, "Straight-Line Distance" had already reached the speed of the peregrine falcon, the fastest land speed in Zone 014, timely compensating for his speed deficiency in terms of evolution rate.
"Forced Forgetfulness" had a similar effect to the item "Strangers Though Familiar," but "Forced Forgetfulness" could be used on multiple people and ignored the target's player level. Looking solely at the usage conditions, if combined with "The Power of Writing," it might even be sufficient for him to escape from situations with an absolute disparity in power.
Looking at the characteristic "Finalized Script," Xu Huo directly took out a piece of paper and used it.
Lines of text appeared out of thin air on the white paper, writing about his general experiences after entering the dungeon. Some parts had details, some did not. There was nothing particularly special.
But when it reached the part where he escaped from the Department Store with Xin Lang, there were a few things he didn't know.
"...While Xu Huo took off his face shield to disguise himself and escape, Lang Lang inadvertently placed a strand of white mycelium on his clothes. The almost weightless white mycelium invaded his skin through his neck."
"...Although Xu Huo and Lang Lang escaped into the Underground Nest, they were targeted by a player named Yuan Cun. Xu Huo actually didn't know that Yuan Cun used a characteristic on him when he left the ground."
"...Lang Lang's description of the King Fungus's function greatly tempted Xu Huo. Out of caution, he did not verify it, but the symptoms of his fungal infection had already disappeared."
"...Just ten seconds before the car stopped, Xu Huo passed by a Fungus Research Institute. The display window held many fungus specimens and a book titled 'Complete Fungus Encyclopedia.'"
From the information in these lines of text, Xu Huo roughly understood the activation conditions and scope of "Finalized Script."
The prerequisite for using this characteristic was that it had to happen to him, something he experienced or witnessed. The script could not write about things beyond his knowledge. For example, Yuan Cun using a characteristic on him—he personally did not sense it, but the script could record it. However, it would only record it plainly and could not learn the effect of the characteristic.
The mention of the "Fungus Research Institute" was a bit interesting. This was something he had glanced at in passing, which didn't catch his attention, but the script specifically noted it.
In other words, he himself did not consider this important information, but when the script compiled the details, it provided this piece of information by combining the entire event's cause and effect.
This was an unexpected delight.
The text had not yet ended: "While Xu Huo was using the characteristic in the car, someone was watching him from the clock tower opposite."
Xu Huo's brows furrowed heavily. He immediately looked up at the clock tower. He had observed that place earlier and hadn't found anyone. The script actually indicated that the other party was watching him. In that case, "Good Friends Come to Score" should have displayed the other party's numerical values.
Could the characteristic not provide numerical values? Or had the other party used some special item to evade the characteristic?
