Chapter 566: New Traits and Panel Refresh
Xu Huo opened his personal panel, and all the data had been updated.
【Player Nickname: Passerby A】
【Player Type: Black Player】
【Occupation: Passerby A】
【Note: As someone forever on the road, his chance of becoming the protagonist is only one in ten thousand.】
【Player Level: D】
【ID: 556688】
【Evolution Rate: 30%】
【Assets: 220,000 White Notes】
【Primary Traits: ① Legs That Never Tire; ② Insider's Perspective; ③ A Sad Thing; ④ Accident Trigger Physique; ⑤ Power of Writing; ⑥ Truth Transcends All】
【Note 1: Congratulations to the player for developing a new trait. Legend has it that Passerby A always appears at the scene of various accidents and incidents, and he repeatedly escapes unscathed while bearing the heavy responsibility of spreading the story. This legendary lucky trait is Truth Transcends All. When the world needs Passerby A, any danger will be eliminated. After using this trait, Passerby A will receive three hundred and sixty degrees of flawless protection, capable of resisting attacks from traits, items, weapons, etc. However, please note that its duration is only three seconds, with a twenty-four-hour cooldown.】
【Note 2: Congratulations to the player for developing a new extended trait—Straight-Line Distance. As a man with legs that never tire, how could he lack the ability to arrive at the scene of an accident at the first moment? This trait combines with frequent movement, allowing the player to perform a straight-line acceleration between two points within a hundred-meter range. By simply selecting an appropriate point, the speed can reach one hundred meters per second.】
【Note 3: Congratulations to the player for developing a new extended trait—Forced Forgetting. As someone often overlooked, Passerby A also has a temper. This trait can be used on multiple people simultaneously. As long as the target is looking at Passerby A—whether at his hair or his heels—they can completely forget everything about Passerby A within five seconds. However, it can only be used on a single person once, and it has the potential to be considered deceptive. To avoid being killed by high-level players, please use it cautiously.】
【Note 4: Congratulations to Passerby A for developing a new extended trait—Completion Script. Whether in a movie or a novel, everyone knows that an outline is useless because the script is only truly valid when the filming or writing is finished. With Insider's Perspective, Passerby A can discover details in the script that others cannot, even if Passerby A himself is unaware. Therefore, after each event ends, using this trait might yield surprises. It works even better when combined with paper.】
【New Items: ① Possibly Ma Liang's Magic Brush (C); ② Lucky Bracelet (D); ③ Sustained Illumination (D); ④ Collection Box (E); ⑤ Contactless Collection Tool (E); ⑥ Full-Body Anti-Contamination Suit (E); ⑦ Bandit's Treasure Box (E); ⑧ Charm +1% (E)】
【New Potions: ① Family Harmony (E); ② Sleep Aid Potion (E); ③ Colorful Bubbles (E); ④ Appetite Enhancer (E); ⑤ Emetic (E)】
【New Ticket: King's Toy City (E)】
The rewards from this instance were far richer than Xu Huo had anticipated. Just one primary trait and three extended traits alone exceeded his expectations; compared to these, the rest were almost negligible.
Especially the primary trait "Truth Transcends All." Although its duration was only three seconds, it could defend against conventional threats in the game. The B-grade item "Moving Metal" could only withstand three rounds of firepower attacks, and this trait could achieve the same—though its strength remained to be tested, and it was uncertain whether it could match the level of a B-grade item.
However, its true power lay in its ability to evade trait and item-based forces. Invisible and intangible trait and item powers were often the most dangerous, and relying solely on items for defense could often be insufficient. Three seconds was enough to save one's life when encountering a powerful enemy.
Moreover, judging by the description, the defensive power of this trait should be extremely strong, possibly even capable of withstanding the traits of high-level players.
Additionally, "Straight-Line Distance" had already reached the speed of the fastest peregrine falcon on land in Zone 014, timely compensating for his speed deficiency in terms of evolution rate.
"Forced Forgetting" had a similar effect to the item "Stranger in Plain Sight," but "Forced Forgetting" could be used on multiple people and ignored the target's player level. Looking at the conditions for use, if combined with "Power of Writing," it could even allow him to escape in situations of absolute power disparity.
Turning his attention to the trait "Completion Script," Xu Huo directly took out a piece of paper and used it.
Lines of text appeared out of nowhere on the white paper, describing his general experiences after entering the instance. Some parts had details, some did not, and there was nothing particularly special.
But when it came to the part where he escaped from the department store with Xin Lang, there were things he didn't know.
"...While Xu Huo removed his mask and disguised himself to escape, Lang Lang casually placed a strand of white fungal hyphae on his clothes. The almost weightless white hyphae invaded Xu Huo's 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 was actually unaware that Yuan Cun had used a trait on him when he left the ground."
"...Lang Lang's explanation of the King Fungus's effects greatly tempted Xu Huo. Out of caution, he did not verify it, but the symptoms of fungal infection on his body had already disappeared."
"...Just ten seconds before the stop, Xu Huo passed by a fungal research institute. The display window contained many fungal specimens and a comprehensive guide to fungi."
From the information in these texts, Xu Huo roughly understood the conditions and scope of "Completion Script."
The prerequisite for using this trait was that the events must have happened to him—things he had experienced or seen. The script could not write about things beyond his cognition. For example, Yuan Cun had used a trait on him, and he hadn't felt it himself, but the script could record it. However, it would only record it plainly and could not reveal the effect of the trait.
As for the mention of the "fungal research institute," that was interesting. It was something he had glanced over and hadn't paid attention to, but the script specifically noted it.
In other words, he himself did not consider this important information, but when the script organized the entire sequence of events, it provided this detail.
This was an unexpected bonus.
The text wasn't over yet: "While Xu Huo was using his trait in the car, someone was watching him from the clock tower across the street."
Xu Huo's brows furrowed, and he immediately looked up at the clock tower. He had observed that spot earlier and hadn't found anyone there. The script even hinted that the other party was watching him, so "Friend's Rating" should have displayed the other person's value.
Could the trait not provide a value? Or had the other party used some special item to evade the trait?
