Chapter 231: The Thief Saint! Players in the Water and Fire of Sichuan!
Qin Feng opened his skill bar.
He looked at the assassin-type counter-invisibility skill “Shadow Perception” he had learned yesterday.
It was a legendary skill, which he had evolved to mythical level after spending 100 evolution points yesterday.
Now, with 2000 evolution points accumulated, he could finally evolve it to the ancient level.
——
【You have consumed 2000 evolution points, remaining 2 points.】
【Shadow Perception (Mythical → Ancient): Assassin-type skill. The higher your invisibility level, the higher your counter-invisibility level! You gain a ‘counter-invisibility level’ 3 → 6 levels higher than your own invisibility level in real-time.】
【Mythical effect: After seeing through the invisible target, increase damage to the target by 40% → 60%, lasting 20 → 30 seconds.】
【Ancient effect: After seeing through the invisible target, a fixed 100% stripping gauge will be applied to the target. During the stripping process, the target will completely lose sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste.】
——
The initial legendary skill, “Shadow Perception,” originally allowed Qin Feng to gain a counter-invisibility level equal to his invisibility level.
In other words, the higher his invisibility level, the higher his counter-invisibility level.
After evolving it to mythical, and now ancient, the counter-invisibility effect became stronger!
“My current invisibility level is…”
Merge with Darkness (Mythical): Invisibility level +14
Deep Darkness (Mythical): Invisibility level +7
Sonic Boots of the Clown (Epic): Maximum invisibility level +5
Adding the “Shadow” class’ level 2 invisibility, the total invisibility level became 28.
Therefore, the corresponding counter-invisibility level was 28 + 6, making a total of 34 counter-invisibility levels!
“This ‘Shadow Perception’ skill book was already the strongest counter-invisibility skill for assassins, and now it’s evolved to the ancient level!”
“34 counter-invisibility levels is already top-tier in the late game of my last life!”
When the skill evolved to mythical, it added a damage boost after seeing through the invisible target.
At the ancient level, it even added a game-changing special effect!
“Directly adding 100% to the stripping gauge…”
“It means it directly makes all the higher-level affixes of the target ineffective!”
“And during this stripping effect, the target also loses all five senses!”
Of course.
While the effect was powerful, triggering it required seeing through the target’s invisibility.
In other words, if the target isn’t invisible, “Shadow Perception” wouldn’t be useful at all.
In fact, Qin Feng hadn’t originally planned to spend 2000 evolution points to evolve this skill.
But then he suddenly remembered something else.
“At the Sichuan Ruins… besides the big-eyed NPC, there’s another one.”
“The Thief Saint, William Scott!”
“This is a level 50 NPC with a level 30 invisibility, often lurking in the ghostly dungeon beneath the Sichuan Ruins…”
The Ghostly Dungeon was located directly beneath the Sichuan Ruins, a turbulent area where the time flow was maintained at a rate of 100 times faster than normal.
This dungeon was vast!
The monsters in this area ranged from level 10 to level 30, and due to the fast respawn rate, it became a prime leveling spot for many early- and mid-game players in Sichuan.
But in the Ghostly Dungeon, there was one particularly annoying NPC…
That’s right—The Thief Saint, William Scott!
This NPC, with his high invisibility level, would sneak around, stealing equipment and items from passing players without ever getting caught, making countless Sichuan players curse in frustration.
If there was an NPC most hated by Sichuan players, The Thief Saint, William Scott, would definitely top the list!
It wasn’t until several years later that Sichuan’s officials dispatched top-tier players using special counter-invisibility methods to expose this NPC’s invisibility!
After seeing through his invisibility, as long as they dealt half of his health, they could “invite” him back to his hideout, where two services were offered.
One was the ability to purchase the “Thief Saint’s Token.”
This item could be used on players to randomly steal one item from their storage… Though this theft could be blocked by the “Unbreachable” affix, it was still incredibly annoying.
The other service was learning the inferior skill “Thief’s Hand.”
This skill could be used on monsters or bosses to steal their attributes!
Of course, since it was an inferior skill, the amount of attributes that could be stolen was limited. However, in the later stages, players who learned this skill often had base attributes 100-200 points higher than others!
“In the last life, this NPC was tightly controlled by Sichuan’s officials.”
“I only got the chance to learn this skill because I had earned some merits, and it cost me 500 years of lifespan…”
“But this time, with ‘Shadow Perception’, my counter-invisibility level can now see through this NPC!”
If it was just a couple hundred attribute points, it wouldn’t matter much to Qin Feng this time.
But the key was…
“Thief’s Hand” was a skill!
Its inferior quality limited the amount of attributes it could steal.
“What if I evolve it to mythical level or even higher? How would you deal with that?”
Even Qin Feng wasn’t sure what the skill would be like at higher levels!
Had Qin Feng not obtained “Shadow Perception” and evolved it to the ancient level, even if he could see through “The Thief Saint, William Scott’s” invisibility, it would still be hard to bring him back to his hideout after reducing his health by half.
But…
The ancient effect of “Shadow Perception,” with 100% stripping and sensory deprivation, perfectly set the stage for Qin Feng!
“It’s just that I’m not sure of the current location of ‘The Eye of Knowledge.'”
“Right now, only the Shudao Mountain guild might know.”
“Directly asking wouldn’t be appropriate, so I’ll use solving this ‘Thief Saint’ problem as a trade!”
Next, if everything went smoothly, Qin Feng could “defeat” and “shame” two important NPCs in Sichuan!
Thus, Qin Feng opened the private chat window with the quiet evening rain.
He asked her to communicate with Sichuan about this…
——
“Hurry up, hurry up, they say Shadow is coming to our Sichuan.”
“The Guild Master said he’s here to deal with that thief kid. Is that real or fake?”
“Who cares if it’s real or fake, let’s go and see.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, I’m following the Guild Master.”
“Don’t bump into me!”
“Bumping won’t kill you, what’s your problem?”
“Move aside, don’t get close to me!”
In the Sichuan Ruins, the Shudao Mountain Guild channel became lively.
The players were fired up!
You see…
The Shudao Mountain Guild was one of the top guilds in the Sichuan region, and the Ghostly Dungeon was currently the best leveling area, no doubt!
But…
There was that ‘Thief Saint’ in the area!
To level faster, they had to hide all their valuable items before going to the dungeon, and if they encountered a boss, they had to immediately take the loot back to their hideout for safekeeping.
Even so, many players still had their items stolen by that NPC, causing endless frustration and hardship!
In this situation…
The news had spread worldwide that the number one “Shadow” would come to solve the thief NPC. How could they not be excited?
“However…”
“Shadow’s invisibility level is high, but how about his counter-invisibility level?”
“That NPC has at least level 10 invisibility! We once found a diamond-tier torch in a wild treasure chest, planted it on the ground, and it had 10-level counter-invisibility. Still, our boss’s shorts were stolen, and we didn’t even see a shadow!”
“Right, that little brat is quite something, huh?”
