Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Ghost Face Mask (Please Recommend and Collect)

[Equipment: Ghost Face Mask]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Type: Armor]

[Effect: Increases face protection, conceals facial features]

[Notes: Shy players, pay attention! Don’t miss out. Once you put this on, no one will recognize you, which makes you have a thick skin. You might think it’s the brutal Emperor, actually, it’s just the same mask]

"Oh my, so the Evolution Game also plays with physical thick skin?" Li Changhe was a little frustrated. After all the mystical unboxing he did with Yun Ting, they could only find stuff made of ordinary materials.

It wasn’t a surprise, really. Considering the good rewards they received from their previous unboxing, it was about time they encountered a disappointment.

Li Changhe casually stuffed the [Ghost Face Mask] back into his backpack and decided to go to bed. He was too tired to analyze his abilities and equipment any further.

Yun Ting, on the other hand, remained in the living room playing with her phone. Suddenly, she mumbled: "Isn’t it kind of bad for a man and a woman to live in the same room?

"Quit kidding, Brother Ting," said a fatigued Li Changhe, "I still prefer human girls."

...

Luckily, due to a fire, Yanyun Middle School was temporarily closed for fire protection inspections. The school was in holiday mode, and with the upcoming National Day holidays, there was a 10-day break.

This gave Li Changhe ample time to prepare.

Along these lines, Li Changhe spent one day experimenting with his own [Physical trait: Bronze Skin Iron Bone]

Frankly speaking, it was masochistic. Li Changhe, after using a needle and a kitchen knife for preliminary body strength testing, had to use some [High-Efficiency Healing Liquid].

"That’s why they say [High-Efficiency Healing Liquid] is the early game holy medicine." Li Changhe looked at the wound on his arm healing slowly. Given the high score of 10 for his physique, the effect of the medicine wasn’t as apparent as it was in the beginning.

It was mentioned in the [forum] that [High-Efficiency Healing Liquid] would only have significant effects if the physique score was below 13. In other words, after reaching 13 points, the liquid wouldn’t help much in recovering from injuries.

"However, it’s quite amazing that my [Bronze Skin Iron Bone] can cause bleeding even with a strong hack from a kitchen knife. If I reach a physique score of 13, I assume ordinary cutting tools can hardly leave a trace on my body." Li Changhe pondered.

"Should I mainly level up my physique next?" Li Changhe hesitated.

On the other hand, Yun Ting was laughing while looking at her phone as if she was a genuine homebody.

"Stack the thickest armor, endure the deadliest attacks! Young man, heaven is on the left, warriors to the right, think three times!" Yun Ting laughed while shaking her phone," Even if you level up your physique, you’re still a human. I suspect [Unseen Red Dust]’s physique is stronger than you now. And didn’t it get seriously injured in the explosion?"

Indeed, despite her numerous ridicule, she wasn’t wrong. Focusing on leveling up one thing might give some advantages, but human are still carbon-based life forms. Even if physical strength reaches its limit, they’re still carbon-based life forms, after all.

Unless the [Evolution Game] is able to change the [Player]’s bodily structure at the same time as the upgrade.

No one in the [forum] has ever mentioned this. Yet, someone must have tried. Whether it’s a failed experiment or has it gone unnoticed after being a successful one.

Anyway, don’t worry about these things for now. The most important thing at the moment is... working a job!

For purchasing items required for the [Task], Li Changhe had spent all his savings. He’s reluctant to exchange his game currency into cash. So right now, the only option is to start working.

"Brother Ting, stop looking. It’s time for work!"

"What are you planning to do?"

"Since my physique is so strong now, I should specialize in something." Li Changhe smiled, "There must be quite a bit provided as a boxing sparring partner."

So ten minutes later, Li Changhe, riding a small bicycle, arrived at the street where Yanyun Fitness Club was situated, the same place where he practiced archery.

He looked again towards the library. He remembered the girl victim he saved worked at that place.

He did not see Zhao Jiu, but heard from chattering employees that Zhao Jiu encountered a murderer last night. Thanks to a brave woman who frightened off the murderer. This must be the result of [Great Wall]’s hypnosis suggestion.

"It seems like [Great Wall] can only do so much. Can’t they change their tactics besides hypnosis suggestion?" Li Changhe muttered to himself.

"Be careful. There seems to be [Players] nearby, observing something." A voice suddenly sounded in Li Changhe’s mind. It was Yun Ting. Li Changhe’s eyes flickered. [Players]? They must be [Great Wall Players]!

Do they suspect that the person who saved Zhao Jiu would come and make contact with her?

Or is it that... they found clues from yesterday’s action? Oh my God! Luckily, Li Changhe was still riding his bicycle. He quickly took out his phone and pretended to make a call. Then, he hurriedly left without doing anything suspicious.

"Damn, has the Great Wall Strategy Group been dispatched?" Li Changhe knitted his eyebrows, even cancelling his previous plan to go to the gym.

Yang Dong must be one of the executors within [Great Wall]. Xiao Nan called him Captain Yang, he must be a high-level member. He’s powerful indeed. But the people who made plans in [Tasks] are from another department of [Great Wall], the Strategy Group!

The [forum] had already hyped up the Great Wall Strategy Group. Regardless of the [Task], they could come up with good strategies. This wasn’t even the on-site command.

In a [Large Scale PvP Task], with ten players in a group and five groups fighting against each other where one group had three members from the Strategy Group. They managed to defeat the other forty players without losing a single person, causing them to question their existence.

In a [Large Scale Script Task], against official [Player Organizations] from different countries and many more individual [Players], the Strategy Group managed to make use of any condition to obtain plenty of resources and rewards. Like Xiao Nan’s Demon Armor, a [Special Ability]...

If Li Changhe ended up on the hit list of the Great Wall Strategy Group, his identity would be exposed. After all, they’re the most intelligent team in Hua Country. If Li Changhe made an extra move, he would probably be suspected.

"Thankfully, Brother Ting, you can sense players." Li Changhe rode a good distance before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you players activated bag skills or something, I would have a clearer sense." Yun Ting replied, "Just now those guys were merely standing there, and I already sensed danger. This could be what you call a peculiar ability of the Mysterious Species."

Li Changhe nodded silently, realizing that he had underestimated [Great Wall].

"Could I have left any loopholes last night?" Li Changhe frowned, remembering that it had rained heavily last night. So even if there were any traces, they should have been washed away.

There was no remnant on the murderer’s body, not the arrow nor the equipment. Even the voice used for calling the police was Yun Ting’s. I shouldn’t be linked to the crime.

"I need to be extra careful." Li Changhe murmured to himself. It wouldn’t be safe to go to the gym now, showing off his archery skills or working as a boxing sparring partner would attract [Great Wall]’s attention.

He was already a person of their suspicion. If he showed his archery skills, they would confirm that he was the one who killed the murderer last night.

Nevertheless, it wouldn’t get in the way of his work, Li Changhe soon found a temporary job. After all, he was quite familiar with these works as he worked many part-time jobs over the past few years.

Just when Li Changhe was planning to go home for a good meal after the exhausting work, someone sent him a message.

"I’m discharged from the hospital now. Let’s dine out at the Oceanic restaurant." The sender was Xiao Nan.

Li Changhe felt a bit unnerved.
