Chapter 568: Chapter 244: Malice (Happy New Year)

"Box, your face isn’t much better, huh?" Li Changhe held a palm-sized folding mirror and ridiculed: "Do you plan to use this kind of thing in battle? What happened to the promised combat ability detector?"

"Chill, this isn’t for you to use in battle!" Box also held a folding mirror and smacked his lips: "My face is already so red, what more do you want? At least I managed to put together a folding mirror."

[Insight Mirror]

[Quality: Fine]

[Type: Auxiliary Tools]

[Effect: Displays attribute information of visible targets for the user][Cooldown of two hours]

[Limitations: Cannot detect targets with perception shielding, cannot perceive Divinity]

[Remark: Magic Mirror, oh Magic Mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in this world?]

This is the equipment synthesized from the shards of the magic mirror, and Box managed to synthesize three of them. The original plan was to use them in Rain Village, but there wasn’t enough time to synthesize them.

The quality of this equipment is not high, but its effect is very useful.

[Players], Instance bosses, and plot tasks, if you can know their information in advance, it will play a significant role in your following actions.

The appearance is just a bit off, as it is a girl’s makeup folding mirror...

"Whatever, as long as it works." Li Changhe fiddled with the folding mirror and used Insight on He Feng.

A few seconds later, blood-red words gradually appeared on the mirror’s surface.

’LV9 Beast Fury Mad King · He Weifeng’

’Strength 12 points’

’Agility 9 points’

’Physique 10 points’

’Energy 10 points’

"Knowing the opponent’s attributes, we can come up with targeted countermeasures." He Feng also used Insight on Li Changhe.

However, there was no display at all.

"Then, our Insect God Vest has the effect of perception shielding. Even if the opponent has similar Insight abilities, it will be difficult for them to find us." He Feng said: "However, this Insight is not very useful in combat. The information takes several seconds to come out, and intense battles often end within seconds. This Insight is mostly for preparing before the battle begins."

"It can also serve as an early warning." Li Changhe added: "If you find an undetectable presence, it’s best to avoid fighting them. If you notice that the mirror is shattered... just run immediately."

He Feng nodded his head, as the Magic Mirror’s main body would self-destruct when it detected Divinity.

If the Insight Mirror, which originated from the Magic Mirror, self-destructed after observing someone, that meant the opponent has Divinity, which would be even more dangerous.

With this in mind, the Insight Mirror can serve as a warning.

Afterward, Li Changhe left Mr. Bai’s Pet Shop.

The synthesis of the arrows would take more than ten hours, so he decided to take a break during that time.

After all, they hadn’t had a proper rest under the conditions found in Rain Village.

On the way home, someone sent a message in his [Friends] list.

"Sir, have you guys received any news yet?"

It was Mo Mang, a teammate he met during the Chang’an Plague mission.

When the Great Tang mission prompt appeared a few days ago, the two had chatted for a bit.

"Nothing yet, we just cracked down on a criminal gang today and shared intelligence with my colleagues. What are you talking about?" Li Changhe asked.

In Mo Mang’s eyes, Li Changhe was still an official member. He had to be careful about that.

Moreover, Li Changhe wasn’t lying - they really had dismantled Rain Village just this morning.

"You’ll probably find out soon. I met a player during a real-world mission once and traded a Great Tang mission item with him." Mo Mang replied: "He was a solo player with decent combat power. So we have worked together a few times."

"A solo player? Understandable." This kind of occurrence was not rare, with players meeting in real-world missions and forming various alliances or small groups.

Li Changhe and He Feng were close partners, and when they found out that they were both players, they naturally formed a group.

Meeting with Mr. Bai was the situation Mo Mang mentioned.

From being initially alert to each other, to later working together.

And then to the later creation of [General Mountain] almost as a joke.

And then... fast forward to him going undercover on his own.

Cough, many solo players have become linked because of this.

Of course, there were also cases of infighting among them. After all, people’s hearts are separated by their stomachs, and what they say on the surface may not be their true intentions.

This kind of thing has happened many times.

Joining an organization rashly, one might not even know when they would be sold.

Some people worry about this and choose to be a solo player.

"And then?" Li Changhe inquired.

"Then...this morning, he fell to his death outside his hideout." Mo Mang spoke with regret in his tone: "What a shame. We worked well together."

As a [Player], only two possibilities led to their death: being killed by other players or failing a mission.

From the angle of falling, the former was more likely.

This was the weakness of solo players - they had limited power.

If another [Player] or [Player Organization] found their location.

Regardless of their intentions, the safest course of action would be to relocate or contact the authorities for protection.

Otherwise, they might be captured, enslaved, and used to provide game currency and equipment.

Bad scenarios include death on the spot.

"My condolences..."

"After that, I found his last words." Mo Mang continued: "It’s on the forum. He didn’t use an alias, so you can look up his post by searching ’Bird In The Forest’. That’s why I came looking for you. We...are in great danger now."

Li Changhe’s heart stirred and immediately went to the [forum] and searched for the keyword, Bird In The Forest.

He quickly found the post, which was posted this morning when he was fighting the sin monks at the time.

[To all players with Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty mission items, be careful. They are coming! Whoever it is... you must kill them! Kill them all!] The post was from Bird In The Forest.

There have been many Great Tang-related posts recently, and it’s difficult to tell true from false. This particular post didn’t attract much attention. Only a few official players continually inquired within the post.

And this... was Bird In The Forest’s last words.

"That means someone is targeting the owners of Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty items!" Li Changhe stopped in his tracks, looked at the distant red light that resembled blood, and remembered his friend with an empty body cavity. His organization was wiped out overnight.

The authorities speculated that the other party was aiming for the Great Tang mission items, but it seems they were still not satisfied.

Before long, the authorities also detected the unusual post and quickly pinned it to the top.

Almost simultaneously, dozens of mission items were put up for sale in the [Trading Center].
