Chapter 369: Chapter 369: The Battle for Super Props

[Please note, it can only steal one item from a person. Of course, as a magical item, sometimes it may choose to steal items according to its own will.]

Xu Huo took the item out and found it was a small, metal black snake as thick as a little finger. After examining the things he was wearing, he placed the snake onto the umbrella handle. The black snake, upon touching the object, clung onto it, its body circling and head sticking towards the ribs of the umbrella, resembling an ornament that belonged there all along.

He gripped it casually—there was nothing uncomfortable about it. Putting the umbrella aside, he then examined the Level D Item.

[Mona Lisa’s Veil: The smile of the Mona Lisa possesses a captivating and mysterious beauty, and mysterious things are often elusive. When you think you see it, it’s illusionary like smoke, and when you think you can grasp it, it becomes intangible like vapor.]

[Note: This is an item that can hide your tracks within a small area, suitable for concealing private belongings in various environments, such as secret funds. However, if your secret funds are living creatures, please let them be.]

True to its name, the item in his hand did seem like a veil. Once casually placed, it slowly blended with the surroundings and even mimicked light and shadow. Solely with the naked eye, it was nearly impossible to tell any difference. Accidental scraps and touches would not lift the veil. In general, without close attention, this veil was like an invisible handkerchief, taking root wherever it fell.

Xu Huo tried it on the umbrella handle, and after wrapping it around, the greedy snake became completely invisible. There were no abnormalities visible from under different lights, and the presence of the item could only be felt by holding the umbrella handle.

So he simply left the cloth on top and proceeded to look at the potions one by one.

Evolution potions, self-healing potions, and cleansing potions were the usual three. Among others were several bottles of strong painkillers, hallucinogen sprays, and love-enhancing potions, especially the strong painkillers that could anesthetize a person’s nerves, making them insensible to any pain for five minutes—it was an emergency medicine.

Additionally, there was a Level D ticket for "Sea World."

Xu Huo found that the rewards given after each copy’s conclusion tended to have an emphasis. If the props and traits were good, other aspects would be correspondingly weaker. This time, he had received an S rating for the copy, but there wasn’t much in the way of potions, tickets, and money. However, one main trait and one special item were also considered worth it.

At this moment, a few announcements popped up on the game panel:

[The search for the relics of the legendary figure, Carmen Field, has come to an end. The super prop "Feld’s Battle Angel," which is rumored to have earned Carmen Field the nickname "Morning Star," is suspected to have been obtained by a Super Player Paper Servant Master.]

[Recently, the Eye of Platinum’s lot of state-of-the-art weapons worth five hundred million White Notes was hijacked. It is reported that the armed personnel in charge of transporting the weapons were all killed, and the hundred-billion-credit dimensional battleship was lost in the spatial rift.]

[Recently, war has broken out in Zone 012, and it is anticipated that it will not be resolved within thirty days.]

Xu Huo had briefly glanced over the news about the Feld relics before entering Rose Castle and hadn’t looked closely. Now that he had received the broadcast, he sat down and checked the details of the incident.

This major event concerning all wormhole points wasn’t hard to find. He could retrieve hundreds of millions of messages using Shi Youzhi’s communicator, including official reports from Zone 011.

It was said that the Feld relic site was the place where Carmen Field had resisted enemies from other wormhole points. He had perished there, alongside three super players from other zones. The belongings of those three players from other zones had been recovered long ago, but the whereabouts of Carmen Field’s super prop remained unknown.

Over the years, the Feld family had sent many people in search of the "Battle Angel," but to no avail. That was until six months ago when Carmen Field’s grandson, Kairo Feld, took charge of the family and decided to make the relic site public, inviting players from all wormhole points to search for the super prop.

This event had been brewing since half a year ago and had only recently concluded. The results were not as simple as the game announcements that only mentioned a Super Player Paper Servant Master. Many well-known high-level players made appearances, and even before the official search began, numerous small-scale wars had broken out among the players.

Super players and super props might still be too distant for a Level D Player, but Xu Huo felt that the previous invasion of players from Zone 014 hadn’t escalated into a global disaster, partly because the game limited the number of times high-level players could enter low-level copies and the special item needed to enter Zone 014 from a copy. Additionally, the event of the Feld relic site was also a significant factor.

Zone 014 had not fully merged with the game, and the copy was isolated from the real world, so players needed a special method and channel to enter Zone 014 from a copy. Xu Huo had previously verified this, as a message cost two hundred thousand White Notes, showing the considerable expense.

However, these costs were probably not a concern for high-level players, let alone super players. With so many subdivisions at E27 Wormhole Point, how many players wouldn’t be interested in super props?

Now, it appeared that the Feld relic site had drawn away the majority of the firepower, which allowed Zone 014 to pass through the crisis by a narrow margin. Had more players from other zones come, had more players been killed, Zone 014 could have easily followed in the footsteps of Building Block Fairy Tale City Station.

Being targeted by other zones for a super prop was the calamity of Zone 014, yet due to the tug-of-war between the game and current events, Zone 014 was given a chance to survive. Such unpredictable fortune was hard to fathom and articulate.

"... Super props often possess the special ability to transcend time, space, and life, and in large-scale wars, this power is key to tipping the scales."

Xu Huo looked at the information about super props on the projection. The forms of super props varied and were not limited to reversing time or altering space. The super prop of the renowned Super Player Paper Servant Master from E27 was, for instance, paper. Compared to those abilities invisible to the naked eye, super props had more direct range and impact.

Ordinary and special items came with strict conditions and limited range in their use, and their outcomes weren’t absolute. However, the range of super props was unpredictable, and within its scope of use, every person and object fell under its powers.

Xu Huo recalled his time in Fenbei Town when "Three Seconds of a Lifetime" seemed to have saved his life by reversing time by three seconds. However, after comparing different clocks, the three seconds reversed by the super prop did not appear on any other clock, and other players were none the wiser.

In other words, the three seconds he reversed to relive had also reversed everything in Fenbei Town along with him. In the technologically advanced gaming world, indeed, three seconds could change the fate of a zone.
