58: Chapter 58: Level 3 Set, Exploding Luck!

"Xiao Lin?"

Sensing that Lin Xiao's expression was unusual, Jiang Wanwan moved closer to him.

Wen Yiran also huddled over, wearing her newly acquired fur cloak, the soft fur at the edge of the cloak brushing against the back of Lin Xiao's hand.

It was fluffy.

He spread open the gold-embossed booklet and displayed the text on the title page.

The two women exchanged a glance, a look of astonishment flashing in their eyes at the same time.

Judging from the description, this was not a traditional invisibility skill that relied on light and shadow concealment.

Instead, it worked by distorting the cognition of surrounding observers, causing them to "actively ignore" your existence.

The most terrifying part was that this skill was marked as a passive with no consumption, meaning as long as one learned it, it would remain in effect permanently.

"This is only Level 1..." Wen Yiran lowered her voice. "And it already has such a terrifying trait?"

Jiang Wanwan and Wen Yiran had seen the overbearing nature of 【Triple Moonlight】.

It was hard to imagine what kind of powerful traits would be added if this skill were fused and upgraded to Level 2, or even Level 3.

"This is a specially customized commemorative book from our shop; it has great collectible value!"

The maid clerk had appeared behind the three of them at some point.

Her smile remained sweet, and her heart-shaped headband swayed gently as she tilted her head.

They didn't know the use of this book?

Lin Xiao raised his eyes to size up the maid clerk, who was smiling in a very professional manner.

As expected.

He sneered in his heart.

The "NPCs" here simply couldn't understand the true description in the book.

Or rather, the world in the eyes of these "NPCs" was fundamentally different from what Lin Xiao saw.

That made sense. These blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigners were speaking Chinese with a thick, translated accent, yet they were incredibly fluent.

Wasn't this, in itself, a form of cognitive interference?

This amusement park... was truly interesting!

Lin Xiao came back to his senses and gently stroked the booklet in his hand.

He did not learn the Stealth skill immediately.

Because, just like the situation he had encountered earlier, 【Triple Moonlight】 could not brand the booklet.

Moreover, he didn't know if this type of skill book could be spawned in the Mystery Shop.

If he learned it directly, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

But, if he could get that female celebrity with the replication ability to mass-produce this kind of skill book...

"This is a special souvenir from our theme shop," the clerk added, her tone light. "Would you like to try the lucky draw again?"

Lin Xiao suppressed the restlessness in his heart, quickly closed the book, and hid it behind his back with an expressionless face.

Out of everyone's sight, he stored it into his backpack.

"Let Wanwan try next!"

Lin Xiao stepped aside to make room. "She has always had good luck."

Among the three, only Wanwan possessed a Luck stat, even though it was only 1 point.

Jiang Wanwan did not decline; she stood in front of the roulette wheel and took a deep breath.

The roulette wheel spun at a steady speed, but it turned for an unusually long time, raising the anticipation of the surrounding tourists to the extreme.

Finally, the pointer slowly stopped.

It landed on a golden area only one finger wide.

"Oh my god!"

The maid clerk covered her mouth, but she couldn't hide her slightly exaggerated expression of excitement. "Grand Prize! You've drawn our shop's Grand Prize, that's just amazing!"

Enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the surroundings at the perfect moment.

The smiles on the faces of those tourists were equally exaggerated, like a group of puppets whose programs had been set.

The female clerk bowed slightly and then trotted into the store.

Lin Xiao's gaze followed her until her figure disappeared into a small room inside the shop.

Was that... the shop's warehouse?

He wondered if there were any good things inside.

After breaking away from this bizarre "moment," would the equipment on the shelves or the supplies in the warehouse still exist?

He had to find an opportunity to investigate.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao began to pay attention to other areas.

What if there were any new discoveries!

Soon, the female clerk walked out holding a huge gift box.

The surface of the box was covered in dark red velvet, with brass-bound corners, looking as luxurious as a medieval noble's jewelry box.

"Congratulations!" She handed the gift box to Jiang Wanwan with a brilliant smile. "This is a recently trendy outfit; it suits your temperament perfectly!"

Jiang Wanwan looked at Lin Xiao, eyes shining with anticipation. "Xiao Lin, shall we open it and take a look?"

Lin Xiao nodded, pulled open the ribbon bow, and lifted the lid.

A complete set of finely crafted clothing was presented before their eyes.

It was simply too exquisite!

Lin Xiao picked up the velvet hood from the top layer, his fingertips stroking the soft fabric.

Then, his gaze focused.

Lines of equipment information appeared before his eyes one by one.

As expected, this wasn't some cosplay outfit at all, but a full set of genuine Level 3 equipment!

【Equipment · Chrono-Weaver (Set)】

【Parts: Velvet Hood, High-Collar Neck Guard, Satin Corset, Leather Belt, Ruffled Skirt Hem, Leather Long Skirt, Black Gauze Gloves, High-Heeled Boots】

【Exclusive Trait 1 · Pressure Equilibrium (Activate by wearing any two pieces)】

【The belt has a built-in micro steam core, capable of efficiently compressing and storing Mental Power. Mental Power cap is increased by 15%, while the natural recovery speed of Mental Power is increased by 20%.】

【Exclusive Trait 2 · Transmission Overload (Activate by wearing any four pieces)】

【Inject excess Mental Power into the transmission device to gain explosive mobility. When an active skill consumes Mental Power, there is a 30% chance to trigger "Overload," increasing your movement speed by 25% for 4 seconds.】

【Exclusive Trait 3 · Mental Amplification (Activate by wearing any six pieces)】

【The steam core is optimized; the fuller the Mental Power, the stronger the actual destructive power it converts. Your skill damage receives an additional boost, with the increase value equivalent to 10% of your current maximum Mental Power.】

【Exclusive Trait 4 · Dominion Stance (Activate by wearing all eight pieces)】

【Completely activate the set core to deploy a small domain that continuously consumes Mental Power. Within the domain, damage you receive is reduced by 15%, the [Transmission Overload] trigger chance is increased to 100%, and triggering it restores a small amount of Mental Power. The domain can last until Mental Power is exhausted or actively closed.】

...

Lin Xiao read through each point and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

This is really nice!

Although sets weren't like individual pieces where every part had its own trait.

But as long as the set's wearing conditions were met, one could obtain at least 4 powerful exclusive traits.

By comparison, the effects of exclusive traits were better.

Of course, some people specifically went for the individual-piece build, having their own unique, unconventional playstyle.

But if one wanted to pursue stability, a set was the best choice.

Additionally, it seemed that because this was a reward drawn by Jiang Wanwan.

So, both the style and the equipment traits were very compatible with her.

In other words, it was practically tailor-made for her!

The precious Mental stat cap and recovery speed, boosted skill damage, movement speed increase, and it even provided a life-saving domain.

For Wanwan, who used magic skills, this was a huge upgrade.

Moreover, this was a Level 3 set.

At the current stage, this was an existence that almost crushed everything else!

"Wanwan, your luck is just too good..."

Wen Yiran's voice was full of envy. She tugged at the fur cloak on her body and looked at the box of butter cookies, her lips pursing involuntarily.

It really is infuriating to compare people.

"Don't be discouraged, there's one more chance, you try again." Lin Xiao pinched her pouting cheeks.

As he said this, he turned to look at the maid clerk. "The Grand Prize hasn't been drawn out yet, has it?"

"Of course not!" The clerk pointed to a narrow grid on the roulette wheel that was almost invisible. "There is still one shop-suppressing treasure here!"

It was a weapon, a steam-powered gun displayed in the showcase.

Wen Yiran stood back in the crowd.

She rubbed her hands together and spun the roulette wheel again with a devout expression.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the pointer slid across one colorful grid after another.

Then, to Wen Yiran's disappointed expression, it stopped on a large grid with a badge drawn on it.

"This is our park's commemorative badge, symbolizing that you have spent a wonderful time here!"

The clerk's smile didn't fade, and she took the badge out of her pocket and handed it over.

There wasn't even any packaging.
