Chapter 248: Strength Enhancement, Acquiring Engraving Materials (Seeking Subscriptions for Ten Thousand Updates)_2
In Lu Heng's eyes, he had essentially become invisible, his colors merging seamlessly with the wall behind him.
Su Muyu raised her eyebrows, recalled the Chongming Bird, and scouted Lin Zeyu's position, her face revealing a look of surprise:
"This isn't an invisibility effect."
Invisibility effects are created through optical phenomena that make the target appear transparent.
Under the scouting of Perception System superpower users, the effect of invisibility isn't very good.
On the contrary, the effect of camouflage is sometimes better.
For example, Lu Heng used the Illusion Pearl to disguise himself as a Bloodline Demon to enter Black Stone City.
If he had tried to infiltrate Black Stone City while invisible, it would have been nearly impossible.
After all, key entry points such as the city gates definitely have Perception System Bloodline Demon guards.
The effect of the [Chameleon Camouflage Suit] isn't invisibility but changing the body's colors to match the surrounding environment.
Thus, under the reconnaissance of a Perceiver, what is seen blends perfectly with the environment.
Su Muyu evaluated, "I can see a mass standing there, but I can't discern any color differences; it merges with the wall. If you were lying in the bushes, indeed it would be hard to distinguish."
Lin Zeyu stepped out of his camouflaged state, snapped his fingers, and boasted, "Even Lady Su said she couldn't scout me, who in the world could? I definitely didn't choose this skill wrongly. Moreover, the description states it blocks thermal imaging and even smells."
"Move around a bit and see," Lu Heng suggested.
Lin Zeyu then walked a few steps to the side.
In their eyes, they could see a mass moving, and though it matched the surrounding colors, the colors of the surrounding environment would change as he moved, and his skill had to change along with it, this change process had a slight delay.
"I get it now, you can't move with this skill, moving will reveal you. But, lying down, you won't be detected, actually very powerful," Su Muyu gave a fairly impartial evaluation.
"As a sniper, you have to learn to lie still, I see no problem with this," Lin Zeyu was not disappointed with the skill effect.
He also had a bolder idea, asking, "What if this skill were upgraded, do you think it could reach a point where you wouldn't be detected even while running?"
Lu Heng rolled his eyes, "Wait until you have fully mastered the skill, talk in six months."
"I'll wait, and I'll definitely train this skill," Lin Zeyu exited from the camouflage suit's disguised state, clenched his fists, full of confidence.
Su Muyu pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Take your time training, I'm going to upgrade my skill now. My skill with the Invisible Veil reached full training level last month, but I was out of Divine Energy back then, now I can upgrade it."
"Close your eyes."
Lu Heng held her palm, helping her unlock the [Large Invisibility Curtain·Escape Shadow] skill lock.
Su Muyu had been through several skill upgrades before, and was very familiar with the process, introducing Divine Energy to begin the upgrade.
A few minutes later, after consuming 600 units of Divine Energy, the skill upgrade was successful.
Su Muyu pinched her chin, observed the upgraded skill attributes, and said, "It seems a bit different now."
Lu Heng couldn't guess what the skill had upgraded to either and asked, "What's the skill name?"
"Invisibility Field."
Su Muyu announced the skill name, then described its effects.
[Invisibility Field]
[Skill Level: B-Level]
[Skill Consumption: 10 Source Energy points/minute (Dragon Eye Gemstone Bracelet can reduce consumption by 10%)]
[Skill Range: Diameter 30 meters]
[Skill Effect 1: Releases Source Energy to create an invisibility field. Objects within the invisibility field achieve invisibility effect, blocking odors, electromagnetic signals.]
[Skill Effect 2: Perception counteraction, when encountering reconnaissance from a perception skill, a counter-perception takes place, with the Perception Attribute determining the information obtained by the opponent.]
Lu Heng understood this skill because it was one of the three divine skills of the B-Level Concealing Skills.
Especially the perception counteraction effect, with high Perception Attribute, could directly overpower the opponent.
This skill was one of the three divine skills of B-Level Concealing Skills, but there was also a downside in that it is linked to the Perception Attribute.
This means it normally performs moderately when used by assassin system superpower users.
Assassin system skills generally have high Agility Attributes, and definitely couldn't compete with Perception System users.
If an assassin system superpower user uses this skill, they would find it challenging to win against a Perceiver during the perception counter.
Therefore, this skill basically belongs to the Support System Perceivers exclusively.
Among Support System superpower users, there were actually several types.
In addition to the Perception System support, there was also the Spiritual System support.
Therefore, this skill wasn't suitable for all Support Systems.
Of course, even if used by a Spiritual System support, the effect isn't bad, just that the advantage in perception counteraction isn't as significant.
...
After this battle at Black Stone City, Su Muyu's Source Energy Level had risen several levels, reaching Level 32.
Wearing the [Dragon Eye Gemstone Bracelet], her Five-dimensional Attributes reached: Strength 75, Agility 77, Constitution 77, Spiritual 91, Perception 83.
Of the 91 points in Spiritual Attribute, 9 points were added by the [Dragon Eye Gemstone Bracelet].
This bracelet could now be said to be worth a fortune, especially since— at this time— the Dragon Eye Gemstones were unique on Blue Star.
Su Muyu played with the bracelet on her wrist, feeling the engravings on the Dragon Eye Gem and even matching them with the engraving patterns stored in her mind.
