Chapter 580 399: Chronological Pocket Watch, Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter
Zong Shen deeply understands this point.
Even under the 0.95-time multiplier, any of his actions seem a bit lagging compared to places with normal time flow.
Not to mention that this pocket watch also has a skill similar to strength extraction.
However, after being filled, it does not increase Zong Shen's attributes but provides a range-control skill called "Temporal Realm."
It also alters the surrounding time flow, only the user is not affected.
After reducing the time flow by 35%, even high-tier scouts with swift actions will become sluggish.
Long-range attacks like magic attacks and arrow attacks are the same.
With this ebb and flow, Zong Shen can exert even greater strength.
Although the abilities of this chronological pocket watch are not as heaven-defying as the [Time Stop Treasure Pearl].
But it's still very good as a combat auxiliary.
This thing can be considered an unexpected gain.
The pocket watch is a type of special jewelry equipment.
Zong Shen casually put it in the inner pocket of his tunic, which counted as successfully equipped.
His wisdom attribute immediately increased by 16 points, turning it to 54 points.
This attribute now slightly surpasses Aisha, the Tier Four Holy Light Deacon's wisdom attribute.
With the blessing of various jewelry equipment, it's not too difficult for Zong Shen to improve his attributes.
However, for now, he has almost reached a bottleneck.
Except for open slots on his fingers, he has almost nowhere else to wear jewelry.
On his chest, he wears a [Heart of Basic Power], [Unyielding Badge of the Dragon Descendant Knight Order], [Shadow Talisman], [Raven Pendant], and [Chronological Pocket Watch].
On his wrists, he wears a [Silver Moon Bracelet] and [Illusion Dream Bracelet] on each hand.
Both hands' fingers have five rings each.
Luckily, armor and gloves cover them; otherwise, Zong Shen would look like one of those gaudy noble scions.
No serious person would wear so many pieces of jewelry and accessories.
But these pieces of jewelry represent real attribute enhancements.
Compared to personal attributes, who's to say what's gaudy?
Zong Shen casually glanced at his attributes, which is a habit after changing clothes.
Currently, among the four major attributes, strength is still the highest.
It has already reached a terrifying 135 points.
The next is charm with 78 points.
Wisdom, 54 points.
Agility, 41 points.
These include the attributes brought by Zong Shen's level increases.
Also included are attributes from using various books of attributes, enhancement skills, and attached jewelry equipment.
Including a 25-point strength gain provided by "Strength Extraction."
Various factors combined have elevated Zong Shen's attributes to such an astonishing level.
But these days, due to the end of the burrow challenge, his strength extraction hasn't had any new gains.
Which is quite normal, as if daily battle intensity equaled that of the burrow challenge,
Then in just a few months, Zong Shen could raise his strength attribute to over a thousand points.
Such circumstances are nearly impossible to occur.
And with normal battle intensity, accumulating 1500 extraction value isn't easy.
Therefore, even though strength extraction seems to grow rapidly, it indeed has certain limitations.
Currently, Zong Shen's attribute enhancement has entered a short-term bottleneck state.
For most lords, his current attributes are an unattainable dream.
Zong Shen closed the attribute list and twisted his neck.
Now he is prepared to carefully examine the items from the two treasure chests just opened.
Only by being well aware of these can he quickly transform those items and blueprints into real combat power.
Zong Shen immersed his mind in the personal storage grid and began to rummage.
A few seconds later, he took out a peculiar mask.
The mask's surface was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist.
There were no patterns or magic inscriptions on it.
Only the endlessly churning mist.
No matter how blown or touched, they could not be cleared.
It seems that these mists are part of the mask.
However, when held, the mask still felt tangibly substantial.
Undoubtedly, this is a high-tier magic item, or a magical curiosity.
[Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter (Purple)]
[Quality: Rare Level]
[Skills: Illusory Mask (it can change the wearer's form, appearance, even voice, and demeanor according to memory. The maximum duration is 24 hours, with a 1-hour cooling period after 24 hours of wear. The skill effect cannot be penetrated by Tier Four and below scrying skills)]
Transformation Manipulation (it can designate a friendly target, transform into a specified form, and remain in a state of mind connection, continuously subject to your control. Duration 2 hours, cooling time 24 hours)]
(The Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter, a renowned magical curiosity, a high-level disguise tool, excelling in both effect and duration over [Transformation Potion])
This is one of the two rare level items opened from the [Support Silver Treasure Chest].
The effect is akin to an enhanced and extended version of a [Transformation Potion].
Furthermore, the disguise of this mask is more reliable than that of a transformation potion.
Unless it faces scrying skills above Tier Four, general true sight skills and scrying spells cannot see through the illusory mask's disguise.
Besides the appearance and figure, it even simulates voice and demeanor.
Zong Shen stared at the mask, finding it amusing.
He directly wore the mask on his face.
Ready to imagine the appearance of Baron Bezos.
The mist on the mask began to churn violently.
Almost instantly, the mask completed its transformation.
Even the figure and clothing changed.
He slowly approached the mirror.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror,
He let out an exclamation of surprise.
"Brother Zong Shen,"
In a gentle voice, he mimicked.
The voice was exactly the same as Baron Bezos's.
He was wearing the same well-fitted attire.
It was all visible under the elegant, illusory transformation technique.
Subsequently, he took off the [Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter].
From now on, he will add one more mask to his personal storage items.
He returned to the long table and continued to study the items that had just been revealed.
Only through exactly understanding them can he quickly transform those tools and blueprints into tangible combat power.
Finally, he took out a peculiar mask covered by a layer of billowy gray haze.
There were no patterns or magical inscriptions on the surface.
But the mask, when held, had a distinct tactile feel.
It was undoubtedly a purple-tier magical curiosity.
[Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter (Purple)]
This is one of the two rare level items obtained from the [Support Silver Treasure Chest].
The mask gives the user a fortified mimicry, more reliable than the previous Transformation Potion.
The disguise with this mask is not just about appearance; it can also mimic voice and demeanor.
Zong Shen smiled as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
"Zong Shen, little brother,"
He mimicked softly, sounding exactly like Baron Bezos.
Even the clothes he wore were neat and tailored perfectly.
It's an extraordinarily sophisticated illusory transformation technique.
But these projected clothing, while visible and tangible, offer no warmth or protection.
Zong Shen immediately removed the [Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter].
He returned to the long table and continued studying the items, eager to enhance his combat strength.
