Chapter 16 The Eve of Action
The familiar light surged again, and the light balls gathered, but this time the lottery burst out was not purple light, but a more dazzling orange light.
Peter's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but feel excited. The orange light generally represents the highest level of quality in any game.
It's a pity that the upper limit is lower because of the limited balance, but even so, this is the first orange reward Peter has received.
The light gradually dimmed, and a small round object appeared.
Is this... a ring?
Peter was slightly stunned. He originally thought that this system could only extract abilities, but he didn't expect that it could also extract items.
However, if you think about it carefully, the compound No. 5 extracted at the beginning also appeared in the form of an item, so it is quite reasonable for a ring to appear at this moment.
What Peter is most concerned about now is what this ring is, whether it can directly provide superpowers like Compound No. 5, or whether it is a powerful magical item.
As an orange reward, Peter even vaguely expected that the ring would flash a green light.
And a translucent blue light curtain also appeared immediately, listing the attributes of the ring one by one.
【Invisibility Ring】(cannot be upgraded)
The magic ring carried by powerful creatures such as Zuma Leader and Dragon Touch God can freely change its size to fit anyone's finger perfectly. Only powerful creatures can use this item. Once you wear this ring, you can immediately become invisible. .
Note that this item contains five energy points. Each time you enter invisibility, it will consume one point of energy. It will restore one point of energy every three hours. It can be restored through the same source of energy.
The invisibility state provided by this item can be broken by any strong collision or impact. Once broken, the item must be worn again to enter the invisibility state again.
At the same time, the invisible range of this item can only cover the wearer himself and his personal items. Depending on the size of the wearer's body, some parts of the body may not be invisible.
...
Peter's mouth opened slightly as he read the description of the item.
It's not that the properties are bad, on the contrary, the properties of the ring are completely worthy of the orange light.
Although it can only provide invisibility, as an item it will not cause any conflict with the two serums injected into one's body, nor will it aggravate one's own mutations. In short, it has no side effects.
And the invisibility ability can also bring great help to Peter now.
Especially when he is about to fight many super villains, the more power he has without any side effects, the better.
But the origin of this ring really shocked Peter.
If he hadn't seen the Zuma leader who appeared in the introduction, he wouldn't have been able to tell which world this ring came from.
In fact, even Peter has only heard about this ring. It is estimated that those who actually own or are familiar with this ring already have children.
All I can say is that the scope of this lottery is indeed very wide.
Peter deposited this invisibility ring directly into the storage box that had been vacant, and finally used all the functions of the system.
However, just when Peter was focusing on checking out the newly acquired ring, a burger was stuffed into his open mouth, forcing Peter to look at Gwen and Diane.
At this time, both of them were staring at Peter with contempt.
It took a while for Peter to realize that perhaps his subconsciously widened mouth was thought by the two of them that he was also begging to be fed.
However, Peter didn't explain, and just swallowed the burger in a few mouthfuls.
And Diane plans to continue pursuing the investigation.
She once again took out the paper she had filled with plans before, and while the three of them were present, she planned to continue the "combat meeting" that was unexpectedly interrupted before.
She first looked at Peter and asked:
"Gwen said you took over all the search tasks today, so did you find anything?"
Peter glanced at Gwen who quickly turned her head away, and then said helplessly:
"I don't have any clues, but I have a certain understanding of him. As for the source of the information, I must keep it secret, but I can guarantee that the information is absolutely reliable."
Diane nodded in approval, then motioned for Peter to continue speaking, and even Gwen sneaked closer.
After all, she has fought against the gang leader's men many times, but now she still knows the name of the other boss from Diane, so she is extremely interested in Peter's information.
"First of all, what you must understand is that this Fisk is a very dangerous person. He is different from ordinary gangster leaders. He is not only powerful, but also smart.
The reason why Fisk has been unknown in the underground world is not because he can't make a name for himself, it's just that he doesn't need these names, and he is still deliberately concealing his name.
And he is also a very powerful tactician. If I ask him to evaluate him, he is the most powerful politician in the prosperous times and the most powerful warlord in the troubled times."
Diane said directly in Chinese:
"A capable minister in prosperous times, a hero in troubled times."
Seeing Peter's surprised look, Diane couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said proudly: "I'm very good at Chinese."
Then Diane said solemnly:
"If your assessment of him is not exaggerated, then he is indeed the most dangerous enemy our family has ever faced."
But Peter shook his head and said:
"That's not all. No matter how dangerous you think he is now, you will find that you still underestimated him when you actually fight him. He is far more terrifying than you think."
Peter stared into Diane's eyes and continued:
"He is a meticulous tactician, so every order he gives is not given casually, but has a hidden purpose. If he makes a mistake, then I would rather believe that the mistake was intentional.
”
Diane fell into silence after hearing this, and her beautiful brows wrinkled little by little, while Gwen on the side was also frightened by Peter's description, and had already wrapped her arms around her knees.
And Peter was also quite unhappy.
If placed in the real world, there may be such characters, but they are basically characters that only appear in a few hundreds of years. However, in comics, such characters are basically things that can be set at will by the editor with a few ideas.<
/p>
In the end, even Bullseye, who is definitely the King of Soldiers in reality, is only the top of the second-tier villains in the comics.
Such skills as super archery, which ordinary people need extremely high talents to acquire in their lifetime, are almost like a cabbage for every named character in comics.
After being silent for a long time, Diane finally raised her head and said firmly:
"I have to rescue my father no matter what. As I said before, only my father has enough prestige and means to suppress others.
Only by rescuing our father can we regain control of the family after defeating Milk."
Her eyes swept over Gwen and Peter, and finally landed on the schedule she had written before.
"Next, I still need you to try your best to find where my father is. I will also use all the contacts and help I can use. Once we find him, we will take action immediately.
If I can find support, they will pretend to attack, and you two will be responsible for rescuing my father. If I can't find support..."
Diane bit her lip and finally said calmly:
"If I can't find backup, I will personally serve as the bait, and you will still be responsible for rescuing my father."
Peter admired the girl's decisive look. If he didn't have a camera, he would really want to record this scene. Gwen also looked at Diane with admiration. In the end, the two of them rejected Diane's proposal in unison.
"No."
Diane answered firmly.
"I am the most suitable candidate for this. They dare not hurt me because of my identity, and I can't do anything to help rescue my father. It will only hold you back. As long as you rescue my father, you can turn us around."
The family's downfall."
Peter and Gwen looked at each other, and then Gwen turned to Diane first and said:
"I am not your family's thug. The reason why I agreed to cooperate with you is to fight against criminals and prevent innocent people from falling into danger, so I will never watch you go into danger yourself."
And Peter also agreed:
"That's right, I don't care about your family's affairs. The only person I serve is you, and if it weren't for the fact that you are pretty enough, I would have left long ago. Three million US dollars is not worth it for me to have sex with this person.
Fisker is desperate. If you are asked to take the risk, it would be putting the cart before the horse."
Diane and Gwen immediately looked at Peter with contempt.
But Peter didn't care at all. Instead, he waved to the two of them for more, seeming to enjoy the gaze of the two beautiful girls.
Ah...I really want to beat him!
The two beautiful girls looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.
But Peter hurriedly spoke before the two of them took action.
"So after I discover your father's location, I will rescue him myself, and you will be my backup."
"Huh?"
The two people who gathered around were stunned, and Diane looked at Peter suspiciously.
Although the two of them have formed a fairly solid relationship of trust in the past few days, after all, they have only known each other for less than a week. To say that the other person is willing to do this for you is no different from risking death.
Task...
Diane subconsciously protected her chest with one hand, and at the same time took a half step back, looking at Peter with a somewhat wary look.
Peter spread his hands helplessly.
"Don't worry, I am very confident in my current stealth skills. Even if I am besieged by the other side, I will be confident in escaping. At least it is more reliable than you running into the tiger's mouth."
Although he is indeed greedy for Diane's body, he is not so lustful that he will die for Diane.
The main reason why he took the initiative to take on this task was because of the invisibility ring he just drew.
It can be said that this ring is the artifact of all thieves and assassins.
