Chapter 583 Entering the Book
After considering the pros and cons, Wang Zhifan decided not to play the Blood Battle Dungeon in the short term.
In this way, he needs to carefully study the rewards for the current Blood Battle Dungeon.
"I am not short of combat power at the moment. At my current level, epic equipment is unlikely to give me a significant improvement in strength, so let's consider the functionality."
After pondering for a while, Wang Zhifan screened through tens of thousands of epic reward options on the High-level Blood Battle Dungeon Reward List, and finally locked on a mask.
[Epic (Epic)]
[This soft and transparent mask perfectly combines the power of a legendary shapeshifter. It is as light as nothing and can automatically fit the face of any creature without causing interference, allowing the wearer to obtain the legendary shapeshifter's incomparable camouflage ability...]
The reason why Wang Zhifan chose this mask is that it can give the wearer a powerful camouflage ability, which can just make up for the functional gap after he lost the Crazy Treeman Mask and the Invisible Trick Clothes.
As an epic item, and a prop specifically used for camouflage, the Thousand Changes Mask is much more professional than the previous two. It not only allows the wearer to ignore the size difference for camouflage, but also can imitate the clothing, equipment and even most of the innate abilities of the disguised target. With the additional skill of stealing the target's memory, it can really make the fake look real.
Wang Zhifan naturally doesn't need to disguise to that outrageous degree, but since this mask looks the most functional, he chose it. Anyway, he doesn't expect it to increase his combat power.
After obtaining the epic Thousand Changes Mask, he put it directly on his face for testing and found that, as described in the instructions, this prop is extremely transparent, soft, light and breathable. As long as you wear it for a while, you can hardly feel its existence, and it automatically forms openings for the facial features, which does not hinder the wearer from observing, breathing, talking and eating.
As for the camouflage ability, as he thought about it, he changed from a tall young man wearing the devil's battle armor to a short old man wearing an old Zhongshan suit. Then he changed his mind and turned directly into a black bear weighing several tons. In the blink of an eye, he became a sparrow flapping its wings and flying around, which fully demonstrated what it means to be ever-changing.
"It is worthy of being an epic item. This mask seems to have only camouflage ability, but in fact it can simulate many abilities by disguising different targets, thereby providing combat power in disguise. Its development potential is definitely not small."
After thinking about the peculiar effects of the ever-changing mask, Wang Zhifan restored his original appearance and left Gaia Star to the Earth Star World.
At this moment, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning in Xiaguo, and he was going to Jinlin City to find Huang Neng to form a team to play the dungeon.
Before rushing to Jinlin City, he went back to the villa in Dongjiang City and found that the black eagle was still dormant and healing, so he decided not to bring it into the dungeon with him, and let Yilin and Yali take care of it for a while.
In addition, when he checked his phone to confirm the local time, he found that Chen Ming had called him and received a bank notification of a large amount of money being deposited.
He called back, but the person who got through was a person who claimed to be an assistant. The other party said that Chen Ming and his brother were currently in the Gray Domain. They drove a mecha into the area and were very enthusiastic about fighting. It was estimated that the Gray Domain would experience a heavy bombardment.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but feel a little proud, thinking:
"According to the assistants of the two brothers, they probably like the mecha I chose for them, which proves that I have a good eye... But in fact, after defeating the BOSS, I also selected two other gray domain rewards for them, excellent firearms and excellent automatic combat robots, but I was afraid that it would be too fake, so I couldn't take them all out and stuff them into their own personal space. No, I put them in my space ring at that time..."
Recalling the recent experience of helping the two brothers fight the gray domain, Wang Zhifan felt a little funny. He obviously got a reward that was more suitable for the two brothers, but he didn't dare to give it to them directly. He had to direct and act to send a relatively unsuspected one. This must be said to be a special trouble.
After the episode of the two brothers Chen Ming, Wang Zhifan then contacted Huang Neng, a high-level player in Jinlin City, because the agreed time was approaching.
Huang Neng was quite reliable. He sent a message and got a reply within a few seconds. Huang Neng said that he was almost at the city center building and asked him when he would come.
Wang Zhifan said that he was almost there, and then he used his space ability to directly reach Jinlin City from Dongjiang City.
About ten minutes later, the two met outside the downtown building.
Wang Zhifan changed his external clothing style through a variety of masks, hiding the domineering Demon King Armor, showing it as daily clothing, making him look more low-key.
Huang Neng was still the same as the last time they met, wearing a blue and white sportswear that was a bit shabby, with long hair and a gloomy temperament, just like a frustrated young man.
The two then walked to a nearby park while chatting, preparing to find an empty place inside to enter the dungeon.
During the short journey, Huang Neng once again emphasized to Wang Zhifan that he had to rely on himself after entering the dungeon, and he couldn't rely on him too much, because he might not be able to protect himself. Wang Zhifan accepted it happily and said that this was his idea.
"Brother Huang, don't worry, I'm ready. If you encounter trouble in the dungeon, you don't have to worry about me. Life or death is my personal destiny, and I have no complaints."
"It's best if you think so... But we're about to enter the dungeon. As an experienced player, I must remind you one last time that the dungeon will be much more difficult than what you've experienced before when you team up with a team of my level. You are very likely to be in danger of your life. If you regret it now, it's not too late..."
"Thank you, but just like what I said just now, I can accept it even if I die in the dungeon this time."
"Okay... Since you are so determined, I won't talk nonsense. Please wait for me to do a lucky-transfer ceremony, and we'll start right away."
At this point, the two had already arrived at an unmanned corner of the city park.
Huang Neng, a young man with long hair and sportswear, suddenly squatted on the ground, and a piece of yellow paper appeared in his hand. Then he rubbed his fingers and lit the yellow paper, and he quickly chanted in his mouth, as if an old monk was chanting.
"Three Pure Ones, Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor... Help me to be outstanding... Explode excellence..."
Wang Zhifan, who was standing next to him, observed this strange scene up close, and his expression almost didn't hold back. Although he didn't have much experience in teaming up with others, it was definitely the first time he heard of a lucky-transfer ceremony before entering a dungeon.
However, recalling the rumors about the young man in front of him, he also somewhat understood why this person was involved in metaphysics.
Hearing from those people in the player gathering, this player with a level of 77 is actually a big non-African. Except for his good luck in the early dungeons, he got a relatively good bloodline reward, and all the subsequent drops were rare-level, not even a single excellent-level one.
You know, although the excellent level is precious, it is for most players below Lv50. High-level players like Huang Neng generally have one or two excellent-level equipment on them, otherwise it is difficult to survive in high-level dungeons.
But Huang Neng is just an exception. He seems to be targeted by the extraordinary game. After playing the dungeon, he always gets rare items and never sees a single hair of excellent-level.
If it were just that, it would be fine. He always doesn't believe in evil and plays dungeons every day. His level is higher than that of most players. He can be in high-level dungeons for a long time with rags. He is definitely a legendary figure.
So after watching an inexplicable fortune-transfer ceremony in the corner of the park, Wang Zhifan and Lv77 Huang Neng officially teamed up to enter the dungeon.
【Dungeon objective: Learn the true name of any ancient god. 】
【Note 1: The ancient gods are a general term for the great beings in this dungeon world. They were born long ago and are incredibly powerful.

Your mental state is always more stable and exciting than others. Choosing this identity will not bring you special information channels, but when encountering certain changes, your ability to withstand will be significantly enhanced, which may save your life. ]
In a blink of an eye, Wang Zhifan and Huang Neng beside him appeared in the copy world.
He found himself standing on a street. The overall style of the street was modern. Pedestrians, rickshaw drivers, horse-drawn carriages and cars with strong exhaust gas were mixed together. Gentlemen wearing jackets, round hats and canes walked slowly. Newsboys with backpacks slung over their shoulders walked and sold black and white newspapers in their hands. Dirty beggars leaned on the lampposts on the side of the road, watching everything around them without any emotion.
"Only two of us? Where are the others?"
Without choosing an identity first, Wang Zhifan looked past Huang Neng, who was standing next to him with a dull look, and looked for traces of other dungeon players.
It's not like he hasn't encountered a dungeon where he was the only player, but this was the first time he couldn't find any traces of other players when he was in a team.
"Maybe other players are in other areas... Let's choose an identity first."
With ease, Wang Zhifan began to think about the best configuration for clearing this dungeon.
"The objective of the dungeon is to learn the real name of any ancient god. Judging from this requirement, it is an exploration type, so intelligence and clues are very important."
"Choosing the identities of doctor, history professor, archaeologist, church member, gravekeeper, homeless man, and private detective will increase the corresponding intelligence channels. The identity of psychic is more inclined to discover clues by oneself, and the identity of athlete increases survival ability."
"It seems that except for athlete and homeless man, both are suitable for me... So which one is the most suitable? Or put it aside and see what happens later? However, it may not be easy to collect intelligence when starting with a blank identity."
After thinking for two seconds, Wang Zhifan decided to leave the identity unselected, just like the previous saint dungeon. Anyway, the dungeon allows him to do so.
At this time, his teammate Huang Neng finally regained his consciousness, but his face turned pale after he woke up, and he exclaimed:
"Ancient, ancient god?!" (End of this chapter)
