Chapter 39: Concealed Cloak

Originally, the other protagonist who was the most excited about this matter… the Qiancheng Muxue guild also fell silent.

Even some… blushed.

After all, they were aiming for the Solidified Instance of Wutong Town, which is why they only then changed their minds to come to Wutong Town.

They also issued a statement, seeking to recruit that expert of the Solidified Instance.

Result…

Next, the second piece of key information.

Hidden Class, the knight profession template's… Lion Knight.

And it explained that the Lion Knight is set as a hexagonal warrior.

This made everyone fall silent.

Hidden Class!

Compared with regular classes, Hidden Classes are relatively much stronger.

The game "Heroes" also has Hidden Classes, but when players encounter them, it's basically in the later stage of the game.

Getting a Hidden Class advantage early in the game is, of course, self‑evident.

Moreover, the officials said the Lion Knight is a hexagonal warrior, which explains why that knight can both endure and strike quickly.

All I can say is, I'm jealous.

Hidden Class, plus epic gear…

At this stage, being this strong is understandable.

The voices questioning Su Sheng's cheating basically disappeared.

And beneath the post, besides Qiancheng Muxue,

other major guilds all extended olive branches to Su Sheng.

Of course, Su Sheng gave no reply.

An'an calmly slaughtered almost every Demon Energy fox nearby.

At Level 16, the experience granted by the Demon Energy foxes is still fairly substantial.

However, Su Sheng estimates that after reaching Level 17, the experience gained here will be relatively low.

It seems that tomorrow, after leveling up here, he'll have to move forward again.

During today's leveling, he occasionally private‑chatted with Huan Jie, but didn't find it boring at all.

As the game time neared its end, those Demon Energy foxes gave Su Sheng a little surprise.

He obtained a Level 20 green longsword.

Demon Fang Longsword (green)

Attack: 80

Additional effect: chance to poison

Level: 20

Description: omitted

For such a fairly ordinary green gear, Su Sheng completely disregards the 80 attack.

After all, he only has a little over 20 strength now; adding this 80 attack brings him to just over a hundred, which can't balance the defensive stats.

However, that poison chance is usable.

This gives Su Sheng an idea: it seems he doesn't have to look for defensive or constitution‑type weapons.

After all, a weapon that adds defense or constitution is not really its purpose; weapons mainly have attack‑oriented attributes.

So he should look for this kind of special‑effect weapon.

Looking at the Novice Wooden Sword in his hand, Su Sheng felt a bit emotional: "You finally see the hope of retirement; that wasn't easy."

As today's game time was about to end, Su Sheng also logged out.

…

"A Sheng, the uproar on the forum shouldn't affect you much, right?"

At the breakfast table, Su Ba and Su Wenhao, who frequently monitor the game forum, asked with some concern.

Mom also looked over with some worry; although she doesn't usually follow the forum, she learned of the stir from Dad.

The elderly couple subconsciously thought that Su Sheng was going after that Qiancheng Muxue to vent their anger.

"Don't worry, Dad, haven't you seen the latest official clarification?"

Su Sheng replied with a relaxed face: "Not only is there no downside, there are benefits too."

Su Sheng thought of the two draws tonight, hoping for a good prize.

"Mom, Dad, it's fine; the officials have already debunked it," Lin Huan also chimed in.

"That's good," Mom Huang Hui said, half‑understanding the matter.

Since his children both said it's fine, it must be fine.

Dad also nodded, but obviously not completely at ease; after a few bites, he said he was full, then ran to his computer to start tinkering.

After reading the latest official debunking, Dad finally smiled.

He especially noticed the discussion below the post.

Actually, he didn't really understand the details; he just knew one thing: his son is now strong.

…

Amid the anticipation of the draws, with discussions of "Zhu Lu" lingering in his ears, he ended a day's work.

In those college students' discussions, Su Sheng also heard himself.

After all, that post is now the top‑trending thread.

Time's up, log into the game!

Su Sheng's figure appeared in the area where the Demon Energy fox was.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the interface, Su Sheng saw the big lottery wheel.

Su Sheng, a bit excited, rubbed his hands and then opened the compass.

It was still that familiar big wheel, offering two lottery chances.

First, the first draw!

Spin it!

Su Sheng's gaze kept following the pointer, and without comment, directly gave the Divine Artifact.

We don't mind epic gear; with the Dragon Scale Shield, we can see that early epic equipment also provides a huge advantage.

But this time the luck was clearly poor.

Finally the pointer stopped on a blue area, and Su Sheng pouted in disappointment.

System Notification: Congratulations on obtaining blue-quality equipment: Cloak of Invisibility.

At first Su Sheng was still a bit disappointed, but the moment he saw the notification, Su Sheng perked up.

It turned out to be a cloak!

Among the many pieces of equipment, the hardest to get, without doubt, is the cloak!

It's even harder to obtain than accessory-type gear.

Back in the day among the heroes, Su Sheng was already a hundred-level, fifth‑transformation assassin, yet his cloak was still a level‑60 purple cloak.

Many players don't even have a cloak.

Su Sheng immediately checked the cloak's attributes.

Cloak of Invisibility (blue)

Magic Defense: 40

Bonus: Agility +20

Bonus Skill: Invisibility

Level: 15

Description: (omitted)

Invisibility: When not in Combat State, enters Invisibility state, duration unlimited, disappears upon entering Combat State.

While in Invisibility state, movement speed -50%.

Hmm?

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow, "Nice item."

Isn't this a weakened version of the assassin's Invisibility skill?

But the assassin's Invisibility reduces movement speed by 40%, and also has a Piercing Invisibility strike bonus.

Overall the Cloak of Invisibility can't match the assassin's Invisibility, but it lets other classes have Invisibility.

The level fit perfectly, and Su Sheng eagerly equipped it.

Although the cloak's color is gray‑black, not looking very fancy, Su Sheng isn't a looks‑obsessed person; as long as it works, it's fine.

Having the Lion Hunt's body grants 40 Magic Defense, which is a wasted stat for Su Sheng, but 20 Agility can boost his usual travel speed.

After all, I can't always activate Lion Hunt to speed up travel, can I.

The core is that this provides Invisibility.

Yesterday I was lamenting that the knight class lacks Invisibility, making some actions inconvenient.

Now it's basically like a sleepy person handing out pillows.

Then Su Sheng rubbed his hands again, becoming even more eager for the next lottery draw.
