Why didn’t Level 3 Deception work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-clad girl’s lazy expression vanished; her face grew anxious. The hamster was her symbiotic partner, granting three passive abilities—extremely valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leaf, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Knight Armor Queen looked at the green-clad girl—Leaf—confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“‘Crack-Crack’ was spotted by that man—he’s running for his life. Queen, hurry and save Crack-Crack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen couldn’t believe it; the hamster was their most vital intelligence source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen rushed out, her armor clinking sharply with every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao chased the hamster; two hundred meters ahead lay a sewer entrance—if it reached it, his chance of catching it would vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhanlong Flash appeared in his hand; Su Xiao spun it twice, adjusted his grip, then hurled it with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ping.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhanlong Flash pierced the hamster’s body cleanly, its blade sinking deep into the ground while the hilt remained perfectly still—proof of its extraordinary sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stepped forward, pulled out Zhanlong Flash, then crushed the hamster underfoot into pulp; the feeling of being watched vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d sensed the surveillance because his Intelligence was 12 points—Intelligence enhanced perception—but also because he trained in sword arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hamster wasn’t easy to spot; Level 3 Deception was sufficient to fool human vision—otherwise, the green-clad girl wouldn’t have let it appear so openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hundred meters away, the Queen hadn’t even stepped outside when she heard a piercing scream behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack-Crack~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-clad girl collapsed in grief, tears streaming down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drip… drip…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped from her nose; she slumped to the ground, as if drained of all strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leaf! Leaf, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen lifted her up, face tense—clearly, their bond was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack-Crack is dead—someone stomped him to death. I saw it through shared vision… waaah~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaf broke into uncontrollable sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen’s face darkened; Crack-Crack’s death was a major blow to their three-member team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack-Crack had Level 3 Deception—how could he be spotted? Even I sometimes unconsciously ignore that little thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, even the Queen was puzzled—none of them had anticipated this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaf’s tearful voice came again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Higher Intelligence improves perception—but even with 12 Intelligence, his perception shouldn’t be this sharp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, 12 Intelligence wouldn’t grant Su Xiao such acute perception—but his sword training had enhanced it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meditation technique Master Geng Siliang taught him also boosted perception; meditation had become Su Xiao’s habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t let this go. I’ll kill that bastard—right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaf stood up and stormed out, burning with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to go die, don’t drag me and Black-White with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold voice rang out; Leaf shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Queen was usually easygoing, when she grew serious, Leaf couldn’t help but fear her—she was, after all, their captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Leaf’s adventuring team, defying the captain carried severe consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calm down. We strike tonight. Black-White is already scouting high ground—warn her to be careful. If Crack-Crack was spotted, Black-White won’t escape that man’s perception.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen pulled out an earpiece, tapped it lightly, and contacted Black-White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the alley, Su Xiao stood motionless, Zhanlong Flash gripped tightly in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d nearly missed the enemy’s surveillance—luckily, he caught it in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a lesson: in the ghoul world, he’d sailed smoothly, and had grown careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was now alert—he could not relax for a single moment in any derivative world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hamster, now reduced to pulp, was no ordinary animal. Every time it offered him food, his hostility vanished, and he unconsciously ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reminded him of skills within the Circle of Reincarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d encountered one in the real world once—and escaped only through his sharp perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao paused, then asked the Circle of Reincarnation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Circle, is there a way to probe enemy data?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【1. Detection equipment. 2. Apostle-type summons. 3. Reconnaissance skills… Permission insufficient. Cannot view below content.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Circle’s reply satisfied Su Xiao; he resolved to obtain one of these three after this derivative world ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles without danger”—this saying held truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At minimum, he needed to understand enemy attributes; their values could roughly indicate strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Xiao prepared to leave the alley, the Circle of Reincarnation suddenly flashed a new prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Detected Hunter Level: Lv.2, one level below current derivative world. Temporary Skill activated.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Temporary Skill: Basic Detection. Cost: 800 Circle Coins. Yes\u002FNo?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: Temporary Skill disappears upon leaving this world.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing “Basic Detection,” Su Xiao rejoiced—but upon seeing the cost, he cursed inwardly: damn expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Circle of Reincarnation clearly exploited his desperation, he truly needed this ability now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao knew clearly: the hamster he crushed was tied to an enemy Contractee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger in derivative worlds came not only from missions or NPCs—but also from other Contractees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh~. The little mouse is dead. Its master won’t be far behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao felt a flicker of anticipation—he’d never fought another Contractee before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: (New book period—please vote for recommendations~!
