Chapter 279: The Undercover Agent

【Predatory Gaze (Raw Stone-Race Talent): When you quietly attend to your own affairs, you see far beyond what outsiders know.】

Raw Stone-Race talents are regarded as trash by most people.

They are often "Animal"-level talents, even viewed by many as products of incomplete evolution, possessing at most slightly more supernatural traits than the original animal abilities.

The most obvious examples are the Pig-Man Dimon's frantic eating to restore health and stamina, and the Bull-Man from the Project Team's multi-stomach food storage capacity. Many "nobles" even ignore these low-tier race talents, viewing them as a humiliation of incomplete evolution, and never use them in their entire lives.

But in reality, since they have been passed down through bloodlines all the way, becoming winning genes in the struggle for survival, it is naturally because they are simple, crude, and effective.

Low-level race talents do not mean they are bad; they may even hide absolute racial advantages, possessing special possibilities that other species could never have.

"My 'Predatory Gaze' allows me to see in all directions; in fact, except for a small patch on my back, I can observe every direction, and it has even evolved once."

Few people know that cows, as herbivores, actually possess a quite useful talent: even when they lower their heads to graze, the special structure of their eyes allows them to see nearly 330% of the entire field of view.

Cows have very poor eyesight, especially their stereoscopic vision is surprisingly bad, sometimes making them appear quite dull.

But in most cases, surprise attacks or sneak approaches can be detected by them; it is also because of these special eyes that they have almost no blind spots in their vision.

"Li En's Black Hawk" looked at the Ugu before him, lost in thought.

The young slave before him had an age that was hard to discern because his beastification was quite obvious; that head clearly had a Bull-Man feel, and this seemingly was also the prerequisite for awakening the "Panoramic Vision" talent.

And the evolution he spoke of was truly impressive.

【No Whole Cow (Brass-Race Talent): You see not only far, but also in detail, even seeing through to the essence. You can instinctively perceive the bloodlines, weaknesses, and even the flow of qi of living beings.】

"This thing is not just a panoramic camera; it is also a video recorder, and even has zoom and mild x-ray functions." Li En was also somewhat surprised that such a useful talent ability had such a low rank.

This might be the advantage of "Atavists."

The old cow, seemingly forever calm and composed, is actually because it knows danger is far from it; if an attack truly comes, it runs faster than anyone else.

Ugu always appears cold and calm because, as an honest and simple-minded Bull-Man, he actually has quite good eyes, always able to see everything around him.

"Archmage Zhu Lian, he is actually quite addicted to gambling."

In the past, this was not a big problem; even in the mage circle, it was a topic of amusement.

Archmages and great figures with small quirks actually seem more human.

"But every time, the bets he placed were not large, and I could tell that even when the gambling was at its most intense, he remained completely ordinary; his skin showed no change in color, and his micro-expressions even seemed a bit bored."

As a champion gladiator, Ugu participated in many gladiatorial matches, and every time, while the audience watched him, he, possessing panoramic vision, also watched the audience.

And when all the gamblers fell into a state of frenzy and mad excitement, Archmage Zhu Lian's calmness naturally became the focus of his observation.

"But he always communicated with strange gamblers, exchanging betting slips or something with the other party almost every time; half of them were for a very tall Dog-Man, who was genuinely devoted to the gladiatorial matches and gambling."
