NOVEL NEXT Chapter 197: Divine Stealth Box! (Three in One)_1
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: You have successfully opened the Above SSS-level Gift Pack. Congratulations on acquiring the bound item "Divine Stealth Box - origin-grade"!]
Divine Stealth Box, sounds like it's for invisibility...
Chen Mo immediately checked the Item Effects.
[Divine Stealth Box - origin-grade]
[Passive Effect]: When carried, if you are in invisible mode, you will not take any damage. (Activates even when in the backpack)
[Active Effect]: Upon activation, all friendly units within a range of 'Level × star level × 100 meters' enter the divine stealth state!
During the divine stealth state, units have no collision volume. Unless they actively reveal themselves, they will remain hidden regardless of their actions. Furthermore, all divine stealth units cannot be detected or have their stealth broken by any entities with Divine Power lower than yours.
No cost, no Cooldown, permanent duration. (Activates even when in the backpack)
[Item Introduction]: A trick toy made by the God of Pranks. It's said he often used this to sneak into goddesses' bathing places!
What a perverted item! Permanent Invisibility? I won't be visible unless I choose to be. As long as others have lower Divine Power than me, they can't detect or break my stealth. Doesn't that mean if I activate this ability, no one below the fifth-transition can find me?
After reading the item's effects, Chen Mo was quite excited.
The highest advancement among the Aliens on Earth was merely the fourth-transition. With this item, he could essentially ignore all Aliens.
Of course, this presumed there were no outliers among the Aliens who, like him, had acquired Divine Power so early.
I currently have 10 points of Divine Power. I'm Level 20, and once I complete the Realm Breakthrough Assessment, there's also a Legendary Trial to claim. Completing that will grant me another 10 points of Divine Power. Even if there was an exceptional fourth-transition individual, they likely couldn't amass this much Divine Power. With this item in hand, it's equivalent to being invincible below the fourth-transition!
Acquiring this item reminded Chen Mo of an invisibility Skill he had within his skeleton-summoning abilities.
Now that he possessed an Above SSS-level invisibility ability, that subpar one was entirely unnecessary.
Special effects obtained from previous syntheses could now be replaced using the "Effect Replacement Function of Synthesis."
Each target could have this done up to ten times.
Since the old invisibility effect was now useless, it was best to immediately replace it with a more beneficial one.
Chen Mo had actually unlocked this special effect replacement function when his Synthesis Level was only 3, but he hadn't used it until now.
This was his first time attempting it.
As Chen Mo chose to enable the function, The Heavenly Path's Hint also popped up promptly.
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: You are using the special effect replacement function. You are planning to replace a special effect contained in a red-quality Skill. The base price for this special effect replacement is 1 Gold Coin. However, due to your current Synthesis Level, you qualify for a 50% discount, making the actual price 50 silver coins.]
That's quite expensive. It seems the higher the rank of the item or skill, the more costly it will be to modify it later.
Chen Mo was already wealthy. 50 silver coins, a price tag of fifty million, was of no concern to him, so he directly chose to replace it.
Instantly, The Heavenly Path's Hint appeared again, presenting five new effects to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo examined them one by one and found a promising attribute.
[Rally]: When the number of companions reaches a power of 100 (e.g., 100^X), attack power and attack speed increase by X times.
This meant that with 100 companions (100 to the first power), attack power and attack speed would be increased by 1 time, becoming 200% of the original.
With 10,000 companions (100 to the second power), attack power and attack speed would be increased by 2 times, becoming 300% of the original.
With 1,000,000 companions (100 to the third power), attack power and attack speed would be increased by 3 times, becoming 400% of the original.
This boosted both attack speed and attack power, making the enhancement quite significant.
Chen Mo estimated he would soon be able to summon a million Skeleton Monsters, making a three-fold enhancement easily achievable.
The other four effects were rather mediocre, so Chen Mo dismissed them and selected Rally.
Just as Chen Mo finalized these changes, The Heavenly Path's Hint sounded once more.
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: All competition zones in this Survival Game event have concluded. Calculating your betting earnings for this event...]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: In this event, you bet 20 eternal gold coins on the Solar System participants in the second-transition competition zone. Your chosen target ranked first in kill count, and with no other professionals surviving in the same competition zone, congratulations! You have earned ten times your bet.]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: You have received 200 eternal gold coins!]
Chen Mo, who had just spent nearly all his funds, suddenly found his wealth increased by 220 eternal gold coins. Twenty of these were his original stake returned.
His total holdings of eternal gold coins now amounted to 228, a rather substantial sum.
He wasn't the only one who profited this round.
Many people on Earth who had bet on him also reaped considerable rewards.
Initially, they had bet merely to support one of their own.
Who would have thought they would receive ten times their wager back?
It was a truly delightful surprise.
Now that he had money, Chen Mo planned to purchase some new skills tomorrow.
He had yet to learn the Level 15 and Level 20 skills for the Skeleton Mage.
The Skeleton Mage's Level 15 Skill was [Shadow Healing Wave - blue quality], currently of a Lower Grade tier.
When cast, it could inflict damage or provide healing: dealing damage to non-allies and healing allies.
