My stats are higher than yours!!

The theater stage was old, with scratches and paint marks left by performances on the wooden planks.

The man began to perform.

He danced alone in an empty theater, his movements graceful and fluid.

There was no applause or cheers from the audience. He performed alone on stage, one mask after another covering his face, and his expression changed accordingly, as if he had become one new version of himself after another, and his demeanor and movements became more and more elegant and composed.

"interesting!"

"Wonderful!"

"Again! Again!"

Suddenly, cheers and applause erupted in the deserted theater. The once empty theater was now filled with shadows of people, but they were just shadows; they had no real bodies, yet they cheered and danced in the audience.

The man on the stage also smiled. His makeup had changed, as if he had been wearing countless masks that covered his original appearance.

Cheap paint becomes elegant, forced smiles become sincere, and everything is getting better.

but....

His fingers were trembling, his body was shaking, and his movements were no longer standard, as if they were carved from a template, only able to act in prescribed ways. Yet he did not want to be controlled, making his original movements appear distorted and bizarre.

Time passed little by little.

His performance in the theater became more and more skillful, but he also became unlike himself. Confined to a fixed path, he gradually forgot his original self. No matter how hard he tried, he could not remember what he used to be.

The man tried to remove the mask, but it seemed to be etched into his flesh. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it off. He dug with his fingernails, scratching his face until it bled, but the mask remained unmoved.

He screamed, he shouted, he screamed until he was hoarse.

However...

Those spectators simply cheered, while countless shadowy figures continued to applaud.

"Great performance!"

"So lovely!"

"This is amazing!"

The man began to cry, but the mask continued to smile, dancing with his body.

His body began to deform, his consciousness began to twist, his emotions, his memories, and his self gradually disappeared. All of him was absorbed into the mask, and in the end, only a hysterical smile and madness remained.

...

As the illusion ended, Bai Shuodong's consciousness returned to the spirit world. Looking at the thousand smiling faces in his hand, he murmured to himself, "This illusion shouldn't be called an illusion; it should be called insight into the origin."

“After I assign a disassembly mark to a piece of equipment, I can see its core, its birth process, and its fundamental source through the mark. This should be called tracing the origin.”

Let's see what skill it has!

Bai Shuodong's heart raced, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

One person, a thousand faces

Skill Quality: ★★★★★

Skill Level: 10

Source of the skill: Thousand Faces of Smiles

Skill effects

① A Thousand Faces: You can freely change your appearance, body shape, and aura to enter the [Disguise] state. This skill can also directly rewrite the information on the spirit world's introduction panel, making it impossible for enemies to see through your true attributes.

Supplement 1: You can directly rewrite your own information as a native of the spirit world.

Supplement 2: The power level after being rewritten as a native of the spirit world follows the power system of native spirits.

Supplement 3: The revised attribute cap and aura strength will increase as your strength increases.

② Difficult to distinguish between real and fake: After entering the [Disguise] state, your energy system will be transformed into the disguise target's energy system, but the energy consumption rate will double. You can directly use all the [Disguise] target's skills, but the skill consumption will double.

Supplement 1: The doubling of energy system consumption and the doubling of skill consumption can be stacked. When using energy from a non-own energy system, or when using the [Disguise] target skill, energy consumption is quadrupled.

Supplement 2: If the [Disguise] target is a custom target, then you can choose 3 skills to generate.

Supplement 3: Passive skills cannot be generated, skill level is always fixed at the current skill level, and the highest skill quality cannot exceed 3 stars.

Skill Cooldown: None

"..."

Bai Shuodong was silent for a moment, then shouted without hesitation: "Decompose!"

The mask suddenly came to life as white light emanated from within, and the expressions on its face changed rapidly.

It seemed to be crying, or perhaps regretting it. Its equipment requirements were reduced to zero, and its skill effects were altered accordingly. The previously uncontrollable, deadly smile suddenly became controllable.

This equipment is intentional!

It is not an inanimate object!

If Bai Shuodong chooses to give up disassembling, he can now obtain a top-tier piece of equipment that he can use immediately, and all side effects will be removed.

but...

That's the mindset of a loser!

I hate apologizing afterwards!

What did we do in the first place? Why did we set such high equipment requirements in the first place? Why were we made so uncontrollable? Loyalty is absolute, and there was no remorse whatsoever for those who are truly unfaithful!

All I'm missing is a face accessory? It's just a special accessory that adds 30 to my attributes, right? It's just a top-tier, overlord-level piece of equipment, right?

It's alright!

I don't care at all!

Bai Shuodong clenched his fists tightly.

In fact, decomposition is irreversible; once you choose decomposition equipment, it's unstoppable.

So he doesn't feel sorry for him.

Although this thousand-faced smiling face is intelligent, it is not very adaptable. Even after he applied the decomposition mark, the panel did not change. It was obviously not going to be coerced and might as well just decompose it.

It's all its fault!

"Snapped!"

The thousand-faced smile shattered.

[Hint: Decomposition complete. Congratulations on obtaining the skill - One Person, One Thousand Faces]

Having acquired the skill, Bai Shuodong instantly felt as if he had gained a special ability. He could freely change his appearance and aura with his mind, and could also acquire corresponding skills based on the changed target, up to three of which he could use.

pity...

You can't acquire passive skills, otherwise the combined value of three three-star passive skills would definitely be quite good.

Even so, this five-star skill is quite powerful, with three selectable three-star skills, unconditional transformation at any time, and the selectable skills can be freely switched. It just consumes a bit more resources, but overall it is still quite good.

What kind of trash is "A Thousand Smiling Faces"?

You dare compare yourself to my permanent skills?

In the spirit world, skill levels have a clear upper limit; the highest level cannot exceed level 2 of the spirit world level.

The power of [Slash] is ridiculously strong, mainly because it is a disintegration skill and is not limited by the level of the spirit realm. Therefore, Bai Shuodong started at level 10 from the beginning. Normally, a level 1 spirit energy user's theoretical skill cap is level 3. He used a level 10 skill, so how could the skill multiplier and effect not be strong?

The same applies to the "One Person, One Thousand Faces" skill. This decomposition skill starts at level 10, far exceeding Bai Shuodong's normal skill level. The resulting three-star active skill is also level 10.

This skill is terrifyingly powerful!

"Let's try out the transformation effect first."

With a thought, Bai Shuodong's body shape rapidly changed in a short time. In just 3 seconds, he successfully transformed back into the Clown King.

His expression changed accordingly.

The transformation speed is not slow; when no one is paying attention, 3 seconds is quite fast.

However, if used in battle, the 3-second transformation time becomes a bit troublesome, as switching skills during battle is inconvenient unless someone buys him time.

but...

So what if it's troublesome?

Bai Shuodong obtained three level 10, three-star active skills! The multiplier is incredibly high! No wonder it's a skill transformed from the Thousand Faces of Smile!

Chapter 118 Enhancement! Top-Grade Heavy Gun!!

After experiencing the ability to transform into a thousand different people for a while, Bai Shuodong suddenly had a question in his mind and asked the spirit world directly.

"That's not right!"

"I remember that normally, killing a Dominator-level unit should drop a Dominator-level chest, right? Why is mine a Special Chest?"

Bai Shuodong asked in confusion.

[Answer: Given that your normal level and strength are far weaker than the Clown King, the value of the treasure chest has been exceptionally increased, changing it from a Overlord-level treasure chest to a Special treasure chest. This Special treasure chest has a 100% drop rate for Overlord-level equipment.]

"Great! You've made good changes!"

Bai Shuodong's eyes lit up instantly.

I thought it was some random item, but it turned out to be a treasure chest with a 100% drop rate for top-tier equipment!

Among all types of treasure chests, special treasure chests are unique. They don't have a specific drop range; what they drop depends on how special they are and what makes them special.

The chance of obtaining a top-tier treasure chest is extremely high, but even a top-tier chest doesn't guarantee a top-tier item. It might drop items like psionic points, attribute-boosting potions, or rare or unique gold-tier equipment.

While these items are not insignificant in value, they are far inferior to top-tier equipment and are simply incomparable.

so...

This special treasure chest is definitely more valuable than the Overlord-level treasure chest.

"Whew, that feels great!"

Bai Shuodong smiled and then opened the equipment enhancement panel.

The Blood Demon Armor has extremely high base strength. Even enhanced equipment of the same level cannot compare to it. A Silver-grade +6 Spirit Ring can only add 14 attribute points, while the Silver-grade Blood Demon Armor can directly add 18 attribute points.

Keep in mind, this is armor comparing its stat bonuses to accessories! Armor's primary function is to provide defense, not to increase stat values!

If this were enhanced a couple more times...

The Blood Demon Armor's value must be off the charts!

Enhance!

[Note: Blood Demon Armor has been detected as a 'special life form that can be used as equipment,' but it is not equipment in nature and cannot be enhanced.]

whispering sound!

Bai Shuodong looked disappointed.

If this could be enhanced, the Blood Demon Armor's strength would be off the charts.

However, if the Blood Demon Armor is indeed a piece of equipment, it wouldn't be able to give Bai Shuodong so many attribute bonuses, and its defense would be more conservative.

"Well...."

Bai Shuodong looked at the Blood Demon Armor, but his expression was not sad.

He muttered to himself, "This feeling is a little strange. I admit I was quite annoyed when I first saw that it couldn't be strengthened."

"But the thought of not having to enhance it in the future, which would save a lot of psionic points, makes me feel less disappointed and more relieved. Although the Blood Demon Armor cannot be enhanced, its stats seem to be higher than those enhanced equipment, which is quite an advantage."

"It saves money and is powerful. I think that's a pretty good advantage. The Blood Demon Armor is a great piece of equipment."

Bai Shuodong nodded deeply again, then turned to look at his remaining psionic points.

Psionic Points: 95718

There are still over 9 psionic points.

Buy two free attribute points -200.

Buy skill books - 5000.

Buy Power Water - 10000.
