After choosing his rewards, Wang Zhifan opened the chest in front of him, took out the three prizes, and put them into his personal space, then immediately left the instance and returned to the real world.
As soon as he returned to his hotel room in Jinlin City in the real world, he habitually checked his phone for the date and time, confirming that the few hours he spent in the instance was condensed significantly, with only a few minutes passing in the real world. He quickly walked over to a large wardrobe in the hotel room and looked in the mirror.
Wang Zhifan started looking in the mirror not out of vanity, but to test the Mad Tree-man Mask he had just obtained.
This mask was the only one among the three awards that had practical use for him. Although it couldn't increase combat power, the auxiliary disguise effect seemed quite good according to its description.
Soon, standing in front of the wardrobe mirror, a dark brown wooden carved mask appeared in Wang Zhifan's hand. The mask was shaped with the image of a person's face, twisted with fanaticism, appearing rough yet carrying an air of eeriness. Wang Zhifan didn't care whether it looked good or not; he directly placed it over his face.
When the mask was first worn, he didn't feel anything significant, but within seconds, he sensed a strange and mysterious connection being formed between him and the mask, as if it had come alive, summoning him, desiring to communicate and connect with him.
Wang Zhifan quickly realized that the mask was prompting him to set a disguised appearance. He contemplated for a moment and constructed a mental image of an ordinary young man, half a head shorter and somewhat frail.
As expected, once his thoughts settled, the mask on his face, through some mysterious link, asked him if he wished to proceed with the disguise. Wang Zhifan immediately agreed. Subsequently, without feeling anything in particular, he saw through the eyeholes of the mask that his reflection in the wardrobe mirror had utterly changed, transforming into the person he had just envisioned and decided to disguise as!
"My appearance changed in almost the blink of an eye, yet I feel completely normal... This suggests the mask's transformation is indeed a sophisticated disguise; I haven't actually changed at all, yet it manages to deceive external vision and senses... Hey! Hey! Hello!"
These thoughts flashed through Wang Zhifan's mind, followed by him speaking aloud to test if his voice had changed. Originally, he didn't expect any difference, just casually experimenting, but he immediately discovered that his voice was distinctly different from his usual and was almost unrecognizable!
"Whoa! This mask is incredible! Its disguise extends beyond just visuals; it alters voice and other aspects too! This thing is practically a divine artifact, and if it had no negative effects, it would surely be above rare level! No, for me, it essentially has no negative effects!"
After a simple experiment revealed how powerful the camouflage ability of the newly acquired Mad Tree-man Mask was, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but marvel at how perfectly suited it was for him. The mask's accompanying mental influence's adverse effects varied according to the wearer's mental attribute. For someone like Wang Zhifan, with a mental attribute of 36 points, he could completely ignore its negative effects, maximizing this rare level equipment's utility!
"Great, with this mask, some of my plans can be conveniently carried out. Although this instance was somewhat frustrating, it wasn't without merit."
Having finished the test, Wang Zhifan removed the mask from his face, placing it back into his personal space. The moment he removed the mask, his reflection in the wardrobe mirror changed from the ordinary young man back to his original tall and handsome self.
Subsequently, he also took out and inspected the other two items he acquired, specifically the Forest Love Priest Profession Ring and the Giant Tree-man Seed, neither of which were very useful to him.
The effect of the Forest Love Ring can only be triggered by players of the Priest profession, so wearing it was equivalent to not wearing it.
He could plant the Giant Tree-man Seed and then patiently wait for it to grow into a Giant Tree-man summon, but such an endeavor would be a wasteful effort for him. In fact, items like these are exclusive to summoning professions. Only players with abilities like growth time reduction, growth speed boost, and Summoning Space can quickly convert it into combat support, unlike him, who would have to wait a year if he were to do it himself. The existence of summons would lose practical meaning if each takes so long to cultivate.
"Summoning profession players seem to appear frequently on the forum, and they have a good reputation. The Giant Tree-man Seed should fetch a good price; otherwise, I wouldn't have given up on the Forest Grudge Ring specifically to choose it... The Forest Love Priest Ring, on the other hand, might be difficult to sell; the Priest profession is almost a hidden profession on the forum, and almost never seen in instances, making sellers hard to find."
Unlike in reality, where healer professions are quite popular in games, in this extraordinary game where each player only has one life, everyone hopes their instance team has a Priest, but no one wants to be that Priest. This results in the quantity of Priest profession players being extremely limited, even rarer than Wang Zhifan's weakling Warrior profession.
This is because Priest professions are too reliant on teammates, almost only able to provide support without the capability to independently battle bosses. If teammates are competent, everyone can coordinate and clear instances gracefully. But if a teammate underperforms, tragedy is almost certain.
Once a team is defeated, Priest players barely have the ability to finish off the boss and are left facing slow defeat. Hence, aside from professional teams with fixed strong teammates, few players choose this class. Most prefer combat professions with the ability to clear instances independently, such as the Gunner profession, which is widely popular for its relatively safe ranged attacks and stable damage output. It's not just a trend or hype; it is genuinely powerful.
"I planned to sell the equipment later, but with this mask, the selling plan can be moved up. As long as I'm prepared with multiple identities and accounts, it shouldn't be much of an issue."
In the hotel, having finished examining his three new acquisitions, Wang Zhifan began to contemplate the latest Fu plan. The one or two million he had made so far could not satisfy him. For both personal development and a comfortable life, he needed to keep selling equipment to turn it into cash.
