"If the external characteristics are so obvious when the invisible skill is activated, I should probably use the invisibility ability of the Wind Concealing Conical Hat to use it in the future, trying my best not to let anyone discover the features of this powerful skill."
Thinking about his future usage strategy for the Invisible Deceitful Clothing, Wang Zhifan then took out another powerful new piece of equipment from his personal space, which is the excellent-grade Deceitful Shadow Shoes.
Compared to the Invisible Deceitful Clothing, which is formless and elusive in appearance, the Deceitful Shadow Shoes are much more concrete. It looks like a pair of black-and-white running shoes, with a simple and practical style that appears quite ordinary and not very eye-catching, but the effect it brings is incredibly powerful.
First is the 35% overall speed boost and the 10 agility attribute increase, which provide a considerable speed enhancement for the wearer.
Then there's the quite practical "Deceit" skill. When activated, the wearer can freely pass through obstacles, such as walls or into the ground, making it a perfect ability for ambush and escape. The deceit skill can be used for up to a quarter of an hour a day, which is much longer than the one-minute limit of the invisibility skill.
Lastly, there's the "Shadow" ability of these excellent-grade shoes. This ability has two aspects: first, allowing the wearer to merge into shadows and darkness at any time, similar yet probably more powerful than invisibility; second, when in the shadows and darkness, all speed is boosted by an additional 100%, and all damage is increased by 50%. The extent of these enhancements is self-explanatory.
Basically, with this equipment, Wang Zhifan's ambush capabilities are multiplied several times, and his escape methods are also significantly enhanced. The only pity is that he is not of the Assassin profession, or else he could utilize this equipment to a greater extent.
After pondering over the specific functions of these excellent-grade shoes, Wang Zhifan then removed his old equipment from his feet, which are the Fine Layer Spider Cloth Shoes, and put on the black-and-white Deceitful Shadow Running Shoes, which despite looking unimpressive, were very effective.
The Spider Cloth Shoes, a Fine Layer grade equipment, have been with him for quite some time. The attributes are quite decent, providing a 15% poison resistance and a 10% movement speed increase. However, compared to the excellent-grade Deceitful Shoes, they're instantly outclassed. Unable to wear two pairs of shoes, Wang Zhifan could only send them off into an honorable retirement.
After changing into the Deceitful Shoes, Wang Zhifan then began to test them in his bedroom. First, he activated the "Deceit" skill, experiencing the peculiar sensation of phasing through walls, and while inside the walls of his villa, he simultaneously felt the effect of the "Shadow" skill, noting his speed suddenly doubled. He could move extremely quickly within the dark, invisible confines of the walls in Deceit state, and his body control was more flexible than ever!
Of course, this high-speed movement inside walls is aided by his current ultra-high Spirit attribute providing exceptional perception support. Otherwise, entering a pitch-black wall in a Deceit state with nothing visible would mean he needed to occasionally exit the wall to confirm his position.
After enjoying the new abilities brought by the Deceitful Shadow Shoes extensively, Wang Zhifan took out the last item he acquired from the instance in his villa bedroom — the excellent-grade Deceit Realm Gate.
This thing is especially different from the other three pieces of equipment. It's not something that can be worn to provide combat bonuses but a life-assistance type of item.
When Wang Zhifan took it out from his personal space, he found it quite magical. It's a rectangular, ethereal-looking little door, seemingly a virtual product formed by interwoven light and shadow.
But upon completing the Spirit binding with it, he understood its function to be quite powerful, equivalent to a portal to a personal exclusive space, with astonishingly strong protection and storage capabilities.
"With this Deceit Realm Gate, I can transform a certain area into my exclusive space, and from anywhere in the world, I can summon it to enter this space. Others, without my permission, can hardly intrude... In that case, I might as well set this East City villa as my Deceit Realm..."
Upon consideration, Wang Zhifan felt this was a reasonable plan since he owned the 888-square-meter land of East City Bieyuan. He could do whatever he wanted, and even if he regretted it later, it wouldn't matter because the Deceit Realm Gate settings for Deceit Realm Space weren't one-time; he could transfer it elsewhere in the future.
With the decision made, Wang Zhifan, in his bedroom, activated the deceit skill of the Deceitful Shadow Shoes on his feet, swiftly phasing through the second-floor floorboards and several walls like a ghost, and arrived outside the villa mansion at the big iron gate.
He observed the outside of the gate for a while, waiting for the moment with no passersby or vehicles, and then placed the Deceit Realm Gate, already Spirit-bound to him, at the big iron gate's location.
Immediately, a wondrous thing occurred. The Deceit Realm Gate merged with the big iron gate, disappearing, while Wang Zhifan simultaneously sensed a special space invisible to others extending inside the big iron gate, and he could finely manipulate and adjust this space.
"For now, I will overlap this Deceit Realm Space with my villa premises and set it to a semi-closed mode. The outside world can see my villa, but only with my permission can one truly enter; otherwise, they will be trapped in the Deceit Realm Space, akin to being in the most enclosed prison."
After tinkering with the adjustments for a while, Wang Zhifan judged that this thing probably had more complex functions with more magical applications, but he didn't have the mind to research it at the moment. So, he specifically went outside the villa to attempt summoning the Deceit Realm Gate once, achieving an effect similar to teleporting back home, and then set it aside temporarily.
Having finished all this, Wang Zhifan finally took one last look at his personal panel to confirm the latest status.
