It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 537 Suitable for Survival

After hearing this, Feng Ling frowned and asked Li Qing, "Is what she said true?"

Li Qing replied sheepishly, "I can only see the card's characteristics; I don't know the specific way the skills are displayed."

Meteor said, "Because the skills of cards can change depending on whether they are in different decks, the administrator cannot retrieve skill information."

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes slightly and examined the shooting star in front of her again.

She felt very uncomfortable. The other person looked exactly like Huangfu Miaomiao, even had the same voice, but the tone of voice, expression, and all the tiny movements of the body belonged to another person.

"You know quite a lot," Feng Ling said casually.

Meteor calmly replied, "He may be a first-time administrator, but this isn't my first time playing a game."

"Are all the players in the Star Guild like you?" Feng Ling asked.

Meteor paused for a moment, then said, "If you're referring to the eight founding members of the Star Club, they are indeed all experienced veterans."

"There will only be eight players in the Stars?" Feng Ling was somewhat surprised.

“Yes,” Meteor said. “Initially, it was just a small player team. Later, due to the need for expansion, we started recruiting from among the players. When recruiting, we needed to name the organization. I named the organization the Star Society. The second batch of members who joined the Star Society were called Starlight. After that, there were a third and a fourth batch. These members did not have fixed titles. I don’t know how many people we recruited in total.”

Ye Zheng couldn't help but ask her, "Why did you choose such a name? Is there any deeper meaning behind it?"

Meteor looked at her and said, "There's no particular deep meaning. Players are like ants living in the darkness. I thought this name would be easier to unite them."

"She answers every question; it seems she's quite sincere about cooperating." Feng Ling asked Ye Zheng, "Should we give it a try?"

Ye Zheng pursed his lips and remained silent. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "Let's try to see if her blessing skill works."

Meteor said, "You need to close your eyes or turn around. The stealth effect can only be activated in an environment where all sight is blocked."

Ye Zheng frowned immediately, but in order to test the skill's effect, she still turned around.

Li Qing also turned around.

Feng Ling asked Meteor curiously, "But weren't you watching me the whole time? And these pollutants I'm raising are watching me too. Does that mean I'm blocked from all sight?"

“I am a sharer of skills, so your stealth has no effect on me. As for the Mother Nest Creatures, they have a close connection with you, so the stealth effect is probably ineffective on them as well.” Meteor took a few steps closer and raised his hand, hovering it in front of Wind Feather. “If all goes well, the stealth effect can last for 30 minutes.”

Feng Ling felt a slight fluctuation in the air around her body, almost imperceptible.

She looked around but didn't notice anything different. She looked down to check herself and found that she had all her limbs and hadn't disappeared like the invisible people in the movies.

Is that considered hiding it?
"Alright, you can turn around now," Meteor said.

Li Qing and Ye Zheng turned back, both looking surprised.

Feng Ling, who had been standing next to him just seconds ago, had actually disappeared!

“Gone…” Ye Zheng murmured in shock.

"Is it really that amazing?!" Feng Ling exclaimed. As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Zheng suddenly realized there was a living person standing next to him, and he was so startled that he took several steps back!

Li Qing was also startled, not because Feng Ling was scary, but because her appearance was too sudden!

Seeing the reactions of the two people, Feng Ling knew that her attempt to conceal herself had failed.

"...Can't I speak?" She turned to look at the shooting star.

"What's going on? Will making a sound cause the concealment to fail?" Li Qing asked in surprise.

Meteor explained: "Strictly speaking, it means you can't do things that violate cognition, and making a sound is just one aspect of it. The principle of concealment is to deceive the brain. For example, when our eyes see a cat, our brain tells us that it is a cat, and we know that it is a cat. But when the concealment effect is activated, the brain tells us that there is only air here, and we are unaware of the cat's existence. Even if our eyes have seen the cat, it is as if we haven't seen it."

Ye Zheng suddenly realized, "But if the cat suddenly meows at this moment, how can there be a meow in the air? This phenomenon violates our cognition, and the brain will readjust its cognitive function, ultimately leading to the failure of concealment."

Meteor nodded. "Yes."

Feng Ling sighed upon hearing this: "I've had similar experiences several times. For example, I want to find the remote control. I clearly remember that the remote control is on the table, but I can't find it no matter what I do. Then, after wandering around the room, I find that the remote control is indeed on the table."

Ye Zheng pondered for a moment, "If speaking will break the concealment effect, does that mean attacking won't work either?"

“Yes.” Meteor nodded again. “Once the attack is launched, the concealment effect will disappear.”

Ye Zheng looked at Feng Ling and discussed with her: "It seems that the concealment effect can only help us avoid being discovered on the way to the General's Mansion. Other than that, it doesn't offer much advantage."

“Every card and every skill has its limitations,” Meteor said calmly. “The game mechanics do not allow for invincibility.”

"This skill is usable now," Feng Ling asked Liu Xing. "Can it be used again?"

“Skill cooldown time: 60 seconds,” Meteor replied.

"You can hide for 30 minutes at a time, and only need to wait 1 minute in between to hide again. This skill is perfect for surviving. You can survive until the end of time." Feng Ling smiled. "Your card is also immune to mental power, right? Tsk, no matter who it is, it probably won't be easy for them to kill you."

The meteor remained silent.

Gargoyles can indeed be immune to mental energy, but the immunity skill needs to be actively activated for it to work. Furthermore, if the cardholder has a mental energy field, they cannot be immune to mental energy at the same time when launching a mental energy attack.

Therefore, when she attempted to assassinate the messenger, she misjudged the situation and was completely suppressed by the messenger's mental power.

— Unlike her, the Gargoyle is the main card of the White Cat. Immunity to mental energy is equivalent to a passive skill that can take effect without being deliberately activated.

“Never mind…” Feng Ling walked to the dead tiger and slowly squatted down. “I’d better hatch the big earthworm first, so that the flesh and blood don’t get stale.”

She reached out and gently placed her hand on the tiger's head, feeling the lingering warmth of the corpse.

The gene egg on the wrist enters the still-active body, and new life begins to sprout and grow, extending from head to tail, with every cell undergoing dramatic changes.

A long, bloody, strip-shaped creature tore open the tiger's skin and struggled free!
It has a huge head that looks like a tiger, a body that can stretch like a caterpillar, tiger stripes all over its body, and a pair of short but powerful forelegs that are somewhat similar to the claws of a phoenix.

Feng Ling rubbed its head, turned to look at the people behind her, and said with a smile, "Let's give it a name."
