From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 36 Times have changed, but the power of money remains strong

When Lu Heng saw the hidden task appear, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Because this task is exactly the starting task of the hidden profession in memory.

However, no one had ever obtained this hidden profession in the previous life.

This hidden profession was discovered by a psychic with the second-level job, [Abyss Hunter], half a year after the advent of the abyss.

This second-level Abyss Hunter completed this hidden mission, but ultimately chose to give up.

After all, being downgraded from the second job level to the first job level means a significant drop in combat power.

This second-level Abyss Hunter felt it was a pity and announced the process of obtaining this hidden profession.

Many people tried afterwards, but because the furnace cover had been found, the task could not be triggered.

In fact.

Before this second-level Abyss Hunter completed the task, someone else had triggered this task but all failed.

Because this task is too difficult, a first-level hidden profession initial task requires a second-level professional to be able to complete, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

Lu Heng's initial talent is [Agile as a Dragon], plus [Shadow Clone] and [Swift Step·Thrust]. These three abilities together are almost perfect with the characteristics of this hidden profession.

Therefore, Lu Heng wanted to strive for this hidden profession.

The only problem is that this hidden profession is extremely difficult to obtain, especially the requirements for physical skills, mobility, and perception are surprisingly high.

Because the target called "Abyss Fire Thief" is an abyss thief who is good at concealing, hiding and escaping.

There is only one chance to catch him. If you fail, there will be no second chance.

Therefore, if you want to complete this hidden career task, you must be adequately prepared.

Lu Heng recalled some details of the hidden mission and discussed with Guru: "The Abyss Fire Thief can steal things from the Quenching Castle, which must be very tricky."

Guru agreed very much and nodded frequently: "This damn thief is too cunning. If it was anyone else, I don't think we could catch him, but I have confidence in you."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "I'm happy to help. Judging from his name, this thief should be good at hiding. I'm worried that I won't be able to find him."

Guru agreed: "I am also worried about this matter, so I plan to let the Flame Tail Civet Cat take you to find it. My kitten can smell the scent of the stove cover, but the scent is getting weaker and weaker. We must act quickly."

Lu Heng agreed: "The target is too cunning, I need to go back and make some preparations, and come back when I'm ready."

Gulu nodded in agreement: "Go quickly, I'll leave my stove lid in your hands."

After the discussion, Lu Heng said goodbye to Su Muyu and returned to the hotel.

Since this task was triggered by two people together, Su Muyu also had a task.

After returning to the hotel, she carefully read the mission twice and asked, "What preparations do we have to make?"

"Your perception is enough to handle this task. I need to make more preparations. If I want to catch the Abyss Fire Thief, I need to have at least subtle body movements, so I have to find a place to concentrate on training for a few days." Lu Heng began to think about the next training plan in his mind.

To complete the mission of this hidden profession, you must first meet several prerequisites.

First, one needs to have the ability to detect invisibility, otherwise the Abyss Fire Thief will not be found. Su Muyu's perception ability is very strong, enough to handle this task.

Second, the body movements need to reach a subtle level, and the movement speed needs to exceed the hunting speed of a cheetah, which is a running speed of 30 meters per second.

Before the emergence of the superpowers, the world record for the human 100-meter sprint was 9.58 seconds.

In other words, the maximum running speed of humans is probably a little more than 10 meters per second.

In other words, the entry standard for this hidden profession is to reach three times the maximum running speed of humans.

Moreover, this is the maximum speed of top athletes, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The fastest speed of an ordinary adult male is about 7 meters per second.

Of course, the superpowers are not ordinary people. The average attribute of an ordinary adult male is 10 points.

Lu Heng's agility attribute has reached 23 points. Without using any skills, his running speed can easily reach over 16 meters per second.

After activating the Wind Step skill, the speed doubles to 32 meters per second, which has reached the entry standard for this hidden career task.

The speed has been achieved, but the body movements are still far from being at the subtle level, so several days of high-intensity training are needed.

Su Muyu thought for a while and mentioned another thing: "By the way, the woman named Yaduo should be the perceiver I met outside Gongteng Group last time.

"Do you think that silver-haired man is in league with the Gong Teng Group? If they are, I'm worried that they will send assassins again."

The order that Mr. Gong from Gongteng Group gave to the killer was: before killing Lu Heng, find out the truth about Gong Chusheng’s death.

According to the meaning of this order, even if Lu Heng was innocent, he would be killed.

In other words, Mr. Gong didn't care whether the target was innocent or not. He would kill anyone who was suspected, even if it meant killing innocent people.

I have to say that as long as you are ruthless enough, this method is indeed the most direct and effective.

Since the chairman of the Gong Teng Group has already hired a superpower killer once, he will definitely not stop there.

If there is one killer, there will be a second and a third.

If the "Storm Boxing Champion" Lei Jinhao has any connection with Gong Teng Group, the Gong family might even let him do it himself.

Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between Gong Teng Group and Lei Jinhao, at least to know ourselves and our enemies.

At that time, we will have the initiative whether advancing or retreating.

Lu Heng looked at Su Muyu and asked seriously, "If I asked you to go to Champs Elysees again to find that perceiver, would you dare to go?"

Su Muyu nodded seriously: "I dare! I have reached level 9, and I think the perceiver is the woman named Yaduo. I have defeated her once, so I am not afraid of her anymore."

When Su Muyu encountered the perceiver for the first time on the Champs-Elysées Pedestrian Street, his reconnaissance eagle was blown up without him noticing his opponent.

That was the first time she was suppressed by other perceivers and she didn't even see the shadow of her opponent.

I was quite scared at that time.

Now that her level has been raised, she is confident that she can win back.

Lu Heng handed over a demon crystal core: "Okay, this is for you. Absorb it and you should be able to reach level 10. Then go to Champs Elysees and find the perceiver."

I got an ordinary crystal core from Hongda Company before, and I also got one when hunting abyss woodlice, so I have two ordinary crystal cores in my hand.

Ordinary demon crystal cores can be used to awaken ordinary people, and can also be used to increase the energy levels of those with special abilities.

At this stage, most high-level psychics rely on crystal cores.

As long as there is enough financial support and a large number of demon crystal cores are purchased, the level can be increased by absorbing the energy of the crystal cores.

However, the energy of the demon crystal core cannot be absorbed indefinitely.

Continuous use in a short period of time will result in a diminishing marginal effect.

If the amount absorbed exceeds the body's tolerance limit, it can also lead to cell necrosis or even organ failure.

It is precisely because the human body has an upper limit to its ability to withstand demonic energy that no "monsters" appear on the Blue Planet in a short period of time.

If there is no upper limit to absorption, with the wealth held by those level 33 families in the ASE All-Seeing Eye Alliance, they can create a full-level god overnight.

Times have indeed changed, but the power of money remains strong.
