Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

The resistant skin talent can reduce fatal damage to non-lethal damage. This is the real role of this talent.

To put it in the simplest terms, no matter whether the enemy's attack power is 100 or 10,000, it can only deduct a maximum of 100 points of Dean's full health, and it will not be deducted into a negative number.

The low-level resistance skin can reduce 10% of the damage, turning the fatal damage that deducts 100 blood into the serious injury and dying damage that deducts 90 blood. This is indeed relatively useless, and the enemy can only use one more damage. thing.

But once you reach a high level, the resistant skin can reduce fatal damage to moderate damage that only deducts 40 blood points. Are you not impressed by the value?

It sounds like this resistant skin is like being invincible, but is this really the case?

(By the way, should I take a little leave today? Forget it, let’s ignore such trivial matters. I found that I’m not good at writing exchanges, and I have to explain a lot of things clearly.)

Chapter 164 The Eye of True Seeing and the Virtual Live Broadcast Room

Of course it's impossible. If the resistant skin is really that invincible, then its pricing in the system cannot be just a mid-range price, but the same top-grade price as the sensitive skin.

Resistant skin reduces damage at a horrific rate, but it doesn't work on all forms of damage.

It only applies to natural forms of special damage including burning, freezing, corrosion, toxins, radiation, explosions, high temperatures, etc. It has no defense at all against supernatural damage.

For example, any kind of magic, or some kind of divine power or cosmic power can bypass resistant skin.

Secondly, resistant skin does not take effect against non-special forms of ordinary damage.

What is ordinary damage? The most intuitive example is melee combat. Resistant skin does not defend against fists.

Generally speaking, according to Dean's understanding, resistant skin has no effect on damage caused by various forces and kinetic energy.

Dean wasn't sure if he understood it correctly, because he felt that the system's judgments in many aspects seemed not very...scientific?

But Dean feels it should be pretty much the same.

For example, a person with superpowers who can freely control the magnitude of gravity can use gravity to forcefully tear Dean's body apart. At this time, the resistant skin is of no use at all.

Another example is a missile. Although the shock wave and high heat generated by the explosion will be reduced by the resistant skin, even if it explodes close to the face, it can only injure Dean but not kill him.

However, the debris ejected by the explosion will pose a fatal threat to Dean.

In short, Resistant Skin is really powerful and gives Dean great survivability.

But after all, it is not a bronze head and an iron arm, it is not indestructible, and it is far from invincible defense.

For Dean, the existence of resistant skin is more like a guarantee.

It allows him to not be afraid of cold or heat, poison, fire or radiation, and can still survive in harsh environments without having to worry about being suddenly killed by a large unknown AOE that day.

In the world of DC, don't think that this is unfounded worry, but a disaster that really may happen without knowing when.

Dean believes this is the true value of resistant skin.

After spending 5,000 exclamation points to upgrade the low-level resistance skin to high-level, Dean spent another 5,000 exclamation points to upgrade the mid-level sensitive reaction to high-level.

As for why the sensitive response should be upgraded, the reason is even simpler.

Reaction speed is Dean's biggest asset for surviving in the DC world until the end. It can be said that other abilities are fine, but reaction speed must be placed first.

Improving his reflexes will not only make Dean more skillful in performing magic, but also allow him to dodge most attacks, even when he reaches Midtown in the future.

When faced with the fastest man alive, Dean wouldn't just blink and be sent to prison.

Soon, the account balance was reduced by 10,000 points, and the two talents of resistant skin and sensitive reaction were upgraded to high levels.

"Resistant Skin (High-Level): Slows down 60% of the trauma caused by various special attributes such as burning, freezing, corrosion, toxins, radiation, explosions, etc. and accelerates healing."

"Sensitive reaction (high level): When necessary, the human body's reaction ability can be temporarily greatly improved. The extent of the improvement depends on the physical condition at the time, and it will also lead to rapid physical consumption. The extreme state allows the owner to keep up with the speed of sound less than ten times. Action; it can also slowly increase the owner's reaction ability even when it is not activated. The upper limit of the increase is ten times the speed of sound. When the upper limit is reached, stamina will no longer be consumed."

What should I change next?

Dean looked at the more than 25,000 points left in the balance and fell into deep thought.

He opened the system mall and flipped through the dazzling exchange list.

There are so many props in the system, and there are so many useful things that I can’t even count them.

After just a cursory glance, Dean found ten props that could be of great help to him, but he only had enough wow points left to buy four or five, and after buying them, he became a pauper again.

Dean does not intend to spend all the exclamation points at once, because he has not yet been able to consider all the possibilities in the future. If an emergency occurs, the props on him will not be able to cope with it well, and the remaining balance will not be able to handle it well. There is not enough exclamation value to exchange for targeted props...

Then wouldn’t Dean be done for?

At the very least, more than 5,000 points of exclamation points must be reserved. In other words, Dean currently has a budget of 20,000 points.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Dean spotted an item that was very cost-effective. After looking at the price, he immediately decided to exchange it for two props.

First up is the first prop.

"The Eye of True Sight: Can be used on living and non-living things, and can see through the basic information and ability data of all existences below gods in the single universe."

"Price: Twelve thousand points of exclamation value."

With the Eye of True Seeing, when he meets an unknown super villain or superhero, Dean doesn't need to do extra research and can directly get the basic information about the other person.

However, this basic information is not particularly detailed. It is roughly equivalent to a brief introduction to the character. It will tell you what his name is, what special abilities he has, and what he is good at doing.

Deeper preferences, personality, etc. will not be shown.

But this is already quite useful.

Then comes the second prop.

"Small virtual live broadcast room: You can create a virtual live broadcast room with a maximum of 5,000 people. The live broadcast room will automatically appear on the electronic device closest to the designated group of people."

"The price is 7,500, which is amazing."

The system description of this prop seems a bit abstract and not easy to understand.

But it’s actually easy to understand.

First of all, the virtual live broadcast room only takes effect for designated groups. For example, Dean can specify "people who want to watch Kaitou Kid perform but are not present", then the nearest electronic device around these people will automatically display Kaitou Kid's name. Performance scene.

The advantage of this is that Dean can guarantee that at least 5,000 people will watch his performance every time, which is a fixed income of 5,000 exclamation points.

After all, he can't expect big tycoons to book the Cavaliers Stadium every time to accommodate so many spectators to watch Kaitou Kidd.

The places where Kaitou Kidd usually appears are museums or treasure troves. In such a scene, at most two to three thousand people can be accommodated at the same time. Most people cannot squeeze into the scene. They It can only be viewed via live media.

In the system's judgment, only people who have personally witnessed Kaitou Kidd's performance can provide exclamation points. Others who have seen it live through the media cannot provide exclamation points.

The existence of the virtual live broadcast room can just make up for this.

Not only that, the virtual live broadcast room has another benefit.

Chapter 165 Kaitou Kidd Crime File 20

Dean cannot stay in the city of Gotham his whole life. One day he will truly step into the big world of DC.

Over the course of this period of time playing Kaitou Kidd, Dean has become more and more proficient in his existing abilities, allowing him to clearly recognize his flaws.

If you want to explore more possibilities, getting out of Gotham is an inevitable future, and this future is not far away.

Dean won't stop improving.

After all, major events sweeping the globe and even the universe are not uncommon in this world, and no one can be immune from such disasters.

Dean cannot rely on the Justice League to save his life in the future. Strong self-preservation ability has always been Dean's top priority.

With the help of the system, Dean didn't doubt whether he could achieve this goal, he just needed an immeasurable level of surprise.

The exclamation value comes from the audience, but as the strength further upgrades, the scenes and opponents Kaitou Kidd needs to face will become more and more dangerous. It is even possible that an AOE will kill all the audience on the spot.

In such a situation, the existence of a virtual live broadcast room is essential and crucial!

During this period of time, Kaito Kidd's performance scene seemed to be relatively harmonious, but that was because Gotham's truly vicious and crazy villain had not yet come into contact with Kaito Kidd.

To put it bluntly, the Gotham that Kaitou Kidd has seen so far is not the real Gotham at all.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, it is even a good thing, allowing Dean to spend a long time as a novice smoothly.

After completing all the exchanges, there are still 6307 points left in the account, which will be used as a reserve for emergency exchanges in the future when unexpected situations arise.

"I can finally rest for a while."

Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Dean turned off the system and stretched tiredly.

After briefly washing up, he returned to the bedroom and had a good sleep.

It is worth mentioning that before going to bed, Dean also tested the effect of the Eye of True Seeing.

The Eye of True Sight is a skill with no mana consumption and no cooldown. It is directly integrated with Dean's eyes. He only needs to open his consciousness to use the Eye of True Sight, but it can only be used on a single target at a time.

After turning it on, when Dean looks at any item in his home, the basic information about the item will appear in his eyes, which is very convenient.

Late night, Giordano Botanical Garden.

Batman and Robin gathered next to a freshly dug hole.

The two squatted at the entrance of the cave and carefully inspected the mound for a long time. Robin's body was covered in mud, while Batman's body was spotless.

It is not difficult to imagine that Robin should have just climbed out of the tunnel, but Batman did not.

This is because the tunnel dug by Kaitou Kidd is not big enough for him to crawl inside. The size difference between Robin and Kaitou Kidd is not too big, so they can move inside.

But it's obviously impossible for a cave of this size to accommodate Batman.

Just a while ago, Batman had Robin crawl into a tunnel and make a round trip from Cavaliers Stadium to the Giordano Botanical Gardens.

Firstly, it was to actually test the timing of Kaitou Kidd's actions, and secondly, he wanted to see if he could find any clues about Kaitou Kidd in the tunnels. Any clue would do.

You must know that the soil in the tunnel is very moist. If you crawl through it, your whole body will be covered with mud. On the other hand, Kaitou Kidd will probably leave behind dandruff such as hair and dandruff in the process. Subtle clues.

However, when Robin took a magnifying glass and searched the tunnel twice, he found no clues.

I did see a few strands of hair, but unfortunately they were not from Kaitou Kidd, but from his first trip back and forth...

"Judging from the situation below, this hole was dug not long ago. Judging from the traces, it should not have been more than two hours ago."

Robin looked at the hole and said to Batman.

"Maybe not even an hour."

Batman added.

"Strange, so strange."

Robin put a hand on his chin and muttered to himself.

"This place is exactly the same as the Cavaliers Stadium. The tunnel was dug early in the morning, but there is two meters of soil at the entrance. How is this possible?"

"It looks as if Kaito Kidd did not dig an entrance into the ground, but dug a passage directly two meters below the ground."

Robin has fought against Kaitou Kidd many times. He thought he had some understanding of the latter, but the latter always brought him new and incredible insights.

"Is it possible that Kaitou Kidd later covered the entrance of the cave with soil?"

Robin guessed uncertainly.

"impossible."

Hearing this, Batman only said one word.

"Okay, I know it's impossible. If the soil is filled in later, it will definitely leave traces, and the color will be darker. It's okay if it's just a few dozen centimeters on the surface to cover it up. It's impossible to fill a full two meters without it. Leaving traces."

Robin waved his hand and said helplessly.

"Besides this possibility, is there any other way to do this?"

Yes, how can it be done?

If Kaitou Kidd is a magician within the normal range, no matter how superb his skills are and how outstanding his talent is, Batman does not believe that he can do such a thing.

There is only one possibility.

Kaito Kidd used some kind of supernatural means!

Maybe the idea is a bit fanciful, but Batman is serious about it.

Since the creation of the Justice League, he has seen too many terrifying entities that far exceed the imagination of the people of Gotham, and his attitude towards supernatural powers is no longer the same as his refusal to believe in his early years.

Because these all really exist and are not fairy tales.

Especially when Kaitou Kidd was able to dig a passage directly underground through the ground, Batman had to think about that.
