Chapter 180

Zhuge Yue's Power Is Beyond Your Imagination!

"Yan Shuangying… you!"

Wan Shitong's eyes were red-rimmed. She looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't. She had fallen into his trap and was now refusing to give up the information.

Wu Wang couldn't help but comfort her.

"Crying? The clock's ticking."

According to the effects of the 【Transaction Contract】, if he didn't hear the information he wanted within one minute, its contents would automatically appear on the paper.

That damn Black-hearted Penguin was just too considerate.

Faced with this situation, Wan Shitong took two deep breaths to compose herself.

"I'll talk. Of course, I'll talk," she said through gritted teeth. "I currently know of three pieces of intel regarding Zhuge Yue's skills."

"First is 【Peter's Tingle】. Its effect is to identify and lock onto any malicious attacks aimed at her. Even if you were on the other side of the ocean casting a 【Curse】 on her, she would get one chance to forcibly lock onto your location and doxx you in real life."

"In a battle, she can also discern which direction danger is coming from and its approximate area of effect, allowing her to react in advance."

She concluded, "In other words, it's danger perception."

This first skill alone made Wu Wang frown.

No wonder so many people wanted Zhuge Yue dead, yet she was still hopping around to this day. The effect of 【Peter's Tingle】 allowed her to avoid most sneak attacks and traps. In a direct confrontation, she could also react to an opponent's attacks ahead of time.

In a high-end match, a skill like that would make her practically invincible.

"Next is 【Captain's Full Counter】," Wan Shitong continued. "Its effect allows her to reflect any offensive damage directed at her back with several times the power. I don't know the cooldown, but it shouldn't be short. At least fifteen minutes to start with."

"After all, this is an 【Evolvable】 skill. She has already evolved it, and the cooldown time has been reduced."

Another troublesome skill.

Something like 【Captain's Full Counter】 sounded absolutely heaven-defying. Didn't that mean, with a bit of luck, she could face a full-powered blow from an Instance Boss and reflect it back for an instant kill?

Seeing Wu Wang lost in thought, Wan Shitong clearly guessed what he was thinking. She clicked her tongue.

"Why do you think she dares to be so reckless in Instances? What if I told you she has, in fact, used this skill to instantly kill an Instance Boss that hit her with a powerful attack?"

Faced with Wan Shitong's taunt, Wu Wang just asked calmly, "Tell me the specifics. The reflection multiplier and the method."

Her expression darkened.

"The multiplier is related to the mental energy she uses when activating the skill. It can go up to five times. As for the method, it appears out of thin air."

"In other words, if she reflects your attack, the damage appears directly on you. It's unavoidable."

Wu Wang shook his head helplessly. Was this woman a hedgehog? So prickly.

Seeing that he had no other questions, Wan Shitong continued.

"The last one is 【Soul Burn on a Thread】. This skill allows her to, for ten seconds upon nearing death, forcibly recover her full health and status while doubling all her stats."

"The side effect is that after using it, she will be completely weakened and lose all ability to resist."

"It's a last-ditch trump card for a life-or-death struggle."

Numb. He was completely numb.

The three skills rendered Wu Wang silent. However much trouble a woman like Zhuge Yue could stir up, her corresponding abilities were just as strong.

After all, a weakling couldn't possibly make so many people grind their teeth in anger and still remain active in the public eye.

"Wait a minute," Wu Wang said, suddenly curious. "If it's a trump card, how do you know about it? Has someone actually pushed her that far?"

If someone really had pushed Zhuge Yue to the point of using 【Soul Burn on a Thread】, perhaps he could take a page from their book.

Unexpectedly, Wan Shitong's eyes dimmed slightly. She lowered her head and sighed.

"No, she's never been pushed into a true dead-end. I know about this trump card because…"

She paused.

"I was the one who gave her this skill."

Wu Wang was speechless.

Damn it, couples were such a pain.

It made sense. With a powerful Information Broker like Wan Shitong as a partner, it would be a miracle if Zhuge Yue's arsenal was anything less than amazing.

"As for equipment, every piece of clothing on her is equipment," Wan Shitong added, her expression strange. "And they are basically all life-saving equipment."

Wu Wang almost did a double take.

Was she serious? Every single piece was life-saving? How in the world was he supposed to kill a woman like that?

"Heh, how do you think she's survived this long?" Wan Shitong laughed self-deprecatingly. "I gave her half of that gear myself. You can't even imagine how hard she is to kill."

Hearing this, Wu Wang raised an eyebrow.

"How are you so sure that I want to kill her?" he asked with great interest.

Any player who came out of the 【Relic Scramble】 would assume he was after the instance seed Zhuge Yue had taken. But Wan Shitong seemed utterly convinced that he was out for blood.

"I know the seed is actually in your hands, and you just want her dead!" Wan Shitong narrowed her eyes at Wu Wang and retorted, "Is it for your student, Pending Death?"

As soon as she said this, Wu Wang understood. He clapped his hands and laughed.

"So she came to meet with you? She must have been looking for Pending Death's whereabouts, right?"

He shook his head. "How strange. Haven't you two already broken up? Doesn't she know the first rule of breaking up? A proper ex should be treated like they're dead."

"And she was even willing to tell you about the seed? Does she trust you that much?"

Wan Shitong did not answer. It wasn't within the scope of what the contract obligated her to say.

Wu Wang didn't press the matter and had her continue detailing the effects of each piece of equipment. A moment later, he had consolidated the information.

Ignoring the basic stat bonuses, Zhuge Yue's gear had several astonishing effects.

First, it could teleport her to a safe location within a hundred meters when she suffered a fatal blow, an effect she could use at least twice.

Second, she could activate a protective shield once every thirty seconds. It was strong enough to withstand an AK-47's spray and would last for three seconds.

Third, her gear could mitigate most damage from sharp weapons and piercing attacks. The fabric of her clothes was nearly impossible to cut through.

Finally, she could even create up to nine identical illusory copies of herself for a short time. They had no physical substance and were mainly used to confuse an enemy.

And this was only the part that Wan Shitong knew about. It was entirely possible Zhuge Yue had other equipment that even she wasn't aware of.

As for consumable items, Wan Shitong didn't know much. They had been broken up for a long time. Who knew what items Zhuge Yue had used since then, or what new ones she had obtained?

"Give it up, Yan Shuangying. You can't kill her."

Wan Shitong's tone was dead serious.

"I'm not kidding. These are just her life-saving measures. Her power is beyond your imagination."

"I can act as a middleman. I can help you two resolve your grievances and get her to stop pestering Pending Death."

Faced with this suggestion, Wu Wang just smiled faintly.

"Jesus can't save her. I said so."

With that, his gaze shifted to the 【Log Out】 option. The time granted to him by the 【Spirit Venerable of the Sea of Desire】 was almost up.

He was about to return to the real world.
