Bai Wu’s eyes lit up.
The remarks were straightforward; Prayle’s Eye could provide information in various aspects, but the problem was... most of the time, the information provided by the eye was random.
This telescope, on the other hand, only gave one piece of information: the weakness of the observed object.
Bai Wu adjusted the angle of the telescope and found that indeed, it was impossible to take with him.
Just like that ring... Some things are very useful with incredible functions, yet they are limited to certain scenarios.
Through the lens of the telescope, Bai Wu spotted the next stronghold.
One thousand five hundred meters away, there indeed was a house, a public restroom provided for convenience.
Interestingly, when Bai Wu looked through the Weakness Prospecting Mirror with his own eyes, the effects of Prayle’s Eye and the mirror overlapped.
[Evil Fallen do not need to excrete, so the restroom here is no longer just a toilet; it has become a sort of alternative gas station. Inside, there is a Sequence of limited use—Sequence 799: Wave Band Interference. You only need to kill that Evil Fallen, and you have a forty-five percent chance of acquiring this Talent, whose weakness is fire.]
"Interesting, a food oil-like creature that’s afraid of fire?"
From the remarks and the recent close contact, Bai Wu believed that while these creatures had undergone Evil Fallen Transformation and became mechanical, they still retained the habits of animals... or living beings.
Just like the rhinoceros that was sleeping downstairs.
Bai Wu looked around and the telescope provided the weaknesses of some creatures, but these creatures were not on his intended path.
He felt a bit regretful that such a useful item could only be used this one time.
There were still three minutes left.
With the power of Innate Force at the first rank, ninth sequence, he was well able to cover one thousand five hundred meters and enter combat status with the fire-fearing Evil Fallen within three minutes.
However, Bai Wu did something that seriously angered the Bullhead.
He stomped his foot and leaped over the observation deck’s railing, jumping down. This forceful stomp caused a massive noise, and even though the normal senses of Evil Fallen were significantly dulled, they were awakened.
The young rhinoceros, enjoying the bliss of being a Bullhead alongside Mrs. Bull, was suddenly roused from its dreams.
The enraged rhinoceros, regardless of age, would have definitely demolished the observation deck under its charge, had it been normal.
However, some buildings in the outside world of the tower were hard to destroy, using this rule to his advantage, Bai Wu had enough time to escape.
He didn’t think he could outrun an Evil Fallen rhinoceros that was a third-level mutation. In its wrathful state, the rhinoceros kept charging but never made it out of the observation deck.
After the non-combat state was lifted, the countdown in Bai Wu’s mind also stopped until he had gained a certain distance from the rhinoceros, only then did he re-enter the non-combat state.
The countdown in his mind started again from twelve minutes.
With only about ten meters away from the "fuel station" restroom, Bai Wu hid in a corner.
The Evil Fallen hiding in the restroom revealed a tail.
The tail was also its body.
The inhabitant of this stronghold was a mechanical snake. But seeing those futuristic scales, Bai Wu had the impulse to collect it as a figurine.
[A fourth-level mutated Evil Fallen, Mutation Entry: Corrosion, Mechanical Interference. Rare Mutation Entry: Mechanization. An Amazon Forest Python, but now it’s no different from a Steel Seadramon. It craves oil but is afraid of fire.]
The Talent Sequence 799 is Wave Band Interference, which correlates to the Mutation Entry of Mechanical Interference, it seems.
Bai Wu remembered that in the Talent Sequence periodical, this Sequence was described in detail.
The moment the Sequence was activated, it could cause non-destructive interference to most mechanical devices.
In short, surveillance cameras would not be able to record, listening devices would not be able to hear, and any mechanical items had a certain chance of malfunctioning.
In the outside environment of the tower, this ability was almost useless, but Bai Wu was determined to obtain it.
"With this, my identity as Constantine will be even better concealed, and even when I go to the third floor, I could avoid a lot of surveillance. I have to get it."
On one side was a fourth-level Evil Fallen, like a Steel Seadramon, and on the other side was a newbie who had only been to the world outside the tower four times.
Although he knew the Forest Python was afraid of fire, to ignite the oil inside the stronghold, he would have to get close to the stronghold, close to the Python, and once it started burning, he couldn’t escape either.
"It’s a bit tricky. How can I set it on fire to kill it, and yet get away unscathed?"
At a distance of fourteen meters, Bai Wu could even hear the hissing sound of the forest python inside the stronghold, which had a much higher frequency than the hissing of a normal snake. free𝑤ebnovel.com
After pondering for about a minute, Bai Wu was certain that unless he possessed third-tier speed, he couldn’t do it.
"This is an oil depot, the enemy is afraid of fire. It limited my thinking, making me constantly consider how to ignite the depot. In fact... I have a better method."
Without further thought, Bai Wu silently left the place.
He continued to search for a new stronghold; the next one was only two thousand two hundred meters away.
It was a wilderness restaurant. When there were only two minutes and twenty seconds left on the countdown of the negative attributes, Bai Wu arrived at the restaurant.
Two stories high, it served as a viewing area where one could drink and dine while enjoying the scenery of the savannah. The original zoo was enclosed by wire fencing, which could be considered safe.
Now that the iron net was broken, many animals had escaped, and this place had become an animal territory.
Right on the first floor, Bai Wu encountered a feline animal that was dozing off. From its dense mane, it could tell that this was a mechanical lion.
Its whole body appeared to be enveloped in some unknown alloy; its claws emitted a blue light, resembling laser blades, as if they could easily sever the bodies of Evil Fallen made mechanical.
But, like other creatures, it was not entirely covered in machinery; some parts of its body retained a biological form, and for this lion, it was its mane. It seemed no different from the lions of old.
[Level 5 Mutated Evil Fallen, rare Mutation Entry: Mechanization, Metal Nemesis, Paralyzing Roar. A mount every man dreams of, riding a giant mechanical lion on the streets, probably only those who pilot Gundams could match you.]
This reminded Bai Wu of his childhood when he envied Taiyi, who rode on the shoulders of Mechagodzilla through the streets of Tokyo.
The next thing Bai Wu had to do was extremely perilous, but in his view, he had already tested it once, so it was not dangerous.
This was a live broadcast.
Inside the tower, on the huge TV wall of the harbor, when the majestic body of the mechanical giant lion appeared, even Ye Weiming, who was responsible for the voiceover, started to tremble.
And at this moment, was Constantine actually approaching it step by step?
"Oh my God, this lion satisfies all my fantasies about mechanical beasts! But isn’t Constantine being too bold?"
From the earlier broadcasts, the viewers already knew that these ironheads were alive.
Outside the tower, any trace of fear would undoubtedly awaken the Evil Fallen within this distance.
"He’s too bold, is his courage made of iron like these creatures?"
"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!"
"I feel like he’ll get eaten any second now."
In the lens, the lion’s head grew larger and larger because Bai Wu was getting closer and closer to it.
Bai Wu at the moment, was like the internet celebrity in his past life, who risked their life for a photo by touching a tiger’s testicles, preferring money over life.
But Bai Wu had tested more than once that the perception of the Evil Fallen had a significant problem. They were the ultimate radar for sensing emotions, but their normal five senses had degenerated terribly.
"Incredible, he even dares to touch its mane!"
"Oh my God, I feel like I’m going to pee my pants watching this, and he doesn’t seem fazed!"
With boldness bordering on recklessness, Bai Wu was now less than half a meter away from the lion, gently reaching out and touching the mane.
This scene made everyone watching hold their breath.
Liu Chengzi, the live broadcast organizer, along with Ye Weiming and other behind-the-scenes staff, were also seeing someone tempt fate to this extent for the first time.
Only Bai Wu’s heart was calm.
His hand was so steady it was uncanny, never shaking from the beginning to the end, so bold it made people think it was fake.
But all the people at the bottom knew that there were no zoos that large at the bottom level, nor such cool prop lions.
"What’s he doing? Showing off his bravery?"
Of course, Bai Wu wasn’t showing off his courage; he was just tying a knot in the lion’s mane...
And on that knot, he hung a ring.
