694, did you have a hallucination?_1

Passive Skill 1367

"1367? What's that?" Wang Qiu'er was completely baffled.

Lin Yi explained, "1367 is just a random code for this passive skill. There are many passive skills on The Big Wheel, all sorts of them, so they're usually referred to by code numbers."

Lin Yi glanced at the notes and said to Wang Qiu'er, "The passive skill you drew is..."

Looking at the notes, Lin Yi paused and did not continue.

After a moment, he continued with a hint of shock, "When your skill hits a specific character, besides the damage caused by the skill itself, it will also inflict additional damage equal to 20 percent of that character's current health points..."

That was the reason for Lin Yi's astonishment.

Had the System gone too far?

At first glance, this passive skill seemed ordinary, but Lin Yi's own health points were far from ordinary!

Others might not know how much health Lin Yi had, nor were they aware that Lin Yi had health points at all, but Lin Yi knew very well!

His health points were an astronomically high number, and even 30 percent of it was immense!

However, a line of small text immediately below the notes quickly calmed Lin Yi down.

[This reward is ineffective on the host]

Uh... It seemed the System hadn't lost control after all; it was just that Lin Yi had forgotten about this detail.

He instinctively thought that damage-type rewards would apply to him, so he assumed this reward would too, not expecting the System to impose a limitation on it.

"Only thirty percent? That's not much," Wang Qiu'er muttered.

Lin Yi said, "This involves the luck aspect of the wheel. It's normal. Just remember that this reward doesn't work on me."

Now, Wang Qiu'er was even more speechless. After finally getting a damage enhancement, the effect turned out to be mediocre and, to make matters worse, it didn't work on Lin Yi.

She let out a frustrated sigh and walked back to face Lin Yi again.

"Alright then, I'm starting my second attack for today."

The benefits of Magical Chicken Essence would last for one hour, so at this moment, Wang Qiu'er still had a 60 percent damage enhancement effect on her.

As for the method of attack this time, she chose to have Bumblebee replace its firearms again.

The scent of gunpowder permeated the air and smoke veiled Bumblebee's face as the shell exploded on Lin Yi again. Soon, a gold-colored energy storm swept the grey smoke away towards Wang Qiu'er's side. At this moment, Bumblebee stood protectively behind Wang Qiu'er, fully exuding the aura of a bodyguard, and fired another shell.

The attack ended, and Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood Loss: 332754]

[Remaining Health Points: 883030926387]

[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]

[Random Reward: Hallucination (Personal)]

[Host Reward: Hallucination (Multiple People)]

Upon seeing the reward, Lin Yi immediately widened his eyes.

That's right, his first thought was of Vision from Marvel!

However, the contents inside the parentheses prevented him from associating it with Vision, so Lin Yi immediately reviewed the notes regarding the reward, and only then did he realize that the two characters were meant to be taken literally.

"Damage 332754, Red Intermediate, your reward is an ability named 'Phantom Vision'."

Wang Qiu'er quietly watched Lin Yi, waiting for an explanation.

"Phantom Vision means that you can make others see whatever you want them to see, not as a figment in their mind, but with their eyes, truly and clearly, although it is nothing but an illusion that won't actually appear. This reward can ignore the opponent's power level."

"Ignore the opponent's power level?!"

Wang Qiu'er was somewhat surprised. It was the first time she had received a reward that carried this label. Generally, rewards at the Red Level didn't qualify for this tag.

Lin Yi nodded, "That's right, but the limitation is that it can only affect one person at a time. When you wish to target another person, the effect on the former one dissipates."

As for the "Critical Hit Hallucination" that Lin Yi obtained, it could affect multiple people simultaneously, and here "multiple people" didn't specify a limit; since no limit was indicated, it meant there was no cap.

Wang Qiu'er nodded her head, then asked with sudden curiosity, "But making others see what I want them to see, how should I use this reward? Or rather, does this reward possess any offensive capabilities?"

The reason Wang Qiu'er asked this was quite normal since by now most people believe that a reward's effect is characterized by its offensive capabilities.

Lin Yi: "When you understand what someone fears, by making them see the thing they fear, isn't that an embodiment of offensive capability?"

Wang Qiu'er pressed on, "What if I don't know what they fear?"

Lin Yi calmly replied, "In this world, often there are certain things that the vast majority of people find fearful, like how many women are generally afraid of spiders, centipedes, and other such poisonous insects crawling on their skin..."

As Lin Yi said this, indeed many women on the scene began to shudder.

"Ugly corpses, bizarre faces, and unexpected horrors — these can all be called the sources of most people's fears. You just need to control the timing, angle, and position of what they see."

Having said this, Lin Yi then asked, "Do you know how to scare someone?"

Wang Qiu'er hesitated, then after a moment shook her head: "I've never scared anyone, I'm not sure."

Lin Yi: "The premise of scaring someone is to prevent the target from being able to predict what is about to occur. So, when you want to use this reward, do not let your opponent know that you are going to use it, or that it is intended for them. The unexpected ensures certain victory."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er nodded as if suddenly enlightened.

While Lin Yi was speaking, he had already flicked the reward orb to her.

At this moment, Di Tian, who was engrossed in the scene onstage, suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head to look, but saw nothing.

Di Tian scratched his head, puzzled, but didn't pay it much attention. Yet in a little while, he glimpsed the white shadow again. Di Tian immediately turned his head, but still, he saw nothing.

Bi Ji looked at him curiously, "What's wrong?"

Di Tian laughed, "Nothing, just seeing things."

He turned his head, rubbed his eyes, and just as he lowered his hand, Di Tian suddenly froze. His eyes widened as he saw a withered hand slowly crawling up his chest and resting on his shoulder. Then, its owner slowly lifted its head in front of him, very close. It was an extremely horrific face.

Disheveled hair, eye sockets without eyeballs, no lips, just rotten yellow-black teeth in the mouth, and shattered flesh hanging from the nose...

The visage crept closer.

Di Tian cried out in alarm and fell backward onto the ground.
