Beginner Agent Passcode Chest (Mission Period Use Only)

Sitting in a driverless automatic hovercraft, Feng Luo studied the little box, made of an unknown black material, on his lap. It had been obtained from a normal System Store after a series of identity collection and verification, as instructed by the mission chip.

Judging by the name of this item alone, it was obvious that whatever was inside were the items required for this mission. But what, specifically? Feng Luo was yearning to know. From the vague words of the white-collared male NPC from before, he had guessed that the items were “blessings” after the transfer to “Agent.”

“Please enter the identification password!”

Feng Luo pushed a button on the black passcode chest and pressed on a virtual keyboard with the line of narrow words that had appeared on the passcode chest.

3S5Dc…

Feng Luo entered the password as shown on the mission chip.

Access verified!

The words began to shift, and, with a soft click, a dent the size of a thumb appeared on the box, and a red dot appeared slightly to the left.

Please place your thumb at the dent and focus on the red dot!

Feng Luo followed the instructions.

Fingerprint verified. Iris verified. DNA, personal terminal, biochip code verified…

Seeing the line of continuous verification information, Feng Luo had to admit that it was no wonder his personal information had to be collected before—in any case, it was an agent item.

Ka!

After two seconds, the heavily guarded “Agent Passcode Chest” had finally been open. Appearing before Feng Luo, in the many inner layers of the box made of a special, soft material, were consumables and several pieces of equipment guaranteed to be unbreakable even if dropped from a 100-meter height.

Beginner Disguise Potion (Mission Item)

Upon consumption, influences shape of muscle and skin cells. Partially changes facial appearance. Lasts for 12 hours (12 hours cooldown time).

“A Disguise Potion, what an amazing item!”

Feng Luo saw that on the highest layer were 10 mini-sized potions and recalled the words of the two NPCs from before, knowing that they were probably the most essential items for “disguising” as an NPC in this mission.

This type of disguise was unlike the changing of personal digital information from before when he’d gone to Roguetown. This type of disguise potion could alter human muscle and skin, and the disguise chip was actually a type of infusion with a biochip capable of changing human muscle and skin. With the combination of the two, a person could completely change his facial appearance to a certain degree, transforming into the look of the NPC indicated on the chip. This type of fast-speed “face transformation” was equivalent to “plastic surgery.”

Speaking of “plastic surgery,” it was undoubtedly a significant characteristic in War. Players had an endless choice of plastic surgery centers in every city. After all, not everyone was like Feng Luo—unbothered by the default facial appearance given by the system based on one’s original appearance, especially for some female players and some idealistic male players, or for players of a different sexuality than their appearance.

In this game, even a two-meter tall, heavily muscled man in reality could undergo plastic surgery to become a petite, delicate little lady if he was willing to spend money. Furthermore, this was completely legal, since the laws of the Star Federation supported the citizens’ freedom to strive for what they truly loved! Of course, the results of this were occasional articles with titles like “The History of XXX’s Blood and Tears” and “My Wife is a Macho-Man” on the forum.

All right—back to the topic. Actually, when Feng Luo saw this type of disguise potion, what he first thought of was not using NPCs but using other players!

If used wisely, an item capable of such a quick “appearance transformation” would be like a “magical skill”! Imagine being hunted down by players of the opposition after killing the target of an assassination mission. Just by using the potion for a change of appearance, once hidden around a corner—combined with a change of clothes—one could become a different person and slip away.

Furthermore, if disguising oneself as a “man” would be easily discovered by the opposition, then one could disguise himself as a woman. In this way, they would not think of it, even if they were gods!

“Of course, disguising as a woman…”

Feng Luo thought about the name list of disguises provided to him by the two NPCs from before—the choices were a female stripper, a restaurant waitress, a bespectacled teacher in uniform… etc.

He felt a chill run down his spine… After that, he turned his attention once more to the items in the passcode chest. The first item was already so powerful, what about the second then?

Strong Blinding Needle (Mission Item)

When shot into the body, results in a slight delay of distance-judgment optic nerve, causing a rapid blinding effect. Lasts for 10 seconds (gradual recovery of vision). Effective distance of 10 meters!

“Blindness!”

A scene appeared in Feng Luo’s mind. It was from when he was on the Silver Leaf Island mission—the look of Neutron Star, powerless in the grasp of the Desert Scorpion after being blinded.

Despite specializing in agility and being a top Light Armor Warrior with highly agile limbs, he had nonetheless lost his combat power entirely when he’d been blinded. It was easy to imagine the consequences if an average player were to be affected.

However, he was not very afraid of this item. As long as there was a Scout Beetle present, he would not be affected even if he closed his eyes!

The following two items were an almost completely transparent ball of thread and an arrowhead-like object.

ZB-03 Agent-Use Traction Line (Mission Item)

Made of super synthetic materials. Holds rapid memory function. Highest pulling force threshold of 20T.

Intelligent Small Traction Anchor (Traction Line Set)

Includes mini intelligence chip, a small controllable traction anchor with grasping ability, high grasp threshold of above 20T.

“Traction anchor!”

Feng Luo had never expected that these two items would be in the passcode chest.

The main purposes of such items were climbing or escaping, which made them useful for entering high floors of buildings from the outside or for climbing down stairs. Other than for climbing and escaping, there seemed to be other purposes as well. Such a memory thread, with such silk-like transparency and a pulling force threshold of 20T, would have far better uses than just as rope! If this transparent thread were to be attached to strategic structures in a dimly lit place and targeted at fast-moving targets, it could effectively cut like a knife! Such a scene was certainly conceivable.

Now, Feng Luo was a little excited inside. These pieces of equipment were far stronger than those he had used when he was a mercenary. After all, the technological advancements of the two were incomparable.

Based on these gadgets, the Agent Hidden Profession really seemed like it was not bad! However, how could these items be used? How could the arrowhead-looking anchor be controlled?

Feng Luo immediately looked at the following item.

Beginner Agent Wristwatch (Mission Item)

Grade: Rare

A wristwatch with a modular concept design, capable of equipping and launching more than 150 types of Agent-Use mini gadgets.

Installed with the internally researched number 4 Agent-Use Intelligence Program “Hummingbird,” capable of interfering with surveillance monitors when within a specific range, detecting systems, and hacking super-intelligent programs (this function drains energy).

Required Profession: Agent (Specific Use in Mission)

Required Level: 45

“It’s decided,” said Feng Luo. “I have to get this Agent Profession no matter what!”
