Qin Shilei once again took out the second orange item he obtained.
It was a mask, a mask as thin as cicada wings.
"I wonder which lucky person managed to get such a heaven-defying orange item. It looks like their luck is on par with An Qian's," Zhang Xiaoli said with a sigh.
"With billions of people on Blue Star, there are always a few who are incredibly lucky."
Qin Shilei also marveled at the other person's fortune.
"They actually traded such a life-saving divine artifact for Enlightenment Tea. I wonder if they'll regret it later."
Zhang Xiaoli took the mask and tentatively put it on her face.
Soon, she transformed into Xia Yunyan, who had left not long ago, even her height and build were exactly the same.
"City Lord, why are you looking at me like that? Have you been secretly in love with me for a long time?"
After transforming, Zhang Xiaoli winked at Qin Shilei and asked shyly.
"Pfft!"
Qin Shilei was instantly dumbfounded.
He could only say with a stern face, "Xiaoli, no fooling around."
"City Lord, I'm not fooling around."
Zhang Xiaoli continued to role-play, "Actually, Yunyan has also secretly liked the City Lord for a long time. It's just that I was afraid your wife wouldn't like it, so I never dared to confess. City Lord, please take Yunyan as a concubine. Now, let this humble servant attend to you."
With that, she directly hugged Qin Shilei's waist.
Qin Shilei became extremely awkward.
Even though he knew it was his wife transformed, she looked too much like Xia Yunyan.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to push her away or not, but not pushing her away was also inappropriate.
Zhang Xiaoli leaned close to Qin Shilei's ear and whispered, "Husband, isn't this exciting? This is truly a divine artifact. I'll be using it every night from now on. Whatever type of woman you want to become, I'll become it, and I'll let you experience all sorts of different beautiful women."
Qin Shilei broke out in a cold sweat again from Zhang Xiaoli's seductive words.
"Quickly take the mask off me. What if someone sees it and misunderstands?"
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaoli giggled as she took off the mask, "Husband, are you implying that I can wear it freely at night?"
Qin Shilei playfully pinched her delicate cheek and snatched the mask away.
Formless Mask (Orange): Legend has it that it was refined by the Master-level Formless Emperor using various precious materials. It can transform into any creature the wearer has seen or come into contact with, according to their will. The transformed creature is indistinguishable from the original in appearance and soul. After transformation, using excessive force will revert it to its original form.
The moment Qin Shilei saw this mask, countless ways to use it flooded his mind.
Of course, some stimulating and dark thoughts also flashed through his mind. His previous owner had used this mask multiple times to experience role-playing. In the apocalypse, its main purpose was for survival and for infiltration. For example, it could be used to transform into a zombie to enter a zombie-infested supermarket and take whatever supplies were desired. Or, when being chased by mutated beasts, one could suddenly transform into one of their own kind to escape. Although the Formless Mask surely had its limitations, it was entirely worthy of its orange quality, an unparalleled treasure. If Qin Shilei had possessed this mask when he was chased by the Worm Emperor last time, he could have transformed into an ordinary mutated beast and easily escaped.
[Perform attribute refresh?]
[Refresh.]
Thick Skin (Blue): Increases the wearer's skin thickness tenfold, allowing them to speak falsehoods without blushing.
Copy (Purple): After the wearer transforms into another creature, there is a chance to acquire that creature's unique talent and language ability. (Requires the Formless Mask to come into contact with the object to be transformed into.)
Intimidating Aura (Purple): After the wearer transforms into another creature, they will possess that creature's aura.
Although there were no orange attributes, these two purple attributes were very good. Qin Shilei ultimately chose the Copy attribute. After fixing the attributes, Qin Shilei directly put on the Formless Mask.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a swift wind sparrow the size of a fist.
*Bang!*
The swift wind sparrow immediately fell to the ground.
"Haha." Zhang Xiaoli burst into laughter, "Silly husband, did you forget that Hope City is a no-fly zone?"
"..."
Extremely embarrassed, Qin Shilei had no choice but to use Thunder Escape to leave the Qin'an Royal Mansion. However, as soon as his figure appeared, he realized he had reverted to his original form. Without overthinking, he continued to use Thunder Escape to leave Hope City. He transformed into a swift wind sparrow again and appeared thousands of meters away like a bolt of lightning. The speed of a swift wind sparrow with Golden Six-star cultivation was indeed extraordinary. Even without the assistance of various talents and acceleration abilities, it was comparable to the speed of a Golden-Winged Thunder Roc. He dived towards the Chi Yuan River below. The moment he touched the river water, Qin Shilei instantly transformed into a golden, shimmering koi. As if born to be a fish, Qin Shilei swiftly swam through the Chi Yuan River.
Through testing, Qin Shilei discovered that after transforming with the Formless Mask, he completely possessed the physical characteristics of the species. However, once he used power exceeding the Silver realm, he would immediately revert to his original form. Overall, Qin Shilei was very satisfied with this orange item. Even if the other party had demanded twenty Enlightenment Teas, he would have chosen to trade without hesitation.
As dusk fell, and with Zhang Xiaoli insisting on playing with the Formless Mask, Qin Shilei had to postpone his investigation of Lingquan City until tomorrow.
The next morning, Qin Shilei, feeling refreshed, arrived near Lingquan City again. Without much effort, Qin Shilei discovered a Soul Devourer. Seeing the Soul Devourer lunging at him, he held up the Formless Mask and met it head-on. After the Formless Mask touched the creature, he struck it with a thunderbolt, reducing it to ashes.
After putting on the Formless Mask, Qin Shilei instantly transformed into a semi-transparent silhouette.
"Heh heh!"
"Bah, how can I talk like that golden Soul Devourer?"
The words that came out of Qin Shilei's mouth were demonic. Besides the demonic language, he gained no other talents from the Soul Devourer. After he removed the Formless Mask, the demonic language he had learned was completely forgotten.
He put on the mask again and flew into Lingquan City. As soon as he entered Lingquan City, Qin Shilei encountered another Soul Devourer with two light orbs in its body.
"Hey, how are the leaders feeling today? Did they punish you when you brought them food?" the Soul Devourer asked Qin Shilei.
"..."
Qin Shilei tentatively replied, "Their moods are not very good."
"Sigh." The Soul Devourer sighed and said, "I hope the leaders don't eat me."
With that, it flew towards the northeast corner of Lingquan City. Qin Shilei quickly chased after it and asked, "Hey, what's your name? Can I ask you a question?"
"You're really strange," the Soul Devourer said, looking bewildered. "We are all Lord Buck, but I am number 2496. What is your number, and what do you want to ask me?"
A clone of a Soul Devourer. Could all the Soul Devourers in Lingquan City be clones of this "Buck"?
"Heh heh, I'm 9527." Qin Shilei chuckled dryly. "Do you know where the spatial rift here is?"
"Are you amnesiac or have you been controlled?" The Soul Devourer suddenly looked at Qin Shilei with full alert. "If you don't explain, I'll have to notify the leaders."
