Chapter 205: Chapter 205
“First, the Enforcer Mask—doesn't it sound familiar?”
“That’s right, it has quite a connection with the Madman Mask.”
“As an administrator, what’s the biggest headache? Players wearing Madman Masks to defy authority, right?”
“And here’s the frustrating part: according to administrator restrictions—”
“Administrators can only use their execution authority to kill players if they are attacked first.”
“And such kills do not grant survival points.”
“Furthermore, when players are wearing Madman Masks, administrators are forbidden from killing them by any means other than execution authority.”
“Otherwise, survival points will be deducted as well.”
“In short, the Madman Mask is a real pain for administrators.”
“Its effect is straightforward and brutal—killing a player wearing a Madman Mask grants a hundred times the survival points.”
A hundred times survival points!
Hearing this, many people present couldn’t help but gasp in shock!
Jiang Ye was even more stunned and exclaimed:
“What the hell?! A hundred times survival points?! Are you kidding me?”
“So by your logic, the real purpose of the Enforcer Mask isn’t just to stop players from recklessly wearing Madman Masks and provoking administrators…”
“But players with Enforcer Masks could team up with Madman Masks to farm survival points, right?”
“Suppose I have ten Madman Masks, then just find ten cannon fodders to kill, and I can easily rake in a thousand survival points?!”
Lin Ling raised an eyebrow: “Yes, you can understand it that way.”
“No way?” Jiang Ye looked at her calmly and couldn’t comprehend it at all. “But is that reasonable?”
“What’s unreasonable about it?” Lin Ling glanced sideways at him. “Do you think it’s that easy to get ten Madman Masks just because you say so?”
“You’re probably just used to dealing with powerful people and think everyone can win a hundred matches in a row and Madman Masks are as common as street trash?”
Well, after her sharp retort, Jiang Ye realized his mindset was seriously out of touch with reality.
It’s like some stars and wealthy elites who have already risen far above the masses, shocked that people would slave away for only five thousand a month. Why don’t they just find easier jobs paying ten times that?
They just don’t get it. No way.
Being detached from the masses means you can’t understand.
Jiang Ye was now somewhat detached from the crowd himself.
But honestly, it’s probably really hard for ordinary people to obtain Madman Masks.
However, for his avatars to farm Madman Masks, it shouldn’t be difficult.
And actually, it’s not necessarily about winning a hundred matches in a row to get Madman Masks.
When he overheard the apartment administrators chatting before, wasn’t there news that—
Those administrators have a habit of collecting Madman Masks!
With his current strength, farming administrators might be even faster than winning a hundred matches in a row.
Besides, gathering all administrator identities as soon as possible was already part of his plan.
Then, holding a large number of Madman Masks combined with Enforcer Masks…
It would be a sudden fortune explosion!
At that time, his avatar count could quickly surpass ten thousand! Newest update provıded by novel·fiɾe·net
Then, if merging avatars via the Reincarnation Graveyard is feasible…
Plus the countless “revival stones” like red and green stones scattered throughout the Reincarnation Graveyard…
He would be able to grow strong at an incredible speed!
Just thinking about it made Jiang Ye’s blood surge with excitement!
Seeing this, Lin Ling sneered at him again: “The masks are for administrators, not for you. Why are you so excited?”
Jiang Ye’s heart skipped a beat, but seeing Ouyang and the others also getting excited, he didn’t mind.
He sighed helplessly and admired, “Sigh, you experts really know how to play this game!”
“When will I become a powerful expert like you…”
His words echoed the heartfelt wishes of everyone present.
Lin Ling, having seen too many dreamers like him, said nothing more and continued to introduce:
“The effect of the Faceless Mask is to reduce presence.”
“Wearing it, whatever you do won’t attract attention.”
“Even if some powerful players notice you at the time, they will gradually forget about it afterward.”
“For example, if you slap Administrator 4444 and run away wearing it—”
“Administrator 4444 might be furious at first, but soon, he’ll completely forget the incident.”
This item feels essential for committing crimes or doing shady things.
For some big events, when you need to keep a low profile, wearing it can save your life.
Jiang Ye was just thinking about that when Lin Ling suddenly remembered something and explained:
“Items that cause partial memory loss aren’t uncommon in Doomsday Apartment.”
“That’s why the Life Stone is so precious.”
“The memory awakening items I showed earlier can’t recall the memories lost due to the Faceless Mask, only the Life Stone can.”
“In other words, you might not even realize you’ve forgotten some experiences…”
“But the Life Stone can help you remember.”
Alright, that makes sense.
Jiang Ye then looked at the last mask with the grinning ghost face.
“What about the last one, the Mask of Deceit? Since it’s the finale, its effect must be the strongest, right?”
Lin Ling nodded: “Indeed. In a way, its effect is the strongest.”
“After wearing the Mask of Deceit, you can perfectly mimic anyone’s voice and expressions.”
“And as the mimicry continues over time, you can synchronize and gain the abilities of the person being mimicked…”
“For example, if you wear it to mimic me, then as long as you keep mimicking, you can synchronize all my abilities.”
“Even more, if you choose a light-element player to mimic, you can synchronize their light-element talents too!”
Then if I directly mimic a roaming merchant, wouldn’t I take off in no time?!
The roaming merchant is wrapped in a black robe and no one knows what he looks like!
Also, Jiang Ye didn’t overlook Lin Ling’s phrase—“in a way.”
Judging by that, this item must have some limitations.
Sure enough, seeing him quickly calm down, Lin Ling added:
“Unfortunately, such a powerful item has two major restrictions.”
“First, look inside the mask—isn’t there a groove around it?”
“That’s for embedding a Mimic Mask.”
“In other words, you must first obtain the Mimic Mask of the person you want to mimic before you can use the Mask of Deceit to impersonate them.”
“But anyone with a bit of brains would never allow someone to smear Skin Sand on their face to make a Mimic Mask of themselves.”
“So it’s basically impossible to use it to impersonate powerful people.”
“Second, here’s another drawback of this mask—”
“The wearer of the Mask of Deceit cannot lie.”
“If they lie, the mask’s effect will fail.”
“Not only will the disguise fail, but the synchronized abilities will also be lost.”
“You can only put the mask back on and accumulate mimicry time again to resynchronize the abilities.”
“But if you lie during this process, you have to start over with the mask again…”
That’s indeed a bit of a drawback.
But if you keep silent while wearing the Mask of Deceit, isn’t that fine?
Oh right, if you only want to synchronize the abilities of the mimicked person, staying silent is fine.
But if you want to impersonate them to do things, lying will happen all the time…
So this mask is mainly used to synchronize the mimicked person’s abilities…
But to synchronize powerful abilities, you need to get the powerful person’s Skin Mask.
That’s really a bit of a drawback.
However, Jiang Ye’s eyes suddenly flickered as he thought of another use for this mask.
Seeing his expression, Lin Ling chuckled: “You’re a bit clever. Looks like you’ve already thought of it—”
“This Mask of Deceit, besides being used to disguise others and synchronize their powers, has a more practical function—lie detection.”
“So, do you want to try on and experience its ‘lie detection’ feature?”
