Chapter 256 Hat-Trick
Two days later, Phoenix Road.
"Sorry, sir."
Yago took off his top hat and bowed in apology to a gentleman in a tan frock coat and a top hat of the same color that he "accidentally" bumped into hurriedly by.
The other party just glared at him, then walked away quickly without even responding.
After the other party left Yago's sight, Yago also left the place where he had just met, and returned to his new home on Phoenix Road before taking off his hat again.
Then
He took out a pocket watch from his pocket.
"What a wonderful ability."
Yago couldn't help muttering.
Muttering, he "looked" at the quaint system page.
After taking the potion, he changed drastically.
Strength increased from 15 to 16.
Constitution changed from 7 to 8.
The shape has not changed.
Agility changed from 11 to 19.
That's right, 11 becomes 19. If you calculate that every 1 point is equal to 1.2 times, that is more than 4 times the increase.
Appearance is still 19, inspiration is increased from 21 to 25, will is increased from 20 to 23
Attributes have increased a lot.
However, another point is more important than attributes.
Ability of the Phantom Thief——
[Hat trick: You can exchange your "card" with any target, and you can get a new hat for every three successful exchanges.
"Onlookers will never know whose hat the card has been changed to, you? Or me? Or him? Of course, keep your voice down, don't be found out, dear Mr. Phantom Thief"]
Like the previous skill description, it's quite vague.
However, Yago has roughly grasped some information about this ability through repeated experiments.
All in all, it can generally be described as "transfer" and "exchange".
The fingers of Yago's right hand lightly tapped the pocket watch that had just arrived.
In an instant, the pocket watch disappeared from his hand.
And when his empty right hand patted the right pocket, the originally flat pocket bulged slightly.
Stretching two fingers in, Yago took out the pocket watch with the rose pattern just now from his pocket.
transfer.
He can make an object "disappear" through one physical contact, and after he makes another contact, he can make the object appear near the touched position.
Whether it is a hand or a foot, or even holding a cane to touch, this action can be completed.
The exchange, in fact, is similar to the transfer.
However, the prerequisite for using "transfer" is "successful exchange three times".
After every three successful "exchange" operations, he can perform a "transfer".
The "new hat" probably corresponds to the ability to "transfer".
By performing exactly the same actions as before, he can exchange two objects.
Moreover, the most important thing is the ability to exchange, the ability to hook up with gamblers, and the skills to hook up with the system.
for example
He "looked" at the system page on the appearance of the ancient book, and looked at the text in the attribute column.
[Strength: 16], [Physique: 8]
hat trick!
In the next instant, the text in the property bar changed.
[Strength: 8], [Physique: 16]
Suddenly, a strange feeling emerged.
An inexplicable sense of weakness, but also an inexplicable sense of energy.
The two weird feelings were intertwined, which made Yago quite uncomfortable.
not only that
This hat trick can also be used in the process of connecting system skills with the gambler's fallacy.
for example
Yago's eyes wandered, and he fixed on a gray-haired fog crow not far away, standing on the kitchen window sill.
persuade
[Persuasion check = 47]
[Persuasion check = 47/80]
This is the time!
hat trick!
The moment the words appeared, Yago immediately used his ability.
In the next moment, the text on the ancient book page changed.
The description of the success of the [Persuasion] check has become the description of the success of the [Animal Taming] check.
Under the wonderful feeling of the gambler's fallacy, Yago circled his right thumb and index finger and stuck it under his tongue:
"Shh-"
A steady whistle came out of his mouth, and the gray-haired mist crow, which was trying to open the window and escape, suddenly turned its head and flew towards him.
Lifting the bone-bone wooden cane held in his left hand, the Mist Crow lightly landed on his cane, as if he had trained it for many years.
Looking at the Mist Crow, which has no 7-shaped spots on its paws, Yago said softly:
"Fly to the forest to the east."
After he said these words, the Mist Crow resting on the cane spread its wings and took off, flew out of the window, and soon disappeared from Yago's sight.
"Pity"
He has experimented with the skill of animal domestication, and each time the skill is successfully used, only one command will take effect.
However, as long as the command is not completed, the animal commanded by his skill will continue until the goal is achieved.
Having said that, he is not sure how long this order can last.
But in general, the skills that were originally placed on his skill bar were almost decorative skills, but now they are basically usable.
As long as the skills he rolls are successful, all the skills he possesses will be effective.
However, unlike the transfer and exchange of physical objects, his exchange of attributes and skills on the system will return to the original state after a period of time.
Putting on the mask and pressing the brim of the hat, Yago took a deep breath.
In the past two days, he has basically done nothing, and has been exploring the use of the skill [Hat Trick], and now, he has almost understood it.
However, for the "new hat" of "transfer", he has some skills that are not used in the system.
He himself didn't know why.
But it was an inexplicable, almost intuitive hunch.
The stakes are high.
Even more risky than the "gambler's fallacy".
Shaking his head and suppressing this strange feeling, Yago thought about another question.
That is the relationship between "Phantom Thief" and "Magician".
Although the strange thief also gives people a strange impression, but the skill [hat trick] sounds more like corresponding to the "magician".
More importantly, in his memory, no, to be precise, in Longfellow's memory, "Strange Thief" is an offset sequence of "Magician"!
It's not the difference between "real name" and "code name", but the difference between whether it is offset or not.
However, the question arises again, is the sequence shifted?
In the past two days, he didn't feel any tendency to lose control at all. On the contrary, after he was promoted, he felt that his tendency to lose control became smaller.
When his abilities were used to the limit, his spirit and emotions were still quite stable.
In other words, it has become more stable.
What the hell is going on?
Moreover, the question of the strange thief and the magician reminded him of one thing.
The relationship between "The Undertaker" and "The Silent One"
Is it "real name" and "code name", or is it an offset relationship like "Phantom Thief" and "Magician"?
