Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Of course it's impossible. If the resistant skin is really that invincible, then its pricing in the system cannot be just a mid-range price, but the same top-grade price as the sensitive skin.

Resistant skin reduces damage at a horrific rate, but it doesn't work on all forms of damage.

It only applies to natural forms of special damage including burning, freezing, corrosion, toxins, radiation, explosions, high temperatures, etc. It has no defense at all against supernatural damage.

For example, any kind of magic, or some kind of divine power or cosmic power can bypass resistant skin.

Secondly, resistant skin does not take effect against non-special forms of ordinary damage.

What is ordinary damage? The most intuitive example is melee combat. Resistant skin does not defend against fists.

Generally speaking, according to Dean's understanding, resistant skin has no effect on damage caused by various forces and kinetic energy.

Dean wasn't sure if he understood it correctly, because he felt that the system's judgments in many aspects seemed not very...scientific?

But Dean feels it should be pretty much the same.

For example, a person with superpowers who can freely control the magnitude of gravity can use gravity to forcefully tear Dean's body apart. At this time, the resistant skin is of no use at all.

Another example is a missile. Although the shock wave and high heat generated by the explosion will be reduced by the resistant skin, even if it explodes close to the face, it can only injure Dean but not kill him.

However, the debris ejected by the explosion will pose a fatal threat to Dean.

In short, Resistant Skin is really powerful and gives Dean great survivability.

But after all, it is not a bronze head and an iron arm, it is not indestructible, and it is far from invincible defense.

For Dean, the existence of resistant skin is more like a guarantee.

It allows him to not be afraid of cold or heat, poison, fire or radiation, and can still survive in harsh environments without having to worry about being suddenly killed by a large unknown AOE that day.

In the world of DC, don't think that this is unfounded worry, but a disaster that really may happen without knowing when.

Dean believes this is the true value of resistant skin.

After spending 5,000 exclamation points to upgrade the low-level resistance skin to high-level, Dean spent another 5,000 exclamation points to upgrade the mid-level sensitive reaction to high-level.

As for why the sensitive response should be upgraded, the reason is even simpler.

Reaction speed is Dean's biggest asset for surviving in the DC world until the end. It can be said that other abilities are fine, but reaction speed must be placed first.

Improving his reflexes will not only make Dean more skillful in performing magic, but also allow him to dodge most attacks, even when he reaches Midtown in the future.

When faced with the fastest man alive, Dean wouldn't just blink and be sent to prison.

Soon, the account balance was reduced by 10,000 points, and the two talents of resistant skin and sensitive reaction were upgraded to high levels.

"Resistant Skin (High-Level): Slows down 60% of the trauma caused by various special attributes such as burning, freezing, corrosion, toxins, radiation, explosions, etc. and accelerates healing."

"Sensitive reaction (high level): When necessary, the human body's reaction ability can be temporarily greatly improved. The extent of the improvement depends on the physical condition at the time, and it will also lead to rapid physical consumption. The extreme state allows the owner to keep up with the speed of sound less than ten times. Action; it can also slowly increase the owner's reaction ability even when it is not activated. The upper limit of the increase is ten times the speed of sound. When the upper limit is reached, stamina will no longer be consumed."

What should I change next?

Dean looked at the more than 25,000 points left in the balance and fell into deep thought.

He opened the system mall and flipped through the dazzling exchange list.

There are so many props in the system, and there are so many useful things that I can’t even count them.

After just a cursory glance, Dean found ten props that could be of great help to him, but he only had enough wow points left to buy four or five, and after buying them, he became a pauper again.

Dean does not intend to spend all the exclamation points at once, because he has not yet been able to consider all the possibilities in the future. If an emergency occurs, the props on him will not be able to cope with it well, and the remaining balance will not be able to handle it well. There is not enough exclamation value to exchange for targeted props...

Then wouldn’t Dean be done for?

At the very least, more than 5,000 points of exclamation points must be reserved. In other words, Dean currently has a budget of 20,000 points.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Dean spotted an item that was very cost-effective. After looking at the price, he immediately decided to exchange it for two props.

First up is the first prop.

"The Eye of True Sight: Can be used on living and non-living things, and can see through the basic information and ability data of all existences below gods in the single universe."

"Price: Twelve thousand points of exclamation value."

With the Eye of True Seeing, when he meets an unknown super villain or superhero, Dean doesn't need to do extra research and can directly get the basic information about the other person.

However, this basic information is not particularly detailed. It is roughly equivalent to a brief introduction to the character. It will tell you what his name is, what special abilities he has, and what he is good at doing.

Deeper preferences, personality, etc. will not be shown.

But this is already quite useful.

Then comes the second prop.

"Small virtual live broadcast room: You can create a virtual live broadcast room with a maximum of 5,000 people. The live broadcast room will automatically appear on the electronic device closest to the designated group of people."

"The price is 7,500, which is amazing."

The system description of this prop seems a bit abstract and not easy to understand.

But it’s actually easy to understand.

First of all, the virtual live broadcast room only takes effect for designated groups. For example, Dean can specify "people who want to watch Kaitou Kid perform but are not present", then the nearest electronic device around these people will automatically display Kaitou Kid's name. Performance scene.

The advantage of this is that Dean can guarantee that at least 5,000 people will watch his performance every time, which is a fixed income of 5,000 exclamation points.

After all, he can't expect big tycoons to book the Cavaliers Stadium every time to accommodate so many spectators to watch Kaitou Kidd.

The places where Kaitou Kidd usually appears are museums or treasure troves. In such a scene, at most two to three thousand people can be accommodated at the same time. Most people cannot squeeze into the scene. They It can only be viewed via live media.

In the system's judgment, only people who have personally witnessed Kaitou Kidd's performance can provide exclamation points. Others who have seen it live through the media cannot provide exclamation points.

The existence of the virtual live broadcast room can just make up for this.

Not only that, the virtual live broadcast room has another benefit.
