Gargoyle Statue

This was Roger's first time seeing a spatial item since his transmigration.

This thing was incredibly rare.

In Tongma Town, it was said that only the lord himself possessed one.

But that was just a rumor.

And in Roger's memory.

The game from his previous life did have quite strict limitations on storage space. He had even complained to the designer back then about the 24-slot backpack being too small.

But now, looking at this storage item in his hand with a regular capacity of only 4 slots, Roger felt an urge to shed tears of joy!

Finally, he wouldn't have to carry five or six backpacks on his adventures anymore!

Objectively speaking.

The space provided by "Cowens's Stomach Pouch" wasn't actually that large.

There were only 4 slots in total.

Each slot's storage space was only slightly larger than a computer desk drawer.

But this greatly alleviated Roger's immediate problem.

Elemental Bottles, Magic Books, Magic Scrolls, Medicine Pouches and Finished Herbal Products, One-time Trap Items, One-time Lockpicking Items, Silver Horns and Copper Coins, Flint and Aluminum Strips (fire-starting tools)...

He stuffed everything small enough into it.

Looking at how neatly all the items were arranged inside "Cowens's Stomach Pouch."

Roger felt a surge of accomplishment.

The only regret was that when he found the stomach pouch, it was empty.

He wondered if the items inside were erased by a spell the Corpse Demon had set beforehand when it died, or if it was simply empty from the start.

Besides "Cowens's Stomach Pouch," the other two pieces of equipment also had their unique aspects.

First was the leather armor Roger had chosen earliest.

"Dragon Lizard Leather Armor"

"Rating: S"

"Defense 9 Texture 11 Hardness 3 Durability 7"

"Special Effect: Dragon Lizard's Guardian (One-time)"

"Dragon Lizard's Guardian: Automatically triggers when taking a large amount of damage for a short period. The surface of the leather armor will generate a sturdy keratin layer composed of a white film, which can greatly immunize against Physical Attack."

Even though it was a one-time powerful defense, it was worthy of an S-rank evaluation.

For adventurers, such an effect was sometimes equivalent to a life!

Coincidentally, Roger's leather armor had been heavily damaged in the previous Extreme Flame Storm.

Not only was its shape ugly, but its durability had also plummeted. It was estimated that if he continued to drag his feet, it would have to be completely reforged.

He simply put on the "Dragon Lizard Leather Armor" directly.

"Although the coating of 'Cold Fish Grease' can indeed resist the invasion of flames, ordinary clothing will still be damaged."

"So, I still need to be careful when using Extreme Flame Storm, or perhaps, next time I use it, I can consider going naked..."

Roger's mind flashed with many strange combat strategies.

He casually placed the third piece of equipment in his palm, preparing to use the Qi Divination Technique for a detailed appraisal.

"Qi Divination Technique is truly useful."

Roger praised it in his heart again.

As a unique feat of the Hidden Hero, the effectiveness of Qi Divination Technique far surpassed that of other common feats.

It could be perfectly applied in multiple fields: The first field was Divination.

Although it sounded a bit ridiculous, Qi Divination Technique did possess a certain divination ability.

Roger only needed to silently recite the matter he wanted to divine in his heart, and Qi Divination Technique would automatically deduce the fortune or misfortune of the related matter.

Of course, it was limited to fortune or misfortune.

For example.

The neighbor's dog went missing.

Roger couldn't use Qi Divination Technique to find the dog, but he could use it to divine things like "the probability of successfully finding the dog today" or "the probability of the dog being eaten by Monsters."

Overall, it was a rather vague judgment, but sometimes it had miraculous effects.

The second domain is "Insight into Creatures."

By gaining insight into a target creature, Roger could acquire some information before the two sides even clashed.

As the interaction between them deepened, this information would gradually evolve, becoming more detailed and closer to the truth.

In this regard, Roger didn't particularly rely on the Qi Divination Technique.

Both the Red Tide Corpse Queen and the Corpse Demon had proven that the Qi Divination Technique had flaws.

So, he still preferred to explore more in-depth and reliable answers through his own observation and probing during combat.

The Qi Divination Technique could only obtain the superficial, shallow information flow of monsters.

But the trump cards hidden beneath this shallow information...

were what Roger truly cared about!

The third domain is "Appraise Items."

This one is easier to understand; it can be used like "Appraisal" in fantasy games.

The Qi Divination Technique often had two modes when appraising items.

The first type was screening.

This was the mode Roger used just now when picking equipment.

In screening mode, the Qi Divination Technique could scan a large number of items roughly at the same time.

Through the different colors steaming from the items, Roger could make a general judgment about their quality.

Currently, he had only seen four colors.

Gray-white meant common goods, light green represented normal quality, and azure symbolized excellent quality.

Then there was purple.

Purple was not necessarily better than blue, but it was definitely rarer than blue.

There could even be "Oddities" that were a mix of good and bad.

Compared to the screening type, the second mode was individual appraisal.

The Qi Divination Technique had a very high success rate in appraising items.

He didn't even need to find a professional appraiser.

In this regard, it could be said that he saved Roger quite a bit of money.

In summary, the Qi Divination Technique had very broad uses.

If it didn't consume so much Stamina and Energy, Roger would have loved to keep it active twenty-four hours a day.

Below the "Qi Divination Technique" Feat, there was a long, slender, light yellow progress bar, which was now very close to completion.

This was a sign that the Feat was about to level up.

"I hope that after leveling up, at the very least, the consumption will be reduced a bit."

Roger genuinely hoped.

After a thought.

The item he held in his palm received its appraisal result.

"Gargoyle Statue (Forbidden Item)"

"Rating: ?"

"????"

"Seal: A Gargoyle of unknown level is sealed within."

"Unsealing Method: ???"

Roger's expression showed a slight surprise.

This was the first time he had encountered an item with so many question marks.

Although it wasn't an Oddity, the word "Forbidden Item" seemed to herald the extraordinary nature of the Gargoyle Statue.

After a brief, fruitless study, Roger carefully put away the Gargoyle Statue.

This thing was definitely extraordinary; he just hadn't discovered its specific use yet.

He would surely discover something by studying it slowly in the future.

After organizing his Loot, Roger didn't even have time to stretch before opening his character panel.

In the battle where he killed the Corpse Demon, he leveled up 4 times. Excluding the Charge Up effect, his own strength had also improved slightly.

First were the Attribute Points and new Skills.

The Hidden Hero class grants one free attribute point every 5 levels and a new combat skill every 4 levels.

He currently has 1 free attribute point.

With nothing to hesitate about, Roger directly put it into "Agility."

This is the Hidden Hero's primary attribute, so he'll max it out first.

His Agility then increased to 12 points.

The two new skills are as follows:

"Treading on the Moon: When in moonlight, your running speed significantly increases."

"Dismantle Traps: You can dismantle some common traps with your bare hands."
