Li Wei's question was whether the person number 47 who had just brought him in also possessed the 'Eye of Perception' skill.

This matter is very important to Li Wei.

The Eye of Perception is one of Li Wei's trump card skills. It can be said that it was because of this skill that he was able to become the fifty-first B-level powerhouse with the number 1987.

Li Wei had always believed that this skill was unique in the entire Shadow Street, and that no one else besides himself possessed it. However, this possibility was only something Li Wei himself had analyzed.

Is it actually possible?

The 'power' of Detection skills is no secret in Shadow Street. Li Wei's later analysis concluded that: First, these skills rely on mental power, and reincarnators with low mental power cannot learn them. Second, there are definitely more Detection skills than just the Eye of Perception; while not many people possess them, he is certainly not the only one. Third, those who possess such skills will not reveal this secret to others, just like he did, and such people are very rare.

However, right now, we've clearly encountered one.

Li Wei changed his expression and chuckled, saying, "Thank you for inviting me into the Shadow Hall. I'm not very familiar with this place yet, so I'll have to trouble you to give me some pointers, Boss Niu. But, is there really only 51 B-rank Reincarnators in Shadow Street? There don't seem to be that many people here!"

Seeing Li Wei's friendly demeanor, the minotaur nodded in satisfaction. "Of course, some of it involves completing quests in the game world, and some is done by exchanging points for game time... It's your first time here, so there's a lot to learn. Come on, let's find a place to sit down and chat!"

The enormous minotaur beckoned to Li Wei and led him to a secluded open-air tavern where they sat down.

Li Wei glanced behind him; the Vampire had followed.

"By the way, Boss Niu, I didn't identify myself when I knocked on the door. How did that guy recognize me?" Li Wei took a sip of his drink and asked casually.

"Well?"

The minotaur and the Vampire were both taken aback when they heard this, staring at Li Wei with strange looks. The latter thought he had given himself away.

However, Li Wei realized from the next sentence that he had been overthinking things.

"Haha, 1987, this is your first time here, so you don't know that the Shadow Hall sells a special skill. With it, you can see other people's IDs and ratings, which is quite convenient. Of course, you won't find this anywhere else!"

Li Wei was shocked!

"There's such a thing?"

Could it be the Eye of Perception? No, if it is the Eye of Perception, it can see much more than just the number and combat power rating.

"Where can I buy that thing? I want to go see it!" Li Wei's anxious expression was genuine, and the minotaur naturally interpreted it as the eagerness of this newly promoted B-rank individual to obtain that magical skill.

Indeed, such Detection skills are rare, and the ones sold by the Shadow Hall were said to have been obtained from a game world by that demon-like Number 7.

This player number 7, possessing the only 'Detection' skill, has earned a considerable number of points. I wonder which game world they obtained it from; if I knew, I'd be rich!

Leaving aside the minotaur's mindset, when he led Li Wei to a stall, the latter's reaction startled him.

Upon seeing the books on Detection Skill Book, the reincarnator Reincarnator No. 1987 was first taken aback, then fell into deep thought, and finally burst into laughter.

Is there anything more bizarre than this?

Could it be that he was too excited, which is why he behaved this way? The minotaur felt that this was the only explanation. Of course, he didn't care about that. What he cared about was that he seemed to have won over another B-level reincarnator today.

In this Shadow Hall, although there are only 50... now 51 Reincarnators, even such a small group has its own small groups. Of course, no one dares to provoke those prodigies whose numbers are in the top 10, but the others are in twos and threes, forming their own small teams.

When he first entered the Shadow Hall a few months ago, he was all alone. At that time, there were only a few reincarnators in the entire Shadow Hall. Later, the Vampire with the number 47 became his first ally.

Two people can't cause much trouble, but once they become B-level reincarnators, they all act all high and mighty, making it very difficult for him to win over allies.

Therefore, he set his sights on the vast number of low-level reincarnators, and number 99 was one of his subordinates. In the Shadow Hall, many reincarnators had their own external forces, and he was considered relatively weak. He originally wanted to wait for 99, who was rated C3, to advance to B-level, but when he heard that a reincarnator with the number 1987 had advanced to B-level, he knew that his opportunity had come.

Once this reincarnator is recruited into his team, his team will grow to three people—three B-rank individuals—capable of challenging A-rank dungeons. Only there can he obtain the key items for advancing to A-rank.

These are the real plans in the Tauren's mind; everything they've done is for advancement.

Li Wei was naturally unaware of these things. Now, looking at the several books on Detection skills mentioned by the Minotaur, he felt completely at ease.

Why?

Naturally, this is because these are not the 'Eye of Perception' that I've been worried about, but rather another F-rank skill called 'True Sight'.

Moreover, while others might not know, Li Wei could tell that these skills were man-made, meaning that someone possessed the ability to create Skill Book.

Such a person is indeed a terrifying existence, but Li Wei is glad that his 'Eye of Perception' is indeed his only skill, at least so far. Although the 'True Sight' ability is similar, it is far inferior.

In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone seeing through his abilities, which is why Li Wei laughed so hard.

Not only that, he also spent 7,000 points to buy a 'True Sight' skill book, because he knew that almost every reincarnator who entered the Shadow Hall would buy such a skill book, and if he didn't buy one, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

Even if I don't need it myself, I can give it to Zheng Yutong.

Next, the minotaur explained a lot about the Shadow Hall to Li Wei, but whenever the minotaur wanted Li Wei to sign his Teammate Contract, Li Wei would always change the subject.

Signature?

Dream on! Once the team members sign, they have to obey the captain. Li Wei wouldn't do something so foolish!

Just then, Li Wei saw a familiar face.

A reincarnator dressed in a wizard's robe appeared in his line of sight. Li Wei had an excellent memory; he had seen this reincarnator before, though they had only exchanged a few words, but the image remained vivid in Li Wei's mind.

Do you remember the wizard from the Resident Evil universe?

That's him!

At the same time that Li Wei saw the wizard, the wizard also saw Li Wei!

Neither of them spoke, but Li Wei saw murderous intent in the wizard's eyes.

The minotaur clearly sensed the sharp killing intent as well. When he turned his head and saw the wizard, his expression immediately changed.

"How could it be him? 1987... Did you offend that person before?" The minotaur's expression was extremely serious when he asked this question, which made Li Wei a little strange.

Judging from this, it seems that the minotaur is terrified of that wizard!

Li Wei's eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "Yes! Boss Niu, you know him?"

Upon hearing Li Wei say "yes," the minotaur stopped listening to what followed. After a long silence, he looked up and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm afraid I can't keep you here any longer. Take my advice: run, run as far away as possible, otherwise..."

Seemingly realizing something, the minotaur shuddered, quickly got up to say goodbye, and led the Vampire away from Li Wei's sight.

They're leaving already?

Li Wei was somewhat puzzled. Although he had intended to use the wizard to escape, he hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

Who exactly is that wizard?

"Reincarnator No. 13, Grand Wizard, Attributes Unknown, Rating B2, Special Skills Unknown!"

(I haven't had enough recommendation votes, so please give them more, thank you! Here's the first chapter!)
