Chapter 130

With the strength that Shien had displayed, it was normal for him to be suspected.

If the results of the magic test conducted in the Adventurers Guild didn't match the truth, there was a high chance that he would be suspected of infiltration. He might even be suspected of being a spy from other countries or Demons.

Therefore, Shien was prepared to shift the blame to others. He didn't want to completely eliminate the suspicion, but at least he didn't want to give others a chance to find trouble with him.

That was also to prevent himself from getting involved in meaningless matters.

Anyway, Shien was already very familiar with shifting the blame to others. He didn't feel any psychological burden when using it, so naturally, the more the better, right?

But since Vivian said so, Shien felt that it might not be a bad thing for him to expose some of his abilities.

However, Shien was very clear about what he should expose and what he shouldn't.

Didn't Vivian say that he should "display a portion of his strength appropriately"?

Then …

"Actually, it's natural for you to be doubtful."

Shien spread his hands and said.

"But didn't the Adventurers Guild mention that the magic testing machine can't detect skills above level 7, 70 and above? It can't even detect unique skills and special skills, right?"

Shien made a fuss here.

"It's just like what you think. It's impossible that I'm only level 10, and it's impossible that I don't even have a single skill."

Let's not talk about what happened before. Now, Shien was indeed like that.

Shien said so.

"The reason why the magic testing machine only detected my level 10 is because of the effect of my unique skill."

Shien explained.

"Unique skill?" Baylon took a deep breath and said to Sean, "You mean, you have a unique skill?"

"That's right." Shien nodded and admitted while saying, "The effect of my unique skill is to adjust my level or skill level to a certain extent. This is why the magic testing machine detected that I'm only level 10 and that I don't have any skills."

After hearing Shien's explanation, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

"Adjust your level and skill?" Leon was extremely shocked. "Don't tell me you can decide your level and skill?"

Isn't this a little too overpowered?

"Of course not." Shien immediately denied. "I said it's a certain degree of adjustment, so there are restrictions and conditions."

Shien didn't even blink when he told such a lie.

But now, it shouldn't be a problem for Shien to tell such a lie.

Sean had learned a lot of the common knowledge of this world through the library of the Adventurers Guild, so he could fabricate to a certain extent without leaving a trace.

Now, in order to prevent others from suspecting his level and skill information, Shien simply made up his unique skill.

"As long as certain restrictions and conditions are met, then I can adjust my level and skill if they are met. This is the reason why I was able to defeat Beetho so easily."

Sean explained in a tone that mimicked an ambiguous answer.

"Don't ask me what kind of restrictions and conditions I have to meet, or how wide of a range I can adjust my level and skill. These are the important secrets of my unique skill. If they are exposed, it won't do me any good, and I might even be targeted. All you need to know is that I have a unique skill with this effect."

This was the excuse Shien had prepared.

If not, Shien wouldn't be able to explain his strength.

At first, Shien had wanted to simply tell everyone that he only had such strength because his level was higher than Beetho's. But after thinking about it carefully, if a twenty-year-old youth's level was higher than level 84, who knows what kind of commotion it would cause.

It was the same for skills. According to common sense, a twenty-year-old youth shouldn't be able to raise the level of his skill that high, or else Tierre wouldn't be hailed as a genius.

With that in mind, Shien simply pushed the problem to his unique skill.

(Since I can't push the blame to others, then I'll just blame it on my unique skill, right?)

Shien couldn't help but think so with some malice.

But this was indeed the most suitable explanation for Shien. Without too much explanation, it could perfectly explain the cause of everything.

"So that's how it is …" Baylon somewhat accepted this explanation and muttered, "If it's a unique skill, then anything can happen."

Lésia also once said that in this world, to determine a person's strength, one should first look at the effect of their unique skill, followed by their level and skills.

Unique skills could be said to be the most special power in this world. Really, anything could happen because of the appearance of this power.

It was precisely because of this that every country and every race paid special attention to people with unique skills.

And if Shien really did have a unique skill that could adjust his own level and skills to a certain extent, then it would not be so hard to accept that he could single-handedly kill Beetho at this age.

But …

"Although there are restrictions and conditions, it also means that as long as you can fulfill them, you can become so strong that even the level 84 Old Demons can't do anything to you, right?"

Eudilis looked at Shien with a complicated expression.

It was the same for Leon. His eyes were filled with admiration and even a little jealousy that could be clearly sensed by others.

If he had such a unique skill, then he wouldn't need to rely on women to get to the top.

Unfortunately, not everyone could have unique skills. Even across the three realms, only a very small number of people had unique skills. Even among the Protoss and Demons, there were a large number of people who did not have unique skills.

Whether or not one could obtain a unique skill was not dependent on talent, nor was it purely luck. Some people were born with it, while others could awaken it through various methods. There were many factors involved, and no one could figure out the rules.

Because of this, people who had unique skills were also known as the favorites of the times. Even if they had unique skills that could not be used in battle, they would still be envied by others.

Now, Shien had become one of them.

And this was the "part of strength" he chose to reveal.

This way, no one would look down on him in the future, and it would not let Shien receive too much attention.

(At least, this compromise is better than exposing my identity as a Hero, right?)

Shien was prepared to use this unique skill as an excuse to explain that his strength had improved greatly or that the strength he displayed was unnatural, and so on.

After all, whether it was using the Holy Sword or other cheats, the difference in strength before and after Shien was a little big. Having a suitable excuse was also very convenient for him.

Perhaps …

(This is also the result that Vivian wants, right?)

Shien glanced at Vivian.

Vivian probably wanted to tell Shien that he could hide his identity and hide his trump cards, but there was no need to keep hiding his strength.

In this world, only by possessing strength could one gain the respect of others.

Just like this time, if Shien had displayed strength that no one dared to offend from the beginning, then Baylon and the others would not have dared to openly fight for credit, right?

Of course, too much strength would also cause trouble. This was also the reason why Shien did not want to attract too much attention.

As the saying went, too much was as bad as not enough. Being too strong was not good, and being too weak was also a sin. Only the appropriate performance was the most appropriate.
