Previously triggered announcements were basically all regional announcements, and the players of Yunbian Town more or less all knew about [Rulebound], so whether it was hidden or not did not make much difference.
But the difference between a server-wide announcement and a regional announcement was huge.
"There are always people stronger than you, and there is always a higher sky."
"Exposing yourself too early in front of hundreds of millions of players across the entire server will inevitably bring trouble upon yourself."
So Lin Mo decisively chose "Hide".
The next second.
[Server-wide Announcement (Dragon Nation Server): "Ding~ Congratulations to player **** for obtaining an SSS-grade skill. As the first player on the Dragon Nation server to obtain an SSS-grade skill, you have completed the achievement Tactical Master and received rewards: Gold Coins +10, Reputation +100, Permanent Skill Slots +3! Title obtained: Tactical Master."]
[Server-wide Announcement (Dragon Nation Server): "Ding..."]
[Server-wide Announcement (Dragon Nation Server): "Ding..."]
Three consecutive system announcements resounded across the lands north and south of the Divine Oracle world. Without a doubt, once again, they sent hundreds of millions of players on the entire Dragon Nation server into a frenzy.

[Divine Oracle Official Forum]
It exploded again.
["Holy shit! An SSS-grade skill??"]
["The officials keep saying the game emphasizes absolute fairness, justice, and balance. Planner, come out here! The damn server has only been open for two days, where the hell did an SSS-grade skill come from? Answer me!"]
["Yeah! If you said it was from recharging, fine, but this game hasn't even opened the recharge function. How the hell did someone get an SSS skill?"]
["I can't even afford an E-grade skill book that costs five silver coins from the instructor… damn pay-to-win bastard!"]
["Doesn't necessarily mean cheating. Aren't there lottery rewards in the leveling rankings? Maybe they pulled first prize!"]
["Which brother got the SSS-grade skill? Interested in selling it? I'll pay five million RMB!"]
["Fuck! Why is it that when I draw from the lottery, I only get a trash E-grade skill book? If I were the one who drew an SSS-grade skill, I'd lie flat for the rest of my life! Five million ahhhh!"]

[No. 116 Beginner Village, Yunbian Town]
Lin Mo impatiently glanced at the skill in his hand, evolved from D-grade to SSS-grade—
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Heaven-Slaying: Seven Star Volley] (Archer · SSS-grade Skill):
— Skill Effect: Locks onto a single target and instantly fires seven Star Radiance Arrows. Each star arrow deals 100% physical damage (if the enemy is killed midway, the remaining attacks will automatically chase another nearby enemy).
— Special Effect 1: Each star arrow stuns the enemy for 0.5 seconds.
— Special Effect 2: When continuously hitting the same enemy, each star arrow's damage increases by 3%.
— Special Effect 3: Converts 50% of the skill's total damage into a Star Radiance Shield, applied to oneself or a teammate, lasting 10 seconds.
— Cooldown: 15 seconds.
— Skill Cost: 48 mana points.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At this moment.
Lin Mo's heartbeat suddenly sped up.
The blood throughout his body was burning and boiling.
"700% damage multiplier?"
"Three major special effects?"
No, to be precise, when combined with the skill's second special effect.
If this skill's damage is fully stacked, it should be able to deal to a single enemy: 100% + 103% + 106.09% + 109.27% + 112.55% + 115.93% + 119.41%!
A total of 766% damage.
"Holy shit!"
Lin Mo could not help shouting out loud.
This SSS-grade skill was way too insane.
It was definitely worth the 126 skill evolution points Lin Mo spent to evolve this rapid shot skill from D-grade to SSS-grade.
Based on the purchase value of two thousand yuan per evolution point, this single skill was equivalent to smashing in a total of 252,000 RMB.
Originally, Lin Mo still felt some pain in his heart, but at this moment, seeing the strength of this SSS-grade skill, he instantly felt that the twenty-plus ten-thousands were spent incredibly well.
Without another word, Lin Mo immediately learned [Heaven-Slaying: Seven Star Volley].
Someone who had not even touched a B-grade skill in his previous life was now using an SSS-grade skill.
One SSS-grade skill occupied as many as 8 skill slots.
However, for every 3 levels he gained 1 slot, plus 1 from job advancement, 3 obtained from the instructor, 5 levels gained from an A-grade magic scroll skill expansion, and the 3 slots just rewarded by the system achievement.
Lin Mo now had a total of 16 skill slots.
After removing the 8 taken by Seven-Star Rapid Shot, there were 8 left, just enough to learn another SSS-grade skill.
It was just a pity that the 22 remaining skill evolution points Lin Mo had were no longer enough to evolve a second SSS-grade skill.
"Still have to wait a bit longer."
"When more people reach level 10, I'll go collect skill books."
By then, Lin Mo would not need to spend two thousand anymore.
One thousand would be enough to get a book.
That saves half.
Equivalent to saving over a hundred thousand yuan when evolving one SSS-grade skill. That was extremely cost-effective.
After all, Lin Mo had only just saved up assets of 1.08 million, and because of this one skill, it instantly dropped to 780,000.
It was like having a huge chunk of flesh dug out of his body. No matter how you put it, saying it didn't hurt would be a lie.
Fortunately, the 10 gold coins just rewarded by the system, when converted, were equal to one hundred thousand yuan, letting Lin Mo recover a bit.
Lin Mo then looked at the title rewarded by the system.
To his pleasant surprise, breaking away from the usual white, it was actually a purple-quality top-tier title.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Tactical Master] (Title)
— Quality: Purple
— Title Attribute: Player skill strength +10%
— Description: A symbol of honor for the first powerhouse on the Divine Oracle Dragon Nation server to obtain an SSS-grade skill.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Increases skill strength by 10%?"
Lin Mo subconsciously opened Seven-Star Rapid Shot again and took another look.
He was shocked to find that under the bonus from the Tactical Master title, the single-hit damage multiplier of Seven-Star Rapid Shot increased to 110%.
Not only damage, even the strength of the special effects had been enhanced.
Each star arrow stunned the enemy for 0.55 seconds.
Damage increase when hitting the same enemy became 3.3%.
Star Radiance Shield conversion rate became 55%.
"Holy shit!"
"This purple title is awesome!"
Lin Mo once again felt his blood boiling.
"Mhm! It's time to advance to the Tier 3 main city."
Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.
Next, he followed the east gate of Yunbian Town and left the small town.
Because the only teleportation array that could lead to the Tier 3 main city was in the eastern outskirts of Yunbian Town.
Just after leaving the town.
Ding!
[Player Dongxue has applied to add you as a friend via ID search!]
'Dongxue?'
"Isn't that Su Yingxia's former college roommate and so-called plastic bestie, Xu Dongmei?"
Back in college, when Lin Mo was dating Su Yingxia, she was always whispering bad things about Lin Mo into Su Yingxia's ear.
She never once looked at Lin Mo properly.
On the surface she wore glasses and looked gentle and refined, but in reality she was extremely scheming.
Now that she saw Lin Mo doing so well in Divine Oracle, she wanted to come suck up to him?
"Perfect, the journey is boring anyway."
"I really want to see how you're going to lick me."
As he spoke, Lin Mo accepted Xu Dongmei's friend request with great interest.
While heading toward the teleportation array.
Xu Dongmei sent a message.
[Lin Mo, Yingxia is being bullied. Come save her quickly!]
