The leveling spot Qin Chuan chose was the Wild Boar Plains, where the monster level starts at Level 5.
At this Time, basically no players came here.
With a glance, Qin Chuan quickly locked onto a target.
[Wild Boar]
Level: 5
HP: 500
Attack: 50
Defense: 30
Skill: Charge
...
"With my current stats, using Shadow Dagger at a distance of thirty meters can only deal 185 points of true damage. It takes three hits to kill a Wild Boar, which is too low."
Qin Chuan thought to himself.
If other players knew what he was thinking, they would definitely spit in his face.
What do you mean "only" 185 damage?
Listen to yourself, is that even human language!
We stab rabbits with small knives, and getting five or six points of damage per hit is good enough. You're dealing nearly two hundred damage, what more could you be dissatisfied with!
And you're hitting a Level 5 Boar with thirty defense!
At this stage, ordinary players can't even break the Wild Boar's defense.
But Qin Chuan possessed an SSS-grade Talentand a hidden profession, so naturally, he sought higher limits.
So he set his sights on the beast skull.
This thing comes with one evolution point, can't waste it.
His damage source, aside from the Sniper God's bonus, largely came from the damage upon breaking Stealth.
Unfortunately, his talent wasn't within the beast skull's scope of effect, otherwise Qin Chuan would definitely evolve the Sniper God.
This first evolution opportunity could only be given to Shadow Stealth.
Holding the beast skull in his hand, Qin Chuanused it directly.
"First evolution consumes 1 evolution point. Evolve Shadow Stealth?"
"Yes!"
"Ding, Shadow Stealth has evolved! Quality improved, Normal → black iron grade!"
In Apocalypse, whether it's equipment or skills, they follow the same quality grading rules.
From lowest to highest, they are Normal, black iron grade, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, epic, Legendary, a total of eight grades.
Of course, Qin Chuan knew that there were higher grades above Legendary, but players couldn't access them at this stage.
Actually, if it were possible, Qin Chuan would have wanted to evolve the beast skull.
But this item wasn't equipment, it was an item, and not within the scope of effect.
"As expected of Apocalypse, which focuses on balance, it directly prevented players from exploiting bugs."
Qin Chuan felt a bit regretful.
He then checked the new attributes of Shadow Stealth.
Shadow Stealth LV1 (black iron grade, enter Stealth state, damage upon breaking Stealth deals an additional (Attack * 120% + 50) damage, consumes 5 mana, cooldown 18 seconds)
What is a qualitative change?
This is it!
Just by increasing from Normal to black iron grade, Shadow Stealth's various attributes increased dramatically.
The 20% increase in attack multiplier might not show much in the early stage, but in the later stage, when players' attack reaches ten thousand or even higher, this 20% becomes very significant.
Of course, that's for the mid to late game; in the early game, fixed damage is what matters.
And this evolution also more than doubled the fixed damage.
It made Qin Chuan's damage capability soar directly.
It even reduced the cooldown by two seconds.
Perfect, absolutely perfect.
Qin Chuan looked at the slightly dimmed beast skull in his hand, his inner joy immeasurable.
No wonder that player in his previous Life, despite starting a month later, could catch up and surpass others, eventually ranking among the top ten experts.
This beast skull contributed greatly!
To be honest, if that player's talent hadn't been slightly lacking and they hadn't just been an ordinary profession, perhaps their achievements would have been even higher!
"I have an SSS-grade Talent and am the only hidden profession. With the help of the beast skull, surpassing my past self is already within reach. I want to reach an even higher Peak!"
Qin Chuan became even more excited.
He then looked at the distant Wild Boar again, without the slightest hesitation, and directly threw a Shadow Dagger.
Dark energy condensed in Qin Chuan's hand, transforming into a sharp blade that flew out rapidly.
Qin Chuan could clearly feel that the moment he made his move, an invisible force corrected his posture, making him throw faster and more accurately.
"It's the Sniper God's hidden effect. Looking at this, perhaps thirty meters isn't my limit."
Qin Chuan thought to himself.
He initially set thirty meters based on calculations from his previous Life's experience.
After all, level one players don't have high stats, and their capabilities are limited.
However, currently, it seems the Sniper God's effect is not just literal but also has other functions.
While Qin Chuan was thinking, the Shadow Dagger had already crossed the thirty-meter distance and accurately hit the Wild Boar's abdomen.
-329!
The huge damage number floated up, causing the Wild Boar's health bar to instantly drop by a large chunk.
Qin Chuan felt a bit of pity that it wasn't a critical hit, otherwise, it would have been an instant kill.
"Perhaps, next time I can aim for vital points like the eyes. With the Sniper God's correction, I'll likely hit."
Qin Chuan secretly calculated.
The distant Wild Boar, encountering the sudden attack, immediately became furious, quickly locked onto Qin Chuan, and lowered its head, preparing to charge.
However, the next second, the Wild Boar lost its target and couldn't help but feel bewildered.
What happened?
Wasn't there someone just now? Where did he go?
Could it have seen wrong?
So, was there anyone or not?
Perhaps there was.
The Wild Boar couldn't quite figure it out, then decided it was too lazy to think further and prepared to continue lowering its head to graze.
For some reason, it always felt very hungry, as if its body had been hollowed out.
In the Shadow in the distance, Qin Chuanpondered for a moment, then stood still, waiting for his skill cooldown.
Ten seconds later, Shadow Dagger's cooldown was complete, and Qin Chuan directly threw a dagger.
This time, however, he intentionally aimed at the Wild Boar's eyes.
-494! (Weak Point Attack)
The huge damage number floated up from above the Wild Boar's head. The Wild Boar, which was grazing to recover health, fell to the ground and died instantly without a sound.
"Ding, you have killed a Level 5 Boar, gaining 50 experience points. Killing a monster 4 levels higher grants an additional 20 experience points."
A total of 70 experience points obtained.
Qin Chuan himself felt a little embarrassed.
You know, in his previous Life, he had an A-grade talent and the Heavy Armor Warrior profession with outstanding defense, yet he could only kill monsters one or two levels higher at most, and it was very slow.
That was already considered good.
Ordinary players, however, needed to team up to kill monsters. The experience was already low, and it had to be split among several people, so leveling up was incredibly slow.
However, compared to the high experience, Qin Chuan cared more about the idea he had just verified.
Qin Chuan, who emerged from the Shadow, fell into contemplation.
"Indeed, the Sniper God talent corrects actions to the point of hitting whatever you aim at. Now, even if I'm not a top-tier dagger expert, I'm at least a first-rate expert."
With this discovery, Qin Chuan immediately modified his leveling plan.
At a distance of thirty meters, a weak point attack couldn't instantly kill a Level 5 Boar; it was just a little bit short on damage.
But it wasn't a big problem.
From the two Shadow Daggers just now, Qin Chuan also had a new discovery.
That is, the distance of thirty meters was not his current limit at all.
Qin Chuan couldn't increase his attack power, but he could take two steps back and increase the distance to thirty-five meters or even fifty meters.
It's no exaggeration to say that Qin Chuan felt he could accurately hit a Wild Boar from over a hundred meters away.
This was the confidence the Sniper God talent brought him.
And at a distance of a hundred meters, with a ten-fold damage increase combined with the high base value of the damage upon breaking Stealth, Qin Chuan didn't even dare to imagine how much damage he could deal.
Assassin plus Sniper God, even Gods are hard to guard against!
