Chapter 4 - Skill

"Where are you? Come to the blacksmith shop," the discussion group was silent for a while, and the future union elder "Root 3" responded. It might be that Alex suppressed the anger of the crowd again and met Luke's request.

Not long after, the hunter Square Root of Three saw Luke. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.

This guy who swore that he could earn 20 gold in a week, was left with only a pair of underwear that the system forced him to not wear out...

However, Luke's expression was so calm. No one had ever been so calm while naked. Square Root of Three never gave up hope and silently traded a dagger and ten small breads to Luke.

Sharp Dagger (Normal): Damage 1-2, Required Level 0, Durability 8/10. Slightly better than the novice weapon.

"By the way, has the seal skill book been printed out?"

Root Three shook his head, hesitated for a moment and asked, "You are playing a Rogue, right? What do you want the seal skill book for? Are you asking for it for your friend?"

"Seal Transfiguration" is a Druid's transformation skill book. There is a certain chance that the little imps by the lake will drop it. The aquatic form has no extended skills, and it is useless for the Druid to learn it, but Luke specifically requested this book.

"Yes, I have a friend who needs this skill book. Just remember to leave it to me. Whether I can come up with 20 gold within a week depends entirely on it," Luke said casually, and put his hand with the ring behind his back without leaving any trace.

"Don't worry, I will organize more people to kill the little demons," Square Root Three's expression suddenly became serious. He answered the private chat on the spot and arranged people to kill the skill books.

"See you later," Luke waved the newly acquired dagger in his hand, turned around and left the village to fight monsters.

The Rogue has three skills when he is born: Shadow Strike, Stealth, and Lock Picking. In addition, the night elf race also has an active stealth skill - "Shadow Escape".

Stealth: Instant, 8 seconds cooldown, allows the rogue to hide until the stealth state is canceled.

Shadow Strike: Instant, 4 seconds cooldown, deals 2 damage to the target, adds 120% additional normal weapon damage, awards a combo point, current level 1/1000.

Unlocking: 10 seconds to cast, 2 minutes cooldown, opens locked boxes and doors, current level 1/1000.

Luke did not pounce on a monster directly, but instead activated stealth when he was eight yards away from the monster.

At this time, we need to talk about the difference between free mode and smart mode.

In intelligent mode, the system will guide or even control the player to perform skills in a proper manner, and there will be no skill failure due to operational problems. However, in free mode, any accident may cause the skill to fail.

Just like now.

Snap, a piece of dead branch was stepped on, making a crisp sound.

The wild boar cub pricked up its ears, grunted twice, and immediately charged towards Luke.

After all, he was not a professional Rogue player in his previous life, so Luke had no choice but to show up and fight the wild boar cub with real swords and guns.

Slash the boar with one knife, -6!

Being pushed by a boar, -9!

You hit me, I hit you, and we completely change our fighting style.

Root Three, who was observing him from a distance, couldn't help but frown. He didn't know thieves very well, but looking at this guy in front of him who couldn't even sneak around, he didn't look like a master at all.

Stealth in smart mode may not be invulnerable, but there is no risk of being discovered by monsters.

The future vice president of the Moonblade Guild left disappointed. In his heart, Luke was much closer to the liar.

Square Root of Three did not see Luke's second fight with monsters, otherwise he would have a much better impression of Luke.

The second time, Luke's stealth did not fail. He successfully came behind a wild boar cub, aimed at the hind leg, sank his wrist, and slammed down diagonally.

Blood splattered everywhere, -11!

System: Shadow Strike skill completion rate is 82%, causing 93% skill damage, and the target is stunned for 1 second!

Dizzy!

This is free mode!

The free mode that makes people love and hate it!

Don't think that it was easy for Luke to achieve 82% completion. We can say without hesitation that Luke's 82% was simply a result of luck.

It's not that no one chooses free mode now, but their completion rate generally does not exceed 50%. And 50% completion rate can only bring 40% skill damage, which is far lower than 100% in smart mode.

In Luke's previous life, the free mode would not become mainstream until three years after the game was released.

In the next few times of killing monsters, Luke's highest completion rate was only about 60%, and his efficiency was not even as good as that of ordinary players. After all, he was not a serious free mode player in his previous life.

Therefore, although rebirth can give him many advantages, it does not mean that he is omnipotent.

He was not in a hurry and just quietly killed the wild boar cubs while practicing his skill proficiency and completion.

Being a professional gamer is a very boring job. Sometimes patience is more important than talent. Luke, who made a living by repeatedly killing monsters and earning gold coins in his previous life, is a very patient person.

The completion rate continued to break records, and by the time the level 0 experience was upgraded to level 1, his completion rate had stabilized at more than 70%, and his skill damage was almost close to 90%, so the gap between him and ordinary players was not that big.

The mission requirement of 30 wild boar baby teeth has already been exceeded.

I picked up forty or fifty copper coins and a dozen wild boar skins, but no equipment.

I returned to hand in the task and received 300 experience points, 20 copper coins, and a woven cloak (ordinary): armor 3, level requirement 1, durability 10/10.

A wild boar skin was sold for two copper coins and could be directly thrown into the store, and Luke's personal assets reached one silver coin.

However, after he repaired his equipment and bought ten loaves of bread, the silver coin he had just obtained immediately shrank by more than half, leaving almost nothing.

In the game "Dawn", you will gain five free attributes every time you level up.

After hesitating for a moment, Luke gritted his teeth and added all five new attribute points to agility.

Although it is not as much as the strength bonus, agility can also increase attack, and it can also increase movement speed and attack speed. Most importantly, the agility of the Rogue can enhance critical damage and dodge probability.

The thieves in Dawn are mainly divided into two schools, one is the Subtle Rogue that stacks agility, the other is the Violent Combat Rogue that stacks strength as much as possible. It is hard to say which one is better, as each faction has top masters. But for Luke, who is used to working alone, the Subtle Rogue will bring higher returns.

After the upgrade, there are two new tasks - Nightblade Leopard Fur, which can only be obtained by killing a level 2 Nightblade Leopard. In addition, there is a task called Corrupted Magic Moss, which is a gathering task and takes place near the shore of Moonshadow Lake.

First kill thirty Night Sabre cubs, complete the remaining level zero tasks, and then go kill the Night Sabre Leopards.

The Nightblade Leopard is a very good monster for leveling. It has low health and average defense. For a Rogue who attacks first, the monster can be killed in two hits at most. In addition to its fur, the Nightblade Leopard will also drop some equipment, and may even drop the mage's "Ice Lance" and the druid's "Claw Crack" and "Transform into Cheetah" skill books.

Of course, this depends on luck, and Luke's luck is not that good. He has been grinding for half an hour but hasn't seen any skill books.

Stealth, Shadow Strike, -19!

The Shadow Strike skill had a completion rate of 73% and caused 81% of the damage. Two more daggers stabbed at it, and the Night Blade Leopard screamed and fell to the ground.

There was a ding sound, and Luke's heart skipped a beat. It was not the sound of copper coins, but equipment, and it was a weapon.

After kicking the Night Blade Leopard's corpse away, a staff about one meter long and emerald green appeared in front of him.

Apprentice Staff (Normal): Damage 5-7, Equipment Required Level 2, Durability 3\10.

It's definitely a good thing. Although it's still of ordinary grade, its damage is terrifyingly high. As far as level 2 weapons are concerned, it's considered top-notch equipment.

With equipment comes motivation, and Luke is no exception, he works harder to kill monsters.

Not long after, the second piece of equipment came to report.

Fisherman's Felt Hat (Ordinary): Armor 2, Equipment Requirement Level 1, Durability 8\10.

It is much worse than the staff, but Luke can use it immediately. After wearing it, it will enhance the armor and the damage taken when fighting monsters will be much less, which is a disguised way to improve the efficiency of monster killing.

While killing monsters, Luke suddenly felt the sensor on his waist vibrating.

He quickly stabbed the monster in his hand to death and picked up a copper coin before confirming the dialogue request.

"The 'Transformation Seal' skill book you requested has appeared..."
