- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 56
Qin Feng looked at the skill book in his hand:
——
【Darkest Hour (Platinum Level): Assassin Skill. Unleash a burst of dark energy from your blade, blinding all enemies within range! Cooldown: 60 (34.3) seconds. Required Level: 10】
【Range: 20 meters】
【Base Duration: 10 seconds (The higher the target’s mental attributes, the shorter the duration)】
——
In simple terms, this is a blinding skill.
“Doesn’t this perfectly match my class traits?”
“As long as I blind the enemies, even if I’m not in stealth mode, I can still trigger double damage!”
Of course, this ‘blind’ status can be dispelled.
In PvP, you have to watch out for enemy healers with mass dispel abilities, or support classes like Paladins and Priests.
But when used against bosses, it’s pretty useful.
Even though bosses usually have high mental attributes, against a boss of the same level, it should still last for three to five seconds, which is good enough.
There’s only one thing to note.
Bosses have resistance to negative effects, so if the first blind lasts five seconds, the second time it might only last three seconds, and the third time even shorter.
“Learn.”
Qin Feng learned the skill ‘Darkest Hour.’
Aside from that, he also looted a higher-level platinum Assassin weapon from the Plague Wreath’s corpse!
——
【Plague Blade (Platinum): Assassin Weapon. Attack power: 216, Agility: 42. Critical Multiplier: 0.3. Required Level: 10】
【Unique Effect: All your attacks carry poison, which triggers after three seconds, dealing 50% of the attack’s damage.】
——
This unique effect is essentially a 50% damage boost for every attack!
Although the damage calculation happens after three seconds.
Compared to Qin Feng’s previous ‘Ghost Ship Twin Blades,’ which had a unique effect of dealing double damage with each normal attack…
“I’m not playing a normal attack build right now.”
“Switch to Plague Blade!”
Qin Feng swapped weapons.
As for the platinum-level Ghost Ship Twin Blades, they would be considered god-tier weapons for any other assassin.
At this stage, having a platinum weapon would at least double, maybe even triple, an assassin’s output!
“Selling it for 3,000 heaven coins shouldn’t be a problem.”
Qin Feng glanced at the remaining loot, but none of it was useful for an assassin, so he stored it all.
Next was evolution points.
The four silver-level bosses, plus the golden-level Plague Wreath, along with some small monsters killed along the way, had brought Qin Feng’s evolution points to 98.
“My damage is sufficient for now, and there’s no rush to evolve Darkest Hour.”
“I can save them and continue evolving the epic-level Greedy Hand to legendary.”
Qin Feng checked his skill list:
Shadow Cloak (Platinum): Requires 8 points to evolve.
Backstab Boost (Emerald): Requires 13 points to evolve.
Greedy Hand (Epic): Requires 210 points to evolve.
Venom Dart (Emerald): Requires 13 points to evolve.
Shadow Slash (Epic): Requires 210 points to evolve.
Ghost Blur (Epic): Requires 80 points to evolve.
Blessed Release (Legendary): Requires 200 points to evolve.
Black Light Shield (Epic): Requires 50 points to evolve.
There were also three skills—Bloom Curse, Gouge, and Darkest Hour—that hadn’t been evolved yet.
[TN: Sorry guys I cannot track
“Time to grind more monsters!”
…
The number of bosses in each starting town was quite limited.
Qin Feng had already wiped out most of the bosses in Firefly Town, and the respawn would take a long time.
“Still short of 10,000 experience. Let’s grind small monsters instead.”
Qin Feng equipped the ‘Plague Blade,’ boosting his agility and speed. In just ten minutes, he reached the coastline.
He resumed grinding level 10 monsters.
Each small monster gave 100 experience, so killing just over a hundred would give him the 50,000 experience needed for his first class advancement.
“Unfortunately, this forsaken game’s monsters don’t respawn as fast as in typical online games…”
“Otherwise, leveling up would be a breeze.”
It wasn’t easy to find monsters on the map.
For example, the lobster-like ‘Crimson Armor Beast’ was almost impossible to spot with the naked eye, as it was usually buried in the sand.
But since Qin Feng was solo,
In the eyes of these monsters, he was an easy target.
As soon as he passed by, monsters would sneak up on him.
Once they got close, they couldn’t escape—a single strike from Qin Feng would kill them instantly!
Just like that, by 8:30 PM, Qin Feng had finally accumulated the 50,000 experience points!
It would take 100,000 experience to reach level 11, so there was no rush.
In comparison, using the 50,000 experience for his first class advancement would yield a much more significant boost in power!
——
【Your Shadow Class has advanced!】
【Current: Tier 0 → Tier 1!】
【Class Attribute Boost: Strength 3 → 9, Constitution 3 → 9, Agility 8 → 24, Spirit 5 → 15!】
【Class Passive 1: Stealth duration doubled! New: You can now use stealth skills while in stealth!】
【Class Passive 2: Stealth level 1 → 2!】
【Class Passive 3: Attacks made while outside the enemy’s line of sight now deal triple damage (2x damage → 3x damage)!】
——
Simply leveling up, improving equipment, and upgrading skills wouldn’t get you far in Forsaken World.
Because leveling up was tough, and both equipment and skills had limits.
Once you reach level 10, class advancement becomes a critical part of boosting your power!
Originally, Qin Feng’s shadow class attribute boosts were Strength 3, Constitution 3, Agility 8, and Spirit 5.
After advancing to Tier 1, his attribute boosts had tripled!
Even more crucial were the improvements to the three class passives.
“Finally, seamless stealth!”
Qin Feng was excited about the new effect of the first class passive.
Previously, no stealth skills could be used while in stealth.
In other words, even if the stealth duration was longer than the cooldown time, you had to wait until stealth ended before using stealth skills again.
But now…
Qin Feng could use stealth skills while in stealth!
In other words, as long as he didn’t attack, he could remain permanently hidden!
“As the only hidden class, the Shadow class might seem average in the early game, but its late-game potential is undoubtedly strong.”
Qin Feng had high hopes for the class’s future.
This class advancement had increased his stealth level by 1, and also boosted the damage multiplier for attacks made outside the enemy’s line of sight from 2x to 3x!
“Higher damage output.”
“Just in time for my journey to the continent, where I’ll find a platinum-level boss for a first kill.”
Qin Feng checked the time.
It was 8:30 PM. By this point, many players had reached level 10.
However, to Qin Feng’s surprise, aside from him, the first players to reach level 10 weren’t the North American players he remembered from his previous life.
Instead…
They were players from Jianghai City!
And not just one or two—they reached level 10 in groups!
Of course, these level 10 players were all familiar faces.
“Not bad. It seems selling all those items and skill books worked in my favor.”
“The faster Jianghai City players level up, the sooner I can get to the continent!”
Qin Feng smiled.
As he completed his class advancement, the system also sent a notification.
The number of level 10 players in Jianghai City had reached seven, and the passage to the Forsaken Continent had finally opened!
Any player who reached level 10 could now return to the town and use the one-way teleport to the Forsaken Continent!
