"You accepted the Class Advancement Quest (Expert)."
"Quest Objective: Steal the troop deployment plans of Seth Fortress."
"Quest description: The Seth Fortress is the border fortress of the Sindore Empire. The Hilton Fortress is the border fortress of the Greenland Empire. The two countries have been at war for years. Now, the Sindore Empire has mobilized tens of thousands of troops and is settling them down in the Seth Fortress; it appears that they are preparing a big movement. Please steal the troop deployment plans of Seth Fortress and help the Hilton Fortress."
"Quest Reward: Advancement Certificate of the Tempest Thief (Expert)"
The description of the quest was that simple. It only briefly explained the background of the quest. As for where the deployment plans were, the situation in the Seth Fortress, and so on, there was nothing at all.
Everything had to be explored on his own.
He closed the quest menu and opened the skills menu.
Those skills appeared before Seuss again, but most of them were still gray.
Those skills could only be learned after advancing his class. Of course, some skills could not even be learned after he had advanced his class.
Stealth Enhancement (50 Silver Coins), Nighthawk Perception (60 Silver Coins), Steal (12 Silver Coins).
These two passive skills were the most expensive ones that could be learned before the class advancement. Just these two skills alone were almost enough to drain Seuss's vault.
The good thing was that as long as he killed the leader of the night cats, he would be rewarded with 100 gold coins. By then, he would not be short of money.
As for Seuss, this was necessary for the Class Advancement Quest. If not for the lack of gold coins on hand, Seuss would definitely increase the proficiency of this skill and level up.
He crushed the three skill books in his hands and learned the three skills.
Skill: Stealth Enhancement (Passive)
Skill Description: Walking in the shadows is the proudest ability of the thieves. However, shadows are only shadows and cannot block the light.
Skill Attribute: Stealth+20, within one second of entering Stealth, it would not be seen through.
Skill Limitation: Thief, any faction.
The other skill was also a passive skill.
Skill: Nighthawk Perception (Passive)
Skill Description: A nighthawk that flies in the sky relies on capturing the mice hidden underground as food. It can even detect the sound of the mice digging a hole a hundred yards away.
Skill Attribute: Perception+20, Perception+30 at night.
Skill Limit: Any faction, any class.
And Steal. This was an active skill.
Skill: Steal
Skill Description: There was once a king who lost his country because someone stole his letter and delayed a war.
Skill Effect: Able to steal items from a humanoid creature. The success rate of stealing is different depending on the level and luck.
Skill Limitation: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Goblin, Gnome, Demonkin
The success rate and level of the stealing skill were related to luck. In other words, if the other party's level was higher and luckier than Seuss, it would be very difficult for Seuss to successfully steal.
Luck was a hidden attribute, so one could not see it directly as of now.
If everyone's luck was the same, according to the formula given by the skill, as long as the level was higher than Seuss's level, there was no chance of success.
Once Steal had failed, he would be discovered and creatures that were stolen from would hunt you down relentlessly.
He then looked at the Thief Instructor's skill menu once more. To level up Steal required 12 gold coins, which was undoubtedly a huge sum for Seuss.
Furthermore, if he wanted to upgrade a skill, he needed to max out the proficiency of the skill.
After exiting the hall, Seuss walked through half of Kroll City and replenished his supplies.
Seuss now had a 20-slot default backpack and an extra 16-slot backpack. His backpack space was currently sufficient.
Every player could carry four extra backpacks. Including the basic backpack that they already had, it was equivalent to five backpacks.
"Brother Stars, are you ready? Do you want to go over and scout the way?" The message from Daydreamer came.
It was already half-past five so the time was nigh.
"Let us gather at the edge of the farm."
"No problem!"
…
Ten minutes later, from a distance, Seuss could see Daydreamer. A man about two meters tall was always striking no matter where he stood.
"Brother Stars, let me introduce you. This is Madman, and this is I am Number One," Daydreamer introduced the other two.
Madman was a warrior. He was no longer wearing a novice costume. With iron armor on his body, his defense looked good.
The other person, however, was someone Seuss didn't expect at all. It was actually I am Number One who was the fastest to reach level ten yesterday.
"You're very strong. I'm very impressed." I am Number One didn't have much to say. After saying those two words to Seuss, he immediately shut up.
"Haha." Daydreamer laughed. "Brother Number One's greatest hobby is to level up. In the past, he has never been surpassed by anyone. This time, he stumbled because of you."
"That's right." Madman added. "In the past, no one could surpass this guy. When you reached level ten, I was only level five. That's ridiculous!
"Level seven." Two more words came out from I am Number One.
"You're all freaks," Madman lamented.
Level seven? Seuss thought in his heart. When I reached level ten, it was only slightly past one in the afternoon. In other words, in less than eight hours, I am Number One has already reached level seven. He is indeed very fast.
"Number One is also at level 10 now. However, in order to level up faster, he only accepted a hard-level quest." Daydreamer interrupted him at the side. He turned around and said, "Brother Stars, why don't you introduce the leader of the night cats first?"
"Okay." Seuss agreed immediately.
"Opening certain treasure chests will attract monsters. You all should know this, right?" Seuss thought for a while and said.
"Indeed." Daydreamer guessed. "Are you saying that the leader of the night cats is the monster you attracted by opening the gold treasure chest?"
"That's right, the leader of the night cats is the guardian monster of that Gold Treasure Chest." Seuss thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about this BOSS. I can only tell you that it has ten thousand health points."
"Ten thousand points?" Madman exclaimed, "Isn't that twenty of me?"
It was quite unexpected that Madman's health points had already reached five hundred. With Daydreamer as a priest, and I am Number One as a mage, the chances of this team defeating the BOSS were quite high.
"Let's kill the BOSS and celebrate at the Kroll Hotel!" Daydreamer said generously.
