Perhaps due to habitual thinking, reaching the standard level, and then completing the job transfer task has always been the basic routine of the game.
Although Jiang Han deeply understands that this game is unique, he never thought that even the job transfer task could be carried out in advance.
"Now, you have entered a brand new stage and can learn new skills," Cheryl reminded, waving her hand in the air, and the skill bar appeared in Jiang Han's field of vision.
"All right."
Jiang Han nodded and carefully examined the new skills he could learn—
[Sinful Spirit] (Passive) (B-grade)
Introduction: As an undead creature, naturally exudes an aura of evil that terrifies the masses.
Effect: Increases attack by 20%.
Required Level: 50
Occupational Requirement: Undead-class occupation
Price: 25 gold coins
[Riding] (B-grade)
Introduction: Although it is not of high grade, it is a universal skill. Without it, no matter how powerful your mount is, you can only stare blankly.
Effect: Can ride mounts and gain certain attribute bonuses through mounts.
Cooldown: None
Required Level: 50
Price: 25 gold coins
[Bone-breaking Strike] (A-grade)
Introduction: Most creatures have skeletons. Breaking their bones forcefully will greatly affect both their movement and attack.
Effect: Deals 150% damage to a single enemy, with a chance to trigger the bone-breaking effect, lasting for thirty seconds (Bone-breaking: Different debuffs based on the bone-breaking location).
Cooldown: One minute
Required Level: 50
Price: 50 gold coins
...
To be honest, it's a bit expensive.
When learning the Grip of Undeath and Death Strike initially, it only cost three gold coins in total. Now, the combined cost of these three skills is one hundred gold coins, equivalent to over fifteen thousand dollars. However, they are all very powerful skills, and Jiang Han can only willingly pay the price.
No need to say much about the Sinful Spirit; this passive skill is equivalent to unconditional attack enhancement. Not learning it would be foolish. Riding is a must-have, or else learning it would be useless even if you have a powerful mount.
As for the Bone-breaking Strike, it seems quite interesting from the introduction, and it's an A-grade skill. No matter what, it won't be a loss. Besides, how can you complain about having too many skills? It may not be necessary for them all to be strong, but Jiang Han must know them.
"Speaking of which, you should have been the mayor of the Ice and Snow Town..."
Cheryl seemed to recall something and said, "I heard that the Demon God Lolei's move was too powerful and destroyed the town?"
"...Yes."
Jiang Han nodded.
In fact, it should be the aftermath of the battle between Lolei and the Sword God that destroyed the town, but the specific situation is not easy to explain. He can only conceal it.
"Master suggests you find a suitable town as a place to rest on weekdays," Cheryl said seriously, "Align with a force, which can help you avoid many unnecessary troubles."
"Don't worry, disciple knows what to do." Jiang Han agreed wholeheartedly.
Perhaps due to the constraints of the rules, the mentor is worried and can't say things too clearly, but Jiang Han understands it very well. Aligning with a force, if there is a future war, it will be dominated by the force. Choosing to act alone, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be involuntarily involved in a mysterious battle. So far, the two SS-grade mainline tasks he received were not agreed upon by him; they were all forcibly accepted.
If the system targets him and forces an SSS-grade mainline task, he will undoubtedly die.
Based on past experience, tasks like attacking or defending a city are also related to the level of the city. This is why, even though Jiang Han's strength has improved, Cheryl still suggests that his resting place be a "suitable town" rather than a city.
"You... understand, that's good."
Cheryl's gaze revealed a hint of meaningful satisfaction, nodding in approval.
Although his disciple usually likes to make harmless jokes, he shows high understanding at critical moments.
"Now that you have learned the skills, it's time for me to find a suitable mount in the realm you mentioned and then go to guard the Seaheart City."
"Okay, Master, take care!"
...
Watching Cheryl leave, Jiang Han knew that he probably didn't need to come back to the Ghost Swamp in the future.
Later, he opened the package and checked the rewards given by the system to the first second-tier player, a fiery red bead—
[Enhancement Bead] (A-grade)
Introduction: A rare bead that can make equipment more powerful.
Effect: Can freely choose one piece of equipment to enhance its strength (Note: It is highly probable that it will increase the required level, please use with caution).
Restriction: Effective on earth-grade and below equipment.
...
"A 100% chance of enhancement?" Jiang Han was quite surprised.
When he first saw the words "Enhancement Bead," he thought that "Eternal" would follow the usual route of other games, with enhancements like +1, +2. It seems that it's not the case.
This is a good thing!
After all, the operation of enhancing equipment, a gamble, in other games, would be tightly controlled by the official. In the early stages, a high probability is okay, but later on, 10% probability practically means having 5%, which is not good at all, even for dogs.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Do you want to use the item [Enhancement Bead]?
"Yes!"
Jiang Han agreed on the spot.
First come, first served!
Now it's not like the early days when players' levels and strength improvement rates have slowed down. Waiting until he gets earth-grade equipment before using it would actually devalue the Enhancement Bead.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Please choose one piece of equipment for enhancement!
"Bloody Devouring Sword!"
Jiang Han chose the weapon without hesitation.
The weapon is the best choice for increasing leveling speed, and the Bloody Devouring Sword requires a level of 35, so no matter how he improves now, he can still use it.
"Swoosh!"
The next moment, the bead disappeared, turning into a stream of energy flowing into the slender blade of the Bloody Devouring Sword, causing it to radiate a dazzling crimson light. The sharpness was fully revealed, and after about a dozen seconds, it slowly subsided.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Your weapon, [Bloody Devouring Sword], has been enhanced, and its attributes have significantly increased!
At the moment the system bell rang, Jiang Han felt a formidable force entering his arm from the weapon, causing his own strength to soar by a large margin!
Without hesitation, Jiang Han quickly checked the attributes of the Bloody Devouring Sword—
[Bloody Devouring Sword] (Spirit-grade)
Attack: 1100-1300
Effect: Attack +50%
Effect: Attack Speed +60%
Additional Effect: Life Stealing +15%
Skill: [Advanced Bloodsucking]
Required Level: 48
Introduction: The personal sword of the Dark Swordsman, Luo Yi, unfortunately, after tens of thousands of years of
wear and tear, its power is now less than a thousandth of its former glory. However, even so, it is still a rare weapon.
...
Damn!
Jiang Han's heart trembled, extremely delighted: "Awesome!"
The base attack upper limit of 1500, almost doubled from before, various percentages have also been increased, and the attached skill has been strengthened—
[Advanced Bloodsucking] (Passive) (A-grade): Devouring fresh blood will make the Bloody Devouring Sword more powerful. Each kill increases the attack by 1%, with a maximum of 30 stacks, lasting until the end of the battle!
The additional stacking layers of Advanced Bloodsucking have increased by 10 layers, equivalent to an additional 10% attack in a melee!
"First the second-tier, now the weapon is enhanced, my attributes should be terrifying now..." Jiang Han opened the character panel with anticipation to check his attributes—
[Dark Dominator·One Jiang Han Shui] (Golden-level BOSS)
Level: 53
Life: 817,600
Attack: 7,106-7,799
Defense: 2,940-3,192
Reputation: 74,300
Luck: 2
Introduction: Known as the Son of Eternity by adventurers, he possesses talents and potential that ordinary people can't reach. Where he will end up, no one knows...
...
A full seven thousand more attacks!
More than twice as strong as a gold-level BOSS of the same level!
...
23qb.
