Qin Feng checked the skill book in his hand:
——
[Darkest Hour (Platinum-level)]: Assassin-type skill. Unleash a dark light from the blade in your hand to blind all enemies within the range! Cooldown: 60 (34.3) seconds. Required level: 10
[Range: 20 meters]
[Base duration: 10 seconds (The higher the target's spirit attribute, the shorter the duration)]
——
Simply put, it was a blinding skill.
"Doesn't this just match the characteristics of my class?"
"As long as the enemies are blinded, even if I'm not in the stealth state, I can still trigger double damage!"
Of course, this "blinded" status could be dispelled.
If it was in PVP, one had to pay attention to whether the opponent had a healer with group dispel skills or support classes like paladins or priests.
When used to fight bosses, it was quite useful.
Even if the boss had relatively high spirit attributes, it wouldn't be a problem to last for three to five seconds against a boss of the same level.
There was only one thing to note.
Bosses had resistance to the same negative effects. If the first blinding lasted for five seconds, the second one might only last for three seconds, and the third one would be even shorter.
"Learn it."
Qin Feng learned the "Darkest Hour" skill.
Besides that, he also looted a higher-level Platinum-level assassin weapon from the corpse of the Plague Encircler!
——
[Plague Blade (Platinum)]: Assassin-type weapon. Attack power +216, Agility +42. Weak point attack multiplier +0.3. Equipment requirement: Level 10
[Unique effect: Any of your attacks will be accompanied by poison, which will burst out three seconds later and deal 50% of the damage of that attack.
——
The effect of this unique effect was equivalent to increasing any damage by 50%!
It was just that the damage would be settled three seconds later.
In comparison, Qin Feng's previous "Ghost Ship Dual Blades" had a unique effect that each normal attack would cause two damages...
"I'm not playing the normal attack build for now."
"Just switch to the Plague Blade directly!"
Qin Feng changed his weapon.
As for the Platinum-level Ghost Ship Dual Blades, for other assassins, they were already weapons of the artifact level.
At this stage, having a Platinum-level weapon would at least double or even triple the output of other assassins!
"It wouldn't be a problem to sell it for three thousand days of lifespan."
Qin Feng took a look at the remaining loot. Since there was nothing else that assassins could use, he put them all away.
Then came the evolution points.
Previously, the four Silver-level bosses, plus this Gold-level Plague Encircler, and sometimes killing some small monsters along the way had made Qin Feng's evolution points accumulate to 98 points.
"The damage is enough for now, and there's no rush to evolve the 'Darkest Hour'."
"I can save them up first and continue to evolve the epic-level 'Hand of Greed' to the legendary level."
Qin Feng checked the skill list:
Shadow Concealment (Platinum): Needed 13 points to evolve.
Backstab Enhancement (Emerald): Needed 21 points to evolve.
Hand of Greed (Epic): Needed 210 points to evolve.
Poison Dart (Emerald): Needed 13 points to evolve.
Instant Shadow Slash (Epic): Needed 210 points to evolve.
Ghostly Blur (Epic): Needed 80 points to evolve.
Graceful Liberation (Legendary): Needed 200 points to evolve.
Black Light Shield (Epic): Needed 50 points to evolve.
In addition, there were three skills, namely "Flower Curse", "Chisel Strike", and "Darkest Hour", that hadn't been evolved yet.
"Keep killing monsters!"
...
The number of bosses in each initial town was relatively limited.
Qin Feng didn't continue to buy the coordinates of bosses either.
Most of the bosses in Firefly Town had already been killed, and it would take a long time for them to respawn.
"I'm short of over ten thousand experience points. Just kill small monsters directly."
Qin Feng changed to the "Plague Blade". With higher agility attributes and faster speed, he arrived at the coastline in just over ten minutes.
He continued to kill level 10 monsters.
Each small monster gave 100 experience points. In total, killing a little over one hundred of them would be enough to gather fifty thousand experience points, which was enough for his first class advancement.
"Unfortunately, the monsters in the God-Abandoned Game don't respawn infinitely and quickly like in ordinary online games..."
"Otherwise, I could level up in no time."
It wasn't easy to find monsters on the map.
For example, the lobster-shaped "Crimson Armored One" was hard to spot with the naked eye as it was basically buried in the sand.
Fortunately, Qin Feng was alone.
In the eyes of these monsters, he was an easy target.
As long as he passed by nearby, there would be monsters sneaking up on him.
Since they came close, they naturally couldn't leave and were directly killed by Qin Feng with one strike!
In this way, it was until 8:30 in the evening.
Qin Feng finally gathered fifty thousand experience points!
It required one hundred thousand experience points to level up to level 11, so there was no rush for that.
In comparison, these fifty thousand experience points, when used for the first class advancement, would bring a more obvious improvement in strength!
——
[Your Shadow class has advanced!]
[Current: Zero-order → First-order!]
[Class attribute bonuses: Strength 3 → 9, Constitution 3 → 9, Agility 8 → 24, Spirit 5 → 15!]
[Class passive 1: The duration of stealth is doubled! New addition: You can use stealth skills while in the stealth state!]
[Class passive 2: +1 → +2 stealth level!]
[Class passive 3: When launching an attack outside the enemy's field of vision, the damage of that attack is doubled (2 times damage → 3 times damage)!]
——
Relying solely on leveling up, upgrading equipment, and skills wouldn't get you far in the God-Abandoned Game.
Because it was difficult to level up, and there were mostly upper limits for equipment and skills.
After reaching level 10, class advancement was also a crucial part of improving strength!
Originally, the attribute bonuses of Qin Feng's Shadow class were Strength 3, Constitution 3, Agility 8, and Spirit 5 respectively.
When his class advanced to the first-order, the bonuses in terms of attributes were tripled!
"Finally, I can be in permanent stealth!"
Qin Feng was a bit surprised when he saw the new effect of the first class passive.
Originally, all stealth skills couldn't be used during the duration of stealth.
In other words, even if the duration of stealth was longer than the cooldown time, you had to wait until the stealth ended before you could continue to release stealth skills.
But now...
Qin Feng could release stealth skills while in the stealth state!
In other words, as long as he didn't launch an attack, he could be in permanent stealth now!
"As the only hidden class, the Shadow class might seem rather ordinary in the early stage, but its abilities in the later stage are definitely not weak."
Qin Feng was quite optimistic about the prospects of this class.
After this class advanced once, it indeed added 1 level to the stealth level. Moreover, the damage of attacks launched outside the field of vision had also increased from the original two times to three times!
"The damage is higher now."
"Just in time to go to the continent and aim for the first kill of a Platinum-level boss."
Qin Feng took a look at the time.
It was 8:30 in the evening. At this time, quite a number of players had reached level 10.
However, to Qin Feng's surprise, apart from him, the players who reached level 10 first were not the North American players in his previous life's memory.
Instead...
They were players from Jianghai City!
And there were several level 10 players at once!
Of course, these level 10 players were all familiar faces.
"Not bad. It seems that selling so many equipment and skill books is also beneficial to me."
"The faster the players in Jianghai City level up, the earlier I can go to the continent!"
Qin Feng smiled.
Just when he completed his class advancement, a system prompt also came.
The number of level 10 players in the Jianghai City area had reached 7, and the passage to the God-Forsaken Continent was finally opened!
All players who had reached level 10 could return to the town and be teleported unidirectionally to the God-Forsaken Continent!
