You're an assassin, why do you focus on ranged?

The first reaction of most people entering this room is to identify the person on the chair as Edith.

But in fact, it is not.

This is just Edith's subordinate.

Edith has been sneaking under the oil lamp, observing everyone who enters the room.

Edith was a little surprised to see Qin Chuan talking in her direction.

This stranger seemed to know her very well.

Or was it just a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Edith decided to observe for a while.

Although she is an assassin's professional mentor, she is not a robot without wisdom. She has a certain degree of self-thinking and will give different responses according to the player's performance.

Qin Chuan was well prepared and said again: "Instructor Edith, I brought a letter from Instructor Lei Huaao. Don't you want to see what Uncle Lei wrote, my dear daughter of the city lord?"

Swish.

Plop.

The guy on the chair had a dagger on his head, and his body slid to the ground weakly. After twitching a few times, he stopped moving.

Qin Chuan was very calm.

Edith was famous for killing people without blinking an eye. Not to mention that the NPC on the chair was just her subordinate, even her father, the city lord of Beli City, was eventually killed by Edith.

How cruel it is.

"Where did you know this news?"

A woman's voice came from under the oil lamp, and then the figure hidden in the cloak emerged, with only two eyes exposed, staring at Qin Chuan with a bad look.

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "There is no absolutely secret information in the world. Only the dead can keep secrets, right?"

Edith nodded in agreement, walked to the table and clapped his hands.

Two pale ghost maids emerged from the shadows, decomposed and devoured the corpse on the ground, then bowed and disappeared.

This is Edith's second profession, the necromancer.

The two maids just now were made by her.

Unlike the current players, the native NPCs in Apocalypse can master multiple professions.

Of course, players can actually do it in the later stages, but they need to put in a lot of effort.

Seeing Qin Chuan's unsurprised expression, Edith felt more and more that he could not see this stranger clearly.

But now is not the time to entangle this, Edith stretched out his hand: "Where is the souvenir."

Qin Chuan handed the souvenir over, Edith opened it and took a quick look, and his eyes softened a little.

Before speaking, Edith sniffed a few times and said in surprise: "The smell of shadow."

Qin Chuan directly activated the shadow stealth, and then canceled it.

Edith had a look of regret in his eyes, and sighed: "I used all my strength to find the power of shadow, but I didn't expect it to be in you, stranger, what do you want."

At this point, Qin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had initially passed Edith's test.

Who would believe that he was fighting wits and courage with an NPC?

Ordinary players probably don't bother to go through so much trouble, and they just come to Edith to receive the professional advancement task.

But Qin Chuan has been in Apocalypse for ten years, and he knows that this broken game cannot be viewed with common sense.

If you want to go further in Apocalypse, you must be prepared from the beginning.

Concentrating his mind, Qin Chuan said, "I want to advance my career."

Edith immediately put on a businesslike expression and said calmly, "I have several choices. Which one do you want?"

"Ding, you have triggered the career advancement selection task. Please make your choice carefully."

"Difficulty 1: Kill 20 violent centaurs. Reward: ordinary weapon*1, attribute growth +1, agility growth +2"

"Difficulty 2: Kill 100 violent centaurs alone within half an hour. Reward: Black iron weapon *1, Black Iron armor*1, attribute growth +2, agility growth +4"

"Difficulty 3: Kill the Centaur Chieftain alone. Reward: Silver weapon*1, attribute growth +3, agility growth +6"

"Special difficulty: Assassinate the wild arena boss and escape unscathed. Reward: Gold custom skill book*1, attribute growth +5, agility growth +10"

When the player reaches level 10 and completes the first career advancement, he will get different upgrade attribute point bonuses according to the difficulty.

Before level 10, the player's upgrade is secondary attribute +1, main attribute +2.

After the career advancement, the additional attributes will be added on the original basis.

Take difficulty 1 as an example. After completing the task, the upgrade is secondary attribute +2, agility +4.

And so on.

The same applies to other professions.

Seek

The most that ordinary players can get is difficulty level three.

Qin Chuan is different, and can trigger hidden difficulty.

Not only because of his shadow assassin profession, but also because he passed Edith's test.

Qin Chuan replied calmly: "I have always liked to challenge high difficulty, I choose to kill Hook Jack."

The owner of the Wild Arena was once a pirate. He broke one hand in the battle and welded an iron hook to it, so he got the nickname of Hook Jack.

The reason why the special mission wants to kill him is because there is a dispute between him and Edith.

It can be regarded as a special revenge in a special sense.

"Please note that you cannot give up after receiving the special difficulty. Do you confirm your choice?"

"Yes."

"Ding, you have received the special difficulty professional advancement task. Please complete it as soon as possible to break through the level limit."

At this time, Edith also returned to normal and praised: "I know that the inheritor of the power of shadow will not let me down, so I will wait for your good news here."

After saying that, he put on a gesture of seeing off the guest.

"Ding, the task has been changed."

"Lei Huaao's souvenir task has been integrated and synchronized with the advanced task."

Qin Chuan thought that it was indeed the case.

Just now, Edith crushed the souvenir into powder after reading it, and then did not say a word, obviously not planning to give more rewards.

Fortunately, this was already expected by Qin Chuan.

Otherwise, the advanced task of special difficulty would not give gold-level skill books.

At most, it would give silver level.

The two tasks were merged into one, which increased the rewards.

But it also increased the difficulty.

As the boss of the Wild Arena, Iron Hook Jack not only has countless thugs under his command, but also his own strength should not be underestimated, otherwise he would not be able to control the place.

If Qin Chuan remembered correctly, it was a level 20 gold-level BOSS.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan looked at the information above Edith's head.

[Edith, assassin mentor, level: ? ? ? 】

As expected of a professional mentor recognized by Apocalypse, this woman is simply unfathomable.

That is, she had no intention of attacking, otherwise Qin Chuan would have been sent to the resurrection point the moment he entered the room.

Qin Chuan accepted the task but did not leave in a hurry, but asked: "I want to learn dual wielding, where should I go."

Edith replied: "There is a weapon master in the tavern, you can learn from him."

After a pause, Edith took out a seal: "Take my seal and go, he will teach you for free."

This is the benefit of being recognized!

Normally learning dual wielding skills requires at least fifty silver coins.

Save money.

Qin Chuan took the seal, walked down the stairs, and found the so-called weapon master.

But the unkempt beggar in front of him, hiding in the corner and picking his feet, seemed to be a world away from the image of the weapon master in his mind.
