Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Special Operations Team: Shadow Killer

"Ding, you have obtained 45 skill books."

"Ding, you have obtained 65 pieces of equipment."

"Ding, you have obtained +500 gold coins."

"Ding, you have completed the hidden boss first kill, and you have gained +10 free attribute points."

"Ding, you have obtained +1 mission scroll."

"Ding, you have obtained +1 mysterious key."

Lin Tianhao smiled. The rewards were really too satisfying.

The previous owner of the yellow skin was a bard, and he had quite a few good things on him.

Lin Tianhao glanced over the equipment and skill books of the yellow skin. It seemed that there were indeed some that he could learn from, but not many.

Out of the 45 skill books, Lin Tianhao carefully selected three that were suitable for his own class. The first one increased attack power, which was better than nothing.

As for the second one, it increased movement speed, which was very useful for Lin Tianhao. His current weakness was his movement speed.

Dash: Level 1

Effect: After activation, your movement speed will increase by 0.5, lasting for ten seconds.

Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Consumption: 10 MP.

Proficiency: 0/100.

With this kind of proficiency, it means that using the skill once will increase the proficiency by one point.

A movement speed increase of 0.5 was a bit underwhelming for Lin Tianhao, especially since it was a fixed increase, not a percentage increase.

In other words, learning this skill wouldn't be very helpful and would only distract him.

Sometimes, having more skills isn't necessarily better. If you have too many skills, you might hesitate when using them, or even get stuck.

In the previous MMORPG, there was a game character who could learn hundreds of skills. Players were so confused that they didn't know how to configure them or which skills to use in different situations.

Therefore, Lin Tianhao kept this skill and didn't learn it immediately.

As for the third skill that was suitable for him to learn:

Invincible Golden Body: Level 1

Effect: You will enter an invincible state, lasting for 0.5 seconds.

Cooldown: 24 hours.

Consumption: 100 MP.

Proficiency: 0/10.

This was definitely a god-like skill. Don't be fooled by the short 0.5-second invincibility time. This state could definitely be improved over time.

However, the consumption of 100 MP was a headache for Lin Tianhao. He only had 50 MP in total.

In other words, even if he learned this skill, he wouldn't be able to use it at all.

It was ridiculous!

Use the free attribute points to increase MP?

To be honest, Lin Tianhao was reluctant to do so.

He could add them to increase movement speed, but adding them to MP seemed a bit odd.

Actually, in the early stages of the game, MP has always been a pain for many players, especially mages. Mages rely heavily on skills, so naturally, they have higher requirements for spell power and MP.

However, many mage equipment can increase MP and spell power. For archers... the equipment mainly increases attributes such as attack power, movement speed, attack speed, critical strike, and life steal.

There are very few pieces of equipment that can increase MP.

Lin Tianhao had just obtained 10 free attribute points from killing the yellow skin, but he didn't directly add them to attack speed.

His current attack speed of 3.63 was already enough for now.

His current weaknesses were movement speed and the need for more MP.

Even if he couldn't use the Invincible Golden Body skill now, he could at least increase its proficiency.

But without enough MP, he couldn't even increase the proficiency.

Headache!

However, after a brief hesitation, Lin Tianhao added the attribute points to MP.

Attack speed and movement speed could be improved later, but MP was indispensable. In addition to the Invincible Golden Body skill, he would definitely have other skills that consumed MP in the future.

Lin Tianhao added all ten free attribute points to MP, increasing it to 100.

Then, without hesitation, he activated the Invincible Golden Body skill to increase his proficiency by one point.

At the same time, Lin Tianhao's gaze fell on the assassin player not far away.

At this moment, Shadow Killer stepped forward.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shadow Killer, and I am a member of the Dragon Country War Department's special forces."

Lin Tianhao was astonished in his heart. Shadow Killer!

This was a famous god-level assassin from his previous life!

That's right, he was an assassin with a god-level talent. Besides his high talent, Shadow Killer came from a special department of the Dragon Country War Department. It was said that he used to be a notorious mercenary who had been involved in countless battles, big and small. Later, he was recruited and rose to prominence.

He had very rich combat skills. With his god-level talent, he became one of the strongest assassins.

He actually had the potential to become the strongest assassin. Unfortunately, he obtained a saint-level hidden class, which lowered his status.

If his hidden class was also god-level, with two god-level hidden classes and his skills, he would definitely become the strongest assassin.

"What's the matter?" Lin Tianhao asked calmly.

Shadow Killer asked earnestly, "Snow Emperor, our War Department is going to form a special operations team in the game and wants to invite you to join."

Lin Tianhao knew about this special operations team. In his previous life, when the great catastrophe came, this special operations team of Dragon Country became the main force to fight against the Alait Star System.

It was precisely because of the existence of this special operations team that Lin Tianhao and most other people with middle and upper-level strength could live relatively peacefully.

"I need to think about it," Lin Tianhao said without rejecting outright. He was very optimistic about this special operations team.

However, if he were to join, he would definitely have to be in the management of this special operations team, or even the top leader!

Otherwise, he didn't plan to join this special operations team.

"Aren't you going to ask about the benefits?" Shadow Killer thought Lin Tianhao was rejecting the offer and couldn't help asking again.

Lin Tianhao shook his head with a smile. "No need. I still have some things to deal with next."

"Moreover, now is not the time for me to negotiate with you."

He currently didn't reveal much, and perhaps he could get others' attention.

But to really hold real power in the War Department, it was far from enough.

"Alright," Shadow Killer said, "I can tell you that the benefits of the special operations team are much better than those of clubs and guilds."

"Hmm," Lin Tianhao nodded to show he understood.

Shadow Killer turned to leave, but Lin Tianhao called him back.

"Wait," Lin Tianhao said.

Shadow Killer turned back in surprise. "What? Have you changed your mind?"

Lin Tianhao shook his head. "Earlier, I understood that you wanted to grab the boss. Wild bosses are meant to be抢来的, but it was wrong of you to try to kill me afterwards."

Shadow Killer's eyes narrowed. "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing much, just sending you back to the village for free!" Lin Tianhao said.

"Whoosh!" Lin Tianhao's arrow flew out.

Shadow Killer instinctively raised his hand to fight back, but seeing the arrow flying towards him, he finally put down his dagger and was taken down by Lin Tianhao with two arrows.

Before he died, he said, "Is this settled now?"

Lin Tianhao didn't respond. After killing Shadow Killer, he took out the mission scroll he had obtained from the yellow skin.

This new mission scroll was very interesting.

"In ancient times, the son of the Yellow Emperor became a mummy after death. He fought for the Yellow Emperor against Chi You but was sealed beneath the novice village by Chi You."

"Mission requirement: Release the son of the Yellow Emperor who is sealed."

"Mission punishment: All fire attribute attacks you receive in the future will double in damage."

"Mission reward: Unknown."

This mission was in opposition to the mission scroll dropped by the nine-headed snake Bo that he had killed earlier.

One was to destroy the novice village to prevent the mummy from coming out.

While this mission scroll was to release the mummy.

Not only that.

Lin Tianhao also found a loophole.

The mission scroll dropped by the nine-headed snake Bo did not explicitly state that it was necessary to seal the mummy or strengthen the seal.

The mission requirement was to kill the NPCs in the novice village and destroy the resurrection altar.

And this mission was to release the mummy. The mission requirements did not conflict.

In other words, Lin Tianhao could complete both missions at the same time.
