Chapter 56: Shadow Class Advancement! Continent Portal Opens!

Qin Feng checked the skill book in his hand:

——

[Darkest Moment (Platinum-grade): Assassin skill. Erupts dark light from the blade in hand, blinding all enemies within 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, this is a blinding skill.

"Doesn't this perfectly match my class characteristics?"

"As long as I blind the enemy, even if I'm not in a stealth state, I can still trigger double damage!"

Of course, this 'blind' state can be dispelled.

If it's PVP, one must be careful about whether the opponent has a healer with group dispel skills, or support classes like Paladins or Priests.

It's still quite useful for fighting bosses.

Even if a boss has a relatively high Spirit attribute, against a boss of the same level, lasting for three to five seconds shouldn't be a problem.

There is only one thing to note.

Bosses have resistance to the same negative effects. If the first blind lasts five seconds, the second will likely only last three seconds, and the third will be even shorter.

"Learn."

Qin Feng learned the 'Darkest Moment' skill.

Besides that, he also looted a higher-level Platinum-grade Assassin weapon from the Plague Wreather's corpse!

——

[Plague Blade (Platinum): Assassin weapon. Attack +216, Agility +42. Weak Point Attack multiplier +0.3. Equipment Requirement: Level 10]

[Unique Effect: Any of your attacks will inflict poison. The poison erupts after three seconds, dealing 50% of that attack's damage.]

——

The effect of this unique effect is equivalent to increasing any damage by 50%!

It just requires a three-second delay before it calculates.

In comparison, the unique effect of Qin Feng's previous 'Ghost Ship Dual Blades' was that every basic attack dealt damage twice…

"I'm not playing a basic attack build right now."

"Switch to the Plague Blade directly!"

Qin Feng equipped the weapon.

As for the Platinum-grade Ghost Ship Dual Blades, for other Assassins, it already belongs to the level of an artifact.

At the current stage, having a Platinum-grade weapon will increase other Assassins' damage output by at least two or even three times!

"Selling it for three thousand shouldn't be a problem."

Qin Feng looked at the remaining loot. There was nothing an Assassin could use, so he put it all away.

Next were the Evolution Points.

The previous four Silver-grade bosses, plus this Gold-grade Plague Wreather, and occasionally killing some small monsters along the way, had allowed Qin Feng's Evolution Points to accumulate to 98 points.

"Damage is enough for now, no rush to evolve Darkest Moment."

"I can save them first and continue to evolve the Epic-grade Hand of Greed to Legendary."

Qin Feng checked his skill list:

Shadow Cloak (Platinum): Evolution requires 13 points.

Backstab Enhancement (Emerald): Evolution requires 21 points.

Hand of Greed (Epic): Evolution requires 210 points.

Venomous Dart (Emerald): Evolution requires 13 points.

Instant Shadow Slash (Epic): Evolution requires 210 points.

Ghostly Blur (Epic): Evolution requires 80 points.

Graceful Liberation (Legendary): Evolution requires 200 points.

Black Light Shield (Epic): Evolution requires 50 points.

In addition, there were three skills that hadn't been evolved: Curse of Blooming, Gouge, and Darkest Moment.

"Keep grinding monsters!"

…

The number of bosses in each Starting Town is relatively limited.

Qin Feng didn't continue collecting boss coordinates.

The bosses in Firefly Town had mostly been killed, and it would take a long time for them to respawn.

"I'm short over ten thousand experience points, I'll just grind small monsters."

Qin Feng equipped the 'Plague Blade', which had higher Agility, making him faster, and he arrived at the coastline in about ten minutes.

He continued grinding level 10 monsters.

Each small monster gave 100 experience points. Counting it up, killing over a hundred of them would be enough to gather 50,000 experience points, enough for his first class advancement.

"It's a pity that the monsters in this God Forsaken Game aren't like normal online games with infinite, rapid respawning…"

"Otherwise, I could level up in a minute."

Finding monsters on the map was quite difficult.

For example, the lobster-shaped 'Crimson Armored Ones', which were hard to spot with the naked eye, were basically stuck in the sand.

It was just that Qin Feng was alone.

In the eyes of these monsters, he looked like an easy target.

Whenever he passed by, monsters would sneakily approach him.

Since they approached, they naturally couldn't leave, and were directly killed in one strike by Qin Feng!

Just like that, it was 8:30 PM.

Qin Feng finally gathered 50,000 experience points!

It required 100,000 experience points to reach level 11, so there was no rush for that.

In contrast, using these 50,000 experience points for the first class advancement would result in a more significant increase in strength!

——

[Your Shadow class has advanced!]

[Current: Tier 0 → Tier 1!]

[Class Attribute Bonus: Strength 3 → 9, Constitution 3 → 9, Agility 8 → 24, Spirit 5 → 15!]

[Class Passive 1: Stealth duration doubled! New: Can use stealth skills while in a stealth state!]

[Class Passive 2: +1 → +2 stealth level!]

[Class Passive 3: If you are not in the enemy's field of vision when launching an attack, the damage of that attack is doubled (2x damage → 3x damage)!]

——

Relying solely on leveling up, upgrading equipment, and skills won't get you far in the God Forsaken Game.

Because levels are hard to increase, and equipment and skills often have caps.

After reaching level 10, class advancement is also a crucial part of increasing one's strength!

Originally, the attribute bonuses for Qin Feng's Shadow class were Strength 3, Constitution 3, Agility 8, and Spirit 5.

When he advanced his class to Tier 1, the attribute bonuses were tripled!

And more importantly, the three class passives were improved.

"Finally, I can have seamless stealth!"

Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised when he saw the new effect of the first class passive.

Originally, all stealth skills could not be used while stealth was active.

In other words, even if the stealth duration was longer than the cooldown, one still had to wait until stealth ended before being able to cast a stealth skill again.

But now… Qin Feng could cast stealth skills while in a stealth state!

In other words, as long as he doesn't launch an attack, he is permanently stealthed!

"As the only Hidden Class, Shadow might look relatively average in the early stages, but its late-game capabilities are definitely not weak."

Qin Feng was quite optimistic about the prospects of this class.

This class advancement had indeed added +1 to his stealth level, and not only that, the damage dealt when attacking outside of an enemy's field of vision had also increased from the original two times to three times!

"Damage is even higher now."

"Just in time to head to the continent and find a Platinum-grade Boss for a first kill."

Qin Feng checked the time.

8:30 PM. At this time, quite a few players had already reached level 10.

However, what surprised Qin Feng was that, apart from him, those who reached level 10 first were not the North America players from his memories of his previous life.

Instead, it was… the players from Jianghai City!

And it was several level 10s at once!

Of course, these level 10 players were all familiar faces.

"Not bad. It seems that selling so much equipment and skill books is also beneficial to me."

"The faster the players in Jianghai City level up, the sooner I can head to the continent!"

Qin Feng smiled.

Just as his class advancement was completed, the system also sent a notification.

The number of level 10 players in the Jianghai City region has reached 7; the portal to the God Abandoned Continent has finally opened!

All players who have reached level 10 can return to the Starting Town and teleport one-way to the God Abandoned Continent!
