Chapter 8: Doubts and ignitions
Cyberpunk regretted it, really regretted it. If time were turned back to yesterday, he would not have provoked the siblings by killing him, and unfortunately, no amount of regret could prevent his life from passing.
Suddenly, Cyberpunk was in pain again, and Raven cut off his right index finger fiercely - this is the custom of thieves on the mainland, the first offense is to cut off the right index finger, and the second offense is to directly chop off the right hand.
After Punk's corpse stopped twitching, Raven gently lowered Punk's massive body.
Raven's mood at the moment is very complicated, everything is so familiar, all the touches and movements are almost the same as the 100% realistic "World of Ultron" game.
In fact, this was the first time he killed in the true sense of the word.
There was no panic, no discomfort, and no imaginary uncomfortable gagging, but a sense of pleasure mixed with ecstasy.
Right! If you do it yourself, it is no longer cold data, no longer a fake corpse that will disappear in a while, but a real person.
When I think of this, I have an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in my heart.
Is it because the remnants of the Assassin instinct from his previous life affected Raven's soul? Or is Raven truly integrated into the world?
Raven didn't know.
After the assassination, habitually began to touch the corpse. In the innermost part of the punk pocket, Raven accidentally pulled out a piece of paper. The above stuff made Raven completely unable to calm down.
It was a portrait of him, with his name and detailed history on it.
With a gasp, Raven instantly realized that this was not a bloody case caused by casually molesting a girl. It was a premeditated murder against him!
What shocked Raven even more was that this was not the kind of portrait that the Assassins copied with a painter, but a high-end product directly rubbed by the images seen with prophecy.
Who the hell is so generous!? Using prophecy to track down a person, with such a clear understanding, the amount of money it will cost will definitely not be less than 10,000 gold coins!
What is the shocking secret on his body that is worth spending this big price on the other side? Raven repeatedly recalled the experience of this body, apparently a very ordinary commoner, who made a living by hunting and farming. I really don't know why my head is so valuable.
Inexplicably, Raven snorted, and for some reason, Raven suddenly remembered the sharp eyes of those forest servant goblins before entering the city, and said secretly in his heart: "If there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, who uses forest servant goblins and the Black Erosion Church to hunt me down in a row...... That's really...... That's an exaggeration, right? ”
Which giant is behind the scenes to shoot at himself!?
Or is it that part of the game that you are involved in?
Raven was distressed, there were definitely a lot of big things that happened in the early game. Almost every Raven can recite an eight-nine-ten, but the current situation is that Raven's information is seriously insufficient, and he can't fit himself into any known plot.
Raven's mind was in a mess and he continued to touch the corpse.
No other valuable information. On the contrary, the poverty of this barbarian made Raven curse more than once.
A church core fanatic actually has only 1 silver coin on his body. It's no wonder that the Black Erosion Cultists in their memories like to rape people everywhere...... Because the people don't want money!
In addition, the only catch was a whiteboard axe and a whiteboard dagger from the blacksmith's shop.
The axe was directly thrown by Raven, that thing was worthless, and there were marks on it.
Dagger attributes......
Damage: 1-3 points
Durability: 4/11
Seeing this dagger, Raven almost wanted to die.
Gotcha, go back and use it for Karin's self-defense, no matter how bad it is, you can use it as a throwing knife.
After touching the corpse, printing a bunch of bootie footprints, and erasing the traces of his own at the scene, Raven left the scene as fast as he could.
Once in safety, Raven took a deep breath and examined his gains.
The system sent out a prompt just now, and Raven only has time to look at it now.
"Backstabbing launched."
"Backstab success! Damage × 2. Hit the opponent to the vital point. Backstab changed to a lethal attack. Deal a total of 34 damage to the target. ”
"Target is dying! Lose 20 health per minute due to bloodletting. ”
……
"Death to the target!"
"Drain the target's soul energy! Since the target challenge level is level 4, which is 3 levels higher than the self, an additional 200 kill experience will be rewarded...... Gain a total of 300 XP points for killing. ”
If it weren't for that portrait, Raven would probably have laughed until his mouth crooked when he saw this prompt.
In general, you can only challenge enemies who exceed 2 challenge levels if you team up. Now relying on the sneak attack and the obsidian thorn, he has completed the feat of killing people by leapfrogging, and the reward is of course extremely rich.
And the Kill XP, which can only be earned by fighting and killing, is the highest level of experience that can be used to distribute to all class, part-time, and transfer templates!
Considering the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, Raven urgently needed to improve his combat power, so he chose to take up the position of assassin immediately.
In the world of Ultron, employment is also very interesting. It can be said that each profession is completely different. For example, the holy warriors, they are pious warriors, as long as their hearts are full of justice and light, they will be inspired by the good gods, as long as they respond in their hearts, then at that moment they are already holy warriors.
Surrendering to a temple after the fact is just a supplementary ritual after the fact.
The official inauguration of an Assassin usually requires the approval of an Assassin guild.
In fact, as long as you meet the requirements, you can also be self-employed, but you will lose an Assassin badge with 1 agility.
Considering that having an Assassin badge would be tantamount to exposing himself to the eyes of Ciric's priest, Raven chose to take up the position of Nodoko.
To be an Assassin, several conditions must be met: any evil faction, level 4 disguise, level 8 hiding, level 8 stealth, and the ability to kill people just to become an Assassin.
The last point is actually a psychological judgment, and of course Raven is no problem with being a human being in two lives.
With a "ding", the (unemployed) on the system properties panel disappears.
He decisively added all his killing experience to the Assassin class, and the class level was immediately upgraded to level 3. If Raven is a Wanderer in the Basic Eight class, this experience will be enough for him to move up to level 5 or 6. Because Raven is employed as an assassin in the bronze rank, he has a strong experience penalty while gaining powerful skills.
As he levels up, Raven gains 1 free attribute point and 24 class skill points. As an Assassin, agility is the main item, and Raven doesn't plan to use his attribute points elsewhere until he hits 20 agility points and gets a special reward for basic attributes.
Considering that he might be hunted down next, Raven added skill points to stealth and hide. In addition, due to the successful defeat of Punk, there has been a slight increase in sneak attacks and lethal attacks.
In this way, Raven's attributes become:
Name: Raven.
Race: Half-Elf/??。
Attributes: Strength 11, Agility 18, Constitution 12, Intelligence 18, Perception 15, Charisma 19.
Faction: Order and Evil.

Health: 33/33 (Health)
Experience Points: 0 Universal. 30 XP for Kills (unassigned).
Skill Points: None.
Property Points: None.
Status: Healthy.
Class Skills - Stealth 40, Disguise 24, Hide 33, Bluff 12, Sneak Attack 11, Kill Attack 13......
Legendary Skill - Crazy Seal.
Racial Skill - Dark Vision
Personal expertise - secretive, persuasive, well-read and memorable.
Personal Skills - Legend of Self-Stability
After adding points, a sense of familiarity was added to the various skills in my mind, and it was more obvious that the agility aspect made the whole person feel a little lighter.
Closing the attribute table, the corners of Raven's mouth curled into a grim smile.
Returning to the middle-aged wanderer again, Raven went to the Adventurer's Guild to hand in the mission.
The man in charge of the verification task was an old man.
Don't look at him with sleepy eyes, he doesn't look awake, the main or part-time person who can sit in this position must be the priest of Safras (the god of prophecy), and all of them are not weak in prophecy.
Prophecy is a disgusting spell in the game, just ask the priest of Safras with a clue, and the priest can easily give a clear direction or judge the truth of someone's words. In the state of magic, what the priest says is absolutely true, and in many cases this is an almost open perspective.
It's March, two months before the priest of Safras loses his prophetic abilities in the game's history. In fact, due to the arrival of the turbulent year, the prophetic skills of the priests under the command of Safras have been a little inaccurate, but the general direction is quite reliable.
"I'm here to hand in mission 9527." Raven handed Punk's finger.
The old man glanced at Raven and didn't look at it again. This kind of bounty for catching a thief is not in the stream, and only rookie wanderers will accept this kind of bounty task.
Quietly using Safras's magic to compare information and fingers, the old man quickly received an affirmative answer.
There are ghosts when there is a mistake! The acid Raven used to water the walls was definitely made by punk.
"People are right. There's one more thing on the bounty. Did you find it? ”
Raven grinned, "I won't have trouble with the gold coins. ”
For anyone, gold is absolutely as much as you want. If you really take a piece of broken glass and exchange it for gold coins, Raven will never mind returning it to its original owner. It's a pity that Raven is holding a god-level dagger in the Black Iron Rank! In the beginning, in the game, 100 gold coins were priceless.
The old man was also accustomed to the greedy character of the wanderer, so he didn't care too much, and turned around and asked, "Didn't the man die, did he?" ”
"At least he was still struggling with excitement when I cut off his finger."
Right! It's just dying.
Once again, Raven passed the Prophecy Divine Examination.
There is a real difference between a finger cut off from a dead man and a living person. The magic test is also completely different.
The old man's thinking was rounded up by Raven into a misunderstanding.
Adventurers all have to pay eight cents for eight points of effort, and if the reward is for the head, it is definitely another price. No one wants to do more. If he really misses the target, the adventurer is most likely to choose to run away instead of calmly receiving such a small bounty.
And the adventurer is notoriously responsible for killing and not burying it, as long as he doesn't die at the time, it's not his business to hang up afterwards. Anyway, the city of wealth is dying every day, and who would have thought that the so-called thief would be a treasure fanatic believer in black erosion?
In this way, Raven calmly left the Adventurer's Guild.
Fire! It's already lit!
