Soaring Dragon had a good eye for talent.
Although he did not remember any expert called Night Roaming God, that did not stop him from seeing Qin Chuan's potential.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that he had instantly killed a level-six wild boar with one hit was enough to prove his strength.
A level-six wild boar had a full nine hundred health points.
Even if it stood there with no defense at all, ordinary players would have to hack at it for quite a while.
Yet in Night Roaming God's hands, it had been instantly killed without the slightest chance to resist.
Soaring Dragon knew he could not do that.
Forget him—even if their five-man team combined their attacks, they could not kill a level-six wild boar in a single round.
"Our team has more than half hidden classes, and our talents are all B-Tier or A-Tier. We're not weak."
"With damage as outrageous as Night Roaming God's, he should have an A-Tier talent too, right?"
Soaring Dragon could not help but ponder it.
"No, I have an A-Tier talent too. Mine boosts defense, but even if it were converted into attack bonuses, it still wouldn't be enough for me to one-shot a level-six wild boar."
"Could Night Roaming God have an S-Tier talent?!"
Soaring Dragon was shocked by his own guess, with a hint of envy mixed in.
As for jealousy, there was some, but not much.
Suppressing his thoughts, Soaring Dragon sent out an invitation. "Brother Night Roaming God, want to join our team and level up together?"
In Soaring Dragon's estimation, Night Roaming God's talent could not be low. His ability to instantly kill Wild Boars was most likely related to that talent.
But such high damage definitely could not be sustained.
Then, during the gaps when Night Roaming God's damage fell off, their team could help him level up.
Soaring Dragon did not expect that this alone would recruit him, but at least it could build some goodwill.
The first meeting was unfamiliar, but the second would not be. Maybe they could accomplish great things together someday.
The people teamed with Soaring Dragon were all longtime teammates. They immediately understood their captain's intentions and chimed in, "Great God Night Roaming God, team up with us. Efficiency guaranteed."
"Yeah, with the boss's Heavy Armored Warrior tanking up front, you can just focus on dealing damage."
"Before the other players get here, let's get our levels up first."
Faced with their enthusiastic invitation, Qin Chuan politely declined. "Thank you for the offer, everyone, but I'm used to being a lone wolf."
Soaring Dragon was somewhat disappointed.
However, the Archer in the team was unconvinced and muttered, "Acting all high and mighty. Careful you don't get gored to death by a wild boar."
His voice was not loud, but it was loud enough to reach Qin Chuan's ears.
Qin Chuan did not take it to heart at all.
Why bother arguing with a passerby?
Soaring Dragon frowned and scolded, "Go apologize to Brother Night Roaming God!"
Qin Chuan waved a hand. "President Soaring Dragon, there's no need. I'm going to level up first."
With that, he directly activated Stealth and casually put the equipment that had dropped earlier into his bag.
He glanced at its attributes.
[Wild Boar Leather Armor (Common Tier): Constitution +2, Defense +20. Equipment Requirement: Level 6]
The stats were passable, but he could not equip it for the moment, so he could only put it away.
Elsewhere, the Archer in Soaring Dragon's team complained in team chat, "This Night Roaming God is way too full of himself. He must have used his talent or some kind of item to instantly kill that level-six wild boar just now."
"If it was a talent, then a burst talent that strong must have an insanely long cooldown."
"If it was an item, how many more times can he use it?"
"The boss kindly invited him into the team to share experience, and he didn't even appreciate it."
Although the others did not speak, they had similar thoughts.
Even Soaring Dragon himself felt a little uncomfortable.
He had played so many games that he had long established his reputation. To have his personal invitation rejected made him lose face.
However, Soaring Dragon did not show his emotions. He merely stared into the distance.
He was waiting.
Waiting for Qin Chuan to make his next move.
Based on Soaring Dragon's expectations, Night Roaming God would need at least half an hour before he could replicate that earlier burst damage.
Yet before the thought had even passed, Soaring Dragon saw a level-six wild boar collapse in the distance.
At the same time, Night Roaming God's figure appeared far away.
"He can attack again already?"
Soaring Dragon's brow twitched.
Less than half a minute had passed, yet Night Roaming God had unleashed another burst and instantly killed a monster.
Maybe he really did have an S-Tier talent.
But in the next second, Soaring Dragon noticed something was off.
Wasn't Night Roaming God standing a little too far away?
Normally, shouldn't an assassin attack from behind a monster when going for an instant kill?
The Divine Flame Priest in the team noticed it too and could not help saying, "Night Roaming God can kill monsters from that far away. Could he be an Archer?"
"Impossible!" The Archer beside him declared firmly. "What kind of Archer class can instantly kill a monster above its level? Besides, I watched closely. The Wild Boars that died had no arrow wounds. I guarantee Night Roaming God can't be an Archer."
A new mystery appeared before the Dragon Soaring Team.
How could an assassin instantly kill a monster from fifty meters away?
Was he an assassin or a sniper?
Ridiculous.
Just as Soaring Dragon and the others were racking their brains, Qin Chuan entered Stealth again.
A moment later, another carefree wild boar grazing on the grass fell dead.
The Archer, who had been staring with wide eyes, could not help swearing. "Damn it, he's using hacks, isn't he?!"
Then he cursed viciously, "Apocalypse claims there are absolutely no hacks. What a load of bullshit."
Soaring Dragon knew some insider information. Apocalypse was supposedly developed jointly by countries around the world; with such advanced technology, hacks should never be possible.
But what he was seeing truly made him doubt it.
An instant-kill attack every twenty seconds—if that was not hacking, there was simply no explanation.
Just as Soaring Dragon began to question reality, another wild boar fell dead.
Before the team's Archer could say anything, the other assassin could no longer sit still.
As an assassin himself, he looked useless as a dog compared to Qin Chuan.
"Are assassins really this far apart?"
The assassin muttered to himself, bewilderment in his eyes.
The Archer beside him patted his assassin teammate on the shoulder and said dejectedly, "I understand how you feel. But I just want to ask: an assassin one-shot a wild boar from fifty meters away. Where does that leave me, an Archer? Seriously, can this game still let people play properly?"
The two stared at each other, lamenting life's unpredictability.
Soaring Dragon gripped his shield tightly and said in a low voice, "Careful. A monster's coming."
While they had been chatting, a wild boar had targeted them. It lowered its head and charged.
Bang.
Soaring Dragon was knocked back three steps, and his Health Bar nearly bottomed out.
Fortunately, the priest was quick to react. The Healing Spell he had precast landed immediately, directly restoring Soaring Dragon to full health.
He then applied Divine Flame Mark to his teammates, his movements smooth and fluid.
The team's assassin and Archer stopped chatting as well, drawing their weapons and beginning to attack.
-5!
-5!
The fixed damage from Divine Flame Mark kept floating up.
Against the wild boar's enormous Health Bar, it looked utterly insignificant.
As for their own damage...
They could not even break its defense. What damage could they possibly deal?
Still, there was good news: at least they could deal damage. As long as Soaring Dragon could hold on, taking down this wild boar would not be a problem.
After a chaotic brawl, the Dragon Soaring Team finally killed the level-five wild boar and claimed victory.
"We're still pretty strong."
Soaring Dragon tried to encourage them.
The response was sparse. His teammates did not want to talk at all.
Soaring Dragon was a little annoyed.
They were giving him no face at all.
The female priest pointed into the distance and said, "Boss, I think someone's hacking."
Soaring Dragon turned around and looked.
While they had struggled to surround and kill a level-five wild boar together, Night Roaming God had instantly killed three more wild boars.
And they had all been level six.
"Fuck."
Soaring Dragon swore.
"I'm reporting this with my real name—there's a hacker here!"
