Lord of Shadows

"Mm... Okay."

After a few seconds of thought, a letter appeared in Yi Qing's hand.

[Shadow Assassin's Letter of Recommendation: A pass to a hidden profession. Take this letter to a priest at the Temple to receive a job change quest.]

Under the Eye of God, the contents of this letter were completely visible, including its purpose and the trigger points for the quest.

However, in Yi Qing's eyes, this letter only displayed the words "[Undetermined]" in large characters, and she knew nothing else about it.

"This is the reward for the first achievement of reaching level five, right?"

"Yes, I was planning to save up money."

The girl nodded, her expression showing a hint of distress.

The general store owner's Appraisal Skill level was too low, so she could only ask for help from the old grandmother at the Appraisal Shop.

But the exorbitant appraisal fee was not something she could easily save up for. It was precisely because of this that she didn't have much time to busy herself with quests. Her main plan currently was to get this letter, which contained a hidden profession, appraised as soon as possible.

However, since Li Xunsheng's request was also urgent, she decided to come and help in order to repay the favor she owed him.

"Quest... Hmm?"

"Wait a moment, let me see this."

Just as Yi Qing was about to put away the letter in her hand, Xunsheng waved his hand and cast an Appraisal Skill on the letter...

[Casting Appraisal Skill! The caster is extremely familiar with the target of appraisal, greatly increasing the success rate!]

[Appraisal Successful! All information about the target has been appraised. Due to extreme familiarity with the target, only 1 point of mana was consumed!]

"Huh?"

With a flash of white light, the white mist that had been shrouding the letter suddenly dissipated, and all information became completely visible.

"You can appraise?"

Yi Qing's eyes widened, her calm expression completely vanishing.

"Just learned it. Looks like it works well."

It was the first time he had seen Yi Qing's emotions fluctuate so much. Li Xunsheng smiled slightly, indicating that it was just a small matter~

"It's just a small favor, you don't need to worry about it."

Even though the item in her hand was easily appraised, saving her a lot of trouble, seeing Yi Qing's hesitant expression, Xunsheng naturally knew what she was worried about.

Was she worried about owing him too much and not being able to repay it later?

"...Thank you, I'll remember this."

Finally, with a grateful sigh, Yi Qing's expression turned serious as she solemnly put away the letter.

Shadow Assassin, it seemed to suit her Talent quite well.

She owed this man in front of her another whole Gold Coin... and a considerable favor at that.

Competition in the early game was particularly fierce, and saving such a long time of saving money was hard to refuse, even for her.

"I'll pay you back one Gold Coin, and I owe you again."

The condition for changing professions was level ten, a fact Yi Qing also knew.

Therefore, she wasn't in a hurry to go to the Temple to hand in the letter, but instead asked for the specific details of the quest...

"It's fine, we'll cooperate more in the future. You can come to me if you need anything appraised. Of course, it's best not to spread the word that I can appraise things; I don't like trouble."

"Mm."

Seeing Yi Qing nod solemnly, Xunsheng didn't say anything more. Instead, he directly shared the Legion Mission content with this reliable assistant.

While Yi Qing was quietly reviewing the quest, Xunsheng finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and began to investigate this player's specific information...

[Yi Qing (Qingyi) Lv.7 Villager Equipment: Tusk (Lv.5 Blue) Exquisite Leather Armor (Lv.6 Blue) Wolf Tooth Necklace (Lv.5 Blue) Strength 21(+2) Intelligence 11 Agility 31(+9) Constitution 11 Spirit 11 Attack: 80 Defense: 16]

Unlike him, who focused on Strength, whether it was due to her Talent or the fact that her first good weapon was a dagger, Yi Qing's main focus was Agility. Including equipment bonuses, it reached a full 40 points, a notch higher than Xunsheng's.

Although equipment played a role in this, within just two days of arriving in Lone Star City, not only had she raised her level to Lv.7, but this powerhouse had also found herself two more high-level blue-grade items...

Li Xunsheng was now starting to doubt if his ten points of Luck were too low compared to these people.

He hadn't slacked off on grinding monsters either, so why had he only obtained one blue-grade item?

Ah, right, he still needed to check her Talent.

Xunsheng was somewhat curious about how Yi Qing managed to kill Elite Wild Boars in the novice village.

Therefore, he skipped the usual panel and went straight down to the Talent section...

[Lord of Shadows (S): When in shadow, all damage dealt increases by 100%.]

[Hidden Information: Each damage instance in shadow has a 1% chance to cause instant death (but with lower priority, can be immune to by higher-level enemies). When instant death is immune, deals an additional 1000% damage.]

[Hidden Information: This Talent can be upgraded! Strengthen by killing 1000 targets while in shadow! (266/1000)]

"..."

Now, Xunsheng understood why this powerful figure could take on an Elite Wild Boar solo...

This talent was just too damn simple and brutal, wasn't it? Direct damage doubled in shadows? With instant death attached? Immunity meant tenfold damage! And it could even be upgraded...

Hiss...

Even with a Divine Spark, Xunsheng felt his mind buzzing for a moment.

No need to say anything else.

Sister! Let me hold onto your thigh! I'll be counting on you for party grinding from now on! Wuwuwu...

No wonder this sister was the first to reach Lv. 5. With such an explosive damage talent, how could her leveling not be fast!

Compared to painstakingly blocking and countering one by one, this was true brute force output!

[Warning: Following the current development path, this female will be unable to complete the job change quest and is in mortal danger! (Recommend feeding one Golden Potato for strengthening, which can effectively avert the fatal outcome)]

Huh?!

A shock ran through Xunsheng, and he was greatly surprised! If Yi Qing were to have an accident, wouldn't all his previous investments be for nothing?!

"Hmm? Is this quest a bit difficult for us to do... What's wrong?"

After reading the quest details, Yi Qing looked up, only to find the young man's face suddenly contorted with worry. She was momentarily confused.

"It's nothing, cough, cough, it's just that... take this!"

After confirming no one was around, Xunsheng secretly took out a golden treasure...

Noticing Xunsheng's strange expression, Yi Qing also knowingly leaned closer to see what was up with this friend who had helped her so much.

"This is for you."

"Hmm? But this..."

Upon seeing Xunsheng's good stuff, even the usually calm Yi Qing couldn't help but blush a little, her heart racing.

"It's too precious..."

Resisting the immense temptation, Yi Qing waved her hand, indicating she couldn't accept it.

If she really ate it, the various favors she owed would be impossible to repay.

"It's fine, just eat it... Stop dawdling and hurry up!"

"This..."

The maiden's eyes were full of longing, but she still hesitated.

"Hurry up, I have others to meet for a quest, don't let us get caught."

If it weren't for the system prompt, Xunsheng would never have imagined that even Yi Qing could have a mishap...

"Alright!"

If I can't repay it, then I can't repay it!

Taking the Golden Potato Xunsheng handed over, Yi Qing opened her mouth and took a bite.

Golden streams of light entered the maiden's body, transforming into a permanent increase in strength.
