He privately admired his increasingly respectable stats for a moment.
Then Adrian glanced at the new ability that came with [Sniper], [Extreme Shot].
"A passive increase to maximum attack range... feels useful, but not all that useful. After all, I still haven't tested the maximum range of Ghost Energy Cannon or Spiritual Pressure."
Adrian frowned slightly, then relaxed.
"Oh well. It's a passive skill, at least. Having it is better than not."
Just as Adrian was about to close the panel, a new notification suddenly appeared.
[Newly acquired secondary profession [Sniper] detected!] [Nine professions detected: [Pirate], [Swordmaster], [Sniper], [Navigator], [Cook], [Doctor], [Archaeologist], [Shipwright], and [Musician]!] [You have acquired the hidden specialty—[One-Man Army]!] [[One-Man Army]: Upon entering combat, if you are alone, you will receive a 9% boost across the board.]
"???"
Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing his surprise.
"A specialty that boosts everything. A talent perfectly suited to a lone wolf like me, and the boost is pretty substantial."
"It's just that the activation method is a bit bizarre... acquiring it through a specific combination of secondary professions."

Adrian nodded, then suddenly noticed something
