Chapter 20 Newbie Gift

  Chapter Twenty

  The Dark Elf suddenly seemed to have come up with an interest, saying in a voice that was extremely out of sync with her appearance.

  "Do you want to learn skills?"

  "Yes."

  Lin Xun nodded, he didn't know how much time it took to learn a skill, but one merit point was enough for him to learn any F-grade skill!

  The Dark Elf didn't say much, raised his hand and pointed out a black awn, merging into the depths of the Lin Dust's Abyssal Ring!

  In an instant, Lin Chen's Deep Abyss Ring once again reflected a projection of an energy light screen, and the skills of each assassin were listed out, with at least ten or more in sight.

  "Blade Storm!"

  "Shadow Steps!"

  "Sparkle of the arc!"

  "Fierce Wind Strike!"

  ……

  "Rainbow Flash: The assassin's body flashes in an instant along a curved trajectory!"

  "Instant Thrust: Move forward a certain distance at extremely high speed!"

  "Blade Storm: A small-range spin that pulls enemies around the Assassin in, dealing non-elemental physical damage!"

  "Proxy Wind: This is one of the long-standing strategic techniques of assassins, a technique that increases one's attack speed. This technique imbues the power of the wind into the sword, making it feel as light as a feather, and with repeated practice, it becomes even lighter, and the attack speed also becomes faster!"

  "Gale Strike: This is one of the assassin's strategic skills for a long time. A strong gust of wind blows instantly, and the surrounding enemies are strongly pushed out. Mainly used when the assassin is surrounded by enemies and in great danger, to escape, the skill itself is not very powerful."

  "Shadow of the Moon: Assassins are like the shadow of the moon, in a state where no one can observe them. They can lurk nearby without being discovered, but some animals use their senses to detect the lurking!"

  "Light Body: A forgotten assassin's strategy. Temporarily boosts physical abilities to increase movement speed. However, due to physical limitations, it cannot be used repeatedly."

  One by one, powerful skills are placed in front of Lin Chen, marked with a month's time or a few merit points to learn!

  One by one, powerful skills appeared on the light screen, displaying a posture of "pick as you like", and as long as Lin Chen was willing, he could learn any one of them!

  Including Moon Shadow Step, this assassin's signature stealth skill!

  However, Lin Chen stabilized quickly after a slight tremble, pulled down the skill list to the bottom and found the skill he wanted!

  "F Rank Dagger Mastery: Universal Skill of the Dark Night System!"

  "Skill Introduction: A rookie's technique mastered after a month of special training, it allows you to get familiar with the weapon in your hand and deal more damage to enemies while swinging!"

  "F-level Taikai Mastery!"

  "F Rank Twin Swords (Long) Mastery!"

  ……

  "F Rank Dual Swords (Short) Mastery: Universal Skill of the Dark Night System!"

  "Skill Introduction: A rookie's technique acquired after a month of special training, it allows you to get familiar with the weapon in your hand and avoid cutting yourself while swinging!"

  "That's it."

  Lin Chen gritted his teeth and closed the skill light screen, staring straight at the Dark Night Elf in front of him, saying: "Master, I want to learn Short Sword Mastery!"

  Upon hearing this, the assassin's mentor curved his mouth into an imperceptible arc and nodded, saying: "Good."

  As she spoke, the Dark Night Elf rose from the soft leather chair, her upper body slightly leaning forward, a slender finger as thin as a scallion root seemingly transcending spatial constraints, directly pointing at Lin Chen's brow!

  In an instant, a flood of information about the Universal Language of Swordsmanship poured into Lin Chen's mind, like a deep abyss. Pictures of various hand grips on short swords and practice exercises flashed before his eyes. Some experiences and insights gained from using short swords also suddenly emerged in Lin Chen's heart!

  "F Rank Dual Swords (Short) Mastery Learned Successfully, 1 Merit Point Deducted!"

  The icy voice of the guide awakened Lin Chen's consciousness from his epiphany with the short sword!

  Short sword, nimble and varied, seeking gaps to enter, swift as a strong wind, cunning like a venomous snake!

  In Lin Xun's heart, a sudden flash of understanding streaked across.

  "A person who can't even grasp their own weapon doesn't deserve to be an assassin."

  The assassin's mentor panted slightly and rapidly, her chest outlining a tempting wave, as if the skill learning just now had consumed a lot of physical strength.

  "Thank you."

  Lin Xun bowed slightly again, muttering to himself, teaching the most basic skills shouldn't be this exhausting, is this guy a mere ornament?

  Lin Xuan thought to himself that this was a place of profound depth and multiple layers, so it wasn't surprising if his master's strength was somewhat lacking.

  "Wait."

  "Huh?"

  Lin Chen turned back, a hint of puzzlement in his eyes, looking at this instructor who was perfect in both figure and appearance.

  "Skills aren't something you can master just by learning them. This is a pair of short swords I used to use, consider it a newbie gift package."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin master had already taken out a pair of short swords wrapped in black scabbards from a drawer on his desk and tossed them over.

  "Uh, thank you."

  Lin Chen received the pair of short swords in a flustered manner, expressed his gratitude once again, bowed slightly and politely exited the room.

  "Personally transmitting a contract other than the designated skill information will deduct 10 merit points!"

  A cold voice came from the room of the Assassin Master.

  "Interesting little guy, hope you won't disappoint me..."

  "Inexplicable..."

  Lin Chen walked out of the occupation hall with a pair of short swords, still feeling that this assassin mentor was somewhat strange. When guiding the successor in the universal language of the Deep Abyss, he didn't mention that there would be new equipment given after changing occupations, but instead reminded the contractor to buy weapons...

  "Skills are not just about learning, but also require practice to master perfectly."

  Lin dust pondered, holding up the short sword in his hand to the blood-colored sunlight, and found a line of small characters engraved on the hilt with the Deep Abyss Common Language!

  Catherine Sylvia Manulis

  "This name... is a bit long."

  Lin Chen shook his head, this was probably the name of the Assassin Mentor, a guy from the Abyss, and their names were so long?

  He gave a strange glance at the young man who was still quietly waiting for the old man to receive him, and Lin Chen walked away with an odd expression.

  That guy has watched too many third-rate shows and is waiting for an old man to give him a chance?

  Or... what secrets does that old man have on him?

  Those who come to the vocational hall are only two kinds of contractors. One is to change jobs, and the other is to learn skills. Neither of them will be a fool!

  Lin Xun shook off the strange thoughts in his mind and headed straight to the attribute enhancement store in the western district.

  “……”

  The short sword was drawn from its scabbard, without any sound being emitted. The jet-black blade, which had completely merged with the darkness, seemed like a bottomless black hole, swallowing all light!

  "Ding!"

  Lin Chen lightly crossed the two short swords, rubbing them together, and a dazzling spark shot out, with sharp edges and internal restraint!

  Lin Xuan even suspected that this sword's edge might be able to directly cut through steel!

  This pair of short swords gave Lin Chen the feeling that they were like hidden poisonous snakes, able to blend into the darkness and then launch a fatal attack at the most opportune moment!

  The short sword was very light, and the two together should not exceed five hundred grams. Lin Chen held it in his hand, but it felt quite natural, however, there were some awkwardness that could not be avoided!

  "Sure enough, it's all a scam, who has learned skills and become as proficient as if they had practiced thousands of times..."

  Lin Xun imitated the movements in his mind, constantly probing and swinging his short sword, and gradually, a familiar feeling arose between his hands!

  "This is really just newbie equipment?"

  Unconsciously, Lin Chen had entered the western district, and inserted the short sword back into the scabbard on his waist belt. A thread of doubt rose in his heart...

  The belt is an accessory for two short swords, made of a certain unknown leather, also black, and does not reflect any light!

  Assassins, belonging only to darkness and shadows...

  The attribute shop and profession hall are generally eye-catching, and it's easy to find that its volume is different from other thatched cottages, with an area of hundreds of square meters!

  "Attribute Enhancement Shop..."

  Lin Chen raised his eyes to scan the sign hanging above the gate, and the ancient mysterious abyssal characters seemed to carry some inexplicable power, making people involuntarily attracted to it!

  (Updated! Updated! Seeking recommendations! Seeking to be added to bookshelves! Also, the contract has been sent out, whether it can be signed depends on how efficient the courier is, haha...)
