Chapter 4: Choosing a Skill Book
"what?"

Looking at the prompt that popped up in front of him, a look of surprise flashed in Yu Zhun's eyes.

"Demon Sheep Nightmare? Shouldn't it be Demon Sheep Killer?"

According to the strategy Yu Zhu gave him, after killing 50 little demon sheep, he killed the hidden monster Lv5 black demon sheep, and he would be rewarded with the white title [Demon Sheep Killer], which could increase his health by 5%.

But now, he has obtained a higher-level green title [Demon Sheep Nightmare], and the effect of the title is completely different from before.

Could it be... because I killed the Black Demon Sheep in one strike?
Yu Zhun silently put the title on his head. The four bright green characters [Magic Sheep Nightmare] with decorative effects looked quite cool.

Moreover, the effect of this title is better than [Demon Sheep Killer].

Not every kind of magical beast will wait for him to attack first like the little magical sheep. When encountering other magical beasts, higher health can allow him to live longer.

Although this is inconsistent with Yu Zhun's original intention of entering the game and choosing a career.

After equipping the title, Yu Zhun immediately began to check the equipment dropped after killing the Black Demon Sheep.

[Cursed Necklace of the Black Demon Sheep]

[Equipment Introduction: This necklace contains the curse of the Black Demonic Sheep. It carries the resentment of the vicious Demonic Sheep Clan and will turn the wearer into a docile lamb to be slaughtered at will!]

[Equipment Level: Lv5]

[Equipment Quality: Excellent (Blue)]

[Equipment location: Accessories]

[Equipment Durability: 100]

[Equipment Attributes: Life +200]

[Equipment Effect 1 (Transform into Sheep): After wearing it, reduce your physical attack and magic attack by 50%, increase your health by 100%, upper limit 1000 points]

"Hiss..." Yu Zhun couldn't help but take a sip of the cold noodles.

What a vicious curse!

Each player initially has three equipment slots, namely weapons, protective gear and accessories. As they upgrade, new equipment slots will be unlocked.

Before, Yu Zhun only had one piece of equipment, which was the corresponding profession weapon given after the initial profession selection, and it had no attributes or effects.

The cursed necklace now can be considered his first piece of equipment.

Although the equipment introduction sounded bad, Yu Zhun carefully checked the equipment attributes and effects and determined that this equipment was very good for him.

The equipment attribute increases life, and the equipment effect is to reduce physical attack and magical attack by half, and double the life.

This equipment will turn the wearer into a person with thick blood but weak body.

But scraping doesn't seem to be something Yu Zhun needs to consider.

He only needs to assassinate openly and honestly to kill with one strike.

Therefore, the only thing he needed to consider was how to get to his opponent alive.

After gradually accepting his outrageous talent, Yu Zhun suddenly felt that although this was very different from the route he expected, it was quite exciting when he thought about it carefully.

However, the equipment level of the cursed necklace is Lv5, which requires the player's level to reach Lv5 or above to equip it. Yu Zhun is only Lv3 now.

If you want to equip it, you need to upgrade it two more levels.

Throwing the cursed necklace into his backpack temporarily, Yu Zhun opened the panel that he had not had time to check after upgrading.

【Character name: Yu Zhun】

[Level: Lv3 (50/250)]

[Profession: Assassin] [Professional Talent: Honest (SSS Level)]

[Title: Demonic Sheep Nightmare (Green)]

【Attributes:
Health: 220 → 264 [Title +10%]

Mana: 85 → 90
Physical Attack: 130 → 140
Magic Attack: 0 → 0
Physical Defense: 50 → 55
Magic Defense: 50 → 55

[Skills: 1/4]

[Skill 1: Lurk (Lv1)]

[Equipment: 1/3]

[Weapon: Dagger (white)]

"The experience required to level up is getting higher and higher. If I want to level up quickly, just killing the demon sheep is not enough." Yu Zhun thought for a while, "I have to quickly find the second experience beast, the gray demon dog."

Gray Demon Dogs are another type of Magical Beast in the Novice Area. Unlike the weakest Little Demon Sheep, their levels fluctuate between Lv3 and Lv5. Killing them will give you more experience, but they are also more dangerous.

The Gray Demon Hound is a sharp and sensitive monster. It will actively attack players within a range of ten meters. If it stands still, the search range will continue to expand over time.

Therefore, it is impossible to kill the gray demon dog easily in the same way as the little demon sheep.

"Although my life attribute has been additionally improved under the effect of the title, it has not reached Lv5. Before wearing the cursed necklace, my life attribute is still not high enough." Yu Zhun opened his backpack, "To be on the safe side, I need to buy a skill book."

A skill book is a necessary item for acquiring new skills and upgrading existing skills. Yu Zhun's existing initial skills and talents cannot be matched, which means he has nothing. This means that he can only fight the gray wolfhound in hand-to-hand combat.

Acquiring a new skill can make you much safer.

"I killed thirty little demon sheep today, and four demon sheep horns dropped from them. Adding the money left from selling the demon sheep horns yesterday, I still have more than a thousand left." Yu Zhun counted on his fingers.

"The price of a skill book is directly related to the popularity of the skill and the rarity of its drops. A basic skill book can cost only a few hundred yuan at the cheapest, or even tens of thousands of yuan at the most expensive."

"Let's go back to the Novice City first." Yu Zhun turned around and went back.

It just so happens that the Gray Plains Ruins where the Gray Demon Hound is located is on the other side of the Novice City, and it was originally necessary to pass through the Novice City.

Back to the bustling streets of the Novice City, the newbie who was looking for the handsome master still hadn't found him. Yu Zhun kept an expressionless face and walked straight to a stall selling skill books.

"How do you sell skill books?"

"Brother, you have good taste. My stall has the most complete skill books on this street." The young stall owner with round-framed glasses on his nose glanced at the title above Yu Zhun's head and immediately smiled.

To be able to obtain the green title at a mere Lv3, it must be either due to his money or superpowers, it seems he is a big customer.

He took out a folding fan and opened it with a "whoosh" to reveal the four big words "honesty to children and the elderly" on it. He then glanced at the dagger on Yu Zhun's waist.

"Brother, you want the assassin's skill book, right?"

“You can also take a look at the universal ones.” Yu Zhun said calmly.

Skill books are divided into profession-specific and universal categories. Profession-specific skills are only available for learning by fixed professions, while universal skills are available for learning by all professions.

The latter is more applicable, but generally does not contain any good stuff, so the price is generally cheaper.

So when he heard that Yu Zhun was also interested in general skill books, a flash of disappointment flashed across the young man's eyes behind his glasses.

I hope I have made a mistake.
But since he was a guest, he soon smiled again and skillfully found a stack of skill books that Yu Zhun needed. "Here they are!"

"Let me consider."

Yu Zhun nodded, squatted down and started looking through the books one by one.

The stall owner only stared for a while, then quickly shifted his gaze away from Yu Zhun and looked towards the busy street.

It's hard to find a fat sheep, and it's hard to do business~
