The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Lin Yuan walked down the street.

He seemed to walk casually, but his attention was highly focused, constantly watching for any possible attacks.

But the expected attack did not occur until he boarded the bus.

—A passerby might suddenly stab him while he's walking by, or a runaway dump truck might crash into him.

Yes, to commit murder openly is just too arrogant.

Although the Yang family is powerful, it is only powerful enough to be considered a first-class power in Suzhou. How could they dare to kill people openly?

But what about in the middle of the night, when everything is quiet?

After riding the bus for three stops, Lin Yuan got off and walked towards his home in Tiancheng Residential Area, maintaining a high level of concentration.

He didn't go straight into the residential area, but instead ate dinner at a fast food restaurant outside the area before going home.

Once inside his home and locked the door, Lin Yuan plopped down on the sofa and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Temporary and safe.

He lives alone in this house.

Three years ago, his whole family was in a car accident. His parents died on the spot, and the original owner of the body also died. That's how he was able to transmigrate. And that's how the original owner of the body miraculously came back to life.

The party at fault paid 30 Star Coins in compensation. Lin Yuan spent tens of thousands on his parents' funeral arrangements, and with his daily expenses, he now has about 22 Star Coins left.

If you have no relatives or friends, then you have no ties or worries, which is fine too.

Lin Yuan opened the trading platform again, but unfortunately, his purchase request still received no response.

It seems we need to raise the price.

Lin Yuan revised the purchase price, setting the price of the black iron box at 20, which is twice the price of a level 10 black iron item.

In this way, money is spent very quickly, and at most it can only buy a black iron box.

"We need to find a way to make money!"

林远

Lying on the sofa, although his hands were constantly waving in front of him, scrolling through the character panel, skill list, and so on, his feet remained completely still.

……

Lao Hei, whose real name is Qi Zifeng, is his game name. He awakened his talent 7 years ago and is now level 29.

It took 7 years to reach level 29, isn't that a bit too slow?

Yes, no.

For those with exceptional talent or strong financial backing, this is indeed extremely slow.

With a bit of talent, you can reach level 30 in just over two years.

But for ordinary people, upgrading is a luxury.

Because you only have one life.

After defeating each monster, do I need to spend time recovering my status?

Are you in a hurry?

Then you'll have to eat recovery bread, or even more extravagantly, drink life potions.

That's a lot of money!

How can ordinary players afford it?

Also, who can spend all day playing games?

Except for those upgrade fanatics!

So, it took Lao Hei 7 years to reach level 29, which is actually not slow. Some people don't even reach level 30 for more than 10 years. Of course, such people don't plan to pursue levels. After completing the novice trial, they basically stop playing the game and live an ordinary life, living the lowest level of life.

For example, the original owner's parents, and there are actually many, many such people; they are the main force in the real world.

In order to upgrade his skills and live a better life, Lao Hei often takes on dirty jobs.

For example, today he took on a job to kill a newcomer who had just awakened his talent.

Has your talent just been awakened?

That's at most level 10, maybe you'll have one piece of level 10 black iron armor, or maybe not.

That 5 Star Coins is such a good deal.

Old Hei confirmed the information again: the target's appearance, name, and address. Then, he checked the equipment. Poor thing, even though he had been playing the game for 7 years, he still couldn't get a full set of level 20 black iron gear; it was only half and half.

Half are level 20, and half are level 10.

There was nothing he could do; equipment was too hard to get in the game, and he didn't have the money to buy it.

Team up to run dungeons?

He only has a D-level talent; nobody wants him for dungeons!

However, with his current attributes, he can't even kill a newbie?

That's a joke.

[Player: Old Black]

Grade: 29 (57%)

Physical condition: 215

Power: 67

Agility: 51

Spirit: 50

Compared to Lin Yuan, he has a slightly higher agility (6 points more) and a higher spirit (22 points more), but his strength is more than 200 points lower and his constitution is nearly 700 points lower!

If Old Black knew what attributes his target was today, he would definitely abandon the mission immediately.

Isn't this just suicide?

Unfortunately, Old Hei was unaware of this. He quietly slipped out, disappearing into the darkness like a ghost.

That's his talent; the effect is to reduce his presence.

It's useless.

In the game, this allows him to get closer to monsters without being attacked, and in reality, it also makes him invisible to others. As long as no one attacks him, his presence is so low that it's appalling.

The world is constantly being destroyed by invading monsters, and surveillance systems are basically broken. The authorities won't bother to fix them, so Old Black just needs to be careful not to leave any traces.

His talent, however, is precisely the kind that goes unnoticed.

The major is quite relevant to the job.

Lao Hei arrived at Tiancheng Residential Area quickly and walked in right under the nose of the security guard.

"Hey, did someone just go in?" one of the guards asked the other, seemingly having noticed something.

"Where is anyone? You must be seeing things." Another security guard shook his head.

"Really?" The first security guard scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Following the information given by his employer, Lao Hei arrived at Building 6, climbed the stairs to the 8th floor, and stopped in front of Room 803.

He took out tools from his backpack, fiddled with the lock for a bit, and the door opened silently.

Old Black sneaked into the room like a ghost.

His starting skill was related to assassins, and the skill book he received as a reward after completing the novice trial was also related to assassins. So he developed in this direction, but skill books were too rare and he couldn't afford to buy them on the trading market. As a result, even though he was already level 29, he had only mastered three skills.

He is now using one of the skills.

【Shadow Step】Slide in the shadows to greatly reduce the chance of being detected.

This, combined with his talent, made him incredibly sharp.

Even if he stands right in front of someone, they will almost always ignore him.

Target spotted.

He stared at Lin Yuan lying on the sofa and took out a dagger.

The second skill is activated.

[Backstab] Launch a fatal attack from behind, dealing damage equal to 250% of your Strength. Must be launched from behind; requires: a dagger.

A dagger emerged from behind Lin Yuan, silently approaching his neck, and then... slashed it away!

A single, decisive blow.

take away!

Holy crap!

Old Hei's eyes widened suddenly, because no blood spurted out when he slit his throat!
