Chapter 171 Elite Expertise
Following the panel prompt, three options are refreshed.
[Rapid Shooting: You use ranged weapons at an extraordinary speed, with an additional +20% attack speed. If equipped with a revolver, the speed will be increased by an additional +5%.]
[Battle Master: After entering combat, all attributes will be increased every 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 15%. The increase will begin to decay after leaving combat.]
[Gun Genius: You are adept at using all firearms. All firearms are equally effective in your hands. When using firearms, your attack power increases by 20% and your critical hit chance increases by an additional 3%.]
Since it is the ultimate expertise for the level 30 profession, the three expertises that are refreshed this time are all quite gorgeous, and their strength is infinitely close to that of elite expertise, making it difficult to choose.
The first option can greatly increase the attack speed. This option can maximize the power of extraordinary bullets. After the bonus, Ebony can even reach 145% of the firing rate, which is worth choosing.
The second option is equally powerful. It improves all attributes every 30 seconds. It not only increases output, but also increases survivability and magic resistance. It's quite abnormal.
As for the third option, a conservative estimate is that it can directly increase attack by 20% and critical strike by 3%, which is simple and crude.
After a brief thought, Zhou Ning directly chose the third option. Sometimes simplicity is beauty.
[You have obtained a level 30 professional specialty [gun genius]! ]
Your specialty [Gun Genius] has similar abilities to the specialty [Gun Knowledge] and the talent [Gun Master]. Do you want to combine them? This specialty is unique, and other Wandering Gunner players will remain unchanged.
"This specialty can actually be upgraded?" Zhou Ning was slightly stunned.
In the "Apocalypse" game, there are some specialties that have the opportunity to combine. For example, the revolver specialization (primary) that Zhou Ning obtained before. Instead, the effect of the intermediate level is slightly improved, which is why Zhou Ning did not choose this talent at the time.
"Yes!"
[Synthesis Completed!]
[You lose the talent [Gun Master].]
[You lose your expertise [Firearms Knowledge].]
[Gun Genius] upgrades to [Gun Genius] (Elite): You are adept at using all firearms. All firearms are treated equally in your hands. When using firearms, your attack power increases by 33% and your critical hit chance increases by an additional 5%. This talent is applicable to all firearms.]
"Pretty!"
Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief. If his previous [Gun Genius] feat was considered close to elite level, then the upgraded [Gun Genius] was considered top-notch among elite-level feats.
It boosted his attack power by 33% in one go. The last entry, "Talent Universal to All Guns," even reactivated the Revolver Mastery talent and its bonus. Zhou Ning calculated that the actual output increase might be 40%.
It's terrifying.
There was still plenty of experience left, and Zhou Ning didn't deliberately control the level. He first maxed out the level 10 alchemist sub-profession and upgraded it to level 20 in one go. Taking into account the additional bonus of the extraordinary physique specialty, this profession provided him with a total of 5 points of agility, 15 points of will, 15 points of spirit and 10 points of free attribute points.
[Advanced Alchemist] After reaching the level cap of 20, the next upgrade requires alchemy to reach the expert level, and the blueprints currently mastered are not enough.
It took nearly 60 experience points to upgrade the alchemist level, and there were more than 30 experience points left on the panel. Zhou Ning decided to keep it for the time being.
With 30 free attributes left, Zhou Ning invested 10 points into physical strength without hesitation, and the rest was evenly invested in will and spirit to slightly make up for his shortcomings.
The total level becomes 57, personal attributes:
[力量38、敏捷170、体力105、意志79、精神87、魅力100]
Life: 1760/1760
Stamina: 1060/1060
Willpower: 79/79
Combat power: 10698
The rest is omitted for now.
[Explanation: Your strength is enough to gain a foothold in this world, but your appearance is still your biggest label.]
His combat power finally broke through the 1 mark. Taking into account the recent natural growth of the ripple breathing method, his strength reached 38 points, and his highest agility reached 170 points. Coupled with the elite-level [Gun Genius] expertise, which increased his output by nearly 40%, Zhou Ning himself couldn't imagine how terrifying his output would be.
Zhou Ning can be sure that with his current combat power, if he gives his all and plays all his cards, even if he still can't beat the perverts he knows in the current version, he can at least have a 30-70 chance, or even a 40-60 chance.
More importantly, there's still room for improvement. With players around, I never have to worry about where to get experience.
"There's a saying: 'With a sharp weapon in hand, the desire to kill naturally arises.' With my current strength, I should be able to cause trouble for the Cult of the Cursed God... When I return to Dockland, Harrison Rivers will be the one giving me a headache."
After the Roaming Gunner reached the maximum level of 30, Zhou Ning noticed that the job change button on the right side of the Roaming Gunner class on the game panel had also lit up. After clicking it, the panel displayed a prompt:
Job transfer requirements:
[10 professional specialties, testing completed. Current number is 7 (click to view).]
[4 core buff skills, detection completed, current number is 2 (click to view).]
[15 active skills, testing completed, current number is 10 (click to view).]
After reading all the job transfer requirements, Zhou Ning also received a new task.
[You trigger the D-level mission [Roaming Gunner (Job Change)]]
[Task Description: The roaming gunner class you created has reached a bottleneck. If you want to advance to the next level, you must improve your gun skills through practice.]
[Quest requirements: Defeat or kill 5 boss-level creatures using firearms.]
[Reward: Obtain [Roaming Gunner] Advanced Occupation Qualification]
Zhou Ning: ...
The job change requirements are quite demanding, and I have to enter a long process of skill integration, which should be quite painful. I even need to continue looking for skills through the simulator.
Although this job change task seems difficult, it is actually the easiest for me. Apart from anything else, Hogger, Herald Kirtonos, Swallower Ramsden, and even the Clown in the Purification of Stratholme dungeon are all BOSS-level creatures.
At worst, you can just clear the dungeon a few more times and complete the task in several times.
……
With the help of Zhou Ning's anti-poison potion, a player finally defeated Gnomeregan's first boss: Sticky Fallout. The result was incredibly exciting, as they gained a huge amount of experience and also obtained the game's first rare-grade staff: Water Vine, a classic example of exceptional equipment.
Not only does it increase frost resistance by 10 points and spirit by 3 points, it can even give players the extraordinary ability to breathe underwater. It is a top-notch item and can be equipped as long as you are level 12.
This harvest not only caused a sensation in the forum, but also filled the players of Xilin Town with endless motivation. When Zhou Ning came to Xilin Town Square with a new batch of potions and 10 letters of recommendation the next morning, they were quickly snatched up.
Compared with the extremely generous rewards of the dungeon, the initial investment of 200 Victoires seems nothing. It is still very cost-effective for a group of people to pool their money to buy a letter of recommendation.
When they returned to the camp after the last day's journey to Xilin Town at noon, Zhou Ning had almost exhausted the potential of all the players in Xilin Town, and earned countless extra money and experience, with extremely rich harvests.
Before leaving Xilin Town, Zhou Ning also gave Qingbai Yejiu a follow-up task that required a lot of experience. Qingbai Yejiu had to follow as a commentator for the time being.
However, when he saw Haicheng's face full of hope, he thought about it and gave him a follow-up task.
After observing him for a while, Zhou Ning felt that he was quite capable, and crucially, very wealthy, making him worth cultivating. Besides, after entering the meteorological tide, there were dangers everywhere, and a cannon fodder could be used to help scout the way. Since players could resurrect him anyway, he could use him without hesitation.
