Inside Qingfeng City.

Chen Ming ran to deliver the SSS-level task first.

As he expected, he gained a lot of experience, 8 silver coins, and a piece of heritage leather armor.

Introduction: A leather armor set inherited from ancient times, with the blood of top stealth masters still on it!

…

Finally, there is a cloak!

Chen Ming has a strange liking for cloaks.

I always feel that wearing a cloak will make the whole person look much more handsome.

Put on the cloak hood.

Chen Ming's attributes have increased dramatically again.

His appearance has also improved a lot.

"Still handsome."

Chen Ming is very satisfied with this set of equipment.

He only needs a pair of shoes to complete the whole set of equipment.

He came to the Adventurer's Guild and found a professional mentor.

After completing the task and getting the junior medal of the Thieves Guild, Chen Ming finally successfully changed his job to become a junior thief!

And the NPC mentor finally revealed his name.

"Dark Walker-Sophia".

After talking with Sophia, Chen Ming can learn two new skills.

One is the thief's signature skill, stealth!

It is also the skill used by the Queen's sister before.

Although this skill was learned from the Qingfeng City mentor, as long as you are lucky enough, it can also be exploded in the early stage, just like Chen Ming's poisoning.

The second skill is a thief's standard output skill, backstab!

Each skill requires 5 silver coins for tuition.

For ordinary players, it must be very painful.

But the rich man Chen Ming didn't even think about it and completed the learning twice.

"Congratulations on learning the skill [Stealth]."

"Ding——The race [Ghostly Shadow] talent skill [Stealth Mastery] is triggered, and the [Steal] skill is upgraded to [Shadow]!"

"Congratulations on learning the skill [Backstab]."

"Ding——The profession [Shadow Walker] talent skill [Assassination Mastery] is triggered, and the [Backstab] skill is upgraded to [Blade Storm]!"

Two prompt sounds popped out.

Chen Ming almost froze in place.

His hidden profession and hidden race... triggered passive skills at the same time? !

Is it true? !

Is this possible?

Chen Ming showed ecstasy.

Although he had long known that some thieves' skills would be upgraded by his talents.

But that was limited to the skills learned from the skill book.

He never thought that the skills he learned from his mentor through dialogue could also get such a blessing!

He quickly opened the skill bar to take a look.

[Shadow] (Purple Legend): The innate skill of the ghostly shadow race, which can escape into nothingness and hide itself, leaving only a shadow from one second ago in the outside world.

[Blade Storm] (Blue Rare): Use unique skills to control the flying dagger, so that the dagger forms a steel storm to strangle nearby enemies.

Purple Legend!

Blue Rare!

Chen Ming couldn't help but grin.

These two skills are simply awesome!

Especially [Shadow]!

The stealth of a normal thief will leave a not very clear black shadow, exposing the thief's location.

Top thieves need to rely on the help of terrain to be able to come and go without a trace.

The [Shadow] skill that Chen Ming obtained directly ignored this limitation!

The shadow he left behind was the position one second ago.

Although it is impossible to be completely invisible, it is much stronger than ordinary stealth!

Chen Ming was itching to try the skill.

He disappeared instantly, and after he walked a few steps, the shadow that had been there a second ago appeared quietly.

"It's a pity that there is still a delayed shadow that appeared a second ago. It would be better if I could be completely invisible... But it's just a thought, it's too unbalanced." Chen Mingzheng smiled and shook his head to deny his thoughts.

The next second.

He suddenly widened his eyes.

Wait!

The shadow that appears with the [Shadow] skill is exactly the same as the shadow that appears with the [Stealth] skill.

Does that mean... he can use this shadow to deceive others?

Thinking of this, Chen Ming was immediately impressed by his own flexible brain.

He is so damn smart!

This time, the little imperfection of the [Shadow] skill was completely made up!

"It's worthy of being a talent skill brought by the hidden race, so powerful!"

As for Blade Storm.

As the name suggests, it is an AOE skill.

The single-target damage of the thief profession is terrible, but it lacks in AOE.

Although the damage coefficient of the Blade Storm skill is not high enough, its strength lies in the range.

And it can be used with Chen Ming's poison skill!

From now on, he no longer needs to run around and stab monsters everywhere to use the poison skill.

A Blade Storm on the spot, done!

"Comfortable!"

Chen Ming was very satisfied with his harvest this time.

After doing this, he went to the stables near the Adventurer's Guild and bought a good horse for 50 silver coins.

According to the boss, this horse has the blood of ancient monsters.

Sure enough, it was much taller and stronger than an ordinary horse, and it also had a pair of horn-like things on its forehead.

Not like ordinary things.

The Malika Mountains are a long way away and without horses, Chen Ming might not be able to reach there even if he runs for seven or eight days.

Riding on the cow horse, Chen Ming galloped away with his whip.

The whole journey takes twenty hours.

Chen Ming doesn't plan to stay up all night.

That means it will take about two days.

We won't arrive at our destination until tomorrow evening.

In these two days, someone might work hard to catch up to his level.

However, after opening the novice treasure chest, there is no substantial reward for being first in level, it is just in name only.

Chen Ming doesn't care about fame.

What he cares more about is what kind of treasure is hidden in the chessboard puzzle that has troubled the world for several years in his previous life.

He believed that the treasure must be much more important than upgrading.

What's more, with Chen Ming's strength, it is easy to regain the level.

"I don't know what the reward for this thing is..."

Chen Ming was full of expectations.

…

In front of the puzzle cave.

There are more and more players sitting cross-legged, frowning and thinking.

But the number one spot on the ranking list remains unchanged.

She is still the top female student, a "female person"!

But it's different from before.

Her grades improved.

For half an hour, she played the game again and again.

From the beginning, he lost in only 16 hands, and climbed all the way to 32 hands.

It can be said that she can gain something from every game.

Until the end of the 32nd move, she did not immediately start the next round of fighting after failure as before. Instead, she closed her eyes and thought carefully.

as time goes by.

Others slowly caught up.

There is no exception.

All at 32 moves, they stopped.

Initially, when the melon-eating crowd saw the big guys exerting their strength one after another, they all thought they could easily win the chess game.

But who would have thought...

The big guys actually all stopped at the 32nd move.

"What's going on? Is this move difficult?"

"It seems...all the big guys are stuck here."

"The boss is so awesome, I can't even get out of 10 moves!"

"I hope the big guys can break through as soon as possible and let us see what treasures are inside."

Just when everyone was talking about it.

Finally, the female figure sitting cross-legged on the ground opened her eyes.

"The female streamer has opened her eyes! Is she going to start a new challenge?"

"Every time the female streamer makes a move, there are new developments, and I believe it will be the same this time!"

"As expected of a top student at Tsinghua University, you came up with a way to decipher it so quickly?"

"She is really a woman who is not inferior to men! She is amazing!"

Everyone praised it one after another.

But what everyone didn't expect was.

The female streamer did not advance to the next chess game.

Instead, he stood up, glanced around the cave with complex eyes, and finally shook his head, "This chess game... none of us here can break it!"

A word.

Shock everyone!
