Chapter 2: S-Class Talent

Indeed, this firearms store is an enterprise featured in "War Chronicles" and has been the focus of his efforts since he entered the game six months ago

As for the method of upgrading, for a sniper, grinding monsters like an ordinary profession is undoubtedly very unwise

In this game, players can engage in a multitude of activities, such as opening shops and conducting business, exploring ruins, and developing technology; they can establish companies, form conglomerates, and construct floating cities... Furthermore, it has been revealed by the officials that in the future, a space map will be unlocked for interstellar colonization

In just a short month, Fengluo has already gained 60% of the experience needed to level up by completing wanted missions, and the speed of leveling up can be described as being as fast as a rocket.

The mechanic is a life profession in the game, whose primary abilities include the manufacturing, repairing, modifying, and maintaining of various firearms and accessories

The potential of this game is undoubtedly immense; otherwise, it would not be so popular, occupying over 80 percent of the entire virtual gaming market and boasting a large user base

From the space backpack, take out the box containing the disassembled M110. Fengluo skillfully opens the box, takes out the oil cloth and maintenance tools, and carefully wipes and cleans each component of the M110.

After all, he is practicing two life professions simultaneously

Due to its small size, among the nearly 500,000 players in Silvermoon City, most have never visited this small shop. As a result, the business has always been mediocre

Generally speaking, reaching level 40 or above is considered to be part of the mainstream player base, especially for the sniper class, which lacks area attack capabilities and has a very slow leveling speed

Feng Luo walked into the inner room of the gun shop, which was several times larger than the storefront outside, arranged with various mechanical workstations.

The talent of the account "Windfall" is !

Because almost all equipment and auxiliary supplies, such as firearms, medicines, defenses, and even military vehicles, mechs, armed helicopters, submarines, and missiles, can be manufactured through life professions

After handing over his hunter card to the NPC beauty responsible for the acceptance of tasks, Feng Luo heard the second enchanting female prompt from the system

As for Old John, he is an NPC employee in his shop, to be precise, a white NPC gunsmith who is known for loafing around and being unproductive

In particular, this M110 in his hands is still his own proud creation, which naturally deserves careful maintenance

This also allows him to finally find the time to improve his level

As a highly realistic sci-fi online game, players in "Chronicles of War" are not limited to just battling and grinding monsters

In the game "War Chronicles", the advancement of levels is quite challenging

... ...

Many pieces of equipment in "War Chronicles" require maintenance, especially sniper rifles, which demand a high level of precision and must be maintained daily; otherwise, their attributes will decline

These two beautiful waitresses are mid-level sales NPCs he hired using credit points. They possess a good level of intelligence, and besides being able to sell goods and be pleasing to the eye, engaging in simple conversations is also completely within their capabilities

Old John is the gunsmith he saved during a previous mission, and since then, he has been staying here without leaving. He enjoys drinking large cups of vodka but always gets drunk after just one drink, so he is rarely sober for more than two hours each day

Talent Evaluation: S

Only a sniper can achieve the feat of taking a player's head from a kilometer away, delivering a single shot to the target's head

Silver Moon City, covering an area of several hundred thousand square meters, houses the Hunter's Guild with over one hundred floors

Master John went to the bar

"Wind Scar Gun and Ammunition Shop" is a small player-operated store located in the southern part of Silvermoon City, covering an area of just over 40 square meters, primarily selling firearms and ammunition.

Where is old John

Moreover, as a profession that possesses only single-target attack skills, the leveling efficiency of a sniper is completely incomparable to that of professions such as controllers and machine gunners, which have area-of-effect skills

In this hunting mission, for every wanted red-named player killed, one can obtain 20% of the experience points corresponding to the level of the defeated player. For someone of a lower level, this is nearly sufficient to gain 40% of their own experience points.

In "War Chronicle," the life professions differ from those in other games, where one can simply click a few times to automatically produce finished equipment. Instead, players must personally control the machines, or operate manually, and some equipment even requires personal design, testing, and modification

Thus, Fengluo chose to join the Hunter Guild to undertake systematic bounty missions

The wind turned its head and glanced around the shop, inquiring.

Lethal (Talent)

The intelligence level of high-level NPCs in "War Chronicles" is remarkably high, comparable to that of humans, and they possess their own lifestyles and personality preferences

After each account's game time reaches one month, it will be able to obtain a character talent assessed by the system, classified into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D, according to their strength and rarity

Certainly, compared to the complex manufacturing process of a military product in reality, the equipment in games is undoubtedly less complicated, not only simplified but also many steps can be accomplished with the assistance of intelligent machines

Boss

As Feng Luo entered, two NPC saleswomen, both with near-perfect proportions and appearances, dressed in Western cowboy attire, immediately bowed and greeted him sweetly.

Congratulations, your level has been upgraded to level 39

A top-tier talent most suitable for a sniper

Talent is a distinctive feature of the game "War Chronicles"

The player "Feng Zhi Luo Ye" has completed the E-level hunting task, earning 15,830 experience points, 800 credit points, and a refund of the task deposit of 1,000 credit points. Congratulations, your hunter level has increased, granting you the permission to undertake D-level hunting tasks

Certainly, the reason why the level of Fengluo has fallen so far behind the main forces is primarily because it had previously devoted its energy to other matters, and only in the past month has it begun to focus entirely on upgrades

Now, he has reached the level of "expert" in both of his professions, which is the current maximum level, and the business of the "Wind's Trace Ammunition Store" has also completely entered a stable phase

Calmly escape before the other party's accomplices realize what is happening

However, even so, practicing life skills still takes a considerable amount of time, which is why Feng Luo's level has fallen behind by so much

Although he occasionally takes the time to manufacture some firearms to sell while he is awake, without exception, they are all extremely ordinary items, yielding little profit when sold, just enough to cover his living expenses, and sometimes Feng Luo even has to subsidize some of it

Hidden tasks are elusive and cannot be sought after

After a flash of white light passed over him, his level finally reached 39, barely catching up with the tail end of mainstream players

Certainly, correspondingly, becoming a top-tier lifestyle professional player is not an easy task

Therefore, the impact of lifestyle players on the game can be even greater than that of combat players. This is because many of their products can significantly enhance the strength of players and even an entire faction

Feng Luolian has two professions: "Gunsmith" and "Ammunition Manufacturer." Some of the goods in this gun shop are products he has manufactured himself

In the game "Chronicles of War", the importance of life professions is no less than that of combat professions

Given his character's "talent" attribute, it would indeed be somewhat of a "waste of potential" if he were to merely practice a mundane profession

Most players ultimately receive a D-level talent, with only about one-tenth achieving a rating of C-level or above. As for the top-tier "S" level talents, each one that is revealed evokes envy and jealousy among countless players

The game has been live for half a year, yet to this day, the highest level among players is reportedly only level 49, with no one having reached the current version's level cap of 50.

This type of manhunt can almost be said to be specifically designed for snipers

Any profession in life requires a high level of knowledge and experience from players (which can be learned in the game). This aspect also reflects the "authenticity" of the game "Chronicle".

The final damage of normal attacks decreases to 75%, the final damage of weak point attacks increases by 50%, and the final damage of fatal attacks increases by 100%

However, Feng Luo did not intend to drive him away, because in his judgment, it was very likely that Old John was carrying some kind of hidden mission, but he had not yet found a way to trigger it

Because the price of the most common armor-piercing round is 3 credit points per shot, special bullets with attack bonuses are even more expensive. The consumption for simply killing monsters to level up is not something an average player can afford
