Chapter 3: Level A Skills

This skill, indeed

Zhang Mu observed that the fat man had calmed down. "I will let go now, but you must not shout recklessly again, otherwise I will chop you up before the monster tears you apart, understood?"

Although the canine humanoid is a strength-type monster, its speed is not inferior to that of Zhang Mu due to its level advantage. The physical condition of an ordinary person is fundamentally incapable of competing with it

Invincible state

Magic: 20 (100%)

Zhang Mu lowered his voice and said, "Drive over and hit it."

Constitution: 6

Hint: Defeat the first monster to obtain player qualification

Amidst the system notification sound, Zhang Mu became a Level 2 Ranger. A faint glow enveloped him, healing all his wounds and significantly increasing his attributes

The heavyset man pressed the accelerator, started the truck, and drove towards the bridge

The fat on the fat man's body is trembling, "Are we really going to drive over?"

Notification: Level Up!

The monsters on the bridge are primarily the "Blade Hound" and the "Club Hound". The Blade Hound is a level 3 common monster, while the Club Hound is a level 2 common monster. Slaying the Blade Hound and crossing over to eliminate level 2 monsters naturally yields a considerable amount of experience.

Zhang Mu quickly crawled out from the windshield after clearing the shattered glass with a fire axe

This is undoubtedly a remarkable skill

The effect of the "Divine Blessing" has not yet faded, and due to the upgrade, all attributes have significantly improved. At this moment, it is not inferior even when compared to a Level 3 Dogman. Zhang Mu swung his axe; if he aimed for the head, a single strike could take down the Dogman. Damage to other parts would vary according to their criticality, but would not exceed four axe strikes.

The golden skill orb is right in front of us

A dog-man leaped two meters high, crashing onto the windshield, its fierce visage lunging towards the car window. The sight of its sharp teeth sent chills down one's spine, causing the fat man to collapse on the spot, his pants soaked in a large area, the smell of urine permeating the driver's cabin

Zhang Mu jumped down from the truck and quickly rushed towards the golden skill ball. At that moment, a stick dog blocked his path, swinging a club towards Zhang Mu's head. Without a hint of panic, Zhang Mu bent down, feeling the gust of wind brush past his hair. Using the momentum of his forward charge, he swung the fire axe down fiercely, striking the stick dog's abdomen, causing blood to splatter and its intestines to spill onto the ground.

A dog-man trapped beneath an overturned truck was struggling to free itself from under the vehicle. Zhang Mu jumped down from the truck and struck it with an axe, causing the dog-man's brain to splatter, resulting in instant death. [Experience Points] immediately increased from 0% to 28%

The ranger is a profession primarily focused on physical abilities, with attack power ranking below that of the berserker and assassin, defense below that of the shield warrior and knight, and burst damage below that of the assassin, while stealth capabilities are weaker than those of the rogue, and ranged attack capabilities are inferior to those of the archer. Overall, the attributes are quite average, lacking any standout features, yet they are remarkably well-rounded.

Experience: Achieved 99%

Without a moment's hesitation, Zhang Mu made his choice—Ranger

Less talk

The sphere of light descending from the sky is a skill orb

Spirit: 6

Successful Career Choice

At last, with the third swing, the heavy fire axe cleaved the skull completely open, and the repulsive brain matter mixed with blood gushed out, filling the vehicle with a foul stench. The canine figure howled and collapsed, and although half of its body remained in the car, it had already lost its vitality

Player information has been loaded

Bang

The expression of the fat man changed several times, and finally he gradually calmed down

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, a dilapidated large truck on the bridge tipped over to the right, its heavy body sliding forward a few meters upon hitting the ground. Sparks flew as debris scattered across the ground, creating a scene of astonishing magnitude

Boom!

Attribute Enhancement

The overweight man nodded vigorously

Experience Upgrade: 0%

There is no place that is safe now; the density of monsters is related to the density of humans. If you escape back, it will be a dead end. Zhang Mu spoke at a steady pace, neither fast nor slow, "If you want to survive, you must listen to me - the book!"

Aaaah!

Every profession can take on countless forms; there is no strongest or weakest.

Zhang Mu delivered a blow with an axe, splitting the head of the dog in half, resulting in instant death

Zhang Mu did not have time to feel joy, as two knife hounds charged forward, barking fiercely. The knife hounds are level 3 monsters, with attributes far superior to Zhang Mu in every aspect. The weapon of the knife hounds is a rusty large machete, swinging with a fierce gust of wind towards Zhang Mu. Without a moment's hesitation, Zhang Mu activated the skill "Divine Blessing"!

Prompt: Do you wish to immediately absorb the skill [Divine Blessing]?

Zhang Mu forcefully swung the fire axe, striking the face of another dog. The dog was lifted into the air and fell heavily to the ground. Its mouth was split open, with its tongue hanging out, and broken teeth scattered everywhere. It howled in agony, unable to rise for a long time, with its health reduced by approximately 35%. Zhang Mu stepped on it and mercilessly smashed its head to pieces.

Zhang Mu said calmly: "Listen carefully"

This guy is still alive

The golden skill orb is located approximately fifty meters away

The vehicle had not yet come to a complete stop when a canine figure lunged at the right side, swinging a knife to shatter the glass. Before the canine figure could climb inside, Zhang Mu raised his axe and struck it down on the figure's neck. The tough fur was cleaved open, and the entire driver's seat was splattered with warm, foul-smelling blood

At this moment, the fat man’s face turned crimson as he shouted and swung down with a hammer, shattering the dog’s fangs. The fat man lunged forward, unleashing a frenzied barrage of blows; his strength was astonishing. Within just a few strikes, the dog’s face was reduced to a pulp, blood splattering all over the fat man’s face. With the fourth blow, the dog’s head was crushed.

Zhang Mu Lian did not think twice and swung the fire axe at the windshield. With a sharp "whoosh," the entire glass shattered completely, and shards of glass flew everywhere. One piece cut Zhang Mu's cheek, while the axe struck the dog's head, causing it to lose its grip and roll down from the side. It fell to the ground, where its head was successively run over by the wheels, resulting in a shattered skull and blood and brain matter spilling all over the ground

The dog howled and fell to the ground

[Divine Blessing LV1], A-level skill, maximum level LV9, consumes 50% of magic points, invincible for 1 second, cooldown time of S-level and below skills is reset, all attributes increased by 25% for 120 seconds, cooldown time (CD) 60 minutes

At that moment, a dog-man climbed onto the left side of the glass and suddenly struck it with a knife, shattering it into pieces. "Ah—" The fat man was startled, his hand slipped, the steering wheel jerked, and the truck lost its balance, causing the entire world to suddenly flip and overturn.

The golden skill orb must be the skill that Zhang Mu desires!

There are more than a dozen basic professions, including swordsman, knight, berserker, assassin, elemental mage, summoner, and so on. The system will transmit the profession information to the players, and once a player selects a profession, it cannot be changed; it will serve as the direction for future development

Please select a profession

Skills can be categorized into seven levels: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F. A-level skills are rare and cannot be sought after. Two months later, even D-level skills will be extremely scarce worldwide, only obtainable from powerful bosses that are capable of defeating enemies or through completing tasks of exceptionally high difficulty. There are no more than ten individuals possessing A-level skills, all of whom have acquired them by chance from gifted skill orbs

In the direction of Jiang City, a series of explosions echoed, accompanied by the roars of monsters and the screams of humans, merging into a chaotic symphony. The city had long since descended into disorder, likely filled with monsters

The large truck was surrounded by four dog-men, one of whom had already climbed inside, from which a fat man's furious shout could be heard. Zhang Mu rushed over with an axe, delivering a heavy blow to the back of the stick dog, reducing its health by 20%. He reached out and pulled the stick dog down to the ground. Raising the axe, he struck down heavily, severing its cervical vertebra, and blood gushed from the artery, spraying up to a height of one meter.

On the Jiangcheng Bridge, over a hundred skill orbs fell, attracting a canine creature towards a golden skill orb. The canine creature is a level 3 or higher monster, with nearly twenty of them present, and no one has been able to deal with them in the past seven days. The skill orbs exist for 24 hours before disappearing, and these special skill orbs are not only extremely rare but also very difficult to obtain

Do not panic

As a result, eight or nine dog-men were struck and sent flying on the spot, with a few unfortunate ones crushed under the wheels, only the sound of bones cracking could be heard from beneath the vehicle. A splatter of blood stained the windshield, and the fat man was completely stunned, pressing the accelerator hard and continuing to drive, completely scattering the ranks of the dog-men.

The stout man did not hesitate and immediately turned the vehicle around. More than ten canine beings took advantage of the slow speed of the truck to leap onto it, climbing up and down in just a few moments.

CD release

The overweight individual was only focused on screaming, losing the ability to think and judge. As soon as Zhang Mu shouted, he immediately stepped on the brakes

The dogs saw a large truck approaching head-on and all began to bark wildly, surprisingly not dodging or evading, but brazenly charging towards the truck.

Strength: 6

Zhang Muqi struck the dog's head with an axe, severing large chunks of flesh and exposing the skull, blood gushing forth

At the moment the dog-man's large axe came crashing down, Zhang Mu was enveloped in a halo of light. In an invincible state, he was unable to take damage, causing the dog-man to stagger back. Zhang Mu swung his axe, knowing that it would take three or four strikes to kill the dog-man. Aiming for the head would inflict greater damage; with just one swing, the axe shattered the dog-man's skull, reducing its health to zero.

Players absorb skill orbs to acquire an initial skill. Although more than ninety-nine percent of the skill orbs may seem useless, they are crucial for survival in the early stages. The skill orbs will disappear after twenty-four hours, and each person can obtain a skill only once; no one can absorb the same orb again.

Life: 20 (100%)

Zhang Mu eagerly picked up the skill orb, which was just about the size of a fist. The moment he touched it, a piece of information was transmitted.

Occupation: Ranger

Zhang Mu swung the axe a second time, and with a crack, the skull of the dog man shattered

The dog-man did not die; instead, he became even more frenzied due to his injuries, desperately trying to climb into the car. However, the window was too small, making it impossible for him to get in at that moment.

Go back!

The fat man, still shaken, wiped the blood from his chubby face, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and stammered, "Boss... Boss... I took down a... a monster!"

The dog man struggled wildly, as if in a frenzy

Zhang Musong released his hand

The hefty man shouted as he pressed down on the accelerator, and the truck sped back towards the bridge, catching several canine men off guard, who were instantly crushed under the wheels, flattened into meat patties. Other canine men swarmed over the truck like ants, and the truck's speed increased, resembling a frenzied beast.

The thick smell of blood in the air outside was enough to make one want to vomit, with four or five completely flattened corpses of dog-men lying around, surrounded by entrails and blood. Zhang Mu had long been accustomed to such sights and smells, feeling no discomfort whatsoever.

Zhang Mu pulled the corpse of the dog-man away from the front of the truck and shouted, "Fatty, throw out the backpack and the suitcase, we need to leave here!" After Fatty threw out the backpack and the suitcase, Zhang Mu pulled him out from the overturned truck

Zhang Mu's body radiated light, and a powerful force surged into him, enhancing his physique nearly twofold compared to before, rivaling that of a robust man, and his speed was comparable to that of a professional athlete.

The fat man showed a look of terror, but with his mouth covered, he could only make a sound like "murmur".

Zhang Mu was enveloped in light, and an emotionless voice echoed in his ears

Agility: 7

Stop the vehicle

"What are you panicking for!" Zhang Mu was struck during the crash, resulting in a head injury and a life status reduced to around 80%. He took a hammer out of his suitcase and handed it to the fat man: "Take this, protect yourself!"
