Chapter 3 [The God of Thieves] (S-rank)
All S-rank talents are unique and extremely rare.
In the second year of the game invasion in my previous life, the game released various rankings. Almost 80% of the information of people on the top 100 combat power rankings was completely exposed by people using props or talents. The remaining 20% had their information hidden by some unknown means. However, among the nearly 80 people exposed, only two had S-level talents, both of whom were in the top ten of the top 100 rankings.
There are only two, and both are related to the male protagonist: one is his brother, and the other is his second wife.
S-level divinely bestowed talents seem to be exclusive to the male and female protagonists' team.
Even if she can't develop for the next year, she still wants this talent!!
This talent allows her to rise rapidly while also suppressing her enemies.
More importantly, she has an extremely bold idea regarding skill 2.
It was already 4 o'clock when Yu Xunge selected her talent and entered the game. Ever since she drew an S-level talent, her heart hadn't slowed down.
The character appeared directly in a bustling but gloomy city. Most of the pedestrians around her were pale-faced undead, which seemed to be the main city of the undead race.
[Character] Kagaya En (Level 0, 0%)
[Divine Gift] God of Thieves (S-rank)
[Race] Undead (?)
[Racial Trait] Undead Will | Feeding
[Health Points]: 100/100
[Magic Power]: 100/100
[Strength]: 5
[Physical Constitution]: 6
[Intelligence]: 10
Agility: 11
[Lucky]: 8
[Charm]: 9
In addition to these basic attributes, there are also more detailed advanced attributes such as critical hit rate, critical hit damage, hit rate, and cooldown reduction.
She is currently penniless, and her immediate priority is to find a way to make money and then learn a skill.
She walked up to the nearest little figure with a question mark above its head, and after a few words, she received the task of cleaning up the city's rats, with a reward of 10 copper coins.
Although Yu Xunge rarely plays games, she always likes to be efficient. She first toured the city and accepted all the available tasks, from killing rats to delivering messages to running errands to buy corpse worm bread. She only started doing tasks when her task list was full.
On his way to deliver a message, he would kill rats; on his way to buy bread from corpse worms, he would buy wine for the blacksmith, and so on.
I completed 17 tasks in an hour and only earned 2 silver coins and a tattered cloth bag, which was my inventory. It had 6 slots and could hold up to 99 of the same type of item.
But none of these were her most important gains. In that hour, Yu Xunge was not so much doing a mission as she was strolling around the streets doing missions on the side. Yu Xunge would use the Thief God talent on every NPC she encountered.
The probabilities of 20% and 10% are indeed very low.
It's not that you're guaranteed to succeed 20 times if you steal from 100 people. Probability can sometimes seem like a mystery. When you're lucky, you might succeed every time, but when you're unlucky, the success rate can be so low that you'll question your existence.
I don’t know if drawing the Thief God talent has used up all my luck for today, but Yu Xunge has stolen from at least a hundred NPCs during the quest, but only succeeded three times.
Her luck stat is 8! And she succeeded three times!
But the harvest was plentiful.
[Rune Backpack] [A Bag of Money] [1 Point of Agility]
The rune backpack was a beautifully crafted backpack about the size of a palm, with 24 slots. Yu Xunge equipped it immediately after receiving it. In addition to one equipment slot, each person also has two inventory slots on their waist. She equipped both backpacks and planned to take them to the real world.
There are 18 gold coins inside the bag of money!
The exchange rate for gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins is 1:100. In her previous life, she lived for three years and did a lot of immoral things with her skills. Even though she was so immoral, she only had a little over 300 gold coins in her account before she died, which shows how valuable gold coins are.
After completing all the tasks, Yu Xunge stopped accepting new ones and instead went to learn new skills.
Seven hours of game time won't level you up much. The reason those who sneaked in early in the previous life were able to enter the top 100 list with B-level or even C-level talents was because they learned skills from the alien race during the closed beta.
These racial skills are simply impossible to teach to the Earthlings after the game's invasion.
It's not that Earthlings lack professional skills, but those skills require time and effort to learn. However, the closed beta is different. While one world is anchored to another in the form of a game, many things are also crudely gamified. It would take alien races money, time, and effort to learn their own professions, but in these short 7 hours, they can learn in the game world simply by following a progress bar.
Nowadays, game characters are considered fellow races by other races, and can easily learn various skills from "fellow race" NPCs by spending money. Even if they can only learn the basics, it is still a huge fortune.
With money in hand, Yu Xunge headed straight for his destination.
The character panel only has two skill slots, meaning she can only learn two skills, but there are no restrictions on life skills.
While traveling, she learned all the life skills she could find: [Cooking] (Beginner), [Fishing] (Beginner), [First Aid] (Beginner)
Almost instantly, Yu Xunge transformed from someone who couldn't cook into a skilled chef. Moreover, the food she made using her cooking skills could boost her attributes. Even though the boost wasn't much, she still didn't hesitate to spend 1 gold coin to learn all the recipes she could.
[First Aid] You can make bandages, but with everything gamified, modern medicine on Earth is no worse than this. However, learning it is better than nothing.
There are many professional skills in the game world, which can be roughly divided into three categories: gathering (herbalism, mining), crafting (alchemy, sewing, engineering, jewelry making, leatherworking, blacksmithing) and service (enchanting, inscription).
Yu Xunge doesn't consider gathering or services. The former is too easily replaceable, as many materials can be obtained by defeating monsters, and the latter is not very efficient at making money.
Yu Xunge entered the potion shop and spent 5 gold coins to learn basic alchemy.
Eight potion recipes have been unlocked: [Basic Healing Potion], [Basic Mana Potion], [Underwater Breathing Potion], [Basic Invisibility Potion], [Basic Strength Potion], [Basic Agility Potion], [Basic Constitution Potion], and [Basic Intelligence Potion].
Any potion blueprint here could have sold for 500 gold in my past life. Among the top 100 on the wealth list, apart from guild leaders and some people who were already powerful before the game's invasion, the wealthiest individuals only have a little over 700 gold coins.
With 13 gold coins remaining, she clicked to learn all the alchemy recipes available in the beginner alchemy skill.
After learning 37 alchemy recipes.
Account balance: 6 gold coins.
She then went to the herbalist shop to buy the herbs needed to make a Basic Healing Potion. In large cities, the herbs needed for this most basic potion are not expensive. One Basic Healing Potion costs 1 silver coin, while one set of herbs to make this potion costs 50 copper coins. She spent 4 gold coins to buy 400 sets of Basic Healing Potion herbs and 400 sets of Basic Mana Potion herbs. With the remaining money, she bought 3 sets of Basic Invisibility Potion herbs.
It was already 5:32.
She was penniless again.
The server shut down at 9:22, leaving her with less than 4 hours to play.
In her past life, she had also learned a blueprint for a rather useless potion. Once a Blue Star person learns the blueprint, they will learn the method of making this potion in their mind. As long as they recall this potion, it is as if someone is playing a potion-making video in their mind. Players can learn from the potion masters in the video.
Rounding it off, it's no different from learning to cook from netizens.
But now that the character is still in the game, Yu Xunge only needs to click once to refine, and the progress bar is very fast, producing a bottle of medicine in less than a second.
Yu Xunge almost always ran there, directly refining the potions in front of the crucible in the corner of the potion shop.
6:00
Yu Xunge has finished refining all 800 herbs. At first, when his proficiency was low, he would occasionally fail to refine them, but as he became more and more proficient, he never failed again.
Her bag now contains 397 bottles of basic healing potions, 392 bottles of basic mana potions, and 3 bottles of basic invisibility potions.
She barely stopped for a moment, only pausing for a couple of seconds to steal something when a strange customer entered the store.
After 803 attempts, her alchemy skills were directly upgraded to intermediate level, allowing her to upgrade her alchemy skills and learn new recipes.
The problem now is that she's out of money and has to go out and "borrow" from NPCs again.
She could sell over 700 bottles of potions, excluding the invisibility potion, to the potion shop owner, but the selling price was 1 silver coin, while the buyback price was only 80 copper coins! Even if she sold them all, she would only have a little over 6 gold coins, but upgrading from beginner to intermediate alchemy costs 100 gold coins.
A drop in the ocean.
I still have to be a street thief again, no, a master thief.
