Chapter 244: Chapter 242: The Infiltrator_1

Lin Er’er felt extremely frustrated.

His sister only mentioned that the initial job strengths varied, but she didn’t tell him how to actually evaluate the strengths of these starting jobs.

What a sister...

"Fine, I’ll just have to rely on intuition."

Lin Er’er concluded, "This guide might as well have said nothing at all."

Fortunately, after trying out a few, he could still subtly sense the differences.

It felt like he had switched jobs several times, Lin Er’er vaguely realized.

The two jobs that seemed most suited for him were the Rogue and the Wizard.

"Then I’ll choose the Rogue."

Lin Er’er pondered for a long time and made up his mind.

While it’s true that a Wizard would never be the worst choice under any circumstances...

But how do I say this... He did not like standing in the back row.

He also disliked charging to the front—

The profession he liked was the kind where only I’m allowed to hit you, and you’re not allowed to hit me. A control-type Wizard or a Rogue skilled in invisibility were both professions he would often play in MMORPGs.

[Confirm initial profession - Rogue?]

"Confirmed."

Lin Er’er answered affirmatively.

Immediately, everything in front of him disappeared, replaced by a pure black standing mirror.

A line of text emerged above it:

[Please name your game character]

[Warning: Once the name is confirmed, it cannot be changed!]

"Four Concealed Triplets."

Lin Er’er replied.

Although at first, he thought that contract was a joke...

But he only scanned through it and pretty much remembered the content of the contract.

Considering that his usual ID was too long to remember, Lin Er’er simplified it as much as possible.

—Keeping only the essential element of the nickname "Tile Brother".

This unexpectedly aligned with the naming philosophy of Longjing tea...

The mirror rippled again, and then displayed the initial attributes for Four Concealed Triplets:

[ID: Four Concealed Triplets]

Human, Male, Level 5

Health: 100%

Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 7, Constitution 5, Perception 5, Willpower 5

Free attribute points: 3

Communal Experience: 0

Initial Profession Overview—

Rogue LV5: [Stealth Level 1], [Nimble Hands Level 1], [Backstab Level 1]

Free skill points: 7

Since he was playing a Rogue—Four Concealed Triplets didn’t think too much and wanted to put all his attribute points into Agility.

—But then he had another thought.

Considering that he might need to take on the role of detecting traps, he tentatively put one of the three points into the Perception attribute. After discovering that he could cancel it, he tried adding points to each attribute in turn.

"Hmm, aside from Willpower and Constitution, I can add to all attributes?"

Four Concealed Triplets muttered, "That means for a Rogue, Agility is a primary attribute, while Strength and Perception are secondary attributes..."

He hesitated for a moment but then chose to add one point to each of the three attributes.

Four Concealed Triplets clearly knew that without the ability to reset points... evenly distributed points are clearly inferior to optimally distributed points but obviously superior to the extreme method of adding points incorrectly.

As for the three skills below—

Four Concealed Triplets recognized at a glance that these obviously represented the three major development paths of the Rogue profession.

Tendency towards stealth and concealment, tendency towards item usage, tendency towards assassination.

"...Now this is a conundrum."

Four Concealed Triplets furrowed his brows and pondered.

He had seven skill points... This meant his allocation would significantly impact his professional orientation. But he couldn’t exit to ask his sister what to choose, nor could he look up a guide online.

"I can only rely on my own Wisdom now!"

He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He read the skill description for the fourth time:

[Stealth Level 1: Hides oneself within the environment, making it difficult to be detected. At the current level, moving will disrupt the stealth effect.]

[Nimble Hands Level 1: The rogue possesses a pair of nimble hands that can be used to create and use complex tools as well as to install or remove traps. At the current level, simple locks can be removed fairly quickly.]

[Backstab Level 1: When attacking from behind, one can subconsciously hit the enemy’s weak spots. At the current level, it requires observing the enemy for five seconds before it can be used.]

After that, Lin Er’er carefully added one skill point to each and observed the changes in the descriptions:

[Stealth Level 2: Hide one’s figure within the environment, making it difficult to be detected. At the current level, slow movement is likely to break the stealth effect.]

[Nimble Hands Level 2: The rogue possesses a pair of nimble hands that can be used to create and use complex tools as well as to install or remove traps. At the current level, one can quickly remove simple locks, and there’s a high probability of successfully stealing from characters with a perception less than 5 (self-dexterity - 3).]

[Backstab Level 2: Attack from the enemy’s blind spot to more accurately find and hit their weak spots. At the current level, one needs to observe the enemy for four seconds before it can be used.]

Lin Er’er’s pupils slightly brightened.

——He understood.

Although he did not know what the correct skill distribution was... he realized that the "skill point consumption rate" for different skills was completely different.

According to the skill descriptions——at least at level 4, one would be able to move slowly while in stealth.

Backstab, on the other hand, would require reaching level 6 before it could be instantly used without observation... if there was a level 6.

Before that, the difference between five seconds of observation and four didn’t matter much.

A rogue cannot add points to vitality, which probably means this class is destined to be squishy. If he couldn’t escape, his only option would be to burst out in output.

In that case, there’s actually no need to put points in Backstab.

Considering the class’s role, if he wanted to get close to the enemy... unless he used ’F’ for an airborne assassination, stealth was the only way to approach without being noticed, short of the enemy being deaf and blind.

Thus, Stealth needed to be at a level where it could be used while moving——and during the approach, Backstab would be already fully prepared.

For caution’s sake, Lin Er’er continued adding skill points one level at a time.

When he increased Stealth to level 4, its description suddenly changed:

[Stealth Level 4: Hide one’s figure within the environment, making it difficult to be detected. At the current level, slow movement will not break the stealth effect.]

[At Level 4: Three seconds after enemies lose sight of you, you can attempt to re-enter stealth]

——That’s it!

Lin Er’er’s eyes glimmered.

Indeed, skills develop special effects after reaching a certain level...

Given this pattern, the next special level is either 6 or 7.

He had a total of seven skill points, having already used five, leaving him with two.

If they were all put into Stealth, it still wouldn’t reach the next level.

In that case...

Without a doubt, he should level up [Nimble Hands]!

Ignoring the necessity of the Stealth skill, Nimble Hands had the highest single-level improvement.

He had to at least learn to install or remove traps.

The two remaining skill points should also get Nimble Hands to level 4, earning the special effect...

Soon, Nimble Hands was also elevated to level 4 by Lin Er’er:

[Nimble Hands Level 4: The rogue possesses a pair of nimble hands, capable of quickly dismantling complex locks and having a high probability of stealing from individuals with a perception less than 6 (self-dexterity - 2); can dismantle or arrange simple traps.]

[At Level 4: Equivalent to possessing "Dagger Mastery Level 1", "Throwing Mastery Level 1", "Firearms Mastery Level 1"]

"Good, perfect!"

Lin Er’er murmured in approval.

Just as he expected——

"Backstab" didn’t need many points early on. "Stealth" was already serviceable for the moment, and he didn’t expect to be able to run while stealthed, as that would be too costly.

When it comes to cost-effectiveness, "Nimble Hands" is definitely the highest-yielding skill!

"Only I could have realized this..."

Lin Er’er smiled with satisfaction.

He didn’t fuss much over character creation.

Because he simply removed his nearsightedness and maxed it out—he considered that a thief surely couldn’t be nearsighted, and he wasn’t sure if glasses existed in this era.

It would be quite the joke if his blurry vision caused him to kill the wrong person.

However, correcting his nearsightedness was an unexpected bonus...

Then, two lines of text appeared before him.

[Return to the material world]

[Enter the land of mists]

"That’s definitely starting the game!" Lin Er’er exclaimed loudly.

Without any hesitation, he chose the second option.

...He felt as though he had forgotten something.

But no matter, the game was more
