My career aspirations have come true.

Chapter 75 Long-Range Slash, Overlord

After organizing the extraordinary materials and equipment, Lin Ze's gaze fell on the most important spoils of war.

There are nearly two hundred cards in total.

The vast majority of them are of the common grade, with only four being of the excellent grade.

Even so, the value of this pile of cards alone far exceeds the sum of all the materials and equipment mentioned earlier.

Lin Ze carefully examined each page.

Most common cards are of fairly common types, but there are also some that are less common.

For example, stealth skill cards.

This is a prerequisite skill for becoming a Shadow Striker.

Lin Ze recalled the requirements for becoming a Shadow Assassin in his mind.

Needless to say, his current five attributes are more than enough to meet the job advancement requirements of any one-star class.

In terms of skills, you need to master stealth and any slashing skill.

In terms of talent, one must master dark vision.

"I already have slashing skills."

"If it's dark vision, then thermal vision can be covered."

Higher-level talents can cover the needs of lower-level talents.

Now that he has acquired the stealth skill, it means that Lin Ze can have Jingzhe remove the Extreme Slaughter Sword class and change his class to Shadow Assassin whenever he wants.

After successfully advancing to the Winter Solstice and reverting to the basic class during the Awakening of Insects, you can then recreate the Extreme Slaughter Sword class.

"After changing to Shadow Slayer, you will gain Shadow Escape. Then, upgrade Shadow Escape and Blood Manipulation to the maximum level, and you will have met the prerequisite skills for advancing to Crimson Count."

Lin Ze secretly made his plans.

With [Drilling Honeycomb], this is easy to do.

"The prerequisite talents are Energy Perception and Shadow Affinity."

Of the four excellent-grade cards seized, one happened to be the Energy Perception card.

Lin Ze used it on Dong Zhi on the spot.

[You have mastered the talent 'Energy Perception (Excellent)', Constitution +0.1, Spirit +0.3, Perception +0.3]

"Now all that's left is shadow affinity."

Shadow Affinity is a rare talent that can be obtained by synthesizing the superior-grade "Dark Rhythm" and "Dark Sleep".

Lin Ze had already begun to train Dong Zhi in these two talents some time ago.

One of the lower-level talents of Dark Rhythm is dark vision, which is accompanied by thermal vision. Winter Solstice's training progress in this area is very rapid.

In contrast, Darksleep's training progress has been somewhat slow.

Lin Ze had been searching for a lower-tier talent for Dark Sleep, but he couldn't find a suitable one in the Legion's exchange vault or on the forums. He never expected to find his target in the loot.

[Hibernation Breathing]

Common-level talent cards.

The effect is that when completely still, one can voluntarily enter a low-energy breathing mode, reducing the basal metabolic rate and sense of presence, while the speed of physical recovery is slightly accelerated.

Without hesitation, Lin Ze had Dongzhi use the card.

[You have mastered the talent 'Hidden Breathing (Normal)', Constitution +0.2, Spirit +0.1]

The improvement that ordinary-level talents can provide to Lin Ze is now pitifully small.

In fact, once you reach level 5, the boost from ordinary talents and skills is significantly reduced.

Only skills and talents of excellent quality or higher can bring significant improvements.

This is also a problem that many professionals face after reaching a certain level.

Those with resources are better off; they can acquire high-quality skills to improve their attributes, and even use some rare and exotic items to enhance their attributes.

However, most ordinary professionals, if they cannot acquire new skills, can only rely on accumulating practical experience and training over time to slowly improve their attributes.

While the professional power system resembles a game, it is not a real game. It's not just skills and talents that can improve attributes; training and combat can also play a similar role.

It just doesn't have the immediate effect of skill upgrades; it takes years to see results, so the process is slow.

Some people with poor aptitude may work hard their whole lives but still not be able to break through their current level.

Because of his clones and career advancement, Lin Ze's attributes improved rapidly, so he didn't feel the effects very deeply.

"With the lower-level talent, in a month or two at most, I should be able to master Dark Rhythm and Dark Sleep."

Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction and looked at the remaining three excellent-grade cards.

[Purifying Prayer], [Curse Spreads], [Air Blade Extension]

【Purifying Prayer】is a support skill that can remove negative status effects, making it suitable for healing classes such as Hand of Light.

【Curse Spreads】 can enhance the power of curse-type skills and is commonly seen in professions such as Lich, Curse Child, and Bone Whisperer.

These two skills are completely unrelated to his current profession.

However, the [Air Blade Extension] gave him a pleasant surprise.

This is because this excellent-grade talent is one of the talents used to synthesize [Extreme Range Slash].

[Extreme Slash] is one of the prerequisite talents for the Extreme Slaughter Sword to advance to the Infinite Sword Spirit.

It allows a professional's slashes to ignore distance and hit the target directly within a certain range, making it a treasure talent for sword-wielding professions.

"The talent for synthesizing long-range slashes, as I recall, includes air blade extension, kinetic energy transfer, and visual anchoring. The first two are of excellent quality, while visual anchoring is of rare quality."

All three talents were quite difficult to acquire, and Lin Ze was quite pleased to have completed one-third of them in one go.

"Gang Quan still has quite a few good things in his hands."

Lin Ze immediately used the card.

[You have mastered the talent 'Spirit Blade Extension (Excellent)', Strength +0.4, Constitution +0.3, Spirit +0.3]

The talent effect of Air Blade Extension is that it can transform the force of a slash into an arc-shaped air blade that flies out, with its power gradually decreasing as the distance increases.

Simply put, it gives professionals the ability to unleash sword energy.

It's a very useful talent.

After counting the cards, the remaining loot was rather unremarkable.

There were only one or two rare items, and their effects were not very good.

Come to think of it, with the challenge level of the [Drilling Honeycomb], it's incredibly difficult to find rare items.

The storage marks currently used by the Gangquan leadership are most likely obtained through transactions with Broken Cliff.

Regardless, Lin Ze was very satisfied with today's gains.

It solved many of his problems.

In fact, there was a great deal of luck involved in today's actions.

Lin Ze was unaware that Gangquan was going to hold a meeting beforehand, but he accidentally wiped out Gangquan's core senior executives and cadres, saving himself a lot of trouble.

They also harvested a large amount of soul energy.

The solidification of the third soul crystal was already more than halfway complete.

The third spiritual baptism is not far off.

After tidying everything up and putting it back into the storage mark, Lin Ze leaned back on the sofa and pondered his next plan.

Advancing the Ultimate Slaughter Sword is not something that can be accomplished in a short time; it must be done step by step.

Furthermore, one must wait until the third soul baptism is completed and the fourth clone can be summoned before there is a spare slot to change to a Spirit Awakener, then advance to a Spirit Power User, and finally merge with the Extreme Slaughter Sword to advance.

Then comes the two-star advancement for the Winter Solstice, which can also be done according to plan.

Finally, there is the advanced stage of Frost's Descent.

Lin Ze looked at the aloof girl beside him.

Martial Artists can merge with the two-star Mind Hunter class to advance to the three-star Overlord class.

However, for now, we should focus on advancing the Ultimate Slaughter Sword. Once the main body is advanced to a three-star class, we can consider creating clones later.

Having made up his mind, Lin Ze got up, stretched, and looked out the window at the deepening night, a deep smile flashing across his face.

"Let's strike while the iron is hot and take care of that other troublesome fellow as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three clones vanished silently from the living room.

Lin Ze slowly got up and walked towards the door.

"go home."
