A Level 3 professional!
This is going to be troublesome!
But for Ma Wen, it was just a little. Now that there was only one person left, the pressure on him was much lighter.
Using a machete, a gang member, Agility and Strength were not low, most likely a Mafia Swordsman. This special Level 1 profession was a variant of a Warrior, but it was more inclined towards attack and had average physique.
Ma Wen quickly glanced at the data panel. He had just killed four Akron Mafia members and gained 59 Slaughter EXP. A Level 2 Ranger required 50 Slaughter EXP!
He quickly allocated the 50 Slaughter EXP to Ranger. A warm current passed through his body, and he immediately became a Level 2 Ranger!
With the increase in level, his Health Points increased by 13, for a total of 50 Health Points. At the same time, he gained 24 Profession Skill Points without any Free Attribute Points. Free Attribute Points were a precious resource that could only be obtained by leveling up two professions.
Of the 24 Profession Skill Points, he allocated four to Sneak and kept the remaining 20 for now.
The Mafia Swordsman came aggressively and slashed down with great force!
He wanted to split Ma Wen in half!
Ma Wen was unmoved and extremely calm. With a casual dodge, he circled behind a large tree.
Bang!
The Mafia Swordsman slashed again! Ma Wen jumped back, and the machete directly hit the book. The bark was broken, and wood splinters flew!
"Go to hell!"
The Mafia Swordsman roared with a fierce expression. He suddenly exerted force and pulled the machete out. Who knew that at this moment, Marvin would suddenly lunge forward and crash into his arms!
The Mafia Swordsman was caught off guard and staggered a few steps back from Ma Wen's impact. The machete in his hand almost fell out of his hand!
Now!
Even under high speed, he could quickly make all kinds of battle-related decisions. This was a kind of combat instinct.
A cold light flashed, and the machete slashed horizontally towards the Mafia Swordsman's waist!
In the next second, a sharp pain came from Ma Wen's right hand. The Mafia Swordsman grinned and grabbed Ma Wen's wrist with both hands.
"Do you think you can hurt me?"
Ma Wen did not say a word. He ignored the pain and the battle record that kept popping up.
[Normal attack failed, right wrist captured, appraising resistance …]
[My strength is being suppressed. I can't break free!]
Just as the knife-wielding man was feeling proud of himself, Ma Wen's left hand, like the coldest viper, appeared near the knife-wielding man's neck.
He held a dagger in his left hand. This was one of the spoils of war that the thief had left behind, and it was barely usable.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream pierced through the night sky, and Ma Wen mercilessly slashed his throat!
The man loosened his grip and fell to the ground in horror.
Fresh blood flowed, and not long after, the twitching gangster swordsman died a violent death.
Ma Wen rubbed his aching wrist, thinking to himself that the strength of this knifehand was above 16 points. Unfortunately, his combat experience was too weak.
Dying at the hands of the former ruler of the night wasn't an injustice.
He did a quick search and found that the knife-wielding man was quite wealthy, with a total of 29 silver coins. There were also some miscellaneous items, but they weren't worth much.
Unfortunately, Marvin did not find any information on why the Akron mafia members wanted to kill him on their corpses.
Why would a gang want to make life difficult for a poor and destitute nobleman?
It was illogical.
Murdering a nobleman was a serious crime. If it was exposed, the Akron gangsters would definitely be destroyed. Even if Ma Wen was just a destitute nobleman who had lost his territory.
Killing him wouldn't give them anything. The risk and reward weren't proportional. It was too strange.
After hastily disposing of the five corpses, Ma Wen was no longer in the mood to catch crabs. He was ready to return to River Beach and find out who wanted to kill him.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the soul-bound mission in the mission panel had changed.
In the description of the mission, the following words were added:
"… The pursuit near the River of Pine Tree made you realize that something was wrong. Someone wants to kill you, and this is most likely related to the group of Gnolls that mysteriously appeared around your territory. There are crooks and honest folk mixed together in River Beach, but no matter who the mastermind is, as long as he wants to achieve his goal, the truth will come to light one day. "
At the same time, the main mission had an additional side mission, "Mastermind". The gist of it was for Ma Wen to find out who the mastermind was.
The reward of the side mission was not bad, 100 points of universal experience. Ma Wen would definitely find out the truth anyway, so the 100 points were almost free.
…
On the way back to the city, he carefully chose a secluded and safe path to avoid the possible presence of other Akron gangsters.
As he walked, he flipped through the battle log. This was a good habit. He could review the battle afterward, calculate the gains and losses, and summarize the problems.
In the long run, his combat level would definitely improve.
But what surprised him was that he found a few lines in the battle log.
[You repeatedly used a standard technical move in battle. The similarity with the Phantom Assassin's professional skill, Cut Throat is more than 98%. Spend 500 Slaughter EXP to turn it into your personal exclusive skill.]
[You repeatedly used a standard technical move in battle. The similarity with the Phantom Assassin's professional skill, Shadow Cut is more than 95%. Spend 2000 Slaughter EXP to turn it into your personal exclusive skill.]
[Because you repeatedly used the technical moves of other professions in battle, one of your personal abilities will be closer to this aspect. Personal ability creation progress: 9100]
…
"Using the skills of other professions can actually be turned into my personal exclusive skill?"
Ma Wen was slightly stunned. He had never heard of such a thing before.
However, he soon realized that it wasn't that simple. The battle log clearly stated that one must repeatedly use a "standard" technical move, and at the same time, have a certain level of similarity. Only then could one spend Slaughter EXP to turn it into one's personal exclusive skill. Personal exclusive skills could not be increased by skill points. One could only slowly increase the skill level through continuous training.
Ma Wen also noticed that it seemed that the more similar the standard technical move was to the original skill, the less Slaughter EXP he needed to spend. Cut Throat and Shadow Cut were both the signature skills of the Phantom Assassin, but the difference in Slaughter EXP between the two was like heaven and earth.
"500 Slaughter EXP …"
To be honest, Ma Wen was a little tempted, but he also felt a little bitter. Slaughter EXP was very difficult to obtain, and it was one of the highest levels of experience. If he spent Slaughter EXP on this, then there was no doubt that it would delay his leveling speed.
However, this problem was not yet solved, because he only had 39 undistributed Slaughter EXP on hand. It was still far from the 500 mark.
What he was more concerned about was the personal ability. In his previous life, he had never heard of any ability that could be formed by repeatedly using other professions' skills.
It must be known that personal abilities were divided into three types: innate, acquired, and acquired. Ma Wen's body was quite useless. He did not have any personal abilities that he was born with, so he could only increase them through training. For example, the personal ability that was forming now was most likely of this type.
As for the last type, acquired personal ability that was acquired, it was quite rare. Ma Wen had never counted on this, even though his race clearly said "human?" This meant that he had the blood of another race, but it was very thin.
In any case, it was naturally a good thing to be able to form a personal ability. Apart from attributes and skills, abilities were good things that could provide help to adventurers.
It was already late at night, and River Beach City had implemented a half-hour curfew. Although the city gate closed later, no one was allowed to walk on the streets after 12 o 'clock. The city gate was closed, and if one wanted to enter the city, they had to use some extraordinary means.
In the past, when Ma Wen was the Master of the Night, it was easy to climb over the city wall and enter the city in the middle of the night with the ability to walk on eaves and some special magic devices. But now, he could only look for some loopholes.
He knew that cities like River Beach City did not have too stubborn monster forces around it, and there were usually some parts of the city wall that had not been repaired for a long time. After carefully looking along the city wall, he found a suitable gap. His body was small, and he could barely squeeze through.
After entering the city, he had to be careful of the patrolling guards. These guys were not to be trifled with. They were already resentful that the mayor had sent them out to patrol in the middle of the night. If they caught him, the consequences would be unimaginable. As for resistance, please, these guards were at least grade two professions, and the leading sheriff on duty might even be grade three. They were far from what a rookie like Ma Wen could resist.
He avoided the main road and walked in the alleys in the middle of the night like a fish in the water. He successfully avoided the patrolling guards and the unknown dangers in the city. However, when he went around to the back door of the Wild Horse Inn, he found a sneaky figure.
"Someone's following me?" Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat. This was not common. The owner of the Wild Horse Inn was said to have a terrifying background, and no one dared to behave atrociously in her territory.
He quietly went around to the front door, and sure enough, he found two hidden sentries. However, these hidden sentries were too unprofessional. Although they were professional thieves and knew some basic hiding methods, in Ma Wen's eyes, they were full of loopholes.
He checked repeatedly and finally determined that there were a total of three thieves watching the Wild Horse Inn. Two at the front door and one at the back door.
What they had in common was that they all had a bloody dagger embroidered on their cuffs. Although the art was not flattering, at least they were unified.
Ma Wen had seen this symbol just an hour ago.
The Akron Mafia.
"Damn, they want to kill me, and they're also after sister Anna?"
Ma Wen was furious. Holding the curved sword, he sneaked and slowly approached the thief who was watching him at the back door.
(Sorry for the update half an hour late. I was too tired yesterday … By the way, please recommend me.)
