Bang! Bang!
The moment Kieran threw out the bullet proof vest, the Trickster opened fire.
Even though his vision was blocked, he could not see Kieran clearly.
Even though he was trying to dodge the bullet proof vest, his shooting posture was not comfortable enough.
Still, his body's reflexes, which had been honed through countless training sessions, allowed the Trickster to hit Kieran. Two bullets went through Kieran's legs, none of them missing.
However, Kieran, who had been injected with the [Painkiller], did not feel any pain at all. He rolled out of his hiding place as if he had not been shot at all.
"You've given up on a great opportunity!"
The Deceiver looked coldly at Kieran, whose legs did not seem to be injured at all. The killing intent in his heart burned even more fiercely. The Deceiver knew very well why Kieran was able to do that.
The [Painkiller]!
It was the [Painkiller] that he had given to Kieran!
Kieran had used his item to trick him. The Trickster felt humiliated.
The thick sense of humiliation made him want to shoot Kieran dead on the spot.
But he remembered his mission.
One second later, the Swindler made up his mind!
He wanted to teach Kieran a lesson.
Not only would he teach Kieran the rights of a captive, but he would also teach Kieran the duty of a captive.
The Trickster was an expert in interrogation.
He had at least a hundred different punishments in his mind.
Just as the Trickster was about to select a few as Kieran's appetizer, he suddenly saw a smile on Kieran's face.
Instinctively, the Trickster felt something was wrong.
He looked down and saw a grenade.
Instinctively, the Swindler wanted to dodge.
But it was too late!
BOOM!
The U-2 grenade's explosion engulfed the Trickster completely.
Even Kieran, who was further away, was affected by the blast.
Fortunately, it was only the strong wind brought about by the flames and not the fatal shrapnel.
However, the Deceiver was not so lucky.
Completely engulfed by the explosion of the U-2 grenade, the man's body was a mess. He was in a much more miserable state than the rebel captain who had been ambushed.
[Shooting: Inflicts 20 Damage to HP …]
[Shooting: Inflicts 20 Damage to HP …]
[You've entered Moderately Wounded Status …]
[Your legs are crippled …]
[Painkiller, immune to Wounded Status and Crippled Status for 3 minutes …]
[Explosion: Inflicts 150 Damage to target HP, target dies …]
Looking at the battlelog, Kieran was glad that the [Pain Killer] was effective. Without the [Pain Killer], even if his plan succeeded, it wouldn't be as straightforward as it was now.
At the very least, he would be affected by the explosion of the U-2 grenade.
If he was unlucky, with only 40 HP left, it might be game over.
"Thank goodness!"
Kieran rejoiced once more. Then, his attention was attracted by the battle information that followed.
"150 HP?!"
Kieran stared at the Deceiver's HP in shock.
From the armed thugs he had encountered at the beginning to the rebel soldiers, including himself, every single one of them had at least 100 HP. There had never been an exception.
Now, however, a Deceiver with 150 HP had appeared.
"Is it because of his extraordinary Constitution? Or is it because of the elite mode? "
Kieran guessed.
Before Kieran could continue his train of thought, though, he was attracted by the next notification.
[Eliminated Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm) (Entry) level enemy …]
[Skill: Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm) (Basic → Entry)]
[Name: Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm) (Entry)]
[Related Attributes: Strength, Constitution, Intuition]
[Skill Type: Offensive]
[Effects: You know how to use a handgun, rifle, musket, assault rifle, submachine gun and sniper rifle, Increases damage by 20%]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Strength F, Constitution F, Intuition F +]
[Remarks: You know how to use a light firearm, comparable to a veteran soldier!]
…
[Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm) leveled up, Related Attributes increased …]
[Strength F → F +]
[Constitution F → F +]
[Intuition has reached the maximum level for this type of skill, unable to level up!]
A clear warm flow started to flow through Kieran's body. More knowledge about firearms appeared in his mind, and along with the warm flow, Kieran was able to master it even faster.
When the warm flow disappeared, Kieran could clearly feel that he had become stronger and more powerful.
What was more important was the change to his HP.
60！
From the original 40 HP to 60 HP, it was obvious that the increase was due to the increase in Constitution.
"Constitution increased by one level, and HP increased by 20?
"It's just as I guessed. Skills and attributes are inseparable!"
But is this skill leveling up because of the newbie dungeon's benefits, or is it because of the normal leveling up rules? "
Kieran frowned slightly.
He was leaning towards the former.
If it was the latter, it would be too easy, even though it would be very difficult to achieve, just like when he had faced off against the Deceiver.
In terms of strength and experience, Kieran had been completely crushed.
If it hadn't been for his good luck and the Deceiver's request, Kieran knew what would have happened to him.
However, it was not wrong to say that it was too easy.
After all, players were the most creative and adventurous group of people.
Was the Deceiver strong?
The answer was very strong.
If Kieran had wanted to fight the Deceiver head on, the chances of him winning would have been negligible.
However, if Kieran had enough time, he had no less than three ways to kill the Deceiver.
Although it would have cost a lot, for the sake of leveling up his skills and increasing his attributes, Kieran did not care.
That was why Kieran believed that other players like him would not have cared either.
Under such circumstances, killing a player with a higher skill level could only be justified in the newbie dungeon.
Otherwise, the game designers would have neglected their duties.
However, this did not mean that Kieran did not have a chance.
Before, when he had faced the armed thug, his quick and powerful method had not worked, but Kieran had not given up.
And now, he saw hope again.
"Killing a player with a higher skill level?"
Kieran muttered softly before he clenched his fists tightly.
He had a new idea.
Not now, of course.
Right now, the most important thing for him was to recover as soon as possible.
Although his [Firearm (Light Firearm)] skill had leveled up, his Strength and Constitution had also leveled up, it did not change the fact that his HP was still below average.
Once the [Painkiller] effect wore off, he would be in a very difficult situation.
Therefore, before the [Painkiller] effect wore off, he had to bring his HP back up to a certain level.
Before that, however, Kieran went up to the Deceiver's body and carefully examined it.
Although the body was badly mutilated, it did not mean that he had not found anything.
As a matter of fact, when Kieran flipped the body over, he had already found something.
It was a palm-sized book with a faint purple glow.
"A Skill Book?!"
Kieran blurted out instinctively.
It seemed like in this 100% realistic game, some of the game's settings still existed.
Kieran picked up the glowing purple Skill Book.
[Discovered Skill Book: Tracking]
[Learn?]
"Yes!"
Without a second thought, Kieran gave his answer.
[Learned Skill: Tracking]
[Name: Tracking (Basic)]
[Related Attributes: Intuition]
[Skill Type: Ancillary]
[Effects: You can track your target by observing their tracks!]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Intuition F +]
[Remarks: Your nose is no match for a hunting hound's!]
Another round of knowledge transfer and body coordination went on.
When everything was over, Kieran's eyes widened. The world in front of him had changed. Things that he had overlooked before suddenly became clear.
Footprints and tracks were white.
The fresh blood turned bright red.
The traces of the explosion were deep black.
When Kieran blinked his eyes, everything returned to normal and when he focused his attention again, the scene before his eyes started to change again.
"An active skill?"
Kieran commented.
However, the slight pain on his body told him that the effect of the [Painkiller] was about to wear off.
Kieran grabbed the bag of the Trickster and ran towards the place where he had hidden the canned food.
Other than the unexpected Skill Book, there was nothing else on the Trickster's body.
What pitied Kieran the most was that the special sniper rifle had been completely destroyed by the grenade explosion.
This made Kieran sad for a while.
It wasn't that Kieran didn't want to protect the special sniper rifle, but he couldn't even protect himself.
However, Kieran suddenly thought of the rebel sniper that he had killed earlier.
The sniper had a real sniper rifle!
With that thought in mind, Kieran heaved a sigh of relief.
When his [Firearm (Light Firearm)] skill had leveled up, his need for a sniper rifle had become even more urgent.
Kieran knew very well that a sniper rifle would be safer and more effective than any other firearm against the rebel soldiers.
Moreover, he would need a good sniper rifle in order to change his plans.
"General Zennings, eh?"
Kieran mumbled.
It was obvious that this was a boss that could increase his dungeon rating even more than the major.
