Chapter 1408

Putting away the 【Black Abyss Invitation】, Su Xiao took out the Firearm Mastery scroll. This harvest was very interesting.

Su Xiao's basic firearm ability was Firearm Proficiency lv. 30. With the bonus from the Duke of Silence's gemstone inlay, his basic firearm ability reached Firearm Mastery lv. 30.

Order Balance (Gold Gemstone): Basic firearm skill tier +1 (below Mastery level).

Currently, Su Xiao's Firearm Mastery lv. 30 was an ability added by equipment, not an ability he had mastered himself.

There was one thing Su Xiao was curious about. His own mastered basic firearm ability was 'Firearm Proficiency lv. 30', which meant he could use the 【Firearm Mastery scroll】 in his hand to raise his basic firearm ability by one tier.

Basic, Proficiency, Mastery, Grandmaster—these were the basic ability tiers Su Xiao knew. Basic was the level an ordinary person could reach through hard training; Proficiency required high talent; Mastery was only reachable if one was obsessed with one thing for a lifetime. As for the Grandmaster tier, it required talent, hard work, obsession, and special opportunities.

Interestingly, the firearm ability Su Xiao had already mastered could be upgraded using the 【Firearm Mastery scroll】, promoting it to the Mastery level while reducing the ability by a certain level.

But the Duke of Silence had already boosted Firearm Proficiency to the Mastery level. This was a technique-based ability. The Order Balance gemstone was actually just another form of a temporary skill scroll.

Su Xiao's thought was: what would happen if he used the 【Firearm Mastery scroll】 while under the bonus of the Order Balance gemstone?

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided to use the 【Firearm Mastery scroll】.

【Yes/No to use the Firearm Mastery scroll. Using the scroll will incur a certain risk.】

"Confirm."

Su Xiao had already thought of what the risk was, and it was within an acceptable range.

【You have used 'Firearm Mastery scroll'. Due to a conflict, the 'Order Balance' gemstone inlaid in the Duke of Silence has shattered.】

【Your basic firearm skill has improved.】

【Firearm Proficiency has been promoted to Firearm Mastery.】

【Level judgment in progress...】

【Due to the Hunter's long-term use of firearms and the extra bonus from the Order Balance gemstone (shattered), Firearm Mastery ability has increased by lv. 6. Current level: Firearm Mastery lv. 36.】

【Firearm Mastery: lv. 36 (Passive skill)】

Skill effect: Increases attack power of firearm-type weapons by 109% (weak point strikes, ballistic prediction, etc., not increasing the original lethality of the firearm), and significantly improves proficiency with various firearms.

Branch ability: Eagle Eye (Reinforced 5 times)

Eagle Eye effect 1: Dynamic vision increased by 18% (this is a real agility attribute bonus, real agility attribute x0.2).

Eagle Eye effect 2: Bullet impact point prediction significantly improved.

A burning sensation came over Su Xiao's eyeballs. He closed his eyes instinctively. A moment later, the burning sensation faded, and he opened his eyes.

In the slightly dim room, a few specks of dust drifted past Su Xiao's eyes. This was a side effect of the short-term increase in dynamic vision. He needed to quickly adapt to his current dynamic vision.

Overall, Su Xiao's harvest from opening the treasure chests this time was quite good, with a certain element of luck. As for opening the 【Firearm Mastery scroll】, the luck element in that was not high.

Treasure chests produced by strong individuals in the Blue Sea Star, especially officers of the Sun Kingdom, had the highest chance of yielding divine arts when opened, followed by firearm abilities; this was their core combat style.

Having his firearm ability improve just before preparing to snipe the enemy—this was the first time Su Xiao had encountered such a smooth situation. It gave him the feeling of a dream start. As for whether the follow-up would be smooth, that remained to be seen.

However, two hours later, Su Xiao abandoned the idea of a dream start. He was surprised to find that adapting to his current dynamic vision didn't seem to be a simple matter.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding an iron ball in his hand. The iron ball was engraved with many numbers; he had made this thing temporarily.

Su Xiao tossed the iron ball up. The iron ball spun at ultra-high speed, even forming an airflow vortex around it. Su Xiao's pupils gradually shrank as he observed the numbers on the iron ball to adapt to his current dynamic vision.

Out of curiosity, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also stared at the terrifyingly spinning iron ball. A few seconds later...

"Ugh—"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang retched, fell to the ground, dizzy. Not long after, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang got up and stuck out its tongue, looking grumpy.

"Go cool off somewhere else."

Su Xiao squinted. Although he wouldn't retch, his eyeballs were a bit sore.

Around 12:00 PM that day, Su Xiao had somewhat adapted to his current dynamic vision. He lay directly on the sofa and fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he had slept when a wet, steaming suspicious object approached Su Xiao's face. Su Xiao opened his eyes, and a dog face came into view; the wet thing was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's nose.

"What time is it?"

Su Xiao blinked; his eyeballs were no longer sore.

"Woof."

"Is it already six o'clock?"

"Huh?"

The assistant standing in front of the sofa was very surprised. She couldn't understand how Su Xiao could communicate normally with a dog.

After Su Xiao washed up, he pushed open the door of the residential house.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

The assistant, wearing a black gauze dress, instinctively gave a military salute. Su Xiao stopped his steps, his gaze fixed on the assistant.

"Okay, sir."

The assistant tried her best to act elegant.

"Too artificial. Be normal, but don't let others see that you are a soldier."

"Alright."

The assistant took a deep breath, trying her best to adjust her state, constantly giving herself hints in her heart: she was a young lady, she had to be elegant, she must be elegant.

The group left the house and headed straight for the Flower Tree Restaurant in the city center. This was the most luxurious restaurant in Anbella City, bar none.

The Flower Tree Restaurant had four floors. The first to third floors were dining areas, capable of accommodating thousands of guests at once, while the top floor was for entertainment facilities.

The structure of the first floor wasn't too complex. The front was the main hall, behind it was a banquet hall that could accommodate a thousand people, and further back were numerous utility rooms, the kitchen, and so on.

For a restaurant that could accommodate thousands, the scale was imaginable, not to mention it was located in the city center. The financier behind it was, of course, that wealthy merchant who invited Dubo Yisi to the banquet, Hennason.

In the center of Anbella City, on a bustling street, vintage cars and carriages were stuck in traffic. This scene surprised the civilians on both sides of the street. In their cognition, there was no such concept as a traffic jam. The entire Anbella City only had about a thousand private cars, so there would never be traffic jams.

But tonight at 7:00 PM, the central street was jammed. There was no honking; most vehicles had their windows rolled down, and people were chatting with each other.

Inside a carriage, the assistant in the black gauze dress yawned.

"How much longer? I'm about to suffocate."

The assistant clutched her chest and spoke in a low voice.

"Hold on, you're about to enter. About ten minutes."

The voice came from the assistant's ear. She poked her ear canal; inside was a very inconspicuous receiver.
