Chapter 598: Terrifying Gap

Opening the skill list, Firearm Mastery was not classified into the career list of Shadow of the Law-Breaker, but in the ordinary skill list.

【Firearm Mastery: LV. 10. (passive)】

Skill effect: Increases the attack power of firearm-type weapons by 20% (weak point strikes, ballistic prediction, etc., not increasing the original lethality of firearms), and significantly improves proficiency in using various firearms.

【Hint: Since Firearm Mastery has reached Lv. 10, please choose a branch ability for level Lv. 10.】

A. Pistol Expert: Enhances proficiency in using pistols.

B. Firepower Assault: Enhances proficiency in mid-to-close range weapons such as submachine guns and automatic rifles.

C. Eagle Eye: Enhances the ability to correct environmental interference with bullets.

Three choices, Su Xiao naturally chose C. The third one was clearly prepared for sniper rifles.

Su Xiao stood up, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was chewing ice cubes on the side, turned its head.

"Still want to drink?"

"Woof."

"I'm going to the skill upgrade hall."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang raised its head. It often wandered around Reincarnation Paradise and was more familiar with the terrain here than Su Xiao.

Su Xiao stood up and left, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stayed in the cold drink shop alone. The beautiful shop manager was not surprised. She knew this dog; this dog was a regular customer named Xiang Bubu.

The beautiful shop manager walked up.

"This is your master, he looks very strong."

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang gave a "Woof of Contempt." That gaze seemed to say: "Of course, you don't even look at whose Master it is."

"No wonder you are so generous, your master must give you a lot of pocket money."

The beautiful shop manager's eyes were a bit envious. She was an employee, and if she wanted to survive in Reincarnation Paradise, she could only work hard to run this cold drink shop.

Skill upgrade hall, in a skill upgrade chamber.

【Welcome to the skill upgrade chamber, please choose the skill you need to upgrade.】

Su Xiao chose 【Firearm Mastery】, and a hint appeared.

【Upgrading 'Firearm Mastery Lv. 10 (passive)' requires 2,000 Paradise Coins, Yes/No to pay.】

The price was within the acceptable range, and it didn't require consuming Soul Crystals. Only specialization-level abilities started consuming Soul Crystals, so Su Xiao chose to upgrade.

Spending 2,000 Paradise Coins, the surroundings became dim. He was in darkness, and a large amount of knowledge about firearms flooded into his mind.

At the same time, a light and shadow appeared in front of him. The light and shadow shot with various firearms and dismantled the firearms, but the speed was accelerated by hundreds of times.

Five minutes later, Su Xiao woke up.

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 11.】

Su Xiao wouldn't be satisfied with just upgrading one level, so he continued to upgrade the skill, and the previous situation repeated.

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 12.】

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 13.】

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 14.】

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 15.】

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 19.】

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 20!】

After upgrading to Lv. 20, a hint appeared.

【Firearm Mastery has been upgraded to Lv. 20, whether to choose a new branch ability or enhance the existing branch ability.】

Su Xiao chose to enhance the existing branch ability. Compared with pistols or automatic rifles, he used sniper rifles more. Nowadays, he was becoming more and more proficient in using blade energy, and pistols for mid-range were gradually being replaced.

Su Xiao didn't know if Firearm Mastery could continue to be upgraded. He tried it, and Firearm Mastery could actually continue to be upgraded.

【Upgrading 'Firearm Mastery Lv. 20 (passive)' requires 5,000 Paradise Coins, Yes/No to pay.】

5,000 Paradise Coins made him hesitate. To date, he had already invested 140,000 Paradise Coins in firearms.

These investments were worth it because he intended to upgrade his firearm knowledge to the extreme at once. In the future, resources would not be tilted toward firearm knowledge.

At the very least, he had to reach the point of hitting whatever he aimed at, rather than aiming at whatever he hit. Having wandered in Reincarnation Paradise for so long, it was too shameful to have no progress at all.

Choosing to continue upgrading, Paradise Coins slid away like flowing water.

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 21.】

Two hours later, because he had accepted too much knowledge, Su Xiao, who was a bit dizzy, chose to continue upgrading Firearm Mastery (passive).

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to Lv. 30!】

【Firearm Mastery (passive) has been upgraded to full level, whether to choose a new branch ability or enhance the existing branch ability.】

"Enhance existing."

Su Xiao rubbed his forehead lightly. His Intelligence attribute was relatively high, and the aftereffects of upgrading skills disappeared quickly.

Upgrading various abilities in Reincarnation Paradise has aftereffects. For example, upgrading Firearm Mastery (passive) causes headaches, and upgrading Blade Master causes extreme fatigue.

This is normal. Abilities don't appear out of thin air. Su Xiao pays Paradise Coins or other fees, and Reincarnation Paradise speeds up his mastery of abilities, which is an equivalent exchange, not obtained out of thin air.

Enhancing firearm-related abilities consumed a total of 190,000 Paradise Coins.

The cost was not small, but it was worth it. With a full-level Firearm Mastery of Lv. 30, it would still be useful even when he reached a high tier.

【Firearm Mastery: LV. 30. (passive)】

Skill effect: Increases the attack power of firearm-type weapons by 42% (weak point strikes, ballistic prediction, etc., not increasing the original lethality of firearms), and proficiency in various firearms is greatly improved.

Branch ability: Eagle Eye (enhanced 2 times)

Eagle Eye: Accurately predict the flight trajectory and landing point of bullets. External factors such as wind speed and air humidity cannot cause you the slightest interference. As long as you have a sniper rifle in hand, you are the king.

After checking the attributes of Firearm Mastery, Su Xiao sighed secretly. Mastery-level abilities and Master-level abilities are worlds apart.

Black and white pistols appeared in his hands. Su Xiao first observed these two guns, and a few seconds later, he moved.

Click, click, click...

His hands almost turned into afterimages. In an instant, the two pistols were dismantled into pieces, becoming a large number of parts. Moving his fingers, a moment later, the two guns were reassembled.

If it were before mastering Firearm Mastery, he would never dare to try doing this. The black and white pistols were too precise, and it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to be reassembled after being dismantled, just like that high-tech tablet computer.

Raising the gun to aim, Su Xiao had a feeling that hitting a moving target within two hundred meters would definitely be no problem. Even if the enemy moved at high speed, he could predict the flight trajectory and landing point of the bullet.

Taking out Spider Queen, the familiar feeling appeared. After checking the situation of Spider Queen, his brows locked tightly.

Previously, he didn't understand firearms, so he didn't pay attention to maintenance after use. Now it seems that was a very reckless behavior.

If this continues, the service life of Spider Queen will definitely not exceed 2 derived worlds. If he is lucky, it will be scrapped directly; if he is unlucky, it might even explode in the chamber.

The Spider Queen, more than a meter long, was dismantled, and he began to maintain this gun.

Ten minutes later, Spider Queen was reassembled. Pulling the bolt, the sound was very crisp, no longer the somewhat dull sound from before.

The firearm ability upgrade was complete. At this time, he was in the skill upgrade chamber and didn't worry about being disturbed. He wanted to upgrade Blade Master as well.

A full twenty Soul Crystals (medium) appeared in his hand. It looked like a lot, but it could actually only upgrade Blade Master by two levels.

【Upgrading 'Blade Master Lv. 21 (passive)' requires 50,000 Paradise Coins + Soul Crystal (medium) x10, Yes/No to pay.】

Compared to the cost of Blade Master, the cost of upgrading Firearm Mastery was just a drizzle.

The cost of upgrading Blade Master by one level was enough to buy a Firearm Mastery scroll + upgrade to full level, not to mention that Soul Crystals (medium) were priceless. ===== CHAPTER 599 =====
