Chapter 56: Precision Throwing (Begging for reads lol)

Haha, Captain Dasike was indeed thoughtful!

Ji Ming remained expressionless, smiling as he took the small knife and glanced at it.

On the stitched joint of the scabbard, there was a small, inconspicuous red mark.

Tsk…

After digging up so many graves, Ji Ming wasn't afraid of any soul rings either, so he just put it away.

"Captain, if there's something, just say it straight—what is there between us that we can't talk about?"

"Ah, it's not anything else……"

Dasike composed his expression, sighed, and told him a little story that brought tears to his eyes.

What the story was doesn't matter; it was pretty lame, likely copied from some third-rate wandering poet.

What matters is his last line.

"If we had the right medicine back then, my brother wouldn't have had to die, would he?"

Alright, I understand.

"Come with me."

First he closed the door to show respect to Mr. Lei Nuo, then Ji Ming picked out a few bottles of Revival Elixir from the medicine cabinet.

"Different caps mean different effects—remember, keep it restrained."

"Got it, got it, thanks!"

Dasike beamed with joy, pounding his chest as he promised.

"Doctor, these two days I won't be around—if I were, just come find me!"

After throwing out two useless promises, Dasike left with his team members.

He tsked twice, and Ji Ming shook his head.

"I can't help it, AdaiEr—young people like you had better avoid dealing with this sort of person."

After giving that reminder, Ji Ming opened his money pouch, took out two silver coins from inside, and also pulled out a bottle of Revival Elixir IV that he carried with him.

"One is today's wage, one is today's overtime bonus, and this—take it."

"Thanks!"

Who would have thought the little girl didn't even glance at the silver coin, just shoved it straight into her pocket, and instead clutched the medicine bottle tightly in her hand.

How strange—do young people nowadays drool when they get paid?

Ji Ming pondered for a moment, then quickly gave a reminder.

"Be careful—it's a crystal bottle; too much force might break it."

"Ah, sorry."

Only then did AdaiEr realize, fumbling to put the medicine bottle away as well.

"Goodbye, remember to be careful on your way home."

He politely showed concern for this humanoid tyrannosaur, then Ji Ming bolted the door as the sun set in the west.

Holding a sandwich with double meat, he again kindly reminded the little mouse to keep watch.

After finishing everything, he returned to the second floor, equipping himself piece by piece to restore his fully armed state.

"Dungeons & Goblins, log in!"

With a blink, the surroundings shifted from a dim bedroom to a bright holy hall.

Before he could speak, a blue box appeared, displaying a full panoramic map of the vicinity before him.

But unlike last time, this time golden markers also appeared on the map.

【While you were busy with other matters, I have already scanned the entire map and analyzed several areas that are very suitable for you to head to now】

If I had known earlier, it would still be Yangyue. jpg

This really saves a ton of time—if only some bastard games could be optimized like this!

Ji Ming quickly skimmed the recommended areas' general data, finding that they were basically places where violent goblins gathered and roamed.

However, in one of those areas, besides the red indicating enemies, some yellow dots indicating neutrality also appeared.

As a communicable group, their alignment shifts toward enemy or friend depending on how the player treats them.

Ji Ming then opened their specific details and discovered they were actually a kobold village.

Kobolds, those sneaky, deceitful creatures that love to hide in mines and dig traps—can they really count as neutral beings you can communicate with?

Ji Ming pondered for a moment, then decided to go take a look.

The city's teleport was reactivated, and Ji Ming found himself on a platform.

Although the sturdy tiles had cracked open along with the foundation, Ji Ming could tell this was likely a training ground.

Grinding monsters and digging graves at once, Ji Ming headed toward the yellow dots, shovel in hand, grinding his way there.

Soon, he swung his iron shovel down hard; along with the brains that burst out, a new pop-up window also appeared.

【Lv. 4→Lv. 5】

【Congratulations on leveling up, rewards have been credited】

This time Ji Ming didn't hold back on his blood and qi, but instead added the points to agility.

【Blood and Qi: 6】

【Agility: 5】

【Wisdom: 12】

【Charisma: 11】

It's all about being handsome and kind-hearted, and he runs very stylishly.

As for the free skill points, he decided to keep rolling.

Please wait

Congratulations, you have obtained the combat skill: Precision Throw

Precision Throw: Your throws will be extremely accurate, and apprentice‑level targets cannot dodge

Introduction: In your hands, everything becomes a hidden weapon; damage depends entirely on the weapon's power, perhaps you might consider using…

Speaking of it, as a non‑professional who once practiced javelin in college, Ji Ming has some insight into the art of throwing

But modern competition javelins are worlds apart from those on a real battlefield

Seeing that the panel does not show he possesses Basic Javelin Throw, aside from tossing stink bombs, Ji Ming has hardly relied on this method

But now…

Ji Ming snatched a stone nearby, didn't even aim properly, and hurled it at a skull a short distance away

The stone traced a graceful arc in the air, struck the skull's forehead directly, and shattered it to pieces

In melee he has Grave Digging Technique, single‑target control Knocking Dull Stick, area control Poison Gas Bomb, sustain Rejuvenation Elixir, and escape Breath‑Closing Talisman

All things considered, this ranged method was sorely lacking, and the arrival of Precision Throw fills that gap

However, the skill given by the system…

Ji Ming closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and picked up another stone

He found a piece of collapsed rusted iron, raised his arm, but turned his back before throwing

Logically the stone should have been ninety‑nine percent empty, yet after waiting only two seconds he heard a thud from afar

Exactly centered, it was the muffled sound of stone striking rusted iron

Interesting, another karmic weapon, huh

Ji Ming was overjoyed. He pulled out a cloth bag and began loading ammunition

That muffled sound also startled nearby raging goblins,

whose behavior resembles zombies; upon sensing the anomaly, they gathered together

If it were before, Ji Ming would have dashed back to the Holy Hall at light speed

But now…

He doesn't even bother looking straight; once his eyes wobble to lock on a target, he throws the stone directly

As long as the target exists and the general direction is right, the stone will inevitably land on a goblin

The only difference is that some stones fall straight, while others bounce off the ceiling or something before hitting

One hundred shots, one hundred hits; no wasted throws, as if destiny itself

Watching the ground littered with heads and blood‑splattered corpses, and the panel gaining another chunk of experience

He tipped the now‑empty cloth bag, and gave a slight cough

"Good thing this is my game, otherwise this grinding method would have gotten me banned for ten years…"
