Chapter 176 Three Shots

Han Xiao raised his head from behind the scope, a look of surprise on his face. He was also astonished by the power of these three shots. The second shot hit a vital point, resulting in another critical hit, and with Bai Jin's attributes greatly weakened, it was almost like true damage doubled. The damage from the first two shots was too insane. Han Xiao estimated that Bai Jin, a level 48 Esper strong on offense but weak on defense, had about 2,500 health points, so the third shot was a fatal blow, instantly killing Bai Jin!

The key to the kill was the first shot, which had several times the normal damage, directly causing Bai Jin to kneel, making him a sitting duck.

Backstab power = siege crossbow, this is indeed common sense!

[You killed Bai Jin (lv48), you gained 64000 experience]

[Killed target 14 levels higher, extra 360% experience bonus, total experience 230400, your personal output rate 100%! ]

[You gained an extra 230400 (100%) experience!]

Han Xiao didn't expect to complete the level-skipping kill so smoothly, gaining nearly 300,000 experience points, making up for his losses from constantly fusing blueprints to manufacture the Ghost Gauss Sniper Rifle, with some left over.

Looking at the manor again, the whole place was eerily silent.

Everyone stood frozen, they had expected a major battle to break out, and were prepared for a tough fight, but things happened so suddenly that they were all dumbfounded.

Tap, tap, tap... Footsteps sounded in the woods, and everyone's eyes immediately converged, filled with curiosity, awe, and shock.

Just then, a cloud gradually obscured the moon, and the silver moonlight disappeared inch by inch. At this moment, Han Xiao in his black trench coat walked out of the woods, only the lower half of his face illuminated. The moonlight seemed to recede as he advanced, and darkness spread with his footsteps, like a nightmare draped in the night, a ghost forever hidden in the darkness.

This awesome entrance immediately caused a series of gasps. This moment was like a brand, deeply engraved in everyone's hearts. Everyone knew that they probably would never forget this scene!

"Mr. Black!"

"It's him?!"

Everyone was shocked. They knew Mr. Black was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong!

Benny was surprised. He didn't expect to misjudge this time as well. With the destructive power Han Xiao had just unleashed, it was enough to pose a slight threat to him. When Han Xiao approached, Benny couldn't help but praise, "Well done."

"Just average," Han Xiao never forgot to be modest.

Looking around, seeing the mercenaries staring at him without moving, Han Xiao said in a deep voice, "Don't just stand there, go do what you're supposed to do."

The mercenaries woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly began to repair the manor's fortifications, all subconsciously acquiescing to Han Xiao's orders.

Bai Jin's body was carried in and casually covered with a cloth. No one would forget that this was the corpse of a powerful Esper, and each time they saw it, their awe of Han Xiao deepened.

The enemy's corpse is a medal.

Han Xiao walked into the villa, and Wang Yuan came over. This time his smile was no longer polite, but full of appreciation and sincerity, saying, "Those three shots were amazing, even an old man like me was startled by you."

"You're too kind." Han Xiao waved his hand and glanced at Benny beside him, "With him here, you were never in any danger."

Wang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I checked the files. The Chaise Rhodes family introduced you to participate in this mission. Your strength far exceeds the Scorpion level. I will directly promote you to the Ghoul level."

This was an obvious gesture of goodwill, a single promotion to the Ghoul level, which surprised Han Xiao. He nodded and accepted Wang Yuan's kindness.

…

In the woods, Di Susu reported Han Xiao's performance with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Black possesses terrifying sniping abilities, and his lethality is difficult to estimate. I suggest adding him to the Major Threat Target File."

"Granted," Mo Ran said in a deep voice.

The Thirteenth Bureau has records of all highly dangerous targets, which are the so-called Major Threat Target Files. Han Xiao's performance has already attracted their attention, especially since he is a sniper, a profession skilled in assassination.

…

Early the next morning, Wang Yuan gathered all the mercenaries and announced that the guard mission was over and the mission funds would be directly transferred to their accounts.

The traitors in the organization had been captured, and Wang Yuan's goal had been achieved. As for Hidden Demon, with the employer dead, he naturally wouldn't continue the assassination.

Han Xiao checked his deposit. This time, two million was credited, twice as much as the original reward. After thinking about it, he understood that this was Wang Yuan's special extra reward. His performance in those last three shots was worth the price.

[Fifth ring completed, you gained 30000 experience.]

[Hidden requirement "Benny did not join the battle" completed, you gained 300,000 experience.]

This time there was no new ring mission, which meant this chain mission was over. The accumulated experience at this time directly broke through the one million mark! The reward for this mission was quite generous.

"Finally finished this mission."

Han Xiao relaxed a lot, found Benny, and gave him the Locke hoC Sniper Rifle.

"You're giving me a gift again?" Benny was surprised. Seeing that this gift was also to his liking, he said helplessly, "What do you want?"

"I want to learn combat techniques."

Why is it this sentence again?

Benny had a headache. After thinking for a while, he decided to teach Han Xiao techniques suitable for his sniping abilities and began to explain.

"In my early years, I was an assassin who specialized in sneaking in the dark. Perhaps these techniques of mine can be of some help to you..."

After listening to the explanation for an hour, Han Xiao received a new mission.

[You triggered D-level mission [Night Prowler (Job Advancement)]]

[Mission Brief: You have learned some special techniques from Benny's explanation, but you still need to improve them with practice.]

[Mission Requirements: In a dark environment, complete five assassination missions (level not limited)]

[Reward: Obtain the [Night Prowler] job]

Night Prowler, this was a secondary job that Han Xiao had long wanted to obtain from Benny. He could learn skills such as concealing traces and sneak attack bonuses. Combined with his Will Burning and Ghost Gauss Sniper Rifle, he could improve the combat mode of a stealth sniper, and there was also a chance to light up the [One Shot Kill] specialty.

Moreover, this secondary job was considered very rare in version 1.0, with low attribute bonuses, and the experience required to level up was less than the main job. Leveling up the main job alone would consume a huge amount of experience, and secondary jobs were mainly used to increase combat methods.

After finishing the explanation, Benny paused and said, "I can see that your Qi is not strong, but your lethality is incredible. This is my number, you can contact me anytime. Of course, I may need you to do something for me in the future, what do you think?"

"Okay."

Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He immediately thought of another major event on Benny's body, and naturally had no objection, exchanging numbers with each other.

Forgot to mention, the phone that Technician Han was using was no longer the black brick phone issued to him by the Thirteenth Bureau.

The guard mission finally ended. The mercenaries in the manor breathed a sigh of relief and began to pack up and prepare to leave. Han Xiao strolled around, gaining a bunch of phone numbers from assassins and mercenary leaders, adding many contacts, who might be useful one day.

Golden Fox took the initiative to leave her number to Han Xiao, and then hurried away. She admired Han Xiao's strength, but she really couldn't accept his tastes and had no intention of having anything happen.

The manor became deserted, and everyone left one after another. Han Xiao drove back to White Seagull City Airport and took a Farrian plane to run away.

After the growth from two high-reward missions, Han Xiao had accumulated a huge amount of experience. The general action plan for the last period before the public beta would refer to the mission route that focused on bounties during this period.

"I have become a Ghoul-level assassin, with priority for missions, commissions, and intelligence. Now that the path has been paved, as long as I follow the steps, I will definitely get Legend Points, and I can free up my hands to complete the last goal..."

F*** Germinal!

"I hope you can withstand my stormy love."

Han Xiao smiled very cunningly, but also very coldly.

…

In the Intelligence Department of the Thirteenth Bureau headquarters, the Minister of Intelligence received a file transfer report, which was about the application to transfer "Mr. Black" to the Major Threat Target File.

"Mr. Black, unknown origin, unknown background, currently an assassin for the Blood Pact Society, has only completed two missions, destroying the Rose Armed Mercenary Group in the Somal Desert, showing extraordinary sniping skills during the guard mission at River Valley Manor, repelling Hidden Demon, and killing Cinder of Lightning with three shots.

This person has extremely high alertness, excellent concealment ability (Appendix - once got rid of the Thirteenth Bureau tracker), and is a mechanic. The boots have the ability to glide at high speed, and the sniper rifle used is a custom weapon with amazing lethality, requiring special attention."

"Another powerful guy has appeared, sigh."

After reading the information sent from the White Seagull City branch, the Minister of Intelligence lamented the dangerous world and took out a seal to stamp the footer of the document.

"Approve the entry into the file!"

…

A major event occurred in the underground world. The assassin list on the dark web underwent an amazing change. An unknown assassin code-named Mr. Black, rose like a rocket from outside the top 1,000 to 23rd on the assassin list.

"Never heard of this name, what's his background?"

"The dark web's list has always been fair, and there can be no black box operation. Go find out the origin of Mr. Black immediately."

In strongholds of different forces, many people were making phone calls to inquire about each other. The intelligence networks of the underground world intersected each other, and basic information was quickly found. Some mercenaries and assassins who had fought side by side in River Valley Manor leaked the news.

Han Xiao's record of killing Bai Jin with three shots immediately exploded the eyeballs of the underground world.

Anyone who knew the name of Cinder of Lightning, the first reaction was that the information was false, but the conclusive evidence slapped them in the face. Some mercenaries took pictures of Bai Jin's tragic death, which were the wounds caused by the three shots!

Knowledgeable assassins felt horrified. Although Bai Jin was strong in offense but weak in defense, he was also a high-level individual combat force on Aquamarine Star, fearless of guns and bullets, how could he be killed instantly?

More people went to investigate the origin of Mr. Black, but found that this person seemed to appear out of thin air. No one knew his past identity, like a ghost, suddenly appearing and wandering in the underground world.

Mysterious and powerful, the code name Mr. Black began to become famous in the underground world and entered the attention list of many forces.

The old theory believes that assassins should be hidden in the dark, and being famous is equal to failure, but for the Blood Pact Society, fame brings customers, and fame is also a deterrent. Any enemy who dares to threaten the dark web organization must weigh whether they can withstand the assassin alliance's endless assassinations!

Since the old assassins of the Blood Pact Society died, left, or retired, the reputation of the assassin alliance was declining day by day. The Blood Pact Society vaguely had the trend of building Mr. Black into a signboard.
