Chapter 3: The Terror of Information Sharing!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
[Talent Skill: Information Sharing]
[Level: 1]
[Effect: Use meditation to scan and share information among those of the same species, the information transmitted is a type of “language”, with an effective range of ten meters.]
Jobs looked at the skill explanation for Information Sharing.
The general idea was that he could now perceive the basic information of an area within a certain range through meditation. At the same time, he could transmit this information to his companions in the form of an attribute panel.
2
Just by looking at the description of the skill, Jobs could tell that it was an extremely powerful skill.
What was the scariest thing for a person who was traveling in a world filled with danger?
Indeed, the unknown!
Currently, there were quite a number of places where the various races were undergoing transactions with the human cities. In these places, as well as in the wilderness, there were countless races that wanted to kill the humans.
Once Jobs had this skill, he could activate Information Sharing. By scanning the area with meditation, no creature could hide itself.
At the same time, when facing an enemy, their basic information would be presented to him!
1
He knew everything about his enemy, but the other party did not know anything about him.
This was a huge advantage.
More importantly, this skill allowed him to share this information with his companions.
Information Sharing was terrifyingly powerful indeed!
Having just obtained this skill, Jobs wanted to try it out. However, he had killed off all the creatures in the surrounding grassy area. Even if he activated the Information Sharing skill, he would not be able to find anything.
2
Thus, Jobs had no choice but to give Little Yellow an order to follow him into town.
It was already close to noon, and it was time for the residents of Laner Town to return home for lunch after a busy morning.
As soon as he returned to town, Jobs saw Sir Bruce and his party walking toward him.
Sir Bruce looked to be more than 40 years old, but he still looked very energetic. His entire body was covered in a bright silver armor. This was an armor that only a Rank Three Swordsman could wear.
There were seven or eight young men following behind him. Some of them were wearing black iron armor and had sharp swords at their waists. Some of them were wearing robes and exuded a mysterious aura.
They were all part of the younger generation in the town who could cultivate magical elements. Although the Shipley Continent was a world of swords and magic, the human race could barely find one in a hundred people who could sense and cultivate magical elements.
This group of people had just finished their morning hunt and were returning to town.
Information Sharing was activated as his spiritual sense swept out through meditation to scan their information. Lines of text immediately appeared before Jobs’ eyes.
[Name: Bruce]
1
[Race: Human]
[Level: Rank Three Swordsman]
[Martial Skill: Double Slash, Quick-Draw Slash]
[Status: Healthy]
…
[Race: Human]
[Level: Rank One Swordsman]
[Martial Skill: Quick-Draw Slash]
[Status: Exhausted]
…
[Race: Human]
[Level: Rank One Mage]
[Magic: Low-level Fireball, Low-level Heal]
[Status: Weakened]
Jobs looked at the personal information panel before him. Under the premise that he knew Bruce’s name, the system even thoughtfully displayed Bruce’s name for him. As for the young men behind him, it displayed some basic information.
They were: Race, Level, Ability, and Status.
Every piece of information was extremely useful when faced with an opponent. Through race, one could know the racial weakness of the enemy. Through level, one could see the strength of the other party. Through martial skills, one could see the hidden trump cards of the other party.
As for status, it was even more useful. Under certain circumstances, he would be able to detect whether his defeated enemy was really on the verge of death or was just pretending. There were many ways to deal with such situations now.
Prior to this, he had only read the system’s explanation. It was only after he had personally witnessed the information provided by the Information Sharing skill that he truly felt how powerful this talent skill was.
With this skill, Jobs was certain that as long as he encountered an opponent of similar strength to himself, he would be able to easily defeat them. Even if he encountered an enemy that was much stronger than him, he would be able to safely escape.
While he watched Bruce and the others walk by, before Jobs could react, another special attribute panel suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Race: Wild Boar]
[Level: 1]
[Status: Near-death]
The near-death condition of the wild boar carried by several young swordsmen caught Jobs’ attention.
Currently, among the prey that Bruce and the others had caught, be it the deer or the hare, the information showed that they were dead. Only the boar, which was covered in thorns, looked dead with blood flowing out of its mouth, but was actually still in a state of near-death.
Besides, Bruce did not have the habit of bringing living prey back to town.
Thus, right now, Jobs was certain that there was a 90% chance that the wild boar in front of him was pretending to be dead. In reality, it was recovering its strength so that when they reached the town, it would suddenly break free and escape!
One had to know that a wild boar in a desperate situation was still very strong in combat. The two curved and sharp tusks on its mouth would leave a bloody hole when they pierced into a person’s body. It was extremely dangerous.
However, what attracted Jobs the most were the words on the wild boar’s information panel.
Status: Near-death!
If he could kill a dying wild boar, it would definitely be a huge harvest.
Seeing that Hunter Bruce was about to walk past him, Jobs directly said, “Uncle Bruce, wait a moment.”
Bruce, who was in front, was stunned. He turned to look at Jobs, asking, “What is it, little brother?”
After sizing up Jobs, he said, “If you are in any trouble, I can bring you back to town and stay at my place for the night.”
Bruce was a very helpful person.
1
Jobs shook his head and looked directly at the wild boar carried by the young swordsmen behind Bruce.
“Uncle Bruce, I feel that there’s something wrong with this wild boar behind you.”
“Although this wild boar is covered in injuries, none of them are fatal. Furthermore, the movement of this wild boar’s abdomen is very rhythmic. Combining all the information, I feel that… it’s not dead yet!”
Hearing this, Bruce was stunned for a moment. At the same time, even the wild boar behind him trembled slightly.
When Bruce turned around in disbelief, the suspicion on his face soon turned into realization as a smile appeared on his face.
“Damn it, this beast is still alive!”
When Bruce noticed this, he was about to pull out his iron sword and slash down. When Jobs noticed this, he was shocked and immediately spoke, “Uncle Bruce, wait a moment. Can I kill this wild boar myself?”
Bruce stopped what he was doing but did not seem to understand Jobs’ strange request. However, seeing that there was no joking expression in Jobs’ eyes, he could only believe that Jobs wanted to personally kill a wild boar to train his courage.
“Little brother, you have to be careful. A dying wild boar is also very dangerous. Be careful of its tusks.”
“I’ll lend you this dagger.”
Seeing that there were no tools on Jobs’ body, Bruce handed the dagger at his waist to Jobs.
After receiving the dagger, Jobs almost forgot everything that Bruce had said. That was because, at this moment in his eyes, there was only this dying wild boar!
Killing a ladybug monster provided 0.1 points.
Killing an earthworm gave 0.3 points.
If he were to kill a wild boar with such tenacity and vitality now, how many monster points would he get?
He did not dare to think about it. Suppressing his pounding heart, Jobs held the dagger in his hand and fiercely stabbed at the wild boar’s neck!
Stab!
[Ding! Congratulations on killing a wild boar. You have received 10 Monster Points!]
2
The system notification sounded by his ear, he had obtained a total of 10 monster points!
The monster points obtained from killing a wild boar was equivalent to killing a hundred ladybugs!
He had really made a killing this time!
“Little brother, are you alright? This is the first time you’ve killed a prey. You’ll get used to it in the future.”
Bruce patted Jobs’ shoulder and comforted him as he thought that this was the first time Jobs had killed something.
2
“Yes, I am okay.” After regaining his composure, Jobs smiled at Bruce and answered.
“In that case, we’ll take our leave. If you want to learn swordsmanship in the future, come find me. I admire young people like you!” Bruce smiled and hit Jobs lightly in the chest, obviously pleased with Jobs’ performance.
Then, he turned around and left. As he returned to the town, Bruce did not forget to reprimand the young men behind him, saying that they could not even compare to Jobs.
Watching Bruce leave, Jobs did not stay idle.
After returning home, Jobs immediately opened the system interface to upgrade Little Yellow. After all, he had only raised it to level 5, but the talent skill that Little Yellow had given him was too powerful already.
What kind of talent would it provide him if he advanced it by another five levels?
“???”
“Why do I need so many monster points to upgrade from level 5 to level 6?”
2
As soon as he opened Little Yellow’s message, Jobs was shocked.
Initially, he thought that after killing a wild boar, he would have enough monster points to let Little Yellow level up a few more times. However, he did not expect that Little Yellow’s attribute panel showed that it would require 2,000 monster points to upgrade from level 5 to level 6!
4
From level 1 to level 5, the experience required to level up increased exponentially, so he subconsciously thought that it would consume 320 monster points to level up from level 5 to level 6, but he did not expect it to need so many points.
Now that he thought about it, it might be related to the change in Little Yellow’s grade.
Little Yellow’s enhancement from level 1 to level 5 was based on the growth of the insect species.
After upgrading to level 5, even the race on Little Yellow’s information panel had changed. There was even a new column for grade on it.
[Pet: Little Yellow]
[Race: Worm Beast—Wasp]
[Grade: Grade 1 Worm Beast (Level 5)]
7
[Ability: Strengthened Stinger, Information Sharing]
3
Strictly speaking, the current Little Yellow was no longer of the insect race, but of the Worm Beast race.
4
This was an evolution!
After the racial change, the monster points required to level up increased dramatically.
Thus, another thought involuntarily appeared in Jobs’ mind. Each time, if he enhanced his pet to a certain level, he could change the species of the pet. If he enhanced this pet to the highest level, what powerful creature would it evolve into?
Even if it was just a wasp, would it be able to kill thousands of people in one strike?
Would that bring him more talent skills?
The moment this thought appeared in Jobs’ mind, it lingered for a long time.
“On the path of pet evolution, I still have a long way to go.”
“I still need a large number of monster points now!”
1
Jobs was increasingly certain of the current situation. Only by obtaining large numbers of monster points could he continuously enslave new pets, strengthen pets, and even send pets to hunt monster points for himself.
Next, he had to think about how to obtain more monster points.
