SSS-grade Talent?
Qin Chuan was a little shocked.
Because as far as he knew, in his previous life, the highest talent revealed globally was only SS-grade.
Perhaps there had been SSS-grade, but they didn't survive until the Gods descended.
And that sole SS-grade talent holder also stood at the pinnacle of global players relying on that talent.
As one of the top ten global experts, he alone could dominate the other nine.
This is the importance of talent.
In his previous life, Qin Chuan awakened the A-grade talent Conqueror, and coupled with his own talent and effort, he had already become one of the top ten experts.
And now, he had actually awakened an SSS-grade Talent!
"Not Conqueror?"
Qin Chuan thought rapidly.
It seemed his rebirth had brought some changes.
It was hard to say for now if it was good or bad, but at least for the moment, it was good.
This was an SSS-grade Talent.
An SS-grade could create a global number one, so just thinking about what heights this SSS-grade Talent could take him to made Qin Chuan's heart race a little.
"Is it because of the Arrow God's will fragments?"
Qin Chuan pondered inwardly, while also checking the attributes of this SSS-grade Talent named Sniper God.
[Sniper God LV1 (SSS-grade)]
[Effect 1: Ranged attacks are guaranteed to hit and damage type is changed to True Damage]
[Effect 2: For every 1 meter increase in distance from the target, damage increases by 10%]
Even as a ten-year veteran of Apocalypse and having experienced rebirth, Qin Chuan couldn't help but breathe heavier.
With just one glance, Qin Chuan realized how terrifying this talent was!
"By the mid-game, after players' attributes improve, attacking from thousands of meters away is nothing."
"If Divinity is unlocked, one can even attack from thousands of kilometers away."
"And the Sniper God's damage amplification reaches a hundredfold at a thousand meters!"
"The most crucial thing is, ranged attacks are guaranteed to hit and deal True Damage!"
"This means that unless invincibility is active, no amount of armor is meaningful; only increasing HP can withstand the damage."
"But no matter how high the HP, how many hits can one withstand?"
"Invincible, this talent is too invincible."
"And this is just LV1 Sniper God; if it continues to improve, the damage will likely skyrocket!"
Qin Chuan became increasingly excited, and at the same time, a realization dawned on him.
The awakening of this talent is likely related to the Arrow God.
After all, the Arrow God claimed to be invincible in archery the moment he appeared; if he possessed the Sniper God talent, then he truly wasn't boasting.
"Fortunately, I used my seven-stage great leap and three-stage charge to close the distance back then, otherwise it's hard to say who would have won."
Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little fearful.
Then he frowned again.
He thought of a problem.
Normally, upon obtaining the Sniper God talent, one would definitely choose the Archer profession.
But Qin Chuan had experience killing the Arrow God; although it was a one-for-one trade, it was still a kill, so he knew the limitations of this profession.
The damage is very high, but the survivability is not strong.
And Qin Chuan's creed was that output only comes from being alive, which is why he chose Warrior in his previous life.
However, his talent has changed in this life, so choosing Warrior again is definitely not suitable.
But Archer also has some limitations.
For a moment, Qin Chuan was in a dilemma.
At this moment, the game pod spoke again.
"Dear player, detecting that you possess an SSS-grade Talent, we recommend the profession with the highest compatibility for you - Archer."
"Ding, based on your talent level, all hidden professions in the Archer class have been unlocked."
Qin Chuan was not surprised by this prompt.
After players awaken their talents, Apocalypse will recommend related professions based on the talent.
If the talent is high enough, hidden professions will even be unlocked.
In his previous life, Qin Chuan obtained the Heavy Armor Warrior, a hidden profession specializing in defense, only after awakening an A-grade talent; paired with the Conqueror talent, he became both tanky and had output.
Now, Apocalypse is giving Qin Chuan advice for his SSS-grade Talent and unlocking all related hidden professions.
This is the privilege brought by high-level talents!
However, Qin Chuan didn't plan to follow Apocalypse's recommendation.
Because he was clear about the shortcomings of the Archer profession; even hidden professions couldn't fundamentally change the issue.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration crossed Qin Chuan's mind.
He thought of what profession to choose.
Assassin.
That's right, it's Assassin, a profession that walks in the shadows and seeks survival on the edge of a blade.
At first glance, the Assassin profession and the Sniper God talent seem completely unrelated, even contradictory.
After all, Sniper God requires distance, while the Assassin's role is melee output.
But what Qin Chuan valued was the Assassin's survivability.
The Assassin's professional positioning is high attack and low defense, pursuing extreme burst damage, so as a balance, they will have some unconventional survival methods.
The most basic Stealth goes without saying, it's the Assassin's signature skill.
Besides that, there are various skills like Shadow Step, Wraith Cloak, Evasion, and Sprint, emphasizing running away if you can't win.
Of course, these alone were not enough to make Qin Chuan abandon the most compatible Archerprofession to choose Assassin.
What Qin Chuan valued most was the Assassin's passive ability, Break Stealth Strike.
After breaking Stealth, the Assassin's first attack will deal extra damage.
The most crucial thing is, this damage benefits from talent and equipment bonuses.
In other words, the damage from Break Stealth Strike can receive the Sniper God's bonus!
"I remember that Assassin who was ranked number one in my previous life; with equipment and skill enhancements, the damage multiplier of Break Stealth Strike reached over ten times, practically a guaranteed kill with one strike."
"If paired with the Sniper God talent."
"Even at a distance of a hundred meters, the final damage can reach a hundredfold! And it's True Damage that ignores damage reduction!"
"And this is just LV1 Sniper God; if Talent Stones are obtained to upgrade it, the damage will further increase!"
The more Qin Chuan thought about it, the more he felt this plan was feasible.
Apocalypse is different from ordinary online games; the boundaries between professions are not that distinct.
The simplest example is that Assassins can also use bows, they just can't learn as many skills as Archers, nor can they learn the Archer's signature skills.
But for Qin Chuan, he didn't need that many flashy skills.
He just needed to hide in the shadows and launch a Break Stealth Strike from hundreds of meters away, and that would be enough.
With dozens or even hundreds of times damage amplification, even a casual arrow would be enough to instantly kill a BOSS!
If there were ranged skills, the damage would be even more exaggerated!
After instantly killing, he could still use Stealth to escape.
Is there a safer way to fight than this?
"It's decided, I'll choose Assassin!"
Qin Chuan wasn't the indecisive type; once he decided, he wouldn't change his mind.
Facing the suggestion provided by Apocalypse, he directly responded with his will.
"That's a very good suggestion, but I choose Assassin."
"Okay, we will now recommend Arch..."
For a moment, Qin Chuan felt the electronic synthesized voice stutter.
Fortunately, the game pod quickly provided new audio.
"Based on your talent level, all hidden professions in the Assassin class have been unlocked for you."
"Once a profession is selected, it cannot be changed, please choose carefully!"
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Qin Chuanalways felt that the prompt emphasized 'choose carefully'.
However, he was too lazy to dwell on these details and instead eagerly started checking the professions.
There were quite a few hidden professions in the Assassin class, so Qin Chuan directly checked the top five.
