Chapter 1 Nie Yan's Great Thief

The Great Thief, carrying Nie Yan's memories.

The Great Thief had many skills, and everyone's understanding of them was different. The effects they produced were also completely different. In this life, Nie Yan had a deeper understanding of the Thief class. Playing the Great Thief class again would definitely be much stronger than in his previous life.

Nie Yan suddenly remembered that he had a Great Thief skill book in his backpack. He quickly took it out. In the early stages, every Great Thief skill book was very expensive, and it only slowly became popular later on.

He took out the skill book and looked at it.

Skill Book: Reverse Backstab (Free Skill)

Skill Description: The Thief evades the opponent's attack through physical movements, with two seconds of invincibility, goes behind the enemy to attack, and causes an enhanced backstab effect.

Activation Requirements: Action (weapon required), 50 Rage points

Skill Attributes: Gains an additional 100%-300% attack damage bonus and armor-breaking damage when hitting the opponent.

Skill Cooldown Time: Thirty seconds.

User Restriction: Thief, Great Thief or higher job title, any faction can use.

Generally, skills above the Great Thief level would have a free skill label. If one could use free skills well, they could unleash two or three times their own combat power. If used poorly, free skills might not be as practical as ordinary skills.

Nie Yan learned this skill. He glanced at the skill bar. This Reverse Backstab skill required Rage. Rage needed to be acquired in battle. Attacking enemies or being attacked would grant Rage.

Reverse Backstab was a combo skill. Completing it would grant a certain number of combo points. Combo points needed to be released with a finisher. The more combo points, the higher the attack when releasing the finisher.

The Great Thief's combo skills and finishers still needed to be collected bit by bit. From the moment one job changed to Great Thief, the skill bar would change drastically. Ordinary skills would start to be replaced by free skills, and some ordinary skills could be upgraded to free skills through quests and other methods.

Nie Yan was full of anticipation for the Great Thief. Some things were familiar to him, while others were completely new challenges.

"Respected Great Thief, Demon Hunter, Scholar, this is your Medal of Honor. May the Thieves Guild be glorified because of you." Parrot said in a very formal tone.

Nie Yan clicked confirm on the trade. The Medal of Honor fell into his backpack. This medal was made of dark metal and was engraved with some ancient patterns in the style of the Co-Governance Era.

He looked at the attributes of this Medal of Honor.

Nie Yan's Great Thief Medal of Honor: Exclusive Item.

Attribute Description: Stealth +20, Perception +30, Attached Skill, Shadow Phantom Assassination (Free Skill). The Thief evades the enemy through body movements and footsteps, delivering a throat-sealing strike to the opponent. This skill is a finisher. Each combo point grants additional critical strike damage. Skill cooldown time is 60 seconds. Attached skill: Death Immunity. Ignore all control skills for 2 seconds. Speed bonus +10%.

Limited to Nie Yan himself. This item is bound, cannot be traded, and cannot be dropped.

Shadow Phantom Assassination and Death Immunity were definitely two very powerful skills. As a free skill, Shadow Phantom Assassination, like Reverse Backstab, was a skill that needed to be comprehended. Death Immunity, which ignored control skills, was also very useful. It could be used to save lives at critical moments.

Nie Yan put on the Great Thief Medal of Honor.

"Respected Mr. Nie Yan, may glory be with you," Parrot blessed.

"Thank you, respected Mr. Parrot," Nie Yan said. He bid farewell to Parrot and walked out of the Thieves Guild. If he wanted to develop in the future, he had to master the Great Thief's skills first. After more and more free skills were available and used proficiently, he could become a true powerhouse.

Nie Yan walked through the streets towards the auction house.

The streets were filled with people. Nie Yan, wearing a large cloak, was one of the masses. If he didn't take off the cloak, no one would recognize him.

He unintentionally opened the super transaction channel. The number of views on it had reached more than a million, and the daily transaction volume had reached a terrifying level. Because of the super transaction channel, the sales of several auction houses in Calore had skyrocketed by as much as 70%. The money Nie Yan earned from the six auction houses every day had increased from the original few thousand gold coins per day to the current thirty thousand gold coins. The daily income was amazing.

Many players were staring at the main page of the super transaction channel, and once equipment with Dark Vision appeared, they would immediately participate in the auction.

After a while, Nie Yan arrived at the auction house and continued to put equipment with Dark Vision on the market. The attributes of this batch of equipment were better than the previous batch. The auction house showed another round of hot sales. The eyes of all the players in Calore were attracted. Those with money frantically bid, and those without money could only envy them, thinking about when they could bid on +2 or +3 Dark Vision.

The popularity of several large auction houses was driving Blood狂刀 crazy. He understood that no matter how many pieces of equipment with Dark Vision were auctioned on the market, all the money earned would fall into Nie Yan's pocket. At least three to four hundred thousand gold. How could Zhan Dao 嗜血 continue to play if he earned three to four hundred thousand gold each time?

Nie Yan didn't care. Anyway, as long as Zhan Dao 嗜血 was still around, his kill order wouldn't be withdrawn!

He went to the guild's office. The players entering and exiting the office were all smiles. The thought of Zhan Dao 嗜血's current cowardly appearance made them feel relieved.

Seeing Nie Yan come in, they greeted him one after another. Nie Yan's appearance alarmed the entire guild.

"Where are Dao Guang and the others?" Nie Yan asked Guo Huai.

"Dao Guang and the others went to the Nilan Arena. According to what you said, they are preparing to clear the monsters there. They should be back in an hour," Guo Huai said.

"When they come back, form a group to clear the Intermediate Fortress," Nie Yan said. Today, they should be able to clear the Intermediate Fortress.

"Today?" Guo Huai was stunned for a moment. He had originally thought about going in a few days.

"Those who are job changing can be excluded to avoid affecting their job changes. Those who haven't reached level 50 will probably be able to level up two or three levels if they go to the Intermediate Fortress once, which is much faster than leveling up outside. Start gathering people. We need at least five thousand people who are level 45 or above," Nie Yan said. Clearing the Intermediate Fortress was a major project.

Nie Yan began to prepare various items. He took out a full sixty thousand gold coins to buy various consumables and purchased a large number of area-of-effect magic bombs, various magic scrolls, and potions.

Zi Yan sent a batch of area-of-effect magic bombs. Among them, there were as many as five or six thousand primary area-of-effect magic bombs, and there were also more than a thousand intermediate area-of-effect magic bombs. The intermediate area-of-effect magic bombs had 500 area-of-effect damage, and had an additional 300% damage increase against mechanical units.

The entire Ni Ren Gong Hui began to mobilize nervously. Guo Huai began to mobilize players. The entire management team operated efficiently and sent messages to the brothers of Ni Ren Gong Hui.

The Ni Ren Gong Hui players who were leveling up and killing monsters in various parts of Calore received the news. Hearing that Nie Yan was personally organizing guild activities, they immediately used the return scrolls to rush back. Those who were doing quests postponed them if they could, and those who couldn't postpone them gave the management a leave of absence.

White lights flashed across the teleportation array in Calore. One by one, the Ni Ren Gong Hui players returned to Calore and rushed towards the direction of the Ni Ren Gong Hui office in Calore. More and more Ni Ren Gong Hui players gathered in the field outside the guild office. Guo Huai and others nervously began to count, and some of the people who had been counted were teleported back to the fortress first.

Nie Yan was inside the office, responsible for commanding and receiving the news summarized by Guo Huai.

Another series of system prompts sounded.

System: Frost Condensation Cloak auctioned successfully, earning 5200 gold coins.

System: Rock Battle Armor auctioned successfully, earning 5880 gold coins.

......

The equipment Nie Yan auctioned today had the best attributes among this batch of equipment. In addition to Dark Vision, the other attributes were good. Even if the Dark Vision attribute was removed, it was still good equipment. Such equipment was more popular among high-end players. Those top players were very enthusiastic about this equipment.

After a while, Nie Yan received 510,000 gold coins, which was much higher than he had expected. He asked A Chen to come over and领走 250,000 gold coins. This was used to support the Ares Tribe. With these 250,000 gold coins, Ares would not have any financial difficulties for the time being. They would usher in a wave of development peaks. In addition, Nie Yan distributed 50,000 gold coins to each guild in the Ashen Faith and the Holy Roman Empire. They also helped a lot in the fight against Zhan Dao 嗜血.

In addition, 60,000 gold coins were used to buy various consumables.

Of the 510,000 gold coins, only 100,000 gold coins were left, all of which were placed in Ni Ren Gong Hui to meet the guild's expenses. In addition, Nie Yan's daily profit margin had reached as much as 80,000 gold coins.

The entire Ni Ren Gong Hui currently had more than 500,000 gold coins left. In addition to the profits from various virtual assets, it would definitely be no problem to cope with the next six or seven days. After six or seven days, Nie Yan would have another batch of equipment shipped up for a new round of auctions.

In this way, Ni Ren Gong Hui would not have any funding problems. As for Zhan Dao 嗜血, their funds could no longer cope. It was still a question of whether they could last a few days.

With all these things arranged properly, Nie Yan was much more relaxed. He glanced at the skills on his body. He had to find time to practice Reverse Backstab and Shadow Phantom Assassination. If he was not familiar with these two skills and could not use them, these two super skills would be useless.

After a while, Cui Can Dao Guang and others returned one after another. At this time, in the open space outside the Ni Ren Gong Hui office, nearly five hundred people had gathered. They were the captains of the various teams, as well as some important members of Ni Ren Gong Hui. The other members had been teleported back to the fortress.
