Online game: God-level Assassin, I Am the Shadow.

As soon as Qin Feng made his choice, the gray-white wheel in front of him started spinning.

A phantom gray-white pointer gradually stopped at a region marked with a question mark.

"This is… a hidden class?"

Qin Feng's heart suddenly raced!

As the gray-white pointer stopped, the area with the question mark began to form a black symbol.

It resembled the Greek letter 'φ,' but with distinct differences. The upper and lower ends were like sword blades, sharp and exuding a murderous aura!

[Congratulations! You have obtained the class: Shadow (Unique)!]

[Shadow: A unique hidden class. You were born in the shadows and transform into darkness, the reaper of the night.]

[Class Passive 1: Stealth duration doubled!]

[Class Passive 2: +1 Stealth level!]

[Class Passive 3: If you attack while out of the enemy's sight, the damage of that attack will be doubled!]

Hidden Class: Shadow!

Qin Feng's heart surged with joy!

"This class is a god for solo play!"

"Last time, there was a Shadow player, but they were killed off early... I wonder how this class performs in the later stages…"

"However, just these three initial class passives already mean my survival capabilities will be strong!"

In the "God Abandoned Game," what was the most important thing?

At first, many people didn't understand.

But as more and more people died, everyone finally realized…

Survival ability was the most important!

In the "God Abandoned Game," death didn't mean actual death, but it caused you to lose half of your remaining lifespan!

This was the true cruelty of the game!

Players could earn lifespan in the game by killing monsters, and lifespan would become the universal currency in the world.

However, once you died in the game, your remaining lifespan would be halved…

"Lifespan to zero, and you will die."

"If you die in real life, you die too."

"To maintain strength in the real world, you must consume lifespan to extract equipment and skills from the game…"

"Lifespan is of utmost importance!"

Of course, survival ability is important, but damage is also vital.

The 'Shadow' class, as long as you attack outside the enemy's sight, the damage will double!

"Outside the enemy's sight… does that include stealth?"

"In any case, this class has considerable survival ability and damage."

"No wonder it's the unique hidden class."

Qin Feng was already very satisfied with this class.

At least, it was far stronger than the 'Warrior' class from his previous life.

Once he develops, even a tanky warrior class wouldn't be able to stop a blow from Qin Feng!

Next, Qin Feng checked his initial skills.

[Initial Skill: Shadow Step (Inferior). Enter a stealth state for 8 seconds. Attacking will reveal you. The first attack after breaking stealth increases attack power by 30. Cooldown 30 seconds.]

[Initial Skill: Backstab Enhancement (Inferior). Passive effect: Attacking from the target's back increases damage by 10%.]

The former is stealth, the latter increases damage when attacking from behind.

Both skills were at the lowest level, 'Inferior,' which was normal because all classes started with these basic skills.

"I have the Shadow class's passive that doubles the stealth duration... so that's 16 seconds of stealth."

"The cooldown is 30 seconds, so it's a bit short of infinite stealth."

Qin Feng felt a little regretful.

But quickly, he no longer felt regret.

Because...

The passive effect from 'Judgment of Authority' finally activated.

When Qin Feng's class was confirmed, the system randomly gave him a top-tier talent!

[Congratulations! You have obtained the talent: Infinite Evolution!]

[Infinite Evolution: A primary-level talent, gray-white quality. In solo mode, when you kill monsters, you will have a chance to gain 'evolution points' to evolve skills!]

(Notice: Every 24 hours, you automatically gain 5 evolution points. If you kill a boss-level monster in solo mode, you will gain evolution points 100%!）

[Current evolution points: 5 points!]

"What the heck?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be an immortal-level talent?"

"Why is it a gray-white primary-level talent?"

Qin Feng was stunned.

Primary-level? He had never heard of that!

Moreover, gray-white quality? Isn't that just inferior or normal quality?

It seemed…

This really didn't seem like a top-tier talent!

Of course,

Whether a talent is strong or not depends on the effect.

"'Infinite Evolution' can evolve skills?"

"Since that's the case, let me try evolving the 'Shadow Step' skill."

Qin Feng tried it.

He checked, and evolving the 'Shadow Step' skill required 1 evolution point.

When he chose to evolve…

The skill indeed changed.

——

[You have consumed 1 evolution point, remaining 4 points.]

[Initial Skill: Shadow Step (Inferior → Normal). Stealth state duration increased from 8 → 12 seconds. First attack after breaking stealth increases attack power by 30 → 60. Cooldown 30 → 28 seconds.]

——

"Stealth duration increased?"

Qin Feng's eyes lit up.

With the passive effect from his Shadow class, that's now 24 seconds of stealth!

If…

"Let's keep evolving!"

——

[You have consumed 2 evolution points, remaining 2 points.]

[Initial Skill: Shadow Step (Normal → Bronze). Stealth state duration increased from 12 → 16 seconds. First attack after breaking stealth increases attack power by 60 → 90. Cooldown 28 → 26 seconds.]

——

He consumed 2 evolution points, but the effects were significant.

The duration of stealth increased to 16 seconds, and with the Shadow class's passive, that's 32 seconds!

This already surpassed the cooldown time of the skill!

"'Shadow Step' starts its cooldown as soon as it's used."

"Now with such a long stealth duration, I can achieve infinite stealth, and each backstab will add 90 attack power!"

Don't underestimate those 90 extra attack power.

At the beginning of the game, a mage, archer, or warrior might only have around 20-30 attack power.

90 extra attack power is several times higher than others.

Also…

"My Shadow class passive, when attacking outside the enemy's sight, damage doubles."

"Those 90 extra attack power will actually double to 180!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but click his tongue.

His current strength was already comparable to what his warrior class was after a day of development in his previous life.

This is the power of a unique hidden class and top-tier talent!

"Primary-level talent… looks like it's truly a top-tier talent!"

"And this talent is called Infinite Evolution."

"Doesn't that mean I can keep evolving my skills, and their effects will become more and more insane?"

Qin Feng could only say...

His crossover and rebirth buffs were indeed not disappointing!

Additionally, because evolution points can be gained by killing monsters, Qin Feng didn't need to save them.

He could just use them and convert them into strength for the highest reward.

Keep evolving!
