It's normal for me to be a bit stronger than others when I can instantly kill monsters with ful

What does it mean to be getting further and further away from humans?

Wei Ning remembered that the earliest reminder from "A Thousand Miles Away" was something like "You have surpassed humanity".

Wei Ning didn't understand these strange words.

But one thing is certain: he did learn pickpocketing.

This is an assassin-type skill. As the name suggests, this skill allows you to steal items from your target.

Moreover, this is a life skill that can be continuously improved as the player's level and proficiency increase.

Wei Ning, a curse sorcerer, learned the assassin's [pickpocketing] skill.

What about the other skills?

For example, [Sprint] and [Stealth].

There's also [Escape into the Shadows].

Can these skills be learned?

Wei Ning rolled his eyes and returned to the view of the large map.

The [Pickpocket] skill book was obtained by killing a [Shadow Assassin].

If we kill another one, will we get other skill books?

Without hesitation, Wei Ning stared at Zhang Heiniu, who was fleeing on the map.

Raise your wand and unleash your full power.

"No! Don't!"

Zhang Heiniu fell off his mount.

He fell to the ground and rolled around.

He was stunned again, and this time his health bar dropped even faster than before.

He was clearly more seriously injured.

"Help, please!"

"I was wrong!"

"Gods, great immortals, spare my life!"

Zhang Heiniu knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowing repeatedly until his face was covered in blood.

The meadow was empty, except for two [Lv.7 Groundhog Monsters] staring at him with their two big, dark eyes, looking at him with suspicion.

He's used up all his survival skills.

The consumables purchased from the auction house and the World Mall are almost gone.

Three more sips of the blood vial would be his last chance to recover.

But given the current rate of health loss of two thousand at a time.

He truly had no hope.

He now only hates himself for being lazy.

I didn't want to prepare any return scrolls.

He recently bought two houses for his mistress, and invested the rest of his assets to recoup his losses.

He thought he could take on some small jobs and not have to worry about his life.

But who would have thought that a level 19 veteran assassin would encounter a life-threatening situation in a level 9 area?

The key issue is that we still don't know where the threat is coming from.

Another puff of black smoke appeared, and Zhang Heiniu felt as if someone was choking him, causing his health to drop again.

He gripped the blood vial tightly, the medicine choking him and turning his mouth crimson.

dying.

What is death...?

Zhang Heiniu felt a chill.

"Hehe, you've finally met your match..."

"Do you know how to beg for mercy now...?"

"Good riddance, good riddance, hahaha..."

One by one, figures appeared before my eyes.

Zhang Heiniu saw those he had persecuted.

Women, male students, female students, children...

Those faces that once begged him for mercy and struggled painfully under his blade.

At this moment, they all turned into smiling faces and surrounded him.

The twisted bodies beneath the blade all took on his likeness.

In that instant, he felt as if he had experienced countless ways to die.

All the methods he used to kill people were applied to him.

Time seemed to stand still.

Zhang Heiniu was subjected to continuous and agonizing torment.

Countless knives and claws pierced his body.

It will never end.

Deep in the wilderness.

Wei Ning lay on the "malicious dumpling" and continued to relax his trapezius muscles.

Just now, he successfully killed the second assassin and obtained another skill book.

[Pickpocketing - Skill Book - Player].

Yes, it was pickpocketing again, and the book was exactly the same as the one Zhou Bai Niu dropped.

But it's not that it can't be used.

Wei Ning consumed the second skill book, and his [Pickpocketing] skill immediately changed:

Learn [Lv.20 Pickpocketing], which can be used on targets below level 29.

Repeatedly consuming books also has a cumulative strengthening effect.

Not only did it save Wei Ning the time of grinding proficiency, it also broke through Wei Ning's current level cap.

Normally, the [Lv.20 Pickpocketing] skill can only be learned after the Awakened player completes the level 19 job quest and successfully enters the level 20 stage.

No matter how much you grind proficiency, you can't break through this limitation if you don't do quests in dungeons.

But Wei Ning only ate a book.

It directly surpasses all assassins at level 19.

Wei Ning suspected that if he read a few more books, his pickpocketing skill might even surpass level 29 and reach [Lv.30 Pickpocketing]. Then he could pickpocket level 39 targets.

What does Lv.39 mean?

At Qinglian Middle School, where Wei Ning works, the highest-ranking homeroom teacher is only from the 19th grade, and the grade director is from the 29th grade.

The section chiefs of the Awakening Division who visited the school before were only level 39.

This is the highest level that the people of Qinglian County can see in their daily lives.

Those level 49 and 59 players basically only appear on the stage of county news and large local events. Their daily lives are completely detached from ordinary people.

After sorting out his thoughts, Wei Ning became happier and happier.

It's only the first day, and it's only a little past 1 a.m. according to world time.

I spent the entire day scrolling through my phone from morning until the early hours of the morning.

He leveled up rapidly, soloing the [Lv.9 Ghost Infant Cave] and reaching Lv.15.

Not only did they gain the ability to kill Lv.19 enemies from a distance, but they also accumulated 5 Moon Coins, 500 World Coins, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous equipment, items, and consumables through loot packs.

He has now learned a skill beyond his profession: [Lv.20 Pickpocketing].

Moreover, he can learn even more in the future.

For example, the Paladin's "Invincibility," the Priest's "Prayer," and the Mage's "Magic Breath"...

Wei Ning really wants to learn.

Are there any more people who deserve to die? Let me kill one.

Wei Ning easily thought of two people.

Wang Haoren and Li Chan.

In the morning, on the metal cart, the arrogant Wang Haoren was Lv.13, while Wei Ning was Lv.1.

Wei Ning is now Lv.15, what level is Wang Haoren, you little devil?

Wei Ning zoomed out and brought the view back to the entrance of Zone 3.

On the park map, many teams are counting their spoils.

High barbed wire fences stand around the park's plaza.

The plaza lights and searchlights scanned the park.

The new employees stood in two long lines with their heads down.

Hand over the spoils on the left, get your food on the right.

Those who know it are familiar with the park, but those who don't might mistake it for a prison.

The alloy gates of the plaza opened, and a red sports car roared in.

The sports car deliberately accelerated and rushed towards the queue of people, scaring them into scattering and fleeing.

Several of the exhausted new employees fell to the ground, tumbling and crawling in a very disheveled state.

Wang Haoren opened the car door, got out of the sports car, and stepped off the car onto a classmate who hadn't had time to get up yet.

Wei Ning could only see the outline of a person on the map.

He didn't know what Wang Haoren said when he lowered his head.

But the student was clearly terrified and repeatedly raised his hand to beg for mercy.

Wei Ning stared at Wang Haoren's arrogant and domineering profile and raised his left hand.

He squeezed the [Lv.9 Holy Infant Tendon], and an extremely pleasant sensation surged in his stomach, rushing from his back to his brain.

A white magical glow flashed, and the Awakened's panel displayed the following message:

The [Mirror-Breaking Arrow] deals 45060 magic damage to [Lv.13 Wang Haoren].

Penetrates [Void Shield] by 300 points of absorption.

Penetrate [Stable] 1500 points of absorption

Penetrates [Reflection Amulet] by 1000 points of absorption.

Defeating [Lv.13 Wang Haoren] grants 12200 experience points.

Obtained [Lv.13 Loot Pack - Excellent]

Obtain the [Etherealization - Skill Book - Player]

Obtain [Storage Box - Wang Haoren]

Obtain [Black Heart - Material - Rare]

……

The experience points Wang Haoren provided were actually higher than those of the two level 19 assassins.

Li Chan happened to be next to the sports car.

They must have come to welcome Wang Haoren.

This saved Wei Ning some trouble.

Wei Ning raised his right hand, purple smoke swirling around his fingers, and a notification appeared on the panel:

The [Cursed Touch] skill deals 19628 magic damage to [Lv.19 Li Chan].

Penetrates 500 points of absorption from the [Life Amulet]

Kill [Lv.19 Li Chan]

Obtained [Lv.19 Loot Pack - Excellent]

Obtain the [Stealth - Skill Book - Player]

Obtain [Storage Box - Li Chan]

Obtain [Black Heart - Material - Rare]

……

Wei Ning's experience bar was full again, and he easily leveled up to level 16.

After consuming two skill books, his abilities were enhanced once again.
