The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

It turned out to be the case.

After changing jobs, the rules for the equipment slots changed. Before, when he equipped pistols and armor, although they could be seen on the panel, he still had to pick them up manually. Now it's different... his class weapon can be summoned directly from the void, used whenever he wants, and put away whenever he wants.

This feeling of "man and gun as one" is the true meaning of changing jobs.

Su Mu put away the gray spear and continued walking forward.

Having acquired the spear, he decided to temporarily forgo using firearms for monster hunting. Skills needed to be mastered through actual combat, and the cat demon before him was the perfect sparring partner.

A few minutes later.

Another cat demon appeared ahead. It was level two, crouching on a tree root licking its paws, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Su Mu gripped his spear tightly and slowly stepped forward. The cat demon's ears perked up, sensing something, and it suddenly turned its head.

His amber vertical pupils met Su Mu's eyes, and a low growl escaped his throat.

It pounced. It wasn't slow, but in Su Mu's eyes now, it was nothing special.

"batter."

The spear pierced through, its tip precisely embedding itself in the cat demon's jaw.

The cat demon's body was blasted open inside its skull by the spear tip, unleashing a burst of hidden energy.

[Defeat a Lv2 Cat Demon, experience points +1.]

Su Mu holstered his gun and subconsciously glanced at the skill bar. He knew the combo cooldown was 9 seconds. But at this moment...

9 seconds.

Su Mu was taken aback.

wrong.

He clearly remembered that when he used the thrust attack, the cooldown started counting down from 12 seconds. But from the moment he fired the attack until the cat demon died, it was only about two seconds at most. How did the cooldown jump to 9 seconds?

Did he remember it wrong? Or did he misread it?

Su Mu frowned, but didn't rush to a conclusion, and continued walking forward.

After walking for about five minutes, another cat demon came into view. It was a level two demon, lying on a rock sunbathing, its tail swaying slowly behind it.

Su Mu slowed his pace and stopped about ten meters away from the cat demon. He took a deep breath, locked his gaze on the cat demon, and tapped his fingers lightly on the gun barrel.

First, confirm the cooldown time.

He glanced at the skill bar... Thrust, available.

Then he made his move.

"Continuous stabs."

The spear rose, its tip striking the cat demon's jaw. As before, a single thrust was enough to kill it. The cat demon's body tumbled halfway through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Su Mu didn't look at the corpse, but stared intently at the skill bar.

The Thrust icon went dark, and the cooldown numbers started to fluctuate...

12s, 10s...

stop.

10 seconds.

Su Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

From firing a shot to securing a kill, it takes a maximum of one second. But the cooldown has jumped from 12 seconds to 10 seconds. In other words, within that one second, the cooldown lasted two seconds, resulting in an extra... one second being lost?

Su Mu stood still, staring at the skill bar, his mind racing.

Additional attack.

His talent [After any attack hits, an additional attack is triggered]... That shot just now, on the surface it was one shot, but in reality the system judged it as two attacks.

The rule for skill cooldown is "each hit reduces the cooldown of all skills by 1 second".

In other words, his shot actually hit twice. Therefore, the cooldown was reduced by 2 seconds.

Su Mu took a deep breath, his heart starting to race.

If that's the case...

He continued walking and found the third cat demon. It was a level one, crouching in the bushes, gnawing on something.

It immediately reduced the cooldown by 2 seconds.

really.

Su Mu's lips slowly curled up.

An extra attack counts as two hits.

In other words, every time he uses a skill, it's essentially like using it twice. Each successful skill hit triggers an additional attack, and each additional attack reduces the cooldown of all skills by 1 second.

What does this mean?

The cooldown of the Consecutive Thrust is 12 seconds. If you use all 7 moves, you can reduce the cooldown by 14 seconds.

His single-target control thrust has a 15-second cooldown. If you hit it 7 times, the cooldown is 14 seconds, leaving only a one-second gap. That allows you to seamlessly transition from the initial thrust to a series of thrusts, creating a complete cycle.

That's an exaggeration.

In this situation, even a blue-level monster isn't impossible to defeat!

......

After walking for about thirty minutes, Su Mu kept killing monsters along the way, which confirmed that his first skill did indeed reduce the time by two seconds.

And this moment.

A dark green figure appeared in the woods ahead.

This is no ordinary cat demon.

The creature was about half a person's height, covered in dark green fur—not the green of leaves, but a... moldy, poisonous green. The hairs on its back stood on end, like they were covered in steel needles.

Its eyes were scarlet, and its vertical pupils emitted a cold light in the shadows.

The most striking feature is its mouth... There is a curved fang on each side of its mouth, extending from the upper jaw, about the length of a finger, with a dark green luster at the tip.

Venomous Cat Demon. Level 2, Blue Quality.

Su Mu stopped and looked around. There were no other cat demons, just this one, all alone.

He gripped the spear tightly, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Previously, when encountering something like this, he would have to pull out a pistol, use a grenade, climb a tree, and spend ages figuring it out. Now...

He weighed the spear in his hand and slowly stepped forward.

The venomous cat demon also spotted him. Its crimson vertical pupils stared at Su Mu, and a low growl escaped its throat. It arched its back, its hind legs bracing for power...

Su Mu did not wait for it to make the first move.

"Thrust".

The spear suddenly rose from below, its tip piercing precisely into the venomous cat demon's jaw. The cat demon's body was propelled upwards by this force, its limbs flailing wildly in the air, saliva dripping from its fangs drawing an arc through the air.

[Thrust: Hit. Control duration: 1.5 second.]

The venomous cat demon flew to its highest point and began to fall.

Su Mu didn't wait for it to land. He took a step forward and, while the cat demon's body was still in the air, thrust out his first spear, without using any skills, but directly with a basic attack.

The angle of the shot was tricky... not a straight thrust, but a slanted upward slash, the spear tip slicing from the cat demon's abdomen to its chest, leaving a deep bloodstain. Dark green blood gushed from the wound, glowing eerily in the setting sun.

Then connect the skills.

The first shot hit.

[Combo Attack - First Move: Hit. Subsequent damage +10%.]

The venomous cat demon let out a scream in mid-air, trying to grab the gun barrel with its claws. But its body was completely out of control, its limbs flailing wildly in the air, unable to reach anything.

The second shot. Su Mu flicked his wrist, and the spear tip drew a semi-circle in the air before piercing the cat demon's ribs from the left. The angle was tricky, and the force was precise; the spear tip passed through the gap in the ribs and accurately pierced the lung.

[Combo - Second Move: Hit. Subsequent damage +20%.]

The cat demon's body stiffened abruptly. It opened its mouth, trying to spit out venom, but with nowhere to brace itself in mid-air, the venom dripped from the corner of its mouth, corroding a patch of charred flesh.

The third shot. Su Mu didn't use a stab, but instead tapped the cat demon's chest with the tip of the spear... as lightly as a dragonfly skimming the water, but the moment the spear tip entered the flesh, a hidden force emanated from the spear shaft and exploded inside the cat demon's body.

[Combo - Third Move: Hit. Subsequent damage +30%.]

The cat demon's eyes widened suddenly. Its mouth opened and closed repeatedly, a muffled gurgling sound emanating from its throat. Dark green blood gushed from the corner of its mouth, mixed with fragments of shattered internal organs.

Su Mu noticed that when the third shot hit, the cat demon's health bar was already empty.
