Chapter 48 - 45 Deduction of Grandmaster Reconnaissance
Chapter 48: Chapter 45 Deduction of Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill Chapter 48: Chapter 45 Deduction of Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill Editor: Atlas Studios Da Fei faced the bulky crocodile moving like a bulldozer shoving sand forward and fired his second shot! “-247!” “-159!!!”
—Boom! Sure enough, like a balloon bursting, a giant lizard covered in slime burst forth from the crocodile’s belly!
—System Prompt: You killed a Cannibal Giant Crocodile on the Desolate Island, gaining 15,000 experience!
—System Prompt: You killed a Leader-level creature higher in level than you solo, achieving progress 12/100 on the achievement “Lonely Warrior Hundred Wins.”
—System Prompt: You have obtained the information of the Master-level Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill “Intelligence Analysis.”
Haha! Wahahaha! Da Fei’s crazy laughter echoed across the beach! Just two shots and four arrows to obliterate a BOSS that would be impossible to beat under normal circumstances! What is this? This is me being awesome!
What should I do now? So many crocodile BOSSes, such a pain-in-the-neck mission scene, can’t call it a pain anymore! You all just make my hundred-win dream a reality! Under normal circumstances, only players who reach a certain level of boredom can achieve this, but now, it’s within my grasp, just like this big feast is within reach! I am the true man standing at the top of the food chain!
Another two crocodile bellies exploded with a bang, and a golden light descended from the sky! Level 21! Leveled up! One crocodile is 15,000 experience, a hundred crocodiles make 1.5 million, how many levels can that raise me? 24? 25? 26? Wahahaha! I’ve only played for three days! What’s the highest level player in the world right now? Eh, what do I care, not my business, I have no interest in comparing realms with others, wahahaha!
Keep going!
Another crocodile was blasted into submission without resistance. The beach of the Desolate Island witnessed the most hideous, most sinful human slaughter. It wasn’t for survival hunting, self-defense, or even trading, but purely for the experience! That’s the game, games are truly sinful! As players, what dark and twisted desires are we really trying to fulfill in this game?
Da Fei’s mind settled from the initial frenzy, beginning to deeply ponder a profound question—why does each crocodile kill prompt information on the Master-level Reconnaissance Skill’s sub-skill “Intelligence Analysis,” yet I can’t find any information? Where is this information?
The key issue was what I thought first, “Intelligence Analysis” is clearly a skill recorded in public Skill Books, you can learn it at Master-level if you have Skill Points, it’s not like “Mysterious Stealth Navigation,” which isn’t recorded in Skill Books and requires players to gather information, so why continually prompt for information?
To become a true expert, a true professional player, one must learn to think, learn to observe!
Observational skills might be limited by the player’s level, causing them to miss many important things, like that God-level Scroll, but your mind is your own, no one can take it away! That’s how I became a navigator, so I won’t lightly miss this powerful combat skill sub-skill in this Reconnaissance Skill.
Learning “Intelligence Analysis” isn’t hard; the difficulty lies in raising the Reconnaissance Skill to Master-level! Without reaching Master-level, collecting more skill information is pointless.
So the next question is how to reach Master-level? The official website’s only hint is for players to understand and discover on their own, the method is not unique! This is the dividing line between experts and regular players.
Juan’s diary recorded that he leveled up with a golden light after seeing through Pirate King Red Beard’s Divine Skill Mysterious Stealth Navigation, which is an important revelation. But this insight comes with a premise, at least his Reconnaissance Skill must have reached Master-level, right?
And what’s my Reconnaissance Skill Level? Advanced! So what’s there to comprehend?
There’s nothing more to say, at this crucial enlightened moment, I’m not about to hoard Skill Points, my leveling is like riding a rocket, why worry about any points? Besides, my initial goal was to max out Reconnaissance Skill.
Da Fei was no longer confused, while reloading his weapon, he pulled out the Reconnaissance Skill Book—this time keeping a clear eye, it’s Reconnaissance Skill, no mistake!
—System Prompt: You spent 1 Skill Point, and learned Expert-level Reconnaissance Skill!
—System Prompt: You spent 1 Skill Point, and learned Master-level Reconnaissance Skill!
Reconnaissance Skill, university graduation!
—Master-level Reconnaissance Skill: The hero’s field of vision increases by 100%, the hero gains night vision ability. The hero can train special Reconnaissance troops in their castle, scouts…
With the skill level soaring two levels, Da Fei felt the world broaden! This feeling, so refreshing! The benefit of a clear vision is that it even seems to clear one’s thinking.
Come on, now I’m at Master-level, now eligible to discuss Grandmaster-level.
Since there isn’t a single method to understand Grandmaster-level, Juan apparently achieved enlightenment through the Anti-disguise Skill, what skill will I gain enlightenment from? Undoubtedly, it must be the sub-skill Intelligence Collection! It’s the only skill I’m using.
Only by learning to “Collect Intelligence” can one obtain the strange special skill information indicated by those three question marks, further analyze to find monsters’ weaknesses, and deal damage that ignores defense, this is the skill principle of “Intelligence Analysis,” right?
But now, the effect is the opposite; the monster is bursting out its weakness after gorging itself, it’s impossible not to deal high damage, no analysis needed! In other words, the current situation is deriving skills from practical combat rather than skills influencing practical combat! So, the system keeps prompting skill information on Intelligence Analysis?
What does deduction mean? For instance, how did Newton’s law F = ma come about? First, discover the phenomenon, collect data, establish rules, and finally derive the formula, that’s deduction! The current situation is mostly deduction.
Boom! Another two arrows fired! Although Da Fei’s mind was occupied, his hands didn’t stop.
—System Prompt: You killed a Cannibal Giant Crocodile on the Desolate Island, gaining 15,000 experience!
—System Prompt: You advanced your information collection on the Cannibal Giant Crocodile on the Desolate Island!
—System Prompt: You have obtained the information of the Master-level Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill “Intelligence Analysis.”
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, advancing the information again! He quickly opened the crocodile’s information panel to see, and the three question marks finally turned into text!
—Gluttony Weakness: Reptilian creatures often cannot choose the size of their food, only gobbling it down whole, resulting in a significant decrease in defense and speed.
That’s it! The reason they were question marks before was because my Reconnaissance Skill level was insufficient, making it difficult to collect more detailed intelligence! Now that I’m at Master-level, of course it’s feasible. If it were Grandmaster-level, would the information collected be more detailed? After all, Master-level only states a significant reduction without specifying the numeric decrease, such vague wording clearly isn’t a formal special skill introduction, so there’s bound to be more detailed information.
The problem is, I’m not Grandmaster-level!
In that instant, Da Fei’s train of thought sharpened! To verify his hypothesis, Da Fei immediately reloaded his weapon and aimed at the next crocodile!
Boom! With a loud crash, the crocodile died violently,
—System Prompt: You advanced your information collection on the Cannibal Giant Crocodile on the Desolate Island!
More information surfaced! Da Fei once again opened the information panel, no new question mark skills, just the same text introduction. What information am I collecting then?
Is that even a question? Of course, the system’s backend is constantly sampling data! Different levels of crocodile bloating result in various reductions in defense and speed, and when all samples are collected, that’s when “Gluttony Weakness” unfolds detailed data, achievable only with Master-level Reconnaissance Skill!
What does this entail? Still deriving skills from practical combat! What does this mean?
Skill perfection day, comprehension Grandmaster time! Haha, wahahaha! Suddenly enlightened, Da Fei burst into heavenly laughter! Thinking about it for so long, in the end, isn’t it just investing in Skill Points to reach Master-level Reconnaissance Skill, then killing specific monsters? What’s all the fuss? Keep killing!
