Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Edited by: CutieBinkie

3rd Chapter of the week? Hope we can pick up the pace in the following days. 건배!

“Kiki, that’s right. If the three of us have similar growth rates then we will see each other again someday.” The Lizardian said.

“Then see you again later, Leeha-nim!”

“Be careful! Ha Leeha-nim! Kiki.”

Be careful? What do you mean be careful? Leeha just waved his hand toward the two of them moving away.

The Lizardian and Giant stood out even after they entered the crowd. Users around them made a sound while they looked at the two races. Seeing their surprise, Leeha giggled.

“Well, I should be going now too. Before that…”

‘I thought I would use 40 sets of gunpowder, but I still have it. This alone makes me happy, but compared to what I will get moving forward, it’s like a drop in a bucket.’

“What the hell is going on?”

Leeha once again confirmed the things he missed while he was avoiding Biyemi’s suspicion.

[Achievement: One shot, one kill! – Golden Eagle King (D-)]

[Achievement: Sniper’s Etymology (C+)]

[Sniper etymology] Second to register the achievement.

“What is this really?”

Leeha once again opened his status window to check his stats. ‘I have leveled up once?’ That’s not even a problem. In addition, he got bonus stat points when he got to level 10, he thought about what stats he should increase but calmed his pounding heart.

“Character window.”

Name: Ha Leeha / Race: Human

Job: Musketeer / Level: 12 (7%)

Title: Knows a little about weakness /

Achievement: 10

HP: 540 / MP: 130

Stats:

Strength 31 (+21),

Agility 85(+55),

Intelligence 30(+20),

Constitution 26(+16),

Mind 12(+2)

Remaining Stat Points: 40

‘Heol… It’s a cheat. This looks like a cheat to me. I did not add any points to strength and intelligence but they are both over 30.

Leeha could see it himself. He only added stats when he was level 5 and never again after level 6.

Nevertheless, what are these ridiculous numbers?

The total amount of status points received from Achievements, titles, and even Madame Lou’s lunchbox is 114 points.

Except for the bonus points he got at level 10,  what if you just calculate it as a level for every 5 stat points?

“About 23 levels…

It means that it’s worth 23 levels if you only calculated the points earned. What about the 40 stat points that haven’t been used?

Leeha’s level is not 12, it should be considered as level 27 or higher, even compared to those who have quite a bit of achievement.

As mentioned, ordinary users graduate from beginner villages and only get one or two achievements.

And one of them should be catching the Golden Eagle which gives +1 to all stats.

The other is mostly about the minor achievements you get when you’re a beginner.

There’s no way they would achieve something like Leeha’s ridiculous achievements, which are recorded in the Hall of Fame. If you look at it like that, it would be safe to compare it with more than 30 levels.

‘Stat points… Let’s use it first.’

He didn’t really feel the lack of attack power.

He wanted to use it to increase his stamina, but they didn’t seem to be lacking because there are many achievements that increased stamina.

First of all, since he hasn’t been beaten by a monster recently, it was not urgent.

“Haha, really now.”

Leeha forcibly held back his laugh and closed his character window. Next is the skill window.

There was something new from getting achievements.

[Beginner’s Calm Mind (Lv.l)]

Explanation: When aiming at a moving target, the calmer you need to be. As you calm your mind, the trembling of your hand will stop.

Effect: Accuracy increased by 15% for 3 seconds Mana: 50 Cooldown: 30 minutes

“Hmm… This should be good.” Good. The fact that the accuracy rate is increased by more than 10% is really incredible. With this skill, you can increase your accuracy by nearly 70% from a distance of 100m.

‘But 3 seconds?? 30 minutes? Shouldn’t the two be swapped?’

Is it so difficult to keep a calm mind? If you use the skill, you have to fire within 3 seconds, and you can’t use it for 30 minutes after that.

‘Certainly staying calm is hard.’

Leeha tilted at the ambiguous effect.

[Beginner’s Musket Mastery (Passive)(Lv.4)]

Description: You become more familiar with the musket the more you use it. Increases accuracy and reloading speed.

Effect: Additional increase in accuracy 1.5%, additional increase in loading speed 1.5%

“Uum… Can this be considered as good?”

I’ve reached level 4, but 1.5%? Obviously, at level 1, it was just 0%. Then, it can be said that it is increased by 0.5% per level.

“This is true…”

But it’s a little vague.

The bargaining skill which is also at level 4 like the Musket Mastery, made Leeha feel that way.

‘Right, it’s already at level 4. Let’s take it slowly, slowly.’

Because, like items, skills also have ranks. It is said that every time a skill reaches level 10, its rank will rise.

The first is beginner, the next would be intermediate, and the third would be advanced.

The fourth is the master.

This is what has been revealed so far.

It is said that level 200 rankers have just

entered the master rank. It would be very difficult to raise the skill level, but as the Maximum level has not been revealed yet, there must be a next one.

‘At the beginner-level 4 level, the accuracy rate is increased by 1.5%. What if you raise the mastery to about master rank level 10?’

Maybe at that time, it will increase by 50% with just the passive? What if you use a calm mind then?

‘Will the accuracy exceed 100%? No, does that make sense? Kik Kik.’

Leeha is currently level 12. Having such delusions should be viewed as cute.

“Hello!”

“Omo, whose this. If it isn’t [Knows a little about weaknesses] Ha Leeha-kuun. Have you already successfully hunted?”

“Aigoo, really. Please don’t call me that and hunting… Keuk keuk,  yes. I was successful.”

Madame Lou welcomed Leeha who entered the Holy Grill. Leeha smiled cheerfully and took out the meat of the golden eagle.

“Isn’t it too fast? You’re not trying to trick me, right?”

“Cheat you? I received so much from madame, how could I cheat you?”

He did not want to cheat, and even if she could be cheated, Leeha did not want to cheat the Giant in the kitchen. It was terrible to imagine that he would rush out with the big knife while trimming the meat he had been sent using trickery.

“Hoho, I also trust Ha Leeha. So, where’s the meat?”

“Here it is.”

“Ah, this…

[You have completed the quest: Coordination with the development of a new menu of the Holy Grill(2).]

Madame Lou looked at the large chunk of meat that Lee Ha took out. The meat of the golden eagle, extending from its wings to its legs, was enough to fill the bag.

“Amazing. This elasticity… Oh, here’s a special remuneration.”

“What if you didn’t give it?”

“How could we do that! To our Mr. Haiha.”

Madame Lou winked at Leeha.

[Obtained 1 silver.]

“Oh!”

In fact, 1 silver is not a large amount, but it felt like a lot of money from Leeha’s point of view.

He has to, as he only thinks about gunpowder and burnt.

“You know, the meat of the golden eagle isn’t readily available, right?”

“Ah…

Leeha was able to understand Madame Lou’s words. All beginners hunt it but it won’t be easy to get meat.

A linked quest with Candle Castle’s hidden boss, Black Angus. He didn’t know, but there are only a few people who have received the quest.

If you don’t receive the quest, the item won’t come out, so you won’t be able to get it.

‘Plus, isn’t 30 seconds too short?’

He didn’t know about other Instance Dungeon, but the Golden Eagle dungeon only took 30 seconds to close after death.

In normal cases, it would be difficult to even take the meat. Leeha would also have failed if he had not had experienced running on mountain trails in the army.

‘The day came to appreciate the mountain march experience.’

Of course, considering the degree of difficulty that even Madame Lou’s own is difficult to obtain… … As expected, the one silver special reward is very small.

“I’ll make a lunch box, so wait. Oh, why don’t you go in and see our Kiyomi? He was sad that he wasn’t able to see you last time.”

“He felt sad?”

“Yes. Because it’s difficult to meet people like Mr. Haiha on a regular basis. He said he wanted to see you again as he was sharpening his knife.”

Recalling the huge kitchen knife, Leeha swallowed nervously. Today, he had no choice but to meet him.

“You don’t want to?”

“I do. I will say hello before leaving. Haha.”

Don’t tell me we’re going down and I’m going to become a human meat dumpling as they did in some old novel, right? Leeha followed Madame Lou and went to the kitchen.

“Kiyomi! Ha Leeha-ssi is here!”

“Are you saying the meat has come?”

The bass echoing the giant’s cave spread through the kitchen. He said, “I’m here, but you said that the meat came?

“Yes. It’s very plump.”

“That’s good.”

Kung, Kung, The kitchen ingredients tremble every step of the way. Giant Chef Kiyo-Mifgar stood in front of Leeha.

“Oh, here…”

Leeha looked into the giant chef’s eyes that were looking at him. It was profoundly wet eyes.

Suddenly, Leeha thought of another giant he knew. Jin Gonggong’s simple expression and Kiyo-Mifgar’s expression were somewhat similar.

“Thank you.”

The Giant literally took a step and hugged him tightly.

“Oooouehk, Why, why are you doing this”

Leeha regretted that he did not even load his musket. Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be his intention to suffocate Leeha.

His eyes were twinkling and the expression was very bright.

“I didn’t think that someone would bring such good meat like this. Like the last Black Angus, it’s absolutely impossible for anyone who isn’t interested in cooking. Ahm”

“Ugh, huh, then let go of me first- please.”

It could be said that he was glad he found out a new fact about choking in-game. Kiyo-Mifgar hurriedly released the hug and laid Leeha down.

Leeha cleared up his breathing by inhaling a blocked breath.

“Do you like meat?”

“Phew. Meat? Yes. Of course, I like meat.

“In my opinion, people who like meat cannot be bad. Have you ever thought of learning to cook?”

“Yes?”

Leeha suddenly recalled what Madame Lou had said last time. Yes, the Giant Chef said he wanted to teach you cooking himself.

Obviously, there is no job as a chef. In Middle Earth, classes are only classified as related to battle. However, it is not without production skills.

‘Right. Some people deliberately choose a warrior class to become a blacksmith.’

People who choose their main class in a direction that favors subclasses and production skills and connect them. Such people call themselves craftsmen and production workers.

The most popular ones are blacksmiths, carpenters, and tailors, and it is said that the income of skilled craftsmen is better than expected.

Of course, being a craftsman is not easy. In order to obtain production skills, you have to learn and polish their basic skills first.

For example, a person who wants to become a blacksmith has to learn mining as a miner first, and a person who wanted to become a carpenter had to learn logging as a woodcutter, and if he wanted to become a tailor, he had to learn the skill of spinning threads first.

In other words, the basis for learning practical production skills is that you must first learn the skills related to the materials used.

‘If so… Is cooking a primary skill or secondary skill?’

The relationship is certainly ambiguous.

However, since it is close to ‘production’, I wonder if it is a secondary production skill… If cooking requires primary skills, do I need skills related to slaughter? Or growing vegetables?

Anyway, I think I need something, but maybe the fact that he was looking for good quality meat was enough to satisfy the qualifications.
