Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Ch 12

Chapter 12

‘Shit, I got lucky this time. I thought I was going to fight with the butt again.’

It’s good enough to have 50% chance to hit at 110m distance.

My career as a sniper in the army has finally come to light. Like shooting a congratulatory gun for the first hunt with a musket, Babam!! Even sound effects rang.

‘This sound……? surely?’

Leeha heard a familiar sound. In an instant, a window popped up, making Leeha’s vision dizzy.

[Achievement: I was blown away to the past (F-)] Congratulations! You succeeded a long ranged attack without using the Combat Assistance System! Did you shoot some outside?

Effect: Agility +1

[Achievement: Omae wa Mou Shindeiru (C-)]

Congratulations! There are no weapons that can counterattack outside 100m. Don’t blindly shoot, because the enemy is already dead.

Effect: Strength +3, Agility +7

You are the third to achieve〈Omae wa Mou Shindeiru 〉

The first three users to get this achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Honor. The effect will be increased to 200%. Effect: Strength +6, Agility +14

“OMG! What is this? Character window!”

Two achievements added at once.

Additionally, the words that made Leeha’s wide open, Hall of Fame?

“200% increase in effect.”

The importance of additional stats has already been confirmed through the trading site. One ring that raised the stamina by 7 points is sold for about 5.5 million won.

Above all, users only get 5 points per level up.

In addition, there are bonus points on certain level thresholds in addition to the original 5 points per level.

For example, every 10 levels, the additional stat given is 5 points, and when reaching level 100, 20 bonus points are given.

In other words, if a level 1 user achieves level 100, the total number of stat points according to level up is 570.

Of course, there are additional ways to get stats, but at least that is the standard overall stats.

But what about Leeha’s stats now? The calculation can be done in an instant.

’42 points earned only from achievements? This isn’t just a simple help anymore! It’s just like I leveled up eight times, right?’

Leeha’s mouth widened from side to side. No matter how much he controlled it, he couldn’t prevent himself from laughing.

‘In other words, awesome, amazing. It’s extremely difficult to gain 10 stats from a single achievement! But I think I deserve it.’ As stated in the description, and according to the item specifications currently revealed in Middle Earth, there is no weapon that can attack from outside 100m.

To make it successful, you have to turn off the combat assistance system and use a ranged weapon with a fairly long range.

Naturally, the difficulty level is not normal. He is the third person to achieve it.

‘No. It’s okay though. It’s good enough.’

100 million cumulative subscribers after 4 months of opening. It would be top impossible to get into the top three in any achievement of such a game unless it was someone who played the game as soon as it started.

In other words, it can be assumed that no one has ever succeeded in such an attack from a distance.

“By the way……. thinking about it……

Wouldn’t those who started early in the game get this enormous benefit? It is a little regrettable. Nevertheless, I couldn’t stop the laughter coming out.

“Huhu, heuheuheu.”

Leeha took stepped forward to get the rabbit skin.

After a step, he had the urge to respond to the ridicules he got before.

“You can catch a rabbit just by cutting it? Yes, cut away. I will go my way..”

After taking the rabbit skin, he looked around immediately.

The rabbits are spread out. Leeha looked at the corner where the players who ran, knives, avoided kicking, and shouted magic spells.

Now that he experienced the feeling of shooting at 110m distance, the next step is easy.

Anyway, now that he had the feel for it, he is confident at hitting targets within 40m without the help of the combat assistance system, as well as targets between about 90m and 120m, he is able to manage as long as he get the same feeling as before.

Leeha took out the black powder wrapped in paper and opened the powder plate. He calmed his mind and, after completing a series of actions necessary for loading, he blew the gunpowder into the muzzle.

“7 in front. I lay down to eat rice cakes, no, I lay down and shoot.”

This guy is only 90m away. He searched for the feeling he got earlier.

Taaang—-!

It takes 0.3 seconds for the bullet to reach the rabbit that is 90m away from Leeha.

Leeha knew that it would hit as he felt the similar sensation earlier.

“Haa. I need to practice increasing the accuracy rate for a while.”

The sigh he did now was different from the sigh he did earlier.

Leeha got up and held the musket upside down. Will the butt break?

‘The last one.，

Leeha’s fingertip pulled the trigger.

The users around are now familiar to gunshots that they are no longer surprised by the sound. A rabbit 60m away flipped over with one of its feet twitching.

“Good!”

This resulted in three successive shots at the edge of 60m.

‘I can now hit all target within 50m, miss one out of five beyond that and I have 50% accuracy at 100m. It’s good enough just to get the 40m limit of the item.’

A white light surrounded Leeha. It is as if a white curtain was covered around him.

“Oh? Oh?”

Unlike Leeha, who was surprised, people around him laughed.

[You leveled up.]

“Congratulations. You leveled up.”

“You used to bludgeon the rabbits to death, right? Kek, your gun skills have improved a lot. You should have used it earlier.”

“Whoa is that a level up? I still have to catch three more.” As it is difficult to level up, did the add a visual effect to it?

The white light surrounding Leeha like a living film, became more and more intense, and then paat-! The light scattered.

“This……”

There aren’t many people who laugh at themselves when they receive the evaluation for not being able to hit accurately using a gun.

Congratulating his level up with curious eyes and clapping hands, Leeha cried without even noticing. There seemed to be something like a teasing in the middle, but compared to being looked down, it felt more like being teased.

“Thank you, Thank you.” The congratulating people also wanted to level up and after congratulating for a while focused on leveling again. Leeha quietly opened the character window.

‘Um, where do I invest my points?’

It is not possible to know which stats have exactly what effect. What if investing in agility only works for attacks using combat assistance systems?

It would have no effect on Leeha who had no choice but to fight with the combat assistance system turned off.

‘Of course not. Let’s save it first. I can ask Kijeong more of this and post it after doing more research. There’s no need to rush.’

It is also true that the stats are not low thanks to the tremendous bonus of achievements. Leeha looked at the number 2 next to the level, smiled once, and closed the character window.

“Oops, leather!”

It is still too early to be impressed. Leeha ran towards the far away rabbit’s corpse.

“Good, let’s go back.”

Hunting for the tenth rabbit is over, and the tenth leather is obtained. Afterwards, he put leather in his bag and headed for the village.

After he stepped towards the village, a light suddenly appeared and something came out.

“Wha!”

It’s a rabbit.

‘So they appear like this. It’s the first time I’ve seen them regenerate.’

It was his first time seeing how mobs appear out of thin air, but he felt sadder that surprised upon seeing the rabbit.

Wouldn’t it have been so violent if I had suffered so hard while catching a rabbit?

“Right. This guy. Thank you for the experience.”

Kkui?

Leeha held his musket upside down. Anyway, it’s better to raise your experience whenever you can.

“Kriyaaah！”

KKyu! Kkui!

The rabbit’s eyes turn red as soon as it got attacked. However, it couldn’t resist the attack power of the musket being weilded by Leeha or, precisely, the musket’s butt.

It only took 3 attacks to kill the rabbit. The level 2 Leeha needed only 3 attacks in order to kill the rabbit the the musket’s butt.

“Heuheu，I needed to run before when I see a rabbit. Thanks for the experience. – No, wait.”

He suddenly had a strange idea.

With the combat aid system switched off, it currently takes about two minutes to load the musket himself. This was already shortened by practicing extensively.

1……That is, 2 minutes for loading. If the target is about 100m, away it will take another minute to go to collect items. 3 minutes per head.’

But now?

‘8 seconds to hunt. Even though the item didn’t come out, you can pick it up immediately. It only take 10 seconds per rabbit’

3 minutes versus 10 seconds.

The same experience and time spent trying to get the same item.

He couldn’t help getting sad.

‘Am I musketeer?’

His steps toward Candle Castle suddenly felt heavier.

“Quest completed.”

“Oh! So, was the ferocious rabbit worth dealing with?”

“It is stronger than I thought, but it is only a rabbit.”

Leeha smiled, forcibly ignoring the past when he had a blood fight with the rabbit. The NPC in the chain mail asked Lee Ha with twinkling eyes.

“So where is the evidence?”

“That…… Ah, Leather. It doesn’t end with only a conversation.

Once you have completed the quest, you should show proof of that. Leeha took out ten rabbit skins that were piled up in a bag.

“Hana, dol, set…… yol gae. That’s perfect. Thank you, stranger! What’s your name?”

“My name is Ha Leeha”

“It was a great help to the Candle Castle Police Force, Ha Leeha.. Me, and the guards hank you in the name of Candle Castle.”

[You have completed the ferocious rabbit hunting quest.]

[In the Candle Castle, all NPCs and shops increase by 10%.]

[Intimacy with the Candle Castle Guards is increased by 15%.]

“Here is your reward.”

Substantial quest rewards were handed over to the laughing Leeha. Is it really necessary to give the item before getting the reward, can’t we just trade directly?

[Acquired 50 copper..]

“Only 19,999 gold 99 silver 50 copper left.”

“Hmm? What did you say?”

“I-it’s nothing.”

He couldn’t stop his laughter as he grabbed a pocket of coins into his bag.

A long and difficult journey up to 20,000 gold.

Finally, the first step was taken. It was a ridiculously small amount compared to the target amount, but the joy was indescribably great.

“Oh, you don’t want rabbit meat? Give me other jobs…

“Nice to be motivated! But the work of our police force is quite dangerous. Even considering the safety of Ha Leeha-kun, I can’t leave you with an unreasonable task. If it’s rabbit meat, the restaurant in the central fountain square will buy it. They always lack meat.”

“Ahh!”

Leeha realized immediately.

There is a level limit in the Guard quest. However, the difference is that the tone is a little softer than before. Was it because intimacy increased?

“Okay. Can I come back at level 5 or so?”

“I’m not sure what level the strangers are talking about, but that should be enough..”

“Thank you, platoon leader Jiart.”

“Yes, see you again.”

At Leeha words, the Guard Captain Jiart nodded.

Even in one of the gestures of giving and receiving greetings like this, Leeha felt that the intimacy was rising.
