My career aspirations have come true.

Chapter 35 The Limits and Breakthroughs of Attributes

on Monday.

Lin Ze stepped into the office of Group Eight as usual, only to find it empty; Tang Wangshu and the other two were not there.

He didn't pay much attention, walked straight to the computer and sat down, skillfully logged into the legion's intranet, went straight to the exchange section, and found the entry for Swift Shadow Hand.

Swift Shadow Hand, a common-level skill, greatly increases hand movement speed, especially suitable for users of melee weapons such as swords and daggers.

Previously, in order to exchange for the Blood Burning Card, Lin Ze had to temporarily give up this skill. Now that he has an extra skill, he naturally thought of it first.

"The effect of Swift Shadow Hand is a perfect match for the Sword Master class, and it can be combined with Triple Slash to create the superior-grade skill Phantom Slash."

"Moreover, it focuses on improving strength and agility, which can make up for my last 0.1 point of strength deficiency."

"Once my strength increases, the training cycle for the Steel-Cutting Technique can be shortened considerably."

Without hesitation, Lin Ze decisively chose to exchange his money and then got up to head to the logistics department.

A few minutes later, he returned to his office with a skill card that gleamed with a faint golden light and slapped it onto the professional mark on the back of his hand without hesitation.

You have mastered the skill 'Swift Shadow Hand Lv1' (Normal), Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1.

For Lin Ze, whose base stats are already extremely high, the boost from a normal-level skill is limited, increasing both stats by only the minimum of 0.1.

Fortunately, it was enough to allow the power to break through the most critical threshold.

The moment the words appeared, Lin Ze felt a surge of powerful energy welling up within him.

职业者属性划分中，3、5、8、13......分别是1级到4级的界限。

The reason for this classification is that once any attribute reaches these values, a significant qualitative change will occur.

Lin Ze could now feel that his strength was at least 30 to 40% greater than before.

An increase of only 0.1 points in an attribute would not be enough to bring about such a significant change.

This is a breakthrough in terms of power.

"All four attributes have reached the level 3 standard."

Lin Ze summoned the control panel, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"His agility has reached 10.8, a value that surpasses most level 3 professionals."

Most professionals will focus on specific aspects when improving their attributes.

Taking the Sword Master as an example, the main attribute is Agility and the secondary attribute is Strength. Most of the skills that are compatible with the Sword Master will also focus on improving these two attributes when leveling up.

The other three attributes will also increase, but only slightly.

This also means that most professionals will find it difficult to improve all attributes at the same time.

Being able to improve one or two of them at the same time is already quite good.

Many experienced level 3 professionals may have one attribute approaching 13, but other attributes may not even reach 8 points.

Severe imbalance in academic performance.

A situation like Lin Ze, where all four attributes are perfectly balanced, is extremely rare among level 3 professionals.

Of course, professionals can also balance their attributes by learning relevant skills, but the effect is very limited.

After all, a person's energy is limited, and if you have too many skills, you simply can't upgrade them all.

Lin Ze only has a clone, otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle all the work.

In terms of attributes alone, his current strength already surpasses that of many level 3 professionals.

With the addition of the two excellent level 4 skills, Draw Sword and Swift Strike, he was confident that he could defeat most level 3 professionals and even put up a fight against weaker level 4 professionals.

If you add Blood Frenzy to that, even a level 5 professional wouldn't be unable to fight.

"It's a pity that most of the profession-specific skills cannot be shared between the main body and the clone, otherwise Blood Manipulation and Execution Mark could have raised my combat power to another level."

Lin Ze thought with some regret.

"In terms of skills, the main focus will be on upgrading Draw Sword and Swiftness, aiming to reach the maximum level as soon as possible."

Due to the nature of their profession, Jingzhe can share the skills "Draw Sword Slash" and "Swift Instantaneous Movement," and can help each other train to gain skill experience.

"Let's leave the hunting to the Winter Solstice."

After logging out of the internal network and turning off the computer, Lin Ze was preparing to go to the training building for specialized training in the Steel-Cutting Blade technique when the office door was suddenly pushed open and Jiang Lei walked in.

"Lin Ze, you've come at the right time. Come with me for a bit."

"Another shift?" Lin Ze was slightly taken aback.

"It has nothing to do with the joint operation," Jiang Lei explained casually. "Someone found traces of a professional fugitive in the suburbs, so we went to check it out."

"Where are Zhuang Yi and the others?"

"I went to the training area early this morning." Jiang Lei waved his hand with a smile. "The target is just a Level 3 wanted criminal, not a high threat. There's no need to make a big fuss. The two of us are enough."

"Okay." Lin Ze nodded in agreement. "I'll go to the restroom first."

Jiang Lei's lips twitched slightly, and he hesitated before speaking, "Actually, I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. Do you have some... uh... minor health issues? Why do you always need to go to the bathroom before every mission?"

"I urinate frequently," Lin Ze replied without changing his expression.

"Go quickly and come back quickly."

Two minutes later, Lin Ze returned on time.

The two went downstairs to the parking lot, got into a black official car, and slowly drove out of the North District Detachment's location.

Lin Ze sat in the passenger seat, watching the street scenes rushing past the window, and casually started a conversation.

"Team leader, when will the joint operation end?"

"Soon."

Jiang Lei answered while driving.

"After all this trouble, we haven't even gotten a glimpse of the right time. Several team leaders are starting to doubt whether this organization really exists and are planning to shift their focus to the Winter Solstice and the Awakening of Insects."

"It just so happens that Blood Eagle and Steel Fist have been searching for the two of them in a big way lately. If we keep a close eye on them, we might be able to find something."

Lin Ze was taken aback: "How did Blood Eagle and Steel Fist get involved too?"

He didn't remember ever hitting Bloodhawk or Steel Fist.

Jiang Lei said, "Blackstone has put its drug business up as a prize. Whoever can kill Winter Solstice and Awakening of Insects will win the prize. Blood Eagle and Gang Fist are now frantically searching for them all over the city."

"I see." Lin Ze's eyes flickered.

It seems Blackstone has really been pushed to the limit, resorting to such a huge investment.

It didn't matter. His previous plan was to deal with the Blackrock Guild first, and then take action against the other guilds, so as not to offend too many forces at once and increase the pressure on the hunt.

Now that my strength has improved, it's the perfect time to expand my hunting range.

As for whether he would be caught by Blood Eagle and Gangquan, Lin Ze was not worried at all.

Anyway, he can recall his clone at any time, and if things go wrong, he can just escape.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Ze inquired about the two guilds.

Jiang Lei has been in the North District for seven or eight years, so he must have a deep understanding of Blood Eagle and Fist of Steel, and may even know some intelligence that is not in the Legion's database.

Jiang Lei seemed to be in a good mood and was very open with his information.

The two chatted happily, and the atmosphere inside the car was pleasant and relaxed.
