Chapter 617: Watch Carefully How I Assassinate This Time

The novice assassins quickly followed the memories in their minds, combining them with the focused observation of the first step to conduct a more meticulous gaze, watching every micro-movement, every blink, and even every shift of attention of everyone around them.

Of course, as a beginner tutorial, the requirements for this step were relatively low, and it was permissible for a passerby to glimpse a flash of a white shadow without being alarmed.

This step was clearly much harder than the previous one, but Su Tianji still appeared quite clever, and after a few attempts, she actually cried out: "Ahaha! Success!"

At this moment, she heard the game prompt again: Basic Posture

High-Profile and Low-Profile Postures

In the original game, the high-profile posture facilitated drawing power but was also extremely easy to detect, risking exposure and forcing a brawl instead of a hidden blade instant kill, whereas the low-profile posture was different, remaining stealthy and reducing the chance of detection.

But in reality, would walking past in a showy manner get you noticed, while walking past in a timid manner made people completely blind?

Of course not.

As everyone knew, veterans of battle mostly possessed a sharp scent for danger, be it intuition or perception; the assassins lived in a chaotic era, not a peaceful one, having experienced only more war and danger, and the bosses were clearly not so foolish as to simply let themselves be assassinated.

Sometimes, they did not even need to see it to escape a crisis.

So, while the basic method of deceiving sight had already been synchronized, what was being synchronized now was naturally the basic way to deceive senses and perception.

At this moment, a soldier appeared before the player, facing them, and what needed to be done was to walk straight over and throw him into the genetic sequence ahead.

Without any killing intent, let alone any hostility, one had to adjust their breath, state, and all aspects within the edge of the opponent's vision, blending into the surrounding environment, giving off the feeling of a passing bystander, or even a stone, a wall.

It was something even great cultivators and great martial artists would disregard in their perception, let alone an ordinary soldier.

Thus, the livestream audience soon saw the soldier acting as if he were blind, seemingly watching blankly as the protagonist controlled by Su Tianji walked over, grabbed the soldier by the collar of his chest, and threw him into the genetic sequence.

Synchronization complete.

"Awesome!"

"Holy crap, that's incredible...!"

Many people's eyes widened in astonishment.

This visual effect was clearly explosive.

As for the high-profile posture, it was about how to perfectly utilize one's own power, using 100% strength to exert 200% efficacy; of course, there were only basic steps here, and it could be completed simply by running noticeably past a soldier of similar build and reaching the genetic sequence circle.

And at this point, it was time for the final step of synchronization—performing a complete assassination using all the knowledge synchronized before.

Naturally, it was the simplest assassination, requiring only the assassination of an ordinary soldier and then escaping the scene while being pursued by another soldier.

With these synchronized techniques from before, even for a newcomer, assassinating just one soldier naturally became simple.

And so, a scene similar to the Assassin's Creed cinematic trailer unfolded.

A white-robed assassin could be seen stepping forward at a leisurely pace, the hidden blade striking out, evading the ensuing pursuit of the soldiers, blending into the crowd, and sauntering away.

As an ordinary swordsman, Serra did not quite understand, but as true assassins, Irina and Haxin suddenly saw the light.

How did they usually hide? By creating a spell like an energy cloak for themselves, making it impossible for human eyes to see their presence and difficult for spells to perceive them.

Yes, the assassins of this world knew magic, it was just that its use was different from that of mages.

And how did the Judgment Shrine counter assassinations? Naturally, by using higher-level magic to see this person's presence and perceive this extra energy.

Or by using magic to directly dispel this state, disrupting this energy system.

Naturally, the assassins could only research stronger spells for counter-reconnaissance, and thus stronger spells were born, such as the hiding method used by the "Shadow Killer" who fought Zong Wu.

So how did the Shrine protect against it?

Naturally, by deploying divine arts; after all, in this world, things that could surpass divine arts, even if they existed, were extremely rare.

Thus, the assassins could only focus on researching spells that could hide under divine arts.

Yet, how could human wisdom compare with gods who had existed for countless years? This clearly fell into a vicious cycle.

But now, they seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

At this time, Su Tianji, after continuing to watch the cinematic for a while, saw the protagonist Altaïr, an exceptionally talented assassin who became a Master Assassin in his twenties, yet due to arrogance, violated three tenets of the assassins in a row during the assassination to seize the Piece of Eden in Solomon's Temple—killing an innocent old man, exposing himself, and leading the Templars to the assassins' stronghold, endangering the Brotherhood.

And at this moment...

"Well~ now this master will demonstrate to everyone what a perfect assassination is, and how a Master Assassin should conduct an assassination." Having just gone through a round of beginner tutorials and witnessed a smooth assassination process, Su Tianji was clearly bursting with confidence at this moment.

"What Altaïr did just now is definitely unacceptable, everyone must not learn from it," Su Tianji said solemnly. "Now let us interpret how a true Master Assassin does it."

She had the full aura of a grandmaster.

At this time, the Templars had already fought their way into the village.

"Look closely, everyone, this Templar's attire is quite luxurious, he should be a high-ranking knight." Su Tianji had already spotted a Templar by now. "So now we adjust ourselves to his visual blind spot."

Everyone was watching with great enthusiasm.

"We walk over," Su Tianji spoke, switching the voice channel of the livestream room. "Watch closely how this master assassinates this time."

"This distance is enough!" Su Tianji was seen walking up openly, then leaping high, her hidden blade snapping out, like a great eagle swooping down from the sky, the hidden blade thrusting fiercely towards this Templar's vital spot!

"Clang!" A flash of sword light, a parry, a turn.

Su Tianji instantly fell to the ground.

On the screen: Desynchronized.

Looking at the black-and-white screen, Su Tianji went silent for a moment: "..."

"Ahhh—!" She was driven nearly mad, almost wanting to shut down the stream!

"666"

"Master Assassin Elder Su."

"One-shot kill, invincible!"

"Awesome, awesome!"

The livestream room exploded with messages.

"No, why didn't what I just learned work?!" Su Tianji slapped her thigh and cried out.

The Templar calmly sheathed his sword.

You think you can show off your skills in front of me just by passing a beginner tutorial?

"...Thank you 'Song Qingfeng' for the 66 goose eggs, thank you 'Boss Fang' for the 99 goose eggs."

"Hehehe..."

Su Tianji: "That didn't count, that didn't count just now!"

"Ah... the mentor seems to be calling us to do the Leap of Faith, let's switch to another one!"

PS: The minions and bosses in the system version all possess combat skills such as counters; the higher the difficulty, the higher the combat skills, and their perception, observation, and other abilities will far exceed ordinary people.
