2025-08-06 20:57:49Veridian did not attack immediately.
The absolute calm forged by countless demands of clients in his previous life allowed him to instantly suppress that primal hunting instinct originating from his bloodline.
The richer the profit, the more meticulous the plan needed to be, down to the finest details.
He moved like a ghost melting into the darkness, silently and unnoticeably, his vampiric super senses pushed to their absolute peak.
The giant crocodile in the sewer before him was being disassembled and analyzed bit by bit in his vision, completely dataized.
【Target: Sin Convergence Cluster (Elite)】
【Length: Approximately 7 meters】
【Main Attack Methods: Frontal Bite, Tail Swipe Heavy Hit, Death Roll】
【Mobile Features: Rushing forward in a straight line is fierce, turning is extremely slow】
【Weaknesses: Eyes, soft abdomen】
His gaze swept past the giant crocodile's massive mouth, which could easily crush steel, and finally settled on the intricate network of pipes and the towering stone pillars surrounding them.
A cold and cruel arc rose silently on Veridian's lips.
This is not an open swamp.
This is the "training ground" tailor-made for him!
The plan took shape in zero point one second.
In the next moment, he emerged from the shadow of the stone pillar, picked up a human-head-sized piece of rubble with a casual hand, and hurled it with all his might at the hideous head of the giant crocodile!
*Bang!*
The stone struck the edge of the giant crocodile's eye socket with precision, not with great force, but with extreme insult.
*Roar—!!*
The fury ignited by the provocation of lower creatures instantly lit the century-old cruelty accumulated within the monster's body.
Gulp—!
The massive body of the giant crocodile, like an out-of-control heavy truck, churned through the pool of dirty water, charging fiercely toward Verdian!
Foul wind hit the face!
Three meters, two meters, one meter!
Just as the giant crocodile's gaping maw was about to close, Verdian suddenly kicked his feet against the slippery wall, his body defying the laws of physics as it shot sideways, darting like lightning into a narrow pipe beside him.
Kaboom!!
The crocodile's head slammed into the hard pipe mouth, and the gravel splashed and made a deafening loud noise.
Just at that moment, a line of faint blue text quietly appeared.
[Ding! You have avoided a fatal attack by utilizing the environment, passive skill [Environmental Utilization] has been unlocked, current proficiency 1/100.]
Success!
Veridian's expression remained completely unchanged as he slipped out from the other end of the pipe like the most slippery fish, moving around to behind the giant crocodile.
However, just as he was about to try his old trick, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
The giant crocodile did not attempt to turn around; instead, that thick tail like a steel whip, with a sharp whistle tearing through the air, fiercely retracted backward!
Too fast! It completely exceeded his prediction!
"Bang—"!
The heavy tail whip landed solidly on his chest, and Veridian flew out like a rag bag, crashing hard against the distant wall before sliding to the ground.
【Health: 9/15】
Intense pain spread throughout his limbs, as if his ribs had cracked. But at the very moment the pain reached its peak, a new system prompt popped up, like a shot of the most potent stimulant, bursting forth fiercely!
【Ding! You have taken bludgeoning damage, passive skill [Pain Resistance] has been unlocked, current proficiency 1/100.】
“Puff…”
Veridian suddenly coughed up a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood.
He lifted his head, looking at the giant crocodile that was struggling to pull its head out of the pipe. The twisted expression on his face from the intense pain slowly gave way to a more intense, more morbid delight.
So that’s how it is… It can be like this!
A brand-new, more efficient and crazy "score grinding" method suddenly burst into his mind!
"Hey, ugly thing."
Veridian staggered to his feet again, provoking with words once more.
"Hoo!"
The giant crocodile roared and charged again.
This time, Verdian skillfully ducked into the pipe, circled to its back, and at the moment the giant tail swept forward, he didn’t just dodge; instead, he took a deep breath, crossed his arms, and actively moved forward!
He forcefully took the blow!
“Bang!”
【Health: 8/15】
【Ding! [Combat] Skill +1, Current Skill: 2/100.】
Unparalleled pleasure, instantly overwhelming the body's pain!
That's the feeling!
Provocation, temptation, flanking, eating through damage……
What should have been a life-or-death struggle was brutally twisted by him into a cold and efficient skill level harvesting!
Every attack from the giant crocodile became a wildly jumping number on his interface. Every roar of its became a beautiful accompaniment on his path to strength.
“Bang!”
【Health: 7/15】
【Ding! [Combat] Skill +1!】
【Ding! [Tough Skin] Skill +1!】
“Bang!”
【Health: 6/15】
【Ding! [Combat] Skill +1!】
【Ding! [Tolerance to Pain] Skill +1!】
When health drops below 5 points, Verdian will calmly pause this "game," vanishing into the darkness like a ghost, rushing to the rat corpse in the corner, sipping its insignificant blood to bring the health bar back to a safe line, before rejoining the next round of "training."
He danced a self-destructive waltz with that furious beast, like an tireless madman on this filthy stage.
Time slipped away in the extreme pain and extreme joy.
The giant crocodile's movements visibly slowed down, his roars turning from cruel to confused and exhausted.
And Veridian, his eyes are getting brighter and crazier!
The time has come.
He looked at the gasping behemoth, the "game" in his eyes completely gone, replaced by the cold focus of a harvester inspecting the final product of his project.
He lured the giant crocodile into one last charge.
Kaboom!
The crocodile's head slammed hard against a thicker stone pillar, emitting a painful wail. Its body, driven by immense inertia, tipped over, revealing the soft, unattacked grayish-white belly.
It is now!
Veridian's figure shot forth like a black arrow released from a bow, all power, speed, and the ferocity honed through this mad training, converging at one point!
Target, the murky right eye of the giant crocodile, slightly opened in pain!
“Puff!”
His sharp claws, enhanced by all the proficiency he'd leveled up during this time, struck precisely and cruelly, deeply piercing the crocodile's eye socket, going all the way to his wrist!
"Roar——!!!"
A previously unimaginable scream echoed through the entire sewer system.
【Ding! Hit a vital point! Trigger critical damage!】
【Ding! [Claw Attack] Proficiency +10!】
Veridian did not draw his sword; his other hand gripped the giant crocodile's eye sockets tightly, his body sinking, his mouth opening, his sharp fangs fiercely piercing the softest major artery at the base of the giant crocodile's neck!
"Gurgle! Gurgle!"
A surge of energy, far more scorching, corrupt, and overwhelming than that of the knight's blood, erupted like a volcanic explosion, pouring violently into his throat!
The dark blue panel before his eyes was instantly completely submerged by a waterfall of data!
【Warning! You are sucking the blood of the "Guilty Aggregate"! The degree of crime has increased sharply!】
【The "Sin Contamination" rule at the bottom of the world has been triggered! You have gained a massive amount of additional proficiency!】
【[Holy Light Resistance] Proficiency +200! Current: 258/300!】
【[Resilient Skin] Proficiency +300! Current: 351/400!】
【[High Tolerance] Proficiency +300! Current: 302/400!】
【[Beginner Bite] Skill Level +100!】
【[Blood Draw] Skill Level +150!】
【[Environmental Utilization] Skill Level +100!】
【Your maximum health has increased by 5!】
【Your Constitution Permanently +0.5!】
【Your Strength Permanently +0.3!】
Veridian's body trembled violently, an ultimate euphoria as if being swept away by an ocean of power! He could clearly feel his skin, muscles, and bones reinforcing and reorganizing at an incredible speed!
The struggle of the giant crocodile grew weaker and weaker, eventually transforming into a shriveled, massive shell, crashing to the ground.
Veridian released his mouth and slowly straightened up his body, feeling the brand new power surging endlessly within him.
Just then, a line of unprecedented prompt, rendered in dazzling golden light to an extreme degree, exploded before his eyes, occupying the very center of his vision!
[Ding! Detected that the skill [Tough Skin] proficiency has broken the current level cap under the infusion of massive experience!]
[[Tough Skin] proficiency has reached MAX!]
【Conditions met, beginning the transformation of innate talent...】

She stuck out her pink tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, even though there were no traces of blood, "That 'snack' tasted quite good, though a bit stale. The meat was a bit tough, and it grated my teeth when I chewed."She hopped over to Verdian, curiously examining the bottles and jars scattered throughout the room. Her small nose twitched continuously."What are all these? They smell even sweeter than the 'snack' we had just now!""These," Verdian kept his excitement in check,but his voice remained elegant and steady, "are the top 'seas

Absolutely! The 'Butcher' U-bone is a madman, he can stew the wailing souls and flesh of sinners into a paste-like 'essence'!""Only a small piece can spawn a monster! His ten years of accumulation are enough to make you the king of the entire underworld!"The man's voice was full of temptation.However, the fervor on Veridian's face instantly cooled, turning into an impenetrable indifference.His experience in the previous life, being treated like a dog by the client, told him that the bigger the promise, the deeper the trap.He no longer paid attention to the noise behind the wall, but like a gecko, silently adhered to the cold, damp stone wall.Ears pressed against the stone.【Di
