Assassin at Range: The Sniper's Lethal Power-Chapter 66 - : You Can’t Even Buy This Privilege

Having Blackshade power-level them was absolutely exhilarating.

But Drake was still a little uneasy.

"Are we slowing down your leveling?"

He quickly added, "That Ivan guy… he’s already Level 10. Who knows? He might overtake you soon."

Drake’s team was now Level 6.

With their new equipment, grinding wild boars would be a breeze.

Spending $2 million to jump two levels was worth every penny.

But still, Blackshade should not be overtaken.

Tristan casually responded, "Don’t worry. I know a great leveling spot. I’ll head there shortly."

For Tristan, a little delay didn’t matter.

Besides, boosting Drake’s team wasn’t entirely useless.

The $2 million was nice, but even more importantly—

Just from killing these wolves, he had already gained three more evolution points.

Including what he had before, that brought his total to six.

Which meant—

By the time he finished boosting them, he’d probably gain four or five more points.

And once he reached sixteen, he could evolve Shadow Stealth to Gold Grade.

Additionally, he was still getting experience.

Sure, the EXP was lower, but it’s not like he was getting nothing.

Most importantly—

He needed Drake to do something for him.

And for that, Drake had to reach Level 10 and enter the main city.

With that in mind, Tristan decided to give him a little heads-up.

"Any updates on the Guild Token?"

Drake looked a little guilty and replied, "I’ve been gathering intel and had people in other newbie villages help with the search… but so far, nothing."

Tristan nodded, "That’s expected. Guild Tokens are rare drops from bosses. It’ll take time."

That was true.

But Drake still felt bad.

It was rare for Blackshade to ask him for something, and yet—

They had nothing to show for it.

Then, Cleric Sophie suddenly asked, "Are you planning to start your own guild?"

Tristan smirked slightly but didn’t give a straight answer.

"Not sure yet."

That was honest.

First, he had no interest in guild management.

Second, he was progressing too fast.

Without S-tier talents, no one could keep up with him.

And in ExoGenesis, S-tier talents were incredibly rare.

But considering the future world fusion, a guild might become necessary.

He’d start keeping an eye out for potential recruits.

He remembered quite a few top-tier players from his past life.

Maybe… some of them would be worth recruiting.

Shaking off the thought, Tristan spoke again.

"Just keep an eye on it. Once you hit the main city, post a notice on the bulletin board. Make sure people know you’re buying a Guild Token."

Then he added—

"By the way, any news from Shadow Legion?"

Drake mentally noted that down, then sighed.

"Not gonna lie, IFA and Shadow Legion are longtime rivals. The moment DarkSaber heard I was looking for a Guild Token, he immediately announced he’d pay double."

"If one actually drops, it won’t be easy to secure."

Tristan thought for a moment and said, "Do your best. IFA is big enough that even if you’re not the first guild, you’ll still attract plenty of players."

DarkSaber had already taken the bait.

Now, it was just a waiting game.

Drake stood a little straighter.

IFA had earned Blackshade’s approval.

This was a great honor.

More Wolves, Smarter Tactics

As they continued grinding, they moved to a new area.

This time—

The wolves got even smarter.

Instead of attacking from just two directions, they came from three.

Drake blinked. "Do these wolves have a freaking strategist?! They’re literally running real battlefield tactics now?!"

Sophie suggested, "You handle the two sides, we’ll hold off the front."

Earlier, when wolves attacked from two directions, Tristan had used two ranged skills to wipe them out.

But based on Sophie’s calculations, he probably didn’t have another ranged skill left.

While waiting for his cooldowns, their team could cover the front.

The Assassin and Archer gripped their weapons tightly.

This was their chance to shine.

They had to prove themselves in front of the legendary Blackshade!

…

But before they could even take a step forward, Tristan waved them off.

"I got this."

Huh?

Drake blinked. "You sure?"

Tristan nodded calmly. "Three-way attack? That’s nothing."

"Even a four-sided attack wouldn’t make a difference."

Before anyone could react—

Shadow Dagger!

Rain of Corruption!

Two wolves died instantly, triggering Toxic Blood Plague.

The plague began spreading, infecting dozens more.

At the same time—

The wolves charging from the front were still advancing.

So—

Tristan activated Frenzied Dash.

With two blades spinning like a whirlwind, he cut down the oncoming wolves effortlessly.

With his current stats, his Twin Blades effect dealt 1,500 damage per hit.

Instant kill.

And just like that—

The entire wolf pack was wiped out.

Drake’s team just stood there.

Then, a golden light flashed across their bodies.

Level up.

Meanwhile, Tristan checked his gains.

He had just earned two more evolution points.

His EXP bar had also increased.

The only downside?

After killing hundreds of wolves, the loot was trash.

A few Common Grade items, nothing special.

Tristan wasn’t interested—so he just sold them to Drake’s team for 500 gold apiece.

Drake grumbled.

"I’ve played a lot of games, but I’ve never seen a drop rate this bad."

Tristan shrugged.

"You’ll get used to it."

He had just wiped out an entire goblin nest—two to three hundred goblins—and still got nothing worthwhile.

ExoGenesis was just that stingy.

Final Gains and Future Plans

After another 30 minutes, Tristan noticed something strange.

The wolves were thinning out.

Apparently, they had killed too many.

By the time the one-hour session ended, Drake’s team was Level 8, halfway to 9.

Meanwhile, Tristan had reached 10 evolution points.

His EXP bar was now one-third full.

And the random gear drops?

After selling them to Drake, he made another $20,000.

Drake’s team was completely geared up now.

Sure, it was just Common Grade equipment, but—

Stats were stats.

Their overall combat power had doubled.

If they went back to fight wild boars, they could slaughter them in seconds.

Drake sighed, "Blackshade, you just saved us an entire day of grinding."

Sophie did some quick calculations and added, "Not just a day. We’ll hit Level 10 in just three more hours."

Drake nodded, deeply grateful.

Sure, he had paid $2 million for this power-leveling session—

But even if others wanted to spend that money, they wouldn’t get the chance.

Because Blackshade only carried them.

And no one else.
