Chapter 38: Dark Vision and Danger Sense
Chapter 38: Dark Vision and Danger Sense
Rain couldn't help but feel elated as he carefully examined the system's description. He realized that the only condition he didn't meet was in the area of archery.
Over the past few days, although the Squire Training had included archery practice during the daytime, Rain's archery skills remained at the basic level of Archery lv1 (12/100) due to his lack of skill points.
To advance to lv2, he would need to put in at least two to three months of dedicated effort.
After a mere second of contemplation, Rain decided to allocate some skill points to Basic Archery.
These skill points were originally intended for core skills like Smith's Strength or Mammoth Breath Technique, but regardless of the choice, the benefits were likely to be less significant than those gained from a class change.
The reason was simple: when Rain advanced from Blacksmith Apprentice to Blacksmith, he not only gained an increase in his Strength attribute but also acquired core skills.
Therefore, it was reasonable to speculate that the class change from Militia to Night Watch would likely bring about attribute improvements and possibly new core skills! Perhaps it would lead to a qualitative change for him. If that savage werewolf from earlier were to return for a surprise attack, Rain's current strength would be no match for it.
Whether it was skill points, attribute points, or other class panels, as long as one was alive, there would always be opportunities in the future.

This indicated that the passive skill, Dark Vision, couldn't be further enhanced through skill point allocation.
Given this, it seemed that the savage werewolf hadn't appeared in Flashing Gold Town or the Habsburg Manor last night.
Two new icons lit up at the edges of their frames, and Rain focused his attention on the eye-shaped icon. Instantly, a line of small text appeared below the icon.
【Successfully changed class to Night Watch! Gain 1 Strength, 1 Agility, and 1 Mental! Obtain the core skills of the Night Watch: Danger Sense lv1 (Passive) and Dark Vision (Passive).】
Previously, when advancing from Blacksmith Apprentice to Blacksmith, a specific item was required—the Blacksmith's Hammer.
If Dark Vision granted Rain night vision capabilities comparable to a night vision device, then Danger Sense provided him with an animal-like intuition for sensing danger.
Additionally, Rain immediately noticed that there was no experience bar below this icon.
【Core Skill: Dark Vision (Passive)】
May it bring pleasant surprises! 【Do you wish to change class from Militia to Night Watch?】
This allowed Rain to fight at night as if he were equipped with a night vision device, and its usefulness was self-evident!
"Oh, nothing much. I just remembered something," Rain quickly responded, realizing that he had momentarily been distracted by the newly appeared Night Watch panel.
【Dark Vision (Passive): As Night Watch members often operate in the dark, your vision in darkness is comparable to that of nocturnal animals.】
For instance, in that dark street corner, a rat had just emerged from its hole and was sniffing around for food. A cockroach had just crawled into the shadowed trash pile. Rain instantly understood the importance of this passive ability.
(Note: The acuity of Danger Sense is related to the host's Mental attribute. The stronger the Mental power, the sharper the sense of danger.) After a moment's thought, Rain felt that this core skill was the most significant gain of the night.
【Note: After changing class to Night Watch, the Militia panel will be replaced.】
Previously, Rain had a question: Was the only advancement after the Militia panel the Squire Knight?
Just as Rain and the others were about to conclude their night patrol and return to rest, a messenger rushed over to inform them to gather at the entrance of the administration hall. Sheriff Hamilton himself would lead a joint force from the Habsburg Manor into the Nightsong Forest to hunt down the monster.
Dark Vision (Passive) Effect: Your vision in no-light or low-light environments is significantly enhanced, almost on par with nocturnal animals.
But this time, the requirement for the Night Watchman class change was to refill the lantern with oil. This left Rain perplexed, unable to fathom the trigger conditions for this class change or promotion.
For now, completing the class change was the top priority.
After a moment's thought, Rain decided to go and witness it for himself.
Below the panel title, in addition to the existing icons like Mammoth Breath Technique and Bear Swordsmanship, two new icons appeared.
Shaking his head, Rain decided to leave this question for later.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar, the first to publish this novel.
"Okay."
Rain didn't hesitate and immediately chose yes.
In this regard, Rain believed it applied to himself as well, especially before he became strong enough.
[Ding! Class Change Successful!]
As Rain walked forward, he examined the effect of the second core skill.
[Danger Sense lv1 (Passive): Due to the Night Watch's years of guarding humans in the darkness, your perception of danger is extraordinary.]
Why not change to Squire Knight? Because of the time constraint, and life is precious! The Night Watch, a clearly more powerful combat profession, is the best choice.
It was only because he hadn't met the specific trigger conditions.
After reading the skill description, Rain looked around, and indeed, everything felt different. This nocturnal environment gave Rain a strange sense of familiarity. At the same time, he now looked at the dark areas beyond the reach of the streetlights, places he couldn't see clearly before.
Huh! Three attributes were added, and both core skills were passive? This surprised Rain! The 'Militia' on the original Militia panel had disappeared, replaced by the three large characters 'Night Watchman'.
"Rain? What's wrong?" The Night Watch elite beside him saw Rain suddenly freeze and asked.
In a certain sense, the importance of this ability could be ranked first.
In this extraordinary world, uncontrollable events were not uncommon, like the rampaging werewolf incident Rain had just encountered.
Now, it seemed otherwise.
Danger Sense lv1 (Passive) Effect: Your perception of surrounding dangers is slightly enhanced.
But now, the feeling it gave him was similar to the visibility at dusk, although dim, Rain could see very clearly.
Without the ability to confront it head-on, being able to detect and avoid danger beforehand was the survival rule for most creatures.
Rain understood this very well.
Rain and several Night Watch elites patrolled cautiously throughout the night, until dawn, without finding any trace of the rampaging werewolf or hearing any distress signals from other Night Watchmen.
[Core Skill: Danger Sense lv1 (Passive)]
"Since we've chosen, let's continue forward," the Night Watch elite called out.
Although Rain didn't know who led the Habsburg Manor, it was likely Sir Lloyd, a Knight as strong as Sheriff Hamilton, or Instructor Perez.
With several such Knight-level powerhouses leading, along with numerous Night Watch elites and manor guards, Rain felt the risks were manageable.
Most importantly, Rain's strength had increased after changing to the Night Watchman class, and he was eager to see what a real power struggle looked like.
Additionally, although the deceased servants weren't close to him, their deaths still left Rain feeling heavy-hearted. After all, they had lived and trained together, eating and training side by side, and now they were gone in an instant.
If safety was assured, he wouldn't mind giving that monster a good beating!
