Speaking of stats, after killing the Mouse Soldiers, Lu Yuelan had received experience points. She wondered whether her attribute values had changed significantly by now.
Thinking of this, she directly opened her status panel to check.
【Name: Lu Yuelan】
【Level: 0 (600/100)】
【Stamina: 4】 (Your physical condition is a bit poor, you need to work harder.)
【Strength: 1】 (What can you even do with this level of strength? You can’t even hold a small knife steadily.)
【Agility: 2】 (Even a turtle here can run faster than you.)
【Charm: MAX】 (A stunning beauty, slurp slurp, so breathtaking that fish sink and birds fall, the moon hides and flowers shy away. Want to stick close.)
【Mana: 10】 (Above-average among humans, but low-tier among other lifeforms.)
【Physique: 3】 (Beautiful big sister, your physique is very poor. You need more training. A fragile, delicate beauty like a willow in the wind is not popular in a highway survival game.)
【Luck: 100 / -100】 (Haha, fortune and misfortune come together. It all depends on your ability, how exciting it gets. Anyway, I won’t tell you… someone has already made a move on you~)
【Stamina: 1 / 100】 (You’re exhausted, beautiful big sister. Please rest. Don’t faint~)
【HP: 88 / 100】 (Healthy. Try not to drop below the passing line. Keep killing monsters!)
【Hunger: 11 / 100】 (After such a long fight, you’re almost starving unconscious. Hurry and feed yourself, don’t turn into a “white bone demon” from hunger.)
【Mental State: 8 / 100】 (Beautiful big sister got scared. Hug hug, stay close, giving you some strength.)
Extra Attributes: 0
(Extra attributes are formed by 10 points from base attributes and 10 points from each profession attribute gained per level. Beautiful big sister, do you want to level up!)
“Level up.”
Lu Yuelan had long been displeased with her pitiful attribute values. Her dangerously low stamina, hunger, and mental state were all warning her how dangerous that battle had just been.
As someone practically useless in combat, even with a high-level weapon she could still be killed by a single small rat. She absolutely needed to level up and kill more monsters.
After Lu Yuelan leveled up, her stamina, HP, hunger, and mental limits all increased to 1000, and were fully restored to maximum. She also gained an additional 30 attribute points.
A new system message appeared, but Lu Yuelan thought that since the energy stone powering her level-9 all-purpose protective shield was still sufficient, she would take the risk and push herself. She planned to raise her useless stat values so she wouldn’t be so fragile that even a low-level Mouse Soldier could cripple her. So she ignored the flashing message panel and immediately began her monster-slaying journey.
“Put all 30 attribute points into Strength.”
She prioritized increasing her attributes to boost combat power. With the level-9 all-purpose protective shield, she didn’t need to dodge or defend, so she simply focused on Strength to increase her damage output and started a full-scale killing spree, completely forgetting that someone was still waiting for her reply.
“Xiao Ying, did you do something wrong somewhere? Why hasn’t that little girl come to chat with you?”
“Maybe she’s busy with something else and didn’t see it?”
“What could she possibly be busy with at night? Monster attack power increases significantly at night. Although drop rewards are richer, you still need to be alive to enjoy them. Even Li Ruifeng, the king of special forces, was almost injured by a soldier-level monster, let alone ordinary people. And this is still the newbie protection period, when monster strength is suppressed.”
“I’m not sure. Maybe she didn’t travel much during the day, so she’s rushing to complete her quota at night.”
“That girl is also a bit scatterbrained. That little boy can finish his tasks, but she insists on going out at night, the most dangerous time when monsters appear. I just hope she’s alright. Those special food items she has are very important to the country.”
“How’s the research on monster levels going?”
“That’s right, it’s already been researched. With additional information from the system, monster/beastman ranks are, from lowest to highest: Slave, Servant, Soldier, Knight, Noble, General, King, and Emperor. Each stage is further divided into four levels: low, mid, high, and peak. These basically correspond to the box colors: black, white, yellow, green, blue, purple, red, and gold.”
“Monster?? Beastman??”
“It might be a classification of species from an alien world. It’s possible that beastmen may have a relatively friendly attitude toward humans later on, while monsters are like the ones that emerge from the boxes, naturally bloodthirsty, treating humans as food.”
……
Ming Tianying and Professor Meng’s conversation was unknown to Lu Yuelan, who was fully focused on hunting monsters and had no “penetrating vision” to perceive it.
She discovered that simply increasing Strength alone did not improve her kill speed much.
Monsters spawned from green boxes were at Knight level, far stronger than Soldier-level monsters. Lu Yuelan often needed half an hour to kill one Knight-level monster. Her own stamina stat was too low, so after each battle she would end up practically crippled, needing an hour of rest just to recover.
Maximum stamina was tied to level, while stamina consumption rate was related to endurance. This was data she had confirmed after three major battles.
Thus, after killing three Knight-level monsters and accumulating enough experience to reach level 2, Lu Yuelan directly leveled up and distributed her extra attribute points into Strength, Agility, and Endurance.
The increase in Agility was because Lu Yuelan felt her reactions were too slow and she couldn’t achieve one-hit kills, so she tentatively added points to test the effect.
In subsequent battles, her judgment proved correct. After increasing Agility and Endurance by 10 points each, her combat progress sped up, and each fight was no longer as exhausting.
After opening all ten remaining boxes and killing four more Knight-level monsters, Lu Yuelan first checked her personal attribute panel.
【Name: Lu Yuelan】
【Level: 2 (3400/10000)】
【Endurance: 4】 (Your physical condition is still poor, you need to work harder.)
【Strength: 41】 (You can now compare to a human strongman.)
【Agility: 12】 (Still slower than a turtle, but already at the speed of an average person.)
【Charm: MAX】 (A stunning beauty, slurp slurp, so breathtaking that fish sink and birds fall, the moon hides and flowers shy away. Want to stick close.)
【Mana: 10】 (Above-average among humans, but low-tier among other lifeforms.)
【Physique: 13】 (Beautiful big sister, your physique is still not good. You’re very prone to accidents and need more training. This system doesn’t like overly weak beauties.)
【Luck: 100 / -100】 (Haha, fortune and misfortune come together. It all depends on your ability, how exciting it gets. Anyway, I won’t tell you… someone has already made a move on you~)
【Stamina: 3 / 10000】 (You’re exhausted, beautiful big sister. Please pay attention to rest. Don’t faint~)
【HP: 880 / 10000】 (Very healthy. Try not to drop below the passing line. Keep killing monsters!)
【Hunger: 11 / 10000】 (After such a long fight, you’re almost starving unconscious. Hurry and replenish your “five internal organs temple”, don’t starve yourself into a White Bone Demon.)
【Mental: 78 / 10000】 (Beautiful big sister is tired. Hug hug, stay close, giving you some strength.)
Extra Attributes: 0 (Base 10 + “Childcare Instructor” 10 + “Waste Recycler” 10)
Her attribute values had undergone earth-shaking changes. Lu Yuelan satisfiedly closed her status panel, once again ignoring the system’s message notifications.
