Chapter 5

After all, the loss of health points and the loss of health point maximum are entirely two different concepts. The former can be remedied by consuming a few bottles of health potions, while the latter... ahem, to put it in lofty and sophisticated terms of the xianxia genre, it is referred to as "injuring the essence"

Generally, they are mostly at level C, with a small number even at levels D or E. Higher ratings are rarely achieved, but it is not entirely impossible. The gunman’s expression stiffened as he spoke hesitantly

The arms of Uncle Fireball are still wrapped in bandages, and even though the data of the body has been quantified, the Apostle is ultimately still a reserve Apostle. The fact that the injury is healing quickly does not mean that one can ignore the issue of physical disability.

By the way, it seems you have been upgraded? After the gunman calmed down, he immediately recalled his original purpose

Uh? Excuse me for speaking out of turn, but is it common for your investors to have a quota of ten survival points

... ...

... ...

Due to the unexpected nature of the situation, coupled with Pei Chen's agility and strength having nearly doubled, he was unable to evade this world-class straight punch

Before returning to the Rog Camp, he decisively slowed down, vividly recalling the lesson from Uncle Fireball's previous vehicle. If he were to carelessly get shot and turned into a hedgehog, it would be quite amusing. His brilliant life had not even begun before it ended... The promised path of a formidable powerhouse was stillborn.

The one guarding the door is still that girl named Roger. She recognized Pei Chen at a glance and raised her hand to stop the actions of others. However, the next second, her surprised expression and question directly crushed the feelings of gratitude that Pei Chen had in his heart

Outside the camp, there is a cave in the wilderness where evil gathers, inhabited by dark creatures. You may go there. As long as you kill the corpses that ignite or eliminate the other monsters, you will earn my approval. I will recognize the most outstanding...

Since the Rog Camp is merely a beginner's map, there are no advanced potions available for purchase that allow for limb regeneration. Moreover, even if such potions were available, they would not be affordable for someone of Fireball Uncle's current impoverished status.

Although she felt that this group of people was there to take advantage of free food and drink, Katya still gracefully concealed her emotions and did not show the slightest hint of them

Yes... I am still alive...

No need, it's not something valuable; once seen, it loses its worth... Moreover, you newcomers haven't even passed the first trial task, yet you still carry the reserve prefix. Many functions are simply not unlocked due to lack of corresponding permissions... Your current survival points, aside from leveling up, are basically only useful for completing tasks.

He discovered that the shelter assigned to him had been used for raising cattle, the reason being that he had inexplicably disappeared for five days, and thus he was directly treated as a missing person

The enhancement of strength in infinite space is truly too inexpensive

Task evaluation? What settings?

Forget it, you can take a look when you have time. To get back to the point, I think you have great potential, so it might be worth making an initial investment...

Why is no one following the script

"But why are you back again? Didn't you go to Tristram?" Pei Chen asked with a hint of curiosity

Ahem, this is actually a beginner's guide compiled by some experienced individuals, which includes many insights and precautions regarding space... 10 survival points per book. It seems that he also feels a bit embarrassed by the title, and the gunman coughed lightly in an attempt to divert Pei Chen's attention

What should we do then

Unfortunately, the upgrade is insufficient. Looking at the upgrade requirements that have already increased to 800 survival points, Pei Chen feels a toothache.

"Because I think it is more likely that you will be killed before you grow up, it is better not to place such a big bet," the gunman said sullenly

I originally intended to save Kane and then leave together through the door... However, to my surprise, he ran off without a word, leaving me to bear the burden alone..." As he spoke, the gunman became agitated, his hands waving and making a whooshing sound.

From E level to S level, the higher the task evaluation, the better the rewards. A D level evaluation is the standard, which means no rewards or penalties. A C level evaluation grants an additional 6 free attribute points, a B level grants an additional 12 free attribute points, an A level grants 24 points, and an S level grants 36 points... Just think about it, if you could achieve an S level evaluation for every task, then every two tasks would be equivalent to the effect of other people leveling up by 5 levels.

That is essentially delivering someone's head over a thousand miles, isn't it

"It sounds quite good..." Touching his chin, Pei Chen nodded in agreement with this statement, "However, what is the task evaluation for an average person?"

It shouldn't be the case... That experienced individual mentioned that games and reality are different; unless the storyline characters intend to deliberately make things difficult for you, they will not issue tasks that exceed the limit... Uh, I mean, it should be the case.

A somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind, and Pei Chen's face darkened. This sentence...! ... feels strangely familiar!

Are you still alive

Generally speaking, the vast majority of the apostles have not undergone a change in mindset, which has resulted in some perishing directly in the trial tasks, while others have only managed to barely complete the main storyline tasks The gunman placed a book on the low table, gesturing for Pei Chen to take a look

"I can’t believe I was treated as a missing person..." Pei Chen covered his face

Fortunately, Kasha indeed had no intention of putting them in a difficult situation

Pei Chen felt as if a million alpacas were rushing past in a chaotic stampede in his mind

However, he clearly forgot one thing

Uh, how should I transfer that to you...?

What happened to the promise that the brave would return after defeating the monsters and be welcomed as heroes, living a life free of worries and shame? Why has it turned into such an unexpected development

Ahahaha... Pei Chen laughed a bit awkwardly

Gunman : `` ... ... ''

He did not mention what happened to that ruthless person, and Pei Chen wisely chose not to ask

You bastard, you strike so ruthlessly

Gunman: "Put away your extremely rude gaze!"

Damn it, I had to bear the entire burden of the monster alone, I almost kicked the bucket... Afterward, that old man gave me an additional task reward, which turned out to be just ten identification scrolls...

You, my friend... are truly exaggerated! The gunman squinted slightly, carefully scrutinizing the young man before him. Although he was merely a rookie at the age of twenty, at this moment, he exuded a sense of future legend in the gunman's eyes

Do not upgrade too quickly, otherwise the increasing difficulty of subsequent tasks may easily overwhelm you. It is said that there was a tough individual who reached level 4 in the novice trial scene, and then was thrown into the scene of "Song of Hell" for their first official task to face Alcatraz... The gunman shook his head and continued, "Therefore, you need to find ways to improve your task evaluation, or execute your personal main storyline tasks in advance; these can effectively reduce the evaluation of you by the Infinite Space."

"Don't mention it, I was completely taken advantage of..." As soon as this was said, a faint expression of classic sorrow immediately appeared on the gunman's face. Observing his melancholic demeanor, Pei Chen contemplated whether he should offer him a cigarette to match the mood.

Ahaha... Pei Chen did not know how to respond, and could only laugh it off perfunctorily

Turning around, the seasoned muscular gunman stood behind him with a look of surprise on his face. "No, that's not right, you seem to have gotten quite a bit stronger..." His expression was somewhat uncertain as he took a few steps forward, leaning in just a few centimeters from Pei Chen to scrutinize him closely

"On the Pitiful Nature of Infinite Space" ... As soon as Pei Chen caught sight of the book title, he was instantly filled with exasperation.

... ...

Indeed, it is a period that can make an ordinary person weep uncontrollably.

Oh? You brat... are you still alive

"Well, that's quite embarrassing..." With that, Pei Chen directly stored the strange book into his storage space, a move that made the gunman twitch at the corner of his eye

... ...

Pei Chen : `` ... ... ''

Pei Chen, who had no awareness of snatching others' tasks, was already on the way back. Looking at the survival points of 1478, he felt for the first time that his life was in his own hands. After much discussion, the main quest was considered completed

Rubbing the bruises at the corners of his eyes, the gunman wore a face full of melancholy

However, if both strength and physique reach 15 points, one can certainly participate in endurance events such as ultramarathons, as both physical stamina and the body's capacity to endure are significantly superior to those of an average person, enabling the body to sustain a relatively fast pace for an extended period of time

***

Of course, she herself scoffs at this notion, claiming to have come all the way from the distant East to challenge evil, despite not even having a profession

With a weak greeting to her, Pei Chen walked into the camp with a face full of entanglement

Greetings, adventurers from afar, and welcome to our glorious shelter. I understand that you have come specifically to challenge evil, giving us the opportunity to reclaim the homeland left by our ancestors. However, you must know that while Akara may be our spiritual leader, it is I who actually commands the Rogues in battle. If you wish to earn my approval, it will not suffice to simply slay a couple of monsters in the wilderness.

Could it be that I was really so weak before? Was I directly deemed to be doomed?

... ... deprive this task of 50% of the survival point rewards, and in the next task, forcibly increase the difficulty coefficient by one level, for example, if you were originally a one-star apostle, the Infinite Space will assign you a two-star task.

Dressed in leather armor and draped in a red cloak, Katya crossed her arms and spoke to several adventurers before her, who were said to have come from afar specifically to challenge evil

Feeling the cold wind around him, Pei Chen, who had just taken a step and covered four to five meters, suddenly realized that his previous physical condition was utterly inadequate. Although he had not yet reached the level of a complete recluse, he was the type who would struggle to run even a thousand meters.

How should I put this, it is a scoring system based on your task completion and the degree of plot interference, with six levels in total. You should know that the basic reward for each task is fixed, which consists of 1,000 survival points and 1 E-grade brilliant gem. The task evaluation, however, is considered an additional reward. The gunman took a while to organize his thoughts before speaking.

"What happened?" Pei Chen asked upon seeing this, and he also lowered his head to look at himself, finding everything quite normal, except for a few traces of blood and dirt...

Suddenly confronted with that close-up view of the exceptionally terrifying muscular contours of a large face, which made one feel a tightening sensation, Pei Chen instinctively swung his fist to strike again

Haha, I apologize, I apologize..." With an awkward smile of apology, Pei Chen's skin was still not thick enough to strike someone twice without changing his expression. However, the gunman earned a reputation in his heart as a gentle and easy-going person, after all, not everyone could remain calm after being hit twice.

The experience points for leveling up have doubled! Who on earth came up with such a frustrating setting

... ...

Cough, "Pei Chen glanced over without showing any emotion, "So, what is the E-level evaluation?"

... ...

Is she trying to make us fight the Blood Ravens? Damn it, how is that even possible?" A high school student, who was aware of the plot, anxiously spoke to the white-collar worker from behind the crowd

Agility reaching 10 points is certainly not as exaggerated as participating in the Olympics, but it is guaranteed to be much faster than the average person. Both the speed of neural response and the basic movement speed are determined by this attribute.

Pei Chen scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I completed two side quests, so I leveled up twice"
