Chapter 3

There is no need to worry about it; these monsters are so fierce that they are simply beyond the capability of any human to confront. If he chooses to leave the team and act independently, who can be blamed for that?

Pei Chen discovered some good news and some bad news

Casually reigniting the extinguished torch, Pei Chen looked around and found it to be very clean, without a single monster.

It is a pity that I have not mastered any skills! Ideally, it would be a psychic ability or some form of magic. Looking at the 2 unused potential points, Pei Chen feels an inexplicable sense of heartache; it is truly a waste. Potential that does not transform into strength is ultimately just potential.

Infinite space can still be considered user-friendly. Generally speaking, side quests do not need to be accepted; as long as you meet the conditions to complete the task, rewards will naturally be granted to you.

After blinking my eyes, my vision seemed to become significantly clearer in an instant. Compared to other sensory perceptions, this change is the most pronounced, akin to the feeling of transitioning from standard definition to high definition.

After suffering heavy casualties several times, the Rogues have also become more adept; they no longer come to raid, but instead suppress within a manageable range, while casually issuing tasks to passing adventurers.

... ...

Strength 8, Agility 9, Constitution and Perception both 7, Intelligence and Spirit remain unchanged

Secondly, strength needs to be increased to 8 points in order to fully unleash the power of the bow and arrow, thus requiring the allocation of 4 points

I said, why don't we go back first and prepare more thoroughly before coming again

The high school student weakly suggested

Pei Chencai completed the allocation of points and confirmed it, and in the next moment, he felt a significant increase in his strength

Suddenly realizing that his thoughts were somewhat scattered, Pei Chen quickly shook his head, took out the torch he had prepared earlier, lit it, and cautiously held it up as he entered the dark cave

The eager teammate rushed forward, ready to deliver a decisive blow, only to be stunned by the enemy's "ranged attack".

I can't believe it! I can really feel it...

This has shrunk significantly!

Indeed, it is double the experience

Don't be foolish, this is not a map of the level of a demon king's castle, it's just the first map outside the novice village, at most it holds the same status as the Ten-Mile Slope in the world of Xianjian... It's a pity that Pei Chen will never become a sword god, with only ten days, even if he works himself to the bone, he won't level up much.

One side can endlessly produce troops, while the other side, having lost a few people, must wait at least ten to twenty years...! ... It's not just that they can't afford to be hurt; it's simply outrageous!

... ...

Or it can be said that it is the default state of acceptance

In the wilderness, there are hard-haired mice, zombies, and the Abyssal Demons everywhere, making it quite challenging to avoid them... Pei Chen is particularly interested in the Abyssal Demon Sorcerers, who can continuously resurrect, as they may serve as a machine for endlessly spawning monsters

The good news is that he has leveled up, and it seems that with each level increase, he can receive a reward of 10 free attribute points and 1 potential point.

Just when Pei Chen was getting annoyed from constantly nailing the mouse, he finally saw the second type of monster

Whenever he passed by a relatively intact torch, Pei Chen would unhesitatingly ignite it with his own torch to enhance his visibility

The task rewards are quite good, and they are trustworthy; as long as you return alive, they will definitely give you...

This is reality, different from the game. After murmuring this in a low voice, Pei Chen directly drew his bow and aimed at a dark shadow.

The kill notification sounded, and he took a few steps back to avoid the splattering blood. Pei Chen realized that he had gained 7 survival points, which was equivalent to the value of the unupgraded hard-haired rat.

The arrow swiftly traced a slight arc before embedding itself in the shadows

Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Pei Chen caught a whiff of... the smell of decay, which was not strong.

This thing is even worse than a hard-haired mouse! With a disdainful curl of his lip, Pei Chen observed the other person's stiff movements, hesitated for a moment with the book, and then decisively grasped the short staff and advanced to deliver a sharp blow to the head

Especially in this cave, such a confined space, at least when Pei Chen was in the wild before, he could see insects swarming around the decaying corpses, but the one before him seemed too clean

Zombie

However, that mercury ... ...

I just don't know when I will enter a world similar to "Resident Evil," "Left 4 Dead," or "School Days Apocalypse." Even the smallest mosquito is still meat; when the quantity increases, its value naturally rises.

Biological Level: 1 (0 / 200)

However, games and reality are ultimately different. If one were to encounter a Fallen Sorcerer and a large group of Fallen Warriors... it would be an achievement in itself for Pei Chen to think he could escape, let alone farm monsters.

However, the time is indeed too short, and Pei Chen is also uncertain whether it is an illusion

There are still 10 free attribute points. Considering the tasks to be undertaken shortly, Pei Chen decisively invested 3 points into perception, bringing it to a total of 10 points. Perception encompasses the five senses and six forms of awareness, which means it includes vision, smell, hearing, and even intuition, among others. A value of 10 points is, from a data perspective, twice the standard of an ordinary human... Moreover, physical fitness is not a simple calculation of one plus one equals two.

Upon seeing that the required survival points to level up had directly doubled to 400, Pei Chen finally extinguished his ambition to level up by defeating monsters—unless it was an elite monster or a lord monster, relying on the sheer number of monsters defeated to level up was simply too disheartening.

10 free attribute points can be allocated to the six basic qualities according to one's own wishes

The feeling of witnessing one's own character gradually becoming stronger is truly beyond praise

Who on earth can tell me why that thing can still shoot spikes

Agility increases by 3 points, Constitution increases by 2 points, and the remaining 1 point is added to Perception.

Wow! Indeed, mental strength enhances perception... In an instant, it felt as if the body could no longer contain the more powerful spirit, as if the soul had left the body. In a very short time, Pei Chen actually achieved a comprehensive 360-degree visual experience.

Like outside the cave, there are also some places inside with torches, seemingly left by those rogues who had raided this lair of dark creatures multiple times. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, they failed.

Since someone has spoken up, everyone collectively retreated with a strong sense of Chinese spirit

In the previous shed, Pei Chen spent more than half an hour using the method of flying kites to successfully overturn a nest of more than twenty hard-haired mice, smoothly advancing to level 2, and finally arriving at the evil cave

First of all, intelligence and mental attributes, such as those possessed by sorcerers or mental-type practitioners, are currently not very useful for me, so I will exclude them

With the short staff secured at his waist and the bow carefully held, the arrows nocked and ready to be released, Pei Chen began to delve deeper into the evil cave.

The biological level of Reserve Apostle No. 1065 has been raised by 1 level, granting 10 free attribute points and 1 potential point

Close to one hour later

After the sweep, at most a month and a half will pass, and the place where evil converges will inevitably give rise to new darkness, not much different from bacteria... Moreover, Rogues are no different from ordinary humans; both require sexual reproduction and a gestation period of ten months

Next, he added 1 point to agility and 2 points to strength, causing both attributes to exceed 10 points. The remaining 4 points were all allocated to spirit.

... ...

... ...

Next, focus on eliminating zombies

It makes sense what you said, let's go back first... such matters cannot be rushed...

As for the potential points, Pei Chen has not yet discovered how to use them. The Infinite Space only provided a simple hint, which roughly means that potential points are essential hard currency for learning and even enhancing skills. Only those who possess them can better transcend the ordinary.

After all, even a perception level of 10 merely allowed Pei Chen to barely see in the dark, falling far short of the dark vision capabilities of those from Dior, let alone skills like thermal vision.

What? Are you saying it is too casual?

The bad news is that the experience required after the upgrade, oh no, has doubled in survival points, and also, due to the increase in level, the experience gained from killing monsters has decreased—each hard-haired mouse now only gives 3 survival points...

With almost effortless ease, the bow was drawn fully; enemies that would originally require two or three arrows to be killed could now be completely pinned down with just one arrow. This is a visibly apparent enhancement in combat capability

Valuable! This opponent is worth eliminating

This is also easy to understand; in this world where darkness and evil become a true nightmare, bacteria and fungi truly have little space for survival. Therefore, the decay of corpses, for instance, is simply too slow and can be better described as weathering

Due to the frequent recycling, the consumption of arrows was not significant. After Pei Chen defeated the last monster within his line of sight, he put down his bow and arrow, and then eagerly began the most irresistible task—distributing points

No wonder the shooter said "level up by one or two levels"; indeed, after leveling up by one or two levels, the ordinary apostles become powerless in the subsequent stages. Moreover, the requirement of one thousand survival points for the main quest is also a factor that cannot be overlooked.

Pei Chen immediately understood that this might be the soft target offered to newcomers by the infinite space

It was only the inexplicably diminished mental energy bar that made him certain that something had definitely happened just now

The Evil Cave was originally an unnamed cave located in the wilderness outside the Rogues' Camp. As for why it is called the Evil Cave, it is naturally because it is inhabited by evil creatures, which is how the Rogues referred to it. Gradually, this name became widely known.

Beside him, both the white-collar worker and Uncle Fireball had already sustained injuries, especially Uncle Fireball, who was painfully clutching his right arm. Just moments ago, a hard splinter had rendered his formidable Qilin arm useless. Without effective treatment, he would no longer be able to perform.

Indeed, those associated with concepts like the reincarnation space and infinite space are not human. It has only been a short time... Looking at his own attribute values, Pei Chen felt a bit smug. After all, he had already transcended the stage of being a mere fish, and could be considered a high-level miscellaneous... No, no, he could be regarded as an elite monster!

Very well, then let us first enhance our strength

Although he could see nothing, the sudden sound of a kill notification in his ears inexplicably lifted Pei Chen's spirits

The quantity required is appallingly large

... ...

Muscle tissue strength and ligament tissue become resilient under intangible forces, the hardness of the bones rapidly increases, and as a wave of heat fills every cell in the body, absolute strength and explosive power are also enhanced

Or rather, the victory did not last long

Uh, is there another corpse of Rog?

Waving his arm, Pei Chen grabbed the bow and arrow beside him and hurried towards the direction of the evil cave. Even though the path to leveling up is difficult, if he can complete one or two side quests, he should be able to level up a few times based on the completion of the main quest

Waving his arm, Pei Chen was astonished to find that all the fatigue and soreness in his body had completely vanished. Upon checking the status bar, he discovered that both his vitality and mental strength, which had previously decreased, were now fully restored. It was akin to the game setting where everything is maxed out after leveling up. ... This could indeed serve as a trump card, but it is generally only effective against plot characters. As for the Apostles ...? ... You have a trump card, do you think I don't have one?
