After finishing the inventory of his gains, Su Jiang couldn't wait to open his main attributes to check.

Current Kurumi Avatar Attributes:

Level: Lv8 (Experience 12%)

Life Level: Kabbalah Spirit (Life Level slowly releasing...)

Talents: Zafkiel (Advanced Talent), Charm (Intermediate Talent)

Skills: "First Bullet (Aleph) LV.1", "Second Bullet (Bet) LV.1"...

Attack: 136 ((Strength + Intelligence) / 2, balanced development attack calculation)

Defense: 13.6 (Constitution * 0.1)

Health: 1360 (Constitution * 10)

Mana: 680 (Spirit * 5)

Time Value: 53

Attributes (Balanced Development): Strength 136, Intelligence 136, Constitution 136, Spirit 136.

Su Jiang switched back to his main body to check. All four basic attributes were 80, which was the growth of an ordinary player.

As for Kurumi, who was a Kabbalah Spirit, her attributes were a full 1.7 times higher than his main body. Moreover, for every level she gained, her attribute growth increased by 1. It was foreseeable that the higher the level, the greater the gap between them!

According to his memories from his previous life, once everyone reached level 100, Kurumi's avatar attributes would be fully released. At that time, her four-dimensional attributes alone would be ten times that of an ordinary player!

Of course, this comparison was only against ordinary players, as there were many ways to change one's Life Level in the Meta World.

However, even if they changed their Life Level and caught up in attributes in the later stages, they wouldn't be able to compensate for the advantage gained in the early stages.

Su Jiang thought gleefully, then accepted a few more rare quests and went out.

Another day passed.

Su Jiang finally managed to reach level 10.

It took 37,000 experience points to go from level 8 to level 10. Killing ordinary monsters of the same level only gave single-digit experience points. Kurumi's avatar's two guns were almost shot to pieces before she finally reached level 10.

Her four-dimensional attributes now reached 190 points, her attack power reached 190, and her health was as high as 1900 points. If it were the previous Rat King, it would now take at least ten of her attacks to kill it!

At the same time, reaching level 10 automatically unlocked the Third Bullet skill.

Skill: "Third Bullet (Gimel) LV.1"

Cost: 30 Time Value

Passive Effect: Increases own base attributes by 10%.

Active Effect: For a target that is hit, temporarily increase the passive effect to an increase of 50% in base attributes, lasting for five seconds, with a cooldown of one minute.

Very good. With this skill, he should be able to kill them within the time limit.

The "Meta World" was a miracle born from human consciousness, so many things and settings were influenced by humans themselves.

Among humans, there were good people and bad people.

Based on this, the "Meta World" evolved a self-consistent logic.

There was a great war between the good and evil factions.

All evil monster factions originated from humanity's evil thoughts, and the players' mission was to eliminate them.

"Fear's Minions" were cannon fodder within the evil faction, usually used to fill the numbers in war and to run errands.

There were as many of these things as you wanted within the evil faction.

As for the other six Deities, they were "Nightmare," "Pleasure," "Rage," "Justice," "Vengeance," and "Death."

They each represented different authorities.

Su Jiang arrived at the location of the dungeon entrance.

There were still many players testing the waters at the entrance, constantly entering and exiting, trying to figure out the dungeon's clear mechanism.

Su Jiang's entry did not attract anyone's attention.

Upon entering the dungeon, Su Jiang was greeted by a very classic and very evil-themed dark environment. The ground was pitch black and muddy, with bubbles rising from the surface. Black grass and withered branches formed the backdrop of this dungeon.

Outside a simple camp, several goblins emitting black mist, carrying wooden clubs and wooden shields, wandered aimlessly.

[Fear's Minion Goblin]

Level: Lv.10

Life Level: Elite Monster

Attack Power: 300

Defense: 0

Health:

Skills: Fear Possession, Deterrence

Monster Description: Fear, Fear!

These were all monsters possessed by evil. Su Jiang knew that simply killing these goblins wouldn't be enough to destroy them.

When they were at half health, the possessing Fear's Minions would actively appear. Su Jiang had to kill the Fear's Minions within this time, otherwise, they would return to the goblins' bodies and reappear at full health.

However, physical attacks couldn't hit these soul bodies; only magical attacks with elemental damage could harm them.

Therefore, Su Jiang had to find the group of nuns first.

Bang, bang, bang...

Su Jiang didn't plan to deal with them one by one. Without a stealth talent, it was impossible to avoid their detection range.

Transforming into Kurumi, she fired a shot at the few monsters wandering near the entrance, creating a distance in speed between them.

-209!

-418!

-209!

In less than a minute, Kurumi had shot all the monsters wandering outside the camp and was leading them away in a wide circle.

Thanks to the powerful slow debuff, the dozens of demonized goblins couldn't catch up to Kurumi at all.

After circling to the farthest point, Kurumi made another turn with them and charged back towards the camp.

The possessed goblins outside were just ordinary cannon fodder. The goblins inside the camp were slightly more advanced cannon fodder.

They could use throwing attacks. After luring them all out, Kurumi had to constantly pay attention to attacks coming from behind.

Previously, she had seen other players on the forums using the most reliable method: eliminating them one by one and then tackling the boss.

This method was indeed the most reliable, but the problem was that players' levels were generally low, and their equipment wasn't up to par, naturally leading to insufficient DPS. This prevented those players from eliminating the possessing evil soul bodies within the time limit.

Kurumi's method was possible because her skills had a slowing effect; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to kite so many small monsters.

"Yaa!" "Aah!" "Yaa!"...

All the goblins inside the camp had their attention drawn by the outsider, swinging the wooden clubs in their hands and chasing Kurumi.

After a short while.

Kurumi circled the camp once, with over fifty goblins following her.

She led them out through another exit.

Running to the farthest point of the camp, just as they were about to leave the combat range.

"City of Eating Time!"

A red domain instantly bloomed beneath her feet, and the speed of all the monsters began to slow down.

The City of Eating Time was like a muddy swamp, making the goblins as sluggish as if their joints were rusted.

The camp was now empty. It was the perfect time to get the enchantment!
