You have leveled up to Lv3. Agility increased by 1 point. You have gained the Blademaster class skill: Sprint Lv1. Sprint Lv1 The Blademaster continuously consumes a certain amount of stamina to gain a 12% movement speed increase. This skill can be activated and stopped at any time as long as sufficient stamina remains. Please choose your dungeon rewards freely (up to 3 items). Normal Tier (98% drop chance): ... Fine Tier (1% drop chance): ... Poison Spider Gloves (Fine Tier) These extremely light and thin gloves not only provide a certain degree of protection for your palms, but also cause each of your two-handed attacks to deal poison damage. The poison damage is equivalent to the normal biting attack of a Lv3 Venomfang Spider. Note: The poison on the Poison Spider Gloves is mainly concentrated on the surfaces of the fingers. Do not touch them with bare hands, or you may very likely be poisoned. Spider Cloth Shoes (Fine Tier) These cloth shoes are light, sturdy, and durable. When worn, they increase your poison resistance by 15% and your movement speed by 10%. Rare Tier (0.01% drop chance): Fang (Rare Tier) This short dagger is extremely sharp, and its blade carries terrifying poison. Every time you strike an enemy with it, you inflict one stack of poison damage equivalent to the enraged biting attack of a Lv5 Venomfang Spider. This poison damage can stack with repeated hits, up to a maximum of 10 stacks.
As he watched the level-up notification and reward selection list appear before him one after another, Wang Zhifan, who was already growing familiar with the process, made his choice within seconds.
He chose the Rare Tier dagger Fang, a pair of Fine Tier Spider Cloth Shoes, and a box of Fine Tier pistol ammunition.
There was no need to explain why he chose Fang. It was the only Rare Tier reward on the current list. Although it was not a weapon suited for the Blademaster class, Wang Zhifan could still use it in certain situations. It was not completely worthless high-end junk.
The Fine Tier cloth shoes also had solid attributes. They increased both poison resistance and movement speed. The movement speed boost alone was nearly comparable to the Sprint skill Wang Zhifan had just acquired, and this effect did not even require him to spend stamina to activate it. The difference between the two was obvious.
He chose a box of Fine Tier pistol ammunition solely because his pistol currently had only one bullet left. He had no choice but to take it.
After making his choices, Wang Zhifan opened the treasure chest that had long since appeared before him and directly took out the three items inside. There was no one else around at his current location. His two teammates, one standing and one lying down, were dozens of meters away, so he did not need to worry about them noticing anything.
After dealing with the rewards, he glanced at his player panel again to confirm his latest information.

"Finally, Lv3. But only getting one attribute point per level is way too stingy. I can barely feel that my agility has increased again. Still, these Spider Cloth Shoes really do fit well after putting them on. I feel like my whole body has become a little more nimble."
Compared to the massive increase of 44 total attribute points he had experienced just yesterday, Wang Zhifan could barely feel the one point of agility gained from leveling up this time. The newly dropped Fine Tier Spider Cloth Shoes, however, left him fairly satisfied.
"Since this place is so open, I should test this Sprint skill and see how much stamina it consumes."
Wang Zhifan glanced at the new Sprint skill on his panel with mixed feelings. The mechanics of this new Blademaster skill were far too primitive, making him even more certain that Blademasters were cannon-fodder class users. Still, he honestly began testing the new skill, breaking into a run across this desolate land.
Just as Sprint's description stated, the moment he activated it with a thought, he felt his running speed, already noticeably increased after putting on the Spider Cloth Shoes, rise another level. The boost was about the same as when he had fully stacked his Berserk and Rage buffs, but it had the advantage of activating instantly and could be stopped or restarted at any time.
"This Sprint skill barely seems to consume anything... I've kept it active for several minutes straight and don't feel tired at all... Maybe it's because my constitution is too high..."
After running around in the dungeon world for a while while testing his newly acquired Sprint skill, Wang Zhifan determined that its stamina consumption was extremely low for him. At the very least, he could not feel much stamina being used over just a few minutes, which was undoubtedly closely related to his current constitution being far beyond that of an ordinary person.
While testing it, Wang Zhifan also deliberately tried fully stacking his Berserk and Rage buffs, bringing all his speed bonuses to 34%. That was already a rather high increase, and it was built upon the extraordinary base speed granted by his 35 Strength and 29 Agility. For a time, his running speed became unbelievably fast. After a rough test and estimate, he found that at his peak speed, he could run one hundred meters in about three seconds—far faster than even the fastest cheetah on land. Moreover, thanks to his high constitution, he could maintain that peak speed for quite a while.
After testing the new skill, Wang Zhifan returned to the spot where he had first opened the treasure chest. He picked up the non-dungeon item he had changed out of earlier—his original shoes—and prepared to bring them back to the real world.
Items from the real world could not be placed in a player's personal space. Players could only carry them out by hand. Being able to bring clothes and shoes into a dungeon was also likely a special favor from some unknown great existence, since nearly all other real-world items could not be brought into dungeon worlds.
"Thank you! Thank you for taking me through the dungeon!"
As Wang Zhifan picked up his shoes and prepared to leave, he noticed that the plain-looking girl he had told to stand still earlier had run over. She thanked him excitedly, while the white-collar worker who had fainted from fright at the spiders was still lying on the ground.
"No need to thank me. Wake her up, then leave quickly."
Wang Zhifan gave this chance-met teammate a faint smile, then vanished directly from where he stood.
