Leveling Up, Rewards

You have leveled up to Lv3. Agility +1. You have gained the Blade Warrior class skill: *Sprint Lv1*.

*Sprint Lv1*

Blade Warriors continuously consume a certain amount of stamina to gain a 12% increase in movement speed. This skill can be activated and stopped at any time as long as sufficient stamina remains.

Please choose your Dungeon rewards (up to 3 items).

Common Grade (98% drop chance):

Fine Grade (1% drop chance):

Poison Spider Gauntlets (Fine Grade)

These exceptionally light and thin gloves not only provide a certain degree of protection for your palms, but also add poison damage to every two-handed attack. The poison damage is equivalent to the ordinary biting attack of a Lv3 Poison Fang Spider.

Note: The poison on the Poison Spider Gauntlets 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 Grade)

These cloth shoes are light, sturdy, and durable. When worn, they increase your poison resistance by 15% and movement speed by 10%.

Rare Grade (0.01% drop chance):

Venom Fang (Rare Grade)

This short dagger is exceptionally sharp, and its blade carries a 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 Poison Fang Spider. Repeated hits stack this poison damage up to 10 times.

As he watched the level-up notification and reward selection list appear before him one after another, Wang Zhifan, already fairly familiar with the process, made his choices within seconds.

He chose the Rare Grade dagger Venom Fang, a pair of Fine Grade Spider Cloth Shoes, and a box of Fine Grade Handgun Bullets.

There was no need to explain why he chose Venom Fang. It was the only Rare Grade reward on the current list. Though it was not a weapon suited to the Blade Warrior class, Wang Zhifan could still make use of it in certain situations. It was not completely useless high-grade junk.

The Fine Grade cloth shoes had solid attributes, increasing both poison resistance and movement speed. Their movement speed bonus alone was nearly on par with the Sprint skill Wang Zhifan had just acquired, and this effect required no stamina to activate. The difference was obvious.

He chose a box of Fine Grade Handgun Bullets solely because his handgun currently had only one bullet left. He had no choice but to take them.

After quickly making his selections, Wang Zhifan opened the Treasure Chest that had long since appeared before him and directly removed the three items inside. There was no one else around at the moment. 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 to confirm his latest information.

"Finally, Lv3. But only getting one attribute point per level is really stingy. I can't even feel that my Agility has increased again. Still, these Spider Cloth Shoes really do fit well. I feel like my whole body has become a bit more nimble."

For Wang Zhifan, who had experienced a surge of 44 total attribute points just yesterday, the single point of Agility gained from this level-up was barely noticeable. The newly dropped Fine Grade Spider Cloth Shoes, on the other hand, left him rather satisfied.

"Since this place is so spacious, I should test this Sprint skill and see how much stamina it consumes."

Wang Zhifan gave the newly added Sprint skill on his panel a somewhat complicated look. The mechanism of this new Blade Warrior skill was simply too primitive, making him increasingly certain that Blade Warrior was cannon-fodder class. Still, regardless of that, he honestly began testing the new skill, breaking into a run across the desolate land.

Just as the skill description stated, the moment he activated Sprint with a thought, he felt his running speed—which had already noticeably increased after putting on the Spider Cloth Shoes—rise another notch. The boost was about the same as when he had fully stacked his Berserk Buff, but it could be activated instantly and stopped or restarted at any time.

"This Sprint skill barely seems to consume anything... I've kept it on for several minutes straight and don't feel tired at all... Maybe it's because my Constitution is too high..."

After running around the Dungeon world for a while while continuously testing the newly acquired Sprint skill, Wang Zhifan determined that its stamina consumption was extremely low for him. At least, if he only maintained it for a few minutes, he could barely feel any stamina being used. This was undoubtedly closely related to his current physical condition, which far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

While testing it, Wang Zhifan also deliberately tried fully stacking his Berserk and Frenzy Buffs, bringing all his speed bonuses to 34%. That was already a fairly 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 roughly testing and estimating it, 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 this peak speed for quite some time.

After testing the new skill, Wang Zhifan returned to where he had first opened the Treasure Chest and picked up the non-Dungeon item he had changed out of earlier—his original shoes—preparing to take them back to the real world.

Items from the real world like these could not be placed into a player's Personal Space. Players could only carry them out by hand. As for why players could bring clothes and shoes into a Dungeon, that was likely some special consideration from the unknown great existence. After all, almost every other real-world item could not be brought into a Dungeon world.

"Thank you! Thank you for taking me through the Dungeon!"

As Wang Zhifan picked up his shoes and prepared to leave, he discovered that the plainly dressed girl whom he had told to stand still earlier had run over. Her expression was rather excited as she thanked him, 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, he vanished from the spot.
