Adding Points

Xiao Fan finally let out a sigh of relief and patted Garfield Without Fat on the shoulder: "Well done!"

"Jiu Chen... no, Brother Chen, you are truly incredible!"

Garfield Without Fat gave a thumbs up. He knew in his heart that if it weren't for Xiao Fan, he would never have been able to hit the Red-Eyed Rabbit.

Han the Person and the other two walked over at this moment.

"Garfield, nice job. That arrow just now was legendary!"

"Yeah, if it weren't for your crucial shot, that Red-Eyed Rabbit would have gotten away."

"The point is, you're actually quite reliable."

Listening to the three of them praise him, Garfield Without Fat spoke up sheepishly: "I was only able to shoot so accurately thanks to Brother Chen."

As he spoke, Garfield Without Fat recounted everything that had just happened in detail.

Hearing his words, the other three looked at Xiao Fan with eyes full of shock.

Thinking back carefully, they had also heard Xiao Fan's commands earlier, which led them to change their formation and force the Red-Eyed Rabbit into that exact position.

"Could it be that Jiu Chen had already calculated everything?"

That... that would be too godlike!

The four of them looked at Xiao Fan with gazes shifting from shock to disbelief, then to admiration... and finally worship...

"I propose we let Jiu Chen be our team leader. Does anyone have any objections?" Han the Person suddenly spoke up.

Judging by the situation just now, Jiu Chen's command was clearly a cut above his own.

The position of leader should go to the most capable person.

"I! I agree with both hands and feet," Garfield Without Fat immediately declared.

"We have no objections either." Zai Zai and Swift as Wind exchanged a glance and also expressed their agreement.

Han the Person finally looked at Xiao Fan: "Jiu Chen, the team leadership is handed over to you."

"Hmm, alright."

Xiao Fan nodded. He had to be the team leader; otherwise, with the strength of Han the Person and the others, he feared he wouldn't level up even once in his lifetime.

The five of them rested on the spot for a while, waiting for their stamina to recover before continuing toward the Forest.

This time, Xiao Fan stood in the very center of the team as the leader.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow flew through the air, striking the Red-Eyed Rabbit perfectly. Han the Person and the others, who were already prepared, rushed forward to finish it off.

"Hey! Another one down. Brother Chen is truly amazing!"

Han the Person said with a flattering expression.

Along the way, they finally realized just how powerful Xiao Fan's command was!

Under his direction, the team was practically unstoppable. Not a single Red-Eyed Rabbit they encountered managed to escape.

In one day, they had actually killed 57 of them—it was simply invincible!

Xiao Fan smiled: "This is the result of everyone's hard work."

In truth, he only had to put in effort at the beginning. Later, as the team's coordination became more skilled and tacit, they could understand his intentions with just simple commands.

Xiao Fan's current skills still relied on a team. During his time in the Novice Zone, he decided to cultivate these four as his permanent teammates.

If their character proved to be up to par, he wouldn't mind helping them create skills suited to them in the future.

After all, there were far too many skills he could imagine.

"It's getting dark, let's head back."

Xiao Fan looked at the Heaven; it was already approaching dusk.

The five of them walked toward the edge of the Forest.

"We killed 57 Red-Eyed Rabbits, gaining a total of 57 Core Power. I suggest we take 11 points each, and give the remaining two points to Brother Chen. What do you think?" After calculating the day's results, Han the Person offered his suggestion.

"I have no objections. If it weren't for Brother Chen, we wouldn't have been able to kill a single Red-Eyed Rabbit today. I'd even agree to give him more," Garfield Without Fat said hurriedly.

"It's only right. I have no problem with Brother Chen taking more."

"I have no objections either."

"Good, then that's how we'll distribute it."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Han the Person finished distributing the Core Power, and Xiao Fan received 13 points.

"Sigh! Still too slow."

Xiao Fan sighed inwardly. To reach level 5, he still needed 11,100 points of Core Power. At 13 points a day, it would take him over two years to reach level 5.

"Once the team is tempered for a while, I'll take them to hunt high-level Fierce Beasts," Xiao Fan decided secretly.

The other four each received 11 points, which was just enough for them to reach level 2.

Aside from Xiao Fan, the other four members of the team were all still level 1.

After obtaining 11 points of Core Power, the four of them chose to level up without hesitation.

"5 Free Attribute Points, which ones are you planning to add to?"

After reaching level two, Han the Person asked the others upon seeing the 5 attribute points provided by the system.

"I don't know either. How about we just add one point to each attribute?" Garfield Without Fat suggested.

"Back at school, didn't the teachers teach us that when allocating Free Attribute Points, it's best to add one point to each attribute so that physical fitness can be improved in all aspects?"

"Only those extreme people would specifically stack a single attribute, but that would leave some weaknesses in the body."

Zai Zai recalled the knowledge he had learned previously and suggested.

"Right, that's how it is." The other three all nodded.

Xiao Fan: ...

Specifically stacking a single attribute would leave weaknesses in the body? Adding one point to each attribute just means the whole body is a weakness.

Thinking about how he would be teaming up with these four for a long time, Xiao Fan was silent for a moment before speaking up.

"I don't suggest you add them that way."

The four of them, including Han the Person, had already summoned their systems and were ready to add points, but they all stopped when they heard Xiao Fan speak.

"Why, Brother Chen?" Han the Person asked, puzzled.

"Adding one point to each attribute might improve your body in all aspects, but the improvement is very limited. It's better to focus on one specific area so you have at least one outstanding ability."

Hearing this, Han the Person thought for a moment before speaking hesitantly.

"But if we only add to one area, won't the body have obvious weaknesses?"

Xiao Fan shook his head: "When one of your attributes is particularly outstanding, it will cover up many of your weaknesses. Take Swift as Wind for example; if he puts everything into Agility, even if he can't beat others, they might not be able to catch him either."

Swift as Wind's eyes instantly lit up when he heard Xiao Fan say this.

"I've decided, I'm going to put everything into Agility from now on!"

Xiao Fan: ...There's no need for that!

"I was just giving an example. Besides, don't we have teammates? Teammates can compensate for each other's shortcomings."

Xiao Fan's words made the four of them feel as if a new world had opened up to them.

"So it can be done like this!"

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Xiao Fan said was the reasonable way to add attributes.

"Then Brother Chen, how do you think we should add our points?"

The four of them looked at Xiao Fan in unison.

Considering their Professions and team composition, Xiao Fan thought for a moment before speaking.

"For Han the Person, I suggest you go with five points in Strength. A weapon like a blade needs to be domineering, violent, and direct."

"For Swift as Wind, I suggest three in Strength and two in Agility. That way, you'll be both fast and have damage."

"For Garfield Without Fat, my suggestion is also three in Strength and two in Agility; you'll be able to run and fight."

"For Zai Zai, I suggest three in Strength and two in Constitution; you'll be able to fight and take hits."

This point allocation was summarized by Xiao Fan based on his gaming experience from his past life.

This also fit the team's current situation; if other attributes were lacking, they could just use Core Power to buy them later.

"Alright! Let's add them like that."

The other four chose to trust Xiao Fan without hesitation.
