"What?!" Zhang Ruofeng's own brows furrowed deeply. The leap was too vast, astonishingly so. A jump of several hundred points in stats. Looking at Strength alone, he was already a Lv1 adventurer, a relatively powerful existence. Many people had already reached their limits at D-rank or even earlier. Zhang Ruofeng's stats, however, had practically soared to this point. Moreover, the speed at which his Strength and Stamina were increasing was almost defying logic. Most adventurers' abilities improved uniformly. Even if there were stronger areas, like leg strength or raw power, other abilities wouldn't differ too much. Yet, Zhang Ruofeng was currently in an extremely abnormal state.

"The increase is this big?" Zhang Ruofeng muttered to himself. But seeing the looks in Xin Mu and Fura's eyes, he stopped. After all, he didn't know how to explain his own inner doubts, and he had no evidence to support his views, so he didn't continue speaking.

"Agility has increased to E95, Dexterity to E90, Stamina has reached A784, Magic Power has reached H10, other skills are unchanged," Fura read aloud, her voice filled with surprise. Two weeks. Although it relied on Perman's potion—Dragon Blood—to unexpectedly boost Zhang Ruofeng's Stamina to a very high level, Zhang Ruofeng had reached another peak in just a few days, upgrading from B to A. This was a level that 99.9% of adventurers had not reached. Stamina didn't increase just from getting injured or taking hits; the essence of this attribute lay in the tempering of body and spirit. "Furthermore, your EP section has also changed. It's now 4695/10000."

"Has it risen this much?" Zhang Ruofeng replied. "My experience points are almost enough to level up, but after a life-or-death battle and magic depletion, I still don't have any magic?" Zhang Ruofeng was indeed a little disappointed. Coming to another world, learning a magic spell would be the perfect experience. But Zhang Ruofeng seemed to lack that talent.

"Alright, I'll head out first." Zhang Ruofeng twisted his neck and stood up, preparing to leave. Xin Mu and Fura didn't try to stop him. Zhang Ruofeng's first principle was not to have intimate contact with women, so Fura always relayed Xin Mu's condition to Zhang Ruofeng verbally.

"Okay, Xin Mu's growth results are out too." Zhang Ruofeng poured himself a cup of tea on the first floor. Before he could take a sip, the two girls walked down, hand in hand. "Xin Mu's current stats are Strength E451, Agility 678, Dexterity 654, Stamina F59. Skills are unchanged, and EP status is updated to 4011/10000. Looking at both your data, I have to say your skill 'Knowledge of the Otherworld Adventurer' is truly too powerful. It's the most powerful skill I've ever seen."

After all, in half a month, the sum of the increases in four attributes exceeded 2000. Even the most talented adventurers, adventuring in the Dungeon day and night without eating or drinking, could not achieve such growth in their abilities. Although their adventuring journey was fraught with danger, the growth in their strength was beyond the comprehension of this world, including himself as a god, he had never seen people like them.

"If it's a blessing, it's not a curse; if it's a curse, it can't be avoided." Zhang Ruofeng sighed softly. With ability, one must continue to explore deeper. Now, not many people were curious about him and Xin Mu, which was a good opportunity to improve his strength. However, rapidly advancing to deeper levels would inevitably attract more attention. He could only ponder this troublesome issue later. He couldn't make a reasonable judgment about such matters now, so he could only continue to improve his strength. With strength, he naturally wouldn't be so hesitant and timid as he was now.

"Don't look so gloomy. We're going out to relax and have fun today." Fura casually took Zhang Ruofeng's hand, pulling one adventurer on each side, and happily walked out of the house.

"I didn't expect clothes to be so expensive." Zhang Ruofeng went to a dessert shop and sold two Star-shaped Fruits, exchanging them for 4,300 Faris. He hadn't expected that just his clothes—two hemp shirts, a pair of fine hemp trousers, a pair of cowhide boots, and a set of pajamas bought under the strong recommendation of Xin Mu and the goddess Fura—would cost 700 Faris. Zhang Ruofeng once again felt the pressure of money.

"Ruofeng, what do you think of this one?" The goddess pulled Xin Mu out of the fitting room. Since Xin Mu still needed to adventure in the Dungeon, Goddess Fura chose a white tight-fitting shirt for her. It instantly showcased Xin Mu's figure to the fullest, who usually wore loose clothing. Zhang Ruofeng was instantly somewhat unable to resist. He hastily praised it a couple of times and turned to flee, saying, "I'll go to the armor shop first!"

"Pfft~" Xin Mu, who had been a little shy, also started laughing with Goddess Fura. It was simply because Zhang Ruofeng's flustered expression, usually so serious and earnest, was too amusing. No wonder Fura always tried every means to make Zhang Ruofeng flustered; teasing him was indeed very interesting and rewarding.

"This must be the place." Zhang Ruofeng estimated that Fura and Xin Mu would be shopping for a long time. He could still maintain a straight face in that situation just now, but now he really couldn't. Looking at the clothes Xin Mu was wearing, which were specifically designed to accentuate her chest, Zhang Ruofeng felt he was about to get a nosebleed. To avoid dying of heartache, he had to flee in a panic. Anyway, he had agreed on a meeting point with the two of them, so Zhang Ruofeng came to a weapon shop. The lower floors of this weapon shop were like a large marketplace. This place belonged to the God of Smelting, and it was also a shop of the Familia of Ekaladema, one of the gods worshipped by the dwarves. It was four stories high and was one of the larger shops in this weapon and equipment shopping street. Since it also sold equipment for low-level adventurers, it was crowded and lively at the moment.

"Xin Mu's and my leather armor, and Xin Mu's knee pads and wrist guards." Zhang Ruofeng had already decided on the items he needed before coming. Wearing heavy equipment now would not only fail to improve their strength but would also hinder their combat. Moreover, his own arms would be wearing arm guards connected to his hands, which didn't require much protection. As for Xin Mu, who paid more attention to the feel of her hands, Zhang Ruofeng thought it would be better to let her first get used to wrist guards that could protect her and block attacks at critical moments.

"This is too expensive, and this one also exceeds my estimate." Zhang Ruofeng looked around as he walked. Most items were priced higher than he expected. The adventurers who made these items were also haggling with people. Zhang Ruofeng was not good at bargaining, so he didn't stop at any stall along the way.

"This one is good." Zhang Ruofeng's eyes lit up when he saw a pair of wrist guards made of wild ox leather. Just as he was about to ask the price, he saw a familiar figure, a figure who had scammed him twice.
