Chapter 170
Just as Lu Xuan, the Portable Space skill could not be upgraded after reaching level two. To continue upgrading, one's personal level also needed to reach level three.
Let's use the second skill then.
Lu Xuan: "Activate skill: Inspection"
System: Do you want to consume 10 experience points to activate the skill: Inspection?
Lu Xuan: "Confirmed."
Level 1 Inspection: Consumes a certain amount of Divine Power to query the target's current status, such as four-dimensional attributes, skills, personal level, etc. The information obtained depends on the difference in Divine Power between the two parties.
As expected, the Inspection skill, like the Portable Space, should now have a maximum level of level two.
"Continue to upgrade skill: Inspection"
System: "Would you like to spend 100 experience points to upgrade the skill: Inspection?"
Lu Xuan: "Confirmed."
Inspection Level 2: Consumes a small amount of Divine Power to query the target's current status, such as four-dimensional attributes, skills, personal level, health status, etc. The information obtained depends on the Inspection level and the difference between the host's Divine Power and the target's Divine Power.
Current status
Host: Lu Xuan
Cultivation Level: Level Two Evolver (Upgradeable) [Red]
Experience points: 2846 (1/19)
Technique: None
Skills: Portable Space Level 2, Inspection Level 2
Superpower: (Can be awakened)
Four-dimensional attributes:
Strength 24
Agility 25
Constitution 26
Spirit 23
Current World: Tianxuan Continent
Current mode: Post-apocalyptic survival
Experience points disappear so quickly; I only have 2846 left. At this rate, I'm afraid my experience points will drop to three digits by the time I reach level three.
Leveling up doesn't require much experience; the majority of the effort probably comes from skills.
Following the pattern of 10 points for level 1 and 100 points for level 2, level 3 will likely require 1000 experience points.
Lu Xuan: "System, I want to know about the Tianxuan Continent and the current post-apocalyptic survival situation."
System: Please figure it out on your own.
Sure enough, it was the same again. In fact, Lu Xuan had asked the system about this issue many times, but the answer was always the same: Please figure it out yourself.
Lu Xuan thought that now that he had leveled up, he would get a different answer.
Grass (a type of plant).
However, Lu Xuan had a premonition that the so-called apocalyptic survival mode was either a system blunder or a joke to him.
Lu Xuan had a gut feeling that the end of the world would come soon.
Previously, all of my experience points came from system lotteries, but now I can automatically gain one skill point every nineteen days.
There's also the superpower he can awaken, though there's a high chance he won't. But Lu Xuan understands that this world is starting to change.
We must prepare early and stockpile supplies in preparation for the possible apocalypse that may befall us.
Of course, Lu Xuan would never touch loan sharks again, even if it meant his life.
Can I possibly fall in the same place twice?
Unfortunately, it's already past midnight, and supermarkets and shopping malls have long since closed. Otherwise, Lu Xuan would be stockpiling supplies right now.
Let's sound them out first and see if we can get some weapons over.
Forget about guns.
Unless you're a nobleman, it's very difficult for ordinary people to obtain a gun license, and those who illegally possess firearms will be taken to shooting practice.
Lu Xuan is confident he can take on a hundred men with his bare hands, but he doesn't think he can withstand the power of firearms.
Lu Xuan still wanted to get some bows and crossbows. He wasn't afraid of close combat; with his attributes five times that of an average person, Lu Xuan was confident he could tear people apart like paper.
It should be noted that Lu Xuan was already considered the strongest human in the world simply because he possessed physical abilities that were twice that of an average person.
A difference of 100% in physical fitness is not something that can be calculated simply by addition.
For example, an average person can lift 60kg and sprint 100 meters in 12 seconds.
But what about Lu Xuan before he leveled up?
With only twice the physical strength, Lu Xuan can lift 400kg and sprint 100 meters in under 8 seconds.
Yes, it's that absurd. This isn't a simple addition, it's multiplication.
Of course, there are indeed strong people in the world who can lift 300 or 400 kilograms, but can the average person compare to their physique?
Simply put, when the physical abilities of two people differ by a factor of two, the outcome of the battle will be an absolute crushing defeat.
Now, Lu Xuan possesses five times the physical abilities of an ordinary person. If this were placed on an ancient battlefield, he would be invincible, a fierce general capable of single-handedly cutting through enemy lines and emerging unscathed.
Unfortunately, times have changed!
Lu Xuan: "System, is there any way to speed up the process of fully mastering my current physical abilities?"
System: "Option 1: Learn a martial arts technique."
Option 2: Combat.
Option 3: The body adapts gradually.
Forget about cultivation techniques. Combat?
Hmm, fighting alongside pretty older women should count as a battle, right? (｡♡‿♡｡)
system:...
Lu Xuan told those guys what he needed, and after making the call, it was almost 1 a. m.
An hour has already passed. It seems today isn't the end of the world, Lu Xuan thought to himself.
I'll take another shower. I was so excited that I didn't pay much attention to the dirt on my body.
Wash yourself clean and go to sleep.
Tomorrow I'll treat my little brother to at least ten abalones so I can quickly get my physical condition under control.
(◍•ᴗ•◍)
at the same time.
Tianxuan Continent.
"Huh? It's actually a small world? A small world is hidden within this secret realm? We must go and report to the patriarch immediately."
Inside a small rented room in J city, H province.
The young man lying in the room suddenly woke up, his eyes cloudy and fierce.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, a hint of doubt crept into his cold eyes.
who I am?
Where is this?
I remember now, I am Chu Xuan, a level three evolver and a level one fire-type ability user.
While hunting zombies outside the city, he unfortunately encountered a level 4 agile zombie. Although he managed to escape, he was seriously injured and eventually surrounded by a horde of zombies. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the horde devoured him and he lost consciousness.
Looking at his now intact limbs, Chu Xuan was filled with doubt.
Am I saved?
Who saved me?
besides?
Where is my strength now? I feel so weak!
Is the weakness due to a severe injury?
No!
Here it is!
A small rental house before the apocalypse?
Picking up his phone, which he hadn't used in a long time, Chu Xuan carefully tapped a few numbers using the password he remembered, and the locked phone screen unlocked.
Time: 0:21 on December 12, 368th year of the Great Han Empire Calendar.
December 12, 368?
Isn't this exactly the day the end of the world will come?
It happened around 9:20 AM on December 12th, 368 AD.
The world was completely unaware of what was happening. Without any warning, in less than ten minutes, nearly half of the world's organisms mutated.
They turned into bloodthirsty monsters, and if bitten by one, you too would turn into the same monster.
The official definition of this monster is: zombie.
There are still nearly nine hours until the end of the world; I must take action.
Since fate has allowed me to return to three years ago, I absolutely will not allow the tragedy to repeat itself.
Chu Xuan picked up his phone and made a call.
"Dad, Mom..."
"Xiangzi..."
Sleepless night
December 12th, Imperial Calendar 368, around 9:00 AM.
"Please turn to your textbooks, Chapter Six, Section Three. Today we will be learning about..."
Lu Xuan is currently listening to a lecture in the classroom; the content of his previous life is very different from that of this life.
In his previous life, Lu Xuan philosophy, but in this life he studies literature. Moreover, the humanities and history of this world are very different from those of Lu Xuan's previous life, so Lu Xuan listens to the lectures very attentively.
Soon, it was 9:20.
drop...
System: A mutation is occurring in the world... It is estimated that within ten minutes, half of the world's life forms will undergo this mutation...
System: The host is undergoing a mutation...
System: The host is currently Level Two Evolver, immune to most corpse poisons below level 5. Mutation has ceased.
Lu Xuan was a little confused.
Mutation?
Corpse poison?
Holy crap, is the end of the world about to begin?
I'm not ready yet.
"Inspection"
Without hesitation, Lu Xuan used his Inspection skill.
Sure enough, about half of the people in the classroom began to undergo strange changes.
'24%, 25% in the process of becoming a zombie...'
'7%, 8% in the process of becoming a zombie...'
What should I do?
Lu Xuan fell into deep thought.
To save or not to save?
According to the system, Level Two Evolver are immune to corpse poison below Level 5.
A newly mutated zombie certainly couldn't reach level five.
I should be safe.
Before Lu Xuan was an evolved being, with only twice the physical strength, Lu Xuan tried jumping from the third floor of the teaching building, a distance of ten meters. Apart from his legs feeling a little numb, he was perfectly fine.
He was currently on the fourth floor, only thirteen or fourteen meters high, but his average attribute was as high as 25 points, nearly five times the physical fitness of an average person.
Let alone thirteen meters, even jumping from twenty-three meters would probably only result in a sprained ankle at most.
Even if you're surrounded by a horde of zombies, you can always jump off a building.
Moreover, with his current physical condition, while he might not be able to handle large hordes of zombies, he could definitely break through small ones.
Therefore, I should be relatively safe right now.
Perhaps I could try to save them.
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Two years! I've been in this world for two years. Even if a dog had been with me for two years, I wouldn't just stand by and watch it die, let alone someone I'd been classmates with for over two years.
Of course, if the situation becomes untenable, Lu Xuan will definitely be the first to run. As long as he is safe, Lu Xuan doesn't mind saving people, but if it means risking his life to save someone, Lu Xuan will absolutely not do it.
Even if he couldn't win and had to escape, he could at least protect a few people and escape with them. Not to mention the others, there was one person Lu Xuan would definitely take with him.
In this world, including military academies, the Great Han Empire has a total of one thousand universities. The top one hundred are first-class universities, the top three hundred are second-class universities, and the rest are all third-class universities.
As I've said before, the Great Han Empire in this world is incredibly powerful, and correspondingly, the value of its universities is also extremely high.
The universities in the Great Han Empire were not fixed, but ranked. A university that rose to the 100th place automatically became a first-class university, while a university that fell to the 1001st place automatically lost its university status and was downgraded to a junior college.
