012, Level Up Twice!
Page 1 of 3
Just as Qi Ran reached “300,” an impassioned electronic voice suddenly rang out in her mind!
[Beep beep beep beep! Beep beep beep beep!]
[It has been detected that the tester has successfully slaughtered a total of 401 zombies! Sufficient energy has been obtained to advance to the next level!]
[The host may choose:
1. Increase level!
2. Maintain current level!]
[Reminder: After increasing your level, your health, stamina, strength, agility, and mental power will all receive a certain boost! Any stamina that has been depleted will also be restored!]
[Testers, please choose whether to increase your level within ten seconds!]
[If no choice is made before the time limit expires, the Guide will automatically select option 1, Increase Level, on the tester’s behalf!]
[Ten-second countdown begins!]
[Ten!]
[Nine!]
[Eight!]
…
Huh?
Qi Ran was taken by surprise!
She opened the attribute panel in her mind to check.
Sure enough, the level column read:
[Level: Newborn Level 1 Tester! (401/400) (Level Up Available)]
Qi Ran was certain she had not miscounted!
Even if she had been off by one or two, there was no way she could have miscounted by a hundred—that would be absurd!
Qi Ran glanced at the zombies in the distance that had been burned to death by the Flame Serpent Entanglement skill.
There were nowhere near a hundred of them!
Then there was only one possibility!
Qi Ran shifted her gaze to her zombie servant.
Could it be… that some of the zombies slaughtered by her zombie servant had been credited to her?
The reason Qi Ran believed only some of them had counted toward her total was that the zombie servant’s attack power was far greater than hers.
As a result, it had slaughtered several times as many zombies as she had!
Yet Qi Ran had already counted to 300.
That meant she had killed 97 zombies, in addition to those burned to death by Flame Serpent Entanglement.
It was impossible for the zombie servant to have killed fewer zombies than she had!
Qi Ran decisively chose [1. Increase Level]!
The exact number of zombies slaughtered by the zombie servant could no longer be determined.
However, Qi Ran was not the sort of person who wasted too much time dwelling on trivial matters of no consequence.
She only needed to treat the zombies slaughtered by her servant as an unexpected bonus!
In any case, even with the zombie servant’s assistance, Qi Ran could not possibly stop slaughtering zombies because of it!

Soon, the impassioned electronic voice rang out again:
[Beep beep beep beep! Beep beep beep beep!]
[Congratulations, tester! You have successfully reached Level 2!]
[The tester’s health has increased by 100 points! Stamina, strength, agility, and mental power have each increased by 5 points!]
[Beep beep beep beep! Beep beep beep beep!]
[A change has been detected in the tester’s stamina, strength, agility, and mental power! Reassessment of combat power commencing!]
[Assessment complete! The tester’s combat star rating remains unchanged!]
As the impassioned electronic voice faded away, a watery blue radiance suddenly descended from the heavens and settled upon Qi Ran’s head!
Bathed in the watery blue light, Qi Ran felt as though her entire body were immersed in warm seawater.
It was incredibly comfortable!
Her previously exhausted stamina also recovered rapidly within the soothing blue radiance.
The instant she felt her body fill with strength, Qi Ran slapped her forehead!
Oh no!
She had not completely exhausted her stamina earlier!
What a terrible loss!
Qi Ran’s heart filled with regret.
She hurriedly opened her personal attribute panel to inspect it.
At the same time, she felt slightly nervous.
She did not know whether reaching Level 2 within the mere three hours since the apocalypse had descended would earn her another additional reward from the Alliance.
If there was no reward, then she had rushed to level up without a second thought simply because she was pressed for time—and that would truly have been a devastating loss!
At that moment, Qi Ran’s personal attribute panel had changed to:
[Attribute Panel]
[Name: Qi Ran!]
[Faction: Blue Star Humanity!]
[Level: Newborn Level 2 Tester! (1/800)]
[Attributes: None!]
[Health: 700!]
[Stamina: 30-20!]
[Strength: 27!]
[Agility: 22!]
[Mental Power: 28!]
[Constitution: No special constitution!]
[Talents: The Young Lady Has Arrived (SSS-Rank), Essence of Fire (A-Rank)]
[Skills: Contract (Passive) (The Young Lady Has Arrived), Claim (The Young Lady Has Arrived), Bestow (The Young Lady Has Arrived), Unspoken (Passive) (The Young Lady Has Arrived), Beaconfire Encampment (Essence of Fire), Flame Serpent Entanglement (Essence of Fire)]
[Servant: Li Fukang (Mutated Zombie Species)!]
[Combat Assessment: 0 Stars! (Evaluation: As insignificant as an ant!)]
The instant Qi Ran finished scanning her attributes at a glance, the impassioned electronic voice rang out:

[Beep beep beep beep! Beep beep beep beep!]
[It has been detected that Blue Star’s first Level 2 tester has appeared!]
[Congratulations to tester Qi Ran for successfully reaching Level 2 within three hours of the apocalypse’s arrival!]
[In accordance with the principle of encouraging testers to level up diligently and slaughter more mutated species, testers who level up rapidly and perform exceptionally well will receive generous rewards and gifts from the Alliance!]
[It has been detected that tester Qi Ran has a weakness in combat power!]
[The Alliance rewards tester Qi Ran by increasing her stamina, strength, agility, and mental power by 100 points each, as well as granting her 100 freely assignable points!]
As the impassioned announcement came to an end, Qi Ran, who had not yet closed the personal attribute panel in her mind, watched with her own eyes as four of her attributes changed to:
[Stamina: 130-20!]
[Strength: 127!]
[Agility: 122!]
[Mental Power: 128!]
At the same time, an additional entry appeared after the four attributes:
[Free Attribute Points: 100!]
Upon seeing this, Qi Ran did not hesitate to assign all 100 free points to stamina.
The zombie servant contracted by Qi Ran was the strongest creature within a hundred-li radius.
Its stamina and strength were only 50 and 52 respectively.
As for its agility and mental power, they were even lower than Qi Ran’s initial values.
Thus, with 127 strength, 122 agility, and 128 mental power, Qi Ran was now more than capable of dealing with the surrounding zombies.
By assigning all 100 free points to stamina, she accumulated 200 stamina points.
Qi Ran could finally use Claim and Bestow on her servant once each, should the need arise!
As for the remaining 30 stamina points, they could be used to activate Flame Serpent Entanglement.
Once stamina was depleted, it could slowly recover.
Five points would be restored every hour!
That was one point every twelve minutes!
Now, less than five minutes had passed since Qi Ran used the Flame Serpent Entanglement skill.
She had not even had time to recover a single point of stamina!
Therefore, Qi Ran’s stamina at that moment was:
[Stamina: 230-20]
The [230] before the dash appeared in white.
The [-20] afterward appeared in red.
White represented fixed values.
Red and green represented temporary changes.
Red indicated a decrease.
Green indicated an increase.
