...
In fact, Ning Yumo didn't need to tell Qin Fang, as he wasn't paying much attention to those past events anymore, since he was at a very critical moment.
What moment?
Quite simply—he leveled up!
"Captured one robber, earned 20 Experience Points."
"Captured one robber, earned 20 Experience Points."
"..."
"Captured the robber leader, earned 40 Experience Points."
When Qin Fang ended the call, a series of data flashed continuously in his mind—all records of Experience Points earned, totaling six entries.
These six entries altogether surpassed the 400-point mark when added to Qin Fang's existing Experience Points, meaning that Qin Fang's Experience had reached the level needed to advance to Level 2.
"Experience Points have reached the maximum, meeting the level-up requirement, auto-leveling up..."
"Character level advanced to Level 2, All Attributes +5..."
"System reward: one Skill Book."
"Props Box automatically upgraded, usable slots increased to 6."
A sequence of notifications almost exploded Qin Fang's head, but far from being displeased, he was extremely delighted—he wished he could hear such sounds every day.
Advancing to Level 2 was something he'd anticipated.
With another All Attributes +5, Qin Fang's attributes were now Full Attributes +10, meaning every level increase would add 5 to all attributes, which was exceptionally good news for Qin Fang.
Over time, Qin Fang had gradually figured out some details about attributes.
Everyone's body is a template and each person is unique. Some people have great strength but are slow, clumsy, and lack agility; others are very flexible and fast, but lack strength; still others are born with remarkable willpower and have strong mental fortitude...
It's precisely these differences that result in everyone's strengths and weaknesses.
However, Qin Fang's template was different from everyone else's.
Or rather, since that awakening, he had become a different person altogether. At Level 0, all his attributes were at 0. Upon reaching Level 1, his Full Attributes were 5. Now, having ascended to Level 2, his Full Attributes were 10.
These numbers might not match some people's single attributes, but their balanced distribution meant that there was no shortcoming, potentially making each attribute a strength.
Qin Fang didn't rush to test out the strength of Full Attributes at 10 points, but instead continued to sort through the gains from leveling up.
"Finally, the Props Box has been upgraded..."
When Qin Fang heard this notification, he even momentarily overlooked the previous messages because he had been longing for it for quite some time.
The usefulness of the Props Box was exhilarating for Qin Fang, especially when he discovered he could place external items inside, leading to a sleepless night of excitement.
Unfortunately, he soon frustratingly realized the Props Box only had three slots; he needed one to hold that miraculously effective Brick, one to store Baozi for replenishing life points—for the sake of his own safety, this was something Qin would not forsake—and the remaining slot was for stashing the booze from that competitive drinking night to cheat.
Thus, with only three slots, the Props Box was quickly filled, causing Qin's lengthy lamentation. Had it not been for the military training he was undergoing in the camp over the past half-month, he would have surely emptied the mixed alcohol slot.
Without that, there wouldn't have been the episode where Brother Niu and his companions suffered alcohol poisoning, thus relieving Qin Fang of his frustration.
The limited space in the Props Box often made simple tasks complex, much like dealing with Bootlicker just now—had Qin Fang reached out, he could have easily transferred the baseball bat into the Props Box, then retrieved it, making it his own without the risky move of using his arm to block it.
Fortunately, after Qin's long anticipation, the Props Box was finally upgraded. The initially insufficient three slots turned into six, doubling in capacity, allowing Qin to store three additional items.
Opening the Props Box, Qin Fang indeed saw that the original three slots had expanded to six. His Brick, Baozi, and mixed alcohol were still there, while two of the three new slots were empty, and the remaining one quietly contained a Skill Book—the very one gifted by the system upon leveling up.
"I wonder what Skill it is?"
Qin Fang was feeling a bit excited. When he reached Level 1, the system had gifted him a Scouting Skill, which didn't seem to be something one could learn by mere groping around—it was given by the system.
After using it for such a long time, Qin Fang had grown deeply fond of this skill; it was just too practical.
It not only allowed him to check other people's information but also to appraise items, such as antiques and stone gambling... His current net worth of a million was all thanks to it.
Compared to this, the skills Qin Fang learned on his own seemed far less practical, with perhaps the exception of the Cooking Skill, which was of little use to him at the moment.
With that in mind, Qin Fang was giving a lot of importance and longing to this second system-gifted skill.
"Strong Body Technique!"
That's what was written on the Skill Book.
"Strong Body Technique, a fundamental for martial artists, enhances vitality and increases proficiency. While improving proficiency, there is a chance to comprehend the auxiliary skill Tough Skin Technique for the Strong Body Technique."
Reading the notes about the Strong Body Technique, Qin Fang understood what this skill was all about.
Life Points, he was not unfamiliar with this term; it naturally referred to his own Life Points.
At the beginning, when he was Level 0, Qin Fang had 10 Life Points, and after leveling up to Level 1, his Life Points increased to 15. Now, having leveled up again with an attribute increase of +5, his Life Points had grown to 20.
That is to say, as long as his 20 Life Points were not fully depleted, he would not die. He could continuously replenish his Life Points by eating baozi.
But the problem was that his Life Points—though numerous—weren't really that many. It was like being stabbed with a knife; if hit in some non-vital parts, he'd lose over 6 Life Points. But if stabbed in potentially fatal spots, it might cost Qin Fang his life or cause massive loss. With just a slight bit more damage, his Life Points could be exhausted, and he'd be gone.
One could say that at this time, Qin Fang's life was not only no more resilient than that of ordinary people but more fragile, without even the chance for rescue.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Fang was extremely cautious and deliberative when facing danger.
Just like today when he encountered Brother Niu and their gang of robbers, if he had been alone, the situation might have been completely different. He would likely have returned to school with Xiao Nan and the others, instead of being on his own.
He wasn't the type to show off blindly. He only made a move when he was quite sure of his overwhelming odds of winning, like when he faced three opponents at once—it was because he felt he had more than an 80% chance of victory.
Clearly, he won in the end!
He successfully defeated the three robbers and even captured them.
But today, he only faced Level 1 robbers. If he were up against Level 2, Level 3, or even Level 4 stronger robbers, then proceeding in the same manner would have meant a certain death.
Therefore, Qin Fang had to increase his Life Points. If his Life Points could reach hundreds or thousands, he even wondered whether bullets would be able to kill him.
Before, he had no way of doing so and could only passively increase his Life Points by leveling up, but now he was gifted such a Strong Body Skill, which made things completely different.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Fang immediately took out the Skill Book and chose to learn it. The book turned into a stream of light that dissolved into Qin Fang's body, and at the same time, a message came to his mind.
"Learned Skill: Strong Body."
"Strong Body, Skill Level: Beginner, Proficiency: 0%, Life Points +1; for every 10% increase in Proficiency, the upper limit of Life Points increases by 1."
Seeing the specific notes about the Strong Body Skill, Qin Fang's face immediately broke into a bright smile. For every 10% increase, 1 Life Point would be added. Thus, if Qin Fang could raise his Strong Body Skill from Beginner to Intermediate Level, he would gain an additional 10 Life Points, equivalent to the Life Point increase from leveling up two character levels, which was absolutely worth it.
"Tough Skin Technique, an auxiliary skill of Strong Body Technique, can be comprehended from the Strong Body Technique, giving a certain defensive boost."
At the same time, under the Strong Body Technique skill, there appeared a grayed-out skill icon. Qin Fang glanced at it and realized it was the auxiliary skill Tough Skin Technique mentioned in the System's prompt.
Clearly, this skill was also very practical.
Original Attack Damage - Defense Value = Final Damage Sustained.
Currently, Qin Fang's defense was almost zero; the clothes on his body offered no protection whatsoever. Facing swords, guns, and the like, essentially, Original Attack Damage = Final Damage Sustained.
But if he learned the Tough Skin Technique and his defense was boosted, then the Final Damage Sustained could be reduced accordingly, which also meant less reduction in Life Points.
This also meant Qin Fang's Life Point loss from injuries was lessened, significantly increasing his level of safety.
Although Qin Fang also wished to obtain such an auxiliary skill, what really annoyed him was that chance to comprehend it; that rate is hard to predict and could be as low as 1% or as high as 99%—no one could tell.
Luckily, it's an auxiliary skill. Now that Qin Fang has acquired the Strong Body Technique and can increase his Life Point limit, many troubles can be resolved. Whether he learns the Tough Skin Technique or not... isn't too important...(To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com.
