Chapter 5 The Suppressed Level

"you!"

Xu Xiao was choked by Lu Li and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He stamped his feet and followed him angrily.

The corridor of the insect nest is not too long. After bending down and walking for tens of meters, the surroundings suddenly become clear.

Ma Han set up his flaming long bow and looked around by the light of the fire.

Little did he know that it didn't matter if he didn't look at it. One look at it almost made him pee.

Nuoda's underground space was filled with densely packed insect eggs.

Each of these eggs is the size of an adult's head, and they are slowly squirming under the light of the fire.

"There are so many insect eggs, if they all hatch..."

Xu Xiao murmured, not daring to think about it further.

At this moment, she understood what Lu Li wanted to do, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Lu Li, once these eggs hatch, they will pose a huge threat to the school. Let us help you clean them up!"

"casual."

Lu Li didn't stop him. Anyway, his purpose was to increase his soul points, get three more people to help clean up, and save energy.

Unhatched eggs are disgusting but have no offensive power.

After a lot of work, Lu Li gained nearly 20 soul points.

[Ding, it’s detected that player Lu Li’s soul points have reached 50, and the soul soldier is unlocked! 】

Soul soldiers, as the name suggests, reshape collected souls into soldiers.

Every 1 soul point is equivalent to 1 experience point.

With Lu Li's current soul points, he can recreate a Level 2 blade-armed mantis.

And as long as Lu Li's soul points don't return to zero, the soul soldiers will be immortal and exist forever!

There was also an unexpected surprise.

The unhatched mantis eggs were actually judged as blade-armed mantises, which allowed Lu Li to easily win the advanced mission.

[It has been detected that player Lu Li has killed 100 blade-armed mantises! Ability advancement mission completed! 】

[Task reward: Challenger Treasure Box × 1, the ability ‘Blade Arm’ is upgraded to platinum level! 】

Choosing to put the reward on hold for now, Lu Li stretched with satisfaction.

Just as he was thinking about where to kill monsters next, an announcement suddenly appeared in the data panel.

[Congratulations to player Zhao Hui for becoming the first player in the world to reach Lv.1, and will be rewarded with a black iron level upgrade treasure box × 1! 】

…

"Zhao Hui?"

Zhao Jin, who didn't know how to complete the clan master's task, stared at the announcement on the panel, with a hint of joy between his eyebrows.

The name is unfamiliar, he is not a direct descendant of the Zhao family.

At the time of the announcement, the coordinate point was located at Yongcheng No. 1 Middle School, which was also very close.

It’s a very good recruitment target!

"Ah Hao." Zhao Jin shouted.

A bald man with a scarred face appeared at the door.

"Brother Jin, you called me?"

"Have you seen this boy named Zhao Hui? Go and bring him back to me. Make sure to keep him safe. I want him all alive."

The bald man named Ahao nodded and was about to walk out.

Zhao Jin stopped him again: "Hey, wait a minute, this is a special period, bring this guy with you."

Ahao's face was expressionless: "There's no need, Brother Jin, those bugs can't threaten me."

"You can take it with you if you are asked to take it. In addition, take ten yuan crystals with you. If there is an emergency, you can upgrade the level."

"good."

…

Inside the classroom.

"What the hell is this egg setting? You can only absorb ten yuan crystals a day?!"

Zhao Hui stared at the panel in front of him and cursed.

He originally thought that with the gathered Yuan Jing, he could rise to two or three levels no matter what.

Unexpectedly, after absorbing ten first-order elemental crystals, the system actually prompted that the absorption limit had been reached today?

How can a genius like him become bigger and stronger when his level is so suppressed? !

Seeing Zhao Hui's sudden rage, Wang Xuyan, who was serving him, rolled his eyes and said flatteringly:

"Brother Zhao, don't get angry. I think the system's leveling up is very friendly to you."

"Oh? Why?" Zhao Hui felt the comfort coming from his body and asked.

"Think about it, since no one can absorb a limited amount of Yuan Jing every day, it is equivalent to forcing people to be on the same starting line."

"And you have awakened the diamond-level ability, which is exactly what those wastes will never get!"

"You will always be ahead if the level is the same."

"Yes, so upgrading the restrictions will be beneficial to me."

After listening to Wang Xuyan's explanation, Zhao Hui's face showed joy and he threw forward the Yuan Jing in his hand that had not yet been absorbed.

"It's up to you to absorb these three Yuan Crystals. Follow me and you won't suffer any loss!"

Wang Xuyan hurriedly caught Yuan Jing, and the smile on her face became more and more flattering:

"Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

Ying Zi'an beside him looked a little gloomy when he saw that all Yuan Jing had fallen into Wang Xuyan's hands.

As if to show his presence, he said in a flattering manner:

"Brother Zhao, you are now the world's first Level 1 player. I saw in the announcement that there is an upgrade treasure box. Why don't you open it and let the brothers open their eyes?"

"Huh? Do you want to open your eyes?"

Zhao Hui said with a faint smile.

Ying Zian immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his back was wet with cold sweat:

"Uh, Brother Zhao, that's not what I meant..."

Before he finished speaking, he was hit on the shoulder by an arc of electricity, and his whole body flew backwards, smashing over a large number of desks.

"Wang Xuyan, cure him, don't let my 'brother' die like this."

Zhao Hui ordered coldly.

Wang Xuyan nodded obediently, and the next second, green light particles fell on Ying Zian's body.

The injury that was hit by the lightning bolt healed quickly, leaving no trace.

But the pain didn't go away so quickly.

"Ahem...Brother Zhao, I was wrong..."

Ying Zian stuttered after recovering and crawled towards Zhao Hui on his knees.

"Hmph, brother? If you are a dog, you should be aware of being a dog. Don't be clever!"

Zhao Hui spoke lightly, revealing a sense of arrogance that did not regard Ying Zian as a human being.

"Go and guard the door. I don't want to see your miserable face now!"

"Yes, yes! I am your dog, Brother Zhao. I will never dare to do it again next time, never dare to do it again..."

Ying Zian rolled and crawled out of the classroom.

"Hmph, I am in a good mood today, so I will open your eyes."

Zhao Hui seemed very satisfied with Ying Zian's attitude and showed the upgraded treasure box he got to everyone.

With a light click, the dark treasure box opened and burst into a dazzling red light!

"Fuck, what a dazzling light!"

"It's worthy of being opened by Zhao Hui, it must be a top-notch treasure!"

"Brother Hui is so awesome!"

The treasure box has not been fully opened yet, and the voices of praise have already covered one wave after another.

When the red light faded, everyone could see the object in the treasure box clearly.

It was a blood-red Yuan crystal.

"It turned out to be a second-level Yuan crystal!"

Tian Yuhao spoke first, and his voice was so loud that even Ying Zian outside the classroom could hear it clearly.

As the only player with the [Reconnaissance] ability under Zhao Hui, he had already made preparations for exploration before the treasure box was opened, so that he could show his role in the first place and flatter Zhao Hui.

"I thought Yuan crystals only came in black and gray, but I didn't expect to get red ones. Brother Zhao really opened our eyes!"

Wang Xuyan immediately added, with a trace of barely perceptible greed in her eyes.

She knew that Zhao Hui had reached the absorption limit this week, and if she worked hard, she might be able to get the second-level Yuan crystal.

Sure enough, after checking the properties of the second-order crystal, Zhao Hui's joy faded.

"It's just more experience points, no special properties, and I can't upgrade today, so it's useless to keep it with me. Why not..."

A beautiful figure appeared in Zhao Hui's mind.

If I can use this second-order crystal to exchange for Xu Xiao to join, it should be good.

That woman's ability is very useful, but it's a pity that she misunderstood my thundering methods at the beginning.

But it doesn't matter.

As for women, you can coax them with gifts and they will definitely be easily won!

Thinking of this, Zhao Hui couldn't help showing an obscene smile on his face.

A successful man like him, shouldn't there be a few more beautiful women standing behind him?

Just as Zhao Hui was enjoying a bright future, Ying Zian's voice suddenly came from the corridor outside the classroom:

"Brother Zhao, Lu Li is back."
