Chapter 5: Level Breakthrough! Awakening [Elemental Affinity]!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Run at once!”
The entire Chongming Island was in chaos. Countless people were running on the streets.
Behind them, a dense wave of monsters surged forward like a black tide.
It was obvious that there were rats everywhere.
However, these were not ordinary rats.
Everyone could clearly see a line of small words above the rats’ heads. It was their level and name.
Some were level 1 rodents, while others were level 2 serrated rats.
It might be more appropriate to call them rat monsters.
Even excluding their tails, the rat monsters were over forty centimeters long, and they were incredibly strong.
If an adult male was bitten by four or five rat monsters at the same time, they would be dragged away at once.
Many people had already been swallowed by the rat tide. They disappeared instantly, and not even their bones remained.
Some of the visitors who were playing on the beach disappeared after being dragged into the sea by the rats.
“I’ll kill you!”
A roar came from the street.
A burly man flipped over a small sedan car beside him and crushed many of the rats.
He then took out a giant ax and held it tightly in his hand.
This strength of this burly man was extremely terrifying since he had allocated all of his Free Attribute Points to Strength. In addition, he originally had 2 Strength points.
Therefore, his Strength attribute had reached an astonishing amount of 12 points!
The ax in his hand was from a Gold treasure chest. It was a piece of green-quality equipment.
“Look! Isn’t that the boxing champion, Su Heng?”
Soon, someone in the crowd recognized him.
This burly man was Su Heng, who had won the championship at the Shanghai Gold Boxing Competition a few days ago. Everyone instantly felt more at ease since someone like him was present.
Su Heng waved the ax in his hand and crushed a few of the mouse monsters in front of him.
However, there were too many rats around him.
At the same time, more than ten rat monsters pounced over. He could not dodge them at all.
Soon, wounds left by the rat monsters appeared on Su Heng’s arms, thighs, and back. Blood flowed out and soaked his clothes.
Both rodents and serrated rats had sharp teeth that could easily cut through human skin.
However, Su Heng didn’t fall.
A circle of red light radiated from his body, and a maniacal expression formed on his face.
“Die!”
He slammed the ax into the ground forcefully.
Even the asphalt road cracked. Many of the rats were pulverized as well.
“This is the A-rank talent [Bloodthirsty Berserker]! After one is injured, it will increase their Strength and Agility!”
Soon enough, someone recognized Su Heng’s awakened talent.
“No wonder he’s so strong!”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. A-rank talents were extremely rare, not to mention a battle-type A-rank talent like [Bloodthirsty Berserker]. Its power was astonishing.
Even so, it was impossible for Su Heng to fight against so many rats alone.
He could kill one, he could kill ten…
But what if there were hundreds or thousands of rats?
More and more rat monsters ran out from the time-space cracks and attacked the city along the coast. Looking around, there was a black mass everywhere. They were not a force that human strength could fight against.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out.
Some of the Chongming police officers shot them with their pistols, but it did not work.
In the face of such a rat tide, no weapons could affect them unless there was a rocket launcher.
At that moment, a small man stood on the platform.
“I have obtained the A-rank talent [Danger Detection]! I can point out the safest path for everyone!”
“Don’t panic, listen to my command!”
”从这里一直向东,绕过新河公园,右拐到陈海公路,沿着上海长江大桥到达上海市区!”
“From here to the east, bypass Xinhe Park and turn right to Chen Hai Highway. Follow the Shanghai Yangtze Bridge to Shanghai City District!”
The chaotic crowd calmed down after they heard the man’s words.
No one wanted to die. Since there was hope for survival, they had to at least try.
Everyone followed the man’s words and ran toward the Yangtze River Bridge.
Since the allocation of the Initial Attribute Points, the constitution of humans was no longer the same as before.
Even if one only distributed their ten initial attribute points equally to the five attributes.
One would also have 2 Constitution points, 2 Strength points, 2 Agility points , 2 Spirit points, and 2 Luck points.
They would be immune to all diseases. Their strength would be comparable to a world-class weightlifter whereas their speed would no less than that of the renowned sprinter, Bolt. They would also have sharp senses and excellent luck.
This was the current average level of human beings. It was equivalent to a complete evolution!
After the gamification of the world, the benefits that humans received were not to be ignored even though there were dangers like space-time cracks.
…
“Flash Spell!”
Chen Feng growled as his body instantly materialized ten meters away.
He had allocated all of his Initial Attribute Points to Luck, so he was much weaker than others in Constitution, Strength and Agility.
Besides, Chen Feng was carrying his unconscious sister on his back. Therefore, he escaped at a slower speed.
Thankfully, he had the Flash Spell, which allowed him to not fall behind and remain in the middle of the escaping crowd.
However, he only had 1 Spirit point.
Therefore, every time he used Flash Spell, he would enter a 20-second cooldown period.
Chen Feng was getting more and more tired. After running more than a thousand meters with someone on his back, his body could not take it anymore.
Chen Feng opened the backpack interface and took out a bottle of Energy Serum and a bottle of Spirit Serum. He drank them all.
Only then did he feel like his body had recovered a little.
“I just need a little more experience points!”
Chen Feng looked at his experience bar. It had reached 99%. He was about to reach Level 1!
At this moment.
A loud bang rang out from the side. The railing of the Shanghai Yangtze Bridge instantly shattered, and a huge rat monster charged forward toward him.
Level 4 [Elite Giant Rat]
The rat was over four meters long. Its black eyes were filled with a sinister glint. It blocked everyone’s path.
“What kind of monster is this!?”
Someone in the crowd cried out in despair.
Along the way, many people were on the verge of breaking down. They cried out after seeing such a terrifying giant rat.
The small man who was responsible for leading the way had an extremely serious expression on his face.
The giant rat in front of him was the leader of the rat tide, and it was an elite monster.
The A-rank talent [Danger Detection] that he had awakened could feel the threat of death from the giant rat. If he took another step forward, he would probably die!
In such a despairing atmosphere, only Chen Feng managed to remain calm and rational.
He looked around and realized that there were several hundred people around him.
In reality, if all of them worked together, they might be a match for this rat monster. Unfortunately, these people had completely lost their ability to defend themselves due to their fear and panic.
It looked like he could only rely on himself.
“My mental power is running low.”
Chen Feng pursed his lips.
His continuous usage of the Flash Spell along the way was a huge burden on his mental power.
If Chen Feng used the Flash Spell again, he would probably faint.
Chen Feng looked at his experience bar again—99%.
“Use the Flash Spell again.”
After making up his mind, Chen Feng’s body flickered.
This time, a golden light burst out from his skin.
Level up!
Level 1!
As Chen Feng broke through to level 1, a line of words appeared in front of him.
“Congratulations to the player for reaching Level 1 and awakening your second talent—SSS-rank talent [Elemental Affinity]!”
