Chapter 5 Upgrade
"To ensure fairness and justice, from now on, the real game will be fully handed over to the intelligent computer to run and deduce independently. No country, organization, or individual may view or read the game data for any reason. The five countries will supervise each other. In addition..."
Mo Lan logged off, took a look at the latest announcement, and then logged into the game again.
As expected, Mo Lan was in a state of death as soon as he came online. There were many traces next to his body, as if he had been held and rolled around for several times after death.
Before he could come back to life he saw the leopard coming over again, standing next to the corpse and scratching the body with its claws, leaving several marks.
"This leopard..."
Mo Lan frowned, aimed at the leopard's position, and pounced on it the moment it was resurrected.
But it was still a waste of time. He felt a gust of wind blowing and the leopard disappeared into the forest, but Mo Lan could feel that it had not left.
Standing there, Mo Lan had some anger between his brows, but in the end he could only look helpless.
Because he knew that he couldn't do anything about it and was just helpless and furious.
"I'll kill you sooner or later."
Mo Lan picked up a stone and smashed it on the wolf's body. The blood that had not yet coagulated splattered everywhere and a strong smell of blood wafted around.
But what surprised Mo Lan was that, unlike before, now even though the smell of blood was wafting around, no animal came near.
"Is it that the leopard is here and doesn't dare to come over?"
"That's not right. To be honest, with the leopard's skills, it shouldn't be discovered by other wild animals."
"Has this area been tacitly regarded as my territory, or has my status as a predator been recognized?"
"No way. I knew this method wouldn't last long, but I didn't expect it to work so quickly."
Mo Lan was helpless, but not too disappointed. He shook his head, stood up and walked towards where he had set up the noose.
Before I got close, I could hear the flapping of wings, accompanied by the chirping of birds.
Mo Lan smiled when he saw this. He looked over and saw a bird struggling desperately on the rope, with feathers flying all around it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a beautiful bird, it must be so cute to raise it."
Mo Lan gently held the bird, then squeezed it hard, and it snapped.
Experience +2
"Well, that's really little."
Mo Lan pulled out the trap with disgust, set in another place, and then walked to the next trap.
Soon all the traps were set, and three birds were caught, for a total of seven experience points. This efficiency seemed a bit slow to Mo Lan, but there was no better way at the moment, so he had to continue to roll up the hemp rope to set traps. He set fifteen traps in this area before he stopped. The hemp clothes on his body had become tattered and could barely cover his shame.
"We'll have to wait at least half a day here. How about I wander around the forest and see if I can try to seize other predators' territory and irritate them?"
Mo Lan smacked his lips and pondered, but when he walked to the stream, a sudden idea came to him.
"I'm stupid, aren't fish also weird? Hehe"
Mo Lan didn't hesitate and just did what he said. He took a piece of hemp rope from his clothes and wrapped it around his fingers. Then he tied a few knots at the other end and tied a small piece of meat to it.
The meat was thrown directly into the shallow water, and then the man squatted behind the grass and did not move.
Not long after, a big black fish with teeth all over it jumped out from the water plants and bit the meat directly. At the same time, Mo Lan pulled the rope hard.
The black fish held on to the meat tightly and refused to let go, falling directly onto the shore, where it was stabbed to death by Mo Lan's wolf fangs.
Experience +3
"pretty!"
Mo Lan showed a smug smile on his face and moved to another place to continue his hookless fishing skills.
At dawn the next day, Mo Lan, awakened by the alarm clock, went online to check the trap on time.
It was still the familiar death interface. I didn’t care and clicked on resurrection, checking the traps one by one.
"One, two, three, that's enough !"
The number on the ink cartridge reached one hundred again. Without hesitation, I immediately transferred it out and clicked to upgrade.
"Level increased, attribute panel opened."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white box popped up in front of Mo Lan.
"Name: Mo Lan
Grade 1
Occupation: None
Strength: 9
Constitution: 8
Agility: 10
Intelligence: 11
Charisma: 6
Free attribute points: 1
Specialties: None
"okokokok???"
Looking at the attribute panel, Mo Lan had several big question marks on his forehead.
"Six points of charm? Are you mistaken? This makes it feel unimmersive."
"How about a little glamour?"
Mo Lan rolled his eyes, but finally gave up this tempting idea.
"It's important to deal with the leopard first, add more strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Lan directly pointed out intelligence.
Intelligence +1!
"Forget it, we should have a long-term vision. It's just a leopard. I want to be a mage."
After saying that, Mo Lan closed the attribute panel and began to ponder.
It is quite refreshing to add attribute points, but after adding them you should think about how to solve the current problem.
After his intelligence attribute points reached 12, his thinking did become much quicker and his perception seemed to be enhanced as well, but this obviously could not be used to kill the leopard.
"The leopard's advantage lies in its speed. If I can restrain it, I may not be unable to kill it.
But how do you limit this speed? I can’t catch it at all.”
Mo Lan thought carefully.
Before, I had hoped to increase my speed after upgrading to suppress the leopard.
But his career planning decision made him give up this idea. Even if he upgraded again, he would definitely increase his intelligence, which is currently the highest attribute.
"There is no job change now, and there is no way to cash in on the increased intelligence. Moreover, it takes 200 experience points to level up now, which is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time."
"Are you really going to leave?"
Mo Lan frowned and thought that it was not that he had no way to get rid of it.
In fact, he has already determined that there must be a village or city near everyone's birthplace. As long as he enters the city, he can definitely get rid of the leopard.
But he was somewhat unwilling to escape like this.
Moreover, there has been no sign of supernatural powers on the forum so far. Either they have not been discovered, or the people who have discovered them have not spoken about them.
Either way it means that supernatural powers are quite rare among the player community.
And he had a vague feeling that killing the leopard that was related to the supernatural might allow him to become supernatural, or he could rely on the leopard's corpse to enter the supernatural circle and find other ways to become supernatural.
At this stage, mastering extraordinary powers can definitely make one of the few people at the top of the player pyramid, allowing him to establish an advantage in the early stages.
The significance of this made Mo Lan, who had just decided to become a professional player, unable to refuse.
He needs some results to prove, not only to his parents who want him to be successful, but also to give an explanation to himself.
If you can't achieve any results, give up as soon as possible. You will be responsible to your parents and yourself.
"It doesn't need to be restricted for a long time, as long as it can be restricted for a moment, then with my current reaction speed I should be able to attack the leopard, just for a moment, what should I do?"
Mo Lan looked down at the linen clothes that had been torn to tatters by the thread pulling, and finally shook his head.
Even if all the remaining hemp ropes were pulled out and woven into a net, it would not be able to control the leopard, as its claws could easily cut the ropes.
At this moment, Mo Lan suddenly remembered the leopard's actions when he died, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
“Got it!”
