"Why aren't you going to find them?" Su Duoduo followed behind Ye Xin, happily munching on a lollipop.
"Shh~ Keep it down. Let's level up by killing monsters first, and then we'll go ask them."
Su Duoduo put down her lollipop, and her expression changed from a smile to being very serious. She walked in front of him and circled him, asking, "Have you taken the wrong medicine?"
"What's wrong? The playground/field is right in front of the boys' dormitory. Students are taking physical education there, so there won't be many Zombies. To the east, there's the No. 8 and No. 9 Teaching Buildings."
"You don't have a fever either?" Hesitating for a moment, Su Duoduo reached out her small hand and stood on her tiptoes to touch his forehead. Finding it normal, she became suspicious again.
"Zombies only have a very small chance of producing Crystal Cores, and they won't have any unless they mutate. What are you using to improve your strength? You might as well meditate to increase your mental power."
"Er..."
So that's how it is. Ye Xin's cultivation method is different from theirs. He only needs to kill monsters, while eating Zombie Crystal Cores, who knows what will happen.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to try it either. If it conflicted with the skills from Honor of Kings, it wouldn't be worth it.
After some thought, Ye Xin explained to Su Duoduo that his constitution was special. Otherwise, she might feel somewhat displeased if she was kept busy for nothing.
After all, she hadn't done the task Su Duomomo had assigned her for her own sake.
On the Playground/Field, there were hundreds of Zombies scattered around. They had once been young and beautiful boys and girls, but now they were monsters riddled with holes.
The stench of decay assailed them. Su Duoduo covered her nose with her hand, regretting coming here first.
"Hiss... Awoo..."
In the eyes of ordinary people, Zombies were terrifying, but for Ye Xin, they were undoubtedly a source of experience.
With Su Duoduo covering his back, he didn't have to worry about anything. He conjured the Fire Sword in his left hand and the Wind Sword in his right. Relying on the only exit from the dark forest path, he only needed to face the Zombies directly in front of him.
"Big bully, if you dare to lie to this princess, watch out, this princess will slice you."
Zombies simply couldn't be cleared out. Killing them offered little benefit, so Su Duoduo naturally didn't want to do this thankless task. She also had to restrain Ye Xin, allowing him to finish them off.
"Cover me, let's make this quick!"
Time was of the essence. He had to grow stronger quickly, and gaining the attribute boost of a Hero would undoubtedly be a qualitative leap.
Ye Xin charged into the Zombie horde like a whirlwind. Every few steps, he swung his sword, his movements sharp and precise, cleaving into the heads of the Zombies.
Zombies, spread across the vast Playground/Field, surged towards him like a tide, but he showed no fear. His eyes shone with resolute determination.
That near-death experience made him acutely aware of his own weakness.
He vowed to become strong, to become invincible. This world was far more complex than he had imagined.
The Zombies got closer and closer, but Ye Xin remained unmoved, his eyes tightly shut as he shouted.
"Wind Soul! Shake!"
A wave of wind erupted from him, spreading outwards and knocking the Zombies back, one after another, causing them to crash to the ground. A three-meter-wide vacuum zone formed around him.
He swiftly dashed towards the fallen Zombies, each swing of his sword sending up a spray of blood.
His agile movements allowed him to move freely through the Zombie horde, and a series of system rewards echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Kill Zombie +1, get Experience +2, Spirit +0.5] [Ding! Kill Zombie +1, get Experience +1, Spirit +1] [Ding! Kill Zombie +1, get Experience +1, Strength +0.5]
Congratulations, Summoner, you've leveled up to Level 4...Level 5...Level 6...
Leveling up three times in a row, the attribute growth bonus brought his combat power to 1600.
But that was far from enough, because he still couldn't see through Su Duoduo's attributes. Just how much combat power did a peak second-order possess?
"She doesn't need my help..."
The figure, dominating the battlefield with his imposing aura, deeply attracted Su Duoduo.
The moment Ye Xin's gaze turned and met hers, her face instantly flushed red, and her hands unconsciously clenched.
The nervous emotions made Su Duoduo a little flustered. She hurriedly lowered her head, trying to hide the waves in her heart, pretending to be nonchalant.
Ye Xin took less than half an hour to take down over a hundred Zombies on the Playground/Field, leaving him over four hundred kills short.
The four Teaching Buildings closest to him shared the Playground/Field with the five Teaching Buildings in front, separated by a fence.
"Let's go, silly girl, is there anything on the ground?"
"Ah~ Oh~ No..."
Su Duoduo quietly followed behind Ye Xin, secretly staring at his back.
Warmth, peace of mind.
She patted her flushed cheeks, trying to calm herself down.
"What's wrong?"
Little silly girl followed behind him, and Ye Xin always felt like she was up to something, a chill running down his spine.
"Nothing, just curious if you'll go berserk killing those Zombies?"
"Uh...you watch too many fantasy dramas."
Ye Xin hadn't actually thought about that question. Becoming a bloodthirsty demon was an addiction, but Ye Xin was very confident in his self-control.
"Then aren't you going back? Your clothes are so dirty. And your friends should be in the dorms. Not many Zombies around here, so if you shout, maybe someone will show up."
"No need. I have to speed things up before the Zombies evolve."
Besides the rapid drain on his stamina, his spirit wasn't depleted much, instead, he was gaining more and more.
If he didn't speed up, the experience in this area would probably be cleared out by the masked people. Otherwise, if their people cleaned it all up, it would be a waste of a bunch of experience.
Su Duoduo didn't stop him; she also wanted to see Ye Xin's true strength, but the playground was just a small appetizer, not enough to play with.
9th Teaching Building.
After a big battle, Ye Xin's body was clearly more tired.
With Su Duoduo's help, his level had risen to 18. The feeling was like riding a roller coaster.
Behind them were mountains of corpses, a lotus flower unsullied by the dust and a bloody mess, forming a stark contrast.
"Hurry up and go upstairs~ The ground is all wet..."
The blood in the corridor was almost submerging their shoes. Ye Xin sized himself up.
Only his hands were clean. He smiled slightly at Su Duoduo: "There's too much blood, don't get your little shoes wet. If you don't mind, I'll carry you."
"I mind! I mind very much! I'm leaving."
Su Duoduo pretended to be very disgusted, her small hand swiping in the air as she jumped upstairs, leaving Ye Xin with an embarrassed smile.
Although they had only been in contact for two days, their relationship was more like that of close siblings. Ye Xin really enjoyed the feeling of bickering with her while also protecting each other.
Everyone on the first and second floors had mutated, and he was twelve kills away from completing his objective.
"So slow!" Su Duoduo walked up the stairs, hands crossed, extremely dissatisfied with Ye Xin. She was secretly accompanying him to fight monsters, but he was still so slow.
"Ugh~ your ability is still convenient... I'm exhausted..." Ye Xin sat on the steps and wasn't in a hurry to kill the Zombies. He took out a bottle of mineral water from his space and drank it, pouring the rest over his head.
"Phew~ refreshing!"
"Refreshing your head! Hurry up, I'm letting them go!" Su Duoduo froze five Zombies in front to block, and then Ye Xin harvested them with his sword. Compared to the first floor, clearing the second and third floors was really easy.
His hands were numb from the killing. He smiled with satisfaction when the system upgrade notification arrived.
