Qi Chen opened his status.

[Speed: 3.2/10]

[Defense: 4/10]

[Attack: 3/10]

[Enhancement Points: 3]

Three enhancement points, all three-dimensional attributes +1!

The status was refreshed.

[Speed: 4.2/10]

[Defense: 5/10]

[Attack: 4/10]

[Enhancement Points: 0]

[Beep! The host’s three-dimensional attributes have all reached four and above. You can advance to level four. Do you want to advance?]

Advance!

Following Qi Chen’s command, his body started to change. He felt intense pain, but he couldn’t care less about the pain.

Qi Chen ran along the wall and quickly left the warehouse.

A fragrance wafted over. Qi Chen looked up. It was the kitchen!

Gururu—

The intense hunger after the advancement also surged.

Let’s hide in the kitchen for a while and eat something. Otherwise, I won’t be able to run out of the Liu family!

Qi Chen sneaked into the kitchen.

It was a good thing it was nighttime and there was no one in the kitchen. Otherwise, there would definitely be some trouble.

Boom!

Loud rumblings came from outside and Qi Chen’s heart trembled.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

“Bandits! Open fire and counterattack!”

Someone shouted from outside.

That scared me. So it’s none of my business.

Qi Chen let out a long sigh of relief before feeling frustrated.

If I’d known, I’d have eaten more. There must be plenty of good stuff in that chamber at the far end of the warehouse.

But when he heard the noise outside, he was relieved.

These intruders were very powerful. They were most likely here to snatch the Liu family’s secret treasure.

If he stayed in the warehouse and was found out, he would most likely be captured and cooked into an egg soup.

An egg can’t function properly on an empty stomach so who cares? Time to eat!

Even though there was gunfire and shouts outside, it did not affect Qi Chen’s appetite.

Eating was the most important thing.

When Qi Chen was full, the voices outside shifted to other parts of the Liu family’s residence.

The surroundings were much quieter.

Bang!

The door was pushed open.

Qi Chen turned around and stood quietly on the stove.

“I didn’t expect a small town’s family to have the ability to resist!”

A voice panted heavily.

“Shut up!”

The other person seemed to be very cautious. He entered the kitchen and started searching.

“No one.”

That person heaved a sigh of relief and sat down at the table to rest.

“Third, why do you think the Liu Clan want to attack the Liu family? After all, the Liu family is a branch of the Liu Clan, right?”

“Don’t ask too much. I heard from my boss that it was an elder of the Liu Clan who ordered us to destroy the Liu family in this town. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but don’t tell anyone!”

“Aiya, don’t worry. I know what to do. This operation will take away all the resources of the Liu family. It’s worth it. Look, this egg is quite big. We can bring it back to make egg soup.”

What the fuck?

Hearing their words, Qi Chen felt like he had been shot even when he was lying down. He knew that this couldn’t be settled peacefully.

Fortunately, these two people were only level-three, and he was already level-four. If he wanted to kill these two people, he only needed to launch a sneak attack to kill one of them!

One of them extended his hand towards Qi Chen. Qi Chen didn’t hold back and immediately attacked!

Shadow Ambush!

With a flicker of a shadow, blood spurted out from the man’s throat as he collapsed.

The other person saw this and was shocked. Before he could react, Qi Chen used another skill.

Under Qi Chen’s actions, the energy around the eggshell slashed across the other person’s neck and penetrated into his bones.

[Beep! The host has killed two level-three mutated beasts, obtained 1 enhancement point!]

After dealing with the two of them, Qi Chen decisively jumped out of the window and left.

Corpses were strewn all over the place and blood was flowing everywhere. It looked horrifying.

Qi Chen felt his hair stand on end. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Under the night sky, he rolled along the wall at an extremely fast speed.

Only when it was safe did Qi Chen check his status.

The skill option on his status was flashing non-stop.

[Skill 1: Shadow Ambush 40/500 (After proficiency reaches 500, it can be upgraded to Shadow Kill)]

[Skill 2: Immovable Mountain 0/200 (After proficiency reaches 200, it can be upgraded to Rebellion]

[Hidden Skill: Enrage (All attributes increased by 50% within one minute of activation. Cooldown: 72 hours)]

I’m still one level away from attaining a technique, and I have a new skill. I need to quickly increase my proficiency.

Qi Chen moved faster.

There’s a medicinal fragrance! He stopped and greed appeared in his eyes. The Liu family is going to be gone anyway. If there’s good stuff, I’ll be a bastard if I don’t eat it!

He turned and rolled towards the direction of the medicinal fragrance.

After turning a corner, he saw a black backpack and a head.

A young girl was crawling out of a hole in the wall.

She had just popped her head out.

And that medicinal fragrance came from the backpack in front of her.

“You bastard, what do you want?! Don’t touch my bag!”

Seeing that her backpack was bitten open by an egg, the young girl was first stunned, then she said in a panic while sobbing.

As she spoke, she tried to crawl out of the hole.

Qi Chen ignored her. He controlled the force of the Shadow Ambush and cut open the backpack. What he saw stunned him.

They were all kinds of treasures.

Qi Chen didn’t stand on ceremony with the girl and started eating.

The system’s voice kept ringing in his mind.

“Daughter! Quickly go! Your father and I can’t hold on much longer!”

“Uwuwuu… I’m leaving!”

The girl tried her best to climb out, but her butt was stuck in the hole in the wall.

“Brothers, I heard that Liu Fuxue of the Liu family is a great beauty. It’ll be great to bring her back!”

A bandit’s voice came from the other side of the wall.

“You dare touch my daughter! I’ll kill you!”

The voice inside the wall sounded extremely tragic.

Qi Chen paused.

Although he was not a kind person, he did not lose his humanity.

He looked up and met Liu Fuxue’s gaze.

Her eyes were filled with fear, despair and helplessness.

“After eating so much of your family’s food, I’ll help you out.”

Qi Chen rolled in front of Liu Fuxue and launched a Shadow Ambush. Five strikes quickly expanded the hole in the wall.

The girl climbed out crying.

“I saved your life so it’s not too much to eat some of your treasures, right?”

Qi Chen muttered softly. Although Liu Fuxue couldn’t hear him, he felt that it was reasonable.

[Prompt: Six hundred meters ahead, a level-ten mutated beast has appeared! Please take note to hide!]

My god, a level-ten.

Qi Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He picked up a fruit from the backpack and rolled away.

The big shot had appeared. He could not afford to offend him.

He had to protect his pitiful life first.

[Prompt: A level-three mutated beast is approaching quickly. Please take note!]

Qi Chen turned around. Why was Liu Fuxue following him as well?!

Forget it, it was more important to avoid those killers and bandits first.

The town wasn’t big, so Qi Chen soon arrived at the entrance.

[Prompt: Six hundred meters to the right, one level-five mutated beast has appeared!]

Qi Chen turned to look and saw a short grassland to his right. It was dark and quiet..
