The night was as dark as ink. Mu Bei stood on the desolate street, the light of the torch illuminating his blood-stained face.
The large club in his hand was swung by Mu Bei at an astonishing speed, drawing deadly arcs in the air. Each strike was like a thunderbolt, taking the lives of one or even several Zombies.
On the empty street, the roars of the Zombies were like the whispers of death, the sound of skulls bursting was heavy and resolute, the snapping of broken limbs was sharp and piercing, and the splashing of blood was wet and muffled.
Prompts of gaining World Power came continuously. Mu Bei only felt his heart beating in his chest at an unprecedented speed, each beat accompanied by a craving for World Power.
The roars of Zombies came from all directions, and a Zombie tide gradually formed. As more and more Zombies joined, the surging tide of corpses caused the ground to tremble slightly.
These "wonderful" sounds formed a soul-stirring symphony, but Mu Bei, the conductor of the symphony, had no time to appreciate the results of his every strike.
He was completely focused on the battle, his eyes only on the World Power that kept flooding towards him.
With every precise and powerful strike, not a single Zombie was a match for Mu Bei.
He moved freely among the Zombie horde, and if he couldn't get through, he would forcefully crash through, like a tank rampaging on the battlefield.
Feeling the strong smell of decay and blood in the night wind, and the vibration that spread from his feet throughout his body, Mu Bei, who was in the middle of the Zombie horde, took off the riding helmet he was wearing and threw it away.
The defense provided by this piece of armor, which didn't even have a rating of 5, was now dispensable for Mu Bei.
But the obstruction to his vision was considerable, causing him to have to scrape off the flesh and blood splashed on the visor from time to time.
There was no way around it, this was how large striking weapons like the tank bone club were.
While killing Zombies in the horde, Mu Bei didn't forget to add points to himself.
This was the first time Mu Bei had added points during a battle, so he was very cautious, adding only 1 point at a time.
He did not add points to attributes that directly affected movement, such as Strength or Agility;
Nor did he add points to the Intelligence attribute, which involves the brain and thinking, and it was even less likely to be the Charm attribute;
Mu Bei finally chose the Constitution attribute, which had a relatively less obvious impact.
Consumed 0.4 ounces of World Power, Constitution +1.
"Not bad, no obvious feeling. Preliminary judgment, this will not affect the battle."
The feeling of improving the Constitution attribute was far less intuitive than improving the Strength or Agility attributes, not to mention only adding 1 point.
If it weren't for the Paradise's prompt, Mu Bei wouldn't necessarily have realized that his Constitution attribute had just increased during the battle.
"Continue, this time it's the Intelligence attribute."
Consumed 0.4 ounces of World Power, Intelligence +1.
After the Intelligence attribute increased, Mu Bei found that the speed of the Zombies around him suddenly slowed down a little.
In fact, the actual speed of these Zombies had not changed; what changed was Mu Bei's thinking speed.
When thinking speed is faster, the relative speed of the Zombies in one's eyes becomes slower.
"Next is Agility."
Consumed 0.5 ounces of World Power, Agility +1.
The level of Agility is related to the ability to control one's body.
After increasing by 1 point, Mu Bei's movements not only did not appear to be stuck or stiff due to inability to adapt, but immediately became more coordinated and fluid.
The large wolf tooth bone club he held in his right hand also became more comfortable to swing, and the efficiency of killing Zombies also increased accordingly.
"Not bad, it seems like I can increase the Agility attribute by 1 more point later."
'Then, finally, Strength.'
Consumed 0.4 ounces of World Power, Contractor Strength attribute +1.
The Paradise prompt came, and the explosive power of Mu Bei's muscles increased.
At this moment, Mu Bei, who was surrounded by Zombies, was breaking through the gap in the encirclement located to his front right.
When he rushed forward with vigorous strides, he collided with a Zombie because his leg muscles used a little too much force. This Zombie was sent flying on the spot, its life unknown, and Mu Bei's speed also slowed down as a result.
Thus, the gap in the encirclement was immediately filled by other Zombies, and Mu Bei failed to break through.
Mu Bei somewhat helplessly threw the torch in his right hand to the ground, changing from holding the club with one hand to holding it with both hands, and the speed of swinging the large club immediately increased by another level.
'This... I originally wanted to change to a place where I could stretch out a bit more to kill Zombies.'
'Next time I add Strength points, I need to be more cautious.'
...
In the continuous killing, Mu Bei's Agility attribute was the first to reach the 50-point mark.
At this time, a series of prompts came from the Paradise:
Detected that the Contractor's Agility attribute has reached 50 points, which has reached the 1st order attribute limit of a semi-dataized body, but the assessment for breaking through the 1st order attribute barrier of a semi-dataized body has not yet been completed.
About to determine the priority between the effect 2 of the Heaven Forsaker talent and the 1st order attribute barrier of a semi-dataized body.
Determining...
Determination complete, the priority of Heaven Forsaker talent effect 2 is greater than the 1st order attribute barrier of a semi-dataized body.
Contractor can continue to increase Agility attribute.
Warning! Doomsday Frenzy is a 1st order Derivative World, the attribute upper limit is 50 points. Any excess will be suppressed by the world's collective consciousness, and the intensity of the suppression will increase exponentially with the increase of the excess part.
