Chapter 54: I can’t watch anymore!

If experience points were allocated based on damage dealt, then LuLu’s case simply made no sense. Experience should have been gained based on who dealt the final blow.

Furthermore, this game didn’t completely depend on the number of accumulated zombie kills to level up. It also contained a hidden attribute similar to aptitude, growth value, etc. A person with aptitude could level up by killing a few zombies. A person without aptitude could only level up after killing many more zombies than other players.

LuLu was a female game broadcaster. In the first place, she must have loved playing games. Also, because her work was also related to playing many games, she definitely had aptitude in this field. However, Jiang JinYuan, who worked for San Xing Corporation, dealt with matters not related to the game. In addition, he himself was not fond of games, so his aptitude was very poor. Thus, after killing the same amount of zombies, he gained very little experience compared to both Liu Gan and LuLu.

The result earlier basically validated Liu Gan’s speculation. After killing the tenth zombie, Jiang JinYuan was finally promoted to level 2. Jiang JinYuan wasn’t a dedicated gamer, so this outcome didn’t really matter much to him. If Liu Gan had discovered that he had an aptitude like Jiang JinYuan’s, he would likely immediately look for a few thick trees and bash his own head in.

Jiang JinYuan’s aptitude was extremely poor. He also had little interest in killing zombies for experience points. Liu Gan no longer forced him, naturally not wanting to waste a large amount of time on him. He focused his energy on training LuLu instead, which honored the promise he made earlier to Pan Hua.

Liu Gan soon left through the district’s rear exit. After a few minutes, he brought along four zombies and made LuLu kill them after knocking them down.

After gaining a level, LuLu’s arm strength increased slightly. She chopped through the zombies’ necks with greater ease compared to before. Moreover, her hands did not even tremble this time due to her prior experience, and she finished killing the four zombies very quickly.

Liu Gan remembered that he himself leveled up from level 1 to level 2 after killing his first 3 zombies. Afterwards, he immediately killed a colossal zombie, which made him go from level 2 directly to level 4. Thus he wasn’t sure as to how many zombies needed to be killed to go from level 2 to level 3 and from level 3 to level 4.

LuLu killed four zombies and gained one level. It looked like her aptitude was not too different from his. Based on his past experience playing games, if going from level 1 to level 2 required 3-4 zombies, then Liu Gan guessed that going from level 2 to level 3 possibly required killing roughly 10-20 zombies.

Afterwards, Liu Gan ran out no less than five more times. After bringing back twenty zombies for LuLu to cut down, LuLu again experienced a feverish sensation throughout her body. Her alloy watch also showed that she leveled up from level 2 to level 3. Apparently with her aptitude, going from level 2 to level 3 required killing at least over 20 ordinary zombies.

“Do you feel that your strength has increased a great deal compared to before? “ Liu Gan asked LuLu.

“Yes.” LuLu waved the short axe. When she first started, she used both hands to barely lift the short axe. Her arms would ache painfully after waving it a few times, and she would have to grit her teeth just to continue.

But upon reaching level 2, she no longer needed to expend a lot of energy to wave the axe with both hands. She also did not feel as tired as before. Now that she was level 3, she could lightly wave the short axe with one hand. This caused her to be amazed, and she seemed more excited than before.

In a post-apocalyptic world, the most important thing was to have the ability to survive. If it wasn’t for Liu Gan using this method of cheating to help her, she definitely would not have any way to kill zombies to reach level 3. Only by increasing one’s level and strength would a person have the confidence to not lose one’s head out of fear like before when confronting zombies.

“Good, let’s move to actual combat training.” Liu Gan once again rushed out of the district’s rear exit. This time he brought along a zombie, but he did not knock it down. Instead, he chopped off both its arms, and had LuLu fight it.
