After several minutes, a dense black orb escaped out of the Variant Zombie and into the body of Xue Jian. Xue Jian felt a burning sensation that was more intense than ever before; it was his first time experiencing this. At the same time, his alloy wrist watch also indicated that his level had changed from level 4 to level 5. There was also an ability in the status that wasn’t there before. It was called [Trueshot Aura].
Frequent players would immediately understand the ability based on the name. It is a classical definition of boosting the strength, agility and ability power attributes. After releasing the ability, those nearby Xue Jian could feel a small increase in offensive and defensive, Xue Jian was like a walking beacon of power that radiated outward from his body.
Xue Jian tried to set a particular target to release his energy on, but was unable to do so. When he tried to release it upon himself, it spread outward from his body and the nearby players within several meters felt the boost. For the next 15 minutes within the beacon, physical attributes, speed, and senses had all increased.
The [Trueshot Aura] ability was quite useful in helping in team fights. Xue Jian’s ability’s true potential laid in raising overall team offenses. Regardless if it was against other future organized groups or against corpse tides, it would certainly be useful.
“Congratulations on entering the realms of becoming a strong player!” Zhang ShengLi, Wang DeCheng, and other squad leaders walked over to greet Xue Jian.
“Oh it’s nothing, I relied on Elder Liu’s special care! Thank you brothers, from now on I will obey Elder Liu’s every command. His wishes are my wishes! Me and my squad will work hard for Elder Liu!” Xue Jian quickly expressed.
Elder Liu really needed a group of loyal subordinates and Xue Jian had internal conflict with himself to play that role. Being a loyal follower of Elder Liu, would guarantee survival since power is key. The rules of this world and the real world or other games are quite different, to be stubborn with internal turmoil means waiting to die. Xue Jian wasn’t the type of person to be stubborn with pride.
Zhao Meng, Thunder Martial, HuJun and Zhou JingJing, witnessed yet another level 5 player being cultivated by Elder Liu. They only felt disappointment in themselves. They’ve followed Liu Gan for a long time, way longer than Xue Jian. Even then, it didn’t seem to factor into being able to have a chance at leveling up. Seems like as more new players join, they will be push further behind in Liu Gan’s heart. At this rate, it seemed like any potential player would surpass them in ranking.
What a terrible life! They didn’t know when it would be their turn to level up. Even if the player chose to leave on their own accord, it would be impossible for them to survive so it would be nonsense to think they could kill a Variant Zombie by themselves.
So the best option is to continue waiting. As long as they stayed alive in the group, they believed that one day they could level up. It was already a proven fact, with Zhang Hua getting a chance to level up after gaining an achievement in helping to kill the Carapace Variant Zombie. There was hope! Just as long as they could stay alive.
Liu Gan investigated Xue Jian’s ability for awhile. It was no surprise to Liu Gan. Xue Jian had been a guild leader in his previous game, many players gathered by his side. So he must have some sort of leadership ability, and the awaken ability proves that there is a correlation between personality and ability.
