"This is level one?"

Yun Mu stared at Lucy's luxurious attribute panel in a daze.

Like most games, no matter how powerful a character is in the plot, once they become a player's Partner, they start from the lowest level.

And as skill levels increase, the character's personal attributes will also grow, unlocking more skills and traits.

But!

Aren't your traits and skills a bit too many?

Yun Mu thought as she looked at Lucy, who was walking beside her.

"Is something wrong?" Noticing her gaze, Lucy tilted her head in confusion and asked.

"No, nothing." Yun Mu withdrew her gaze.

She was just feeling a bit inferior in her heart, thinking of her own trashy panel when she was level one.

Come to think of it, Lucy's character panel is missing a lot of things compared to hers.

Just like a monster's panel, there are no passive skills, and the active skills have no skill levels.

Is this to reduce the difficulty of cultivating the character for her?

That counts as a good thing, I suppose.

What she was actually most concerned about was the title before the profession.

What does 【Last Blood Clan】 mean, and that Transformation skill.

Aren't Blood Clan and Bloodline the same thing? If that's really the case, why would Lucy's title be 【Last Blood Clan】? Could it be that all other Blood Clan members are dead?

Yun Mu wanted to ask Lucy, but didn't know how to bring it up.

Besides, is the world inside the Dungeon a real world?

After thinking for a while, she decided to keep this matter to herself for now; when she was meant to understand, she would eventually understand.

The top priority, of course, is to level Lucy up!

She clicked on Lucy's character panel. Just like with the Bloodline Living Corpse, a pixelated figure of Lucy appeared below her character panel, looking quite cute.

Ignoring the luxurious traits and skill bar, Yun Mu flipped to the very bottom of the panel and found the upgrade button.

【Upgrade 【10 Gold Coins】】

Only 10 Gold Coins?

Who are you looking down on with such a small amount of money? Upgrade for me!

Gold Coins are meant to be spent, especially since this is money that must be spent to improve a teammate; she clicked without hesitation.

30, -65, -100, -120, -180, -240, -300.

【Your Gold Coins are insufficient, unable to upgrade!】

【You spent 1045 Gold Coins, 【Alchemist Lucy】 level increased to: lv9!】

【【Alchemist Lucy】's Maximum HP +9, Attack Power +5, Spell Strength +6, Dodge +1, Speed +1, Critical Hit +2%】

"The Gold Coins are all spent just like that?"

Yun Mu looked at her Gold Coin balance in astonishment and discovered that after the round of upgrades, she only had 117 left.

And to raise Lucy from lv9 to lv10, it would cost 500 Gold Coins.

"Alright, lv9 is not bad either."

There was no help for it; she could only close the Game Panel.

It's only one level lower than her, and besides, five hundred Gold Coins should be enough after fighting monsters twice.

"Oh right, can you help me restore the usage count of this?" After closing the Game Panel, Yun Mu suddenly thought of something and handed the Blood Brewing Bottle to Lucy.

"Of course I can, it's just..." Hearing her words, Lucy's expression was somewhat hesitant.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell the truth.

"Actually, the Blood Brew in the Blood Brewing Bottle is all brewed using my own blood... if you don't mind..."

Her fingers were slightly entwined as she spoke, and she looked a bit bashful.

【Lucy has confessed the source of the Blood Brew in the Blood Brewing Bottle to you, you decide】

【1: Who would turn down the blood of a young girl? (Lucy's HP -10%, Blood Brewing Bottle usage count restored, Lucy's favorability +3)】

【2: How disgusting, forget it. (Lucy's favorability -3)】

【3: I feel bad for her, so I refuse. (Lucy's favorability +5)】

"Hmph, who do you think I am?" Yun Mu looked at the Game System prompt in her mind and decisively chose option one.

Just kidding, Lucy clearly has the 【High-Speed Regeneration】 trait, so what is a mere 10% reduction in blood?

The Blood Brewing Bottle's usage count is restored, and Lucy's favorability also increases by +3; isn't this much better than option three, which only adds two more points of favorability?

Ahem, favorability can be farmed slowly later, but if I were to capsize in a future battle because the Blood Brewing Bottle had one less use, the loss would outweigh the gain.

"Re, really?"

After Yun Mu made her choice, a blush appeared on Lucy's face.

"For the Blood Clan, only a very important person can enjoy her blood. This tradition is called the 'Communion Drink', but this is just a Blood Clan tradition."

"I'm really happy that you don't hate it!" Lucy said very happily.

"Please wait for me a moment."

She picked up the Blood Brewing Bottle very cheerfully and ducked into a room deep inside the wooden house.

"Communion Drink?"

Yun Mu stood where she was, thinking about what Lucy had just said.

Hehehe, isn't she saying that I am a very important person to her? This can already be considered a disguised confession, oh my, how embarrassing.

Narcissistic girl, truly disgusting.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lucy returned from the room holding the Blood Brewing Bottle.

"Here you go." She handed the Blood Brewing Bottle to Yun Mu and said.

"Thank you." Yun Mu took the Blood Brewing Bottle from Lucy's hand and thanked her.

Using the Game System's inspection function to take a look, the usage count had indeed been fully restored.

"Let's move forward." She tucked the Blood Brewing Bottle back into the lining of her coat and said.

"Okay." Lucy followed behind her and nodded obediently.

The two of them moved along the ruined road and soon arrived at the intersection before entering the next area.

Only this time, there was only one option appearing before Yun Mu.

【Challenge Elite lv15】

It's an elite monster!

This is not the kind of ordinary small monster encountered the previous two times. Looking at the lv15 level mark behind the game option, Yun Mu took a deep breath.

Fortunately, this time, she is not alone.

Yun Mu looked at Lucy, who was following by her side, and smiled silently.

Let me, and my companion, see just how much skill you, this elite, have!

PS: Both the Blood Clan and the Dark Elf are kin of the Lady of the Dark, Dailianna, but due to an unknown disaster, all the Blood Clan have already perished.

This refers to the real world.
