Chapter 38

In such harsh conditions, he never chose to give up, training desperately every day.

Since there was no way to improve his attribute values, he trained his combat skills to the extreme and cultivated his battle awareness!!

Since he had no extra skill books, he trained relentlessly the only two skills he mastered, timing their release perfectly!!

And precisely because of this, when the system appeared.

He knew his turning point had come!!

After the S+ talent Holy Angel's protection was granted, he did not become arrogant, but instead chose even more grueling training.

His daily task of 20 kilometers running was doubled, raised directly to 40 kilometers!

His daily task of 200 push-ups was similarly doubled, to 400 push-ups!

Fate must be held in one's own hands!

The system appeared suddenly; no one knows when it might vanish overnight!

That's why Zhou Yi must work even harder.

Even if the system disappears someday in the future, his strength will not regress.

Precisely because of this unwavering conviction, he was able today to slay the Minotaur King and break the record for the first person to clear the dungeon!

PS: Zhou Yi has finally become the provincial top scorer, taking his first step toward the summit. If you like this novel, please drop some flower tickets~~

Of course, donations would be even better~~.

Zhou Yi's goal is actually very simple.

As long as he and his younger sister Zhou Yun can survive, that's enough!

But sadly, in today's world.

Such a simple demand will collapse instantly without sufficient strength.

Just like his father, who died early.

He went on a trip, and by chance encountered a space teleportation channel opened from another world.

In an instant, he was buried beneath the surging tide of beasts.

With his father's death, a once-happy family lost its pillar and shattered completely.

"My heart is one, unshakable."

Zhou Yi's eyes glowed with determination.

He is still very weak now.

But he believes that one day, he will possess enough strength to cleanse the world!

When that time comes, everything blocking his path will be swept away!

【Ding, reward calculation complete, beginning distribution...】

Suddenly, a prompt sounded—Zhou Yi's dungeon-clearing rewards finally began to be distributed.

【Congratulations! You have received 5212 experience points.】

【Congratulations! You have received 20 free attribute points, 20 skill points.】

【Congratulations! You have received equipment 'Deepwood Belt (Gold☆)'】

【Congratulations! You have received equipment 'Deepwood Ring (Gold☆)'】

【Congratulations! You have received a random treasure chest.】

A string of notifications rang out in quick succession, leaving Zhou Yi overwhelmed.

Hum~~~

At that moment, a golden pillar descended from above the palace, landing directly before Zhou Yi.

When the light faded, two pieces of equipment and a wooden chest appeared on the ground before him.

They were the two Gold-rarity equipment pieces and the random treasure chest from the dungeon-clearing reward.

【Equipment: Deepwood Belt】

【Rarity: Gold☆】

【Attributes: Constitution +10, Strength +7】

【Level Requirement: Level 10 or higher】

【Race Restriction: None】

【Class Restriction: None】

【Deepwood Set Effect: 1. Two-piece set: While fighting in a forest, gain a continuous buff based on your Constitution, up to +3x Life Recovery Speed, +3x Stamina Recovery Speed, +3x Mana Recovery Speed.】

【Equipment: Deepwood Ring】

【Class Restriction: None】

【Deepwood Set Effect: 1. While fighting in a forest, gain a continuous buff based on your Constitution, up to +3x Life Recovery Speed, +3x Stamina Recovery Speed, +3x Mana Recovery Speed.】

【2. Four-piece set: While fighting in a forest, gain a continuous buff based on your Constitution, up to +6x Life Recovery Speed, +6x Stamina Recovery Speed, +6x Mana Recovery Speed.】

"No wonder it's Gold-rarity—these stat boosts are insane."

Zhou Yi sighed in awe.

Before this, the highest-rarity equipment he had ever owned was merely Iron-rarity.

The battle axe in his hands was even worse—only Bronze-rarity.

Moreover, this was a set with special effects.

In terms of value alone, it completely blew away his entire set of newbie gear.

According to Zhou Yi's estimate, these two pieces of equipment.

On the market, could sell for at least a million or more Zhongxia coins!

【Level: 10 (5412/800)】

【Free Attribute Points: 20】

【Skill Points: 20】

On the personal information panel, the experience and attribute/skill point rewards had already been distributed.

With the experience full, Zhou Yi didn't hesitate at all and directly chose to level up.

【Congratulations on leveling up to Level 11. You have gained 10 Free Attribute Points and 10 Skill Points.】

【Congratulations on leveling up to Level 12. You have gained 10 Free Attribute Points and 10 Skill Points.】

【Congratulations on leveling up to Level 13. You have gained 10 Free Attribute Points and 10 Skill Points.】

【Level: 13 (212/2500)】

He leveled up all the way to Level 13 before the accumulated experience on the level panel was completely consumed.

After leveling up, combined with the clear-reward bonuses.

Zhou Yi now had a full 50 Free Attribute Points and 50 Skill Points.

Following a balanced distribution, Zhou Yi allocated all his Free Attribute Points, but left the 50 Skill Points untouched.

With the college entrance exam finished, he was about to enter university.

By then, he would also learn other Holy Knight skills.

Saving some Skill Points as backup was also a good idea.

【Strength: 55, Constitution: 66, Agility: 53, Wisdom: 67】

After the Free Attribute Points were distributed, Zhou Yi clenched his fist, clearly feeling that his strength had grown considerably again.

Next, he equipped the two Gold-grade items 'Dense Forest Belt' and 'Dense Forest Ring' onto himself.
