3: Upgrade

【Cave Spider Lv0: The weakest spider in the Dungeon, slow-moving, slightly venomous, likes to wait for prey to come to it in its sleep, extremely friendly to newcomers.】

On the Dungeon wall, a tiny spider was quietly perched on its web, motionless.

“This is probably a welfare monster in the game.”

Liu Yang walked towards the Cave Spider with a smile.

A light slash of the blade easily dealt with it.

【You severed several stinging hairs of the Cave Spider with one strike, triggering the Second Kill skill. The Cave Spider has died.】

【Congratulations on killing the Cave Spider. You have obtained Cola 300ml x1, Milk 200ml x1, Steamed Bun 100g x1.】

“Holy crap, it really is a welfare monster. This drop rate is amazing.”

With more food acquired, Liu Yang was overjoyed.

At this moment, no one would complain about having too much food and water.

Besides, with only these few items, it wasn't exactly 'a lot'.

Continuing forward, 3 more ants died under Liu Yang's blade.

By now, the Second Kill skill had been triggered 7 times, consuming 70 Energy Points, leaving 30 points remaining.

This meant he could use it 3 more times.

Just as Liu Yang was about to move forward, the prompt before him made his stomach churn.

【Dungeon Bedbug Lv0: One of the ten most annoying Earth Palace Creatures for newcomers, fast, low yield, and releases a very unpleasant foul odor that lingers for a long time, even if killed in one hit, you cannot escape it.】

“If bedbugs in reality smell that bad, the Dungeon bedbugs must be on a perverted level, right?”

Liu Yang paused his steps and quietly retreated, afraid of startling it.

He changed direction.

Not long after, the tenth Earth Palace Creature, a Dungeon cockroach, died under Liu Yang's blade, and his Energy Points completely returned to 0.

【Experience points are full, level automatically increased.】

【Congratulations on leveling up. Your current level is Lv1.】

Two sounds rang out, and a faint light flashed from his body.

Liu Yang seemed to feel some changes in his body, but couldn't pinpoint what was different.

Then he quickly opened the status bar and looked at his Energy Points.

【Energy Points】: 0/120.

“Damn, logically speaking, when a character levels up, MP or similar values should recover at least a little, but this Survival Game is really stingy.”

Liu Yang had originally thought that after leveling up and his Energy Points were refilled, he could kill many more monsters and obtain more resources.

But reality did not go as he wished. After leveling up, his Energy Points were still a big fat 0, not recovering at all.

And with the Second Kill skill available, Liu Yang had no intention of directly confronting the Earth Palace Creatures for the time being.

He could only walk towards the wooden house.

At this moment, he also had the leisure to carefully examine his little Home.

【Crude Wooden Home (+): The lowest level of Home, possesses weak defense. To rest peacefully, please upgrade it as soon as possible.】

“Huh?”

Seeing the '+' sign after the information, Liu Yang reached out and tapped it.

【Next Upgrade Conditions: wood x20, iron block x4, wood spirit stone x1.】

“It requires quite a bit of wood, but it shouldn't be difficult to get.”

“Only four iron blocks, that's even simpler.”

“But that wood spirit stone... just by the name, I know it's a good thing, probably not easy to obtain.”

Liu Yang didn't think too much. He looked around; the light was even dimmer now.

Insufficient light meant reduced visibility, making it difficult to spot Earth Palace Creatures.

Liu Yang entered the wooden house and tightly closed the door.

Then he opened the inventory page to check his gains.

wood x3.

iron block x1.

Whole Wheat Bread 100g x1.

Mineral Water 550ml x1.

Cola 300ml x1.

Milk 200ml x1.

Steamed Bun 100g x1.

iron block x1.

Stone Material x2.

Fluorescent Grass x1.

Apart from the Cave Spider's big drop and the first two monsters dropping some food, the subsequent drops were all materials.

And each monster only dropped one item, so the drop rate was pitifully low.

Liu Yang took out the Fluorescent Grass.

【Fluorescent Grass: A common plant found in the Dungeon, emits a faint light, can be used for illumination, one plant can last for one day.】

It wasn't too dark yet, and the light emitted by the Fluorescent Grass was barely visible.

Understanding its use, and not needing it for now, Liu Yang put it away.

Then he took out a steamed bun and a bottle of mineral water and began to replenish his body's needs.

At the same time, he noticed the green text next to the inventory interface.

“15%?”

“Does this represent the capacity of the inventory?”

“With so few items, it already occupies almost 1/7. This capacity is too small, isn't it?”

Complaining aside, no matter how small the capacity, its function cannot be ignored.

Like the storage equipment in novels, with a thought, you can take things out and put them back in at will, which is incredibly convenient.

He then switched to the chat channel.

【Area Chat 968/968】

“This... did someone die? It's only been a short while.”

Looking at the current number, Liu Yang's pupils widened, and his heart pounded violently.

Thinking of the initial prompt, he didn't believe those people were sent back Home.

At the same time, he decided he needed to be more cautious and absolutely must not take risks.

If a person dies, it's truly over.

“This Survival Game is too unfriendly to fat people. I'm being dominated by Mosquitoes. Now the Mosquitoes are blocking my door. Is there any kind-hearted person who can come and save me?”

“I am a young woman aged eighteen, proficient in playing instruments and singing. If anyone can save me from this predicament, I am willing to repay with my body.”

“Friends, in my estimation, people in the same chat area should be in the same Initial Dungeon. I am in number 100086. Everyone can check theirs.

So, if we are lucky enough to meet, please don't quarrel. I hope everyone can work together and unite to overcome the difficulties.”

“I'm also in 100086.”

“Me, me too.”

Liu Yang directly skipped over the fat man's plea for help.

Whether he had the ability to save someone was one thing, but given the current situation, who could find where he was?

Unless someone explored that area, if they were kind-hearted, they might save his life.

If they didn't want to cause trouble, leaving him far behind was also possible.

As for the woman among them, looking at her heavily made-up photo, coupled with her talents, her profession was obvious.

There were no condoms at this time, so the risk factor soared.

As for the idea that people in the same chat area were in the same Initial Dungeon, Liu Yang had already suspected it.

Now hearing others report their Dungeon numbers one after another, he was certain.

As for cooperation...

“Beware of your own kind, beware of your own kind, beware of your own kind...”

The initial special warning still occasionally surfaced in his mind.

It's hard to gauge people's hearts!

When there were no other gains, Liu Yang switched to the World Chat.

【World Chat 4550815642/4550815642.】

“Oh, God, this Survival Game is truly amazing, I love it.”

“Is there a kind person who can give me some water? Even leftovers are fine.”

“The Dungeon Survival Game, this is a disaster for humanity. I call upon all capable people to help those in difficulty as much as possible. If you discover something, share it. If you have resources, support others. Our Korean ancestors said, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.”

“Where did this dog come from barking randomly? Discoveries are made by people risking their lives. Telling others is a kindness; even if they don't say anything, it's fine. If you want to know, go and fight for it yourself.”

“I support the person above, especially regarding resources and food. Everyone is in the same boat. We don't know what the future holds, nor do we know what dangers we will encounter. How can we have spare capacity to help others? So please, some clowns, do not morally blackmail.”

He had come to the World Chat full of expectation.

He had hoped to get more beneficial information, but he didn't expect to run into aWar of words(cursing match).

Although he was speechless, it was also great to have some excitement to watch during this crisis, just to relax.

Thinking this way, that 'Korean' could be considered to have accumulated boundless merit.

As time passed, night fell, and the outside plunged into darkness.

It was truly magical that the Dungeon could have a day and night cycle just like reality.

But this event was already strange and unpredictable, so anything bizarre could be accepted.

At most, he would just marvel at it.

Until late into the night.

Sleepiness came over him.

Liu Yang lay on the wooden floor and fell into a dream.

Inside the room, it was silent.

Only the Fluorescent Grass was still emitting a faint light.
