Chapter 4: Should I Keep a Low Profile?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Liu Chuan woke up, he was woken up by a bunch of notifications from the system.

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. Current level: Level-2.]

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up…]

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. Current level: Level-6.]

[Congratulations to the host. Your Spiritual Servant ‘Dogshit’ has leveled up. Current level: Level-12.]

[System is upgrading…]

[System upgrade complete…]

Liu Chuan couldn’t be bothered to check if the system had new functions after it leveled up. He quickly got up, wanting to see how Wang Meng was doing.

The moment he moved, Liu Chuan felt that his body had become much lighter and stronger after his level had increased. He would not have been able to know this if he had not moved.

Of course, Liu Chuan didn’t have the time to feel his strength right now. He quickly walked over to Wang Meng’s side and checked his condition. He found that Wang Meng was only asleep and nothing else.

Seeing that Wang Meng was fine, Liu Chuan heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he was fine.

“Little Meng, wake up! Wake up! Wake up and pee!”

Liu Chuan squatted next to Wang Meng and looked at him lying on his back. He reached out and patted Wang Meng’s large, black face.

“Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! Why are you using so much strength? Don’t ruin my handsome face!” Wang Meng shouted when he woke up.

Nothing happened to Wang Meng. He had only fainted, so he woke up naturally when he felt the pain.

Liu Chuan smiled and said, “I’m just afraid that something happened to you. Use some strength. I definitely don’t really want to slap you.”

“Bah, you’re just jealous of my handsome looks.”

“Forget about it. You’re practically a dung beetle wearing a mask.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’re shameless.”

Wang Meng was speechless.

“Stop bullshitting. Take a look at these. What are these?”

Liu Chuan stopped chatting and looked at the things scattered around them.

“F*ck, these are the crystals dropped by dimensional creatures. We’re rich. Little Chuan, quickly pick them up.” Wang Meng was born and raised in this world, so he was more knowledgeable than Liu Chuan. Thus, he immediately discovered what they were.

Seeing that these items were useful, Liu Chuan joined in to pick up the treasures.

“Hurry up, let’s leave after we’re done picking them up. There’s something strange about this place,” Liu Chuan warned Wang Meng as he picked the crystals up. It should be known that they had fainted for no reason just now. Furthermore, the sight of the countless soul flames covering the sky was truly too terrifying.

The two of them sped up and stuffed their backpacks full. It was a great harvest.

“Come, let’s go out immediately,” said Liu Chuan.

The two of them ran all the way to the outskirts of the ancient city. They realized that the people outside did not seem to be affected, unlike the two of them who saw the horrifying scene. No one else fainted either.

Liu Chuan judged that they hadn’t been unconscious for long. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to look at the time on his phone. Instead, after entering the dimensional zone, these ordinary electronic products began to lose their effects.

Before long, the two of them arrived at the city gate. Just like when they came in, they simply walked out.

Although this was the second time he was walking through this dimensional tunnel, he still felt dizzy. He didn’t expect that after so many years of not feeling carsick or seasick, he would finally feel dizzy.

“Little Chuan, should we report what just happened to the soldiers from the Federation?” Wang Meng whispered to Liu Chuan after coming out.

Liu Chuan was also thinking about this problem. However, the two of them were not injured and had even obtained a lot of benefits. Furthermore, they could not tell the soldiers exactly what had happened.

After thinking about it, Liu Chuan felt that it was better to report this matter.

Unexpectedly, these soldiers did not pay much attention to what Liu Chuan and Wang Meng had said. They only said that they understood and would report it. They also mentioned that similar things had happened before.

Liu Chuan had no choice. He had said everything he needed to say, so he could only return home with Wang Meng.

After getting out of the car, Liu Chuan said to Wang Meng, “Little Meng, come to my house. It’s more convenient if there’s no one around.”

“Alright, let’s go.” Wang Meng was also a little excited.

When they arrived at Liu Chuan’s house, Liu Chuan closed the door and windows. Then, the two of them began to prepare to split the treasures.

“Little Chuan, there’s nothing much to say about our relationship. Half of the crystals will be mine, and the other half will be yours.”

“Sure.”

Liu Chuan naturally had no objections.

There were a total of 59 crystals and one pearl. The crystals came in all sorts of colors, with many white ones.

As Wang Meng distributed the crystals, he explained to Liu Chuan that these crystals could be absorbed to increase one’s physical attributes. However, if one’s physical attributes were too high, these crystals would be useless.

After all, they were just some low-level attribute crystals. Of course, selling them would provide them a good income.

“I’ll give this pearl to you. I don’t know what use it has, but I don’t need such fancy things anyway.” Wang Meng saw that there was only one bead, and threw it to Liu Chuan without thinking.

Liu Chuan took it with a smile and didn’t say much. He happened to be a little interested in this pearl and didn’t know if it would be of any use.

He held the pearl in his hand and examined it. The pearl was not big and was about the same size as a quail egg. It was transparent and there seemed to be red clouds lingering within it. It did not look ordinary.

“I don’t know why, but I’m a little tired today. I’m going back to rest.” Wang Meng stayed at Liu Chuan’s house for a while before leaving.

Liu Chuan didn’t ask him to stay. After all, he was also curious about his system.

After Wang Meng left, he couldn’t wait to open the system.

Name: Liu Chuan.

Gender: Male.

Strength: 80.

Constitution: 80.

Speed: 70.

Level: Level-6.

Cultivation Technique: None.

Spirit Servant: Dogshit (Wolf King Puppy). Level: Level-12.

After the system leveled up, Liu Chuan could finally see his own physical attributes. What made him even happier was that his previous physical attributes were extremely low. Now, his attributes had been greatly enhanced.

It couldn’t be helped. After all, Liu Chuan was an ordinary high school student who had transmigrated. He studied every day. Furthermore, he didn’t care much about physical training in the past, so his physical fitness could only be like this.

Just as he was about to summon Dogshit to try it out, he saw a system notification.

[Spirit Servant ‘Dogshit’ has expended too much energy and cannot be summoned for the time being.]

It was obvious that Dogshit expended too much energy to protect the two of them after they fainted.

This also allowed Liu Chuan to learn that teaming up to level up was possible. It was really impressive.

[A Soul Pearl has been discovered. Would you like to equip it?]

At this moment, the system sent another notification.

A Soul Pearl? What was that? Liu Chuan was still puzzled when he suddenly remembered the mysterious pearl in his pocket.

Liu Chuan touched his chin and pondered for two seconds before choosing to equip the Soul Pearl.

In the blink of an eye, the Soul Pearl turned transparent and disappeared. At the same time, Liu Chuan felt a stream of clear energy flow through his brain. He checked his attributes again and found that they had changed again.

Name: Liu Chuan.

Gender: Male.

Strength: 95.

Constitution: 92.

Speed: 87.

Soul Power: 120.

Level: Level-6.

One had to understand that normal people didn’t have soul power. Liu Chuan guessed that his soul power was related to his Spirit Servant, so he would have to slowly figure out how it worked later.

After checking the system, Liu Chuan wanted to see if he could absorb the crystals he had just picked up.

[A Soul Power Crystal has been discovered. The host’s soul power attribute is too high and the crystal cannot be absorbed.]

Liu Chuan tried using the other crystals and realized that they could not be absorbed. Oh well. He had been happy for nothing. He picked up a bunch of crystals and thought that they were a pile of treasures, but he could not use them now.

At this moment, Liu Chuan realized that there was a notification on his phone.

He opened it and saw that his classmates were discussing something. He opened the group and saw a new announcement on the noticeboard.

“Next week, the school will conduct a mock test to check everyone’s skills before the martial arts exam. We hope that the students are prepared.”

The students in the group exploded. Some were worried, some were confident, and some were indifferent.

Meanwhile, Liu Chuan wondered if he should keep a low profile.

After all, his current stats were quite strong. Would it be bad if he tried to show off…

“Sigh, I’m a low-key person..”
