Level Up in Earth Evolution

Li Wei nodded at the notification with a smile.

'It's really useful; now I know everything in the book, but it takes 100 MP to learn,' he thought and continued to look through the other books related to heroes.

[Ding,..] [Ding,..] [Ding,..]

The system notification chimed again and again as he continued to skim through the books, attracting the attention of everyone around.

Eliot looked at him with a frown. "Is he here to create trouble?" she murmured, dissatisfied when she saw him taking out the book, opening it, and placing it back.

If not for the fact that he had selected few books, she would've stopped him.

Li Xin and Elva were busy reading the books they had picked up from the shelf, so they didn't notice.

But Alice looked at him with puzzle, "Li Xin, look, what is your brother doing?" she said, pointing at him.

"Huh? Brother is just checking the books. If he wanted to, he will borrow it; if not, then not," Li Xin replied with guilty eyes. She knew what he was doing, but she couldn't reveal the secret and felt guilty lying to them.

Alice nodded, not noticing her guilty eyes, while Elva remained immersed in her book. Only Olivia noticed her guilty look but didn't say anything.

Li Wei skimmed through the books for a while when he suddenly stopped looking at the book in his hand. "Finally found it," he whispered to himself.

He wasn't just looking through books aimlessly; he was searching for information related to hero's parties.

He arranged the information in his mind.

'There are a lot of heroes who appeared in the history of these worlds. They also held a bonus like me, leveling up at a fast speed, and they did so with their party. It means they had a skill or something that allowed them to share their bonus experience,' he contemplated on this information.

He didn't want to feel Li Xin useless; that's why he was searching for this. As for the other members in his party, he didn't think too much because they might leave in the future.

Li Wei glanced at the other bookshelves.

'It's a pity I can't scan them all at once; it would've been easy,' he mused proceeding towards Eliot, who was glaring at him.

Li Wei hurriedly registered the five books to borrow, making his way towards his party.

"Let's go, we are heading to the All-in-one shop," Li Wei said, interrupting Elva and Li Xin, who were immersed in their books, and led them towards the shop.

"Brother Li! You are here, and with a new girl," Emily beamed happily when she saw him coming with a new girl.

'Wow, it looks like Brother Li's harem is growing at a fast rate. It's a pity I can't join his party, or it would be fun to watch him create his harem,' she thought, once again with otherworldly imagination.

Li Wei felt uncomfortable at her gaze but introduced Olivia to her, "She is our new party members Olivia, and she is Emily" he said. Both Olivia and Emily nodded at each other.

Following, the introduction, Emily inquired, "What do you want to buy, Brother Li?"

"I want to purchase few swords," Li Wei stated the reason for coming here.

Emily became puzzled. "Didn't you buy the sword last time or did someone change their profession?" she asked with a curious expression.

Li Wei shook his head. "No one changed their profession; the sword is for me because it was destroyed," he said with a shrug.

Emily nodded. "So, it was destroyed," she said, but suddenly, her eyes widened with shock.

"What?!! It was destroyed, how could it be?" she exclaimed loudly, attracting the attention of everyone inside the shop.

Li Wei smiled wryly, taking out the hilt of the destroyed sword. "Well, it kind of exploded because I put too much mana into it. Anyway, just give me three swords the same as this," he requested.

Emily looked at the hilt with a speechless expression and asked the servant girl to bring the requested swords.

"Just how much mana did you put into this?" she murmured with a sigh. This thing happened very rarely because only high-level people can do this.

Li Wei just shrugged at her and accepted the swords from the servant girl.

Sword (Level 30) ×3: 105,000 coins

Li Wei looked at the party behind him. "Do you guys want to buy anything?" he inquired, especially Olivia, the new member.

Olivia shook her head. "I don't need anything," she stated.

Li Wei nodded and paid for the swords. When Emily suddenly asked him, "Brother Li, when are you going to take me into your party and level me up?" she said with teary eyes.

Li Wei sighed at her acting, recalling Li Xin, who was also like her, cheerful and clingy. If not for the accident of their parents, she would still be smiling and playing jokes on him.

He retracted his thoughts and looked at Emily. "When your father agrees, I will take you to level up," he replied, not changing his mind.

"Umm," Emily glared at him with a pout but didn't say anything, knowing it was useless.

'But I will not give up. One day you will definitely take me to level up without my father's consent,' she thought again, thinking of otherworldly things.

Li Wei said goodbye to her with his party and headed towards the guild to take a quest.

He looked at the quest board with a disappointed face. "It's a pity there is still no dungeon quests, or it would be easier to level up," he mumbled.

Li Xin standing beside him nodded, agreeing with him. "Brother, what kind of quest are we going to take then?" she asked.

Li Wei responded, "With a lot of monsters. After all, they will give more XP, and it doesn't matter if the money is less," he said and turned towards Olivia.

"You don't have any problem with that, right?" he asked because she needed money to pay her debt.

Olivia shook her head. "No, you can take whatever quest you want," she replied with an emotionless tone and contemplated internally, 'Does it matter if I earn money or not? The outcome will be same no matter what I do.'

Li Wei nodded, but he saw emotions flash in her eyes.

'She should at least tell what her problems are,' he thought and looked at Elva and Alice.

They too didn't have any objections. He didn't hesitate and took the quest he found most suitable.

–––

Quest: Blue Boar Hunt

Objective: Eliminate all Blue Boars.

Level: 15

Difficulty: E+ | Time Limit: 4 days

Rewards: 250,000 coins | Failure Penalty: 20,000 coins

–––

After choosing the quest, Li Wei led his party to the quest location. Which wasn't too far, and they arrived within half an hour.

Li Wei surveyed the Blue Boars in front of him. "They don't look too strong, but there are about two hundred of them," he observed hiding behind the trees.

Elva looked at the boars with her skill. "They will escape if we attack too aggressively. They might look weak, but they are pretty good at running away," she mentioned her knowledge about them.

Li Wei nodded and looked at Olivia. "Your attributes are still low. I will transfer 100,000 coins. Use them to raise it, and don't worry about paying me back," he said, directly transferring the amount without giving her a chance to say anything.

Olivia sighed. "Okay, I will raise it," she said with a nod, raising her attributes with the coins he transferred.

–––

AP: 13 ↓ 100- | Coins: 100,000 ↓ 10,000-

Strength: 104 ↑ 16+ | Agility: 106 (8-) ↑ 16+

Intelligence: 155 (30+) ↑ 50+ | Endurance: 93 (35+) ↑ 18+

–––

Li Wei then turned his attention towards the rest of the party. "Okay, Li Xin, Alice, and Elva, you will be fighting those boars while me and Olivia will provide support from the back," he declared, making them a little stunned.

Li Xin looked at him confused. "Brother, why are you not fighting?" she asked, knowing he likes to fight.

Li Wei smiled at her. "Even though you can level up your skills, it doesn't mean you can use the full power of them. But if you fight with your skills regularly, then you can use them at full power, and it might even save your lives," he explained, the knowledge he got from the books.

"So you should be fighting often from now and make sure to use your Advanced skill too. As long as you master them, they will become a trump card for you," he concluded and looked at his party. "No one has a problem with this, right?" he inquired.

Everyone shook their heads in agreement. Li Xin, Elva, and Alice moved towards the Blue Boars ready to engage in combat, while Li Wei and Olivia took positions to provide their support.

But Li Xin and them didn't attack immediately, they waited for the Blue Boars to gather together so they could use area effect skills to slow them down.

Li Wei observed at them with a nod. "They are learning," he murmured softly, looking at Li Xin, who was calmly observing the Blue Boars.

He shifted his attention to Olivia beside him. "How much debt do you have?" he asked curiously.

Olivia looked at him with her emotionless sapphire eyes. Nevertheless, she still answered. "180 million," she stated.
