Level Up in Earth Evolution

"180 million!" Li Wei exclaimed at Olivia with wide eyes. He just didn't understand how one could borrow so much money just by becoming a servant.

Olivia sighed, "I have my circumstances that allowed me to do that, and we should focus on supporting them," she replied, not explaining, and pointed towards Li Xin and the girls.

Li Wei did not continue further and looked at the girls who were about to engage in combat. He was keeping an eye on them even though he was talking to Olivia, and he wasn't worried because they have high attributes now.

Li Xin looked at the blue boars gathering together. "Alice, Elva, be ready. I will attack first," she said and, without hesitation, chanted "Frost Nova."

*Swoish* A freezing wave swept out from her staff, proceeding towards the blue boars at speed.

*Gaww!* The boars screamed angrily at the sudden attack and defended running away.

"Alice, Elva, now!" Li Xin shouted, seeing the boars covered by her attack.

"Elemental Arrow," Elva launched her long-ranged attack, followed by Alice, "Slash", who attacked the boars that came close to them.

*Oink!* The boars screamed in pain but didn't run away and attacked angrily because of their low damage attacks.

"Restoration Field," Olivia, who was beside Li Wei, chanted, aiming her Staff at Li Xin and the girls who were in combat.

*Shing* With a sound, white energy emerged and covered the battlefield, instantly creating a recovery field.

Li Xin, Alice, and Elva were surprised. "This field can recover our mana and health. Attack, don't let them escape," Elva reminded them and began attacking with arrows.

[Ding, Congratulations! You have learned the basic skill Restoration Field-5.]

Li Wei looked at the notification.

'It's really a good skill. This skill will allow party members inside the field to recover at two times the rate, but the skill level also needs to be high to work on a higher level, or the recovery will be low,' he pondered while keeping an eye on Li Xin and girls.

Noticing that they didn't need any help he turned his gaze towards Olivia, who was controlling the skill.

'I should also learn her special skills. It can come in handy if she is low on mana,' he thought and looked at Li Xin and the girls who were in combat with boars and asked them to use advance skills repeatedly.

Time passed slowly. One hour, two hours, three hours. But neither Li Wei nor Olivia intervened. They just watched them eliminate the boars swiftly with their combo attacks.

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

The notifications of XP gaining rang as they continued to eliminate the blue boars. When the number of boars became less than fifty, they finally started to run away in fear.

*Oink**Oink* With speed, they desperately made their escape.

Watching that the girls couldn't stop them, Li Wei finally made his move. "Frost Nova," he chanted, aiming his hands at the running boars.

*Whoosh* A strong freezing wave swept towards them, instantly freezing them in ice.

Seeing the boars frozen in ice, Li Xin and the girls didn't hesitate and attacked with their new advanced skills.

"Magic Storm," "Fatal Mirage," "Elemental Fusion Arrow." *Boom**shatter**swoosh**Oink* The booming sounds rang as they attacked with their advanced skills that they had mastered perfectly in three hours.

[Ding, Congratulations! You have mastered the following advanced skills: Magic Storm, Fatal Mirage, Elemental Fusion Arrow.]

"It's great that they mastered their advanced skills," Li Wei murmured, looking at the system prompt. He had asked them to train their skills; if not, they would've already done eliminating boars within an hour.

[Ding..] [Ding..]

The XP notifications started to ring again as they killed the boars with their regular skills.

Olivia, who was beside him, looked at him with a doubt, "Is it really okay to share the XP like this?" She asked because they both didn't do anything and were still earning XP, which might cause dissatisfaction among the party members.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it," Li Wei replied and didn't explain.

He was leveling up with this tiny amount of XP and could guarantee their safety. Not to mention, he was going to help them level up faster.

Olivia didn't say anything because he was the party leader, and she has to follow his commands due to the contract as long as they are not too much.

[Ding, Congratulations! Your level has increased to Level 21..]

Looking at the level-up prompt, Li Wei nodded and looked at Li Xin and the girls, who were done and started collecting the bodies without him saying anything.

"Let's go; we should help too," he said to Olivia and proceeded to help his party with her.

After everything was done, Li Xin let out a sigh of relief.

"Whew, it was too tiring to fight like this," she complained, looking at Li Wei, who told them to use advance skills again and again.

Li Wei patted her head gently. "It's for your good; I did this and look you got yourself too dirty with the blood stains" he said, looking at the girls who got blood on their outfits, even when fighting with long range attacks.

He shook his head and snapped his fingers. "Purification," he chanted.

*Shing* Suddenly, a white holy light enveloped his party, cleaning the dust and stains on their outfits.

"What!" Olivia exclaimed in a low voice because his purification skill has better effects than her own skill, it means his skill is higher level than hers. She found it a little unbelievable because only healers have this skill.

Elva and Alice looked at him with puzzled expressions because they didn't know when he got this skill. But they didn't inquire because everyone has their secrets.

Li Wei ignored their reactions. "Let's go; we should go back and eat first," he declared. They haven't eaten their meals yet, but it wasn't a problem for them because of their high attributes which were higher than normal persons.

Everyone agreed and headed back to the city. They submitted the quest and returned to the inn taking the rewards.

–––

Quest Reward: 250000 coins

Party Split: 250000÷5 = 50000 coins

Li Wei: 50000×10= 500000 coins | Li Xin: 50000 coins

Alice: 50000 coins | Elva: 50000 coins | Olivia: 50000 coins

–––

Inside the cafeteria of the inn, Li Wei looked at his party who were eating their food. "Did you guys buy the camping equipment and essential things you needed?" he asked for confirmation.

Elva and Alice nodded, "Yes, we prepared everything yesterday," Alice answered with a faint blush.

Li Wei then looked at Li Xin and Olivia. No matter how much guts he has, he can't prepare some things for them and could only ask indirectly.

Li Xin blushed a little, knowing that he was asking about their private clothes and other things. "I also bought the things you don't have to worry about it," she replied.

Yesterday, they all bought the things they needed inside the female shops while he was wandering other shops.

Olivia also answered after Li Xin, "I have everything I needed for a month," she said, indicating that she would need money to buy after a month.

Li Wei nodded, "Tomorrow we will head to the north area and will be staying there for around a week," he expressed his plans for next week that he came up.

–––

The area outside Valeria City is divided into:-

- West: F+ level area (Level 1-10)

- East: E level area (level 10-30)

- South: E+ Level area (level 30-50)

- North: D- Level area (level 11-50)

–––

Elva frowned a little after hearing his plans, "But in the North area, the number of monsters is greater and some might also attack in nights with great numbers," she expressed her concerns.

"I know there are many monsters there, but we can also level up faster, and as long as we stay inside the low-level areas, there will be no dangers. What I wanted to do is to gain experience in fighting against many monsters, and we will mostly stay in level 11-15 areas," Li Wei explained his plans to everyone.

What he said was true, but he was also hoping to level up faster and have them level up too because the highest level in this world was still unknown.

No one knows how high one can reach because they can't complete the SSS level class quest and get stuck at level 525. But he got the quest to kill the gods it means they are hiding inside the earth making him feel unsecure.

"Does anyone have objections?" he asked, looking at his party.

Everyone shook their heads and agreeing with him because they too wanted to level up.

Seeing everyone agreed, Li Wei nodded, "Okay, there is still time before night. You can buy whatever you want, but make sure not to fill your item box too much," he reminded them before continuing, "Everyone should rest well, because we will not be able to rest too much for a week," he concluded.

Li Xin wrinkled her nose cutely when she heard that they will not be able to rest but didn't object.

After the meal, they made their way back to their rooms and freshened up.

Li Wei sat on the bed, looking at his status. "I shouldn't increase anything for now," he murmured when he felt Li Xin leaning on him with a sleepy face.

He smiled, rubbing her head, "You can sleep," he said.

It was not night yet, but she was tired, probably from fighting for hours non-stop. Even though they recovered their mana, it would still cause fatigue if they kept using the skills again and again.

"Un," Li Xin nodded and laid on the bed, closing her eyes to sleep.

Li Wei then glanced at Olivia, who was sitting on her bed silently.

"You can tell me if you have something on your mind," he suggested again because her mood was a little better than yesterday.

Olivia looked at him, "What is the reason you are leveling up and trying to gain power?" she asked, ignoring his suggestion.

Li Wei became stunned at her sudden question but he answered without hesitation, "To protect her," he said, glancing at Li Xin.

Olivia didn't feel surprised, "Unlike you, I don't have any reason," she said without any expression and lied down on the bed not wanting to continue the conversation further.

Li Wei looked at her with a frown and felt puzzled.

'If she didn't have any reasons, then why did she have a debt?' he thought but decided not to ask any further.
