Chapter 488: Night Attack! (4)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Returning to the classroom, Zhao Yu found it dark and gloomy, with the windows still barricaded with desks and chairs.
Having experienced a night attack by the Ape Claw Beasts, the students were uneasy, fearing more surprise attacks.
Half of the desks were gone, and many students had to sit on the floor.
Using the faint light filtering through the window, Zhao Yu glanced around the class. Compared to other classes, his class was in much better stage, missing only a few students.
The boys and girls were separated into two groups; the boys slept near the windows, and the girls near the aisle.
Zhao Yu noticed that his corner desk was still there, untouched.
As the strongest in the class, he enjoyed some privileges, a spontaneous act of respect from his classmates.
Without Zhao Yu, they didn’t know how many more might have perished.
Fewer students had died in their class, and many had helped move bodies in other classes, witnessing the horrific scenes, akin to hell.
This made them even more grateful for having a strong figure like Zhao Yu, which possibly saved them from the fate of other classes.
Upon reaching his corner of the classroom, Zhao Yu found Huo Li Juan sat near his seat.
“Why are you here?!” he asked.
“I’m scared!” Huo Li Juan reverted to speaking in a squeezed voice.
Although it was too dark to see clearly.
He ignored Huo Li Juan and simply sat down in his own seat.
It was too dark in the classroom. When he passed by Huo Li Juan, he accidentally bumped into her.
Huo Li Juan blushed, but fortunately, the class was dark, so no one saw their interaction.
The phone had run out of battery and shut down automatically. Zhao Yu had no idea of the time but guessed it was around three or four in the morning.
“I am now a three-times enhancer…” Huo Li Juan said excitedly beside him:
“The gap you created in our class has become our monster farming
opportunity…”
“Li Hong Wei is now a six-times enhancer, I am three times, Liu Si Yu once,
and Wang Zi Jun once…”
Clearly, Li Hong Wei had his own agenda, arranging things clearly among their small circle.
Most of the additional enhancers in the class were from their group.
However, perhaps because Zhao Yu had deliberately crippled a Ape Claw Beast and left it for Huo Li Juan to kill, Li Hong Wei paid more attention to her.
He didn’t know about the private deal between Zhao Yu and Wang Zi Jun and assumed that Zhao Yu was interested in Huo Li Juan. So, with his help, Huo Li Juan, initially a single-time enhancer, smoothly advanced to a three-times enhancer.
Aside from Zhao Yu and Li Hong Wei, Huo Li Juan had the most enhancements in the class.
“Hmm!”
Zhao Yu was distracted, his consciousness sinking into his head to check his gains from the battle.
He had been busy until now when he finally had some free time.
[Tiero: 105%]
[Current Tech Points: 102]
[Vision Range: 63 meters]
[Zero Coins: 63]
[Technique:]
[Lightfoot Technique: 2/100]
He had gained a lot this time, killing 25 ordinary Ape Claw Beasts and one elite.
In addition to a large amount of white energy, the Elite Ape Claw Beast dropped 10 zero-order coins, fewer than Zhao Yu had expected. The Lightfoot Technique also improved a bit in proficiency after the battle. Looking at the zero-order progress bar, Zhao Yu was surprised to see it had exceeded 100%.
-Super Brain, can I use a first-tier genetic enhancement potion now?!” [YOU can use it, and there’s no mortality rate with the current genetic enhancement potion…]
[However, it is recommended that the host maximizes his physical condition before using it to enhance the absorption effect of the first-tier genetic enhancement potion and gain a stronger physical quality increase.] After understanding the situation, Zhao Yu realized that 100% in zero-order was just the threshold for using a first-tier genetic enhancement potion. Moreover, when he reached 100% at that time, another electronic sound, not from the Super Brain but from this underground world, reminded him. The sound told him to go to the camp and use 50 zero-order coms for a first-tier enhancer job change.
As for this voice, Zhao Yu could only ignore it for now. He didn’t know the situation at the camp, and it was risky to go there alone with his current strength.
So, he planned to wait until his physical quality reached its limit.
According to the Super Brain’s hint, his current physical quality could reach up to 200% of zero-tier.
200% was the limit of his body, and using a first-tier potion then would not only be more effective but also greatly increase his strength after the breakthrough.
For now, it was obviously best to enhance to 200%, so Zhao Yu wasn’t in a hurry to use the first-tier genetic enhancement potion.
At the same time, he had an idea to keep a hundred tech points in reserve. In case he encountered an unbeatable enemy, he could instantly exchange for a first-tier genetic potion to strengthen himself.
The remaining tech points could all be invested in techniques!
This time, thanks to the Lightfoot Technique, his battles looked perilous but were actually under control. Otherwise, it would have been difficult.
[Would you like to spend 2 tech points to increase the Lightfoot Technique by 2 proficiency points?]
“Yes!”
Swipe!
[Tech Points: 100]
[Lightfoot Technique: 4/100]
In an instant, Zhao Yu felt the circulation of energy and blood in his body speed up.
With an additional 2 points in proficiency, the improvement didn’t seem as significant as he had imagined, just a bit faster than before.
But his combat ability had still increased slightly..
