Chapter 22: A Beautiful Girl Doesn’t Swear

/Experience Points earned, conditions met, level up.

/Level LV.3 increases to LV.4, all values restored.

/Choose one of three gifts: ① Health Value Limit +10, Magic Value Limit +5 ② Health Value +10, Intelligence +1 ③ Magic Value Limit +5, Intelligence +1

When the lead wolf died, Lin Yu, who was already on the verge of leveling up, gained another level.

But maybe because the level of the lead wolf was the same as her current level, killing it did not bring much experience points.

Since the lead wolf only provided such a small amount of experience, killing the remaining Granville Wolves would definitely give even less.

You two each take five and finish off the remaining Granville Wolves.

Since the Weak Ants with lower qualification had no room to level up, she gave the kill order to the two D Qualification Weak Ants.

One by one, the Granville Wolves were killed with their heads held high.

In the end, the entire cave was filled with the strong smell of blood, with no other creatures alive except for the ant swarm.

It was only then that Lin Yu finally felt relieved enough to check her Status Panel.

In fact, she couldn’t check it at all.

Because of the many level-ups, the gift choice notification kept popping up.

/ Please choose your gift.

/ Please choose your gift.

/ Please choose your gift.

…

So annoying! I said not to bother me all the time, okay?

Anyway, let’s look at them one by one from the beginning…

Oh? The first gift has a skill in it, that’s great!

Let me see…

“Clean”: Makes a person, object, or environment clean, can remove stains and get rid of odors.

Oh! It’s a life skill!

Huh, wait… remove stains, eliminate odors… !!!

Wow, why couldn’t I have seen that first?!

/ Please choose your gift.

And you are still bothering me!

Alright, I choose the skill “Clean”

There’s no use regretting the past; I will look ahead!

Now, the terrible smell that is stuck on me can be completely removed.

And it’s a skill! It’s a skill that can be given to Weak Ants! With this skill, everyone will be a clean and good child.

Suddenly, I feel a bit like a mom, huh?

But considering personal survival, maybe choosing to strengthen abilities is a better choice… Surely some people might think that, right? Only those who havn’t experienced being splashed by that stuff can say such cold words. It’s really foul, you know?! If you want to know how bad it is… it’s really, really, REALLY bad!

Huh? You want a metaphor?

Doesn’t it just smell like sh*t? Wow, take that back! A beautiful girl wouldn’t say such vulgar things, like this or like that, and definitely wouldn’t say anything like that!

Hey, I got the “Clean” skill while talking to myself.

There’s no time to waste…

After using 5 Magic Value, the “Clean” skill successfully activated.

Lin Yu found that her body became clean and white again.

She sniffed her two front limbs.

The strange smell is finally gone.

She sighed with relief and continued to look at the next gift.

For the choices regarding the attributes of the gifts, she set a ranking for herself in her heart.

From low to high, they are:

Strength – Agility – Health Value – Abnormal State Resistance Ability/Elemental Magic Resistance Ability/Physical Resistance Ability – Magic Value – Intelligence – Skills.

Because she did not plan to personally fight and did not want to engage in close combat, she placed Strength and Agility at the bottom of her list.

If she didn’t fight, the chances of injury or even death would be much lower, so she prioritized Health Value and other resistances next.

Then, the priorities greater than the two above are Magic Value and Intelligence, as both can influence the effect of the skill “egg laying.” One affects the quantity, and the other may affect both quantity and quality, so she placed Intelligence above Magic Value.

Finally, the highest priority of all is Skills, for two reasons:

First, with the “Unique Skill – Queen Ant,” she can pass on the skills gained to the ant swarm, thus enhancing their strength.

Secondly, it is very difficult to acquire skills. If the skill isn’t completely useless, it should definitely be taken.

Following this order of priority, the next two gifts both chosen had the option “Magic Value Limit +5”.

Then next is… huh???

All three Gift Options are skills?

Is it just pure luck?

I see, I used to be really lucky in card games!

Okay, I lied. Even though I was born beautiful with fair skin, I am actually an unlucky person.

It can’t just be pure luck to get three skill options in a row, so… is it because I leveled up to Class D that I have this privilege?

Hmm, the more I think about it, the more possible it seems.

I then looked at the skill options:

① Acquire skill “Attack Enhancement” ② Acquire skill “Leadership” ③ Acquire skill “Sword Talent”

“Attack Enhancement”: The holder’s strength increases to 1.5 times, activating passively.

“Leadership”: When the skill is activated, it targets nearby allies and temporarily boosts all their attributes to some extent. The skill’s effect is influenced by the target’s class, but not affected by the attribute “Intelligence” or other factors.

“Sword Talent”: The ability to use swordsmanship skillfully.

Hmm, the effect of “Attack Enhancement” is to increase strength by 1.5 times… which means if I have 5 strength, having this skill will change it to 7.5 strength, but if I have 500 strength, it will become 750 strength?

But what if strength is 1 or even 0? That feels a bit tricky…

This skill is not very useful for me and the ant colony right now, but it should become more useful as we progress.

Next… Ta-da!

It’s “leadership”!

The wolf pack was able to defeat the big bear because of this skill!

The skill’s effect is pretty much what I guessed.

Being able to boost all abilities is almost cheating.

…Well, it is a temporary boost, and there are actually quite a few limits.

First of all, the skill uses up Magic Value while it’s active, and the more targets you choose, the more Magic Value it consumes. Plus, its effect isn’t influenced by “intelligence” or other factors…

There’s one more thing I’m curious about.

“Skill effects are influenced by the target’s class” — what does this mean?

Does it mean the higher the class, the greater the boost in abilities? Maybe I can test it later.

Yes, that’s right! I plan to choose the “Leadership” skill! It makes perfect sense!

The last skill?

Can I see its name?

It’s called Sword Talent.

So, how exactly can an ant use a sword?

Just imagining it used up all my brain cells, and I still can’t picture it. Even if I could use a sword, there is one very important question—

Where is the sword?!
