Inside the Data Research Institute at Login Gate No. 4 of the island nation, chaos reigned.

Officer Kitajima learned that Shan Tian had been killed by a newcomer from China, and just ten minutes later, he received news that Beijie and Nagafuji had also been killed!

The ambush operation against China's Login Gate No. 18 had encountered an unprecedented situation!

"They say the Level 4 stowaways were powerless against that young man from China! Even Level 5 Jinghu was repelled by that guy head-on!" reported a subordinate with the latest information.

"They also say that guy likes to use a special weapon, which looks a bit like... the steel quills of a Venomous Wild Boar, coated with poison, and he always brutally inserts the quills into the victims' faces!"

"The mental state of the three victims is currently very poor. Shan Tian keeps shouting 'devil, devil, he's a devil!'"

As the subordinate reported, Kitajima Ichiro's expression grew increasingly grim.

"How is this possible! Jinghu's agility reached 18 points, which is already the extreme value for a Level 5 non-combat profession. What profession is that guy?"

"Could he be a Level 5 Martial Apprentice or Soldier?"

"But how could high-level Martial Apprentices and Soldiers enter the trial area?!"

While Kitajima Ichiro was at a loss, inside the Data Research Institute at China's River City Login Gate No. 18.

Wei Ying had spent the night with this batch of newcomers.

It was estimated that by daytime, the stowaways would launch a larger-scale operation.

However, in the morning, things suddenly took a strange turn.

Starting from eight in the morning, all the fallen newcomers had died at the hands of beasts, and an hour had passed with no activity from the stowaways!

"Old Li, what's going on?" Wei Ying asked, taking a sip of tea to calm his surprise.

"And another thing, Nuannuan and that Jiang Kai haven't been eliminated yet?"

On the big screen, the two light spots in the red area were still flashing, indicating they were still in the trial area.

"Well... I'm not sure either, but Nuannuan's data watch sent back several sets of data. From the data, it seems to be the attribute assessments of three Level 4 stowaways and one Level 5 stowaway."

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

"There's also information about a skinning dagger, which should be a weapon carried by the stowaways. But strangely, she even checked the sales record of this weapon in the exchange."

Su Lanlan frowned. Her sister was checking the price of the opponent's weapon in such a critical situation?

Since when did Nuannuan care so much about money?

Wei Ying squinted, "So, Nuannuan and the others encountered four stowaways... It might be a bit much to say this, but why are they still surviving?"

This question stumped all the researchers and officers present.

The situation was too unreasonable, completely inexplicable...

Seeing no one answering his question, Wei Ying lowered his head, closed his eyes, rubbed his acupoint, and sighed, "I don't blame you for not being able to answer, I can't think of an answer myself..."

Maybe he was just too tired, his brain wasn't functioning.

Thinking of this, Wei Ying took another sip of strong tea to refresh himself.

At this moment, a researcher suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted, "Director, Su Nuannuan's watch sent back some data."

"What data?" Old Li asked urgently.

"She, she..."

"What do you mean 'she', just say it!" Old Li urged.

"Director, there are five sets of data in total, four of which can be inferred as the attributes of Level 4 stowaways."

"Encountered stowaways again?!" Old Li immediately tensed up.

The researcher quickly skipped this part, as if what he found hard to believe wasn't these four sets of data.

"There's another set of data, which is a set of basic attribute exact values, not assessment values: Strength 3, Agility 6, Physique 5, Mental Strength 10."

"Activated Professional Skill, Benevolent Healer, enhances drug treatment effect by 20%, increases potion success rate by 30%, and boosts drug efficacy speed by 20%."

"Treating severely injured patients can delay death time at the cost of one's own stamina."

"From Su Nuannuan's profession and attributes, this data matches the attribute changes after Su Nuannuan's upgrade... I infer that Su Nuannuan might have... leveled up!" The researcher said, hardly believing his own words.

When the words "leveled up" appeared, Wei Ying spat out his tea.

Everyone present was in shock.

In the Newcomer Trial, killing a beast was possible, and if daring enough, even killing ten beasts, but leveling up was impossible!

Moreover, Su Nuannuan's data watch had not previously transmitted any kill records.

After a few seconds of shock, Lu Jun suddenly said to Wei Ying, "Commander, is it possible... I'm just making a deduction based on the current situation, is it possible that Nuannuan and her teammate killed the stowaways?"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." Wei Ying, who had just spat out tea, was now coughing violently.

Su Lanlan quickly patted Wei Ying's back.

Wei Ying waved his hand, "I'm fine, just choked, cough, cough."

"Little Lu, did you just say Su Nuannuan and Jiang Kai killed the stowaways?"

Lu Jun was also helpless. He knew how absurd his statement was, but with the leader asking, he had to explain.

"Nuannuan previously had no kill record, meaning her experience was 0, and leveling from Level 1 to Level 2 requires 100 experience points."

"So I can understand that Nuannuan gained 100 experience points in an instant."

"In the entire Beginner's Trial area, no beast's experience could reach that much, there's only one possibility, to plunder others' experience."

"And coincidentally, if you kill a Level 4 player, you can plunder 0 to 100 experience points. I think this should be the only possibility for Nuannuan's instant level-up."

After Lu Jun's analysis, everyone fell silent.

Lu Jun's explanation matched all the data, and the people at the Data Research Institute were extremely sensitive to data, but the problem was, no one had thought in this direction.

At this moment, the researcher who spoke earlier exclaimed.

"Director, Su Nuannuan has leveled up to Level 3!"

Director Li almost fell off his seat.

"What? Leveled up again?"

Su Lanlan was completely petrified.

Leveling up in the Newcomer Trial was one thing, but leveling up twice in a row?

Has her sister gone mad!

However, this consecutive leveling up completely verified Lu Jun's speculation.

Su Nuannuan had just encountered stowaways, and only by plundering experience could she gain 300 experience points in such a short time!

Sitting in his seat, Wei Ying slowly stood up, looked at the teacup in his hand, and decisively put it down.

What he needed now wasn't strong tea; he was more awake than ever!

He walked to the bottom of the big screen, looking at the two light spots at the very back.

At this moment, he no longer cared who would reach China City first; his eyes were only on those two light spots.

The exhaustion of staying up all night suddenly vanished.

"A Barefoot Doctor can't possibly kill stowaways, so the issue lies with that Jiang Kai!"

"Newcomers killing stowaways, and getting addicted to it? What are you trying to do!"

Saying this, Wei Ying suddenly became angry.

"Jiang Kai, oh Jiang Kai, can't you just buy a better data watch! You're going to suffocate us all!"

Suddenly, Wei Ying turned to the still-dazed Su Lanlan and said, "Su Lanlan, I want detailed information on this Jiang Kai! The more detailed, the better!"
