【Name: Lu Chen (Cursed)】
【Level: 5 (1080/10000)】
【Position: Overseer (500/10000)】
【Evolution Points: 16】
【Death Energy: 3100】
【Strength: 152】
【Agility: 146】
【Constitution: 152】
【Perception: 156】
【Free Attribute Points: 90】
After leveling up, Lu Chen's attribute panel saw a significant leap.
Not only did he have 90 free attribute points,
but his evolution points had also accumulated to 16!
"I wonder if this many evolution points are enough for me to upgrade White Bone Control to A-Level?"
Lu Chen stared at the panel, calculating in his heart.
Actually, besides White Bone Control,
Lu Chen also had two B-Level talents: Undead Curse and Onmyoji.
Although Undead Curse granted Lu Chen an immortal body,
that thing was a curse after all.
The higher the evolution, the more severe the curse, right?
As for Onmyoji, the 16 evolution points needed to evolve it to A-Level were enough for Lu Chen.
But this talent was full of Xiao Riben culture, which Lu Chen disliked greatly.
Therefore, considering everything,
he would prioritize upgrading White Bone Control later.
After all, Lu Chen was extremely compatible with Undead Talent,
and upgrading only required half the evolution points.
However, before that, there was something even more important to do.
Lu Chen's gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield before him.
Next to the enormous Gorgon corpse, lay the remains of over a dozen Giant Rock Armored Lizards.
"I need to have Little dumpling absorb these corpses first, after all, this Gorgon has a B-Level talent."
"Little dumpling, time to work,"
"Little dumpling?"
Lu Chen tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on the backpack behind him.
He saw the little guy lying sprawled out in the backpack, sleeping soundly.
A trace of drool hung from its mouth, and it looked soft and adorable.
Looking at Little dumpling's carefree appearance, Lu Chen couldn't help but show a smile.
"This little guy is really easygoing. Just now, his Master and the Gorgon were fighting fiercely, yet it could sleep so soundly..."
But Lu Chen thought about it again and realized it was true.
Given Little dumpling's race, although this Gorgon was a Boss-level creature,
in Little dumpling's eyes, it was no different from an ant.
It naturally didn't need to have any reservations and could sleep whenever it wanted.
"Little guy, now the life energy required for your Master to level up is also 10000 points, just like you. From now on, we can work hard to level up together."
Lu Chen reached out and gently stroked Little dumpling's soft head, his tone full of tenderness.
At this moment, Little dumpling's life energy had accumulated to:
【Level: 1 (5480/10000)】
It was only a little over 4000 points away from leveling up.
Lu Chen was full of curiosity.
He wondered what level Little dumpling needed to reach to leave the infant stage and enter the growth stage.
Once Little dumpling entered the growth stage, it would possess a certain level of combat ability.
By then, the sharpness of the divine North Sea Kraken would begin to show,
allowing the world to witness the true terror of the North Sea Kraken!
"Guji~"
With Lu Chen's gentle caress, Little dumpling lazily opened its eyes.
Its eight small tentacles stretched out, giving a lazy stretch.
"Guji!"
Feeling the surging life force within its body,
the originally sleepy Little dumpling instantly became energetic.
It leaped out of the backpack, climbed onto Lu Chen's cheek excitedly, and rubbed against him affectionately.
"Hahaha, alright, alright~"
After playing with Little dumpling for a while, Lu Chen turned and pointed at the Gorgon's corpse, instructing,
"Little dumpling, go absorb this big lizard in front of you. It's full of good stuff."
"Guji!"
Little dumpling obediently nodded.
Then it lightly jumped off Lu Chen and slowly crawled towards the Gorgon's corpse.
Just then, an angry roar broke the silence:
"Which bastard killed me just now! Your Grandpa Jack is back!"
The resurrected Jack rushed over from a distance, full of anger.
Seeing that the Gorgon had become a corpse, he immediately put his hands on his hips and spoke fiercely,
"Consider yourself lucky, you died quickly! Otherwise, your Grandpa Jack would have pulled out your tendons to make rubber bands!"
Lu Chen looked at Jack, a smile playing on his lips, noncommittal.
This Jack, although usually a clown,
was not ambiguous when fighting.
Thinking of this,
Lu Chen gently waved his right hand, and dense death energy surged into Jack's body like a tide.
Jack's strength immediately increased visibly.
Lu Chen had now leveled up to level five, and he could also increase the strength of his Undead subordinates to Tier 5 by consuming death energy.
"Holy crap, I evolved to Tier 5!"
Jack was both surprised and delighted.
He immediately understood that all of this was Lu Chen's grace.
He then excitedly hugged Lu Chen's thigh.
"Ahhh, Captain, for so many years after I was cursed, my strength has been suppressed at Tier 4."
"Now you've actually allowed me to break through, I love you so much, I want to give birth to little skeletons for you!"
As he spoke, Jack's half-rotted face was about to rub against Lu Chen's leg.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's eye twitched involuntarily.
He immediately kicked Jack away.
"Get lost!"
"Ouch~"
A moment later,
Little dumpling returned with a round belly, excitedly extending its soft little tentacles towards Lu Chen.
"Guji Guji~"
"Little dumpling is amazing~!"
Lu Chen reached out and held it.
Instantly, a surge of energy like a tide poured into Lu Chen's body.
【Ding! Successfully absorbed Demonized Gorgon (Tier 5)】
【You have obtained B-Level talent - Mountain Strength】
【Constitution increased by 12 points】
【Ding, you already have the Overseer template, unable to absorb dark marrow (absorbing dark marrow will grant the Boss template)】
"Hmm?"
Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.
dark marrow?
He then turned his gaze to the detailed explanation given by heaven's oracle.
He immediately understood.
"This so-called dark marrow is probably the reason why the Gorgon could evolve into a Boss-level creature..."
Little dumpling's SSS-Rank talent - Abyssal Absorption, which claimed to be able to absorb everything, truly lived up to its name.
It actually directly absorbed the dark marrow within the Gorgon's body.
It was just a pity,
for Lu Chen, who already possessed the Overseer template that surpassed the Boss template,
this dark marrow became useless.
"Little dumpling, spit it out. This thing is useless to us."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Little dumpling opened its small mouth.
"Wow~!"
A black energy, sticky like gel and emitting an evil aura, was spat out from its mouth and fell to the ground, like a small demonic entity that had condensed endless darkness and evil.
Jack, who was nearby, was sharp-eyed and immediately spotted the dark marrow spat out by Little dumpling.
A light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly came closer.
"Yo~, isn't this the legendary dark marrow? It's a rare treasure!"
But then, Jack shook his head again, a look of regret on his face.
"Alas, it's a good thing, but the side effects are too great. Eating this thing, I'm afraid you'll go crazy."
