Inside the data research institute at Japan's No. 4 Landing Gate, chaos reigned at the moment.

After learning that Yamada had been killed by a Huaxia rookie, Officer Kitajima was informed ten minutes later that Kitaike and Nagafuji had also been killed.

The operation targeting Huaxia's No. 18 Landing Gate encountered an unprecedented situation.

"They said the Level 4 smugglers were completely powerless against that Huaxia young man. Even Level 5 smuggler Ido was directly repelled by him." A subordinate brought back the latest report.

"They also said that guy likes to use a special weapon, which looks a bit like… the steel spikes of a venomous wild boar, coated with deadly poison. Moreover, he always employs extremely cruel methods, driving the spikes into the faces of his victims."

"The mental state of the three victims is currently terrible. Yamada has been shouting, 'Devil, devil, he's a devil!' non-stop."

As the subordinate's report continued, Kitajima Ichiro's face grew darker and darker.

"How is this possible? Ido's agility reached 18 points, already the peak of a Level 5 non-combat profession. What exactly is that guy's profession?"

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

"But how could a high-level Martial Disciple or Soldier possibly enter the trial zone?"

Meanwhile, at the Huaxia River City No. 18 Landing Gate's data research institute...

Wei Ying had spent the night monitoring this group of rookies.

By their estimates, the smugglers would launch an even larger-scale operation by morning.

However, things took a strange turn come morning.

From 8:00 AM onward, all rookie casualties were exclusively caused by wild beasts. An hour had passed, yet there was no movement from the smugglers.

"Old Li, what's going on?" Wei Ying sipped his tea, suppressing his surprise, and asked.

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

On the big screen, two flashing dots in the red zone indicated that they were still inside the trial area.

"This… I don't know either. But Nuannuan's data wristband sent back several data sets. From the data, it assessed the attributes of three Level 4 smugglers and one Level 5 smuggler."

"There was also information on a skinning dagger, likely a weapon carried by the smugglers. But strangely, she even queried the trading records for that weapon."

Su Lanlan frowned deeply. Her sister, in such a critical situation, was checking weapon prices?

Since when did Nuannuan care so much about money?

Wei Ying narrowed his eyes. "So, Nuannuan encountered four smugglers… Perhaps I'm overthinking, but why are they still alive?"

This question stumped everyone present—researchers and officers alike.

The situation defied logic and couldn't be explained...

Seeing no one answering, Wei Ying lowered his head, closed his eyes, rubbed his temple, and sighed. "It's not your fault you can't answer. Even I can't figure it out…"

Perhaps he was just too tired—his brain wasn't working anymore.

Just as Wei Ying took another sip of tea to refresh himself, a researcher suddenly stood up and shouted, "Director, Su Nuannuan's wristband has sent back new data."

"What data?" Old Li asked urgently.

"She, she…"

"She what? Spit it OUT!" Old Li demanded impatiently.

"Director, there are five data sets, four of which can be inferred as attributes of Level 4 smugglers."

"They encountered more smugglers?" Old Li immediately grew nervous.

The researcher quickly skimmed past that, as if the truly shocking part wasn't these four data sets.

"There's one more set of data—a set of exact base attributes, not assessed values: Strength 3, Agility 6, Constitution 5, Spirit 10."

"Activate profession skill Benevolent Healer: Increase medication healing effects by 20%, success rate of potion crafting by 30%, and medication activation speed by 20%."

"When treating critically injured patients, it allows sacrificing one's physical strength to delay the patient's death."

"Judging from Su Nuannuan's profession and attributes, this data aligns with her post-upgrade attribute changes… I deduce that Su Nuannuan might have… leveled up." The researcher hesitated even as he voiced his own conclusions.

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

Everyone present was utterly dumbfounded.

Killing a beast in the rookie trial was plausible. Killing ten beasts was bold but still within reason. But leveling up? That was impossible.

Moreover, Su Nuannuan's data wristband hadn't previously recorded any kills.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Lu Jun suddenly said to Wei Ying, "Director, is it possible… I'm just speculating based on the current situation… Is it possible that Nuannuan and her teammate killed the smugglers?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Wei Ying, still recovering from his tea mishap, began coughing uncontrollably.

Su Lanlan immediately patted his back.

Wei Ying waved her off, "I'm fine, just choked a bit, cough cough."

"Lu Jun, you're saying Su Nuannuan and Jiang Kai killed the smugglers?"

Lu Jun felt helpless. He knew how absurd this sounded, but he had no choice but to explain.

"Nuannuan previously had no kill record, meaning her experience points were zero. To level up from Level 1 to Level 2 requires 100 experience points."

"So, I assume she gained 100 experience points instantly."

"In the rookie trial zone, no beast grants that much experience. The only possibility is that she looted the experience from someone else."

"And coincidentally, killing a Level 4 smuggler can yield between 0 to 100 experience points. This is likely how Nuannuan leveled up in an instant."

Lu Jun's explanation made the room fall silent.

His analysis matched all the data. The research institute, highly attuned to data accuracy, realized the direction of his conclusion.

At this moment, the same researcher exclaimed again, "Director, Su Nuannuan leveled up to Level 3."

The news nearly knocked Old Li out of his chair.

"What? She leveled up again?"

Su Lanlan was utterly petrified.

Leveling up in the rookie trial was shocking enough. But to level up twice in a row? Was her sister insane?

This chain of level-ups finally confirmed Lu Jun's hypothesis.

Su Nuannuan had just encountered smugglers, and the only way to gain 300 experience points so quickly was to loot them.

Sitting upright, Wei Ying stared at the screen, no longer caring who would first reach Huaxia City. His gaze was locked on the two flashing dots on the screen.

The exhaustion from the sleepless night vanished entirely at that moment.

"A barefoot doctor couldn't possibly kill smugglers. The key lies in that Jiang Kai."

"Rookies killing smugglers and getting addicted to it? What are you guys doing?"

Frustrated, Wei Ying exclaimed, "Jiang Kai! Can't you buy a better data wristband? You're suffocating us here."

Suddenly, Wei Ying turned to the still-dazed Su Lanlan. "Su Lanlan, I want a full report on this Jiang Kai. The more detailed, the better."
