Chapter 2 - Beginning the Evolution
“Crack!”
“Critical hit!”
“-57!”
A vibrant red critical hit number floated up, startling Zhang Mengmeng.
Burst Bone Blade triggered a critical hit, doubling the damage. The neck was automatically targeted, doubling the damage again, stacking up to three times!
With just one strike, the Skeleton Wolf with only 50 health points was annihilated, even exceeding by 7 points!
[Congratulations on defeating the Skeleton Wolf. You gained 10 experience points.]
[You gained 10 Evolution Points.]
[Congratulations, your level has increased to level 2. Health +10, Attack +1, Defense +1.]
“I can actually earn experience and level up like a player?”
Evolution Points can enhance oneself, Enhancement Points can strengthen weapons, and experience points allow him to level up like a player. This means three types of improvements!
Although the increase in attributes with each level-up is modest at the beginning, it’s just the early stage.
For players, every ten levels will double their attribute points, and the attributes gained later will also increase.
As a summoned creature, he is even more overpowered than the player template!
“Phew!”
Another heavy strike came down, boosted by Burst Bone Blade’s high attack.
“-20.”
Dealing 20 health points of damage, the other Skeleton Wolf’s health dropped by almost half.
Although this time there was no critical hit or a hit on a vital spot, the attack was still fierce.
This scene startled Zhang Mengmeng once again.
“Goodness gracious, is this Skeleton really that powerful?”
One strike resulted in a critical hit, dealing 57 damage and killing a Skeleton Wolf!
Another strike, a common attack, without triggering a critical hit or hitting a vital spot, still dealt 20 damage?
Looking at the other Skeletons she summoned, the damage they dealt was pitiful.
“-1.”
“-2.”
“-1.”
It’s simply unbearable to watch.
Has this Skeleton mutated?
Having played games for so long, she has never encountered such a situation!
“His blade… is really different.”
Unable to comprehend the situation, she quickly logged into the game forum to check out players’ strategies.
The Great Wasteland, as a globally sweeping game, although it just opened, the number of posts on the forum reached thousands within ten minutes of opening.
But after searching for a while, Zhang Mengmeng still couldn’t find the information she wanted.
However, in the forum, she saw some speculative posts.
In summary, in The Great Wasteland game, anything is possible…
“Oh goodness, saying that is as good as saying nothing…” After browsing through the posts, Zhang Mengmeng didn’t find the answer she wanted.
But she understood very clearly in her heart that this Skeleton has definitely mutated!
Because not only is his blade problematic, but his method of killing monsters is also suspicious.
After carefully observing Jiang Cheng’s process of killing monsters, Zhang Mengmeng found that Jiang Cheng, when killing Skeleton Wolves, always intentionally or unintentionally aimed at their necks!
The neck is the vital spot of undead creatures. Hitting the neck results in different damage than hitting other areas.
And Jiang Cheng almost always attempted to strike the neck of the Skeleton Wolves, often achieving five or more hits out of ten strikes!
This is still because the summoned Skeletons have a slow attack speed.
It should be noted that Skeleton Wolves are much faster than Skeleton soldiers. Generally, a Skeleton soldier can only land one strike out of ten, while a Skeleton Wolf can deal damage with two bites.
For ordinary Skeleton soldiers, ten strikes might not result in a single hit, but Jiang Cheng can hit the target about five times out of ten strikes, which is definitely not a coincidence!
This is a Skeleton soldier with intelligence and combat experience!
“-42!”
“Crack!”
[Congratulations on gaining 10 Evolution Points.]
[Congratulations on gaining 10 Experience Points.]
[Congratulations on leveling up, your level has increased by one, health points increased by 10, attack +1, defense +1.]
Another Skeleton Wolf was killed by his critical hit. Jiang Cheng had already killed ten Skeleton Wolves and leveled up to level 3.
However, he did not continue to kill but retreated.
Because the cannon fodder Skeleton soldiers fighting alongside him were all dead.
Some were killed by Skeleton Wolves, and some automatically disintegrated due to the expiration of their summoning time.
Jiang Cheng was pleasantly surprised to find that he did not disintegrate due to the summoning time limit, indicating that he had already transcended the category of common summoned creatures.
But the reason he retreated was not only because of this.
It was because he found that he was too slow!
So slow that it was unbearable. It took three seconds to swing a blade…
Just now, he could only kill Skeleton Wolves by hiding behind those cannon fodder Skeletons.
Now that the little cannon fodder Skeletons he summoned were all dead, going to kill Skeleton Wolves again would be a thankless task.
With low defense, once surrounded, he was highly likely to be killed.
After some thought, he checked his own attributes to see if he could evolve.
Name: Jiang Cheng.
Level: 3.
Race: Undead Skeleton (Summoner: A Silly Cutie).
HP: 120.
Mana: 0.
Attack: 4 (Bone Blade +15).
Defense: 3.

“I have 100 Evolution Points; I can evolve now!” Jiang Cheng was delighted, and there was also some anticipation in his eyes. What would he evolve into?
