Level Up in Earth Evolution

"XinXin, looks like we have to go without making a sound," he said, feeling irritated.

He was going to teach the people after him a lesson, but who knows that even the military came after him.

"Brother, what happened?" Li Xin asked at his sudden decision.

"Well, the military is after us too. Let\'s go; we should escape now," Li Wei replied calmly.

Even though he showed killing intent toward the people who were after him, he did it in anger. Now that the military is also coming, he didn\'t take it lightly and decided to escape.

"Mmm," Li Xin nodded, though she was a little puzzled about how he knew.

"Sera, why are you interfering that much?" Luna, the goddess of Life, exclaimed at her.

"Huh, when did I?" Sera pretended to be ignorant.

Luna looked at her and didn\'t say anything, knowing it was useless. Li Wei would\'ve died here if she didn\'t interfere, and she did it twice

Li Wei looked at Li Xin, who was in his arms. "I will use my skill; hold me tight," he said.

"Okay, brother," Li Xin nodded as she tightened her grip on him.

"Shadow Step," Li Wei murmured softly, and they both disappeared from the living room of their apartment.

"Sir Zhao, their temperatures disappeared," the military man reported immediately as he found nothing showing on the thermal camera.

"Then what are you doing? Find them! Use choppers and other equipment! Why are you looking at me?" Sir Zhao screamed at the man in a cold tone.

"But we don\'t have that much fuel to power them up; we\'re saving it for tomorrow," the man replied with difficulty.

"Huh, like I care. You should know his secrets are more important. Go, use them," Sir Zhao commanded not caring about anything.

"Yes, Sir Zhao, I will arrange it," the man replied and got to work.

In the outer city, inside a vacant school, two figures appeared from the shadows, both wearing black clothing that made it hard to discover them in the dark night.

"Brother, Are we in a school?" Li Xin asked as she looked at the vacant school that had changed due to the monster invasion.

"We are already outside the inner city. Don\'t worry about it; they wouldn\'t search this vacant building. After all, not all of them are idiots and will deplete their important resources," Li Wei replied, looking at his remaining MP.

Mana Points (MP): 135/935

"Only 135 remained. It\'s good that I upgraded the Shadow Step to level six, and my distance to travel increased from 0.5 to 1 km. With the nighttime, it was easy to use this skill with two people," he pondered glancing at Li Xin, who was still in his arms.

"What happened, XinXin?" Li Wei asked, looking at her softly. He didn\'t care about anything as long as she was alright.

"Um, nothing, Brother Wei. I just feel useless that I can\'t help you with anything," Li Xin muttered with a sad expression.

"Who said XinXin is useless? Look, I have no MP right now, so you have to protect your lovely brother if not I might die with loneliness," Li Wei remarked stretching her beautiful cheeks.

"But what should we do now?" she asked letting him play with her cheeks.

"Well, let\'s find a place to rest. We will head out tomorrow," Li Wei suggested looking around the vacant school.

There were only empty rooms, so he chose a good corner and sat down.

"Brother Wei, next time, don\'t use that skill to calm my emotions," Li Xin requested sitting in his lap.

She didn\'t know the name of the skill he used on her. But she didn\'t want to use it on her or she will never get used to the new world.

She didn\'t want to drag him down, and the only way is to become stronger, strong enough to stand beside him without his help.

"Are you sure?" Li Wei asked with a puzzled face hugging her from behind.

He was able to bear the smell of blood and corpses because the effect lessened on him very early, so he had no choice but to get used to it.

Not to mention his increased intelligence attribute also helped him.

"Yup, I can\'t just remain like this and drag you down," Li Xin nodded with resolution.

"Okay, we will think about it later. Let\'s eat something and sleep. I will keep watch here," Li Wei changed the topic and pondered what to do next.

"Sir Zhao, we were stopped when we asked them to mobilize choppers and other equipment," the man reported coming back with a hurried expression.

"Who stopped you?" Sir Zhao roared loudly in anger.

"I stopped him. Do you have any problem?" suddenly a cold voice echoed behind him.

"Captain Wang Lei!" Sir Zhao exclaimed in fear taking a few steps back.

"Humph, you really have guts to chase a civilian, right? Did you feed your brain to some monster? Don\'t you know that everyone can level up, and they will be able to kill level 5 monsters sooner or later? Just how did you become a soldier?" Wang Lei looked at him with disappointment.

"But–" Sir Zhao wanted to say something, but he was interrupted.

"No \'buts.\' If I see you again using the military resources for your personal use, don\'t blame me for stripping you of your position," Wang Lei declared, with cold eyes, before leaving.

"Unn," Li Xin, who was sleeping on Li Wei\'s lap, woke up upon hearing the announcement.

"Don\'t worry; it\'s just an announcement. Nothing is happening," Li Wei ruffled her hair with a smile looking at her sleepy face.

"Unn, brother, didn\'t you sleep?" Li Xin asked seeing him awake.

"I slept," Li Wei replied shortly.

"Let\'s find a place to wash ourselves and think about what to do later." he suggested.

"I will listen to you, brother," Li Xin nodded snuggling in his arms like a cat.

Even though they were close, she didn\'t get a chance to snuggle too much, and with the opportunity before her, she didn\'t forget to grab it.

Li Wei smiled at her cute pose and hugged her gently.

\'It\'s really good she returned to normal,\' he thought with relief.

To him there is nothing more important than her.

After snuggling for a little and filling herself with satisfaction, she stopped.

Li Wei saw her stopping with a disappointed expression, but he didn\'t waste any time and left the school with her.

"Brother, where are we heading?" Li Xin inquired, walking in a direction outside the city.

"I don\'t know. The terrain has changed; it was not like this before," Li Wei replied with a frown, looking at the green forest and mountains on one side and a barren green land on the other side.

Both contained otherworldly beauty and animals.

"Is this another world that merged with Earth?" Li Xin exclaimed, looking at the different small animals and birds.

"Yeah, probably," Li Wei replied, a little excited, forgetting that he almost lost his life yesterday.

"Let\'s go; we should go ahead. There\'s a path too," he pointed at a path that seemed to be made by some carriage.

"Okay," Li Xin agreed with curious eyes.

She, too, wanted to discover the new world and see what it looks like.

With the anticipation to see the new world, they both walked on the path leading inside the forest.

"Brother, what about monsters? Are there any nearby?" Li Xin asked, observing the forest with a vigilance.

"No, I don\'t see any for now," Li Wei replied using Analyze Eye, which can detect monsters nearby, even if their level exceeds it will at least show their status panel.

"This forest is a level 4 forest, and we will not be able to see any monsters above level 4 or level 5," he mentioned, checking the map for information.

"What a pity; I wanted to level up a little and warm up," Li Xin pouted wanting to become stronger.

"Okay, we will see if there are any monsters here if there are you can take them down," Li Wei smiled looking at her.

He knew she wanted to get stronger because she didn\'t want to hold him back.

But when he thought about their future, he wasn\'t even able to imagine.

\'How beautiful it will be if things go smoothly without any problem,\' he muttered to himself, pondering what to do next.

They both didn\'t have any problems accepting this kind of life, as they both played games and maybe because they were game addicts.

They had already gone through a lot when their parents passed away leaving them alone.

After that, they both became shut-in introverts, not having any expectations from people and the world around them.

Because of it they were able to calmly accept this reality, with their increased intelligence attributes playing a big part in it.

As Li Wei and Li Xin continued on the path, they suddenly received a notification.

[Ding, Dungeon Clear Quest: Defeat the dungeon boss and kill all the monsters in the dungeon.

Dungeon level: 5 (F)

Difficulty: E

Rewards: 1000 XP

Note: If you party up with people, you will split the rewards with them. If you don\'t want to accept the quest, you can keep walking, and the quest will disappear.]

"Huh?, XinXin, did you get a quest too?" Li Wei asked, looking at his system panel.

"Yes, brother. What do you think? Should we do it?" Li Xin inquired eager to level up.
