BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52: Bugged
A freezing wave formed from its hand, sweeping towards the wolves with a sound.
*Awoo!* *Awoo!*
The wolves screamed and roared in response, but the freezing wave didn\'t affect them too much and only slowed down a little.
Li Wei observed everything with a nod.
"It is not very powerful, but it can take care of the wolf pack. Also, the clone can be used as long as it doesn\'t die or I recall it back. I wonder if XinXin will use it," he murmured, thinking about the clone skill and how to get Li Xin to use it.
After deciding to cross the bridge of stepsiblings, he started to think of indecent things with her a lot. He couldn\'t help himself as he is just a boy who is going to turn 18.
As he pondered, his clone didn\'t stop and continued to attack the wolves.
"Fireball," "Fireball," "Magic Storm," the clone chanted again.
*Boom! Boom! Swoosh!*
The attack directly hit the wolves with a magic storm that ignited the area with fire engulfing them inside.
*Sizzle! Awoo! Awoo!*
The wolves screamed in pain, feeling the burn, and attacked the clone with their claws and bites.
"Evasion," the clone chanted, instantly dodging incoming attacks, and once again attacked the wolves with skills.
Watching this, Elva, Alice, and Olivia were a little stunned because the clone was able to deal with the wolf pack without any problems.
"It\'s really a strong skill," Alice murmured, looking at the clone.
"Yes, it is," Elva nodded, agreeing with her, and watched the clone kill the wolves without much trouble.
[Ding,..] [Ding,..] [Ding,..]
As the clone killed the wolves, all XP went to Li Wei.
"I am close to leveling up," he muttered, examining his experience bar and looked ahead to see only five wolves remaining on their last breath while his clone unharmed.
"Fireball," "Fireball," the clone chanted, attacking the last five wolves with fireballs and killing them instantly as they were on their last breath.
[Ding, Congratulations for killing a Level 14 Blood Wolf. You gained 1400 XP] ×5
[Ding, Congratulations, your level has increased to Level 36. You have received 100 SP, 100 AP, and 1000 coins.]
Li Wei looked at the notification with a shocked expression.
"Fuck, I am bugged," he cursed after being stunned for a second.
He has learned the information about this world from the library and knew about the cases of level dropping that happened because of contract breaks and other reasons.
Everyone who has dropped the level can level up, but they will not get any level up rewards from the system.
It should be the same for him as he already leveled up to 39 before dropping to 35.
But somehow, he is still getting level up rewards after leveling up and didn\'t know if he should feel happy or sad because it might not be a good thing.
*****
Inside the white room, Sera sat on the sofa with comfort as her late teen appearance made her look beautiful.
Her long midnight black hair floated down her waist as she observed the screen with her gold eyes.
She appeared breathtaking, wearing her black dress, as she smiled at Li Wei, who was on the screen and cursing that he is bugged.
*Bang*
Suddenly, the door of the room opened with a bang.
"Sera!" A loud, irritated shout echoed as Luna entered the room, her blonde hair swirling with her graceful movements.
After entering the room, she glared at Sera with her jade blue eyes.
Her mature look made her more imposing, adorned in the untainted white dress.
Watching Luna coming in, Sera turned towards her.
"What is it, Luna? Why are you shouting?" she muttered with a lazy expression.
"You!" Luna became speechless at her lazy expression and wanted to scold her, but she held back, knowing it wasn\'t the time.
"Sera, I really want to scold you, but it isn\'t the time. The Goddess of War, Selene, is coming to punish you," she informed in a hurry, concern flashing in her eyes.
Listening to her, Sera nodded. She knew the reason but didn\'t care.
"Then let her come. I am not afraid, and it\'s been a while since I met with her," she replied with a smile.
"Sera!!" Luna once again became speechless, and before she could say anything, another young woman entered through the door.
She wore a red dress that matched her vibrant red hair, and her cold beauty appearance.
"Sera!, you have to explain," she stated, her red ruby eyes fixed on Sera, who still sat on the sofa without a care.
"Huh?" Sera let out a puzzled sound listening to her and pretended not to understand what she was saying.
"Selene, what do I have to explain?" she inquired with a puzzled face, looking at Selene, the Goddess of War.
Witnessing her puzzled pretending face, Selene felt irritated, but she quickly calmed herself, fixing her gaze on Sera again.
"Sera! You have to explain why that system of yours is bugged," she asked, with a clear tone and patience.
Listening to her, Sera nodded with an understanding expression.
"So you are talking about the system bug?" she muttered as if remembering it.
"Well, I don\'t know about it," she replied, shrugging her shoulders with a nonchalant look.
Watching her expression, Selene felt angry, and a few veins popped on her head, showing her irritation.
"Sera!" she uttered her name with a deep voice and looked at her with a cold glance.
"I don\'t need excuses. I want an answer, or things will not end up good for you," she stated, her eyes becoming colder and colder.
Sera didn\'t care and smiled at her cold look.
She was about to reply when someone else barged into the room.
"Hey, Stop!," a voice echoed attracting everyone\'s attention as they looked behind the door where a beautiful girl in her late teens stood.
The girl wore the dress of a guild receptionist, making her look pretty with her green long hair and eyes.
"Sophia, the Goddess of Chaos, why are you here?" Selene questioned her with a stunned expression.
Luna, too, looked at her with a question but heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the situation calm down.
Contrary to them, Sera just smiled at her arrival.
"Hi, Sera, Hi Luna, and Hi Selene. It\'s been a while, and as for the reason, here it is," Sophia greeted everyone with a smile and took out a golden token from thin air.
"Token of Creation Goddess!" Selene and Luna exclaimed together, their eyes narrowing.
"Yes, yes, this is the Token of the almighty Creation Goddess," Sophia made a proud face as she showcased it in her hand and looked at Selene.
"Selene, I am here to deliver the news. Do you want to know?" she asked, looking at her with a smile.
"What kind of a question is even that? Just tell us your news," Selene replied with relief, as she guessed the news.
Sophia smiled and walked inside the room, sitting on the sofa beside Sera.
"Why are you so tense, Luna? It\'s a good news," Sophia assured her, looking at her tense expression.
Luna finally felt relieved when she heard her and took a seat on the sofa with Selena.
Sophia nodded at them with a smile.
"So, Selene, you can take this token and throw it on the face of your higher-ups if they ask for Sera," she declared, giving her the token.
Listening to her, Selena nodded with relief.
"Thank you, Sophia. I almost thought that my sister will have to go through the punishment again," she replied with a grateful look as she ruffled Sera\'s hair softly.
Sera saw her hands ruffling her hair and backed out.
"Selene, I am not a kid anymore," she stated with a pout.
Selene glared at her little-sister when she saw her backing out.
"Why are you always creating troubles? Do you know how I feel when I have to punish my sister by myself?" she stated with irritation.
She is the Goddess of War and has a duty to watch over the Gods\' wrongdoings and punish them.
The rules can\'t be changed even if it\'s her own sister. So when she heard she has to punish her, she felt angry and irritated.
"Humph, I don\'t care," Sera harrumphed like a little girl, ignoring her.
Selene shook her head, watching her like this, and turned towards Sophia.
"Is someone behind the evolution of earth?" she asked because the Goddess of Creation wouldn\'t interfere for small reasons.
Sophia nodded at her.
"Yes, someone from the higher-ups is behind it, and probably is another creation god. Because of it, we can\'t do anything unless we have evidence."
"We still don\'t know what they are planning to do, but when the goddess of creation saw Li Wei getting bugged, she directly contacted me and said let him stay like this. As for the reasons, she didn\'t tell me," She explained with a shrug.
Selene nodded and turned towards Sera.
"Sera, I am warning you not to do something like this again. Do you understand?" she asked with a strict expression.
It is already a stroke of luck that she somehow managed to escape this punishment, but next time it won\'t be that case.
"No, I didn\'t understand," Sera shook her head and looked away with a pout.
Before Selene could get angry and say anything, Luna, who has been silent, intervened.
"Sera, look, Li Wei is messaging you," she informed as she looked at the chat panel.
Everyone also turned their attention to the chat, wanting to know what he is asking.
******
After discovering he is bugged, Li Wei first checked his status to see if there is anything wrong with it.
"There is nothing wrong, except my spirit attribute is also increasing," he murmured, observing the attribute panel.
"What\'s wrong, brother?" Li Xin asked with concern. She had just seen him cursing and now was checking his character panel with a serious expression.
"Well, XinXin, it seems your lovely brother got bugged," Li Wei replied with a wry smile and a little teasing.
"What? You got bugged brother?" Li Xin asked with an unbelieving expression, ignoring his teasing.
Behind her, Elva, Alice, and Olivia also looked at him with incredulous expressions.
With his ten times bonus and eternal learning skill, he is already considered bugged, and now he is saying he got bugged— that just didn\'t make any sense.
Watching their expressions, Li Wei explained.
"I don\'t know if I am really bugged or not. I will have to ask the Goddess to confirm it, and she might also remove the bug," he explained as he sat back in his place and opened the chat panel.
The girls nodded, but no one peeked at his conversation with the Goddess.
Everyone has their privacy, and not to mention, peeking at the conversation of gods might lead to offending them.
Li Wei didn\'t care about their thoughts and directly messaged the Goddess of Death.
Li Wei: I am bugged. Is there a problem with the system? If not, will there be a problem with how Spirit attributes are increasing?
He asked the question that has been bothering him. For other attributes, he didn\'t have to worry, as he can control them.
But the spirit attribute will increase automatically at every level, and he can\'t do anything about it.
If there is really a problem, then leveling up others will be harder, as he has to consider not raising his spirit attributes too much, which means he can only give them the XP of his one level.
