I am the one running the game

Chapter 674 Why is your attribute growth so weak?
The corpses scattered all over the ground did not make Lu Xingshi feel any shame or disgust. He had seen many horrible scenes.

"After killing so many people, don't you feel any guilt at all?" A middle-aged woman accused Lu Xingshi with disgust.

Lu Xingshi stopped and looked at the other person.

He has fair skin and his clothes and accessories are not of an ordinary family. He is a wealthy man who lives a life of luxury.

"Actually, a little bit." Lu Xingshi said sincerely, "If I had known they were coming to kill me, I shouldn't have waited for them to make a move first. I should have taken action in advance to resolve the hidden danger."

This woman was at level twenty-five, the highest level professional he had ever met.

People like her should be considered the backbone of wealthy families.

He estimated that the highest-level professional in the Lower City should be around level 30, no more than level 35.

Hearing Lu Xingshi's words, the middle-aged woman looked incredulous: "You... no wonder you dared to commit such a heinous crime of treason, it turns out you are a born evil person!"

As he was speaking, the other party launched an attack. No one knew what skills he used, but icy spikes appeared in the sky and smashed towards Lu Xingshi.

A magic profession, and specializes in ice.

Lu Xingshi quickly determined the other party's situation.

The ice spike completely broke before it got close to Lu Xingshi and fell down like fragments.

The middle-aged woman was stunned by this scene. It was the first time she saw a skill being destroyed halfway without hitting the enemy.

"This...this is impossible!!!" Her voice sounded much sharper.

You know, this is her strongest skill.

"Nothing is impossible. My skills are stronger than yours. This is the reality." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

The other party wanted to cast a spell, but felt a strong sense of suffocation emerging.

The magic professions of the Dali Dynasty are still stuck in the battle level of fixed artillery positions, at least that's what Lu Xingshi encountered.

Fortunately, most of the skills are instant, otherwise the reading time would be enough to kill them.

In fact, large-scale battles like Lu Xingshi's involving non-poor people are rare in the current Dali Dynasty once in thousands of years.

For these professionals with extraordinary backgrounds, battles are actually very rare, because they can be resolved by simply revealing their identities. If they are of the same class, they can reveal their levels. At this point, it is basically completed.

One side must be of insufficient class or level.

Therefore, most professionals are at a very high level and are familiar with their own skills, but they can only use them by rote, or even rarely use them.

Lu Xingshi directly drained the air around the other party, forming a brief vacuum area.

In an instant, the blood rushed up, making it difficult to breathe and even open my mouth.

With his life threatened, the opponent used magic skills at Lu Xingshi without hesitation.

However, these ice-attribute spells and skills were completely vulnerable in front of Lu Xingshi.

"I know it's hard for you to breathe, but it's okay, I'll help you." As Lu Xingshi spoke, a water snake emerged and wandered over in the air.

After getting close, it quickly split into several water snakes and crawled directly into the opponent's mouth, nose, ears and other entrances.

Drowning and suffocation, these two feelings quickly erupted.

Lu Xingshi was not satisfied with this.

He tried to perform refined operations, such as strangling the body with water vapor. However, once entering the body of the professional, Lu Xingshi's control would be greatly reduced or even lose control, eventually making the water bodies formed by the condensation of water vapor inactive.

This means that internal damage and control are impossible.

Although he was dissatisfied, Lu Xingshi had expected it.

Lu Xingshi's control of water vapor is similar to signal control. The stronger the professional is, the body can naturally weaken or even completely block such signals from entering the body. Even instinctive reactions can enhance this isolation effect.

This caused Lu Xingshi's plan to fail.

[You killed...]

The prompt appeared, and the middle-aged female ice mage died just like that.

"The magic system may increase points towards spirit, but it shouldn't be so fragile, right?" Lu Xingshi was surprised.

Especially the other party's equipment. Although it was not as good as the young man who entered the foreign demon world, he was still the backbone of a wealthy family. It was a bit unreasonable for him to die like this.

Lu Xingshi went over to find out the reason. He just reached out his hand and before he could undress him, he heard a roar.

"You evil villain, how dare you!" A middle-aged man holding a shield and wearing heavy armor stared at Lu Xingshi's actions with bloodshot eyes, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Lu Xingshi's behavior of desecrating the corpse.

"You guys are here to send me off, saving me one by one..." Lu Xingshi complained, and killed the middle-aged man with his backhand.

In feudal society, corpses were naturally taken very seriously. How could Lv Xingshi tolerate this when he wanted to strip them? Of course, this rule did not apply to the poor and common people, but only to the wealthy, aristocratic families, and royal relatives. After all, the lower class were not considered human beings.

"There must be someone hiding, trying to attack me while I'm performing an autopsy."

When Lu Xingshi thought of this, his heart sank involuntarily. Then he pinched his hands, and a terrifying water dragon emerged. The water dragon split into a circle of dragon heads and opened its mouth at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the water dragon began to shrink, and a large number of water cannons gushed out, forming a ruin after the bombing with Lu Xingshi as the center.

At the same time, Lu Xingshi's reminders kept appearing that he had killed the Fallen, that is, these professionals.

After the cleanup was almost complete, Lu Xingshi squatted down and began to dissect the corpse, which was of poor quality.

"You're already level 25, how come every attribute is inferior to mine?" Lu Xingshi quickly came to a conclusion.

Lu Xingshi dragged over another male corpse and performed the autopsy, and the same result was found.

The male corpse was level 22 when he was alive, and he seemed to be a defensive profession. According to normal development, his physique should be stronger than Lu Xingshi.

Excluding the additional equipment and skills, it is only about two-thirds of Lu Xingshi's.

"In other words, there is actually no problem with my skill strength, but their attributes."

Lu Xingshi suddenly reacted. No wonder he could kill enemies of higher levels and even surpass his limit. This was not his problem, but the problem of this group of professionals.

Their growth was not as high as Lu Xingshi's, and was even one third lower.

Coupled with his many talents, Lu Xingshi was not only able to kill indiscriminately, but also to kill above his level.

"Is it because they level up in different ways that the attributes gained from leveling up are reduced, or is it because my growth is too outrageous?"

Lu Xingshi couldn't help but think of the Core of the World. It didn't say that this thing could increase growth, but it was possible that some talents in the talent tree had these attributes added.

It was true that he upgraded the level bound to the Dew Pearl, but the attributes after the upgrade were his own, not given to him by the Dew Pearl.

The dew drops only serve as his skills and equipment and have nothing to do with his own strength.

Of course, as the level increases, the dew drops themselves will also grow, such as becoming larger and harder.

As a spiritual treasure, as long as you spend enough money, your growth rate will definitely be extremely fast.

Lu Xingshi was able to fight to support his own warfare, so his efficiency naturally improved extremely quickly.

"I still need a certain amount." After thinking about it, Lu Xingshi directly fed all the essence of corruption in his hand to the Dew Pearl.

His level increased directly from level 19 to level 26.

Only the Corrupted Essence of the level 25 female Ice Mage and the level 22 male Protection Warrior were of some use, so he was able to upgrade to level 26.

But it’s not far from level 27.

"Lossless inheritance is good, but it's a pity that there is a threshold every five levels, which greatly increases the experience." Lu Xingshi took a look and found that the Essence of Corruption provided by the level 22 male defensive warrior only allowed him to level up one level. From this, we can see how terrible the change in experience requirements every five levels is.

"Once I kill a high-level professional from a wealthy family, I can reach the top in one step." Lu Xingshi felt that in order to quickly increase his level, he had to jump to a higher level. Otherwise, he would not get much experience by killing low-level people.

...

"Are there any peasants in the Lower City who dare to fight back?" Gu Liangxiu's face showed dissatisfaction: "What's the use of these useless people?"

"Tell them that if they fail to catch that peasant and skin him alive today, all of these wealthy families will die."

There was murderous intent in Gu Liangxiu's tone.

As the ruler of Oak City, how could she tolerate a peasant committing such a horrific crime in her city?

If the news gets to the imperial city, she will be held accountable by the empress.

"Why are you so angry, sister? He's just a peasant. What kind of trouble can he cause?" Gu Lianglian said with disdain. It's not like she hasn't seen peasants before.

Gu Lianglian was the royal relative who had entered the city earlier. She came to find Gu Liangxiu this time because she had something.

"Mother reached level 50 three days ago, and the second advancement mission has also begun. This time, people are needed to be offered to Lord Yimo. If shared equally, you and I will each need at least people. If you can have any surplus, please give some to me," Gu Lianglian said slowly.

"How much do you want? If it's not much, I can give it to you."

"You know, I just completed an advanced task for my daughter, and there are not many peasants left in the slums." Gu Liangxiu did not hide it.

"Fifty thousand people, what do you think?" Gu Lianglian asked directly.

"Ten thousand. If you want, I'll find you some people." Gu Liangxiu rolled her eyes. She wouldn't give it to him even if he had the money. Did he really think that the people in the slums grew up like this?

"Ten thousand is ten thousand. I can ask other sisters for more money." Gu Lianglian did not bargain. Ten thousand was not a small number.

"I will simply add my sister's name to the list and send her to your city without much trouble." Gu Liangxiu did not say much and just did it in one go.
