If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

"I like being on the bottom..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lynn's face twitched, and he looked at the leather ghosts that were starting to gather around him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

At that moment, a sweet fragrance wafted over, masking all the unpleasant odors around them.

Even though Lynn had been holding his breath, the strange-smelling substance still seeped into his skin after it came into contact with his skin.

Just then, Fiona's voice rang out:

"Hurry up and move! Once the Skinflint enters the battle, he emits a scent that slows people down."

'You should have smelled it by now, right?'

'You only have a maximum of 3 minutes to fight this battle. If you smell too much, the way you run will be no different from an 80-year-old lady!'

"I want you to talk more!"

Lynn clicked his tongue, put the dagger away, glanced around, and began searching for his target.

Then, he spotted a leather ghost who was half a head shorter than him, and without thinking, he started running and, relying on his speed, circled around to the back of the leather ghost.

Seeing this, the skin-covered ghost tried to grab Lynn, but its hand, wrapped in human skin, missed its target in mid-air.

At this moment, Lynn had already activated his stealth skills, forcefully tearing off the part of the spine that connected its ribs and lower body.

To be honest, this behavior is devoid of aesthetics and doesn't even qualify as theft; it's simply outright robbery!

Even so, the skill system still sent a notification.

[Theft ↑, Current Level: Lv2 (0/10)]

Do I level up by stealing one?

Lynn raised an eyebrow, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

'System, downgrade the theft detection!'

[Theft Lv2 → Lv1.]

【自由技能點0點（技能點儲蓄池1/3），自由屬性點2點（屬性儲蓄池1/10）】

After successfully raising and lowering his skill level, Lynn did not hesitate. He specifically chose a small monster that was less than 1.5 meters tall, pried open its head, threw the skull aside, grabbed its spine, and forcibly pulled it off.

[Theft ↑, Current Level: Lv2 (0/10)]

[Theft Lv2 → Lv1.]

【自由技能點0點（技能點儲蓄池2/3），自由屬性點2點（屬性儲蓄池2/10）】

Killing a skin ghost will raise or lower your skill level once?

After repeating the process twice, Lynn, confirming that the method worked, looked at the at least twenty or thirty skin ghosts that had gathered around him, and his smile gradually became twisted.

At this time,

On a small hillside high up.

Fiona stood on the stones, casually overlooking the battle in the Ironwood Forest.

"Quite clever!"

"They even knew to stay on the edge of the forest so that it would be easier for me to rescue them."

"It seems he also understands how painful the way Pygmie kills is."

"Tsk tsk, to squeeze one's own bones into the prey's body, replacing all of its skeleton, just thinking about it makes me feel pain."

Fiona then calculated the time and realized that Lynn had probably ingested too much of the strange smell, so she stretched and prepared to rescue him.

However, at this moment,

Fiona suddenly noticed that Lynn's running speed was a little strange!

Even after ingesting a large amount of the sluggish, strange smell, Lynn's speed remained unchanged.

No, he's even faster than he started!

Fiona scratched her head blankly:

"What's going on?"

"Could this skinny creature secrete a scent that makes people speed up?"

Chapter 49 The Correct Way to Open the System!

'System, continue allocating points to the Red Dragon's body!'

[Red Dragon Body Level ↑, Current Level Lv10.]

[Gain Trait: Increases all attributes by '1' points.]

[Current attributes have been updated.]

[Adventurer: Lynn Knightworth]

[Level: Lv2]

[Constitution: 17]

[Endurance: 17]

【自由技能點0點（技能點儲蓄池2/3），自由屬性點4點（屬性儲蓄池9/10）】

【Stigmata Attribute: None】

Upon seeing the exaggerated attributes, the densely packed skill interface, and most importantly, the Red Dragon Body Lv10, Lynn couldn't help but feel secretly delighted:

'Sure enough, this is the correct way to use cheats!'

'I've been going down the wrong path all along. This leveling-up strategy, like the Ten Mile Slope Sword God build, is the one that suits me best!'

Thinking of this, Lynn suddenly raised his head and locked his gaze on the leather ghosts around him.

The leather ghosts that had originally surrounded Lynn were now few and far between.

Lynn removed the spines of the 27 Skinflint, causing them to lose their support and fall to the ground.

But they were not dead yet; instead, they would wave their withered, foul-smelling arms, trying to grab Lynn.

The skin ghost, which was only the upper body of Lynn, was closer to him and grabbed Lynn's ankle.

However, Lynn completely ignored its actions and, after finding a leather ghost, simply took a step forward and sneaked over.

A few snapping sounds!

The leather ghost, who was holding Lynn's ankle, was pulled up by Lynn and after slamming into the ground several times, his hand bones separated from his body and he fell limply to the ground.

At that moment, Lynn happened to break off the spine of yet another skin ghost.

For Lynn, whose strength had doubled in a short period of time, the Skinflint's spine was now as easy as breaking chopsticks.

With just a gentle tug, the spine is severed above the tailbone, and the rotting, foul-smelling skin demon, like a toothless tiger, collapses to the ground, flapping its arms and struggling helplessly.

[Theft↑]

[Theft Lv2 → Lv1.]

Lynn habitually downgraded theft.

At that moment, he accumulated another free skill point, and his free attribute points also reached a total of 5 points.

Without a second thought, Lynn continued to invest his skill points into the hero-level skill, Red Dragon's Body.

During the upgrade, Lynn casually ripped the head off a nearby leather ghost and then chopped off its spine in the middle of its sternum with a backhand karate chop.

At this moment, Lynn suddenly paused.

He couldn't feel the burning sensation of his attributes increasing again.

[Ding! Upgrade failed! The upgrade requirement for the Red Dragon's body has been updated to 2 skill points, which can be used to fuse one level 10 skill.]

In an instant,

The system notification finally stopped Lynn's hunting spree:

"Have the upgrade requirements changed?"

At that moment, Lynn faintly heard the howling of the wind.

He looked up following the sound and indeed saw Fiona descending from the sky like a roc spreading its wings.

Whoosh!!

Fiona bumped into a branch of a nearby ironwood tree, and after being slowed down by the branches and leaves, she landed lightly on the ground, then looked up at Lynn:

"Hey kid, what's going on?"

"Didn't we say we could only hold out for about 3 minutes? This is more than double the allotted time!"

"Also, the speed you were running at just now, it must have been at least 15 points or more, right?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, realizing that his continuous skill point allocation had caught Fiona's attention.

"Is it possible that what I just did was my normal speed?"

Fiona rolled her eyes, feeling like Lynn was treating her like a fool.

"Why don't you just say you're an 80-year-old retired adventurer with frail health, and you were just doing rehabilitation training?!"

Lynn smiled upon hearing this and spread her hands, saying:

"If you insist on calling me grandpa, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Fiona stared speechlessly at the despicable man before her, utterly helpless against him.

"Fine, fine, I'm not necessarily trying to find out your secrets."

"Ultimately, in the adventurer's profession, who doesn't have secrets?"

Fiona muttered a complaint, then crossed her arms and said irritably:

"But I'm warning you, inhaling the smell of the leather ghost for too long can be harmful to your health!"

"You should have already noticed something wrong with your body, right?"

Lynn paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked down at his crotch, looked up at Fiona, and scratched his cheek, saying:

"It's a little embarrassing. I can't tell if I became like this because I saw you, or because I was influenced by the Skin Demon..."

Fiona looked at Lynn speechlessly:

"There's also a Rose Street in Rock Town. Shall I take you there to solve this problem?"

Lynn rejected the proposal without hesitation:

"Then forget it, I don't like things that other people have used."

Fiona tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "You want new stock? That might be a bit pricey."

Upon hearing this, Lynn looked at Fiona with a strange expression.

Why did you tacitly agree that he had to go?

Is the skin ghost's poison really that sinister?

"Is the effect of inhaling this gas for a long time very bad?"

“No!” Fiona said without hesitation, “I’m afraid you’ll lose control and pounce on me, and then I’ll kick you to death!”

"Haven't you noticed? You're becoming increasingly unable to control your excitement."

Lynn remained silent upon hearing this.

He is indeed having some unusual reactions now.

For example, even from this distance, he could smell Fiona's sweat.
