Chapter 16 leveling up
In the corridor of the residential area, Tiger looked curiously at the two corpses of the disaster victims in front of him.
The corpse of the Red-Headed Demon was slowly disappearing, just like the Human-Faced Cat that Lin An had sent away with a baseball bat.
However, the Mutant Infections , which originated from humans on Earth, show no signs of disappearing.
The body, completely devoid of life, lay quietly on the ground, and from its distorted face, one could still faintly discern a sense of relief.
"Beep beep..."
Just then, the urgent and sharp sound of police sirens came rapidly from afar.
Seeing this, Tiger stopped lingering and immediately prepared to jump out the window to leave.
Before leaving, he casually glanced at the camera pointed at him with his golden eyes, and then disappeared in a flash.
"Whoosh!"
This scene instantly caused a huge commotion in the live stream, but before the viewers could even type a comment, the screen went black in the next second!
[This live stream has been banned!]
Holy crap, was this live stream only five minutes long from start to finish?
Seeing the banned live stream, many people couldn't help but start cursing and complaining.
Some viewers who initially thought it was a movie shoot couldn't help but have more doubts upon seeing this scene.
While the community group chat was in full swing, the Supernatural Ability Administration Bureau quickly cordoned off the scene, and a man in a black trench coat rushed over to start observing the surrounding clues.
"Besides demons and Mutant Infections , there is a third kind of aura."
"Captain Qi, have you found anything?"
Through the earpiece, the liaison officer at the branch office asked.
"A red-headed demon descended upon this neighborhood, only to encounter an infected person who had just completed their mutation."
The man in the black trench coat, known as Captain Qi, quickly spoke up: "This is not hard to see from the surveillance footage, but the tiger that arrived later and killed both of them had a rather strange aura."
"It's a bit like a spirit beast, and a bit like a player."
Captain Qi paused for a moment, then continued, "However, judging from the explosive power, speed, and energy, this tiger is at least level three, and is very powerful."
"Standing... When creating a file, it's advisable to initially treat it as neutral to slightly friendly."
Level 3 expert!
Upon hearing this, the recorder couldn't help but feel a chill. After all, the strongest disaster that had occurred in Linjiang City was only level three, and that was already enough to give the Administration Bureau a headache for some time.
Now, suddenly there's another one, which truly makes us have to pay attention.
Fortunately, this creature doesn't seem to intend to harm humans. Otherwise, with the entire precinct currently busy searching for and dealing with the Mutant Infection calamity, they might not have had the manpower to handle this matter.
After all, compared to ordinary demons and monsters, the mutated calamity that can spread infinitely is obviously the most important thing to deal with next!
If we're not careful, the whole city could be plunged into the apocalypse!
While the Supernatural Ability Administration Bureau was conducting its investigation, Lin An looked at the information that popped up on the panel inside the rented house.
[Ding! Experience points are full. Level up?]
" Well done, Tiger !"
Lin An couldn't help but praise it, after all, there are probably not many people who can upgrade while lying at home at this stage.
However, Lin An did not immediately click to upgrade, but instead looked at the new skill he had mastered.
[Substitute Talisman, Current Proficiency: Beginner]
While Tiger was hunting demons, Lin An was not idle. Instead, he read through the Substitute Talisman manual and successfully cultivated it to the beginner level.
However, at the beginner level, the success rate of drawing a substitute talisman is only one in ten.
Furthermore, drawing a substitute talisman requires consuming the user's life essence, which is not ordinary blood. Even consuming just a drop will leave the user in a weakened state.
Furthermore, consuming more than three drops at once will permanently damage one's essence.
Therefore, Lin An picked up the manual and opened it again.
[Consume all the essence of the manual to raise the Substitute Talisman proficiency to minor mastery?]
As mentioned before, in addition to relying on repeated practice, proficiency can also be improved by consuming essence.
Lin An felt that if he repeatedly studied the secret manual, the improvement he could gain might be greater than the system's direct upgrade, but doing so would take a considerable amount of time.
As for life-saving items, it's naturally better to get them as early as possible.
Therefore, Lin An did not hesitate and clicked "Confirm" directly!
A vast amount of knowledge about substitute talismans seemed to be rapidly injected into his mind like a sudden enlightenment. After he had completely digested this knowledge, Lin An could feel that his substitute talisman drawing skills had successfully reached the minor mastery level!
Once you reach the minor completion level, the success rate of drawing a substitute talisman will be as high as 50%.
That's enough.
With a thought, Lin An began to try to force his essence and blood out of his body, following what he had learned from the secret manual.
Two exceptionally bright red drops of blood emerged from his body and floated in Lin An's palm.
As the two drops of essence blood left, Lin An's face turned deathly pale.
But at that moment, Lin An made a mental decision to upgrade!
At the very moment he clicked to confirm, a warm current suddenly appeared in his body.
The consumed essence and blood are quickly replenished the moment of leveling up, and the status returns to full in an instant!
Seeing that this tactic was indeed feasible, Lin An couldn't help but smile slightly.
Sure enough, a qualified pro gamer must be proficient in various bug-exploiting techniques!
[Ding! Congratulations, player, all attributes +2, gained 2 free attribute points!]
Breaking through level one grants +1 to all attributes and one free attribute point.
Breaking through to level 2 grants +2 to all attributes and two free attribute points.
And so on, the boost you get with each level up will become increasingly amazing!
After some thought, Lin An didn't hesitate and immediately added both of his free attribute points to his Spirit.
With the talent of Three-Dimensional Balance, you only need to add attribute points to the highest attribute.
With the three dimensions already balanced, it doesn't matter where you add it, since the other two attributes will catch up in no time.
However, I still need to draw talismans, so a little more focus will increase the success rate.
Thinking of this, Lin An looked at his upgraded control panel.
[Player: Lin An]
Level: 3
Talent: Balanced Across Three Dimensions
Experience points: 0%
Essence (Constitution): 12 (+2, continuing to rise)
Qi (Elemental Power): 12 (+2, continuously increasing)
God (Spirit): 14 (+4)

Current status: Good
The Substitute Talisman manual has been completely transformed into his own skill, and his attribute value has increased by six points after the upgrade. Furthermore, his constitution and elemental power are continuing to increase under the influence of his talent.
Lin An was about to begin his first talisman drawing, but before that, he looked at the two treasure chests that Tiger had dropped from killing monsters.
