Level Up in Earth Evolution

Li Wei gazed at the ceiling, pondering his situation, 'The ten times bonus is not as useful now, especially with coins. They are too low at the speed I am leveling up. I have to clear the dungeons only then will I be able to earn enough coins to support the whole party while upgrading their skills,' he mused, letting out a sigh.

He turned towards Li Xin, who was already lost in her dreams, 'I also can't raise their attributes just as I please; if not, they might change and become a different person,' he thought silently, recalling the time he had exceeded the limit.

'It was like a different version of myself back then,' he remembered that day clearly when he exceeded the limit.

At that time, he lost himself to anger and felt he was thrown into the river of darkness. It was only a few seconds, but he didn't want that feeling again.

He also didn't want Li Xin to discover this, so it was better to let her level up before raising her attributes more.

'Anyway, I shouldn't overthink too much, and I don't plan to exceed the limit again,' he ended his thoughts and gazed at Li Xin and Olivia, who were both sleeping. 'I should also sleep,' he decided, closing his eyes to sleep.

But he didn't notice a figure observing him. In the silent night, the figure stood on the rooftop of another building near the inn. It observed Li Wei from the window that he left open because of the summer heat.

After confirming that he was sleeping, the figure disappeared without anyone noticing anything strange.

This was a surprise because many skills were restricted inside the city. If someone used them, the guards would immediately know and apprehend the person. However, this person used their skills freely without alerting anyone.

Inside the Guild Master's office, Maurice sat patiently, waiting for the report. Suddenly, a figure materialized inside the office, facing the guild master.

Maurice fixed his gaze on the figure. "Rosalie, how was it? Did you discover anything?" he inquired.

Rosalie shook her head. "Guild Master, there's nothing wrong with him, but he seems to have a lot of money. He even formed a contract with a servant," she reported, recounting what she had observed while tailing Li Wei after he left the guild.

Maurice frowned, muttering to himself, "So much money? Just where did he get it from?"

When he scanned him with Analyze Eye, he saw his status. It was definitely impossible to achieve something like that without any money.

Rosalie looked at the guild master, who was pondering something. "Guild Master, if he has such a high status, then why hasn't he lost control yet?" she asked with a puzzled expression.

Even though everyone can raise their attributes with coins, it isn't simple. Once they exceed the limit to use the additional attributes, they will lose control if they are not powerful enough and if they increase it more without considering their levels, they will go mad without even exceeding the limit.

Maurice sighed. "I don't know, but there are few people who can do something like this. Perhaps he is one of them, and not to mention, I couldn't even discern some of his skills," he explained, with a wry smile.

"What?" Rosalie became stunned when she heard his reply. "Guild Master, how could someone hide their skills from you, you are the second most powerful person in the city?" she denied the possibility.

Maurice shook his head at her. "There are many people I can't see through, and not to mention, he might be the hero candidate. But I haven't heard of any heroes emerging from the Jack-of-all-Trades class, that's what made me puzzled," he shared his thoughts with her.

"Hero candidate!" Rosalie was shocked. Hero candidates were exceedingly rare. Now, one has appeared in Valeria City, she found it unbelievable.

However, Maurice dismissed his notion. "It's merely a speculation. Keep an eye on him. If he exceeds the limit, he would only cause trouble, and it will not be good if he is really a hero candidate," he concluded, disappearing from the office.

"What? No way! I have to keep an eye on him again?" Rosalie grumbled with an unwilling expression. "They were eating all kinds of food, and I can only watch them eating. How frustrating," she pouted, vanishing from the office.

Next morning, Li Wei woke up and saw Li Xin hugging him again, forgetting about Olivia's presence.

He turned his attention towards Olivia, who had already woken up and was sitting on the bed, deep in thought with her normally melancholic eyes.

Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little speechless. "If you have anything on your mind, you can just tell me. If it's something like a girl's thing, then you can talk to Li Xin," he suggested.

Even though Li Xin is an introvert, she is good at taking care of people; it's just that she doesn't like to think too much about others, but she might be able to help if it's something related to a girl.

Olivia sighed, shaking her head at him. "You don't have to worry about me. I know what to do," she replied, rejecting his suggestion.

Seeing her reject his suggestion, Li Wei didn't continue the topic. "You can get ready first, then we will have breakfast together," he said.

Olivia nodded silently and made her way towards the bathroom.

After half an hour, they all got ready, with Li Xin embarrassed because she clung to him in front of someone.

They all headed downstairs alongside Elva and Alice for breakfast. They had decided yesterday to have breakfast together so they could plan their day.

At the table, Elva looked at Li Wei. "What are we going to do today?" she asked while eating her breakfast.

"We will go to the All-in-one shop and then to the Guild. But before that, I am going to the library first to borrow some books," Li Wei explained his plan when he saw Elva's eyes shining brightly.

Elva looked at him with an eager expression. "You wouldn't mind if we tagged along with you to the library, right?" she asked a little concerned.

Li Wei shook his head with a smile, knowing she just wanted to read. "Why would I mind? Let's finish our breakfast first before heading towards the library," he said, thinking about the Eternal Learning skill.

He couldn't let it go to waste, not to mention he will also acquire knowledge. When he got the skill, he didn't have much mana, but now it isn't a problem for him. Furthermore, he needed more information about this world.

Elva beamed happily when she thought she would get to read the books and hurriedly finished her breakfast. While Alice and Li Xin shook their heads at her eagerness, with Olivia silently looking at them while finishing her breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Wei led his party towards the library of Valeria City. The library was a four-story tall building with lots of bookshelves. It didn't look any different from the Eastern Fantasy libraries in games.

The library wasn't restricted because of the interactions with other worlds, making it easy for them to enter.

"It's really big," Li Xin murmured, seeing the bookshelves in the library.

But Elva shook her head with disappointment. "It isn't big," they both expressed their thoughts differently.

Li Wei smiled at their reaction and proceeded towards the librarian desk.

Alice and Olivia didn't show their interest; they were just tagging along, looking around the alien planet they had discovered.

The librarian girl looked at Li Wei introducing herself. "Hello, I am Eliot. How may I help you?" she asked.

"I am here to look through the books and borrow some," Li Wei answered. He couldn't just stroll around without taking any books or they might ban him from the library.

Eliot nodded. "Yes, you can just put your guild card here, and you will be able to borrow the books for 100 coins per day. But you can't take more than seven books and must return them within a month, or you will be fined for extra charges," she explained, providing the instructions.

"Thanks, then I will look through the shelves," Li Wei said, proceeding towards the bookshelf.

The bookshelves were divided into many areas, from the main nine classes to history and novel ones.

Without hesitation, Li Wei headed towards the history section bookshelf, while Li Xin and the other girls took a seat at a nearby table, grabbing a book to read.

Li Wei arrived in front of the history section bookshelf. "Let's see if the skill can learn the books without opening them; it will save me a lot of trouble," he murmured and silently activated the Eternal Learning skill, looking at the bookshelf.

But Li Wei didn't hear anything from the system. "Looks like I have to open every book to learn from it," he murmured with a disappointed expression and took a book related to heroes of the past and activated the skill again.

[Ding, Congratulations! You have learned the knowledge from the book]
