Chapter 39: Danger
South Sea Queen: (Ohhh, really, there's always something interesting.)
Underworld Lord: (What do you call interesting? This is a sneaky and shameless way, even people from the Underworld like me don't do it.)
Queen of Life: (Some people at the bottom cannot continue to live in weakness. Their desire to level up exceeds anything. They will naturally resort to any means. @Oliver; you should be careful with this type of constellation.)
Oliver: (What exactly are they doing?)
Queen of Life: (They use a forbidden skill that allows them to bind your system to themselves. As a result, the EXP from your leveling results will be shared with them, and they will even get more shares so that it takes longer for you to level up. People who are tied to them will practically become like farmed pigs, tended to to keep the owner full.
Most problematic of all, there was no way to escape such control.)
South Sea Queen: (Hahaha, this is actually a very beneficial way. It's just that the use of this skill has an adverse effect. Otherwise, who wouldn't be interested in using it.)
Oliver: (What's the adverse effect?)
So far, he had pretty much understood everything although he also found it hard to believe that everyone's System could be bound by others.
Apparently, the so-called System wasn't something too unique even though the way it worked seemed extraordinary.
It could not only error, but even more than that.
'Yeah, even though the EXP of the Low Level Hunters was very small for them. However, if accumulated by so many people, the results must be felt,' he thought.
'If they were slaughtering Low Level Monsters themselves, they wouldn't gain EXP even if they slaughtered all the monsters in a world. However, this is someone else doing it for them.'
The question now was, what were the adverse effects of that?
Oliver waited for an answer from the South Sea Queen.

However, it was the Queen of Life who answered. She seemed to have more say in this topic.
(It's one of the forbidden skills, forbidden by the rules because it can lead to the collapse of a civilization. When you force yourself to use it, you will receive a curse. It's hard to explain what it's like. You'll only know well when you actually meet those people. The point is, you just need to keep yourself from being kidnapped by them. Their minions are definitely not few and they are not weak.
What you need to watch out for is their traps).
'I imagine they're like demons in the dark,' Oliver thought after reading the explanation from the Queen of Life.
Whether it was really like that he wasn't sure. It was just his imagination.
What was certain was that now he was made more aware of how many obstacles there were in the test of civilization.
Monsters were just the first hurdle, there were still hurdles from the constellations, and they were of various types.
After finishing the discussion in the group chat, Oliver put away his cell phone, and turned his gaze to his clothes that had several rips.
His pants were still good enough, however, his singlet and leather jacket had become uncomfortable to wear.
Thinking they were already unfit, he finally took them off, then tossed them aside, becoming shirtless.
He was rather skinny, but his chest was broad while his abdomen had clearly visible muscles.
Kim Hana's eyes widened somewhat when she saw his body.
As a woman, she instantly thought he had a sexy body.
It was a sight that disturbed her mind.
"Oliver, are you sure you're going to go shirtless like that?" she asked.
She couldn't keep quiet on this.
"How about you wear my jacket?" she added.
She seemed to want to unbutton her jacket as she said that.
Leather jackets almost always have designs that can be said to be suitable for men or women. Therefore, it wouldn't be strange if Oliver wore Kim Hana's jacket.
However, Oliver shook his head without showing any expression.
"No need, you wear it yourself. It'll be safer for you with that jacket," he said before taking a step.
In his hand, he was ready with his knife, deliberately prepared so that if there was a surprise attack, he could attack.
This was because ahead he vaguely sensed a fight. Probably between humans and monsters.
Since the three men he had killed had set a trap here, this must be a place that humans had traveled to.
Kim Hana couldn't keep talking since Oliver took a step.
She followed him, looking cautious because of the experience of falling into a trap.
The good thing this time was that Oliver didn't go too fast.
He was quite relaxed, allowing her to follow him comfortably.
If anything bothered her, it was the sight of his back.
Sometimes she wondered if Oliver would agree or refuse if she asked him to carry her on his back.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As they walked further and further, they began to hear the sound of clashing metal ahead.
This could not be seen because the river beside them was meandering plus there were many many tall grasses around.
When passing through those tall grasses, Oliver didn't cut them or get rid of them. He just kept walking forward, letting the grass hit his face and body.
Kim Hana was annoyed by this, but she had to endure it.
When the sound of metal clashing became so loud that it seemed to be in front of them, Oliver finally stopped his steps and stared at a very tall tree with many branches.
"Can you jump up there?" He then asked Kim Hana.
The latter was dumbfounded when she saw the tree after being asked by Oliver, wondering how many meters high it was.
Unfortunately, it wasn't something she could estimate.
"It's too tall," she said.
If she jumped there, she was worried that she would only reach halfway and then fall like a monkey who failed to jump.
A woman like her would naturally not take such an embarrassingly risky action.
Just as she spoke, Oliver suddenly grabbed her hand from the front before pulling her to his side.
She was dumbfounded but even more dumbfounded after that as Oliver's hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, holding her firmly.
Shua!
Then a pair of wings made of bone structure appeared on Oliver's back.
This was something Oliver had just realized. To fly, he didn't actually have to transform into that bone dragon figure, just by making a pair of wings with that bone array was enough to allow him to fly.
The pair of wings then flapped and his body instantly launched into the air at high speed while carrying Kim Hana's body.
"Ahhh..." The woman unintentionally cried out in surprise at the speed at which they flew into the air.
However, Oliver's other hand suddenly covered her mouth.
