Chapter 42: Acquire knowledge and open the level panel

Jiang Li’s hobbies, besides eating, sleeping, and drinking, were reading. Back then, the hospital was not far from the library, and she often went to read books after chemotherapy, staying for a whole day, leaving reluctantly only when the library closed.

 Now that she had found a place where books were stored, how could she resist the urge to go and look? With the Snake King’s permission, Jiang Li took the key, unable to contain her excitement, and opened the bamboo hut. Seeing the room full of books, Jiang Li’s eyes lit up. She quickly slipped inside and started reading. The books here were all written in ancient script. It wasn’t like modern times, where they used paper to record, here they used various leaves.

Some had been stored for too long and were slightly dry, so you had to be gentle when turning the pages. Fortunately, Jiang Li still had some of the original owner’s memories, so reading the script wasn’t too difficult. Including the one she was holding now, it recorded the origin, evolution, and hierarchy of the beastmen… She also learned that beastmen cultivation had a level division.

A, S, SS, SSS… Beastmen with only a little spiritual energy shortly after birth were classified as A. Beastmen who could transform into human form and had some spiritual energy were classified as S. For example, the three little ones, who could transform into human form but had low spiritual energy, were somewhere between A and S. She, on the other hand, was barely an SS.

Jiang Li raised her hand and flipped to the next page. The following pages recorded the story of the five major tribes angering the Beast God, which led to the curse on the royal family. It also recorded the solution, just as the Snake King had told her. As Jiang Li finished reading this book, a familiar voice rang in her head. “Ding—” “Congratulations, host, for gaining knowledge, unlocking the level panel.” “Huh?” Jiang Li’s questioning voice just came out.

A transparent panel appeared in front of her, displaying her identity information. Name: Jiang Li. Gender: Female. Race: Bird Tribe. Level: SS Talent: 0.5 Characteristics: Can eat, can sleep, physically strong. … Jiang Li immediately focused on the talent column.

What did 0.5 mean? What did it mean? “Dog system, where are you?” As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, the system’s voice came through. “I’m coming, I’m coming.” “Why is my talent 0.5? Explain it to me.” Seeing her ask this, the system chuckled awkwardly before slowly explaining. “Your talent was originally 0, it was only after you killed the giant python yesterday that I reluctantly upgraded you to 0.5.” “Upgrade me to 1, why 0.5? Why can’t you give me 0.5 more?

I feel like my strength has improved!” “No, no, no, I don’t care what you feel, I care what I feel.” Jiang Li: “…” “Then what’s the full score?” Jiang Li asked again. “10.” Jiang Li was even more speechless. “Full score is ten, why don’t you give me one point?” The system answered mercilessly, “No, no, no!” Jiang Li’s face instantly turned sour, she directly closed the panel in front of her, covered her ears with her hands, and ignored the system no matter how much it nagged. Seeing that Jiang Li refused to pay attention to her, the system softened. “

Alright, alright, actually 0.5 and 1 are basically the same.” “To me, there’s a difference.” System “…” “Okay, then I’ll change it for you.” Seeing that 0.5 was erased and changed to 1, Jiang Li felt better. “Go on, what else do you have to say?” Seeing this woman who changed her face faster than flipping a book, the system also complained to itself, why did it find her?

“This panel is a gift for you, you can release it anytime to observe the enemy’s level and abilities. Remember, when you encounter someone with a high level, don’t hesitate, just run.” Jiang Li couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the system. “I know that without you saying it.” She couldn’t be stupid enough to stand there and wait for someone to kill her, right?

“Okay, okay, just remember it, I’m going now.” As the system’s voice faded, Jiang Li started reading the ancient books again. It wasn’t until it got dark, and the visibility in the bamboo hut became dim and obstructed, that Jiang Li, who had been immersed in reading the ancient books, realized that it was already night. There were no light bulbs here, only torches for lighting.

Afraid of damaging the books in the bamboo hut, Jiang Li had to organize and put away the books she had read, preparing to look at them again tomorrow. Relying on her memory of the way she came, she walked in the direction she was going back. Sure enough, after walking a few steps, Jiang Li got lost. Looking at the fork in the road in front of her, she forgot which way to go. She raised her hand and scratched her head, thought for a moment, and decided to use the most traditional method. “Pointing at soldiers…”

 Finally, her finger pointed to the right path. “Hmm, let’s take this one.” Jiang Li raised her foot and walked towards the right path. But after walking a distance, she realized something was wrong. The road was getting darker and darker, even the small path she was walking on became narrow. Jiang Li stopped and realized she had taken the wrong path. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, a sudden gust of cool wind blew, carrying a strange fragrance.

“Leaving so soon?” A voice, both familiar and seductive, came from behind her. Jiang Li’s body stiffened slightly, she turned around and looked. From the darkness, a graceful figure slowly walked towards her. She gradually walked into the light, and Jiang Li could finally see her clearly.

It was the woman from the dungeon. Seeing Jiang Li’s surprised expression, the woman didn’t show much emotion. “What? Didn’t expect me to show up?”

Jiang Li pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hua Yun. I’m in charge of guarding the dungeon and punishing criminals.” Jiang Li frowned slightly, not understanding why she was here. “But this isn’t your dungeon.” “Yeah, but what can I do? Seeing you reminds me of how you looked in the dungeon, I can’t help but want to bully you again.

” Jiang Li “???” This person, no, this snake, is she crazy? As she was stunned, Hua Yun suddenly threw a small snake at her. Luckily, Jiang Li came back to her senses in time and hurriedly dodged the snake’s attack. “What are you trying to do? I don’t know you, and we have no grievances, why are you doing this to me?” Hua Yun heard this and seemed to hear a joke.

 “You have no grievances with me. But I, Hua Yun, am like this, I see someone I hate, I want to eliminate them!” As her words fell, Hua Yun’s voice suddenly became sharp. Her beautiful face instantly transformed into a snake’s head, opening its mouth wide and attacking Jiang Li. Jiang Li quickly took out her dagger, and as she was about to bite down, she quickly slashed at her face with the dagger.

 A bloodstain instantly appeared on her face, which startled Hua Yun, and she quickly transformed back into a human. “Damn it! You dare to scratch my face!” Hua Yun raised her hand and touched her stinging cheek, and when she saw the bright red blood on her fingers, she couldn’t contain her anger.
