"Since the Talent has already been upgraded, and the Waist Bag has been fused, it's time to level up," said Zhang Yanhang, who had finally understood why some of the veteran Awakeners in the group were rising through the ranks so quickly. It turned out to be because the Ashen World allowed rapid power leveling.
He had only been in the Ashen World for three hours and had already grown so much stronger, while those veteran Awakeners had likely started entering the Ashen World as soon as they awakened their powers half a year ago. No wonder their strength was at a whole different level compared to Zhang Yanhang. After he returned to the Main World, he definitely needed to ask the veteran Awakeners about their knowledge of the Ashen World.
[Name: Zhang Yanhang (First Tier)]
[Level: LV.4 (0/400)]
"Speaking of which, how many levels do I have to reach in order to advance to Second Tier? Is it LV.10?" As Zhang Yanhang pondered this question, he clicked on the upgrade button.
[Would you like to spend 400 Soul Points to raise your level to LV.5?]
"Yes, raise the level to LV.5." A mundane white light flashed, and Zhang Yanhang's level was increased.
[Successfully raised to level LV.5, Free Attribute Points +4.]
After leveling up, Zhang Yanhang glanced at the requirements for the next level.
[Name: Zhang Yanhang (First Tier)]
[Level: LV.5 (0/500)]
"Just as I expected, leveling to LV.6 only requires 500 Soul Points." Zhang Yanhang did a quick calculation and realized that after upgrading to LV.6, he would be left with 209 Soul Points, and he would need 600 Soul Points for LV.7. In other words, he was short by 391 Soul Points to upgrade again.
[Would you like to spend 500 Soul Points to raise your level to LV.6?]
"Yes, raise the level to LV.6." Another mundane white light flashed by, and Zhang Yanhang's level was raised once more. He even felt that he might be able to raise his level directly to LV.10 today, and if he could indeed do that, he would be able to verify whether he could advance to Second Tier at LV.10.
[Successfully raised to level LV.6, Free Attribute Points +4.]
"Got another 8 Attribute Points, not too shabby." After leveling up, Zhang Yanhang decided to boost his Attribute Values, but before that, he opened the Attribute List for a look.
[Constitution: 16 (+1)]
"Previously, the Longevity Talent increased my Constitution, and then the set attribute further increased it, making Constitution my highest attribute."
Zhang Yanhang felt that a higher Constitution Attribute would be helpful when fighting zombies; it was a simple reason: an increased Constitution Attribute meant increased Physical Strength and less rest time, allowing him to operate better on a 007 work schedule.
[Would you like to strengthen your Attribute Points?]
[Option One: Strength +1 point.]
[Option Two: Agility +1 point.]
[Option Three: Constitution +1 point.]
[Option Four: Intelligence +1 point.]
[Option Five: Charm +1 point.]
This time, when adding Attribute Points, Zhang Yanhang decided to distribute the eight Attribute Points evenly, but not in the sense of allocating two points each to Strength and Agility, and then four points to Intelligence.
His idea of even distribution was to allocate two points each to Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Intelligence. In terms of fighting zombies, Spiritual Power really didn't play much of a role. To put it another way, his normal attacks on zombies already dealt excess damage, and using Spiritual Power would simply be overkill, transforming excess damage into superfluous damage.
"So, I choose Option Four, Intelligence +1."
After adding the Attribute Points, Zhang Yanhang opened the complete data list to check the changes.

"Besides an increase of 60 points to my Life Value, even the Life Value Recovery Speed has increased by one point, from two points per hour originally to three points per hour now. What could be the reason for that?"
Zhang Yanhang thought for a while; he felt he hadn't done anything extra, so this increase in Life Value Recovery Speed was probably due to the increase in his Constitution Attribute. Follow current novels on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"I'll have to wait and see if the Life Value Recovery Speed increases again next time I increase my Constitution Attribute," he thought, deciding to pay more attention to the Life Value Recovery Speed to see if it really did increase as a result of his Constitution Attribute.
"I need 391 more Soul Points to upgrade to LV.7, which should be achievable after killing about seventy to eighty more zombies."
Having greatly exceeded the previous small target he set, Zhang Yanhang prepared to set a new one: to gather enough Soul Points to level up to LV.8 within the next two hours.
After leveling up, Zhang Yanhang looked at the canned food in the basket and fell into thought, "It must be around one o'clock in the morning in the Main World now, right? Should I have a midnight snack at this time?"
Zhang Yanhang had dinner at six o'clock, and it had been about six to seven hours since then. Normally, one would eat again after such a long interval, but after some thought, he decided against it. The '90s canned food was tough to stomach, especially for someone who wasn't used to traditional American flavors, practically qualifying each as a form of dark cuisine.
So, Zhang Yanhang once again chose to drink only some mineral water to slightly replenish his hydration. After all, he was an Awakener who could sustain his body with Spiritual Power in extreme conditions, ensuring his survival and activity for days without food, making a few hours without a meal completely inconsequential.
