"Damn it?!" Surprise and joy flashed in Tsubasa's eyes.
Initially, he had just wanted to "harvest", earn some points, and at the same time test how effective the ancient technique of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu was.
But he unexpectedly received an additional reward!
And how generous...
There was nothing to say about the reward in the form of points.
He already had 1000 points, and these 14 zombies had brought in about 9 points each, although with some deviations.
In total, he received 134 points.
Plus 3000 points for completing the achievement.
Now Tsubasa already had more than 4000 points - his "capital" had increased several times.
About such a simple and straightforward award, without any tricks, just giving points, Tsubasa could only say one thing: "Don't be shy, give us more!"
No matter how much they gave him, he wouldn't complain.
Five free attribute points was an even better reward!
Tsubasa used to think that 10 free points at the beginning was, based on his many years of experience with games, an incredibly rare thing and would be very difficult to obtain in the future.
But here they were again!
This reward system was completely incomprehensible.
Well, it didn't matter!
At least now Tsubasa knew that he could get free stat points by completing achievements.
Now he had a direction to get those points in the future.
He had already clearly felt the changes in his physical attributes during the recent fight. Although the initial 10 free points only increased each stat by a few points, the improvement was quite noticeable.
After all, before he wouldn't have been able to deliver 14 blows in half a second!
[Scroll of Enhancement +2]: From the DNF game world, can be used immediately, does not require points, can be applied to any item, greatly improves all stats. (Note: 100% success rate of enhancement, no failure rate, use without fear)
It was a new reward, like the Kuyo Knife, also from the DNF game.
Tsubasa had received it for the first time.
But in terms of rarity and importance, it was in no way inferior to free characteristic points.
A few minutes later!
"Sensei, let's rest here for a while!"
By this time, Tsubasa and Shizuka Marikawa had reached the third-floor stairs, with the second floor below.
They were lucky - they had met several groups of zombies along the way, but there were few of them, and Tsubasa had dealt with them easily.
He had earned about 300 points!
It was just a pity that no new achievements had appeared, which disappointed Tsubasa a little.
After the previous lesson, Shizuka had become much more careful.
She walked more quietly, and even seeing the corpses of the students scattered everywhere, she only covered her mouth with her hand, not making a sound.
This helped to avoid attracting the attention of zombie crowds and many problems.
It was still unknown what was going on on the second floor, so Tsubasa was in no hurry to go down with Shizuka.
Besides, having just received a new batch of rewards and points, he decided to first use them to strengthen himself a little more.
In such a situation, every, even small, strengthening reduced the pressure on him.
The first thing, of course, was to use up the free attribute points.
His speed and nervous reaction were sufficient for now; there was no need to increase them.
Therefore, Tsubasa decided to focus on strength and endurance, distributing the points in a ratio of 3:2. This way, his strength and endurance were equal.
[Owner: Tsubasa Amagiri
Age: 19
Strength: 24 (a normal person has 10)
Stamina: 24 (a normal person has 10)
Speed: 18 (10 for a normal person)
Nervous reaction: 22 (10 for a normal person)
Items: [Kuyo's Knife (Highest Tier)]
Points: 4479]
After adding the free attribute points, Tsubasa immediately felt changes in his body.
His muscles had become even stronger!
His breathing had become more even!
Even his heartbeat seemed to become stronger.
Even the recent fatigue had passed.
"What a pleasant feeling!"
Tsubasa clicked his tongue and, looking at the number of points on the system panel, asked:
"System, how many stat points can I get for these four thousand plus?"
[Ding, attribute point exchange: 1000 to 1. With the current amount of points, the owner can exchange for 4 free attribute points. Do you want to exchange?]
Tsubasa rolled his eyes—that exchange rate would make even a dog shake its head.
"Exchange!"
Although the exchange rate was extortionate, and the hard-earned four thousand points were converted into only four attribute points, which seemed extremely unprofitable, now was not the time for such calculations!
Points could be earned again!
But raising stats was a very difficult task, especially for Tsubasa at the moment. Strength was the most important thing; everything else could wait.
Even if he could exchange the points for just one attribute point, he would agree without hesitation!
By distributing four attribute points in a 2+2 manner, he completed the upgrade.
Ignoring the feeling of his physical attributes increasing, he looked at the last reward [Enhancement Scroll +2].
Was it even worth thinking about?
"System, use [Enhancement Scroll +2] on Kuyo's Knife!"
The stats of Kuyo's Knife were already excellent, and he was looking forward to seeing how much better they would be after this enhancement.
[Ding, successfully used, power-up begins!]
Looking at Tsubasa leaning against the stairs, Shizuka Marikawa tilted her head.
"Maybe Tsubasa-kun is tired?"
Remembering that although they had walked a short distance, they had encountered many dangers, and that Tsubasa had protected her all this time, she became thoughtful and began to search her pockets for something edible so that Tsubasa could regain his strength.
She loved to snack and usually carried some with her.
But then she discovered that she was wearing a white coat, not regular clothes, and there was nothing in her pockets.
She sighed in disappointment.
Then she remembered how she once watched movies with her friend Rika Minami, and she had told her about some ways to relax a man.
True, this method was a bit confusing!
Although she was absent-minded, her cheeks still turned slightly red.
But remembering how Tsubasa had protected her all this time like a manga hero, Shizuka felt her heart flutter.
She quietly approached Tsubasa and, under his stunned gaze, hugged his head.
At this moment, Tsubasa was completely focused on strengthening the Kuyo Knife and was completely oblivious to Shizuka's actions.
"Tsubasa-kun, thank you for protecting the teacher all this time. I know you must be very tired. As a thank you, let the teacher help you relax!"
Shizuka's voice, sweet as always, now sounded more flirtatious and gentle, as if she was slightly drunk.
"Hmm? Am I tired? Why didn't I know about this? Relax? Sorry, but is that really a decent suggestion?" Tsubasa stammered, completely caught off guard.
"It's just to relax, don't think about anything like that~" Shizuka giggled softly.
"Why does this dialogue seem so familiar? Something is wrong here!" Tsubasa thought, a sense of foreboding washing over him.
Feeling Shizuka's arms around his head tighten slightly, Tsubasa's eyes widened. He wanted to say something, but the next moment, his vision went dark and his face was pressed against Shizuka's impressive chest.
"Damn!!! Marikawa-sensei, I had no idea you were like this... You really can do it!" Tsubasa exclaimed, his voice muffled.
