Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

With the idea of ​​trying anything, Ke Ling took a step forward and impaled the mouse on the ground with her index finger.

[Ding! Experience +1.]

The beautiful sound rang out, and Ke Ling's eyes lit up. He even forgot about feeling nauseous and now hoped that more mice would appear.

One mouse grants +1 experience point. Although it's a small amount, it's safe and easy because it's not dangerous at all. He only needs to kill 100 mice to level up!

As long as he kills enough rats, he can keep leveling up, and leveling up will bring about a qualitative change!

What is this? This is his "Absolute Ability User Evolution Plan"!

Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!

Chapter 7 You don't want to become a pervert, do you?

[Ding! Title unlocked: Hundred Rats Slayer]

[Hundred Rat Slayer: When worn, it deters rodent-like creatures.]

[Ding! Experience points full, level increased to Lv2, current experience.]

[Gain 1 attribute point.]

After killing one hundred rats, Ke Ling successfully leveled up and earned the title of "Hundred Rat Slayer".

To kill these hundred rats, he dug almost three feet into the ground around him, spending the entire night doing so.

However, looking at the benefits of the upgrade, Ke Ling fell silent.

""

"That's it? That's all? Is something missing?"

One attribute point is fine, but what about the skill points and skill optimization points?! Were they eaten?!

"Is there a special way to obtain 'Calmness'? Or is it not given as a reward for leveling up?"

Ke Ling quickly accepted reality, mainly because the [Limit System] didn't have a complaint function, so no matter how dissatisfied he was, it was useless.

Moreover, he had indeed encountered a system bug, so he didn't have the confidence to complain. What if the bug was fixed after he complained?

"Keep up the good work. It's just killing 200 more rats. It's no big deal."

Inside the cave, Ke Ling rallied. Everything was moving in a positive direction, and he had nothing to complain about.

While hunting rats, Ke Ling also tried other smaller creatures, such as a nest of ants.

Unfortunately, this time the bug exploit failed. The [Extreme System] doesn't have this feature, so insects and ants don't give experience.

"System, add more points."

Without much hesitation, Ke Ling added that attribute point to his physique, turning it into a demonic attribute.

Correspondingly, the duration of immortality that can be maintained by the current physical transformation and regeneration power has also changed to 38 hours, which is only 5 points away from 48 hours.

Ke Ling's idea was to first increase his physique until he could maintain his immortality for 48 hours. There was no other reason than to save his life.

The cooldown time for the time travel function is approximately two days, or 48 hours, a fact that Ke Ling has almost confirmed.

If the immortality state can last for 48 hours, then even if he is immediately in a death crisis after being transported to a new world, he can still survive until he is transported to another world and leaves.

Having experienced being turned into a ghost immediately after time-traveling, Ke Ling is still very cautious. No one knows what will happen after the next time they time-travel.

"Continue forging the chain."

Although the effects of yesterday's forging were not reflected in the attribute values, Ke Ling did not give up. His body did not lie, and he believed that the forging was effective.

A day passed quickly in the forging process, with Ke Ling taking a short break and eating something in between.

Night fell, and Ke Ling once again arrived at yesterday's "hunting ground".

Although it only takes 200 experience points to go from Lv2 to Lv3, which is equivalent to using 200 mice.

However, after Ke Ling's killing yesterday, the rats in this area have basically disappeared, and this simple upgrade method can obviously no longer be used.

Therefore, Ke Ling set his sights on another group he had unexpectedly discovered the day before, namely the monkeys that Kamado Tanjiro had mentioned before.

These monkeys are not nocturnal animals; they rest at night and sleep in the trees. Yesterday, Ke Ling accidentally woke one of them, but he didn't do anything to it.

As Chinese people, we always have a vague and inexplicable feeling about monkeys, since most of us grew up watching monkeys.

However, monkeys are not actually very gentle animals, and they are not as likable as one might imagine.

Hordes of monkeys are terrifying; they attack farms near their settlements, destroying farmers' crops and stealing produce for food.

Tanjiro Kamado knew about these monkeys because they had once invaded the village, chasing each other, intimidating the villagers, and stealing food from them.

While this might sound like something out of a fantasy novel, it is indeed one of the reasons why most monkeys are hunted to the brink of extinction.

Of course, the reason why monkeys invade human farms and villages may also be that humans first over-expanded and occupied their habitats, and this is just their retaliation.

As creatures with a strong sense of territory, the monkeys naturally wouldn't give these "hairy monkeys" that invaded their territory a friendly look.

But there's no way around it; that's just how the world is. It's a dog-eat-dog world where only the strong survive. Only the strong have a voice and the right to create "animal sanctuaries" for the losers after they've taken over most of the resources.

In order to level up, to become a powerful figure with a voice, and to avoid being preyed upon, Ke Ling did not hesitate to kill animals. He could not be asked to kill people.

"Squeak!!!"

Ke Ling's approach startled the monkey troop again. The monkeys quickly woke up and issued a stern warning to the outsider.

In an instant, the surroundings were filled with the cries of monkeys, sharp, rapid, and full of anger.

This is a very large group, numbering close to 100, which is why Ke Ling didn't act rashly yesterday.

It wasn't fear; these monkeys clearly didn't have the ability to kill him. Under the cover of night, he was practically invincible against these natural creatures.

It's easy to get flustered when facing such a "big scene" for the first time.

Imagine being in the dark, with nearly a hundred monkeys watching you from a tree, ready to attack at any moment. Anyone would feel a bit stressed; it's a biological instinct.

Ke Ling clearly hasn't adapted to his new role yet; his mindset hasn't fully shifted to that of an immortal hunter.

"Whoo~~~"

Ke Ling climbed the tree directly. He was already good at climbing trees, and after his physical condition improved, climbing such a large tree in the wild was no problem for him.

His action clearly angered the monkey troop, and some monkeys jumped towards Ke Ling, launching the first attack.

"puff!"

Ke Ling freed one hand and slashed with his claw, knocking away the monkey that tried to jump onto his back. His sharp claws sliced ​​through the monkey's neck.

Although killing 100 rats has a limited impact on combat ability, Ke Ling has at least become familiar with the indescribable feeling of claws piercing into the flesh of living beings.

What is this called? This is called everything has meaning, and the meaning of killing 100 rats is obviously not just a simple level up.

[Ding! Experience +1.]

However, the feedback from killing a monkey caused Ke Ling's emotions to plummet instantly.

"Why is it that killing a monkey gives the same amount of experience points as killing a rat?! Does that make sense?!"

This result was clearly unexpected for Ke Ling. He had thought that the experience points given by the monkey might not be much, but he did not expect them to be so few.

"Squeak!!!"

One monkey was killed, and the remaining monkeys became even angrier. Many more monkeys jumped towards Ke Ling and launched an attack.

Ke Ling jumped down from the tree. He was no longer in the mood to continue because the rewards were far lower than he had imagined.

A monkey only gives 1 experience point, which completely dampened Ke Ling's enthusiasm. It was simply not worth it; the effort and reward were not proportional at all. Unlike rats, monkeys are much harder to kill, and this dense forest is their home turf.

If even one monkey could provide 5 experience points, Ke Ling would kill every single one of them without hesitation today.

Of course, this kind of thinking is not very advisable. Today he can slaughter a group of monkeys for 5 experience points, but tomorrow he might go on a killing spree for 10 experience points.

The bottom line is crossed step by step. Gaining experience points and becoming stronger through killing is undoubtedly the easiest way to distort one's values.

Ke Ling had already realized this, because when he killed 100 rats yesterday, he even felt a little bit of pleasure.

This is obviously abnormal. He is certain that he was not this perverted before, and he did not have a hobby of torturing and killing animals for pleasure.

Ke Ling set a bottom line for himself: he could kill in order to become stronger, because he desperately needed to become stronger, but he absolutely could not kill indiscriminately and had to refuse to kill without reason.

He couldn't help it; he didn't want to become a deranged serial killer who would murder entire families at the drop of a hat.

"puff!"

Ke Ling swung its claws and swiftly killed several ferocious monkeys that pounced on it.

Soon, more than twenty monkeys perished under Ke Ling's claws. Although both sides fought with their claws, their fighting abilities were clearly not on the same level.

Monkeys are inherently less capable than humans in combat; they are not even in the same league. If both sides are unarmed, the monkeys do not possess the means to incapacitate the human.

After more than twenty monkeys died, the troop was instantly gripped by fear. As typical opportunists, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, the troop immediately scattered and fled like birds and beasts.

"Really"

Shaking the blood off his claws, Ke Ling looked at the 23 experience points he had gained, his expression gloomy and somewhat speechless.

He didn't continue the pursuit. In these mountains and forests, if a monkey wanted to run, it would be really hard for him to catch it. He wasn't Tarzan.

Why are the experience points the same?

If Ke Ling only gained 1 experience point from killing rats yesterday, he would have thought it was quite normal. But if he only gained 1 experience point from killing monkeys today, it was enough for him to realize that something was wrong.

"Could it be because these creatures are too weak for me?"

Ke Ling made a guess. Having played many games, he knew that in some games, the acquisition of experience points was modified and would change in real time according to the player's strength.

A newbie might level up by killing a chicken, but if they wait until they kill another chicken, they might not gain even a single experience point.

"Thinking about it this way, things seem to make sense."

The characteristics of monkeys and mice, for Ke Ling now, are that they are both too weak, and they don't even have the ability to cause him any harm.

"Is the minimum amount of experience points you can gain really just 1?"

Now there's no need to worry about him becoming a psychopathic killer; an ordinary person is probably just 1 experience point to him.

He's not even willing to kill a monkey for 1 experience point; if he were to kill a person for 1 experience point, he'd probably be truly insane.

Moreover, based on his gaming experience, as his level increases, these weak creatures might not even give him a single point of experience anymore.
