Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

Lu Xiao glanced at the group of people; their levels were generally around 10, and their combat power was around 60.

Ignoring their mockery, Lu Xiao walked straight toward a ferocious antlered deer.

When he was 10 meters away from the Berserker Deer, his body suddenly disappeared.

"How did he disappear?"

"It should be an invisibility skill. Invisibility is a high-level skill, and it can only be inherited by a master when a high-level opportunity is triggered!"

"This is the skill I've always dreamed of! I'd be laughing in my sleep if I had it!"

The adventurers who had been mocking the two children were now incredibly envious of Lu Xiao.

When Lu Xiao's figure reappeared, he launched a breakthrough attack, doubling his attack power.

He killed the berserk horned deer with a single sword strike.

[Slay a level 10 Berserker Deer and gain 200 experience points.]

As expected, higher-level monsters give more experience.

Besides, the antler deer is a treasure trove of resources.

Deer antlers, deer blood, and deer hide are all valuable materials.

However, he was completely clueless about life skills such as skinning.

Just then, a little red-haired girl with a dusty face ran over.

"I can help you obtain materials from the antler deer and carry your luggage. I'll accompany you until the end of this adventure. You only need to pay me 1000 coins."

One thousand yuan is the standard price for scavengers on the sixth floor; there's no overcharging.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Lily. I am a dwarf and I am skilled in transformation magic. I can transform into a cat or a hunting dog."

The little people are not very strong in combat; their only help is probably in collecting materials and carrying luggage.

Sometimes, after an adventurer dies, the little people will quickly transform into animals and escape. This is also why the little people are willing to become scavengers; they have unique survival skills.

"You didn't go with any other adventurers?"

"No, I went straight to the sixth floor. If there are any suitable adventurers, I will ask them. This is also for my own safety," Lily said.

"Okay, then come with us. We'll pay you a 500 deposit first, and you can have the other half after we're done."

"Card or cash?" Lily pulled out a POS machine.

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment. These days, POS machines have become standard equipment for scavengers.

After spending 500 yuan, Lily officially became a member of the team.

She pulled out a dagger and skillfully cut off the deer antlers, then the deer hide, and then took out a bottle to squeeze out the essence of deer blood from the heart.

These materials alone are worth several thousand dollars, so this deal is definitely worth it.

Lily then put the materials into the large package on her back, which was half a circle larger than her, and she didn't know where she got the strength from.

"Mission accomplished, let's go!" Lily smiled.

His smile was rather professional, but it didn't reveal his true emotions.

"Let's go," Lu Xiao said.

The three began exploring the sixth floor.

The monsters on this floor are mainly level 10 Berserk Deer and Berserk Boar. These two monsters are good at charging, and being hit by their antlers or tusks will be very dangerous.

Moreover, the boss on this floor is unpredictable; sometimes it's the Deer King, and sometimes it's the Boar King.

Lu Xiao was noticeably more cautious when fighting monsters on this level than before.

Before each monster kill, you must wait for the Swift Wind skill to finish its cooldown before launching an attack.

This cautious nature, ironically, earned Sinon's approval.

After killing about 10 antler deer and 10 wild boars, Lu Xiao's level finally reached level 9, and his combat power increased by 9 points again.

"When are you planning to go back?" Sinon asked, yawning.

"I'll come back right away once I reach level 10."

"Greed knows no bounds. You've already leveled up four times today, aren't you satisfied yet?"

"Just one more level, please! Shi Nai, you're the best person!"

Shi Nai rolled her eyes at Lu Xiao: "Then level up to 10."

Actually, Shino wasn't bored; rather, seeing Lu Xiao level up so quickly made her itchy to level up as well.

Sinon's current level is 17. If this continues, Lu Xiao will catch up with her soon, which makes her feel a sense of urgency.

On the other side, Lily's pack was almost overflowing, filled with wild boar tusks, deer antlers, and other such items.

Lily was panting heavily as she walked.

"Are you alright?" Lu Xiao asked with concern.

Lily maintained her professional smile: "I'm fine. Congratulations on your successful harvest of so many materials."

For some reason, this smile made Lu Xiao feel a little sad.

There's no way around it; the little people are just that kind of race by nature. Limited by their genes, they can only make a living by doing this kind of work.

Of course, many dwarfs also engage in theft. When people talk about dwarfs, they unconsciously think of the word "thief," so they are not well-liked among humans.

"Let's take a break."

Lu Xiao took out two bottles of water and handed them to Shino and Lily.

Lu Xiao drank it all in one gulp, and his body was rehydrated.

Lily held the water bottle for a long time without opening the cap.

"Aren't you thirsty?" Lu Xiao asked.

Lily shook her head, feeling touched. "I'm a little thirsty. Thank you. This bottle of water is worth 10 yuan in the dungeon. Just give me a 10 yuan discount when I pay the balance."

"What are you talking about? This bottle of water is a gift for you. I'll pay the balance."

Lu Xiao was slightly speechless. It was only 10 yuan. But then he thought about it and realized that people in this line of work risk their lives and it's not easy for them to earn money.

Lu Xiao unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Lily: "Do you want me to feed you water again?"

"No need~ Thank you." Lily picked up the water bottle and took a big gulp. After drinking, her lips were noticeably rosier.

After resting, the group continued their exploration of this floor.

During the process, we killed a lot of ferocious boars and ferocious antler deer, so much so that we had so many materials that we couldn't store them all, and we had to reluctantly give them up.

Finally, after three hours, Lu Xiao successfully leveled up to level 10.

[Level increased to LV.10, combat power increased by 10 points.]

[Gained a level 10 exclusive skill, Super Shadow Clone.]

【Super Shadow Clone】: Creates a clone that is exactly the same as the original. The clone has 100% of the original's combat power and 100% of its health. The clone lasts indefinitely until its health is depleted or it cancels itself.

Wow~ This skill is pretty powerful.

Generally, clone skills are easily destroyed upon contact, or they inherit only a small portion of the original body's combat power.

This skill has been fully inherited; it's not as simple as one plus one equals two now.

"Lu Xiao, what's wrong?" Shi Nai waved her hand in front of Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I've finally reached level 10, I can go home now."

"I never thought I'd be so patient as to help you level up to 10."

"How about I treat you to dinner as compensation for this team adventure?"

"Heh, just for one meal?" Sinon pointed to the package behind Lily. "I demand that all the supplies inside be split in half!"

"ah!?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"Sure, of course." Lu Xiao smiled insincerely, knowing that this bag of items was worth tens of thousands.

Lily watched the two of them thoughtfully, not understanding their relationship.
