Chapter 4 The Only Player?

When the first light of day appeared on the horizon, Sikong Cliff woke up, and it was obvious that this was some kind of system setting.

Sikong Ya checked his state and found that the two states of "tiredness" and "fullness" that appeared last night had disappeared. The Devour skill is also restored to a usable state. So Sikong Cliff quickly left the tree hole where he was perched and crawled towards a purple-leaved holly that he had found yesterday.

Purple-leaved holly is a plant that looks similar to real-life holly, except that it has a distinct purple ring around the edge of the leaf. And this shrub doesn't seem to grow together in patches, and there don't seem to be many in this swamp, and only two have been found in Sikong Cliff from yesterday to now.

It didn't take long for Sikong Cliff to come to Purple Leaf Holly.

"Devour, launch!"

As soon as the order was given, Sikong Cliff immediately cast a "devouring" on the purple leaf holly. In less than 20 seconds, the entire purple-leaved holly was completely swallowed by Sikong Cliff. And the place where the purple-leaved holly used to grow has also become an open field, as if nothing ever existed.

"Player Sikong Cliff, successfully devoured the level 2 plant Orchid Leaf Holly, and obtained the item Wood Essence Fragment *2, and gained 100 experience points + 10 points."

"Congratulations to the player for raising the level of Sikong Cliff to level 2, obtaining 1 skill point, and the basic attribute will be automatically allocated by the system to increase by 5 points."

Seeing the system prompt Sikong Cliff was a little disappointed, he originally hoped that after the upgrade, there would be basic attribute points that could be freely allocated by him. After all, in Sikong Ya's opinion, the basic attributes of this slime are really a bit cheating, but now that there are no attribute points that can be freely distributed, they can only be obtained by the system. Sikong Ya sighed for a moment, and then summoned the character information.

Race: Slime (Genesis)

Level: 2

Evolutionary Stage: Primitive form

Base attributes

Strength: 2

Intelligence: 2

Dexterity: 2

Constitution: 4

Basic attributes

Health: 40+4

Energy: 20

Attack: 2

Speed: 20

Defense: 3

Dodge: 0.2

Critical Hit: 0.2

"It seems that the constitution attribute is the default slime main attribute of the system." Sikong Ya looked at the upgraded attributes and muttered to himself.

After roughly figuring out the distribution of attributes after the upgrade, Sikong Ya still focused on skills.

Because the only active skill at the moment is really a bit out of reach, after hesitating again and again, Sikong Ya still decided to put this 1 skill point on the talent skill "Devour", although the skill description of the "Devouring" skill is just a simple skill description, and there is no relevant data for reference. But now it seems that this skill is still the most effective.,After all, with it, you don't have to fight with monsters to the death in order to upgrade.,Especially if you're still a slime who doesn't have any attack power.。

After clicking to confirm, a light flashed on Sikong Ya Zhou's body, and then the level of the "Devouring" skill was increased to 2.

After leveling up, Sikong Cliff immediately noticed that it was different from before, and now as long as the "Devouring" skill is locked to the target, the target's name and level can be displayed. Sikong Ya was very satisfied with this, so that he would have an extra reconnaissance skill.

After finishing the skills and glancing at the experience bar, Sikong Ya found that his current experience had reached about 20% of level 2. It seems that the experience gained from "devouring" also has the so-called skipping reward. A simple look around the area, most of them are just level 1 things. Sikong Cliff tried to devour a level 1 dandelion, and although it was obvious that the time taken to devour it had increased, the experience gained had only increased by about 2%. And yesterday, when I was only level 1, devouring such a level 1 dandelion plant could at least refresh me by more than 6% of the experience.

Sikong Ya decided that he still had to find something advanced to eat, and now if he continued to rely on these level 1 things to upgrade, he would almost have to swallow about twenty before he could level up. But according to yesterday's experience, it is estimated that if you devour fifteen more at most, you will enter a state of "fullness". At that time, it may be impossible to use the "devour" skill for a long time.

Sikong Cliff studied for a long time, and finally found the map of the game. According to the map, the extent of this swamp seems to be much larger than Sikong Cliff imagined. Yesterday's day was only about a tenth of the size of this swamp, and now I am only on the edge of this swamp. And on the map in the opposite direction of the swamp is indeed blank, without the slightest display.

This once again confirmed Sikong Ya's guess, and now the place where he is a place similar to a novice village.

Since yesterday, Sikong Cliff has had a question, why did Sikong Cliff not find any traces of other players all day yesterday. It's okay if you haven't seen any players, after all, there shouldn't be too many players who will choose a strange race like slime. The place of birth may vary depending on the player's race, so it's possible that you won't be able to meet other players. However, in the in-game chat system, Sikong Cliff never saw any other messages. There is neither the usual chatting and flirting girl information to recruit friends, nor the information of asking for a team. It's amazing that there aren't even those psoriasis ads that every game has screen swipes.

The only explanation for this seems to be that he is the only player in the game. This made Sikong Ya very depressed, in fact, he was very eager to communicate with people now, to find more clues to figure out what kind of existence he was in now.

Sikong Ya checked the game system options again, and found that the game not only has a friend system, but also has multiple channels such as "Private Chat", "Union", "City-State", "Country", "Faction" and so on in the chat system. It doesn't look like a single-player game, but it's all silent.

Finally, in a very hidden interface, Sikong Cliff found an option "Development Log"

Game Title: Infinite Evolution

It's 2041?

It's 2041!

Sikong Ya remembers that when he was hospitalized in 2017, the "development log" in front of him now shows 2041. In addition, I am indeed in a game. And this game should not be completely completed at the moment, and there is the weird (1) in the "estimated number of players", is it representing yourself?

In other words, I died in 2017, and now in 2041, my consciousness is resurrected in an unfinished game. Does all this have anything to do with my father? If so, then what did the father arrange all this for?
