Novel Bin Chapter 15: Level Up
"Wake up, XinXin, it\'s already morning," he tried to wake her up, shaking her shoulders.
"Nnn, let me sleep more, brother," Li Xin replied in a sleepy voice clinging to him.
"No more, it will be noon soon, you know," Li Wei shook his head, looking through the glass window; the sun was already high in the sky.
He has already reminded the inn lady, Clara, not to send breakfast as they were both tired and needed to sleep.
"Nnn, brother, just a little more," Li Xin begged, hugging him tightly and burying her face in his chest with eyes closed.
"No means no; you are going to wake up," Li Wei didn\'t care about her cuteness and stretched her ears.
"Ahh, wait, I will wake up!" Li Xin cried painfully.
"Then do it fast and get ready; we should go and take breakfast first," Li Wei replied with a strict tone.
"Um," Li Xin pouted at him angrily but still listened to him and started to get ready.
Looking at her, Li Wei just shook his head with a smile.
\'I must earn money as soon as possible. Even though I have a 10× bonus, the system still buys the monsters at a normal rate. The Adventurers Guild will provide me more than the system if I hunt rare monsters. But if I can get the system to accept the guild\'s request as a system quest, it will be much easier as the rewards will be increased 10× times,\' he thought as he made plans for what to do today.
After finishing their breakfast at inn they both headed out.
"Brother, where are we heading?" Li Xin inquired, walking on the road in her new black dress with detached sleeves.
It looked like a fantasy outfit that suited her black hair and black eyes.
Her oval face and small lips made her more enchanting in her new attire, attracting the attention of nearby people.
"Of course, to the west gate," Li Wei replied with a shrug.
He too was wearing his new outfit, similar to a fantasy warrior. He looked cooler than before with his black hair and black eyes.
"Hmm, isn\'t that where we came from?" Li Xin muttered with surprise.
"Yes, we will level up in low-level areas first, then go to the higher levels," Li Wei explained to her as he headed towards the west gate with her.
He could level up with his 10× bonus, and when he is strong, he will go to higher-level areas.
Li Xin who was walking beside suddenly noticed the people who were wearing the attire of the earth "Brother, look, they are from Earth," she pointed towards them.
"Well, they will find their way here someday. Anyway, we should focus on leveling up. Earth is not Earth anymore; it\'s more like a different world where all people from the earth are transmigrated in another world with the system," Li Wei advised.
"Okay brother, but what are we going to do after we level up?" Li Xin nodded and asked with a curious expression.
"We will first become stronger and then head towards the capital city where the eternal dungeon is. Also, we will buy a house there." Li Wei explained he has already made rough plan for their future.
As they continued to talk, they soon arrived at their designated destination.
Li Wei looked at the forest that was only a little way from them.
"Let\'s go; there are only normal monsters like rabbits and slimes. Just kill them when you see them," he stated, heading inside the forest.
"Um," Li Xin nodded and followed him, and they both started to farm the XP.
...
Inside the forest a rabbit monster was running from something when suddenly he was hit by a fireball.
*Bang!* *Sizzle!*
*Whinny!* The rabbit whinnied in pain before dying as its body burned like charcoal.
"Brother, look you burned it," Li Xin complained, looking at the charcoal rabbit monster.
"Well, anyway, what is your level now?" he asked not caring about it. It\'s already been a few hours they are farming for XP.
He reached level 10 long ago, but he wanted her to gain more XP before heading towards a high-level area, so he set the experience share to 100 percent, making all his XP go towards her.
"Umm, I am at level 7, brother," Li Xin replied, checking her panel.
"Okay, we should eat first and then go to the higher level area," Li Wei suggested, heading back to the city with her.
After done with their meals, they both arrived at the east side of the city where the farm area was.
They both looked at the forest a little away from them and the farms.
"You can level up faster here. But remember, there are monsters like Giant Rats and Giant Lizards," Li Wei warned her about the monsters.
"Brother, can we level up at the previous place?" Li Xin asked immediately when she heard the names of the monsters.
"No, you have to get used to it sooner or later," Li Wei directly rejected her.
No matter what, it isn\'t the world where you can stay weak.
Li Xin looked at him with an unwilling expression but followed him inside, knowing it was useless to ask.
As they both continued, they saw a monster a little away from them.
"Make sure to stay close to me as the levels here will be higher than before," Li Wei whispered.
Li Xin nodded her head and kept silent as they both looked at the giant rat before them.

**Analyze Panel/End**
"I will make my move first, but you have to kill them, okay?" he asked, looking at her.
Unlike the dark monsters, normal monsters have red blood like humans. She was still a little unwilling to kill them.
"Okay," Li Xin nodded with an unwilling expression, but she knew she has to get used to it.
After hearing her reply Li Wei focused his attention on the Giant Rat, taking out his sword.
He didn\'t hesitate and directly used the skill "Shadow Step," appearing behind the Giant Rat.
Before the giant rat could react he attacked with his sword, "Slash," using skill.
The giant rat sensed something amiss and hurriedly dodged.
*Swish*
*Grwaaaa!* but it was already late as the attacked hit the rat and it roared in pain red blood coming out from its wounds on the back.
"XinXin, do it!" Li Wei shouted.
Hearing his shout, Li Xin didn\'t hesitate and channeled her mana.
"Fire Ball!" "Frost Nova!" She attacked with her wooden staff pointed at the Giant Rat.
*Boom!* *Sizzle!*
*Grwaaa!* The Giant Rat roared after getting hit with two skills; it turned towards Li Xin with red bloodshot eyes.
"XinXin, kill it," Li Wei instructed, watching from a distance. He wasn\'t going to intervene until her life was in danger.
Li Xin heard him but her attention was fixed on the Giant Rat that was coming towards her.
Without hesitation, she used another skill. "Evasion," she chanted, disappearing from the place.
*Gawww!* The Giant Rat only bit the air as she escaped.
It roared in anger, charging towards her again, appearing a few ten meters away.
"Fireball, Fireball, Fireball" Li Xin continuously fired three fireballs at the Giant Rat as she used her agility to avoid it\'s attack.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
*Grwaaaa!* The Giant Rat roared in pain, hit by the bombardment of fireballs.
It was already injured by Li Wei, making its reactions slow, and now hit with three fireballs, its injuries became more severe.
Li Xin didn\'t let go of the chance when she saw its movement slowed further and directly took out the sword from the item box.
"Slash," she chanted using the sword skill aimed he attack at the neck of the giant rat.
*Swish* A sound of flesh cutting rang as the sword directly cut through the neck with speed.
*Gwa–* Before it could roar completely, its head separated from the body, falling on the ground with a thud.
Li Wei watched everything with a calm face and approached her.
"Looks like it was the best decision to raise your agility and intelligence," he confirmed.
If not for raising these attributes, it would\'ve been even harder to kill it.
"Um," Li Xin just nodded. She wasn\'t affected by the killing, but she was still unwilling to fight with something creepy as rat.
"Okay, Let\'s level you up," Li Wei suggested ignoring her unwillingness.
They both searched and killed the monsters for a few hours because there were also other people who came here to level up making the number of monsters low.
...
After some time, Li Wei stood at a distance, watching Li Xin who was fighting against the giant lizard when she suddenly launched a lethal attack on its head with her staff.
*Katcha!* A painful bone-piercing sound was heard as the staff ruthlessly crushed the area it hit.
*Grrwa* A painful roar rang out from the big lizard\'s mouth as it ended up dying.
"Ohh did I do the wrong thing" Li Wei muttered watching her.
She killed the guy very ruthlessly what if she did same with him if she got angry. He felt chill just thinking about it and started thinking of a way to deal with this.

"Brother, I leveled up, and got the class quest that says I have to use skills 100 times to complete it," Li Xin informed, looking at her panel.
Li Wei also looked at her panel nodding his head.
"Just as Emily\'s father told us, I think there will also be a change in XP points after you upgrade the class. He said that even if we kill level 10 monsters after upgrading our class, we will not gain any XP from them also the XP we will gain killing monsters and our XP bar will change," he explained thinking about the XP bar.
\'The XP bar doubles every time you level up, so it would reach in trillions or even quadrillions if it goes like this; it was no wonder the system changed it.\' he thought and looked at his quest that he received earlier after leveling up to 10.
[Jack of all trades class Quest:-
Upgrade at least 25 skills to level 5
Completion: 12/25
Difficulty: E
Rewards: 10000 XP]
"XinXin, complete your class quest; there is still a little time before the evening," he suggested looking at the time.
"Okay, brother," Li Xin replied agreeing readily, she was excited about the class upgrades.
Li Wei looked at her excited expression with a smile and focused on his character panel.
\'Let\'s buy some useful skills and upgrade them.\' he thought and selected some useful skills.
[Ding, Congratulations on learning the following skills:- Spiritual Communication, Charge, Footwork, Grappling, Evasion, Lockpicking, Trap Detection, Dagger Proficiency, Divine Smite, Divine Protection, Shield and Sword Proficiency, Exorcism, Divine Leadership, and Fake Status (Goddess of Death edition).]
"Now I don\'t have to worry too much as I can use a number of skills as advantage, but it really feels great to have more skills," he murmured with a smile and upgraded all of them.
[Ding, Congratulations on completing your class Quest; you have gained 10000 XP.]
Li Wei looked at the notification with a disappointed face.
"Well, there is really no upgrade class for Jack of all trades. No wonder people don\'t choose this class," he muttered and waited for Li Xin to complete her class quest.
After few ten minutes she was also done using her skills and completed her class quests.
"Brother, I am done. Look, there are these class upgrades I can choose," Li Xin showed her system panel to him.
Class Upgrade:-
*** Rogue → •Thief •Assassin •Infiltrator •Acrobat •Ninja
***Mage → •Elemental Mage •Enchanter •Sorcerer •Battlemage •Healing Mage
***Warrior → •Swordsman •Knight •Gladiator •Shieldbearer •Cavalry •Sentinel
Note:- You can only choose one for each main class.
Li Wei looked at her class tree and thought for few minutes.
"Hmm, you should choose Ninja, Sorcerer, and Swordsman it will be much more easier for you," he advised, looking at the class tree.
"Okay, then I will select them," Li Xin agreed directly, choosing them without hesitation.
[Ding, Congratulations to player Li Xin for upgrading the class. You will now receive 25 SP, 25 AP, and 250 coins every time you level up.]
[Ding, Congratulations to player Li Xin, your Strength, Intelligence, and Agility attributes will receive an increase of 10 every time you level up.]
[Ding, Congratulations to player Li Xin for acquiring the following skills: Shadow Step, Silent Strike, Shadow Clone (Special), Telekinesis, Rapid Incantation, Summoning (Special), Sword Mastery, Parrying, and Swordsmanship (Special).]
"Brother, look, I am receiving more SP and more AP, just like Emily\'s Father said but I still didn\'t get the additional attributes," Li Xin explained, showing her panel to him she was happy with this because she can catch up with him slowly and will not be a burden.
"It\'s good that you will get extra SP and AP, as for additional attributes, you will get them when you do the second class quest. The healer class is the only exception," Li Wei replied with a smile.
But he felt a little dejected that he was not going to receive any bonus because he didn\'t have any upgraded class.
"Ding," suddenly he received a message from the chat. He opened it, thinking that the Goddess of Death must have a way, that\'s why she texted him.
Goddess of Death: Do you really think that receiving a ten-times bonus was a coincidence? You were given it because, the jack-off-all-trades class is the worst class and didn\'t have many things. Don\'t hope that you will get everything for free because of it.
After seeing the message, he got even more depressed.
\'Ahh it really hurts thinking of having the worst class, but I can change it later,\' he thought with a pain and looked at Li Xin.
"Let\'s go; it\'s almost evening. Tomorrow, we will go to the Adventurers Guild to upgrade our rank and take the quest as well as earn money," he explained his plans for tomorrow, heading back to the city with her.
But when he thought about the receptionist Sophia, he felt that tomorrow would be more depressing. She was definitely planning something.
He really wanted to escape, but if she turned out to be some big shot, it would be useless to run as she can directly command mages and warriors to find him.
