I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Back on Track

“The black mist's contraction speed is not is not shrinking fast. It has only shrunk by nearly a hundred meters since last time.”

“It's been a month and a half since I last observed the black mist.”

A month and a half, about a hundred meters. The speed was indeed not fast.

However, Huo Sheng could not be sure if the subsequent contraction speed of the black mist would become faster.

The problem was that no matter how the black mist contracted, there was no way to deal with it.

The Holy Tower was the same.

“Anyway, I'm just telling you this without any particular intention, just casual chatting. All you need to do is keep getting stronger. With regard to the Holy Tower and the black mist, the only thing we can do is watch and wait.”

Lu Ming nodded when he heard Huo Sheng's conclusion.

It was too dangerous, nothing can be done.

Therefore, he did not think too much about it. He just focused on farming his attributes.

Speaking of the devil.

The dining room door was pushed open and Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan walked in.

“The advancement was successful. Let's try again.”

The black light representing the curse once again bloomed from Wei Lan's hand again and landed on Lu Ming.

Lu Ming felt a slight heaviness in his body.

Opening the attribute panel, he realized that his three-dimensional attributes were still reduced by half—this meant that advancement could not improve the effect of the Weakness Curse superpower.

However, the intensity had indeed increased significantly compared to before.

If Wei Lan's superpower was like a piece of paper before, which Lu Ming could break with a sneeze, now, after reaching the Level 4, Wei Lan's superpower could be likened to a light vest for Lu Ming.

It would be easy to intentionally tear it apart, but if he did not intend to, he could wear it without any problem.

Lu Ming stood up and moved around a bit, nodding in satisfaction.

“Pretty good!”

Wei Lan's superpower offset the impact of Lu Ming's advancement, making it convenient for him to continue farming attributes.

Moreover, the strength of his superpower was controllable.

Basically, if Lu Ming wanted to dispel the Weakness Curse, he could do so. Although Wei Lan was introduced by Huo Sheng, Lu Ming did not not really trust him much, let alone Wei Lan.

Controllable Weakness Curse intensity meant that he would not have to worry about the consequences of asking for help from Huo Sheng. Lu Ming believed that this was the most important thing.

Thinking about this, Lu Ming could not wait to start his training today.

He was eager to go out and start exercising, but Zhang Chengcheng chuckled and said, “Brother Lu, you haven't finished your breakfast.”

“I'll skip it, let's start!” Lu Ming said in high spirits.

The plan was good, and the results were also good.

Before Lu Ming's advancement, Lu Ming could still obtain attributes with Zhan Chengcheng's assistance.

Now, with Wei Lan, it essentially offset the gains from Lu Ming's advancement. Furthermore, with Chengcheng also achieving advancement, his plan to farm attributes was back on track.

In fact, the results were even better than before!

While Lu Ming was training, Huo Sheng rambled on, “Now, there's one thing you have to pay attention to. You have to control the duration of your training. Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan are both Level 4 Awakened. Replenishing their physical strength and superpower energy requires consuming Tier 3 zombie crystals. However, we don't have many Tier 3 zombie crystals on hand.”

Seeing how Colonel Bai was still at Level 3, it was evident how precious Tier 3 zombie crystals were.

Wang Xiong came over at the right time. As he watched Lu Ming's exercise, he said, “I just made a new plan. It should be able to meet Lu Ming's daily exercise needs within an hour.”

Lu Ming, who was sweating profusely, smiled as he exercised, “That's great!”

Anyway, today was a truly perfect day for Lu Ming.

On the side, Wei Lan maintained her superpower while watching Lu Ming.

Curiosity flashed across her eyes.

Wei Lan, 21 years old, a commoner.

Her home was in the city center. When the apocalypse struck, Wei Lan was lucky enough to escape to the official shelter and received protection from the government.

Wei Lan had no complaints about her life in the shelter.

Although it was crowded there, they could not move around daily and the food was rationed, Wei Lan could overcome these minor difficulties in the apocalypse.

From the day the Awakened appeared, Wei Lan had fantasized about becoming a glorious Awakened. And within a month of the apocalypse, her wish came true.

However, life was not smooth-sailing.

After following on a few field missions, Wei Lan discovered a problem—she could not handle scenes that were too bloody and intense.

Whenever the scenes were too gruesome, Wei Lan would suffer from seizures.

So, field missions were out of the question for her, and her chances of advancing were now slim. She had to return to the shelter and do work within her capabilities.

If it were not for Lu Ming, Wei Lan's future would have been predictable—she would have lived aimlessly in the shelter until it fell to the zombies.

Fortunately, there was a god in Nanxiang, the renowned Lu Ming!

Wei Lan was genuinely grateful to Lu Ming.

Thanks to him, the status of humans and zombies had completely reversed within the safety zone. Humans were no longer afraid of zombies; they were actively clearing and hunting zombies.

As a result, Wei Lan gained more zombie crystals—enough to allow her, a seemingly insignificant Awakener, who had no combat value, to try to become a Level 2 Awakened and obtain a higher-quality superpower.

Half a month ago, Wei Lan became a Level 2 Awakened and awakened the superpower of the Weakness Curse.

Wei Lan was disappointed with her ability.

This was because the value of the Weakening Curse was very ordinary.

However, Wei Lan did not expect that the moment her superpower awakened, she would receive extraordinary treatment.

And today, Wei Lan finally understood why Professor Huo Sheng treated her so well after she awakened her superpower.

“Help Lu Ming improve his attributes, that's your mission.”

Recalling Huo Sheng's words, Wei Lan took a deep breath, her eyes becoming more determined.

Yes, this was her mission and also her worth!

To assist the Savior…

Once someone who only held others back, she now shined brightly, striving for the future of all humanity!

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Ming finished his exercise for the day.

Exhausted, Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan withdrew their superpowers and Lu Ming opened his attribute panel.

Attributes appeared before his eyes.

Name: Lu Ming

Level: Level 1

Strength: 450.8 (453-2) T-

Physique: 462.2 (464.6) f.

Agility: 445-7 (448.1) f

Free Attribute Points: 0

Superpower: Awakening in progress…

“What a pity.”

Lu Ming muttered.

He had originally thought that Wei Lan's superpower would compress his three-dimensional attributes, and after canceling his superpower at the end of the exercise, he would receive twice his daily attributes.

In the end, it did not solve this issue of the bug.

After the moment of lament, Lu Ming did not feel disappointed.

The key was not about the bug. As long as he could grow normally, Lu Ming was not dissatisfied!

Just then, Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan walked over together.

As the three of them wiped their sweat, Zhang Chengcheng asked softly, “Brother Lu, what do you want to eat for lunch?”

Lu Ming replied with a smile, “Anything is fine.”

“Sure, Brother Lu.”

Cheng Cheng obediently responded, then thought for a moment before adding, “By the way, Brother Lu, I want Lan Lan to help with the cooking, do you mind?”

Lu Ming was troubled for a moment, but looking at the exhausted Chengcheng, he nodded and said, “Sure, but the main cook will still be you.”

He had just got to know Wei Lan, so it was natural to be cautious.

Zhang Chengcheng smiled and said, “Don't worry, Brother Lu. I understand..”
