027. Tendon Splitting and Bone Breaking (Part 3)

【You killed Lv15 White Fang bandits *7—Overall damage contribution exceeds 60%, overlevel kill, team reward, additional reward, calculating...】

【You accumulated 17427 experience points】

While Nomi was killing wantonly on the side, Li Aozi didn't bother to intervene. He didn't have the ability to finish off the enemies quickly and didn't see the need to snatch kills for experience points.

Moreover, Nomi's damage output was limited. After casually slaughtering a few bandits, she still let some escape—this was exactly what Li Aozi wanted.

If they seriously injured the White Fang bandits, the bandits would realize the shelter was too tough to attack again, and Li Aozi wouldn't be able to continue harvesting experience.

On the contrary, if these desperados weren't completely wiped out, given the harsh environment of the outside world, no one would choose not to stay in a safe, warm shelter. If they stayed there, they would inevitably come back to attack the shelter again.

In fact, next time they would likely gather even more people.

So not only did Li Aozi not kill them all, but he also deliberately gave them time to plunder. Bandits who got a taste of success were unlikely to resist the temptation of the shelter.

Robbery is like a gacha pull; there's no such thing as just one time—you always have that "what if I hit the jackpot?" mentality. So Li Aozi wasn't worried at all that the White Fang bandits would give up. In the outside world, just a bit of incentive would make them jump into the fire pit, even knowing the danger.

"This is scientific pig farming."

After leveling up, the team penalty from being with the 17th-level Nomi had significantly decreased, making the experience gain more noticeable.

However, the problem with gravitational psychic power also emerged—this indirect damage-dealing ability meant that the system panel couldn't display damage info, so it had to be observed visually and by feel.

Fortunately, in the early stages, as long as they weren't extraordinary beings, no one could withstand the effects of gravitational deflection and smashing.

Li Aozi wasn't particularly excited. Having Omega-level psychic power as a Starfall Master, overlevel kills were expected. It was like giving a handgun to Simple; he could still 1v5 in a low-rank match.

"I need to quickly acquire professional knowledge and enhance my expertise. Otherwise, with my low stats, I'll still end up in jail."

Li Aozi put all his experience into Mutant, leveling it up to 10.

【Main profession [Mutant] has leveled up to Lv.7】

【Based on your expertise, you gain the following benefits: Charisma +3.】

Before Li Aozi could react, the system panel suddenly turned red and black, covered with double-helix cracks.

"Ugh—why is it happening now?!"

A piercing, bone-scraping pain shot through him. Li Aozi knelt on one knee as an electric-like numbness spread from his skin to his bones.

Dripping with cold sweat, Li Aozi was instantly overwhelmed by the pain, barely holding on as he watched the system prompts flash before him:
