Lord Of Ashes

"The attribute value of an ordinary adult is only five points? Then, is my strength twice that of an ordinary adult? Am I so strong?"

John Young knew his physical capabilities well. Although he had the confidence to take on two adults in a fight, he doubted whether his physical fitness could truly be considered double that of an average adult.

"After all, physical fitness isn't as simple as arithmetic. One plus one isn't always two; it's at least three or more," John mused, considering the complexities of human abilities.

John was least confident in his agility. Currently, he could run nearly ten meters per second, which meant it took him ten seconds to cover a hundred meters. This speed barely matched that of an Olympic champion before the aura rejuvenation.

Therefore, John felt this attribute value should not be so simple to calculate.

After reading about the most conspicuous attribute values, John took another look at his health and energy values.

These two things were still well understood. It was nothing more than digitizing his life force and the possible stamina in his body.

"Recover two points of health per hour. At one hundred and fifty points, it only takes 75 hours to recover full health."

That is to say, even if I am seriously injured or enter a near-death state, I only need to rest. Will I be able to recover in two or three days? Isn't this a bit too fast?"

At first, John even felt that it was a bit slow to recover only two health points in an hour, but he quickly realized how outrageous this recovery speed was.

After all, it takes several months to recover from simple fractures, let alone other injuries.

But now, even if John were near death, he could heal in only three days.

He had to admit that this digitization state was really powerful.

After reading the upper portion of the data list, John redirected his attention to the lower part, but the lower part obviously had nothing particularly interesting. The so-called talent was John's awakening ability. As for the 'Universal Promise,' it was simply the cultivation method John was currently practicing.

"Then the question is, what should I do now?"

Just as John was pondering, he suddenly heard a weird roar from the next room.

The sound clearly didn't come from a human.

"According to the display panel, since I now have these levels, combined with the roar of what seems to be a monster next door, should I go fight the monsters to level up?"

John felt there shouldn't be any major flaws in his logic, but whether to kill monsters for upgrades or run away depended on how strong the monster next door was.

Therefore, John felt that he might need to use some special methods to learn a little bit about the monster next door and determine if he could kill it.

After all, although his body had been digitized, he still only had one life, and this wasn't a game where he could be resurrected indefinitely. He needed to be cautious.

Just as John was thinking this through, time paused again, and at the same time, a new text option box appeared in front of him.

[Do you want to go out to hunt monsters?]

[Option 1: Yes (immediately go out and start hunting monsters in the Ash World. In Room 302 next to you, you can find a Level one police zombie. After killing it, you will find a Beretta 92F pistol and two spare magazines containing 15 rounds each.)]

[Option 2: No (Because you were afraid that you would not be able to defeat the monsters in the Ash World, you remained entangled with indecision on whether to go out and hunt the monsters. After more than an hour of indecision, you gradually became sleepy and fell asleep on the old wooden bed in the room. And then you leave the ashes world in your sleep and return to the real world.)]

[Option 3: Wait a while (You want to explore the room you are currently in, find some items that can be used as weapons, and then go out to hunt the monsters in the Ash World. You will encounter a wandering goblin merchant three minutes later on the left-hand staircase. Although it is a Level one three-star elite monster, its combat power is extremely low, and you easily kill it. You then find some interesting trinkets on it.)]

"Zombie? Goblin? That's it? I thought I would encounter something alien or ungodly."

When he saw the information given by the multiple choices, John felt relieved. After all, with his strength, it was still very easy to beat mere zombies and goblins.

"The question is, should I kill the zombies first or the goblins first? The goblin will arrive in three minutes. If I kill the zombie first, I might miss the goblin. Although I don't know what that interesting trinket is, it's probably a useful item."

After thinking a bit, John decided to kill the goblin first because he wanted to know what the interesting things were.

However, although the answer was already available, John was not ready to make a choice immediately.

He was ready to take advantage of the time pause to explore the room more thoroughly, looking for items that could be used as weapons and other useful things.

Find their location, then after the time pause ends, he could go directly to retrieve them.

The room John was in was a one-bedroom unit, with a small area of only 30 to 40 square meters.

It was the type where most of the area could be seen at a glance.

There were only a few places to hide weapons: under the bed, the bedside table, the wardrobe, and the kitchen.

However, John had already checked the wardrobe earlier and found only a few old clothes.

So, John only needed to search under the bed, the bedside table, and the kitchen.

John quickly checked under the bed and the bedside table but found nothing that could be used as a weapon. He did, however, find a broken old English newspaper that could be considered barely useful.

Of course, it wasn't the old newspaper itself that was useful. In fact, given its old and tattered condition, no one would even use it to wipe their rear.

After all, there might be a risk of infection.
