The System is Four Years Ahead of Schedule, But Weird is Still a Cub

Chapter 5 A little bit smart, but not much

 Affected by the "Newcomer Baby Protection Function", Shen Ge cannot enter Tom's Mall, but this is not a big problem, just change to a smaller supermarket.

 But the key point is that "level 7 weirdness", "strange territory", and "special pollution area" are words that should be classified as science fiction and supernatural at first glance, which makes Shen Ge very concerned.

“So...the level 7 weirdness that has put the entire Dongcheng District in danger and turned it into **** is in Tom’s Supermarket right now?”

“If you can grow to level 7 weirdness in four years, wouldn’t it mean that you have at least a few levels now?” As soon as this idea appeared, Shen Ge was immediately shocked.

But then he thought about it. According to the information currently disclosed by the system, weirdness feeds on "living bodies". If there is really weirdness in this place, even if it is only the first and second levels, there should be a "murder" happening. And once a "murder case" occurs, there is no way this mall will still be the most visited shopping mall in Dongcheng District!

“System, at what level can we increase our strength to enter this area?” Shen Ge asked in his mind.

  【Rate the current status of the host—】

 【The rating result is: Level 0】

　　【Please host cherish life, do not seek death, stay away from level 4 and above weirdness, avoid level 3 weirdness, try not to provoke level 2 weirdness, work hard to grow, and defeat level 1 weirdness as soon as possible. 】

Although the system "answers some questions", aside from the system's mental attacks, Shen Ge probably guessed the level of the "Newcomer Baby Warning".

He probably won’t be able to enter a place that is haunted by strange things at level 4. At level 3, he will be reminded a few more times. At level 1 and level 2, it will be like the previous wild cats and wild dogs, with one reminder and it will be over.

As for why he was able to enter the villa where Wildcat "Silent" was, that was the area he entered before activating the system, so he didn't get any prompts.

 “How to quickly improve your strength?” Shen Ge asked again.

  【Start testing the host’s current physical fitness—】

　　【Before the attribute values ​​reach normal values, the host can exercise to improve the basic attribute values. 】

　　【Complete daily tasks and you will get 1% free points for distribution at 0:00 the next day. 】

　　【Earn system points for lottery. Every 100 system points can be drawn once. Rewards include various materials, free attribute points, equipment props, etc. 】

　　【Kill the weird ones and sell the weird corpses to get a lot of system points. 】

  【Swallow high-level weirdness with characteristics and acquire characteristics. 】

The system lists all the ways that Shen Ge can currently use to "become stronger", but this feels like asking questions to the AI.

 It can only be said that the system has some intelligence, but not much.

 “System, are you conscious?”

There is no response from the system this time.

 “System, sing a song by Jaylen.”

 Still no response.

 “System, what is weird?”

Um?

No response?

 Are these questions unanswerable and beyond the system’s understanding, or did the two random questions just mess up the system?

 “System, how to improve strength?”

  【Start testing the host’s current physical fitness—】

　　【Before the attribute values ​​reach normal values, the host can exercise to improve the basic attribute values. 】

 …

The system directly repeated the previous answer.

 As I said before, I have some intelligence, but not much.

“Wait a minute, since acquiring characteristics can improve your rating, don’t I have the level 4 characteristic ‘silent’?” Shen Ge asked doubtfully.    【Rate the current status of the host—】

 【The rating result is: Level 0】

“The level 4 characteristic ‘silence’ does not count as combat power?”

  【The rating result is correct. 】

 “You yourself said that the absorption properties can be enhanced!”

  【The rating result is correct. 】

 “System, sing a song by Jaylen.”

　　【…】

 Shen Ge tried to ask the system a few questions related to the weirdness, but received very few replies. Even the system didn’t know where the weirdness came from.

However, after the system prompts Shen Ge to improve his rating, more functions of the system will be released, and the "answer" may be found from it.

After Shen Ge left Tom's Mall, he walked along the street for a while and noticed a Hongqi supermarket in front of him, so he walked straight in.

"welcome."

Shen Ge walked to the door. When the automatic glass door opened, the voice announcer placed at the door automatically sounded "hello".

"Seven days' supplies..." Shen Ge glanced at the products displayed on the supermarket shelves and didn't know what to buy for a while.

After thinking for a while, I happened to be running out of rice at home, so I picked up a five-kilogram bag of rice, and then bought a box of instant noodles, some chocolate, and a 10-liter bottle of mineral water.

"Is this enough for seven days?" After Shen Ge paid the money and came out of the supermarket with large and small bags of things, the system prompts sounded in his mind -

　　【You are very lucky to find a supermarket that has not been visited yet. In a period when food is scarce, you can find so many supplies that have not expired. You are indeed the chosen one! 】

　　　…”

 For a moment, Shen Ge didn't know what words to use to describe his delicate mood at this time. After all, the system was activated four years in advance, and the system judgment cannot be viewed with normal thinking...

 Four years from now, the supermarket will probably be occupied by strange things, and it should have been looted long ago, with no supplies left. It makes sense for the system to forcefully explain it like this.

Shen Ge walked to the roadside carrying large and small bags, preparing to take a taxi home and leave Dongcheng District to complete today's daily tasks.

But he usually buys things either from JD.com or Pupu Meituan. He rarely carries so many things. Walking from the supermarket to the roadside with more than 20 kilograms of things, his hands are actually a little sore.

　　【In Dongcheng District, where weird things are rampant and dangers abound, the host does not forget to exercise while searching for resources. It is commendable for his courage! Strength +1%, Constitution +1%. 】

"this…"

Shen Ge was surprised, and without hesitation he carried two large bags of things and walked back and forth on the street for several times. He didn't stop until his hands were so sore that he couldn't lift them up.

　　【In Dongcheng District, where weird things are rampant and dangers abound, the host actually doesn't forget to seize every minute to exercise. His courage is astonishing! Strength +6%, agility +3%, constitution 6%. 】

The same effect as a normal event, Shen Ge can obtain the reward three times by repeating it, but starting from the third time, the acquisition speed is obviously much slower.

For example, for the first time, I just carried more than 20 kilograms of stuff from the supermarket through the green belt to the roadside, which was only a total distance of two to three hundred meters.

The second time I walked back and forth twice, and the third time it tripled!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

Shen Ge put the things at his feet and took a few breaths. Sure enough, he sat too much in the office and just lay down when he got home. He lacked exercise.

However, if it were not for lack of exercise, his basic attributes would not even reach the "standard level" of a normal adult male.

Shen Ge already had a preliminary plan in mind. Starting from tomorrow morning, he planned to get up two hours early and run from Shizhong District to the company in Dongcheng District to work. He would at least bring his basic attributes to the average value first, and then pass other tests. The method keeps getting stronger!
