Chapter 6: Killing Wyvern
"XinXin, run!" Li Wei screamed when he saw the wyvern heading towards Li Xin.
Fortunately, he pushed Li Xin a distance away when the wyvern charged towards them.
Without hesitation, he aimed the gun at the wyvern.
He had already placed the gun in his pocket when the invasion started, but the wyvern didn't give him enough time to take it out.
During the second attack, the gun was almost in his hands, but he was still a little late when Li Xin used the fireball to stop the wyvern's attack.
"Die, bastard!" He pulled the trigger without hesitation.
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
*Ghwaaaa!*
The wyvern screamed in pain as the bullets penetrated its skin, and black blood flowed out. It stopped and defended with its wings, no longer charging towards Li Xin.
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Li Wei continued to fire bombarding the wyvern with bullets.
*Katch! Katch!*
But suddenly, the bullets ended.
"Damn, the magazine is finished," he cursed and directly opened his panel, distributing all of his 371 attribute points.
**ATTRIBUTES**:
Strength: 133 ↑100+ | Agility: 134 ↑100+
Intelligence: 137 ↑100+ | Endurance: 106 ↑71+
He did have another magazine, but he didn't see any serious injuries on the wyvern after being shot.
Another reason was his terrible aim. It was lucky that the wyvern was large enough for him to hit it without missing a single shot.
"F***k you," Li Wei cursed loudly and ran towards the wyvern with full power.
He purchased a new sword from the system shop because his previous sword had been thrown a little distance away from him.
*Ghwaaaaa*
The wyvern roared as it saw him coming and directly charged towards Li Wei in anger.
Due to the curse from the gods affecting its intelligence, it didn't think too much.
"Die!" Li Wei shouted angrily as he jumped into the air and swung his sword with full force.
He slashed directly at the wyvern, which was almost as big as a tree.
*Ghwaaa*
The wyvern roared as it saw the sword coming towards it and tried to block it with its wings.
However, the next moment, the sword sliced through its wings like butter, and the same fate followed with its body and vitals behind it.
[Ding, Congratulations for killing a Level 5 wyvern. You gained 500 XP]
"XinXin, are you alright?" Li Wei didn't care about the notification. After he landed, he ran directly towards Li Xin, taking her in his arms.
"Brother..." Li Xin muttered weakly with a pale face wanting to say something.
"Don't talk. Drink this first," Li Wei bought a mana potion from the system shop for 100 coins and placed the bottle to her lips, letting her drink.
"Umm," Li Xin felt a pleasant sensation as she drank the mana potion, and her complexion improved.
"Didn't I warn you not to use all your mana?" Li Wei scolded her, with a sigh of relief watching her face regain color.
"Brother, are you alright?" Li Xin asked, ignoring his scolding.
"I'm fine, just a few scratches. See?" Li Wei showed his minor injuries that had already healed significantly due to his increased attributes.
"My mana is still recovering, or I would have healed everything," Li Xin replied, looking worried.
"Don't worry about me. Just don't use any skills now. Do you know how scared I was seeing you like this?" Li Wei ruffled her head, his heart almost stopping when he saw the wyvern heading towards her.
"Um, I was worried too, you know," Li Xin replied with a pout.
When she saw the wyvern attacking him, she felt despair and almost cried.
Seeing she was worried, Li Wei decided not to ask more, or she might really cry.
"How do you feel now? Can you still fight? If not, don't worry about anything. I'll help you level up later," Li Wei expressed with concern.
"I'm all right, just a little headache, and nothing else. What about you, brother? Why don't you heal yourself?" Li Xin inquired after recovering a little thanks to the mana potions.
But before Li Wei could reply, a voice came from behind him.
"Did you kill the wyvern?" asked a woman in a military uniform who arrived with a group of fully armed soldiers.
"Huh, I did. Any problem?" Li Wei replied with an irritated tone.
They had just escaped a life-threatening situation, and someone asking questions about it made him feel very irritated, especially since the wyvern headed towards Li Xin.
"No, actually we were ordered to take care of higher-level monsters, and this one escaped here. That's why we came to take it down. But when we saw the corpse, we wanted to confirm it, and nothing else. I really appreciate you for killing this wyvern for us," said the military woman.
"You both seem to be in a weak state. I think you should follow us, and we'll keep you safe until you've fully recovered." she added.
"No need. We're fine, and I don't think even level 5 monsters will come here after seeing the corpse of the wyvern," Li Wei replied, pointing at the wyvern's corpse.
When it came it also scared the monster away from nearby area.
"Oh, okay then. Take care. We'll take our leave. Let's go, squad," the military woman said, noticing Li Wei's unwillingness.
She felt a little disappointed but left with her group.
"It would've been troublesome if they kept inviting us," Li Wei sighed with a relief.
He knew they invited him because they saw the wyvern's corpse cut in two. Otherwise, they wouldn't even bother to ask.
"Yes, they would definitely ask us to fight later," Li Xin agreed.
She, too, was aware of their intentions. In this world, people would use you until you were useful and then cast you aside, even the military was no exception.
"Of course, I'm not an idiot. With the monster invasion, the power grid had already stopped, and a lot of communication tools become useless. Even the military will lose its connection to its headquarters someday. And with no one to control them..." Li Wei didn't continue any further.
Until he is sure, he will never accept someone's kindness, even if they have no ill intentions.
"Okay, let's recover here. I will take care of any monsters that will come," Li Wei suggested as he found a place under the roof for her.
He also sat beside Li Xin, holding her hands to soothe her.
Li Xin also held his hands tightly, leaning on him with a relieved expression.
Li Wei smiled gently at her and pondered, gazing at the corpse of the wyvern.
"I should buy some skills first. Who knows if another level 5 monster will show up," he murmured to himself, while observing his health points.
Health Points (HP): 315/400
"So I really took the damage, anyway let's see the skills," With a thought, he opened the system shop skills panel.
"Heal, Cure Poison, Slash, Guard, Fireball, Frost Nova, and Arcane Shield. This seems like the best option for me right now, especially for fighting monsters. Each costs 99 coins, which means 693 coins, and I have 3071 coins. Let's buy them," he decided, and without hesitation, he bought them from the system shop.
[Ding, Congratulations on learning the following skills - Heal, Cure Poison, Slash, Guard, Fireball, Frost Nova, and Arcane Shield.]

'I should also upgrade them to level 5 as I have a lot of skill points. Even though I need 10× SP for the Goddess edition, for other basic skills, it's normal.' He proceeded to raise his skill levels.

**Note - because you are a Jack-of-all-Trades, you have to complete the class quest to unlock the level cap of all skills except Goddess of Death Edition.
'Damn, it took 255 skill points. It's so expensive to upgrade, and the class quest, I saw that coming long ago,' Li Wei cursed at the price of leveling up.
It took 150 SP for the Goddess Edition and 105 for other skills.
'But now I don't have to worry too much. I can now cast Arcane Shield on XinXin if there's a need to,' Li Wei thought as he looked at Li Xin with a smile.
He then examined his minor injuries and chanted, channeling mana throughout his body.
"Heal," A holy light emerged from him, healing all his injuries within a few seconds.
Health Points (HP): 400/400
Mana Points (MP): 600/685
"That's better. XinXin, why are you looking at me like that?" Li Wei asked when he felt her gaze.
"Nothing," Li Xin shook her head, "When the wyvern attacked you, I thought I'd never see you again," she replied with wet eyes.
"Don't worry about me. I am much stronger now, and we should raise your level so you can get stronger too," Li Wei reassured her with a smile.
"How are you feeling now?" he asked, looking at her face that regained its original color.
"I'm feeling better. My MP has recovered a lot, and I can fight again," Li Xin replied, looking at her mana points.
Mana Points (MP): 50/140
She felt better because of the Mana Potion; otherwise, it would have taken much longer to recover.
"Okay, then let's go. I'll help you level up," Li Wei nodded.
he wanted her to have power to protect herself more so raising her level was important as it will increase her strength.
"Yes, brother," Li Xin replied with resolution.
She wanted to become strong so they could fight together.
