"Well! This one can't distinguish between friend and foe, I have no way to control it, not even the range. It's centered on me, with a ten-meter radius!"

Duan Lei nodded.

"If that's the case, you absolutely cannot use this talent without my orders, otherwise..."

Li Chenzhou turned to look at Duan Xue. Although he didn't yet know the power of Shattered Soul, Li Chenzhou could at least confirm that Duan Lei's mental strength had definitely reached forty, twice as high as his own.

If he really activated Shattered Soul, Li Chenzhou wouldn't be able to withstand it. Even if he didn't die, he would definitely be seriously injured. As for Duan Xue, her soul would probably be shattered instantly, and she would die a tragic death.

The difference between Strengtheners, Evolvers, and Awakeners is actually very simple: it's skills and talents. Strengtheners have neither skills nor talents, Evolvers have skills, and Awakeners have both skills and talents. As for the upper limit of physical attributes, there is no difference between the three.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou guessed that Duan Lei's talent, like his own Fog of War, also had a passive effect that increased his mental attributes to the upper limit and doubled them, which is why it could reach the value of 40.

Because the attribute limit doubles every time an Evolver levels up, 40 is actually the attribute limit for a Level 2 Evolver. Without other bonuses, Duan Lei's mental strength must also be twenty.

"Okay! I understand!"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Duan Lei immediately nodded. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he spoke again:

"Also... Boss, I don't know if it's my skill or talent, but I can feel that, apart from mental attributes, my other attributes, that is, strength, agility, and endurance, have already reached their peak and can never be improved again!"

"Never?"

When Duan Lei said that, Li Chenzhou thought that his other attributes had also been raised to the limit, but he realized something was wrong when he heard the rest.

"Hit this table with all your strength!"

Li Chenzhou pointed to the hotel table. Anyway, it was the end of the world, and they didn't have to pay for the room, let alone the table.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

Without saying a word, Duan Lei raised his fist and smashed it down on the table with all his strength, then immediately let out a scream.

Li Chenzhou ignored him and looked at the table.

Based on the extent of the damage to the table and the sound it made, Li Chenzhou could basically confirm that Duan Lei's strength had not reached the upper limit of a Level 1 Evolver. At most, it was ten points of strength, which was the upper limit for ordinary people.

If calculated this way, then Duan Lei's endurance and agility should also be ten points.

After confirming this, Li Chenzhou looked at Duan Lei, who was holding his hand and staring at him with a resentful expression, and nodded secretly in his heart. This was right.

He had previously felt that Duan Lei was a bit of a pervert, having obtained two skills and a talent just by absorbing a Level 1 mutant crystal, and both the skills and the talent were quite powerful.

Now, thinking about it carefully, the two skills should actually be one, but with two ways to use it. The talent was indeed perverted, not only having the same passive effect as his own Fog of War, but its effect was definitely no worse than his own Fog of War.

However, the biggest flaw of this talent was that Duan Lei's other three major attributes would never be able to break through the limits of ordinary people, that is, they would remain at this value of ten and could not grow anymore.

In this way, Duan Lei's ability was greatly restricted. He was like a squishy mage in a game, with fierce attacks and control, but also weak himself.

Even if he reached Level 10 in the future, his physical fitness would still be that of an ordinary person. Just a few Level 1 strengthened zombies would probably be able to easily kill him—although Shattered Soul was a group attack, its range was only ten meters, and his mental strength could not support him to release this talent indefinitely.

"You! It's like two extremes. The higher your level, the stronger your attack and control, but the weaker you become. Once someone discovers your weakness and targets you, it'll be troublesome!"

Li Chenzhou looked at Duan Lei and said:

"Your physical fitness is equivalent to the strongest of ordinary people, and it will always remain in this state and cannot be improved. In the early stages, the gap won't be so obvious, but the further you go, the bigger the gap will become, and your weaknesses will become more and more obvious."

"How big will the gap be?"

Duan Lei quickly understood Li Chenzhou's meaning, and his face became serious.

"Very big!"

Li Chenzhou said:

"Let's put it this way. If we use numerical values to calculate physical attributes, then the highest physical attribute of an ordinary person is ten. The numerical values of your strength, endurance, and other attributes are currently this number!

After becoming an Evolver, the upper limit of this attribute will double, which is twenty. After that, every time you increase a level, the attribute value limit will double again! Level 3 is forty, Level 4 is eighty..."

Hearing this, Duan Lei took a deep breath. With his mind, he naturally understood what this meant. If he reached Level 4, then compared to people of the same level, his physical fitness would only be equivalent to one-eighth of theirs.

Although his mental attack was strong, what if the other party was ambushing him? With that kind of speed, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to react before being killed.

"However, you don't need to worry!"

Seeing Duan Lei's expression, Li Chenzhou suddenly smiled and said:

"First of all, your mental attribute is doubled and automatically raised to the limit. That is to say, compared to people of the same level, your other attributes are certainly much worse, but your mental attribute will be twice as high as theirs. No one can block your skills and talents at all.

In addition, you don't need to worry too much about being ambushed or anything. If your physical fitness is poor, we can make up for it in other areas, right? You probably don't know how to drive yet, do you? Find some time to learn!"

"Driving?"

Duan Lei was stunned, but then, his eyes suddenly lit up. Li Chenzhou had sent him the information about a vehicle through the follower panel:

Space War Chariot: A space-attribute vehicle with an initial living space of one hundred square meters and a storage space of one hundred cubic meters. Can be expanded using slaughter points.

Speed: High

Defense: Extremely High

Attack: Low (Weapons can be purchased and installed to increase attack power.)

Price: 50,000 slaughter points

Looking at this angular, metallic, heavy-looking, and extremely mighty armored chariot, Duan Lei's eyes widened instantly, and he was filled with excitement.

This car was simply tailor-made for him. As long as he had it, sitting in the car, who could easily ambush him?

"Boss, how do we get these slaughter points?"

Looking at the price of 50,000 slaughter points below, Duan Lei quickly asked.

"It's very simple. We can get one slaughter point for every zombie we kill!"

Li Chenzhou replied calmly.

"..."

Hearing this, Duan Lei's body suddenly stiffened, and the color instantly drained from his face, turning him into a pale-faced pretty boy...
