[Retrying to progress into the Second Phase of Evolution]
[Failed...]
[Ding, The Earth still hasn\'t met the conditions for progressing into the second phase.]
[Ding, The Earth still doesn\'t have enough magical power and land to progress further.]
[Ding, The Earth will progress into the Second Phase forcefully]
[Ding, The nearby worlds Celestria, Sorathia, Elmoral, and Starfrost will merge with Earth to meet the requirements]
[Ding, The merging has begun and it will complete with the Second Phase]
[Ding, Congratulations for the Earth entering the second phase \'World Rebuilding\'. In this phase, the Earth will undergo a terrain change, increasing its land mass and magical powers. The Monsters up to rank A and Dungeons will spawn once certain conditions are met. This process will last for 12 hours] ×3

"No way, are you saying it\'s still going to continue?"
"Damn, do we have to live like this?"
"No way, are we going to die, right?"
"What the heck, Earth Evolution? It\'s clearly the Earth\'s destruction."
After the first phase ended, people saw the monsters retreating and became happy, only to hear this global Announcement.
"XinXin, let\'s go home," Li Wei said with relief when he saw the monsters retreating. As for the world notification he didn\'t care.
"Unn, Okay brother," Li Xin nodded following him to their only home. She too not caring about the start of second phase.
As they made their way home, they failed to notice the lurking eyes of others on them.
A man looked at their backs fading with cold eyes. "Keep an eye on them and kidnap the girl with him. He must have some secrets so he can defeat 5-level monsters alone; we must get it," he commanded coldly.
"Yes, but what if he doesn\'t listen even after we kidnap her?" someone behind him said.
"So what, threaten him with the girl\'s life. I don\'t think he will be able to watch her die. Just do it silently without alerting the military," the man commanded again his eyes flashing coldly.

Li Wei and Li Xin soon arrived at their apartment.
"Brother, our home is all right," Li Xin exclaimed with emotion when she saw their home was mostly undamaged.
"Let\'s go in," Li Wei said, patting her head but didn\'t say much, knowing it might be the last time they will come here.
"Unn," Li Xin nodded, silently following him inside their home.
They turned on the backup light and washed themselves changing their dirty clothes.
After getting refreshed, they both sat on the sofa close to each other.
"Brother, what should we do now? The second phase has already started," Li Xin inquired.
"Hmm, first, check the rewards, and we will decide later," Li Wei replied as he looked at his system panel.
[Ding, Congratulations on becoming the Official Player. You have unlocked the spirit attribute, you can receive Titles, you can recover Mana Points and Health Points automatically, and you can now use equipment.]
[Ding, Congratulations on getting the World Map Function, City Function, and Side Class Function.]
**Note:
- You can now receive Titles.
- You will recover your MP and HP depending on the spirit attribute. (Example: Spirit: 10 = 100 HP and MP/minute)
- The spirit attribute will increase by 5 every level.
- The world map function will allow you to see the map of the world that you have visited or unlocked.
- City Function will let you build your own city.
- With Side Class Function, now you can choose 5 side classes. If you are a special Jack-of-all-Trades class, you can only buy skills and cannot choose the side class.
- You are now able to equip weapons, armours, accessories, etc., and gain bonus attribute effects.
"We got a new attribute," Li Wei murmured and continued looking.
[Ding, Congratulations on Killing the following monsters.
Level 1 - Goblin ×4 (400 coins),
Level 2 - Goblin ×2 Slime ×1 (600 coins),
Level 3 - Kobolds ×2 (600 coins),
Level 5 - Wyvern ×1, Black Armored Knight ×1 (2,000 coins)]
[Ding, Congratulations on getting 36,000 coins as rewards.]
"I got 10,000 coins extra for killing the abyssal monster, and my rewards increased 10 times. It means I got 3,600 coins," Li Wei pondered out loud.
"XinXin, how many coins did you get?" he asked.
"Huh, me? I got 24,000 coins," Li Xin replied, tilting her head.
"What?" Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, but he finally figured out it was because she killed 100 monsters. It was no wonder.
"And I also got a title \'Monster Killer.\' It increases my attack by 10% when it\'s the same level as me. But what should I do with these coins?" Li Xin asked for his advice.
"Well, the system shop only sells basic low-level tools, potions, and a few things related to it. But we can exchange these coins into AP for 1,000 coins and SP for 10,000 coins. But save these coins for advanced skills that will unlock when you complete the class quest," Li Wei suggested.
The system skills shop only provided low-level skills, which they could buy, but they might become useless later.
"Ding" A sudden chat notification sounded attracting his attention.
Goddess of Death: Be careful; some humans are targeting you after seeing your powers.
Li Wei looked at the sudden message and directly bought the Class reset card for 1,000 coins.
"XinXin, here, take this, reset your healer class and change it to rogue class," he urged in a hurry.
"Umm, okay," Li Xin agreed, not asking anything after seeing his hurried face, and directly chose the rogue class.
[Ding, Congratulations on gaining Evasion and Stealth skill]
"I did it, brother," Li Xin replied after choosing the class.
"Okay, then upgrade all your skills to level 5," Li Wei instructed her as he bought the Stealth skill upgraded it to level 5.
He then upgraded his Shadow Step skill to level 6.
"How is it? Did you do it?" he asked after he was done with his skill upgrades.
Li Xin nodded at him and inquired, "Yes, I am done. But what happened, brother?"
"Well, some people might be targeting us. Anyway, buy the item box skill and upgrade it to level 5, and pack the important things in it; be fast, okay," Li Wei advised as he also did the same and started filling the item box.
The item box at level 1 provided with 1 cubic meter of space, and at level 5, it provided with 5 cubic meters of space to store things.
"XinXin, directly buy the Mana potion and health potion from the system shop. There is a limit of 10, so I won\'t be able to buy much," Li Wei instructed again, looking at the system shop to see if there were any useful things.
"Okay, brother," Li Xin nodded as she packed the important things into the item box.
After doing this She looked at him who was also done packing. "Are we going to escape?" she asked.
"We will escape from here and head towards the nearby city," Li Wei nodded confirming her guess; this was the only plan he could come up with.
Suddenly, Li Xin came close and directly hugged him.
"Brother, I feel scared," she uttered.
"You?" Li Wei looked at Li Xin in his arms. Her face was a little pale, and she also looked weak.
"Damn, the effect is disappearing," he cursed in his mind.
The Gods affected everyone\'s mindset so it would be easier to survive, but now the effect was disappearing; he never thought it would happen at this time.
A thick iron-blood stench entered his nose as he listened to the wailing and crying sounds of people that reached their apartment. It was no wonder that she looked like this.
Li Wei hugged her gently. "Don\'t worry, I am here," he assured her, as he bought the Calm Emotions skill of the bard class and directly upgraded it to level 5.
Without hesitation, he used the skill on her.
"Did you calm down?" Li Wei asked, looking at Li Xin in his arms, her face regaining color.
"Um, I am calm, but I still feel a little scared," Li Xin replied, looking better than before.
However the crying screams outside still made her hair stand.
"It\'s okay; just ignore it. Let\'s wait for those bastards to come; how dare they decide to target us," he said with a killing intent.
A military man looked at the apartment of Li Wei with binoculars.
"Sir Zhao, what should we do? Those gangsters are definitely after his secrets," he reported.
"Wait until he is in danger or desperate; we will help him if he can tell us his secrets," Sir Zhao replied.
"But what if he doesn\'t accept our help?" the military man raised the question again.
"We are here to protect people, and he should tell us. If he still refuses to do it, then he is a traitor to humans," Sir Zhao declared with a cold expression.
