Bugged From the Start: I Spawned as a Parasite

Chapter 8 – Attribute explosion

Chen Yuan was surprised to see that it was a choice of evolution paths, and one of the options was actually a dragon?

A dragon, the supreme beast, of course, it's awesome!

But this game is too ridiculous, such an ugly bug can actually evolve into a dragon.

What a disgrace to dragons!

Swaying left and right, Chen Yuan was finally sent to a place slightly away from the crowd.

Taking advantage of the stable view, Chen Yuan looked at the option box.

Only by looking closely did he notice that there were annotations under each option.

For example, under Dragon Evolution, there was a 10x Experience Blessing! This left Chen Yuan dumbfounded.

10x experience, doesn't that mean leveling up ten times faster than other players? That's awesome!!

Looking at Insect Evolution, it was described as Violent Reproduction, swarming enemies with bugs.

"Who wants violent reproduction? Dragons are so cool, of course, I'll choose the dragon!"

[Ding] "System: Dragon Evolution Stage One activated, please level up to 20 to unlock Stage Two."

[Ding] "System: Level reset complete."

"Level reset? Does that mean the level 5 I just reached was for nothing?"

Chen Yuan opened his attributes and, sure enough, he was back to level 1.

[Level]: Level 1

[Race]: Pseudo-Dragon

[Feature]: Each level up grants an additional 200% attributes.

[Skill One] "Parasitism Level 1 (0/10): You think you're a dragon? Get real, you're still a bug! Burrow into a monster's brain and control it! The monster cannot exceed your level by more than 5, control duration 10 minutes, cooldown 1 hour."

[Evolution Points]: 10/10

[Talent Points]: 10

[Equipment]: Hand of Faith (Bound)

Seeing the attributes, Chen Yuan's dissatisfaction with being reset to level 1 vanished completely, as these attributes were simply too incredible.

Finally, no longer called a parasite!

Parasitic Dragon, what a nice name! Ugh.

S-grade aptitude, an additional 100% attributes, plus the feature's 200%, now each level up grants an additional 3x attributes, it's just too satisfying.

And the base attribute values, at level 1 all four stats are 10, which is something players at level 7 or 8 would have.

Moreover, now he finally has his own attack skills, one area attack skill, one single-target skill, and most importantly, the parasitism skill, from now on the days of biting the dust are over, becoming a thing of the past.

The happy days have finally begun!

Wait a minute.

"Why does something feel off?"

Chen Yuan's gaze fixed on the experience points.

1000 experience points to level up? Looking at the level again, yes, it's level 1!

"Motherfucker, it takes 1000 experience points to go from level 1 to level 2!!"

Others only need 10 experience points to go from level 1 to level 2, but he needs 1000, a 100-fold difference.

10x Experience Blessing, leveling up is 10 times the normal player's speed!

10x is right, but it's actually 10 times slower than normal players.

"Quick, there's a little wild rabbit here."

Chen Yuan hadn't been quiet for two seconds before other players arrived.

Chen Yuan was furious.

"Damn it, trying to mess with my host again."

Time to test out the new skill.

A faint dragon call sounded, and a ripple spread out from the little wild rabbit, covering a five-meter radius.

-32

-35

-38

-40

Unsurprisingly, all players within the range were wiped out, disappearing in three flashes of white light.

Besides the players disappearing, something else disappeared too.

[Ding] "System: You killed the wild monster Little Wild Rabbit, gained 10 experience points."

[Ding] "System: You killed player 'Fang the Appearance', gained 10 experience points."

[Ding] "System: You killed player 'Scenic Watcher', gained 10 experience points, 1 talent point."

[Ding] "System: You killed player 'Onlooker', gained 10 experience points, 1 evolution point."

[Ding] "System: Your host has died, now randomly searching for your next host."

Chen Yuan was so angry he could spit blood. This skill not only dealt with the players but also ended his host, leaving him with nowhere to complain!

"Huh, how did those three people just die?"

"You must be mistaken? The monsters here don't attack at all, and you can't kill players in the Novice Village, how could anyone die?"

"Uh, maybe I was mistaken, they probably logged off. Quick, another little wild rabbit has spawned here."

Saying this, they ran towards Chen Yuan's new host.

Chen Yuan was exasperated, who did I provoke, can't I have a moment of peace?

Chen Yuan quickly parasitized the little wild rabbit and took off running.

Find the original at "pawread.com".

"Quick, don't let that little wild rabbit get away, it took an hour to kill 3 little wild rabbits, it's infuriating."

"Huh, why can this little wild rabbit dodge? Oh my god, is this a BOSS?"

"Can't be a BOSS, right? The attributes are a bit strange!"

Hearing the players' shouts, Chen Yuan realized.

"Right, I'm stupid, why am I running? I have attributes now."

Looking at the little white rabbit's attributes, Chen Yuan turned around and clawed at a player.

-5

"This damn rabbit's attack is quite high." The player swung a novice wooden sword at the little wild rabbit controlled by Chen Yuan.

-1

Seeing this damage, Chen Yuan was relieved, just enough to break through the defense, time to take you down.

But then several players gathered around.

-1

-1

-1

Numbers kept floating above the little wild rabbit's head.

"Ow, this damn rabbit is only biting me, I'm almost out of health." The player said and turned to run.

A couple more hits, and he'd be done for here.
