章節 37: ch37- Power Surge
The group divided the 13 gems and over 40 purple scythe weapons among themselves. Tim and the others, excited about their new treasures, headed off to Quinn to upgrade their gear. However, reality once again proved harsh. Even using R-level gems, the highest upgrade they achieved was N+4, still far from reaching R-level quality.
With longing glances directed at Alex, Tim and Charlie could only sigh in frustration, as Alex quietly smiled, growing accustomed to their jealous stares. The R-level awakening stones, each worth 200,000 points, were too expensive for anyone else to afford, so Alex simply sold his 12 stones to Quinn. The guide was visibly shocked once more, but Alex walked away with a hefty 2.4 million points. After selling off other materials, his total balance had reached a staggering 4.6 million points.
Looking at the massive number of points, Alex was a little dumbfounded. He had no idea how to spend so much. When he asked Quinn for advice, the guide gave a cryptic answer: "Hold on to those points. There will be future events where having more points will make a big difference."
Remembering the sometimes frustrating awakening system, Alex couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Am I destined to be the game's ultimate pay-to-win champion?"
With such a fortune, his mood was lifted. After drinking an E-level energy potion, Alex's stats changed once more—his strength, which had been stuck at F+, was now elevated to E-level.

Compared to yesterday, Alex's damage output had become even more terrifying. Eagerly waiting for 8 PM, he entered the arena once more. This time, his opponent was a young man with long bangs, a drastic contrast to the suave but deceptive businessman from the previous day.
This young man was far more direct, attacking Alex the moment the match began with a gray-black dagger. Alex barely stifled a laugh as he watched the eager challenger rush forward. He didn't even bother defending; instead, he swung his sword in a simple horizontal slash.
-21!
-1080!
Two massive numbers flashed on the screen, sending the long-banged guy back to reality before he could even process what had happened. His face filled with shock, disbelief lingering as he disappeared from the arena.
Back at the schoolyard, just like the day before, a crowd had gathered to watch the duels. When Alex's four-digit damage flashed on the screen, the audience fell silent. The speed at which his strength was growing left everyone speechless.
Many had been ready to cheer for his victory, but when they saw that Alex's damage had more than doubled since yesterday—rising from 400 to over 1000—nobody knew how to react.
Even Alex's classmates, like Tim and Charlie, were floored by the sheer magnitude of his power. The guide Quinn, watching the numbers rise, couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. Alex's damage output had grown so high that it could even pose a threat to his own life.
And this was just after a few days.
Alex, as an SR-level potential fighter, still had many of his attributes locked. Once he fully unlocked his potential, his strength would be truly monstrous. The next four duels were swift and brutal. Four more purple-tier monsters fell in a single blow, allowing Alex to breeze through his second day of the event with another five consecutive victories.
While Alex handled his matches with ease, the rest of his classmates had a far tougher time. Charlie and Tim faced formidable opponents, each barely managing to scrape together five wins after long, exhausting battles.
On a brighter note, their average level had surpassed 20, and their damage had finally increased. They could now deal over 100 points of damage with a basic attack. Charlie and Tim, using their skills, could even output between 30 and 50 damage points per hit.
The following days slipped into a routine. Every morning, they ventured out to hunt monsters, returning to the school in the evening for the arena battles. Gradually, they adapted to this new "game life," until the prologue of this game-like world finally came to a close.

**Four Days Later**
By the fourth day, Alex's attributes had risen to E-level, causing his experience gain to slow dramatically. Killing blue-tier monsters no longer provided any experience, and even purple-tier monsters only gave him 8% per kill.
This meant Alex barely gained any experience on the fourth and fifth days. And when his "War God's Glory" pendant lost its effect, the experience gained was even more pitiful.
In four days, Alex's level had only increased by around ten, but his damage output continued to rise as his attributes improved. At the same time, the monsters had become stronger, their power nearly doubling since the first day, though they still lagged behind the players in overall growth.
Despite the increase in monster strength, Alex's team maintained their pace of killing around 1000 monsters daily. However, as their attributes increased, their experience gains diminished significantly.
While Alex's level growth slowed, his teammates experienced more dramatic gains. Charlie and Tim reached level 51 and 53, respectively, while the rest of the group averaged around level 45. Their increasing power allowed them to complete all six days of five-win streaks in the arena, though everyone except Alex experienced at least one or two defeats.
When the seventh and final day of the arena ended, Alex and the rest of the survivors received a new system notification:
