This is true... when we were escaping just now, we did fight together. Although I only cast a few healing magic spells, logically speaking, I should have leveled up, right?
A level one character teaming up with so many level one hundred players, even with experience sharing, should still be able to level up, right? But Ellie understood... her own special nature meant she couldn't level up.
"I don't know... I can't bring up the panel menu right now, so I don't know if I've leveled up or not." Ellie had already prepared this excuse. Since she couldn't see the menu or her personal character attribute panel, it was easy to hide her level.
"I have a status probe skill... by just looking at Bai Xia's total MP, I can roughly deduce her level." Sierxia Na suddenly added from the side.
"As expected of a PVP master, you even learned a skill like that?" The Uncle smiled and teased Sierxia Na.
Oh no... this is bad!!
Ellie screamed internally. At this moment, Ellie remembered the scene of Shalltear battling Ainz. Status probe, that's a skill that can clearly see the opponent's total MP and HP!
She didn't have counter-magic like False Life Information. If it was just MP, that would be fine... her total MP was the normal amount for a level one or two player.
But her HP wasn't! If she looked at her HP too, she would be completely exposed! However, she had no excuse to stop Sierxia Na from probing her information, so she could only think of an excuse to salvage the situation, assuming she would be exposed.
Immediately after, Sierxia Na's red eyes on her skeleton face flickered. Clearly... Sierxia Na hesitated for a moment, then spoke in her calm tone.
"From her total MP, Bai Xia should currently be around level two or level three. It's just..." Sierxia Na looked as if she had more to say but held back.
"It seems Bai Xia can still level up then! That's good." Arute said with a slight sense of relief.
"Sierxia Na, what else were you going to say just now?" The Uncle also noticed his friend's abnormality.
"It's nothing..." It seemed Sierxia Na knew about the anomaly in Ellie's HP, but she just didn't say it out loud.
It seems I need to find a way to seal Sierxia Na's mouth, but she is the one who lived the longest among the Six Great Gods, and I can't just kill her here. This is truly tricky, Ellie thought.
After that, the subsequent conversations weren't very substantial. They mostly talked about the problems of this world, but it was basically all complaints.
Especially that ninja guy, Lan. From initially saying he didn't want to go back, he now actively wanted to return. After all, you can revive if you die in the game world, but if you die here, you're truly dead.
Although the resurrection short staff in Ellie's hand could grant one more life, there were so many people and only one short staff.
Moreover, to use that short staff, someone had to be alive. What if it was a party wipe?
Then everyone would truly be finished here, so Ellie could understand their feelings. Not everyone had nerves as thick as hers. After all, this was her second transmigration. As an experienced person, there was nothing to make a fuss about.
In fact, Ellie had already discovered her own problem. Although she had transmigrated, according to her original cowardly personality, recalling the things she did six hundred years later...
If she were still in her old cowardly personality, how many of those things could she have accomplished?
It seems Sierxia Na, like Ainz, lost the emotions a normal human should have after transmigrating as an Undead.
She herself was the same. All her former timid and cowardly traits were gone. No matter what happened, she would first think positively. Even when facing a crisis, she could remain incredibly calm. This way of handling things was something her former self, when she was alive, could not do.
In the evening, after everyone had eaten dinner with various dry rations, the issue of taking turns on guard duty came up.
Although Sierxia Na's aura-concealing barrier was in place, guard duty still had to be done. Lan, because his race was human, became sleepy at night. Speaking of which, among these Six Great Gods... except for herself and Sierxia Na, everyone else was human, so sleepiness was indeed difficult to overcome.
Arute's suggestion of a reasonable shift system, with two people per group, was very sensible, but it was rejected by Sierxia Na. Sierxia Na stated... that she alone could handle the night watch. This, of course, was opposed by the Uncle.
"Don't worry about me. My current body... doesn't need sleep." Sierxia Na said, then took her staff and walked out of the cave.
At this moment, the expressions of the others remaining in the cave were very complex. Ellie had indeed heard something amiss in Sierxia Na's tone just now, and coupled with Sierxia Na's concealment of her abnormal HP, Ellie felt it was necessary to start with Sierxia Na.
"Then I'll go with her! My body also doesn't need sleep." Just as the Uncle was about to follow Sierxia Na out, Ellie forced a very strained smile and then followed Sierxia Na out.
"It seems... even in such minor aspects, it's still within the influence brought by the game!" After watching Bai Xia and Sierxia Na leave, Arute said meaningfully.
"What do you mean by that?" The Uncle asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Miss Sierxia Na and Miss Bai Xia are the two among us who have always been the calmest, right? As women... facing a sudden transmigration, and even encountering enemy pursuit, they can still maintain such calmness. This is not normal." Arute looked at Livia-san and said meaningfully.
"You mean? They aren't real girls?!" The Uncle asked with a horrified expression.
"Where did your mind go! His meaning is that the game characters they chose should not be human. Although I don't know what race Bai Xia's chosen game character is, Sierxia Na is Undead. The Undead's passive skill isn't it immunity to all conventional mental status magic and the ability to automatically recover emotions? From Sierxia Na's performance, doesn't it fit the setting of the Undead race?" Lan, from the side, saw through it very clearly.
"Now that you mention it... the no-need-for-sleep part also... Damn it... What is all this?!" The Uncle suddenly realized and understood why his companion had a hint of sadness when she said she didn't need sleep just now.
