What if a power to level up or upgrade everything—your way of living, battle skills, military prowess, etc.—but this power is limited to your Eldritch tribe.Would you expand your tribe to rise above all adversaries, would you use it to gain more personal power or use it to toy with everyone?Lyerin wanted nothing more than peace on himself, but all he had was regret. He possessed a secret ability that allowed him to quickly excel at anything he chose, but he could only use it once.While others had to spend a long time to reach higher levels or master new skills, he only needed to complete a simple, specific task to level up.However, he had already used this ability to count a specific number of sand grains to save his own life. After that, his existence became a living hell.One day, he was unexpectedly sent back in time, where he would witness numbers appearing in the sky, signaling the end of the world again—an apocalypse he despised the most!But Lyerin realized he could use his ability once more, this time on a certain group of people.A TRIBE!```[ Ding! ][ You have chosen to level up knife slash!

How did I become an F1 driver?Qin Miao discovered that he had the talent to become a top e-sports driver.Just during the college entrance examination period, he played with the simulator in his spare time and was surprised to find that he had the ability to compete with other professional e-sports drivers.You should know that he just played casually and had this ability. If he settled down to practice, Qin Miao would definitely have a bright future on the road of e-sports drivers.Qin Miao was ready to take the path of an e-sports driver if he failed the college entrance examination.But on a very ordinary day, Qin Miao gained a system.However, Qin Miao was still sensible. Even if he got the system, it was unlikely for him to become a formal F1 driver.Because when he got the system, he was already 19 years old and hadn't been exposed to anything related to racing before the age of 19.Two years later:Xiaozhou: There is no doubt that Qin Miao is a very talented driver, but I feel that racing is just a profession for him, his real hobby is live streaming and playing games.Lock: Qin? Just a second-generation Kimi.But then again, he plays CSGO really well, it was he who boosted my Earth.Old Man: Qin is a pure person, his life is only about racing... and video games.Dutch White-eyed Wolf: I have nothing to say about him.Bi Hai: If he spent half the time he uses to play games on the simulator, his achievements now would be far beyond this!Horner: I really appreciate Qin, he is a natural-born F1 driver and also a pure person, I very much hope he can join Red Bull and become one of us.
