Only I Level Up By Shoveling-Chapter 88: "Penalty"

The slander was so blatant that anyone with a normal mind wouldn’t believe it!

But the "shifting blame" effect was already active, so the spirit on Castra’s left side immediately believed Castra’s words and glared at his own sibling with hatred.

"I knew it! I knew that you hated me!"

"What?? I didn’t— "

Castra: "You did, you did. But I think you’re so...weak. Your sibling must have thought the same."

!

The spirit on Castra’s right side immediately exploded and angrily berated his other sibling.

"Who are you saying weak?? I’m the strongest among us!"

"Just you?? Look in the mirror!

"Ha, you’re jealous, brat! Bring it on!"

The two spirits suddenly dashed towards each other and punches flew everywhere!

Naturally, the formation was broken and Castra was free.

He immediately tried to take out the wriggling dark fog from inside the invisible box when a loud shout suddenly exploded from behind.

"Hey, you, criminal! Stop there!"

Castra subconsciously froze and stiffly turned his head around to see a group of spirit officers running with all of their might.

The moment the officers saw the fallen bodies around Castra and the wriggling dark fog suspended in the air, the officers’ faces instantly became fierce.

"Hands up! You’re surrounded!"

"You’re under arrest!"

Castra: ...??

Hello? Isn’t he the one who submitted the report? Why is he the one being captured??

Castra hurriedly raised both of his arms while explaining,

"Officers, it’s a misunderstanding! I’m the one who submitted the report and called the officers!"

The group of D-rank spirit officers squinted as they looked at Castra with half-distrust, as if saying:

You? The one who made the report? But you’re fine and the others all collapsed!

"Really, believe me! These people attacked me to rob my bound spirit and I just fought back!"

Castra pointed at the foggy spirit and swore all kinds of vows to barely convince the officers.

"Fine, fine. We will check the monitoring record later. For now, come with us!"

The D-rank officers from various elemental factions looked like a fair one, so Castra obediently followed the officers.

The officers didn’t forget to tie down the group of collapsed spirits, even knocking out the two spirits who were punching each other.

At the same time, the delayed Spirit World’s announcement finally rang throughout the Lower Sky.

BEEP. [Congratulations to " Poop Shoveler Officer" Spirit for advancing to D-rank!]

[Congratulations...]

The announcement was repeated three times and the spirits living at the Lower Sky instantly went into an uproar.

—Isn’t this spirit the one who has been promoted to E-rank just recently??

—It has only been a day at most, right??

—Did this spirit just advance after being summoned once?? There’s no way they could be summoned a few times in just a day!

Many spirits in the Lower Sky could never advance by a rank, much less two ranks in just two days??

Would there be a hero emerging from their slum??

The lower-ranker spirits were all energetic while the D-rank officers looked at Castra’s blue glow with complex emotions.

This spirit suddenly advanced to the same level as them...

Hm, jealous.

While the others were secretly seething in jealousy, Castra looked at his new rank and noticed a row of new skills that was unlocked recently.

Not to mention, his existing skills had all leveled up to D-rank and their effects had changed considerably!

Castra couldn’t help but smile like a pervert while Poo, who was about to leave work soon, immediately bombarded Castra with notifications.

DUNG! [Congratulations for advancing to D-rank!]

[You have received 1 free star attribute— ]

Before Poo gave the list of stats to level up, Castra didn’t hesitate to add the free star to his luck stat.

His previously 3-star luck stat immediately changed to 4-star!

Once Castra was done, Poo waved a handkerchief and sniffled,

[Okay, host, that’s it for today! Poo has to leave now! See you at 7 a.m Spirit World’s time tomorrow~ ]

With that, Poo disappeared, and Castra’s various skills earned from the system also turned grey.

His 4-star luck stat immediately dropped back to the pitiful 2 stars!

Castra could only trot behind the officers with a gloomy face and finally arrived at the officers’ patrol post along with the unconscious spirits.

Once Castra was brought in, the officers immediately checked the monitoring device around that area and got the full story of the feud.

Indeed, Castra wasn’t in the wrong here, but...

"Can you explain this unregistered spirit? You should have known that an unregistered spirit is extremely dangerous!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The lead officer, a young man with green hair, shot a glare at Castra and the wriggling fog spirit.

"Bringing an unregistered spirit is fine, but using it in combat at Spirit World is a crime!"

Uh...

Castra blinked and spoke in a helpless voice.

"But they were the ones attacking me first. I wasn’t promoted to D-rank yet back then, so I could only ask for my bound spirit’s help..."

It’s not his fault!! Don’t give him any random penalty!!

Unfortunately, the officers were rigid and immediately imposed a penalty.

"No matter what the reasons, you will be fined 1000 Spirit Coins and you can’t receive a summon for 3 days!"

"As for these D-rank spirits...we will hand them over to the officers at the Middle Sky. They will also get their retribution."

The D-rank officers only dealt with Lower Sky’s residents and since Castra was still at the Lower Sky, he was dealt with quickly.

Castra could only hope that the Middle Sky’s officers were fair and just. If not...

He could get his own revenge.

After all the interrogations, Castra registered the toilet spirit and as expected, the spirit’s level was sealed down to C-rank!

Still, it was a catch, so Castra didn’t mind, until—

The Spirit World’s notification sounded.

BEEP. [Poop Shoveler Officer Spirit, you’re required to move to the Middle Sky.]

[Please change your registered residence in 24 hours.]

[Warning! Warning! If you don’t move within 24 hours, your promotion will be revoked!]

! What?? The rank promotion could be revoked??
