How do I add another stat datastore save to my stats script?

Hello, So I'm making a game and I was wondering how can I add so my kills stat would save. I already added it so I just need the save thingy. The problem is that a guy on here gave me this script and I don't really understand it that much.

My code:

01local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local CashDS = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Cash")
03local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
04 
05game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
06    local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
07    Cash.Name = "Cash"
08    Cash.Parent = plr
09    Cash.Value = 0
10 
11    local Kills = Instance.new("IntValue")
12    Kills.Name = "Kills"
13    Kills.Parent = plr
14    Kills.Value = 0
15 
16    local data
17    local g, err = pcall(function()
18        data = CashDS:GetAsync("cash_"..plr.UserId)
19    end)
20 
21    if not g then
22        warn(err)
23    else
24        if data ~= nil then
25            Cash.Value = data
26        end
27    end
28end)
29 
30game:BindToClose(function()
31    if RS:IsStudio() then return end
32    local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()
33 
34    for _, plr in pairs(plrs) do
35        local data = plr.Cash.Value
36 
37        if plr:FindFirstChild("TagValue") then
38            data -= 50
39        end
40 
41        if data then
42            local g, err = pcall(function()
43                CashDS:UpdateAsync("cash_"..plr.UserId, function(old)
44                    local new = old or 0
45                    new = data
46                    return new
47                end)
48            end)
49 
50            if not g then
51                warn(err)
52            end  
53        end
54    end
55end)
56 
57game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
58    local data = plr.Cash.Value
59 
60    if plr:FindFirstChild("TagValue") then
61        data -= 50
62    end
63 
64    if data then
65        local g, err = pcall(function()
66            CashDS:UpdateAsync("cash_"..plr.UserId, function(old)
67                local new = old or 0
68                new = data
69                return new
70            end)
71        end)
72 
73        if not g then
74            warn(err)
75        end  
76    end
77end)

These leaderstats are good but there are better ones that use NumberValues as leaderstats, and it's so much easier to add more of them and it goes up to even infinite amounts of leaderstat names! Simply put this script inside of ServerScriptService and put NumberValues inside of it. Make sure the values are named after the leaderstats u want in ur game. Only one of the leaderstats will work inside of Studio, normally they all work, so u should probably make a testing place if u dont have one already. Hope this helped!

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
02local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
03 
04     local leader = Instance.new("Folder",player)
05leader.Name = "leaderstats"
06 
07for i,v in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do
08local d = DataStore:GetDataStore(v.Name)
09local x = Instance.new("NumberValue",leader)
10x.Name = v.Name
11x.Value = d:GetAsync(player.UserId) or v.Value
12 
13 
14 
15end
16end)
17 
18game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
19    for i,v in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do
20        print("Getting")
21        local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
22        local d = DataStore:GetDataStore(v.Name)
23        d:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats[v.Name].Value)
24        print("Saved")
25    end
26end)
