Chapter Eleven: Leveling Up

  Open up the new player zone map, and indeed as Lu Xuehan said, Ye Lang Village and Wild Dog Village are right next to each other, it seems that a ten-minute journey is not needed at all.

  All the way clearing the monsters in the way, when I arrived at the Wild Wolf Village, I had miraculously leveled up to 6th level. The experience of a 9th-level monster is not ordinary!

  Right! There seems to be a ranking list!

  Open the rankings, and surprisingly, all of China's top 10 are level 6. It seems that this game's leveling speed is indeed very slow, otherwise, someone should have reached level 9 hours after the game started!

  I carefully looked at the top 50 names several times, but I didn't see my own name. It must be that others have more experience than me! At the bottom of the ranking list, a small line of text reads: Your current level world ranking is 98652, China ranking is 60231.

  I'm speechless, among the top 100,000 players in the world, 60,000 are Chinese, my fellow countrymen are indeed crazy!

  ……

  At the entrance of the village, a beautiful girl was standing there looking around, and that pretty face was obviously Lu Xuehan, without any modification at all! This lady, isn't she afraid of being recognized in real life?

  "Lu Xuehan? Is it you?" I walked over and asked.

  The name of Qingcai Keke was right above our heads, I turned around awkwardly and said: "Let's just call you Keke, it sounds more natural, we won't use names from now on."

  Lu Xuehan nodded, gazing at my long sword with a hint of envy. It was then that I remembered something I needed to give her, and immediately opened the trading window, placing two items on it:

  Robe of the Warlock

  Defense: +6

  Intelligence: +4

  Required level: 6

  Excavation Rod (White Equipment)

  Attack: 4-6

  Required level: 3

  The staff was a lucky drop from killing small monsters on the road, and Lu Xuehan is still holding a broken sword with an attack power of 1-2 in his hand, now it's just right to switch to this staff.

  "You're now level 3, the robe can't be worn temporarily, but this staff can already be taken, it's much better than that rotten sword for hitting monsters, how about it, aren't you going to trade?"

  Lu Xuehan hesitated and said: "This dress can probably be sold for nearly a thousand RMB now, are you giving it to me just like that?"

  I couldn't help but laugh: "Fool, this is assigned to you by the organization, not given by me, so don't be embarrassed, take it and upgrade quickly, don't you understand what Sister Lin means?"

  Lu Xuehan finally put away the clothes, but in a very interesting transaction, she gave me 100 copper coins, which is probably all her money now. She's really struggling, unlike Xin Yu who can rely on her beautiful face to deceive men into bringing her up to level three. This level was probably achieved by her own hard work and effort. I'll put the money away for now and give it back to her when she can get a job. No time to bother with this right now, maybe that will make her feel a bit more at ease.

  "Alright, let's go level up. Stay close, my equipment is good. When we're fighting monsters, I'll take the lead and you can attack after me!"

  "En." Lu Xuehan obediently responded with a soft "yes".

  After forming a team with Lu Xuehan, we came to the Wild Wolf Valley again. As before, there were no players coming over, but on the slope below, we had already seen many players gathering and killing level 8 Mongrel Wolves in groups. It was laughable that we often heard someone screaming miserably, only to be reborn as a white light afterwards.

  "Are the monsters we're going to fight stronger than the ones here?" Lu Xuehan looked at those clusters of white light with a lingering fear, her voice trembling slightly.

  "Of course, there are 8th-level monsters here, but we're going to fight the 9th-level ones, don't worry, I've got everything under control!" My tone was very calm, and Lu Xuehan also quickly calmed down, closely following behind me as we entered the forest shrouded in mist.

  With my previous experience, I no longer play fancy moves, killing monsters directly in the simplest way. If I wasn't studying tactics and skills alone just now, I estimate that by now I would have reached level 7 and entering the world's top ten shouldn't be too difficult either.

  A sword fell on the top of the wolf's head, and a big "64" floated out. Lu Xuehan opened his small mouth in surprise and stared at it from the side.

  "Still not coming to chop?"

  At my reminder, Lu Xuehan also joined the battle, and her short wooden staff struck the top of Cang Lang's head.

  “-2”

  I stared at the number in disbelief, isn't this a bit exaggerated? Lu Xuehan should have at least 8 attack power now, how can he only deal 2 damage? Probably because of the huge level difference, a whole 6 levels!

  Lu Xuehan remained unmoved and continued to fight seriously, I also concentrated on joining the battle.

  "Ahh~"

  The grey wolf fell down and two of its teeth were knocked out!

  I was surprised at that moment, but Lu Xuehan smiled and said: "I also received the task, so there are two sets of task items."

  It turned out to be like this, I quickly clicked on the pick-up, but found that I could only take my own share, Lu Xueheng's share was inaccessible. After a while, Lu Xueheng suddenly shouted.

  "What's wrong?"

  Lu Xuehan's mouth opened wide: "I...my experience suddenly increased by half!"

  “……”

  Jumped 6 levels to kill monsters, the experience didn't increase much, but probably because Lu Xuehan's attack output was too low, so Cang Lang didn't give us equipment, which is a bit regrettable.

  I continued walking towards the next monster, and Lu Xuehan followed after sticking out her tongue.

  "Lin Fan, your sword attack must be very high, right?" My repeated high damage had piqued Lu Xuehan's curiosity.

  "Ah, an attack of 7-12, it's not very high, but it's not bad either. The reason you're dealing so little damage is because the level difference between you and the monster is too great."

  "Really? Then I have to level up quickly!"

  "Yes, by the time we reach level 6 and can wear that robe, we should be able to take on the monsters here one-on-one."

  Lu Xuehan nodded and asked again: "By the way, why don't I have any magic value now?"

  "I thought for a moment and said: 'It will probably appear after I start working.'"

  "Alright."

  Like this, chatting and killing monsters at the same time, it doesn't feel boring at all. Lu Xuehan's operation has also changed from being awkward at first to becoming more skilled, I even taught her some techniques for luring and escaping monsters, which she applied very naturally.

  Four hours passed unknowingly, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Xuehan surprisingly rose to level 6, and due to his low level, he didn't get much of my experience points. I also quickly rose to level 8. Opening the ranking list, I saw that I had already entered the global top 10,000. Indeed, there are many strong players!

  Lu Xuehan put on that long gown, and immediately became elegant and refined. The high chest, the straight buttocks, under the long gown were all so enticing.

  He was looked at so lightly by me, Lu Xuehan immediately blushed and said in a low voice: "Let's go back and hand in the task."
