Ten minutes later, after we killed the 3rd batch, a loud bell resounded–
“Ding!”
Congratulations: You have become 1st Grade Corporal, attack +5.5%!
……
“Not bad!”
Shen Mingxuan held her bow and looked at all our ranks. She smiled, “We are all corporals!”
Lin Xi smiled.
Gu Ruyi smiled and asked, “What does this mean?”
“Means you rule five people, like… The class monitor in the army?” I said.
“Oh?”
Lin Xi smiled, “So we are four monitors?”
“Of course.”
I said solemnly, “Monitor Lin hello!”
“Monitor Lu hello…”
“Hahaha—”
……
Nothing good to say, continue. We drew in them in batches of 100 and this place was just too suitable for us. Pioneer Ghouls were good to kill, although they gave 120 points each overall it was quite high. Along with the experience, this place was heaven.
Moreover, the Pioneer Ghouls were all level 120, current players couldn’t kill monsters here so only we were here.
It was easy to raise the low ranks and at 1:30 am, the bell rang once more–
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations, you have reached rank 1st Grade Lieutenant, attack +10.5%!
……
“Lieutenant!”
Lin Xi sliced the monsters and each sword would cause a ripple of damage. In truth, the Fallen Frost Sword’s ripple effect was quite strong. The splash damage dealt 50% of her damage and after she killed one of them, she said, “I can sense the increase in attack from the rank.”
“It is obvious!”
I waved and said, “It adds Attack stats and is different from the equipment ratios. The attack is based on all our equipment and buffs and then adds 10.5%. This addition is different from a 10.5% attack increase of equipment.”
“Is there a difference?” Shen Mingxuan who was bad at math asked.
I looked at my stats, “My stats, for example, I have a total of 1200% addition, so if my base attack is 100, then my true attack is 1300. One piece of equipment adds 10.5% which means that this equipment adds 10.5 points. But the rank addition means 1300 multiplied by 10.5%, which means 136.5 points of Attack. One increases base attack while one increases overall attack, that is the difference.”
“Oh.”
Shen Mingxuan smiled, “Although I don’t fully understand it sounds really strong…”
“You noob!”
“Hahaha! I am Dongnan University’s genius okay!!”
“Cough cough…”
Lin Xi said softly, “Shen Mingxuan, in front of a Masters’s from MIT, don’t bring up your bachelor’s degree.”
“Oh…”
I was speechless, “I am not flexing my math, I am just telling you. Knowledge changes fate, if one doesn’t learn one will just end up as a salted fish…”
Shen Mingxuan, “…”
……
Mundane Slaughter asked in the chat, “who has the highest rank now?”
“Do you need to ask?”
Cal said, “Open the guild list and choose the order, you don’t know how?”
“Damn!”
Mundane Slaughter was shocked, “How are Lin Xi and Lu Li training? Just an hour so how are they so high? Damn, too strong?”
“Normal.”
Cal smiled, “They should be together. If Lu Li was alone I think it might be more terrifying. If this fellow was willing to grind, no one can compete with him for Marshal. He might take it all.”
“Yi?”
Moonlight Firefly asked, “Is there only one Marshal?”
“Looks like it.”
Cal said, “Didn’t the patch introduction say that the first person to get 100 billion points will become Marshal, then those after shouldn’t be? If not, there would be many Marshals but there should only be one. In the past, Li Xiao Yao was the only Marshal and there was no one else.”
“That guy…”
Mundane Slaughter said, “Let’s not talk about him, who knows how he is now?”
“He is good,” I said.
Cal was stunned, “Lu Li, you… How do you know he is good?”
“I saw him once.”
I sucked in a deep breath. Actually, since the Starlight quest, I didn’t tell what I saw to anyone. Even if I did not many would believe me. These things were so mysterious and connected to many things so it might not be a good thing. So I didn’t tell Ah Fei that I saw Han Yixiao too.
Thinking about that, I felt a little guilty. Ah Fei was also Han Yixiao’s good brother so I shouldn’t hide it from him.
Thus, I looked at Ah Fei’s account. I went online and called.
“Yi?”
Ah Fei who was carving inscriptions raised his head and smiled, “Ah Li, why did you send me a request so suddenly? Is it because of relationships that you want help?”
“Ah Fei there is something I want to tell you.”
“What thing, so serious?”
“I saw Old Han.”
“Ah?!”
His body shook, “You… Tell me exactly, where did you see him. He is not dead right?”
“No, actually I don’t know.”
I sighed, “After completing a quest I saw him in a whirlpool. I saw his body. He wasn’t in a good state and he seemed to have given up. He must be trapped in a certain space in the game and can’t come out. He also didn’t want me to find him and said that he doesn’t exist.”
“What did you see?” His eyes were red, “Didn’t you see him? He can talk to you so it means he is alive right?”
“Maybe.”
We are Hosted Novel, find us on google.
I frowned, “Ah Fei, this game has a huge secret but I don’t want to drag you in so I hid it from you. Sorry.”
“How long ago was this?”
“Half a month.”
“Oh…”
Ah Fei gritted his teeth, “Do you know… How you can see Old Han again? I will try to help you. He is our brother, we can’t give up on him…”
“I know.”
I sucked in a deep breath and said, “It is weird, to find a chance, I have to complete a Starlight Grade Quest.”
“Starlight Grade?”
Ah Fei was stunned, “I have never heard of such a thing.”
“So, you can only rely on fate.”
“En, I will try to find out. Once there is something that can trigger Starlight Grade quests, I will buy it.”
“En, that’s good.”
I nodded, “Okay, let’s continue to get points. Work hard too. Something is for sure, we need to get strong. If we are not strong enough, we won’t be able to do much even if we see him. This game is not as simple as a game, be mentally prepared.”
“Understood.”
Ah Fei said solemnly, “Who cares if it is a game or not, even if it is a tiger’s den, I will head in with you!”
“En, you should level and train your strength on top of inscribing.”
“Understood, from tomorrow, I will head towards combat. Anyways I can learn skills Mages can, I won’t be weaker than others.”
“Okay–”
……
After ending the call, I felt much better. I could finally share this with Ah Fei. No matter what, it felt good to have someone by my side.
Just like this, when I leveled until 6 am, we reached Flagbearer and our attack increase reached 16.5%. We felt much stronger when hunting monsters. The few girls also seemed much more tired now.
“Ah–”
Lin Xi stretched and smiled, “It has been a long time since we did this, I want to sleep, what about you?”
“Let’s sleep together, what else…” Shen Mingxuan said, “I am tired too, what about Ruyi?”
Gu Ruyi nodded, “I want to sleep too.”
Everyone looked at me. Shen Mingxuan smiled, “Emperor do you want to continue grinding or sleep with us?”
“Let’s sleep together.”
I touched my hair and said, “I don’t want to give up on my nice hair yet.”
Lin Xi laughed, “Okay let’s go offline and sleep until noon and then head online again okay?”
“Okay–”
……
We went offline in a small forest and the few girls were exhausted. Lin Xi wore the hairclip and tapped my shoulder, “Sleep more, don’t be too tired.”
“Understood.”
I went downstairs and said, “Shen Mingxuan order lunch, don’t forget!”
“Understood, so annoying!”
“Damn..”
