Healing to Kill

The two girls started farming mobs.

Qing Ying occasionally made a positioning mistake and took some damage, but it was completely manageable.

With the help of the Big Yellow Dog's damage, Qing Ying swung her final sword and finally killed the level 6 mob.

It took a total of three minutes.

In that time, Jiang Chen had already farmed five level 8 mobs and three level 9 mobs.

Including the previous ones, he had farmed a total of 115 mobs.

[Your level has increased to: Level 8!]

[Your four attributes +1 point, and you have gained 4 free attribute points.]

Jiang Chen leveled up to 8, and after allocating his free attribute points, his stats improved again.

Constitution: 17 (↑1)

Strength: 17 (↑1)

Agility: 17 (↑1)

Intelligence: 60 (↑5)

Magic Power: 140 (↑10)

At the same time, Jiang Chen noticed something frustrating.

He had killed 115 mobs and not a single piece of equipment had dropped!

"The drop rate for mobs is really low!"

Jiang Chen sighed.

Suddenly, his expression froze.

He heard Qing Ying's excited shout, "Xiaoyao, we got a drop!"

Jiang Chen had been keeping an eye on Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao while they were farming mobs.

He knew they had just killed a mob.

But he didn't expect them to get a drop!

"Is this what they call luck?"

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"It's a level 6 longsword. I checked, and it's worth between 5 to 6 gold coins."

"Xiaoyao, I'll transfer you 225 yuan for this longsword. How about it?"

Qing Ying suggested, as she needed the longsword.

And 225 yuan could currently buy 3 gold coins.

"Huh?"

Tao Xiaoyao was taken aback and quickly said, "No need to transfer money. Just give me the next piece of equipment that drops for me."

"Deal!"

Qing Ying didn't hesitate and immediately equipped the white longsword, increasing her attack power by 7 points.

Don't underestimate those 7 points of attack power. If she farmed Corrupted Zombies again, her damage could go from 7 to 14 points.

Efficiency doubled!

[Announcement: Player "Qian Xingtianxia" has reached level 10 first, the level ranking is now open. Players, please check it yourselves.]

Suddenly, the server made an announcement.

"1:05 AM."

Jiang Chen glanced at the time.

Just like in his previous life, "Qian Xingtianxia" reached level 10 around this time.

Jiang Chen even knew how he reached level 10.

Because in his previous life, he and Qian Xingtianxia were in the same Beginner's Village.

Qian Xingtianxia was the guild leader of [Beijing Nobles], and as his name suggested, he spent money to hire people to farm mobs for him, only landing the final blow on each mob himself.

It's said that just reaching level 10 cost him no less than a million.

He paid people to farm mobs, clear areas, and even buy equipment for those who helped him farm.

He paved his way with money.

Even Jiang Chen had earned a few hundred yuan from him by weakening mobs for him to finish off.

And the reward for the first person to reach level 10 was only 100 gold coins.

Qian Xingtianxia even posted a screenshot on the official forum, angrily cursing that the reward was an insult to beggars...

"Truly a fool with too much money."

Jiang Chen sighed, just like last time.

"Brother Mortal World, you're on the level ranking!" Qing Ying suddenly shouted excitedly.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and quickly checked the ranking.

Top Ten Level Ranking (Higher experience at the same level is ranked higher):

First Place: Qian Xingtianxia (Warrior), Level 10.

Second Place: Zai Xia Fa Ye (Mage), Level 9.

Third Place: Xian Duan You Shui Ting (Archer), Level 9.

...

Ninth Place: Jian Qi Heng Qiu (Warrior), Level 8.

Tenth Place: Mortal World (Priest), Level 8.

Jiang Chen was the only Priest on the list.

"The great master managed to get on the ranking even with us dragging him down. If he wasn't carrying us, would he be first now?" Tao Xiaoyao said with some guilt.

"No."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

He knew very well that the experience required for each level nearly doubled.

He had just reached level 8, and even if he took the experience from the two girls, he wouldn't reach level 10.

However.

Not being first now doesn't mean he can't be later.

If a boss were to appear...

Jiang Chen was thinking.

Suddenly.

"Look over there!"

Tao Xiaoyao's surprised voice rang out.

Jiang Chen followed her gaze.

In a crevice of a distant cliff, a tiny figure emitting a faint glow was flying in and out.

It looked like a young girl, but only palm-sized, with transparent wings on its back.

Then, it nestled in the crevice, its glow fading, blending in with the surroundings, making it hard to notice without careful observation.

[Fantasy Fairy (Beginner): Possession-type pet, can be tamed.]

"It's a pet!"

Qing Ying's eyes lit up, and she muttered to herself, "What's the use of a possession-type pet?"

"It's a Fantasy Fairy!"

Jiang Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement, unable to hide his joy.

He didn't expect to find a possession-type pet, a Fantasy Fairy, in such a place!

As the name implies, a possession-type pet can attach itself to a player.

It can provide various abilities, such as speed boost, enhanced recovery, defense, or even invisibility...

Jiang Chen remembered that the Fantasy Fairy's ability was Blink!

It had the effect of instant teleportation!

"Master, do you know how to tame this pet?"

Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Tao Xiaoyao asked curiously.

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded.

The two girls immediately looked at him with admiration, as if Jiang Chen was omnipotent in their eyes!

"Brother Mortal World is going to tame a pet? This will be educational!" Qing Ying said excitedly.

Tao Xiaoyao also looked expectantly, waiting for Jiang Chen to make a move.

"You probably can't see..."

Jiang Chen hadn't finished speaking when his expression suddenly changed. He saw several figures in the distance: "Someone's coming."

"Someone?"

Qing Ying was puzzled.

Tao Xiaoyao quickly looked around.

Soon, she noticed four figures appearing and disappearing near the entrance of Black Mist Canyon.

They were sneaking over, using a pile of rocks as cover.

They were too far away to display any information.

"There!"

Tao Xiaoyao pointed out the direction to Qing Ying.

Seeing Jiang Chen and the others looking over, the four figures stopped hiding and walked out directly.

Soon, their information was displayed.

Leading them was a female Mage with the ID "July Fireworks."

The other three were a Warrior, an Assassin, and a Priest.

Their IDs were also quite distinctive.

The Warrior was called "War Breaks the Sky," the Assassin "Stab Breaks the Sky," and the Priest "Heal Breaks the Sky."

Seeing the female Mage, Tao Xiaoyao's body stiffened, her mind going blank.

Jiang Chen could tell that Tao Xiaoyao was very nervous and uneasy.

He also recognized the female Mage named "July Fireworks."

She was the one who had previously stolen Tao Xiaoyao's mobs in the novice area.

"They're here to cause me trouble," Tao Xiaoyao said softly, her face pale.

"What trouble?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "They're just enthusiastic players here to deliver equipment."
