Chapter 15

Yang Ye chose a wild monster area with level 16 cat demons. These demons had high attack speed and were quick, making them quite troublesome. However, their defense was relatively low, so mages often chose to farm these monsters. When Yang Ye arrived, several mage teams were already farming here.

Farming monsters alone couldn't be too many, but it also couldn't be too few. After all, Yang Ye had two "people" here. Lilianna's attack was very high, so she was responsible for the damage output, while Yang Ye himself was responsible for pulling the monsters, which could achieve a good efficiency.

Yang Ye wandered around and found a good spot. The cat demons weren't too dense, and the mage teams thought there were too few monsters here, so they didn't come.

Perfect, this is it, let's start!

"Lilianna, activate the Ruthless Katana!" Yang Ye shouted while pulling a group of monsters toward Lilianna.

"Oh oh~ Look at Lilianna's summon! Ahaha... come out! The cute and ruthless Lilianna's Ruthless Katana!" Lilianna shouted loudly, not minding the strange looks from people nearby. The name was given by Yang Ye, and Lilianna thought it was great; she really liked it.

A white light flickered, and a uniquely designed katana appeared in Lilianna's hand.

"Great, Lilianna is awesome!" Upgrading depends on her, how could she not be awesome?

"Hehe... hehe... Brother, don't say that about Lilianna... Lilianna will be shy..." Lilianna blushed and stood there shyly, ignoring the fact that Yang Ye was being scratched by several cat demons.

"Damn! Lilianna, come help me quickly, I'm about to die!" Yang Ye shouted in frustration.

"Oh oh, coming, coming..." Lilianna said, and then she swung her katana and came over.

...

Lilianna's damage output was very powerful. As long as she could swing her katana, the efficiency of farming monsters could at least triple. However, without skills, they had to stop and rest or Yang Ye had to solo one or two cat demons. Overall, the speed of leveling up was much faster than a single person or a five-person team.

Many people tried to invite Yang Ye to join their team or join Yang Ye's team, but he refused all of them. It would be a joke to join someone else's team, as he would be dragged down. Although a five-person team seemed faster, the experience points were also divided.

After farming for three hours, Yang Ye reached level 14.5, and he was about to reach level 15, which would bring a major equipment update. After the update, the efficiency would likely be even better.

It was almost 7 PM, and Yang Ye chose to log off. After dinner, under Qin Yan's somewhat strange gaze, he logged back in to continue farming monsters.

He chose level 17 Blood Spiders and started the leveling journey with Lilianna again.

As he approached level 15, Yang Ye glanced at the TOST China region level ranking:

1. Song of Dragon Chaser, Level 25, Mage

2. Ethereal Snow, Level 25, Archer

3. I Am Hero, Level 24, Warrior

4. Extreme X, Level 24, Mage

5. Edge of the Sky, Level 24, Archer

6. One Thought to Demon, Level 24, Warrior

7. Stone of Mind, Level 24, Mage

8. Sakura Rain, Level 24, Assassin

9. Seven Nights, Level 24, Priest

10. Ink Crow, Level 24, Mage

All level 24! And they were all players supported by major guilds. With guild support, they could level up very quickly. But Yang Ye was still below level 15... The road ahead was long and arduous.

The Blood Spiders, as level 17 monsters, still had a bit of dignity. They could drain blood, had a disgusting entangling control, and a ridiculous web-acceleration. For 15 or 16 level players, coming here was like sending themselves to be killed. A few hits, and they would obediently become a meal. However, today they encountered Yang Ye, the warrior, and their dignity was trampled, but they had no power. This warrior was really a scoundrel, not fighting but just running, and a tasty little sister kept hitting them. But they just couldn't stand this warrior and had to kill him, ah, damn, I'm going to eat you!!

Looking at the ferocious Blood Spider charging at him, the trajectory under the miner's hat was clear. If hit, it would cause 122 points of damage. Hmm, a bit much, better to avoid it. He sidestepped, and the spider's leg stabbed into the mud next to Yang Ye. After dodging, he quickly moved forward, triggering the Rage effect and activating the Wolf God's Possession skill on the Leader's Proof, increasing his damage output. Instantly, the Blood Spider's health dropped rapidly. The weapon was a bit slow, but it didn't matter; there was Lilianna.

"Lilianna, Ruthless Katana!"

"Aha, hey! Ha! Hey!"

Lilianna obediently activated the Ruthless Katana, her skirt fluttering as she swung it with all her might. The damage output was indeed ruthless.

A few minutes later, another Blood Spider fell.

[System: You have reached level 15.]

Finally level 15!

Yang Ye couldn't wait to use the return scroll and instantly returned to the city. He found the warehouse and took out the weapon he had been thinking about for a long time—

Severed Grievance (Longsword - Gold Tier)

Equipment Level: 15 Warrior

Physical Attack: 119~124

Magic Attack: 77~82

+144 HP

Slaughter: Enjoy faster slaughter! Fixed reduction of 4 seconds to all Warrior skill cooldowns.

This is a good sword, but it's broken. — Gustav

Ha ha, equip it!!

After equipping the awesome weapon, Yang Ye felt much more confident—

Player: Battle of Promises

Level: 15 02%

Class: Warrior

HP: 1166/1166

MP: 233/233

Physical Attack: 276~287

Magic Attack: 92~102

Physical Defense: 529

Magic Defense: 387

Strength: 330

Intelligence: 62

Vitality: 258

Spirit: 58

Movement Speed: 40

Skills: Gravity Strike Level 1: The Warrior strikes with the large sword in hand, causing massive damage, with a 3% chance to cripple the target, reducing their movement speed by 30%. Brave Defense: Reduces skill damage by 10%, forces the target to hate the Warrior for 2 seconds, with a 1-minute cooldown. (Calculating attributes is exhausting! Readers, if you don't recommend or follow, it will make me very sad.)

At level 15, a Warrior has over 1100 HP and a maximum attack of 287, which is a very good attribute. Moreover, Yang Ye was still wearing level 5 silver equipment, and some slots were not even filled, so his attributes were not at their peak.

But this was already very impressive, especially since good equipment was scarce and hard to buy, even with money. That's why he could get a sky-high price for the Leader's Proof he sold to Song of Dragon Chaser.

Swinging the gold-glowing Severed Grievance, Yang Ye was very excited and eager to test the weapon's power. The top priority was still leveling up. Yang Ye hoped to enter the ranking list; he was just a commoner.

Entering the ranking list would bring him more benefits, helping him earn enough tuition and pay off Qin Yan's debt. Everything needed money.

After equipping the new weapon, which was a significant upgrade, and with Lilianna's attack, Yang Ye decided to farm level 18 monsters. Although it might be a bit slower, the experience gain was much higher than farming monsters of the same level. Although the highest experience gain was for jumping 5 levels, it was too difficult to farm monsters 5 levels higher.

Yang Ye checked the map and found the level 18 monsters around Rainfall City, ultimately choosing the crocodiles in the western area. Although they had thicker skin and more health, Yang Ye and Lilianna's attacks were sufficient, and the crocodiles' weak attacks allowed Yang Ye to pull large groups of them.

He teleported to the western area and led Lilianna to the crocodile spawn area.

Behind him, a person followed stealthily...

At the crocodile spawn area.

Yang Ye swung his sword heavily at a crocodile, then ran away, pulled another one, ran away again, and repeated this until he had a group of over ten crocodiles. Then he dragged them to Lilianna, and the two of them started beating them up together.

Experience points poured in.

Just as Yang Ye was immersed in the joy of leveling up, a figure appeared in his miner's hat—

An Assassin! An Assassin in Stealth!

Assassins can learn the signature skill Stealth at level 20. Stealth: Enters an invisible state, cannot be detected, becomes visible when attacking or being attacked.

Generally, a level 20 Assassin is considered a truly threatening Assassin.

Yang Ye wasn't afraid of Stealth. Even the most powerful Stealth could be seen by him, and he could even predict the end time of the Stealth. However, if the Assassin was a skilled player, it would be more troublesome.

In the miner's hat, the Assassin was clearly visible. Yang Ye pretended not to notice and continued farming, but his attention was on the Assassin. An Assassin in Stealth approaching quickly was definitely not there to chat but to kill.

The Assassin approached quickly, moving lightly and avoiding areas with tall grass and dust—when a character passes through tall grass, it flattens, easily exposing the Assassin's position. Dust and other elements like puddles and leaves also made it difficult for the Assassin to remain hidden.

At a distance from Yang Ye, the Assassin stopped, drew two daggers, and made a sprinting motion, like a leopard that has noticed its prey, waiting for the right moment to strike.

All of this was seen by Yang Ye, and he smiled. Although he didn't know who the Assassin was, he was eager to fight.

He turned to Lilianna and smiled, "Lilianna, do you want to play a game with Brother?"

"Ah, sure, sure, I love playing games with Brother! How do we play?" Lilianna said happily.

"Um... it's simple. You stand opposite me, and I'll give you commands. When you hear me say 'attack,' you swing at me with all your might to see if I can dodge. What do you think?"

"It's okay, but what if Lilianna hits Brother? Lilianna will be heartbroken..." Lilianna said, frowning.

"Don't worry, Brother won't blame you. If you hit Brother, I'll give you two gold coins. If I dodge, I'll give you one gold coin."

Lilianna thought about it. Two gold coins if she hit, one if she missed. Two is more than one, so she should hit...

"Okay, Lilianna accepts your challenge! Lilianna will definitely hit Brother, and Brother can't cheat. Let's pinky promise." Lilianna extended her little finger, bent it, and wanted Yang Ye to pinky promise.

Yang Ye, helpless, had to pinky promise. Then he had Lilianna stand in a position, while he faced away from the Assassin.

The Assassin, of course, didn't know what Yang Ye was doing. He was waiting for a blind spot, and now it appeared. The Warrior was actually facing away from him!

Opportunity!

Gale!

Charge!!!

The Assassin's face showed a mad joy as he stabbed fiercely at Yang Ye's back...

But he didn't see the thick mockery on Yang Ye's face...
