Mufeng brought the two girls to a place called Yanlin Farm, a level 20 training area that had just been explored by players. However, there weren't many players training here because there were no quests related to this area available at the professional guilds. Only a few low-reward quests could be found in the nearby NPC town. This meant that players couldn't complete experience-rich and guild contribution-rewarding quests while grinding monsters, significantly reducing the efficiency of leveling up.
Mufeng chose this place for its low player density. The loss of experience could be fully compensated by the high efficiency of grinding monsters! Because this place was full of demonic creatures!
Demonized Wild Boar: Level 22 Demon. 3500 HP. A wild boar infected by demonic aura, now fallen into a monster.
Demonized Vulture: Level 23 Demon. 3600 HP. A vulture infected by demonic aura, now fallen into a monster.
Non-humanoid monsters wouldn't drop money directly but would drop items like teeth and feathers, which players had to sell at the store for gold. This was both space-consuming and troublesome. Moreover, it was rumored that the drop rate of equipment was lower, which might be another reason why this place wasn't very popular.
This place was full of such demonic creatures, and for Mufeng, killing demonic monsters could replenish his demonic value! During the first kill of the Demon's Lair, his demonic value bar had almost been depleted, and this was the perfect place to replenish it!
Finding a spacious and less crowded spot, Mufeng and the two girls officially began their grinding journey.
"How exactly are we going to grind?" Ye Luochengdie asked in confusion. As a single-target damage dealer, she didn't have the ability to deal area damage. There was no healer in the party, so they couldn't withstand prolonged grinding. Would they have to rely on potions?
"It's simple. You and I will lure the monsters to the center, and Xiaojiu will cast Rain of Fire to AoE the small monsters." Mufeng had a plan in mind. Although Ye Luochengdie couldn't deal area damage, her speed as a rogue made her the best choice for luring monsters.
"Xiaojiu is a demon warlock, and the damage from Rain of Fire is very low. It would take at least two rounds to kill level 20+ monsters. If we lure too many, none of us can hold out that long, right?" From Ye Luochengdie's perspective, this was indeed a problem. Luring too many could lead to death, and losing experience was a big deal. Luring too few would be inefficient and not worth it.
"Isn't there still me? Just do your best to lure the maximum number of monsters over!" Mufeng said with a smile. Explaining more to Ye Luochengdie wouldn't be as effective as letting her see it firsthand.
"Alright, I'll do my best to lure them once!" Since Mufeng was so confident, Ye Luochengdie decided to give it a try.
"You go left, I'll go right, and we'll turn back in thirty seconds!"
"Okay!" Ye Luochengdie nodded. The two quickly moved in opposite directions, starting their monster luring journey.
After thirty seconds, both were followed by a large number of demonized creatures. Mufeng had about dozens of demonized creatures behind him, while Ye Luochengdie, due to her sprint ability, had nearly a hundred!
"Get ready!" Seeing the two about to converge, Mufeng immediately reminded them. He activated Sacrifice. With his current 153 intelligence, the damage from Sacrifice reached over 220 per second, causing massive damage.
"Attack!" Mufeng shouted, activating Demon Value Burst!
-1621, -1623! -2546! Two consecutive Blade Traverses and a double-damage Dark Slash instantly killed all the monsters! The damage from Dark Slash after leveling up had caught up! Of course, this was also thanks to the powerful exclusive weapon, Fist of the Deity. At this moment, Xiaojiu's Rain of Fire had just started to fall.
"Amazing..." Ye Luochengdie was instantly stunned. This was the power of the top player in China...
"Ugh... You're bullying me again!" Xiaojiu ran over and kicked Mufeng's calf. Her Rain of Fire had just been prepared, and before it could even land, everything was over.
"Alright, that was just a joke. Xiaojiu, you just stand here. Ye Luochengdie and I will lure the monsters over to kill them. We'll level up very quickly." Mufeng smiled and comforted his angry sister. Sometimes, the more he loved her, the more he wanted to tease her and make her angry. Of course, he was the only one in the world who could do this. If any other man tried, he would suddenly disappear.
Although Mufeng activated Demon Value Burst to achieve such powerful instant damage, he actually gained a lot. He only activated it for three seconds, losing three points of demonic value. But he killed over a hundred demons, each giving him two points of demonic value. This meant he earned over 200 points of demonic value for free. Just a few more waves, and Mufeng's demonic value would be full!
At this moment, the system finally sent a message: the main team of Xingchen had successfully cleared the Heroic difficulty of the Demon's Lair!
"These guys... did a good job..." Seeing the familiar names, Mufeng smiled. "Let's continue! We'll aim to get on the level ranking list before we log out tomorrow afternoon!" The original top players were surely busy with clearing the dungeons for rankings. Although the first kill of the Demon's Lair had been secured by Mufeng and his team, there were ten spots for the clear rankings. If they couldn't secure even one, the guild's influence would be greatly affected.
However, clearing a dungeon wasn't something that could be done immediately. Many preparations were needed, such as collecting equipment and preparing potions. After entering the dungeon, they had to arrange tactics and endure countless wipes. Especially in the final stage of the Dark Researcher, they had to kill it in 15 seconds with its last 40,000 HP, which was a real challenge! Seizing this opportunity, Mufeng and his team really had a chance to appear on the level ranking list!
Since they were grinding to level up, Mufeng also released Xiaoxi to let her level up as well. He was looking forward to seeing what her skills would become after leveling up.
The entire area was cleared of monsters. But it didn't matter, as Yanlin Farm was very spacious with only a few scattered players. Mufeng and his team could grind without any worries. A few of these idle players recorded Mufeng's team's grinding video and posted it online. The powerful and efficient grinding method quickly went viral, and some people immediately guessed that the only hooded demon hunter was Mufeng himself! As for Xiaojiu and Ye Luochengdie's identities, no one knew.
"Alright, that's enough for today!" Checking the time, Mufeng decided to log out. It was already past 5 AM. Mufeng was now level 25, and Xiaojiu and Ye Luochengdie were also level 25, but they had reached it earlier. After reaching level 25, they couldn't level up further until they completed the class change quest. The three of them had successfully appeared on the Chinese Light Alliance's level ranking list at positions 7, 8, and 10! They had successfully achieved their goal of getting on the list!
Additionally, Mufeng's two pets, Xiaoxi and Qiuqiu, had also successfully reached level 15. Xiaoxi's Natural Blessing still hadn't upgraded, so he could only look forward to it at level 20.
"Phew! I'm so tired after grinding all night!" Ye Luochengdie felt sore all over. Luring monsters wasn't an easy task. If she accidentally got surrounded by monsters, losing experience would be a big loss. She was extremely fatigued after the entire night. As for Xiaojiu, she had found a soft patch of grass and fallen asleep long ago...
After logging out of the game, Mufeng went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. When the breakfast was ready, Xiaojiu didn't appear on time as usual. Mufeng went to Xiaojiu's room and gently pushed the door open. He saw Xiaojiu lying on the bed with the game helmet on, her breathing steady as she slept.
The recovery effect of the game helmet was much worse than that of the game pod, causing strong fatigue after prolonged use. Thinking about how Xiaojiu had been staying up late to play with the game helmet and then going to school the next day, Mufeng felt a bit heartbroken. Without waking Xiaojiu, he immediately called to order a game pod. Since Xiaojiu had overcome all obstacles to enter "Skyrim" and play with him, Mufeng was determined to make sure she enjoyed it!
