Chapter 27

The summoner, Greedy Mouse, became nervous upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, unsure what Shi Feng wanted him to do. If he performed poorly and was kicked out of the team by an expert like Shi Feng, he would surely regret it.

These days, finding a good team was not easy, let alone a team led by an expert. It was something one could hardly hope for!

"Relax, I won’t make you do anything dangerous. You just need to summon the Flame Sprite and follow my commands. Don’t do anything else," Shi Feng smiled, trying to ease Greedy Mouse’s tension.

These days, summoners were not very powerful, mainly because their skills were not strong. The summoner’s attacks were primarily based on summoning elemental creatures, and their regular attacks were magic missiles, which dealt very low damage. However, a summoner with powerful skills could be considered an army, especially those who could summon powerful elemental creatures. They could kill elite monsters as if it were a game.

"Captain, rest assured, I will definitely do it," Greedy Mouse said loudly with a sense of reverence, like a student meeting a teacher.

"Everyone, stay away from that rock. It’s best to keep a distance of 20 yards. Be careful not to attract other monsters," Shi Feng turned to the others and said.

"Yes, Captain!"

The others also responded loudly, completely different from their previous attitude.

Shi Feng was slightly surprised by everyone’s performance. How had they all become so obedient?

However, Shi Feng didn’t know that his stone-throwing technique had already shocked everyone. Everyone was amazed by Shi Feng’s stone-throwing skills. The technique and accuracy were definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve. Even professional players might not be any better.

Admiring the strong is a common phenomenon in games, and these level 1 newbies were no exception. Now, everyone looked at Shi Feng with different eyes. If they previously thought Shi Feng was a good leader, now they admired him as a powerful expert, which made them feel a sense of awe.

Blackie patted Lonely Snow’s shoulder and said proudly, "How about it, isn’t it great to follow Brother Feng?"

Lonely Snow nodded silently, feeling fortunate to have followed Shi Feng. Shi Feng was definitely a beta tester expert. Such skills could not be achieved without sufficient experience and practice, and only a beta tester could possibly have them.

"Hahaha, what do you plan to do in the future?" Blackie suddenly asked. He was already thinking about recruiting Lonely Snow. Cola would definitely join them, but Lonely Snow had not yet made any plans, so he wanted to pull Lonely Snow into the studio, even though the studio was still just an idea.

"In the future?" Lonely Snow hadn’t considered it. He was just an ordinary player, playing the game to earn some money, with no grand ambitions. He honestly said, "I haven’t thought about it."

"I think your skills are pretty good. Why don’t you join us first?" Blackie said casually.

"Really?" Lonely Snow, asked by Blackie, was also worried about his future, unsure where to go. If he could join a team with experts, it would be the best.

"Of course, but we don’t take people easily. It depends on your performance," Blackie said in a proud tone, pretending to be an expert.

"Thank you, Blackie." Lonely Snow said happily, not expecting such good luck to be noticed by an expert.

Seeing Lonely Snow agree, Blackie breathed a sigh of relief. He was now bluffing, as he couldn’t help Shi Feng much in the Divine Realm, but he could help with management.

The studio didn’t even exist yet, with 16,000 points of debt and only two members, Shi Feng and himself. It was the poorest and weakest studio in history. If others knew, they would definitely turn and leave. Now, he could only pretend to be an expert to attract people.

At this moment, Shi Feng was explaining the plan to the summoner, instructing Greedy Mouse to use the Flame Sprite to lure the remaining six Night Rabbits. Since the Night Rabbit closest to the boss was no longer there, luring the other Night Rabbits would not attract the boss, so they could safely lure the monsters. As for the Night Rabbit that had left the group, Cola would lure it to one side and kill it.

The Flame Sprite was very weak, with only a pitiful 50 HP, and could be killed with one hit. However, it moved extremely fast and was very small, making it hard to hit.

"Start the operation. Remember to keep a distance of more than 4 yards, circling around the rock," Shi Feng reminded again.

Greedy Mouse nodded and carefully operated the Flame Sprite to lure the six Night Rabbits. When it got within 35 yards, the nearest elite Night Rabbit noticed the Flame Sprite and immediately charged at it, followed by the other Night Rabbits.

Seeing the Night Rabbits fall for the trap, Greedy Mouse immediately made the Flame Sprite run away. The six Night Rabbits pursued closely, but their speed was not as fast as the Flame Sprite. Soon, the Flame Sprite led them to the large rock, circling around it.

On the other side, Cola had already lured the Night Rabbit that had left the group, resisting while using the skill Holy Strike. The effects of the two bronze items made Holy Strike deal 26 points of damage, much higher than the 11-12 points from a regular attack. Holy Strike also had additional hate, making it easier to hold the monster.

In no time, the Night Rabbit was killed, dropping 5 copper coins.

With this Night Rabbit dealt with, only the six Night Rabbits circling the large rock remained.

"I’ll lure the Night Rabbits. Cola, pay attention to holding the monsters," Shi Feng picked up a small stone and threw it at the last Night Rabbit in the group.

The Night Rabbit, hit on the head, rubbed its head, turned around, and saw Shi Feng who had thrown the stone. It became furious, leaped forward, and charged at Shi Feng. The other Night Rabbits didn’t notice that one of their companions was missing and continued to chase the Flame Sprite happily.

"Take the monster!" Shi Feng saw the Night Rabbit had moved 20 yards away from the group and called out.

Cola rushed forward and used Holy Strike, hitting the Night Rabbit’s head.

The Night Rabbit immediately shifted its hate to Cola, extending its claws to attack Cola’s head. However, Cola reacted quickly, dodging the attack with a side step and using Retribution, further increasing the hate.

"Everyone, focus your attacks."

Seeing Cola’s performance, Shi Feng secretly applauded. He didn’t expect Cola to learn so quickly. After just over ten battles, Cola had already figured out the attack pattern of the Night Rabbits, living up to his reputation as the main MT of a top guild ten years later, with unlimited potential.

In less than twenty seconds, the Night Rabbit in front of Cola fell, dropping a Swordsman skill book, Double Slash.

Shi Feng didn’t hesitate and learned it immediately.

Double Slash, action skill, requires a sword, quickly deals two hits, each swing causing 120% + 15 damage, and adds a 20% bleeding effect that lasts 10 seconds, stacking up to 5 times, with a cooldown of 8 seconds, level 1, proficiency 0/300.

This skill significantly increased Shi Feng’s burst damage. As for adapting to the skill, it was not a problem for Shi Feng. Having played a Swordsman for ten years, he had every skill of a Swordsman imprinted in his bones. As soon as he got the skill, he could use it to its maximum potential.

The remaining five Night Rabbits were also lured out one by one and killed. With the last Night Rabbit dead, a golden light enveloped Shi Feng, and he leveled up to level 2.

At the same time, the five Night Rabbits contributed a bronze plate armor for the Guardian Knight, increasing Cola’s HP to 390 and his defense to 56, significantly enhancing his resistance against the Night Rabbit Leader, Vermi.
