Chapter 112: Su Sheng's Big Appetite!

A relaxed and enjoyable leveling time.

Occasionally, someone would still come to this graveyard.

But soon after, they left again in dribs and drabs.

Generally, players around level 20 could hardly withstand these low-level demon corpses.

Unless there were many people, like a shogunate squad.

But if there are many people, the shared experience is less, making grinding these low-level demon corpses relatively low in cost-effectiveness.

Thus, Su Sheng was hardly ever disturbed.

Naturally, his leveling speed was lightning fast.

Plus the previously solo‑eaten corpse king, even with only half its experience, it was a huge amount.

After a day, Su Sheng finally approached level 26; as the game time ended, he estimated he would reach level 26 tomorrow.

Unfortunately, lacking the previous stroke of luck, no more goodies like a one‑time dungeon scroll appeared; equipment‑wise, he got two pieces of level‑30 green gear, whose stats were barely passable.

But Su Sheng wasn't disappointed; if such things dropped easily, they wouldn't be precious.

Still, reaching level thirty is a long and arduous road.

Meanwhile, Su Sheng reminded Huan Jie and Chen Guan to level up quickly, promising a surprise when they reached level 30.

The motivation to level up on both sides grew even stronger.

Although they didn't yet know what Su Sheng's level‑30 surprise was, they had already begun to anticipate it.

…

An uneventful day passed.

That night, after logging on, Su Sheng continued to kill low‑level demon corpses.

Half an hour later.

A flash of golden light—level 26!

One point of strength, two points of constitution, three fixed attribute points, plus two free attribute points—five attribute points per level.

Following his habit, Su Sheng dumped all his free attribute points into constitution.

On the attribute panel, the balanced attack‑defense value reached 871, and his HP reached 4870.

After allocating his points, Su Sheng killed a few more low‑level demon corpses, then stopped grinding and frowned slightly.

At level 26, grinding level‑30 low‑level demon corpses is a four‑level jump, which hasn't reached the five‑level experience‑protection threshold.

Not only did the experience needed to go from 26 to 27 increase, but the experience gained from killing low‑level demon corpses also decreased, so Su Sheng naturally frowned.

Let's change the leveling spot—Su Sheng thought it over and made up his mind.

As for where to go, Su Sheng already had an idea.

Most players would struggle to level up in the graveyard area, yet Su Sheng was dissatisfied with the experience there.

"I'm not chasing anymore..."

Upon hearing Su Sheng's latest news—he had already reached level 26—Shen Wang was speechless, glancing at his own level‑25 experience, which was about two‑thirds full.

"Sometimes I really wonder if he's cheating," Shen Wang said, looking somewhat gloomily at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao shrugged: "That guy can never be measured by common sense."

Shen Wang fell silent for a moment, a flicker of memory crossing his eyes, and he spoke somewhat emotionally: "Indeed."

It would be great if he had a mount.

Su Sheng sighed while rushing along.

Unfortunately, the mount and pet systems, according to the official announcement, only unlock after the second job change when players reach the main city.

The Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger—these four great main cities—are accessible to players after level 40.

About an hour and a half later, Su Sheng saw the goal of this trip.

Inferior demon soldiers

Level: 38

Attack:???

Defense:??

HP:??

Skills:??

Explanation: Demon General Karkel, through himself, infects local soldiers with demon energy, turning them into these inferior products, yet they still retain some combat power.

That's right—Su Sheng's destination is precisely this demon‑energy rift valley.

Although he still can't handle the Demon Suppression III quest target, the peripheral minions feel fine for his current stats.

It's just that the demon soldiers here are too densely packed, so pulling aggro needs caution.

Su Sheng tried pulling a monster over.

Sure enough, after his attribute boost, fighting the monsters here became much easier.

After all, his attack‑defense value is now 871; ordinary players would estimate it's around level thirty‑plus, roughly this value, maybe even a bit lower.

After slaying a demon soldier, Su Sheng was surprised to find the experience gain seemed to exceed his expectations—it had already reached the five‑level experience‑protection threshold, and appeared to be a bit more.

Last time he came, he painstakingly killed one, but he hadn't paid close attention to this aspect.

But after thinking about these monsters' strength, a slightly higher experience gain isn't really a big deal.

Thus, Su Sheng began killing monsters with a peaceful mind.

However, as time passed, Su Sheng noticed a problem: each of these demon soldiers drops something.

Soldier's insignia (white)

Material.

Explanation: The dog tags of soldiers who died in the Demon-Subjugation War, if handed over to the City Guard, might yield unexpected rewards.

(The more there are, the richer the reward).

That one I painstakingly killed last time also dropped, but there was only one then, and Su Sheng, disliking that it took up space, casually shoved it into the warehouse.

Also, these inferior demon soldiers seem similar to the mechanism of the previous Demon Energy Castle—killing them does not respawn!

I just don't know whether they will respawn like the previous Demon Energy Castle.

If they don't respawn, does that also mean the number of these soldiers' dog tags is limited?

Thinking of this, Su Sheng's heartbeat skipped a beat.

If that's the case, then the reward for these soldiers' dog tags was actually designed for all the players in the town?

No wonder the number of inferior demon soldiers here is so huge.

At a glance, the end cannot be seen.

Based on the troop numbers when we previously lined up, Su Sheng estimates that the number of inferior demon soldiers here is at least close to thirty thousand!

If I could collect all thirty thousand dog tags myself....

Simply unimaginable!

First, grind them; when the game time is about right, go back and take a dog tag to test the waters, see what it gives.

But Su Sheng, while grinding monsters, was calculating in his mind.

After thinking, it seems impossible for me to take them all on alone.

Although I can currently solo these inferior demon soldiers relatively easily, it still takes about a minute each; if luck is bad and the trigger for Phoenix Flame, Rend, or the poison status on weapons is too low, I have to spend a bit longer.

On average, even if it's one per minute.

Here there are over thirty thousand inferior demon soldiers, meaning it would take thirty thousand minutes.

30000/60=500

500 hours! That's how long it would take me to take down all these inferior demon soldiers.

In-game time is only 12 hours a day.

500/12=41.666....

Over forty days!

Unrealistic!

Su Sheng raised his eyebrows.

The game has only been open for about ten days, yet the players' levels are already 20+.

In another forty days, no matter how the players are, they'll all be pushed here, so relying on myself to eat all these inferior demon soldiers is unreliable.
