Chapter 116: with translation of chapter title

Xiao Feng and Xing Yun Miao met in Giant Elephant City.

As soon as they met, Xing Yun Miao said, "You level up so fast, you've already reached third class change; it seems you're diligent in leveling."

She is only level 85 now, and after defeating Dai Fei Aona, almost a full day has passed, yet she has only gained three levels.

It's not that she's lazy; it's just that after level 80, the experience required for leveling is inherently higher, and experience gained from low-level monsters is also reduced.

Her level is ahead of others, so she can't team up to level; she can only go alone to the high-level monster area and take them out one by one.

The support class levels relatively slowly, lacking area-of-effect skills, so its efficiency is naturally lower.

Xiao Feng replied, "I'm not that diligent either; mainly, I've been getting experience from two waves of garrison defense battles in a row, and it's been pouring in like a rocket—I can't stop it."

Who would have thought that as soon as Xing Yun Miao heard this, her tone shifted: "Before, you never called me for this kind of good thing; this time you only thought of me when you needed a support. So, when it's useful I'm a good friend, and when it's not I'm a stranger, right?"

Her tone carried a hint of complaint.

Xiao Feng put on an innocent expression, saying, "As the saying goes, offering unsolicited favors is either deceit or theft; if I don't ask for your help, I certainly can't call you, otherwise I might end up being seen as your lackey."

"You!" Xing Yun Miao rolled her eyes, speechless.

Seeing she was a little angry, Xiao Feng quickly laughed and coaxed, "Don't be mad, don't be mad, I was just joking. Come on, let me take you to level up for a while."

Saying that, he led the way to the teleportation array.

"Aren't we supposed to do the garrison defense battle?" Xing Yun Miao asked.

"The garrison defense battle is still a while away; idling is idling, so let's go fight some wild monsters first."

Only then did Xing Yun Miao understand and nod, saying, "Alright, you lead the way; with a free hired hand, not taking advantage would be a waste."

The two teleported to a nearby level 4 city and headed for the level 100 map.

This map is called the 【Galloping Horse Wasteland】, very vast, scattered with various beasts and mutant monsters ranging from level 95 to 115.

The monsters aren't densely packed, but Xiao Feng's skill range is exceptionally large.

He sometimes summons gales, sometimes downpours, randomly throws fire rings and fire walls, occasionally even puts a fire lord to work while he himself idles and rests.

When encountering especially many monsters, he also throws a sea of fire.

【Sea of Fire Technique】: Ignite the ground, creating a large sea of fire 30 by 30 meters, dealing magic damage equal to 45% of attack plus 510 per second, lasting 8 seconds, with a 60-second cooldown.

A square sea of fire with 450-meter sides, although its range is still slightly less than that of the 300-meter-radius Gale Technique, its high damage and the ability to freely choose the casting area make it instantly become Xiao Feng's strongest group damage skill.

With his current attack power, a single cast of Sea of Fire deals nearly 18 million damage per second; within its range, even a legendary boss that spawns would be instantly slain.

As for the Gale Technique, it only deals 6 million damage and has an even shorter duration.

Of course, when it comes to clearing the field, the strongest is still Blazing Dragon Soaring Dance.

Blazing Dragon Soaring Dance is a channeled skill; once summoned, it flies to wherever directed within 30 seconds and instantly kills everything in its path, dealing over 50 million damage, leaving no wild monster alive.

Under the third class change talent, the Blazing Dragon's wingspan has reached 330 meters, and it can fly as far as 5 kilometers away, even mightier than a bomber!

However, this skill requires careful control; during the channeling, one cannot be distracted, or the fire dragon will lose control and dissipate directly.

Moreover, at long distances the view is obstructed and operation becomes inconvenient, so it's only practical in extremely open plains.

Therefore, Xiao Feng still prefers to use direct-cast skills to clear monsters.

Xiao Feng and Xing Yun Miao leveled up in the Galloping Horse Wasteland, tossing out one large-range skill after another; it's almost like they've bought out the whole map, and no monster on it can escape the fate of being slaughtered.

Fortunately, no one else is leveling here now, or else they'd likely be scolded for being overbearing.

"Leveling with you is just too comfortable~"

Xing Yun Miao watched Xiao Feng unleash one map-cannon-level skill after another, and couldn't help but sigh.

With a teammate possessing such top-tier monster-clearing ability, she doesn't need to give buffs or supplement damage; she just needs to wander around picking up copper coins and equipment dropped by small monsters.

Both efficiency and comfort are more than ten times greater than her killing small monsters one by one herself!

Xiao Feng laughed, saying, "It will only get faster; my profession was born to clear maps."

Even at third class change, his skill range is already this vast; wait until he reaches fifth class change and enters the Holy Land, then sixth class change to ascend to demigod, and his skill range will become even more terrifying!

By then, if he unleashes the Divine Punishment skill Doomsday Calamity, it will truly be the apocalypse descending, and the entire main city will fall!

Xing Yun Miao immediately asked, "Can I often mooch your experience from now on? You gain experience whether you fight alone or bring someone along, so why not just be kind and take me with you?"

"It's possible, but… wouldn't you find it boring?" Xiao Feng countered.

"Boring?" Xing Yun Miao didn't immediately grasp his meaning.

Xiao Feng explained, "Playing games, the main thing is to have fun, not just blindly chase levels and strength. My two brothers both know I clear monsters fast, but they haven't followed me to mooch experience, because doing so would greatly reduce their enjoyment of the game, turning them completely into my lackeys."

If he wanted to bring someone to level up, with Li Li and Zhang Fan just over level 50 now, going with him to fight high-level monsters would let them gain two or three levels in an hour, easily catching up to the top ten on the level ranking.

But the two good brothers never made such a request; obviously they have their own things they want to play.

…for example, happily running dungeons with girls!

Hearing this, Xing Yun Miao couldn't help but laugh, saying, "But leveling itself is a happy thing; not having to do anything and still leveling makes it even happier! As for fun… you're probably not leveling 24 hours a day, right? The rest of the time you could go explore the game world."

"Um, this…"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but be stunned.

That statement sounded quite reasonable, and for a moment he found himself speechless.

"Alright, it's settled! From now on, bring me along when you level up; I can't do anything else, but loafing is absolutely my specialty!" Xing Yun Miao said with a smiling squint.

Xiao Feng pursed his lips.

Deep down he felt a bit resistant to this, because subconsciously he wanted to keep distance from female players.

However, in this situation, refusing would make both sides lose face, possibly even leading to deleting each other as friends.

Considering the strategic importance of Xing Yun Miao as the "primary support," he ultimately did not refuse, which amounts to tacit acceptance.

The two trained in the Galloping Horse Wasteland for a while; Xiao Feng's experience bar, already nearly full, filled up directly, reaching level 101.

Xing Yun Miao also rose to level 86.

Checking the time, the garrison defense battle of the gods' realm is about to begin.

The two crushed their return-to-town scrolls, teleported to Blood Dragon City, then teleported to the gods' garrison, preparing to start harvesting experience.
