Chapter 65: Undying Shield (2/2)
Du Thirteen looked like he really wanted to cry.
Li Le stood not too far away, coldly watching us. He originally wanted to strike up a conversation with Murong Mingyue to flirt with her, but who knew that Murong Mingyue was also an experienced gal. She immediately saw through the playboy and didn't reply to any of his words. She didn't even bother to look at him.
Li Le could only sensibly stand in place and quietly leech experience. With me and Gui Guzi's DPS, our clearing speed was pretty high. Murong Mingyue had even summoned a Wasp to level it. The Wasp had 4.5-star Attack growth, which made it a king among offensive pets at the current stage. Priests lacked offensive potential, so for Murong Mingyue Wasp was an ideal choice.
……
I went offline at around noon to have my lunch break and rested for an hour before going back online to continue the grind.
I grinded all the way until 3 pm. Following a streak of golden light, Li Le reached Level 27, gaining a total of six levels, which was above our commission quota.
”Alright, give us the gold.”
I turned around, my voice toward Li Le cold. He hesitated briefly and then traded me 100 gold. At this point, Murong Mingyue was Level 36, Gui Guzi was Level 38, and I had reached Level 40, finally breaking through that huge threshold!
I opened Floating Cloud City's Heavenly Ranking. I was a bit surprised. More than half a day had pa.s.sed yet my ranking didn't rise at all. It had dropped instead. The other experts in the Heavenly Ranking were definitely solo grinding at a high efficiency rate—

……
I had already dropped to seventh place. It was as if I had fate with this number. Since the beginning of the game, I was the person who occupied seventh place the longest.
Lin Yixin had been close to Level 41 the day before, and now she was already Level 42 due to today's efforts. She still had a good lead with Dominating Heaven Blade closely behind her. Half of Floating Ice City's Heavenly Ranking was basically taken over by the Domination Clan. Lin Yixin and Clear Perfume were a team, while I and Gui Guzi belonged to b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries. This kind of ranking was pretty good to a non-top gaming workshop like us.
Murong Mingyue took out a return scroll and said with a smile, ”Send me a message the next time you need me~”
I gave a slight nod. Sister Mingyue had actually forgotten about the 10 gold fee and was going to head back to the city.
I shot a smile at Gui Guzi and Du Thirteen. ”Get ready to go back, let's go drinking tonight!”
Li Le coldly snorted. ”Tch!”
Our Young Master Le then arrogantly walked into the not-so-distant forest. Gui Guzi yelled, ”Hey, don't run around like that, we're not responsible if you get yourself killed!”
Li Le said disdainfully, ”I'm gonna gather some herbs. You guys can leave. I don't need your protection!”
Du Thirteen laughed. ”Careful to not step on c.r.a.p, there's a ton of wild bears that s.h.i.+t in the forest…”
Li Le's disdain grew even more. ”Pooh, so f.u.c.king vulgar!”
Right at this moment, Li Le's entire body suddenly froze in place. A blood-red dagger swept across his neck, followed by a dark red damage number—371!
Ambus.h.!.+ Level 20 a.s.sa.s.sin skill that could stun the target for 1 second!
Once the a.s.sa.s.sin made his second move, Li Le's HP had already disappeared. His eyes went wide and his vision dimmed as he collapsed to the ground, dropping a huge pile of items. There were several low-level Iron-grade items and… and the Creature Holding Stone the Blood Skeleton was sealed in!
