“Xiaoyan sis, I’m almost level sixteen!”
Looking at the excited Chongchong, Chen Xiaoyan felt frustrated.
Just a little bit more, just a tiny bit more, and she could have hit level twenty.
It was all because a small group of players weren’t listening.
They couldn’t wait to rush into combat before she could heal, which caused a loss of one-third of the experience.
Otherwise, she would have definitely reached level twenty by now.
Mu Qingxue’s face darkened like still water. One thousand (Yi Ren), each worth twenty experience points — that alone should have brought her to level twenty.
But unexpectedly, some mistakes happened.
However, since they were not members of the Xueyan Pavilion, she had no authority to hold them accountable.
This matter had to be let go.
“How much experience do you still need?”
Mu Qingxue approached Chen Xiaoyan and asked quietly.
“Around two or three thousand, I guess.”
Mu Qingxue looked thoughtful, then nodded slightly.
“Hmm, the are scattered too widely. They probably haven’t all been farmed yet. Let’s keep looking.”
They had wasted almost an hour here.
Judging by the players’ clearing speed, the chance of any leftover wild monsters was slim.
But people always hoped for a stroke of luck — what if there were still some?
Chen Xiaoyan didn’t object.
She was anxious to reach level twenty and start clearing the new dungeon.
“Then let’s split up and search.”
“Agreed. Contact me if you find any.”
Mu Qingxue led the Xueyan Pavilion’s Shushan players away.
As for those not from Xueyan Pavilion, she didn’t even want to acknowledge them anymore.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Xueyan Pavilion was still in its development phase and couldn’t afford negative publicity, those people would all be sent back to the sect to soak in hot springs.
“Xiaoyan sis, it’s all those people’s fault,” Chongchong pouted and complained.
“If only they listened to instructions, you’d be level twenty by now.”
“It’s fine. At worst, we’ll farm at the Monster Village.”
Meeting those people was just bad luck.
Rather than waste time complaining, it was better to go hunt wild monsters as soon as possible.
“Let’s go check other places for wild monsters.”
“Mm.”
Before leaving, Chongchong deliberately glared at that group of players, then turned and followed.
Those players were still caught up in the joy of leveling up, paying no attention to their expressions.
Big shot?
Sorry, you only count as a big shot if you benefit me.
Otherwise?
You’re nothing.
The entire first defensive line was swarming with players hunting wild monsters.
Tens of thousands of players?
Still not enough to share among over forty thousand players.
Chen Xiaoyan crossed mountains and ridges, searching for a long time but couldn’t find any leftover wild monsters.
It looked like she would have to bring Chongchong to farm at the Monster Village.
【Mu Qingxue: Found any?】
【Chen Xiaoyan: No, everywhere is full of players. The wild monsters must have all been farmed.】
【Mu Qingxue: My bad. If I hadn’t brought those people, this wouldn’t have happened.】
【Chen Xiaoyan: It’s not your fault. We just got unlucky. Once the quest ends, Chongchong and I will farm at the Monster Village to level up, and we can bring along our Xueyan Pavilion brothers and sisters.】
【Mu Qingxue: Okay, Xiaoyan, sorry for the trouble this time.】
【Chen Xiaoyan: Trouble? No way. I gained so much experience for free, I’m more than happy. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have gotten any.】
【Mu Qingxue: Mua~ I’ll keep looking. Wait for my news.】
【Chen Xiaoyan: Okay, I’ll keep searching too.】
【Dao Ji Shi Kong: Xiaoyan, almost level twenty?】
After sending the message, Chen Xiaoyan was about to close the private chat window when she noticed Liu Yue had also messaged her.
【Chen Xiaoyan: Almost there. I’m looking for wild monsters to farm some experience. Any news on your side?】
【Dao Ji Shi Kong: Coincidentally, I’m farming here too. Almost done. Want to come over?】
【Chen Xiaoyan: Yes yes yes, Liu Yue group me, I’m coming right away.】
On the other side, Liu Yue closed the private chat window, a smile playing at the corner of her lips.
It seemed her guess was right.
An hour ago, Liu Yue had noticed Chen Xiaoyan had leveled up once in the friends list, but the level hadn’t changed since.
That meant the wild monsters were all farmed.
She must be very anxious to reach level twenty and unlock the new dungeon.
“Pull the monsters away first, don’t let anyone outside Jian Ge farm them,” Liu Yue immediately commanded the Jian Ge members to start pulling monsters.
There were currently four hundred Jian Ge members, more than half of whom were Zhenwu players.
“What’s going on? Why pull the monsters away?”
This sudden monster pull by Jian Ge members immediately upset other Zhenwu players.
More than two thousand, farmed by thousands of Zhenwu players, but over eight hundred monsters were pulled away in one go — how could the players not be unhappy?
“What’s Dao Ji Shi Kong big shot doing? Why pull the monsters away?”
“What else? Wants to hog them all for herself.”
“That’s excessive!”
“Stop talking. She only pulled away a third. There are still over a thousand left. Let’s fight for them!”
“Damn, drop that, let me have it!!!”
Seeing these Zhenwu players target the, Liu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
If she had pulled all of them, they’d be chasing her up a storm.
This result was exactly what she wanted.
“Use the Liyuan Sword Formation to hold the monsters, no attacks for now.”
“Got it, leader.”
Pulling monsters was much easier for the Jian Ge players than for Mu Qingxue.
Once the Liyuan Sword Formation was deployed.
Liu Yue opened the map and checked Chen Xiaoyan’s location, somewhat surprised.
She was almost there.
“Xiaoyue!!”
Chongchong grabbed Chen Xiaoyan and sprinted toward her.
Huh?
Why was Chongchong dragging Chen Xiaoyan?
Because she was afraid that if their speed was too slow, the players would be farmed clean, and they wouldn’t get any experience.
So all along, they had been running full speed without stopping for a moment.
But Chen Xiaoyan’s physique was truly pitiable, so she could only rely on Chongchong dragging her forward.
Even so, Chen Xiaoyan was panting heavily, her legs trembling as if they were fitted with electric motors, barely feeling like they belonged to her anymore.
“Ah, I almost died of exhaustion,” Chen Xiaoyan leaned on Chongchong, sweat pouring down her face as she fanned herself.
Chongchong’s face was flushed, breathing even more rapid.
Whether her breathing was innocent or not was anyone’s guess.
“No need to rush so much.”
Chen Xiaoyan’s pitiful appearance made Liu Yue smile and shake her head.
She had prepared for a long monster pull but didn’t expect Chen Xiaoyan to be in such a hurry.
“Didn’t you say the farming was almost done? If I were any slower, wouldn’t there be nothing left at all?”
“Eh?”
Just as she spoke, Chen Xiaoyan saw the over eight hundred players being tormented by the Liyuan Sword Formation.
This scene seemed oddly familiar.
Could it be…
Chen Xiaoyan looked at Liu Yue in surprise.
She had done it on purpose.
