Chapter 28: A Frenzied Harvest, Six Levels Up in a Row, and the Reaper of the Benefit!
Inside the cave, it had been transformed into a hellish place.
A dozen or so elite cave creatures that broke free of their cages.
They are waging the most primitive and bloody massacre against the goblin patrolmen.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the cave.
A five-man goblin squad had just formed a rudimentary defensive formation when they were struck by a single blow from the Lv.15 [Raging Crypt Lord].
The five figures were like sacks hit head-on, their bones shattered and their internal organs turned into mincemeat.
At the very end of their trajectory, where they were sent flying, a shadow silently swept by.
The novice dagger in Chen Yifan's hand drew five precise and deadly arcs in the air.
It grazed the necks of five goblins.
[Defeat a Lv.7 Goblin Patrolman and gain 70 experience points.]
[Defeat a Lv.7 Goblin Patrolman and gain 70 experience points.]
……
Five notification sounds rang out.
Chen Yifan didn't even look back at the corpse before his figure disappeared into another shadow.
He was like a ghost, an efficient grim reaper, lurking on the edge of the chaotic battlefield.
Every attack will take away a goblin.
There was no pity in his eyes, only the most accurate calculation of experience points.
[Defeat a Lv.8 Elite Goblin Patrolman and gain 400 experience points.]
[Defeat a Lv.7 Elite Goblin Patrolman and gain 350 experience points.]
[Defeat Lv.12 Elite Goblin Craftsman, gain 600 experience points.]
……
[Level increased to Lv.4!]
It's been upgraded!
A dazzling golden light exploded on Chen Yifan's body, but he suppressed it with incredible speed and it disappeared into the shadows.
A sense of power surged through my limbs and bones.
He allocated his 10 free attribute points to a ratio of 5 points in Strength and 5 points in Agility.
The efficiency of last-hitting has been improved once again.
A dozen minutes later, when he swiftly finished off a level 12 elite goblin craftsman whose body had been bitten in half by a two-headed earth dragon.
[Defeat Lv.12 Elite Goblin Craftsman, gain 600 experience points.]
[Level increased to Lv.5!]
Golden light rises again!
Chen Yifan narrowed his eyes, feeling the power surging within him once again, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
The minimum level required for the professional training program has been achieved!
But this is just the beginning.
Without hesitation, he allocated the points to Strength and Agility again.
Continue to wander around the dying monster.
More than an hour later.
As the last goblin was torn apart by the Two-Headed Earth Dragon, it let out its final howl.
There were almost no goblins standing on the entire second floor.
Chen Yifan's level has soared to [Lv.9] (Experience Points: 1420/3420)!
After allocating his 40 free attribute points, he added 20 points each to Strength and Agility.
Faster and more powerful.
At this moment, he sat leisurely on a severed iron chain at the highest point, swinging his legs and looking down at the three remaining, wounded monsters below, wary of each other.
He even had a slight smile of enjoyment on his face.
This is the power of wisdom.
To obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.
Head-on confrontation is something only a reckless person would do.
"That's about it."
Chen Yifan glanced down.
The cave creatures he released were not unharmed either.
It's his turn to "fisherman" and reel in the last net.
Chen Yifan leaped off the chains and landed silently, like a nimble cat.
He did not charge directly into the center of the battlefield.
His targets were those "prey" who were on the verge of death, clinging to life.
He activated [Super Speed].
The figure moved swiftly across the chaotic battlefield.
Soon, all the goblins on the battlefield were cleared away.
Of those cave creatures, only three remained.
Lv.15 [Raging Crypt Lord].
Lv.12 [Cave Six-Legged Spider]
And the Lv.13 [Poisonous Corrosive Monster].
The three of them were the ultimate victors in this chaotic battle.
At this moment, they are facing each other warily, both bearing considerable injuries.
The six-legged spider, in particular, had a huge gash torn open on its abdomen by the cave lord's claws, with dark green blood flowing all over the ground, and its breath had become very weak.
They both wanted to devour each other to heal their own injuries.
But no one dared to make the first move.
opportunity!
A cold glint flashed in Chen Yifan's eyes.
He didn't provoke those two big guys who still looked quite fierce.
His target was the six-legged spider that was already on the verge of death.
While you are sick, I will kill you!
He activated [Spatial Blink], and his figure instantly appeared behind the six-legged spider.
The giant spider seemed to sense the danger and tried to turn around.
But it was so badly injured that its movements became incredibly slow.
The dagger in Chen Yifan's hand had now been replaced by a longsword he had picked up at random.
It plunged viciously into the huge wound in its abdomen.
Then, stir it vigorously!
"hiss--!"
The six-legged spider let out a mournful hiss, its eight compound eyes instantly lost their luster, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
【Ding! 】
[Defeat the Lv.12 elite monster 'Cave Six-Legged Spider'!]
[Gained 600 experience points.]
Experience points: 2520/3420.
His actions also thoroughly enraged the other two monsters who were confronting each other.
Both the Berserker Crypt Lord and the Poisonous Corrosive Monster abandoned each other and fixed their murderous gazes on Chen Yifan, the "eat-stealer."
"roar!"
"Hiss!"
Two powerful monsters, one on the left and one on the right, came to surround Chen Yifan.
A powerful and heavy force, like a mobile fortress.
One was treacherous and vicious; the venom in his mouth had already begun to congeal.
This scene was enough to make any professional below level 10 despair.
Chen Yifan's face showed no sign of panic.
A smile appeared on his lips.
He is no longer the same person he was when he first came in.
Even if the opponent is at their peak right now!
He was confident he could kill them all without hesitation.
Chen Yifan aimed at the direction from which the [Rampaging Crypt Lord] was charging, and instead of retreating, he advanced to meet it head-on.
Just as the two were about to collide.
[Spatial Flash]!
Chen Yifan's figure vanished in an instant.
The [Raging Crypt Lord] was charging too fast and didn't have time to brake.
Its enormous body, carrying immense force, crashed straight into the [Poisonous Corrosive Monster] on the other side.
The [Highly Poisonous Corrosive Monster] clearly hadn't anticipated this turn of events.
Before it could even spit out the venom it had just condensed, it was hit squarely by a "small mountain".
Chen Yifan knew something was wrong.
This [Highly Poisonous Corrosive Monster] is already at its last gasp!
If he gets hit and killed, he won't get anything.
next second.
Chen Yifan has disappeared again.
It reappeared on the back of the [Poisonous Corrosive Monster].
The psionic energy completely covered the longsword in his hand.
A beam of white light.
Followed by.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
The [Poisonous Corrosive Monster] was smashed to pieces by the impact, its body, which was like mud, and green juice splattered everywhere.
It didn't even have time to let out a scream before it died on the spot.
【Ding! 】
[Defeat the Lv.13 elite monster 'Poisonous Corrosive Monster'!]
[Gained 550 experience points.]
Experience points: 3070/3420
That was close!
I almost lost my experience points.
Meanwhile, the [Raging Crypt Lord] was also in a bad situation.
The poisonous creature, before dying, exploded and splattered all over itself.
Its hard rocky shell was eroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, creating large holes.
Clearly, this one is already a lamb to the slaughter.
Chen Yifan checked his experience points.
I need less than 400 more points to reach level 10!
At that moment, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
[Spatial flickering].
Relaunch.
The next instant, Chen Yifan appeared above the cave lord's head.
With his longsword, he aimed at the cave lord's lantern-sized single eye and stabbed it down fiercely!
"Pfft!"
The longsword disappeared at the root.
The massive body of the [Raging Crypt Lord] trembled violently, and then remained completely still.
【Ding! 】
[Defeat the Lv.15 elite monster 'Rampaging Crypt Lord'!]
[Gained 1500 experience points]
A golden light flashed.
Level 10!
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented, explosive power within his body.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he let out a hearty laugh.
In less than three hours, he went from a level 1 newbie to level 10!
If word got out about this upgrade speed, it would definitely scare a lot of people to death!
He opened the attribute panel, looked at the impressive numbers, and nodded in satisfaction.
Name: Chen Yifan
[Occupation: F-rank Thief]
[Level: 10 (1150/4000)]
[Psionic Power: 1000]
【Mental Power: 300】
[Attributes: Strength 180, Agility 230, Constitution 85, Spirit 300]
Free attribute points: 10
180 Strength, 230 Agility, 300 Spirit.
What a terrifying attribute this is.
He felt incredibly strong right now.
"call……"
Chen Yifan let out a long sigh of relief and began to clean up the battlefield.
This time, my luck was absolutely terrible.
The entire second floor of goblins, plus these few elite monsters, only provided him with three rare-grade blue equipment items.
And a whole bunch of precious materials.
I thought it was over.
But his gaze fell on the corpse of the level 10 goblin patrolman, which had been slapped to death by the [Rampaging Crypt Lord] and was no longer recognizable.
Out of the meticulousness of a professional "thief," he still went forward and searched the place.
Suddenly, his fingers touched a cold and hard texture.
It's neither equipment nor currency.
He pulled the thing out of the gap in the bloody armor.
It was a thin book with a cover made of an unknown black leather that felt cool to the touch.
And at the very moment he pulled it out.
A purple halo flashed across the book cover!
Chen Yifan's breathing suddenly stopped.
Purple!
This is... above even the blue rarity...
Epic item!
