Chapter 205 Black Chainmail
"Betty! Hellfire!"

[Ding] Battle notification: ...

brush!
Golden light descended, enveloping the body, and a warm current emanated from the skin, followed by system notifications.

[Ding] System notification: Congratulations on your level increase! Current level: 31.

He opened the panel, skillfully added all five attribute points to Strength, and then turned his attention back to the monster gathering area outside the courtyard.

Twenty minutes have passed since the monster-slaying began. During this time, he had Alice unleash the full potential of all the monsters and make them his target.

As expected, upon gaining his freedom, the monsters all focused their attention on him, crowding around him in the courtyard, creating a chaotic and turbulent scene.

Unfortunately, the Flower Crown Garden is built in mid-air, and apart from the fake Demon Butterfly Clan who can approach the entrance, other monsters don't even have the right to reach it.

With a pleasant sigh of relief, Ling Chuan fired his crossbow again. There were 4500 beetles, silver snakes, and butterflies in total. It would take about 20 minutes to free about half of them, which was not very efficient.

"Betty, use Flame Demon Descent!"

Boom! Stars fell, and the Flame Demon rose up, its charging form unstoppable. As Betty leveled up from 27 to 29, her magic attack had reached 1560+. Even if the Flame Demon could only inherit half of her value, it was enough to break through the defenses of all the elite-level monsters present!
Bang bang bang!
The 1.5-meter-diameter fire fists relentlessly bombarded the demon horde, unleashing tons of damage with the added boost of the burning aura.

Bear--

The hellfire rose again, and a flurry of combat notifications surged and overturned, instantly covering the previous kill information.

And so, another 20 minutes passed. With Betty's support and the help of the Mother-Child Soul Chaser, the entire courtyard plaza area was left with nothing but piles of monster corpses, as well as dazzling coins and more than forty blue-silver orbs.

I glanced at the experience bar; although it had soared to level 31 with 55% completion, I still couldn't help but lament the limitations of team mode in terms of resource allocation.

When a team has 5 or fewer members, the killer receives 50% of the monster's experience, while the teammates receive 30%; this is referred to as a "team" or "squad".

When the team has 5 or fewer than 10 members, the killer gets 40% of the monster's experience, and the teammates get 20%; this is called a "semi-team" or "small group".

When the team size is greater than 10 and less than or equal to 100, the killer gets 20% of the monster's experience, and the teammates get 10%; this is called a "team" or a "medium-sized group".

When the number of team members exceeds 100, the experience gained by the kill and teammates is no longer differentiated, and everyone receives 10%; this is called a "large team".

Apart from the core members whom the faction focused on cultivating, all other members, without exception, chose the last method for leveling up.

You might be wondering why monsters are so popular when each monster only grants 10% of the experience points.

The answer is not hard to find, because compared to the first three, the fourth is fairer and more efficient, and it greatly enhances the team's tacit understanding.

Moreover, a large faction often has a team of thousands of people; with so many people leveling up together, they basically take over a huge wilderness area and carry out a carpet bombing and looting; when killing monsters, the knights only need to form a square formation and push forward side by side to ensure that the output is uninterrupted and sweeps away monsters to extract experience.

While the experience gained from a single monster is indeed minimal, a single attack can wipe out dozens or even hundreds of monsters. This translates to leveling up more than twice as fast as in a party or other modes. Furthermore, powerful groups capable of clearing maps three or even six levels higher than their opponents also exist. Add to that a guild buff called "Guild Leveling Mode," where guild members team up to grind monsters and gain an additional 50% experience, making leveling even faster. This is one of the reasons why guild gameplay is so crucial in the game.

"Alice, I'm going downstairs for a bit."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Alice replied helplessly.

Ling Chuan gave an awkward smile and managed to get away with it by being cute.

There was no way around it; it was probably due to the demons' deeply ingrained class beliefs. During those forty minutes, Alice corrected his self-reference more than once.

He would naturally be delighted to be emperor, but the demon society is the demon society and the player community is the player community; what if he develops a habit of referring to himself as "this emperor" when talking to players? Wouldn't that lead to his social death?
So, to prevent such a blemish from appearing in his impression, he immediately gave Alice a long lecture of "love," which lasted for tens of thousands of words. Finally, the stubborn and loyal "Queen" gave in and accepted his proposal.

The proposal is as follows: In his demonized state, he must refer to himself as "Emperor"; but in his spiritified state, he can refer to himself as "I".

……

He flipped and leaped out of the courtyard with Betty in his arms, landing steadily in the treasure-filled battlefield; the monster corpses on the ground had already been wiped out by the system, leaving only crystal-clear, two-colored eyeballs that were beautiful beyond compare.

The Bloodline of the God of Hunts!
Activating the Hunter God bloodline wasn't to prepare for battle; it was purely to increase movement speed, since the 9% increase in all attributes overshadowed his own agility.

"Let's begin."

He picked up Betty and used his leaping footwork to quickly draw elegant arcs, clearing a section of the battlefield with each leap.

Ten minutes later, the battlefield returned to its original quiet and empty state, and his Fire Dragon Box, filled with more than forty items, showed signs of being loaded for the second time. Of course, compared to the glaring red weight bar, the funds column that shimmered with golden light and marked with a value of 800, representing the amount of gold coins he had, was truly pleasing to the eye.

(P.S.: Weight capacity and item slots are not the same thing; the weight capacity limit increases with strength, and when the weight capacity is reached, you still cannot store items even if there are enough slots in your inventory.)
Putting the storage problem aside for now, and having already looked past cloth and heavy armor, he was now more interested in special armor made of leather.

With this thought in mind, Ling Chuan boldly chose to erase all the concealing light orbs, revealing all forty-six pieces of equipment inside the Fire Dragon Box!

Not having the time to look at each item individually, Ling Chuan clicked on the item index—Armor—Leather Armor.

With a whoosh, all the items except for the six pieces of equipment arranged in a tight row went dark.

Six items?

A quick glance revealed three black and three silver pieces, clearly not the same style. Could it be that there's more than one set of leather armor?
After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and touched the jet-black, chainmail-like trousers, opening their panel.
