There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 305, The Plague Rescuers

Admittedly, using the silver crossbow to attack the evil god's messenger, the rat-tamer, was somewhat wasteful.

"Does a legend deserve to be executed by a god-slaying artifact?"

Unconsciously, holding the silver crossbow in his hand and stroking his chin, Xiao Yang began to ponder this perplexing matter.

At this moment, the rat-tamer, whose weapon was aimed at him by the silver crossbow, was suddenly drenched in sweat.

A messenger of an evil god, a legendary figure, is a rare and powerful individual even in the entire universe.

Is it necessary for the rat handler to be afraid?

Of course, the one who was restless, who almost reached the only one, was now lying peacefully on the ground beside him, fast asleep like a baby.

It twisted its body, but its body, which had just borne the power of the plague rat swarm, could barely even struggle.

It will take a little time, just a little time, for it to regain some strength and then escape.

Okay, okay, it's almost done, just a little bit more.

It has to be said that these messengers of evil gods are really tough. They were just fed cream puffs by their own god, and now they can move again.

Unfortunately, the hesitation on that wicked fellow's face was always just a deception.

The hard, silver crossbow was pressed against my forehead.

Let's think about it another way.

Use this guy's death to get an achievement, some equipment, some materials, and most importantly, vent your anger.

It's definitely worth it, right away!
The silver branch pierced his brow, his eyes widened, and he collapsed with a thud, lifeless.

Before he died, the rat rider's eyes widened, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the extremely wicked smile of someone.

He did not die peacefully.

The time to reap the rewards has arrived!
Xiao Yang, who had retrieved the Silver Crossbow and was happily humming a tune, began to welcome and take stock of his gains.

In this short period of time, his gains seemed so great that even the Gods Game couldn't keep up for a short time.

During the lag, a series of prompts kept popping up.

[Players have successfully accomplished an amazing feat, repelling the plague rat horde]

[Achievement: Plague Rescuer]

The player has successfully accomplished an amazing feat: defeating a god.

[Gained a unique trait that cannot be improved: Plague Healer]

[The player has successfully accomplished an amazing feat, repelling a horde of plague rats, and your legend is beginning to reach the ears of intelligent rodents who are interested in such matters.]

[Legendary status increased by 10]

The most important points are these three.

But the barrage of pop-up notifications from the Gods game hadn't stopped yet.

Congratulations to the player for successfully forging a divine weapon!

[Achievement Obtained: Artifact Forger]

[Congratulations to the player for acquiring the trait: Legendary Assassin]

[Player level is improved]

[Current level: 32]

[Remaining attribute points: 2]

[Player's Legendary Points Reach 10; Personal Legend is Brewing]

[The legend lacks widespread dissemination; check if it has partnered with Zhutian Culture Communication Company.]

[Promotion services and service providers are lacking. Players can contact Zhutian Culture Communication Company for promotion. The Legend Creation project is progressing slowly.]

This series of pop-up notifications represents the joy of a bountiful harvest.

First, there's an achievement directly related to the Plague Rat Swarm, which increases Legendary status and unlocks a trait.

[Plague Rescuer: Rodent monsters will terrify you with their presence]

Introduction: Your presence terrifies the mice.

Plague Healer
Quality: Mythical

Type: Special

Effect: Increases the individual's resistance to diseases by one level, preventing reinfection with the same type of disease.
Introduction: I defeated the plague rat horde.

There are still 10 points of Legendary Points remaining.

Leaving aside the legendary status, Xiao Yang was very satisfied with this title and these traits.

Regardless of the effects.

The existence of these two achievements and traits is more like a stamped display.

Moreover, this stamp wasn't placed on Xiao Yang, but on the other side by Xiao Yang.

"It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting."

Although Xiao Yang was not able to actually kill the plague rats, as long as he lived and carried these two achievements and traits, it was equivalent to firmly imprinting a quarantine note on the plague rats.

"In a certain month of a certain year, the plague rat horde was repelled by the adventurer, plague exterminator, plague healer, and savior: Xiao Yang."

This feeling is still quite pleasant. And then there's the rest.

[Artifact Forger]

Quality: Mythical

Effect: Forging skills increased by one level.

Introduction: How did you know I just forged a divine weapon?

This achievement has a pretty good effect; the bonus is very intuitive and simple.

With this achievement, Xiao Yang will be able to upgrade the quality of the equipment he crafts to a higher level, based on his skill level.

Excellence can create epics, and epics can create legends.

Xiao Yang's forging skills, which were practically nonexistent, showed signs of being salvaged.

Even after further reflection, there was only a slight glimmer of hope for salvation.

Although his level has increased, Xiao Yang's forging skills still need improvement. The silver crossbow in his hand is pitted and uneven, looking quite rough.

[Legendary Assassin: Attacks against legendary opponents of a higher level inflict an additional 100 points of unavoidable damage.]
Introduction: I am a ruthless killer!

The pop-up window for the Gods Game ended, but Xiao Yang's gains were not yet over.

His gaze fell on the two corpses in front of him, one large and one small.

The experience gain is complete. Next, the first thing to do is to devour the evil god devourer, then acquire equipment, and finally plunder Little Bone.

The four ways to cook one fish are about to begin.

Still reeling from the thrilling scene, Xiao Yang could no longer suppress his greed; the time had come to feast.

In the deep, bottomless, pitch-black cave, a silver thorn slowly climbed up.

As the Silver Tree awakens, the thorns that had been running rampant with it gradually regain their senses.

This silver thorn came to thank Xiao Yang; a dazzling silver gem was wrapped within its curled branches.

However, its timing for climbing up was not good. As soon as it climbed up, it saw someone rudely devouring the sumptuous feast in front of it.

Unfortunately, the guy who was enjoying his meal seemed to have seen it.

In fear and panic, the silver thorn dropped what it was holding, and the dazzling silver gem fell to the ground.

Silence returned to the field.

………….

The moment your profession level catches up with your personal level, a different situation arises.

Professional levels do not appear to surpass personal levels.

However, once the professional level reaches the personal level, the experience sharing mechanism will be activated.

The Evil God Devourer is sharing experience with Xiao Yang's personal level, but the shared experience is only about half of what the Evil God Devourer gains from its devouring behavior.

A significant amount of loss occurs during the transition from professional experience to personal experience.

Xiao Yang's personal level was raised once again, from thirty-two to thirty-five. The epics of the Fallen Giant Rat and the Rat Tamer gave Xiao Yang a considerable amount of professional experience.

The level of the Evil God Devourer has reached thirty-five, while the Glimmer Advancer has reached level twenty-two.

Upon closer reflection, it seems like I've lost out.

If it weren't for his personal level, Xiao Yang felt that by simply devouring the giant rat's corpse and the rat tamer, he could raise the level of the Evil God Devourer to forty.

But upon closer examination, it turns out that's not the case at all.

Such a transformation of experience could even be considered a benevolent act of divine intervention.

Xiao Yang finally understood how a normal player in a god-themed game could raise their level without having enough items to kill.

It clearly relies on the conversion of professional experience.

Take the simplest profession as an example, the warrior. The easiest way for this profession to gain experience, besides fighting, is through martial arts practice.

Faced with the ever-growing, despair-inducing length of the experience bar as the level increases, this warrior only needs to swing his longsword day after day.

Even without grand adventures or thrilling battles, they rely on hard work and unwavering willpower.

Wielding the longsword in one's hand every day offers a sliver of hope that one might glimpse epics and legends before death.

This mechanism is indeed a benevolent act of the gods.

But this way.

"Is cultivation speed the minimum standard of a profession?"

After thinking it over, Xiao Yang uttered this sigh.

If we use this standard, then I suddenly feel that my two decent jobs have become the worst of the worst.

Warriors can hone their martial skills and gain experience, mages can meditate, and cultivators can practice their internal energy, but the Devourer of Evil Gods can only do one thing.

"Kill!"

Kill more evil god's minions and consume more evil god's power; this is the only way to raise your level in that exaggerated experience marathon.

There are no other options besides that.
