My talent is 1.

The more Zhong Wuyai thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Apart from the 22 gold coins which she decided herself, everything else was discussed between Shen Mengli and Zhang Haitao.

This woman is making decisions for herself... This is completely upside down, I've become her henchman.

No, this habit can't be allowed to continue; it needs to be corrected.

But this woman knows a lot and is very useful, so for now we can only keep her in check.

"Shen Mengli, give me the locations and information you know about the bosses. I'll fight the next boss myself."

"No?... Dude, what do you mean? You asked me for the BOSS's information and then kicked me out?"

"You won't be shortchanged. I'm not short of money either. Go find Xiang Yang and Yang Yimu. They can handle all the bosses below level 50."

"Epic bosses too? You must be kidding me."

"Level 30 Epic Boss, taken down in one minute!"

Shen Mengli felt like her brain wasn't working properly and she couldn't think straight.

A level 30 epic boss, a team of a thousand people, with SSS and SS-level talents as the main DPS, couldn't be defeated in less than half an hour, and they were constantly being killed.

Who are the people in Xianyang Palace? Are they all S-level talents?

No, no, what would I need gold coins for? Although the more gold coins the better, I can get them myself, it just takes time.

"That won't do either. I don't want gold coins; I want the announcement reward."

"Don't want gold coins? Then the money from the token distribution has nothing to do with you!"

"Ugh! How could you be like this!"

You can't tell the difference between the big and small kings. Do you think I can't find these bosses without you? It just takes time.

"You can only choose one. You've already made a huge profit just from the number of resurrections. Don't be too greedy."

Shen Mengli was conflicted. If she didn't agree, she would really lose. So what if this guy didn't have any information? He could kill a level 40 epic boss in seconds. Would she still get a share of the first kill announcement rewards? It would just take some time to find the boss.

Even if you know where the boss is, so what? Even if you tell everyone... you still have to be able to defeat him...

"I don't want the guild token's share anymore, just take the announcement reward, okay?"

You're smart enough to know what's good for you... Hmm, this way you'll quickly have 50 gold coins, then reach level 50 soon and try using the gold coins to upgrade a 10-star piece of equipment.

Zhong Wuyai didn't say anything more and entered the teleportation array...

Shen Mengli glared fiercely at Zhong Wuyai before being teleported to the mountain city as well.

Since we're already here, we definitely have to run the Hell Dungeon. Putting everything else aside, we can't miss the level 50 Gold BOSS and the level 50 Epic BOSS. What if we get another Guild Token?

The three entered the dungeon, and Zhong Wuyai didn't even use Fireball; he directly used Chain Lightning to sweep through the dungeon.

The bandit leader was taken care of with a single fireball, followed by a chain lightning attack.

Shen Mengli was completely speechless.

So many strange things! A chain lightning bolt had been spinning more than a dozen times and was still spinning. When Zhong Wuyai released the second chain lightning bolt, some unlucky monsters were hit by two lightning bolts at once.

Shen Youchu kept counting how many times the chain lightning would bounce, but by the time the third chain lightning struck, she had lost count.

The area was cleared in less than a minute, and then, the third leader of Qianfeng Mountain Stronghold...

This time it was easy. A chain lightning, a fireball, and a critical hit, and he died on the spot.

Shen Mengli felt like her brain couldn't keep up. Two seconds, a level 40 silver BOSS, gone in two seconds?

Zhong Wuyai repeatedly challenged her understanding, making it impossible for her to determine his attributes.

Even with a full set of fully enhanced gold equipment at level 80, Fireball won't deal a million damage. Even with the various bonuses from Sikong Shen's SSS-level talent, it's impossible to deal that much damage after level 50.

Perhaps it's possible to have a full set of 10-star equipment, but this guy in front of me is like a bug in a fantasy world.

All of this data is either impossible or shouldn't exist.

The equipment is level 20 and has been upgraded. Judging from its appearance, there must be more than one piece. And the damage is ridiculously high.

Next up is the second-in-command; this is a great place to grind monsters.

Zhong Wuyai did not rush to deal with the second-in-command, but waited time and time again for the second-in-command to summon elite bandits.

"This upgrade speed is amazing!"

Shen Youchu looked at her rapidly increasing experience bar; it hadn't been long, and she was about to level up again.

"It's limited, a maximum of 10 waves."

Zhong Wuyai hadn't thought about these things; last time he had finished the battle quickly.

Since there are 10 waves, let's take them all.

After dealing with the second-in-command, Shen Youchu reached level 20 and Shen Mengli reached level 21.

Zhong Wuyai, on the other hand, has 37% of the experience required to level up (26). Since leveling up requires 3.5 million experience points, sharing that experience among three people naturally slows things down considerably.

Following that, there were elite bandits and then the council chamber.

This time, Zhong Wuyai jumped over directly and paralyzed both bosses with a chain lightning attack.

Fireball! Fireball! Seven or eight fireballs landed, resulting in a spell critical hit. The damage of over two million caused Shen Mengli's brain to shut down again.

Shen Youchu remained silent the entire way, like a dazed baby, watching Zhong Wuyai's performance without saying a word.

At the fourth second, the strategist of Qianfeng Mountain stronghold could no longer hold on.

[Ding! You have defeated the Gold BOSS, Thousand Peaks Stronghold Strategist, and gained 150000 experience points. You also gained an additional 900000 experience points for defeating a monster of a higher level.]

It has to be said that the experience given by level 50 bosses is still ridiculously high.

In seventeen seconds, the leader of Qianfeng Mountain stronghold was defeated, and all the bosses were now taken down.

[Ding! Defeat the epic boss, the leader of Thousand Peaks Stronghold, and gain 200000 experience points. An additional 1200000 experience points will be gained for defeating a monster of a higher level.]

Zhong Wuyai's experience bar was instantly full.

Level 27, one step closer to level 30.

Shen Mengli and Shen Youchu have also leveled up. Shen Youchu is only 200,000 experience points away from level 22.

The leveling spots that Shen Mengli remembered seemed somewhat useless at this moment.

"Oh right, the Guardian Tree in the Branching Plateau should have respawned by now, let's take care of it then!"

"lead the way."

To the north of the Thousand Peaks Mountains lies the Branch Plateau, and to the south and east is the teleportation point to the Sea God's Ruins.

Fortunately, Guyang Village is located in the northern part of Qianfeng Mountain, otherwise the journey would have been even longer.

After crossing the Thousand Peaks Mountain, the Zhijie Plateau is about half the height of the Thousand Peaks Mountain range.

A river flows through the middle; to the northwest of the Zhijie Plateau lies the Zhijie Plain, and to the east of the Zhijie Plain is Niuti Bay, which connects to the Endless Sea.

"This place is indeed suitable for building a city."

On the branch plains, you can vaguely see NPC villages and farmland.

If a city is built here, these villages can be brought under its jurisdiction. These villages are not under the jurisdiction of the Azure Dragon Empire; whoever occupies them owns them.

Of course, you have to be able to defeat them; NPCs that are generally level 50 or higher are not easy for just anyone to take down.

Moreover, the NPCs are invincible; you can only attack them after you establish a base and start a war.

"What's that area to the north? The sea?"

"Further north of Coldwind Continent lies the Ice Plains, and closer to that, on the high snow-capped mountains, stands the Temple of the Frost Goddess."

"To the east, that's the sea, isn't it?"

"Yes, Crescent Bay connects to the Endless Sea and is also a gathering point for many rare resources."

"So you're going to build your base here from now on?"

"Yes, but only after level 50. Right now, even if you have a garrison token, it's useless; you can't defend against monster sieges."

"Monster siege?"

"What do you think? There's a 24-hour protection period after you build your base. Once that period is over, the monster siege will start immediately. Only if you can defend it will your base be considered successfully built."

"It's quite troublesome."

"But there are many advantages as well. With such a dense concentration of monsters, once we manage to defend against them, the resources, gold coins, and experience will be enough for everyone to advance to a higher level."

"That's true. Where is the Guardian Tree?"

"At the junction of the Branch Plateau and the Branch Plain, the Guardian Tree is also involved in a quest, but the item didn't drop during the first explosion."

"What mission?"

"It relates to the elves of the tranquil forest. Completing the quest will reward you with a hidden job change certificate, which allows you to change your job to either a Blood Elf Mage or a Night Elf Ranger."

All three of them were hidden professions, so naturally they wouldn't care. Besides, Shen Mengli had seven or eight hidden profession change certificates in her warehouse, and even more rare profession certificates.

Zhong Wuyai also has two hidden profession certificates, while Yang Yimu is still a regular assassin. This BOSS must be dealt with.

The Zhijie Plateau was full of level 35 monsters, and it wasn't until we reached Liangwan River that we saw the Guardian Tree.

Honestly, this boss is very strong; melee fighters simply can't withstand it.

It has high attack, high defense, a large health bar, and a slowing skill.

The fourth skill, in particular, has the shortest description, but its effect is the most overpowered.

Once out of combat, they can quickly recover their condition and be fully healed in no time.

In other words, once a typical team starts a fight, they either resolve the situation in one fell swoop or slink away in disgrace.

"Last time we were both in the throes for several hours, the blood volume was just too thick!"

"Oh~!"

Zhong Wuyai didn't even bother using Chain Lightning, and just used Fireball.

The Guardian Tree was in pain, and Zhong Wuyai unleashed another fireball.

At a distance of 50, the guardian treant couldn't attack Zhong Wuyai at all.

Although the third fireball landed a critical hit, the treant stopped moving when its health bar reached 30%, and slowly stood up.

"Ha... You want to stand up? No way!"

Fireball!

The guardian giant was very frustrated; the tree roots hadn't even been pulled out of the ground before it was dealt with.

If the War Treant's skill hadn't triggered and negated the damage, there wouldn't have been a need for the fourth fireball.

"Mengli, we've been fighting for almost four hours, and look at this guy, four seconds!"

"What are you comparing yourself to a pervert for?!"... "Wait a minute~, what do you mean~...?"

"No, no, no... I was just expressing my feelings!"

Zhong Wuyai picked up the item, but unfortunately, it contained no quest items...

Where is the level 50 Bronze Boss?

"There's one in the Branch Plains, and another in the Longitudinal Mountains and the Wind Plains Rift Valley. Choose whichever you prefer!"

"What about the tranquil forest?"

"The forest elf territory is related to many quests, so it's best not to disturb it. Later, when you do quests and your affinity level increases, you can form an alliance, which will also allow many of your allies to obtain rare or even hidden classes."

"Then let's climb the mountain!"

It took two hours to travel and only a few seconds to fight monsters. Zhong Wuyai felt like he was wasting his time, but considering the rewards from the world announcement, he didn't care about it.

However, the package is already full after the journey.

Zhong Wuyai had no choice but to start spending lavishly, throwing away all materials below bronze level, and keeping only two sets of 999 white crystals. If he wanted those, he could just dismantle a few pieces of equipment.

Looking at the things scattered all over the floor, Shen Mengli's lips twitched. Was this guy really short of money?

Shen Youchu squatted down next to Zhong Wuyai, throwing one item at a time and picking it up.

Of course, all they picked up were white crystals and black iron materials.

"No, what do you need these things for?"

"Sell it for money. It's nothing like yours. I spent 10,000 gold coins on a single piece of equipment that was enhanced to level 5."

Holy crap, what a rich girl! Over 10,000 gold coins. In the entire server, besides herself, who else could easily come up with that amount?

This girl, all for one piece of equipment.

Zhong Wuyai subconsciously wanted to say that he would take care of the equipment and that he should just give him the money, but he held back. If the two of them were willing to join his guild, he could easily get them a whole set, let alone just one piece.

With her S-level talent and hidden profession, Shen Youchu is, in a way, no one in Xianyang Palace except herself is a match for this girl without her help.

"Why don't you come to Xianyang Palace? I'll give you an elder position and three pieces of enhanced equipment."

Zhong Wuyai asked a question tentatively.

Shen Youchu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Is it the same as Mengli's, enhanced to +10?"

"Yes, if you're lucky, you can even upgrade it by one star, and get three items!"

"Shut up! She's my vice president! How can you be so shameless as to poach her right in front of me!"

"Mengli, why don't you sell the guild? It's just the two of us anyway, and we're just scraping by following Brother Wuya around, aren't we?"

A voice popped into Shen Mengli's mind: That makes sense!

Pah! ...That makes no sense at all!

"Do you know how valuable the second-ranked guild in the game is? It can't compare to the first-ranked guild, but when building a base, it can reduce material consumption by 20%."

Zhong Wuyai never expected that his casual remark would actually elicit such shocking information.

"Tsk tsk tsk~! ...The second-best guild in the game...Tsk tsk, just two pitiful people, a guild leader and a vice-leader~! Oh my, big news!"

And there is...

"A 20% reduction in material consumption for guild base construction? ...You didn't mention that before!"

"You didn't ask, and besides, do you have a garrison permit?"

"Then how much will I reduce the number of bases I need to build?"

"50%, and if it's the first to establish a base, it can be directly upgraded to a town."

"No, we have to hurry. Forget about the level 50 bronze boss first kill. From level 60 onwards, we only have one goal—the Territory Token!"

"Feeding...it's just a convenient thing, and we've already reached Zongshan!"

What are the levels of the bosses in Zongshan?

"Level 50 Bronze, Level 50 Silver, Level 50 Gold, and there is a Level 55 Dark Gold BOSS at the top of the mountain."

"Aren't there any epics?"

"It has a level 60 epic item in Wind Rift!"

"Then let's head straight to the Wind Rift Valley!"

"I'm truly impressed by you!"

"It's just a level 50 bronze first kill, why bother with this? Wouldn't a level 60 first kill be better?"

"I just don't want to let this go so easily!"

"Hey~... We need to be able to beat everyone else besides me. They're all level 40 and it'll be hard to handle them. We can always come back and deal with them after we get the Garrison Token."

Then, we continued our detour, from Zongshan to Fengyuan Rift Valley, which took another hour.

Moreover, Zhong Wuyai walks, while Shen Mengli's summoned beast is not a mount and cannot be ridden.

So both women were running.

"How can you be so fast? We run at the same speed as you walk."

"It's alright, 250 agility is enough to keep up."

"Aren't you a mage? Your magic attack damage is so high, where did you get so many attribute points to increase agility!"

"secret!"

Although they were on the move, the monsters along the way were getting higher and higher level. Zhong Wuyai would occasionally cast a fireball, and his experience was slowly increasing.

After entering the Wind Rift Valley, the experience points given became even more outrageous.

[Ding! You have defeated the elite monster Rock Giant Lizard and gained 8000 experience points. Defeating a monster of a higher level grants an additional 96000 experience points.]

"What level is this thing? Even if three people share it, it'll give them 100,000 experience points!"

Level 60!

"No wonder!" "See? My decision was right. There are so many monsters here, enough for you two to level up several times!"

Shen Mengli didn't say anything more. Her experience bonus was even higher, and she had secretly used an experience scroll. If she could really kill all the ordinary monsters in Fengyuan Rift, reaching level 26 wouldn't be a problem.

I fought monsters that were more than 30 levels higher than me and received more than ten times the experience.

Because Shen Mengli's level was lower, she received 18 times the experience.

Looking at the rapidly increasing experience bar, he unconsciously swallowed. This was simply a leveling paradise, of course, only if Zhong Wuyai was with him.

Then the idea of ​​seeking refuge with Zhong Wuyai unconsciously popped into his mind again, and he opened the message bar.

"Mengli, why don't you think about it...?"

"What do you mean, 'this'? The guild must be in my own hands."

"But..."

"There's no 'but' about it!"

"But you have absolutely no idea how to develop a guild. Even if you know so much, do you know how to manage it? You've been dragging this out until now and you still don't dare to recruit anyone. Don't you understand? You're simply not cut out for managing people."

Shen Mengli fell silent, and Zhong Wuyai also turned around to look.

Are these two girls arguing?

You're sending messages to each other even when you're face-to-face, deliberately avoiding me. Do you want me to figure out who's leading you guys around?

Of course, he wasn't interested in gossiping about the two women. Once he got the first kill reward, he would level up on his own.

Leveling up here yields significantly more experience than running dungeons.

"Have you two finished whispering? This place is cleared out; we need to move!"

"Oh, oh~!"

The two followed, but neither of them spoke.

"Are you having a tiff?"

Forget it, why bother with all that?

Zhong Wuyai was grinding monsters when a loudspeaker message popped up on the national channel.

"Fengyun Guild is recruiting. Players with A-level talent or above will be given priority. Excellent benefits, guild totem attack bonus, and critical hit bonus."

Immediately afterwards, two more large loudspeakers appeared...

Without exception, they are all hiring.

Looking at the content displayed on the loudspeaker, Shen Mengli felt a sense of frustration.

Despite possessing unparalleled advantages, he was utterly crushed by Zhong Wuyai.

No… everything is exactly the same as before, except for the addition of Zhong Wuyai and Xianyang Palace. Although some changes have occurred, the things that were bound to happen will still happen. My development plan is fine; it just can't be compared to that guy Zhong Wuyai. …

The Fengyun Guild is recruiting. Sikong Shen will establish the guild tomorrow, and starting at level 30, guilds from Japan, the United States, and South Korea will cause trouble.

Immediately afterwards, people from other countries on Earth formed an alliance.

At level 50, guild wars will break out, and all guilds established by Chinese players will be attacked by various forces.

At that time, many demons and monsters could no longer hide, and traitors within the Chinese nation began to surface one after another...

So... I have to endure it...
