It seems Wu Sheng didn't come in?

Wei Ning glanced back and saw that half of the mist behind him had already dissipated.

This indicates that the fog gate entrance is closed.

Wei Ning certainly wouldn't believe it was a coincidence.

It was most likely Wang Haoren's arrangement again.

I was indeed too weak.

He has no family background or powerful connections, and he didn't attend any good schools.

In the Great Yue Kingdom, students from such poor backgrounds were at the mercy of others and could be manipulated at will.

The only way to survive is to upgrade and become stronger.

Either break free of the world or die in the fog.

That's really exciting.

Wei Ning became excited and strode forward, entering the depths of the mist.

As we passed through the fog, the scenery before our eyes changed instantly.

The dark clouds turned into a clear sky, and the concrete ground turned into a golden grassland.

Golden waves of grass are dotted with clusters of red mushrooms, and in the distance, a stream flows, its clear water sparkling.

This is the foggy area.

Wei Ning took a deep breath and opened his vision to the distance.

The view zooms out, the map unfolds, and the outlines of threats appear one by one on the golden grassland:

[Lv.1 Grass Worm]

[Lv.2 Mushroom Worm]

【Lv.1 Trap Grass】

[Lv.2 Mushroom Worm - Poison]

……

The seemingly peaceful grassland hides many wild monsters.

The closest distance to Wei Ning was only three to five meters.

If it were an ordinary newbie, they might have already attracted monsters.

However, by using his field of vision to get a general overview, Wei Ning quickly determined the activity range of the surrounding monsters.

As long as he stays within two meters of the entrance, he will not be attacked by monsters.

Wei Ning sat down cross-legged and used the skill [Rest].

This is a common skill for all Awakened classes.

It can restore mana, energy, and health when out of combat.

The advantage is that it doesn't cost any money and is purely self-healing.

The downside is that the recovery speed is very slow, with an average recovery rate of only about 1% of a single value per second.

Although the speed was slow, it was enough for Wei Ning.

He continued to broaden his perspective, expanding the edges of the map to both sides.

As the thick fog dissipated, the terrain on both sides of the map quickly changed, with a forest appearing on the left edge and a stone cave tunnel on the right edge.

At the same time, more target outlines emerge.

【Lv.19 Kang Yong - Warrior】

【Lv.1 Hu Xiaoman - Warrior】

【Lv.1 Li Xuan - All-Around Knight】

【Lv.1 Liu Lu - Priest】

……

【Lv.19 Fang Youhua - Warrior】

【Lv.1 Liu Chang - Hunter】

【Lv.1 Yan Yuebin - Mage】

……

These are the queues at entrances 2 and 4, located in the forest terrain and the stone cave tunnel terrain, respectively.

The team leaders of these two teams are much more normal.

Although they didn't actually fight monsters themselves, they at least guided newcomers on how to explore and fight.

Wei Ning couldn't hear any sounds; he could only see the outlines of figures moving around.

On the left, Hu Xiaoman and Li Xuan teamed up, one wielding a knife and the other a hammer, to gang up on a wolf, while Liu Lu and another classmate provided remote support from behind.

Wei Ning noticed something.

That means he can see more than just silhouettes and information about people.

He can also see the health and energy bars of each target.

Health points, mana points, energy resources... can all be displayed on his panel.

Ranged classes can even see the remaining ammunition on their teammates' equipment.

Wei Ning remembers clearly that whether it was senior students, teachers, or textbooks, they all said that the world rules restricted players from seeing the various stats of monsters unless they used specific detection skills; the only things they could see were the level and quality information.

Wei Ning's vision of "a thousand miles away" goes far beyond this.

It's as if he always has all-around detection capabilities activated.

This is so convenient.

Wei Ning's gaze was fixed on the outline of the Timberwolves on the map. He raised his right hand and made a grasping motion with his five fingers, casting the level 1 offensive skill of the [Curse Warlock], [Suffocation Grip].

This is a channeling skill that deals damage every second during the channeling process, but it also consumes mana every second.

Wei Ning's right hand glowed with a dark green flame, indicating that the skill had been successfully channeled.

Panel information display:

Release [Suffocating Grip] to deal 3 Shadow damage to [Timber Wolf].

After dealing damage once, Wei Ning immediately stopped.

He consumed 5 of his 100 mana points.

One, two...

Wei Ning silently counted to three seconds, and his 100 magic points were fully restored.

This indicates that his [Rest] skill is active and has not been interrupted by his ranged combat.

He can fight monsters remotely while maintaining the regeneration per second from "Rest".

However, by the time he recovered, Hu Xiaoman and the others were still fighting.

Instead of calculating his experience, Wei Ning turned his attention to the No. 4 stone tunnel on the right.

Liu Chang from team number 4 accidentally attracted two cave slimes, and the team is in a panic to fight them.

Wei Ning stared at the slime's outline, his right hand once again making a grasping motion in the air:

Release [Suffocating Grip] to deal 3 Shadow damage to [Cave Slime].

Release [Suffocating Grip] to deal 1 Shadow damage to [Cave Slime].

The second slime is level 2, and its defense is significantly higher.

At this point, Hu Xiaoman's team on the left finished their battle, and Wei Ning gained 19 experience points.

This is how you share in the experience gained from defeating monsters.

Wei Ning estimated that this percentage would be much higher than the formula in the book.

According to the book, he only contributed 3 points of damage.

In the end, the experience points might only be 5, and at most no more than 10.

But he immediately got 19 points.

What's going on?

Wei Ning went back and calculated it again.

Then he realized he had miscalculated.

The correct result should be 8 experience points.

Wei Ning is indeed not good at math.

But this doesn't explain the reality of having 19 experience points.

In short, his experience from casually encountering monsters is much higher than the theoretical value in textbooks.

Hu Xiaoman and her team should each get more than 60 experience points from killing monsters.

They had more points than Wei Ning (19 points), but the cost of killing monsters was also higher.

Wei Ning's ranged [Suffocation Grip] is almost a perpetual motion machine.

Hu Xiaoman and her group would rest for two or three minutes after each battle against more than three level 1 monsters.

If Wei Ning only gains experience from one team, his speed will be roughly the same as, or perhaps even slower than, that of an individual player on that team.

However, if Wei Ning gains experience from two teams, his speed will be twice that of an ordinary player.

What if you could gain experience from 10 squads at once?

Then it would have to take off!

Wei Ning raised his field of vision higher, quickly expanding his view to the edge of the map.

The fog gradually dissipated, revealing the undulating terrain.

glowing caves, underground water veins, rock mazes, mechanical ruins...

Including entrance number 3 where he was located, all 11 entrances were displayed.

The figures of all the squads have also basically come into view.

When Wei Ning's gaze swept across, he could see all the target information.

Wei Ning tried to raise the angle a little higher.

The silhouettes of people on the map began to disappear.

It seems that the area that can be monitored at the same time is only this large.

Wei Ning's vision is like a stage light, which can illuminate a great distance, but at the same time, the area it can illuminate has a limit.

To quickly switch between multiple objectives, a holistic view is now the most efficient approach.

So Wei Ning adjusted the coverage area and kept moving his gaze around.

He had a clear view of the battle between the ten squads around him.

Raise your right hand again and continuously unleash skills:

Release [Suffocating Grip] to deal 6 Shadow damage to [Glowing Butterfly].

Release [Suffocating Grip] to deal 3 Shadow damage to [Murloc Minions].

Release [Suffocating Grip] to deal 2 Shadow damage to [Stumbling Block] - Critical Strike.

……

The panel also continuously updates experience information:

Gain 19 experience points

Gain 18 experience points

Gain 33 experience points

Gain 32 experience points

Gain 19 experience points

……

More than an hour has passed.

Wei Ning raised his arm until his trapezius muscles ached.

I reckon he's going to build muscle.

It's worth the pain.

At this point, his experience bar was already full, exceeding 200%.

This value once again breaks the theoretical limitations set in books.

In class, it was explained that once an Awakened One has accumulated enough experience points, they can choose not to level up immediately. However, the experience bar can only be filled to a maximum of two levels, which is 200%.

After that, you will no longer be able to gain experience.

However, Wei Ning's experience bar had already transitioned from a green layer to a blue layer, and now to a yellow layer, with the value exceeding 200% to 226% and still increasing.

Wei Ning thought he could try to find the limit of the experience bar in the future.

But now he has chosen to upgrade.

With a hum, a burst of white light appeared on his body.

Panel notification:

Leveled up! Become a [Lv2. Curse Warlock]

Gain 10 fixed attribute points

Gain 5 free attribute points

Learn the profession skill [Curse of Pain].

Leveled up! Become a [Lv3. Curse Warlock]

Gain 10 fixed attribute points

Gain 5 free attribute points

Learn the profession skill [Curse Arrow]

I've finally reached level 3.

Wei Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't particularly concerned about the two new professional skills.

The key point is that after level 3, you can learn a general damage skill related to distance judgment called "Mirror-Breaking Arrow".

This skill is not rare; it frequently drops in the level 1-9 area.

The learning threshold is Lv.3, and it is limited to magic-based professions.

Skill books are tradable and can be obtained through loot packs or the auction house.

Wei Ning collected over a hundred loot packs by defeating monsters.

He decided to try his luck and see if he could draw the [Mirror-Breaking Arrow] himself.

open!

Wei Ning quickly opened each loot pack on the control panel...
