The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Upon hearing Song Gua's words, the group of clones began to curse loudly.

"Summon all the remaining monsters in the city?! Do you think we're gods?!"

"Damn it! You old scoundrel! You've screwed us over! Didn't you know there were three more world bosses?! You're trying to kill us!"

"This job is impossible to do!"

"Cannon fodder number one! Prepare to detonate!"

"Damn it, even if you blew us all up, you still couldn't kill this many monsters!"

"They're trying to exhaust Ghost Bro like a dog."

Ghost Brother hasn't slept for a day and a night; his dark circles are so heavy, he really looks like a ghost.

"Hey, you old thief, are you serious? You really summoned all the remaining monsters in the city?"

Song Gua remained calm and summoned the Seven Star Array Master.

"Don't panic. When I have the World Boss talent, I can sense the number of remaining monsters. It's not too exaggerated."

"As long as we set up the formation in advance and lure most of the monsters into it to be wiped out, we can easily obtain a large amount of resources!"

Huozi said excitedly.

"This is a huge win. If it succeeds, we won't have to worry about resources before our second job advancement."

Blood Brother scratched his head.

"There's a problem: there are too many resources. Even if all our backpacks are full, we won't be able to fit them all, right? Should we requisition some trucks to haul them away?"

Song Gua brought out the core of the gathering.

"Idiot! What are you pretending for with those high-quality blue-and-white stuff? Throw them all into this thing and melt them down into upgrade experience!"

Upon seeing the core of the gathering, the clones' eyes widened.

"Holy crap! When it comes to making the most of resources, you old rascal, you're the one!"

"No wonder he's the man who uses his handsome, intelligent, and brave clones as mounts!"

"How many levels can this core unit level up? I can't even imagine!"

"The higher the level of this thing, the more experience it requires—an explosive boost! But with all these resources and the monsters that are coming, it's enough to level up quite a bit!"

"Does this mean that we can all bind to the rallying core?"

"Hahaha! Awesome! Awesome!!"

Song Gua coughed and reached out to pat his throat.

"Don't get excited. You know, there are three more world bosses on their way. What do world bosses always drop?"

The clones fell into an excited silence, then shouted wildly.

"Assemble the core!"

Hi!

Some people stand upside down and spit.

Some people banged their heads on the ground.

Some people were grabbing other people's heads and kissing their hoods.

The Seven Star Array Master, who was carving an array diagram with a pen knife, looked at these lunatics and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

"I'm telling you, stop popping champagne halfway through! If you guys don't come and lend a hand, how will we have any formations to fight off those monsters when they arrive?"

The clones then calmed down.

"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and set up the formation, hurry up and set up the formation, how do you draw it? I'll help draw one too."

"You are not a professional in the formation sequence. What you draw is just graffiti and will not become a formation."

"So, that Bing Shen from before was a profession related to formations?"

"A professional specializing in formation techniques can actually become a world-class thief? That's impressive!"

In order to provide materials for the Seven Star Array Master to set up the array, Song Gua swapped locations with his clone in the city and went to Lingyuan to buy some materials.

Song Gua paid for the materials on the first trip.

We are now preparing to set up seven arrays of a thousand swords, which require expensive and large quantities of materials.

High-quality formations, in particular, have high requirements for the quality and quantity of energy crystals.

They simply seized the materials trading market from the Tianzhao Guild.

Anyway, we've offended the Tianzhao Guild more than once or twice, so one more time won't make a difference.

Under normal circumstances, with an expert watching over things, Song Gua's zero-yuan purchase would not succeed.

Now, all the experts have been forcibly conscripted to the front lines, leaving only some pretty cashiers and sales assistants to look good in the market.

Song Gua didn't include them in the free purchase program; that's incredibly kind of them.

……

Yunshan No.5 Middle School.

Because No. 5 Middle School is the closest of all the high schools in the city to the South Gate.

Thorne's powerful attack created a breach in the defenses, allowing many monsters to enter the city.

They are already racing through the bustling city center.

A group of monsters passed by the vicinity of No. 5 Middle School.

Because there was a temporary base formed by a group of student professionals at the school.

According to the city's crisis policy, these professional outposts are obligated to lure nearby monsters away to prevent them from harming civilians who are unable to fight.

This put students who generally did not reach level 15 in a tough battle.

The teachers in the Life Skills Department also had no choice but to take up arms and fight back.

Fortunately, the prepared formations and defensive towers delayed and hindered many monsters.

But at this moment, most of the students on the Fifth Middle School playground were already huddled together back to back.

The outer perimeter is filled with hundreds and thousands of monsters of all kinds.

With red eyes and bared teeth, they braved the bombardment of low-quality, low-level defensive towers and stepped on equally rubbish formations, advancing step by step.

"Wait, wait, wait! We've won! Why are there still so many monsters?!"

"They were the ones who broke into the city before. Even though the world boss is gone, they won't return to the wild; they'll continue their rampage!"

"Oh my god! These defensive towers and formations don't seem to be able to hold us off at all. We're going to be overwhelmed by monsters!"

"Help! Is there anyone who can help me?!"

"An expert? Doesn't our school... have an expert?!"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

All eyes turned to Song Gua.

This Song Gua is not the original entity.

He was just an ordinary clone.

Since he hadn't participated in any fighting outside, his backpack was practically empty at the moment.

The stand-in, Song Gua, panicked.

Why are you all staring at me?

Yuwen Hao laughed heartily.

"Old Song! You're here again! Quick! Just like last time in the illusion, change your clothes and start the killing spree!"

The substitute, Song Gua, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Yuwen Hao, are you out of your mind? Do you think I'm some kind of pretty girl who can become awesome just by changing clothes?

That person in the illusion was a completely different person!

The students urged them on.

"Song Gua, what time is it? Still hiding your skills? Show us your solo dungeon-clearing abilities!"

"You can break records solo, what are these monsters compared to this? It's a matter of life and death!"

"The experts in the city are definitely still dealing with the monsters on the front lines, they won't be able to save us in time. We have to save ourselves, it's up to you, Boss Song!"

"Boss! Hurry up and make a move! We're all counting on you!"

"You are the hope of the whole school!"

The substitute Song Gua's lips didn't move, but he made muffled noises, frantically pleading for help from the original.

"Quickly switch places with me! They want me to fight thousands of monsters alone! If you don't come soon, I'll have to self-destruct to save the day!"

At this moment, Song Gua is in a one-minute world boss state, threatening the powerful figures in Yunshan City.

Despite receiving a plea for help from the stand-in, he was unable to get there in time.

"Damn old thief, you just stood by and watched me die... I had no choice but to sacrifice myself for your sake! You'd better think about how you're going to explain this later!"

The double, Song Gua, bravely faced death, resolutely heading towards the monster horde.

The entire school community and students are watching closely.

The expressions on everyone's faces were varied.

Some admired him, some had expectations, and some placed high hopes on him.

The imposter Song Gua stood at the edge of the formation and shouted, "Retreat—"

In an instant.

As if possessed, all the monsters stopped attacking and turned to run towards the outskirts of the city.

This is the order that Song Gua issued before the world boss's power disappeared, and it has now taken effect.

With a roar from Song Gua, all the monsters retreated!

The entire school was stunned!

“Eh…”

Actually, what the stand-in Song Gua wanted to say was, "Step back, I'm about to self-destruct."
