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

Song Gua charged forward, quickly entering the crowd, charging while simultaneously retrieving his clones.

In one swift motion, he recalled all the clones.

Before becoming a professional, Song Gua could only summon and recall his clones within a one-meter radius around him.

Even now, when a clone is summoned, it will still only appear within one meter of the user.

However, the area where the clone was retracted expanded to a radius of twenty meters.

It seems that with each level up, the range of the clones expands by a radius of two meters.

For the clones, this recycling ability is like teleportation.

The enormous fireball also fell at the same time, causing half of the mountain to shake, and burning branches and debris flew everywhere.

The Song hexagram was relatively close to the point of impact of the fireball and was affected, being overturned to the ground.

Half of the burning giant tree traced an arc in the air before falling towards Song Gua's head.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Song Gua summoned a clone of the Guardian Sequence to act as a meat shield for himself.

"Ouch! My butt is burning hot!"

"Guardian Sequence, Rank A, Storm Knight, young man, I have high hopes for you. From now on, your upgrade priority is only after Fire Warrior and Rhythm Mage."

"Damn it! Stop making empty promises!"

Song Gua released another clone.

However, this time only a few dozen main players were released.

The terrain in this area is narrow, and too many people would only create chaos.

They could easily be wiped out by that white-furred old monkey standing on the big rock right now.

【White-haired Elder】

[Level: Lv10]

[Position: Leader]

【Strength: 50】

[Physical Fitness: 120]

【Spirit: 180】

[Agility: 20]

[Skills: White-haired Imprisonment (Common, Lv5), Elder's Blessing (Excellent, Lv5), Heavenly Punishment Fire (Flawless, Lv5)]

[Description: They all said this elder of Monkey Mountain only knew how to throw one fireball, but who would have thought it was this big?]

Boss monsters, compared to regular monsters, enhanced monsters, and elite monsters, not only have higher stats, but also often have more powerful skills.

For example, that huge fireball just now.

"Elder White Hair's Heavenly Punishment Fire has a long cooldown, don't be afraid, go and brute force him!"

This mechanism is common in dungeons.

A novice was hiding in a corner chanting the intro to a skill, waiting for the professional to arrive before throwing him out to troll them.

If we get tricked, the losses will be huge.

Level 5 dungeons are so well-run by professional players that they're practically worn out. Anyone who's read a guide wouldn't fall into such an obvious trap.

The solution is simple: assign someone with high agility to use a speed-boosting skill like sprint.

Then circle around this area, lure out the White-Haired Elder, and slip away once you see the fireball taking shape.

The reason there was some chaos just now was because the clones were indeed too disorganized.

They were all scrambling to fight monsters, and they just couldn't stop.

"Protect the elders! Protect the elders!"

Suddenly, many large monkeys with bright red eyes, strong bodies, and black fur appeared all around.

Red-eyed monkey

[Level: Lv10]

[Positioning: Elite]

【Strength: 90】

[Physical Fitness: 100]

【Spirit: 40】

[Agility: 40]

[Skills: Skin Hardening (Common, Lv5), Shared Destiny (Excellent, Lv5)]

[Description: Elder Monkey Mountain's bodyguard, with thick skin and tough flesh.]

The number of monsters in the dungeon is designed for five players.

In the Hell dungeon, the number will increase, but it will still be far less than Song Gua's clones.

At this moment, ten red-eyed monkeys were guarding Elder White Hair.

The old, decrepit white monkey was muttering incantations again.

We can't let him unleash another heavenly calamity.

Dozens of clones rushed forward, each with a clear division of labor.

Groups of four went up, ten groups in total, and carried away the ten red-eyed monkeys.

Aren't you supposed to be tough and resilient, with one skill enhancing damage reduction and another skill allowing you to share damage taken by others?

Song Gua had his clones carry this troublesome thing away and take it to another place for a beating.

The poor white-haired elder chanted incantations and sang songs. When he opened his eyes, he saw more than a dozen professional assassins standing in front of him.

"Kidney strike!"

"Backstab!"

"Headshot!"

"A strike that breaks through stealth!"

"The blade is drawn!"

"..."

The defining characteristic of the Assassin sequence is its concentrated damage, capable of killing with a single blow.

With this round of skills unleashed, Elder White Hair could only meet his demise in defeat.

[You have killed the Lv10 White-Haired Elder!]

[Experience gained, 65% -> 70%!]

You have obtained [Excellent Equipment: Tough Monkey Mountain Leather Hat]*1!

[You have obtained [Excellent Skill Book: First Job Mage Skill Book]*1!]

You have obtained [Consumable: Enhancement Stone]*1!

You have obtained [Fine Material: Magic White Fur]*10!

You have obtained [Fine Material: Aged Monkey Brain]*1!

It was a boss-level monster after all; it dropped even more loot after being killed.

Song Gua simply had his logistics-affiliated clones pick up materials like Magic White Hair and Aged Monkey Brain.

Since entering the dungeon, the logistics-type clone has been like it's back home.

Dungeon monsters will drop some materials to some extent.

Common animal bones, fur, and hides were readily available.

Logistics-related professions require a lot of materials to make the tools for their profession, so they always follow behind and pick up trash, cleaning it up very thoroughly.

If a normal team were to run a dungeon, no one would pick up these common materials that are sold by weight; they take up too much backpack space. It would be better to pick up some equipment and sell it.

Enhancement stones are essential materials for enhancing equipment, and the demand for them will be extremely high later on.

In the early stages, no one upgrades these transitional equipment—unless they have the money.

Most professionals save up enhancement stones until they are not strong enough to use them.

For example, during the second job advancement challenge.

One headgear is enough; whichever main force doesn't have it, they can just go and pick it up. Song Gua doesn't need to worry about it.

"I can't use the mage's excellent skill book. Should I sell it, or give it to my clone?"

A high-quality skill book is very valuable.

Depending on the profession, the market price ranges from ten thousand to one hundred thousand.

It's normal for the price to fluctuate a lot; some professions are popular, while others are less so.

Skill books are also needed when upgrading skills, and skill books for popular professions are even scarcer.

The mage class is undoubtedly a very popular class, and Song Gua estimates that this will be a skill book worth nearly 100,000.

Therefore, professionals earn money faster, and can earn six figures in no time.

However, that's only because Song Gua was soloing a Hell difficulty dungeon, which allowed him to get such drops without having to share the loot with others.

His fellow graduates from the same cohort could not possibly achieve this level of earning efficiency.

The Rhythm Mage's clone poked its head out from the side and said obsequiously.

"Hehe, boss, let me use it. I already have four skills, if I learn another one, my attack frequency will be a bit faster, right?"
