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

Once a pet hatches, it recognizes its owner. Although it can be changed, these clones still want to use a better one from the start, since experience points are allocated to the pet egg during hatching.

Song Gua sternly refused.

"Dream on! If you want a high-quality pet egg, perform better in the next operation, and it will naturally be given out at the awards ceremony!"

It's time to leave the eighteenth level of hell.

Song Gua put away all his clones except for one that was wearing a hood.

"No way, you old scoundrel..."

Song Gua patted him on the shoulder.

"From today onwards, you are the chief one-bamboo player!"

The chief player was on the verge of tears.

"So I'll just stay here and not leave?"

"For the greatness of the organization!"

Starting tomorrow, the production line for new clones will become:

Call him boss.

Job change.

Touch the balance scale.

Come to the eighteenth level of hell for the second time.

So someone needs to stay here.

In this way, as long as Song Gua is swapped out and the level 30 clone is released, a bug can be exploited, making the game system mistakenly believe that the new clone has cleared level 18.

Chief Yi Tong voluntarily and enthusiastically took on this ordinary yet great task.

Watching Song Gua's departing figure, Chief Yi Tong raised the gesture of human civilization.

"You old scoundrel! Am I pretty?!"

"Very good, very energetic!"

Song Gua passed through the portal and appeared next to the challenge monument outside.

As soon as Song Gua appeared, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.

"amazing!"

"A nineteen-year-old second-tier professional—a prodigy, a true prodigy!"

"His combat power is unimaginable; he's practically invincible below the third level of cultivation, isn't he?"

"Who says that in the world of professionals, children from humble backgrounds can't achieve greatness? Song Gua proved it right!"

A group of onlookers, all professionals, were moved to tears, as if they themselves had conquered the eighteenth level of hell.

Those few underachieving students from Jiangnan University also came out.

He just died and came out.

They still hadn't reached the sixth floor.

The professor at Jiangda University was disappointed in him.

Look at them, and then look at you!

Your equipment isn't bad either; it's all borrowed from the school. It's high-level gear. What are you missing in terms of enhancements and gems? How come you can't even reach the level for a normal job change!

I'm telling you, it's not that your fighting strength is inferior to Song Gua's, it's that your willpower is too weak. You couldn't even withstand the little pain test from the iron tree, what good are you!

The underachieving students felt ashamed of themselves, and compared to Song Gua, they felt even more insignificant, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Song Gua left the area around the Eighteen Levels of Hell almost entirely surrounded by onlookers.

Many people follow him, not entirely for worship or star-chasing purposes; they have more practical goals.

"Song Gua! Song Gua! Can you reveal the secret to beating this game? I'm willing to pay a high price!"

"Brother Song! Brother! Look at me! I graduated from university two years ago! I still can't advance to the second job change! I wasted my time at university, I'll never level up, I can't continue with this combat class! Please help me!"

"Please, please teach me! I'll do anything you want! I'll even call you godfather!"

"Damn it! Don't you guys have any dignity? You're shameless enough to do this for the sake of the strategy! How difficult is it for my grandfather to do this?"

The second job advancement for logistics and life skills majors is not part of the combat major's system; their challenge is not to brave the eighteen levels of hell.

Those who are trying to outmaneuver Song Gua are all combat-oriented professionals.

A group of people were making a lot of noise, even more so than the demons themselves.

Fortunately, Xu Kai had come prepared and parked a car nearby.

After the three got into the car, they were finally able to get away from those professionals.

However, some still followed.

Those with the talent or skill to run will simply follow the car, knock on the window, and act like they're asking, "Hey bro, wanna buy a cheat?"

"I'm sorry, none of my strategy guides are for sale. Give up."

The other party didn't give up, clinging to the car window and continuing to plead shamelessly.

It's clear that being unable to advance to the second job change and stuck at level 30 is causing a lot of pain for many combat-type players.

In the entire professional community, a "first-tier professional" is basically equivalent to a "newbie".

Second-tier professionals are the backbone of the team.

With ten times the strength of the entangled individuals, Song Gua easily pried their hands off the car window.

"Phew, it's quiet now."

Xu Kai laughed heartily, "That's how big stars are."

It really is.

In my past life, outside the car windows of those popular celebrities, there were layers upon layers of fans.

Outside Song Gua's car window, there were layers upon layers of ambitious level 30 professionals.

Yuwen Hao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Song Gua knew that he came from a humble background and his professional level was not high, so the second job advancement would be a challenge for him.

If you can't transfer to a second university, your university education will be wasted because you won't get a graduation certificate.

"Old Song, um...

Song Gua chuckled, "The secret to the second-stage challenge?"

"I know, even brothers need to keep clear accounts. You have to tell me, and I'll definitely pay you back when I have the money!"

Song Gua patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you talking about? Why are you being so polite with me? Let Xu Kai pay for you."

Xu Kai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, almost fell out of the car.

Xu Kai said seriously, "If you're willing to tell me, I'm actually willing to pay."

"It's actually very simple, you just need to be unafraid of pain."

The two of them took out small notebooks and looked very serious.

"Aren't you afraid of the pain?"

"Yes, half of the challenges there are tortures. As long as you can endure them, you'll naturally get through it."

Even if you accidentally die, you'll be resurrected outside, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Furthermore, we professionals are still human beings, and we still have pain receptors.

In battle, if we are injured, the pain will affect our combat effectiveness.

It's like someone with a combat power of 1000, but if their arm is broken, they might not even be able to exert 100.

Therefore, as long as you're not afraid of pain, you can gain a tremendous advantage in battle!

The two looked serious, as if deep in thought.

Song Gua felt as if something was emerging from the back of his head.

Non-Gang +1, Non-Gang +1, Non-Gang +1...

Actually, the Song hexagram isn't entirely a hoax; there's some truth to it.

However, when he takes on the challenge, it's his clone that's unafraid of pain.

This little secret was something he summarized while observing his clones challenging the eighteen levels of hell.

Not all levels are cleared by sheer numbers; the eccentric, nonchalant attitude of the clones, who don't see themselves as human, is also quite important.

"But everyone is afraid of pain, so how can one become unafraid of pain?"

"Just practice more often."

"Self-harm?"

"Don't put it so harshly, it's called training! If it really doesn't work, we can bring some local anesthesia."

"Anesthetic is acceptable!"

Non-Gang +1, Non-Gang +1, Non-Gang +1...

After leaving the eighteenth level of hell, the trio went to Jiangnan City to continue having fun.

It wasn't until the afternoon of June 4th that Song Gua finally took a plane and returned to Yunshan City overnight.

The night before the college entrance examination.

Many people will adjust their mindset and get a good night's sleep.

Only Song Gua, along with his troublesome clones, stayed up all night.

"I doubt I can find the college entrance exam questions online."

"Then we can only bring back some top students and have them solve the problems on the spot."

"But if we do this and it gets exposed, everyone's grades will be canceled, and we'll have to retake the exam, right?"

"Probably not. Many officials here are incompetent and unlikely to take it seriously."

"Idiot! Don't send the top student back before the acceptance letter arrives! Find a place for them to eat and drink well!"

"Serve me my ass! We bandits aren't exactly saints. What's wrong with doing a few bad things?"
