"Level 1 gives 20 attribute points. After leveling up 5 times, my attributes will double."

The attribute doubling means that every aspect of Song Gua's body will be doubled.

The force of a punch, the speed of running, the reaction to an emergency, and so on.

Even sensory abilities, but not to the point of doubling, because sensory abilities are a physical quality that is very difficult to improve.

At this moment, Song Gua felt that his ears and eyes were sharp and his body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

"The upgrade is so fast, I'm already a little unaccustomed to my body."

The clones, still toiling away grinding monsters, all cast disdainful glances their way.

"Since you're in the mood for Versailles, why don't you come over and help out with the fighting?"

"After working all afternoon, my back and waist are killing me..."

"Isn't there a guy in the logistics department who's an Oracle Bone Alchemist? He should be able to make potions that quickly relieve fatigue, right? Give me one."

"I have no materials, so I'll just make a jack."

Wild monsters don't drop any materials, and even their corpses disappear shortly after they die.

As the main force within the clones gradually leveled up to level 3 and level 4.

There aren't enough monsters in the Swamp of Sorrows.

As the main force's strength increased, the fighting groups formed by the clones decreased from ten people to five, or even two or three.

The more groups you have, the more monsters you can kill at the same time.

The monster respawn rate in this area has finally dropped.

"Let's take a break and wait for the next wave of monsters to spawn."

It was already dark by then.

Song Gua took out food from the package and began to enjoy his dinner.

The clones also sat down on the ground and ate in small groups.

The clones also have backpack abilities, so each of them has 10 slots to store things.

Originally, clones don't need to eat.

When they overlap the main body, the body is in a stable state. Although they can communicate, they do not actually consume energy.

But when they come out to fight, work, and get tired, they still need to replenish water and food just like normal people.

"Report! Boss! Someone's here!"

The dozen or so poor guys in the logistics department had nothing to do, so they simply kept watch in the distance.

If there's any commotion nearby, they don't need to run over to relay the message; they can simply speak, and it will be broadcast throughout the Songgua area network so everyone can hear it.

"Wear a hood."

The clones, who were eating, chatting, and engaging in homoerotic activities, all pulled down their hoods in unison.

The sight of those eight of bamboo, six of characters, five of sticks, and so on, late at night, was quite frightening.

"Boss, these are acquaintances. One is Zhao Can, and the other is Hua Xiangrong! They're accompanied by six level 10+ guys, probably training partners hired by Zhao Can."

Song Gua smiled.

Only six.

I have two hundred trainers!

The Zhao family is one of the four major families in Yunshan City, a true local power.

The local power structure is complex and intertwined, with a wide network of businesses. The family has many high-level professionals and controls some of the major guilds in Yunshan City.

Zhao Can is one of the sons of the Zhao family patriarch.

In fact, Zhao Can was a member of a powerful family that Ma Feng had climbed up to.

Three months ago, Ma Feng was able to escape unscathed from the fight thanks to Zhao Can's guarantee.

As for Hua Xiangrong?

Song Gua searched through the original owner's memories.

We finally found this person in the corner.

One of the many girls who confessed their feelings to the original owner of this body.

She seems to be the school beauty from No. 5 Middle School.

Although the clones were all wearing hoods, Song Gua still put away all of them except for the ones that were on guard duty on the outside.

In case someone comes along and tries to pull off the hood.

His ability to create clones must not be revealed; it is his biggest trump card in this world.

After dispelling the surrounding clones, Song Gua heard footsteps and voices approaching.

"There are so many mosquitoes here!"

"This is what it's like near the swamp, just bear with it."

"Let's find another place to level up. Why come here?"

"After a day of this, the monsters in several level 5 leveling areas are all on edge, except for the Swamp of Sorrows, where not many people come. Didn't you want to level up all night? This is the perfect place."

As Hua Xiangrong walked, she swatted at the relentless army of mosquitoes.

Zhao Can half-embraced her as they walked among the trainers.

"We've arrived."

"Young Master Can, the Swamp of Sorrows is just ahead. The monsters there are probably fully equipped, and I doubt anyone will come to fight them all day."

It was too dark, and Zhao Can glanced towards the swamp, but there seemed to be no movement at all.

"Is there a monster here?"

Among the professionals training Zhao Can, there was a Dazzling Light Mage who cast a Flash spell towards the sky above the swamp.

"Bang!"

The skill orb exploded in mid-air, like fireworks, releasing colorful light that illuminated most of the swamp.

A scene that left everyone speechless unfolded.

There isn't a single monster!

It was empty and eerily quiet!

"this……"

"That's impossible, nobody ever comes here."

"Look, there's someone warming themselves by a fire on the shore."

Zhao Can frowned slightly. "Did he kill all the level 5 monsters in the Swamp of Sorrows?"

Hua Xiangrong stared intently and felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.

"It seems so..."

The group had walked so far despite the mosquito attacks, and they were extremely unwilling to give up.

He immediately went to Song Gua, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

Upon closer inspection, Hua Xiangrong could see clearly by the faint light of the fire.

"Song Gua? It really is you. What are you doing here?"

Song Gua poked at the fire with a wooden stick while munching on a fast-food chicken leg.

"Come level up, otherwise what are you doing here, basking in the moonlight?"

"You're leveling up alone in a level 5 area? Don't be ridiculous."

Zhao Can, being more perceptive, investigated the information about the Song divination.

Because Song Gua concealed personal information, Zhao Can could only see the level.

"Level 5? He's at level 5!"

The beauty of flowers faded.

"Impossible! We've been working all day and only reached level three, which is already considered fast. How could he...?"

Hua Xiangrong investigated and found that Song Gua was indeed a level five.

She was stunned.

How did you do that?

"Song Gua has training instructors? He's an orphan relying on the school's stipend for living expenses, how could he afford that? And he leveled up five levels in a day, how many instructors would he need to hire? Even the Zhao family doesn't play like that!"
