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

Lake of Netherfire, another level 15 dungeon.

This is a copy of a lake landscape.

Players must fight a series of underwater evil spirits and monsters, such as water monkeys, water ghosts, and water monsters, around the lake shore and shallow water areas.

Then, stepping over the reefs and wading through waist-deep water, they arrived at the island in the lake to fight the BOSS.

This process is not only slow, but monsters also frequently emerge from the water, requiring professionals to fight them in the water.

For those who aren't professionals specializing in naval warfare, this process can be quite arduous.

The difficulty of the monsters in this level is just so-so.

The terrain is just difficult to navigate.

The teams on the leaderboard all rely on powerful guilds or clans behind them, which provide them with valuable equipment or items that enable flight.

They flew directly to the island in the middle of the lake, saving themselves the difficult process of wading through water.

But today, the monsters of the Lake of Netherfire are about to witness another way to arrive on the island.

"Fill in the reefs!"

Doppelganger, codenamed West Wind, nicknamed Ghost Brother.

Class: S-rank Summoning Sequence, Netherworld Ghost General.

To clear a dungeon, you must clear out all the monsters.

After circling the lake.

Song Gua specifically instructed all his clones to leave their heads to the west wind.

Using his professional talent, Xifeng turned all the monsters in the entire dungeon into his undead summons.

At this moment, after the west wind gave the order.

The undead creature, its body tattered and covered in unidentified green and black liquid, and walking in a crooked, zombie-like manner, suddenly sank into the water with a "splash".

They all lay on the reef, creating a path directly on the water.

Song Gua led his clones, treading on undead summons, and raced towards the island in the center of the lake, splashing water all the way.

Along the way, monsters surged up from the water and attacked.

Song Gua and the others didn't even need to focus on dealing with these monsters.

Because the "ground" beneath their feet can attack.

With so many units, each with a basic attack, they were able to wipe out the monsters that pounced on them instantly.

Of course, the distance from the shore to the center of the lake is quite far.

This man-made bridge was built in several phases.

After the main force passed, West Wind commanded the summoned creatures behind it to travel underwater and rush forward.

Don't be fooled by their wobbly walk on land; they move incredibly fast in water.

After all, it's a monster from this instance, so of course it's adept at swimming.

The clones were quite amused as they stood atop a host of undead summons.

"This is hilarious! Who runs this dungeon like this?"

"West Wind! Tell your henchmen to hold on tight, I almost fell!"

"Damn! I can't possibly manage so many things by myself; most of it is done automatically by AI! I need to be more careful!"

"Westwind had a blast in this dungeon; he basically got all the experience."

"This guy is already level 20, even higher than the original thief."

"Being good at a class is awesome. When will I get an S-rank job advancement medal to enjoy?"

"You should be grateful you weren't assigned to the suicide squad."

"That's true."

The clones chatted casually as they easily dealt with all the remaining monsters.

The boss battles are not worth mentioning.

The Song hexagram and its clones were already numerous, making the BOSS question his existence.

As a result, Brother Ghost still had thousands of summoned creatures under his command.

If the boss could speak, he would definitely say: "You fucking bully people!"

Summoned units are temporary and will disappear after the summoning period ends.

Ghost Brother cannot be taken out of the dungeon.

The rewards for the boss and the treasure chests in this instance are not much different from those before.

It's still about equipment, skill books, consumables, materials, and the like.

Consume all the spirit dew, and distribute the equipment, skill books, and materials according to the cultivation priority of the clones.

Song Gua discovered that there was a skill book that he could use.

"A first-tier commander-exclusive skill book! And it's flawless quality!"

After running so many dungeons, I finally have a skill book that I can use.

Exclusive skill books are rarer than ordinary sequence skill books, and they are much more expensive on the market.

Every professional should prioritize learning skills specific to their profession, as these are the skills that best match their talents.

Generally speaking, it is also slightly stronger than the skills in this sequence.

However, upgrading exclusive skills requires exclusive skill books as materials, which significantly increases the cost of upgrading.

Considering cost-effectiveness, professionals typically choose to learn a little bit of both exclusive skills and sequence skills.

There are also people to guide you in general skills.

Simply put, it's cheap.

For Song Gua, there's no need to consider the cost-effectiveness issue.

He will definitely learn all the specialized skills.

No other reason than that it's a quick way to make money.

So many clones working for themselves.

They worked in groups of five, clearing dungeons and collecting dozens of dungeon chests a week. They then resold the contents, making quite a bit of money.

Nowadays, resources are often used by clones instead of being converted into cash.

Early-game equipment upgrades quickly, and the logistics system's clones also consume a lot of materials to train skill proficiency. There are many places to spend money, and you have to buy more even if you sell them for money.

"Let's see what skill it is."

Song Gua used this skill book and obtained a skill called "Attack and Defense Conversion".

[Offense/Defense Conversion]: Flawless, Lv1. After activating the skill, for the next minute, the sum of your physical defense and magic defense will be used as your physical attack, and your physical attack will be used as both defenses.

No wonder it's a skill exclusive to those with bonds.

This is used to compensate for the low attack power when one cannot borrow strength.

It is also useful for the Song hexagram.

Although he can borrow the power of his clones at any time, the power of unity also needs to cool down.

If you need to attack during the cooldown period, you can use this skill to hold off the attack.

If you can get the Ring of Rejuvenation, you can wear it at level 30, and the cooldown period of Unity Power will be shorter.

With the addition of "offense and defense switching", the Song hexagram has even shorter periods of low attack during continuous battles.

"This gold medal wasn't very good."

Combat type, Warrior rank, A-level, Quick-fire Blade Master.

Although it is also a unique profession.

However, he is just a rather unconventional expert in sword-type weapons.

Those skilled with knives usually have a slower attack speed because in "Cleric", the base attack stat increase from knife-type weapons is higher than that from swords, clubs, and the like.

The Quick-Knife Warrior is a warrior who is proficient with swords and has a fast attack speed.

"Sell it and get the money."

The Song hexagram indicates the need for decisive action.

This caused a group of B-level clones to wail in despair.

"I'm almost level 20, and good equipment at level 20 is ridiculously expensive. Plus, the main characters' skill levels need to be upgraded, so I have to spend money everywhere. I have to sell resources that I can sell. If this is an S-grade item, I definitely won't sell it."

In Song Gua's eyes, an A-level profession was nothing special.

He has many A-level clones.

However, in reality, those combat professionals below B-rank all want to change their profession, so it's easy to imagine what this A-rank gold medal means.

There's no worry about getting a good price.

The problem is, how can I bring it back safely?

"You, shed your disguise and leave the instance first. Be sure to be sneaky, giving the impression that 'I am carrying a great treasure.'"

Song Gua assigned a low-level clone to impersonate him as bait—actually, it shouldn't be called impersonation, as the clone and Song Gua were no different, even sharing the same memories.

Song Gua left several clones near the instance area to act as surveillance.

So he knew that there were many people waiting for him to come out.

Whether these people have ill intentions or not, only God knows.

We should be more cautious, of course.
