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

They saw that Zhao Can and the others were still not leaving.

Song Gua held up the fast-food chicken leg in his hand and asked, "The moonlight is just right. Would you gentlemen also like to join me here for a late-night snack?"

Hua Xiangrong's expression was one of disgust as she said, "Brother Can, let's go. There are too many mosquitoes here, and besides, there are no monsters anymore."

Zhao Can brought up the map function and took a look.

"Further ahead is the level 10 leveling area."

"Go to the level 10 leveling area. Your leveling services are all wearing level 15 equipment, which is more than enough to deal with level 10 monsters."

Among Zhao Can's trainees was a bald man wearing heavy armor.

The bald man said with some difficulty, "At night, wild monsters become more active, with all their attributes increasing by 100%. These level 10 monsters are harder to fight than level 15 monsters during the day, but the rewards remain the same. It's not worth it."

Zhao Can frowned. "Then let's continue grinding level 5 monsters and head back."

Before leaving, Hua Xiangrong glanced at Song Gua, hesitated as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately did not speak.

Seeing that the group had finally left, Song Gua finally lay down in relief.

He did not let his guard down and summoned a clone.

Night Shadow Assassin, a B-rank profession in the Assassin class.

The effect of the professional talent is that when using stealth skills at night, you can ignore the time limit and remain in stealth indefinitely, unless you encounter a skill or effect that breaks stealth.

Hmm... this is a talent that makes it easy to come up with a bold idea.

But we have important business to attend to right now.

"Go and follow them, but be careful to walk quietly and don't let them spot you. If anything happens, communicate via the local network."

"Alright... Boss, if I do a good job on this, could you give me a starting position?"

Song Gua glanced at it.

This thing is still level 0.

"Okay, your professional talent is still somewhat useful."

The Night Shadow Assassin, wearing a dark octagonal hood, followed along eagerly.

Zhao Can, Hua Xiangrong, and their group returned the way they came.

During the journey, Hua Xiangrong was still wondering why Song Gua was able to advance to level five.

"That's so strange. I saw him at the entrance of No. 5 Middle School this morning, and he was still level 0, just like us. Even if he has a team to train him, he shouldn't be leveling up faster than us..."

Zhao Can said.

"Don't forget, although Song Gua's family is not well-off, your Fifth Middle School sponsored him for two years. Nobody knows exactly how much that sponsorship was."

Or perhaps other wealthy individuals have invested in him; it's also unknown.

This guy most likely didn't hire just one team of trainers, but many teams.

Hua Xiangrong's expression was seven parts shock and three parts regret. "He's that rich?"

The bald man training nearby seemed to realize something and said, "Some equipment has an experience boosting effect, right...?"

Zhao Can immediately rejected the idea, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Those are rare attributes that only appear on epic-level accessories that are dozens of levels high."

The bald man added, "But what if this accessory also has the 'carefree' attribute?"

Equipment with the "Freedom" effect will have its level reduced, making it available to lower-level players.

Zhao Can stopped in his tracks.

"If such a thing really existed, it would be priceless..."

For a rich second-generation like Zhao Can to say something is priceless, then it truly is priceless.

A tacit understanding spread among them.

The bald man volunteered, "How about I go and check it out?"

Zhao Can asked, "Together?"

"Young Master Can, didn't Hua dislike the mosquitoes in the swamp? You all wait here, I'll be right back."

The bald man clearly had ulterior motives.

Everyone has noticed it.

However, I still let him go alone.

After all, it's not something to be proud of, and going by in a large group might alert the enemy.

The bald man walked excitedly towards the swamp.

From afar, he saw the campfire still burning on the shore, and he was secretly pleased that Song Gua had not left.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the handsome Song Gua.

"Song Gua, you haven't left yet."

The bald man took out a shield and a one-handed sword from his backpack and weighed them in his hand.

Undoubtedly, his profession is in the Guardian Order, probably some kind of knight.

Song Gua glanced at the bald man and laughed, "Waiting for the monsters here to respawn."

"Did you really kill all these monsters?"

"Of course."

Are you alone?

"You're joking, I have a team."

The bald man suddenly realized that there was indeed a trainer.

I knew it! How could a newbie possibly solo a level 5 monster and kill it so many times that the monsters couldn't even keep up with the respawn rate?

"Where's your coach?"

"I'm home now. I have a 9-to-5 job here, very humane. Interested?"

Upon hearing that Song Gua's instructors had all left, the bald man's expression visibly relaxed.

"Haha, it would be great to have the chance to work together... I heard from Young Master Can that you leveled up to level five in just one afternoon, that's incredibly fast! Besides coaching, do you have any other little secrets?"

"A little trick? Like?"

"Equipment that can increase experience gain?"

"I don't have such a good thing."

"Don't hide your personal information. Take everything out of your backpack and let me see!"

The bald man's tone shifted abruptly, and his expression became slightly ferocious.

Song Gua remained calm and composed.

"What if I don't show it to you?"

"Then don't blame my sword and shield for being impolite. I didn't mean to bully a newbie, but blame yourself for refusing to listen to reason!"

Song Gua waved his hand and said in a normal voice, "That bald guy's done acting! Brothers, come out and get him!"

A rustling sound came from the surrounding grass and swamp.

The bald man sensed something was wrong. Could it be that his instructor hadn't left but was lying in ambush nearby?

How did he know he would make a surprise return?

I can't worry about that anymore.

The bald man immediately activated his skill: Knight Charge!

His movement speed increased dramatically. With his large shield on, the wind howled and afterimages blurred. In the blink of an eye, he was close to Song Gua.

A sword was placed against Song Gua's neck with one hand.

"Tell your men not to make any rash moves, or I'll finish you off with one strike! I'm level 16, equipped with level 15 gear; killing you is a piece of cake!"

Song Gua gave him a look of utter disdain.

"Brother, I'm not Song Gua, you've arrested the wrong person."

"Bullshit! Your face is so handsome, I'll never forget it!"

"Aren't you going to check my level?"

"What?"

The bald man looked up and used the information viewing function, and was shocked to see that Song Gua had a big Lv0 on his head!

Song Gua spread his hands and said, "I'm just a scroll maker, brother, want to place an order?"

"What... is your situation? What's your level...?"

Before the bald man could react, the weeds beneath his feet trembled.

"My dear mother is clinging to me!"

Suddenly, a large patch of thorns sprouted and wrapped around the bald man's legs, turning him into a dumpling.

Loud, boisterous voices could be heard from all around.

"Ten thousand, stop shouting out skill names! Be serious, brothers, we're about to pull off a comeback against a higher-level opponent!"

"Ten thousand! What kind of crappy skill did you use? Isn't your class supposed to be A-rank? How come you can only control him for half a second? What's the use of that?"

"Nonsense! I'm only level 2. His resistance is much higher than my seal strength, so the control time is naturally greatly reduced."

"The next person in the control sequence, punish him by making him stand until he dies!"
