The next day, I woke up around noon. The girls in the workshop were talking excitedly.
Ling Yue said with a smile, "In an hour, Snow Moon will officially become a Rank 2 guild. Everyone, please give us a round of applause..."
"Clatter clatter..."
After the sparse applause, Ling Yue announced with a smile, "Because of this, we will be expanding Snow Moon in the afternoon. Since Rank 2 guilds have a cap of 30k players, Snow Moon's strength will double, hoho!"
The beautiful gang leader, Ling Yue, was obviously very happy. Ling Xue asked, "Sis, do we need to recruit people in the afternoon?
Can Scholar, Sister Qin Yun, and I not participate? Our quest progress is slow, and we don't want to waste time on this... "
Ling Yue nodded with a smile. "I was thinking the same thing. So, the recruitment will be left to Dragon Soul, Flying Fire, and the others. With their many years of experience in the game, their eyes must be very sharp!
Also, in the near future, a territory system will be opened. Our chance is here! "
Zi Yue smiled happily and asked, "Then, do you think the game will open a marriage and children system?"
I said decisively, "Go go go … Only idiot games in our country would add this kind of garbage system. A game should have its own meaning and charm, so it can't just randomly add this kind of nonsense. To be honest, I want to vomit every time I see those retarded MMOs wearing modern jackets and wielding ancient swords to kill skeletons …"
Zi Yue blinked and said, "I met a handsome mage in White Cloud City yesterday. He's also from Suzhou, and he asked me to meet him in game this afternoon..."
Everyone was stunned. Ling Yue asked in concern, "Zi Yue, what does he look like? Are you sure you want to meet him?"
Zi Yue shook her head. "I don't know, that's why I asked..."
Summer's eyes were full of stars. "Zi Yue is so happy, she actually has an online relationship..."
"Ahem!" I interrupted her and said, "Zi Yue, have you decided to give your body to him?"
Zi Yue was surprised. "No …"
"Then don't go …"
"Why?"
"Isn't meeting online friends just to get a room?
Do you think that there's still love in this world?
It's all fake … "
Qin Yun immediately pulled on my sleeve and said angrily, "Don't be so direct. Zi Yue and Xia Xia really want this kind of thing. Why do you have to break their dreams …"
Zi Yue lifted her head and looked at me. "Brother Scholar, do you think I should go?"
"Of course not!"
"Well, I won't go!" Zi Yue said with a smile.
Qin Yun asked me with a smile, "We met online. Why did you come to the Shuizhu Corporation to see me?"
"That's different …"
I said awkwardly, "Let's think about the expansion of Snow Moon this afternoon …"
Ling Yue said, "It's to recruit people and then continue to level. Scholar's number one position must be protected. Hmm, it's been temporarily impacted …"
Ling Xue was slightly surprised. "Oh?
Who can reach the number one position? "
"It's that Seven-star Lamp!"
I frowned. "I really can't underestimate him …"
… …
So, I went online in the afternoon, bought potions, and continued to level with Ling Xue and Qin Yun.
At the East Gate, Sword Fire Dragon and Sword Fire Ghost were busy recruiting people — —
A Swordsman surrounded them. "Boss Dragon!
I want to join Snow Moon, I'm Level 35! "
Dragon said, "Come again at Level 55 …"
Another Assassin came forward. "I want to join Snow Moon!
I've played many games before, I'm a top player! "
Dragon trembled. "What game?"
"J. Dance Group!"
"Scram!"
Another dinosaur with a Black Iron – grade staff came over. His face was full of pockmarks and stubble, and there were leftover vegetables stuck between his teeth. He said to Dragon in a coquettish voice, "Big brother Dragon, let me join Snow Moon. Give me a Gold-grade item, and I'll be your girlfriend ~ ~"
Dragon was shocked. "A Gold-grade item?
Okay, come quickly … "
Ghost glanced at him and said in shock, "Boss Dragon, you have such a heavy taste!"
The Dragon Soul smiled mysteriously. "To each their own …"
After exiting the East Gate, Ling Xue looked at me in confusion. "Why did Sword Fire Dragon smile so vulgarly just now?"
I said in a low voice, "Because he realized that the opportunity to visit a prostitute has come!"
"..."
… …
It took us more than an hour to reach Frozen Canyon again. We were so familiar with this place that Ling Xue pulled up the support interface before we even entered the canyon. She pointed out in the party channel which path we should take to avoid the mobs and enter the depths of Frozen Canyon.
A couple of minutes later, two monsters appeared in front of us. One of them was a Swift Wolf of the Ice Valley. It looked like a crystal wolf, but its teeth were white and gleaming with a cold light. Its eyes were deep red, and it was a terrifying sight to behold.
The other monster was a humanoid monster with a sharp sword in its hand. It hid wretchedly in the ice and snow, waiting for an opportunity to ambush people from afar. Moreover, both of these monsters were elite monsters!
[Swift Wolf of the Ice Valley] (Elite)
Level: 105
Attack: 1450 ~ 1700
Defense: 550
HP: 100000
Skills: [Laceration], [Bleed], [Bloodthirst]
Passive: A Swift Wolf of the Land of Ice. It is extremely aggressive, and countless human adventurers have lost their lives to its sharp teeth. [Hunter of the Ice Valley] (Elite)
Level: 105
Attack: 1250 ~ 1400
Defense: 250
HP: 50000
Skills: [Lunge], [Summon Snow Monster]
Passive: An evil human who hunts snow monsters for a living. They ally themselves with evil creatures and can summon snow monsters to assist them in battle...
Basically, both of these monsters were difficult to deal with. The Swift Wolf of the Ice Valley was obviously an offensive-type monster. Not only did it have 1700 Attack, it also had three very powerful skills. It would probably be very difficult to deal with.
The Hunter of the Ice Valley was a monster similar to a summoner. It was similar to Summer's class, but it was definitely stronger than Summer.
Ling Xue couldn't help but click her tongue when she saw the message in the party channel. "That Swift Wolf's Attack is so strong …"
I nodded. "Let's lure it over and see what happens!"
"Mn!"
I fired an Armor-Piercing Arrow and lured a Swift Wolf of the Ice Valley toward me. Its eyes glowed red, and it let out a howl before pouncing toward me. The good news was that this monster's movement speed wasn't very fast. It was about the same as a player's normal movement speed. If a player added Agility, their movement speed could easily surpass a Swift Wolf's. This made me want to grind it.
Crack crack crack!
The Total Annihilation hit the Swift Wolf's neck three times and dealt more than 17000 damage. However, it wasn't enough to kill the Swift Wolf because it had 100000 HP!
Ling Xue stepped forward to help, but she attracted the attention of another Ice Valley Hunter. That Ice Valley Hunter directly raised the sharp sword in his hand, and with a flash of red light, he actually summoned a huge snow monster that was about the height of two people!
The level of the snow monsters was the same as the hunters, so the upper limit of their Attack was 1400. It was still acceptable. Right now, 1400 Attack only dealt a few hundred damage to me and Ling Xue.
However, fighting two monsters alone was still a bit difficult for Ling Xue. The Hunter of the Ice Valley's Charge skill could stun a person for a short period of time!
"Rip!"
The Swift Wolf of the Ice Valley raised its claws and tore at my chest armor. My Gold-grade metal armor almost couldn't withstand the attack, and a huge damage number popped up above my head. 1857!
"Fuck, such a high Attack!"
I couldn't help but groan inside. Although my Defense was 1780, the enemy's 1700 Attack was enough to break through my Defense because of the level gap!
The reason why level was so important was because the ratio of levels to stats was proportional. For example, if two players had 1000 Attack, but one was Level 100 and the other was Level 80, their actual Attack would be 1250. A Level 100 player's Attack would be 1000, and a Level 80 player's Attack would be 1000. This was the reason why everyone was grinding their levels like crazy...
It was the exact same thing. Although a Level 105 elite monster had 1700 Attack, it was no different from a normal monster of the same level. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to deal so much damage to me!
Qin Yun hurriedly used a healing spell. On the other side, Ling Xue looked ahead after taking care of the two trash mobs. She exclaimed in surprise, "OMG, there are so many mobs in front of us. I can't believe there are so many elite mobs in front of us …"
I cut the Swift Wolf apart and looked ahead. Just as Ling Xue said, the mobs here were densely packed. It was probably because this was the first time Frozen Canyon had been touched by a player. Otherwise, it would've been abnormal to see so many elite mobs. Although this was only a small part of Frozen Canyon, more than 90% of the map was occupied by normal mobs. Elite mobs were the minority.
Ling Xue's eyes wandered around before she suddenly smiled. "Idiot, let's grind!
Use Thousand-Blade Arrow or it'll be too slow … "
I paled. "It's already so difficult to fight a Swift Wolf, and we still have to grind mobs? Ling Xue, are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Ling Xue smiled. "Of course I'm not joking, idiot. Just watch!
We can create our own conditions to grind mobs! "
After saying that, Ling Xue gripped her Thunderous Sword and ran to the edge of the canyon. There, a thick layer of ice froze everything. The hard layer of ice stopped the mobs from advancing.
"Keng!"
Ling Xue wiped away the snow on the surface of the iceberg and slashed at the thick layer of ice. I immediately came to a realization and couldn't help but praise Ling Xue. She was really too smart. She wanted to carve out a place on the tip of the iceberg and then create the natural conditions to grind mobs!
With two slashes, I got rid of the Swift Wolf in front of me. I brought Qin Yun to Ling Xue's side. She put in a lot of effort, but the Thunderous Sword's sharpness was limited. After a long time, she could only make a small hole that could fit a leg.
I smiled and patted the little beauty's shoulder. "Hey, let me do this kind of hard work!"
Ling Xue smiled and retreated with her sword.
I stepped forward and heavily slashed down with my sword. Immediately, shards of ice flew everywhere. The Ice King's Sword was an Earth Tier weapon, and it immediately created a sizable hole in the ice. After slashing down a dozen more times, a hole that could fit a person had appeared in the layer of ice.
Ling Xue shook her head and smiled. "No, no, Sister Qin Yun needs to hide inside and heal. Just leave a spot at the entrance. The two of us will take turns tanking the mobs. Otherwise, our equipment won't be able to take it."
"Okay!"
I continued to split the ice. Only when I had carved out a spot for three people did Ling Xue and Qin Yun nod in satisfaction. After going in to take a look, they clicked their tongues and said, "Not bad. It's just a little narrow …"
I was speechless. "If you want to live in a spacious house, then spend money to buy one. I'm not Lu Ban, I can't make an exquisite house …"
Ling Xue pointed at the jagged edges of the ice and said with amusement, "But the craftsmanship doesn't need to be so bad. It looks like the home of the Ice Age Barbarians …"
Next was the important part, the problem of luring the mobs.
I said, "Ling Xue has Earth-grade equipment and a top-tier cloak that increases movement speed by 10%. Go and lure the mobs. Qin Yun and I will wait here for you to lure a large group of mobs over …"
Ling Xue pouted and immediately took off the Moon Shadow Cloak. She handed it to me and said, "I'll lend it to you for a while. Go and lure the mobs …"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Forget it, keep it for yourself. My Blood Cloak has Intermediate Bloodthirst. It's much more useful."
"Oh oh, then go quickly ~ ~"
… …
And so, the two girls stood on the ice and waited for me. I played the role of a lone hero and went into the group of mobs alone to lure them!
Luring mobs was a great skill. You didn't need to physically touch the mobs to attract their attention. Normally, the mobs in this area could only see me within 30 yards of them, so I only needed to get within 30 yards of them to alert them!
Furthermore, the route of luring the monsters required knowledge. Not only did he have to minimize the damage, but he also had to leave a path of retreat for himself. He couldn't allow himself to be surrounded by monsters while luring them. He couldn't do such a stupid thing, or else Ling Xue and Qin Yun might laugh until they cried …
"Whoosh …"
A gust of wind blew past my ears as I dashed through the snow between two Ice Valley Swift Wolves. The two Swift Wolves immediately sensed my presence and chased after me with a howl. I continued forward without any distractions and passed through three more Ice Valley Swift Wolves. More and more monsters appeared behind me, but they weren't fast enough to catch up to me at all.
About ten minutes later, when I turned back, I saw a field of snow flying behind me. A large number of monsters were running, leaving a trail of snow and dust behind them. The ground seemed to be shaking. There were at least 500 Swift Wolves and Hunters in this group!
Ling Xue was overjoyed when she saw this. She hurriedly rushed forward and used a sword energy to relieve some of the pressure on me. Then, the two of us quickly entered the frozen hut that we had just made. Qin Yun was already waiting inside with a smile.
"Patter …"
I crashed into Qin Yun's embrace and immediately felt a warm fragrance.
Ling Xue angrily pulled me over and blocked me at the door. She said, "You tank the mobs first. Don't use the Frost Sword, use Thousand Blade Arrow!"
Qin Yun looked up worriedly and said, "Will this place collapse?"
