100: Each with their own ulterior motives
On the square, new Professionals kept coming to watch, and previous Professionals kept leaving.
After all, the lowest level monsters appearing here were level 10, and they wouldn't appear alone.
For most Professionals, safely leveling up and collecting more food was the best approach.
Gu Qinghan waited here for over half an hour before he saw a piece of information on the gate of calamity that interested him:
Level 13 monsters: 20
Level 15 monsters: 10
Level 16 elite monsters: 2
Although the number of monsters this time was not as many as last time, their quality was much stronger.
The people from the three teams opposite also frowned and looked at the gate of calamity; why were monsters of this scale constantly appearing here today?
It wasn't that they couldn't handle them, but they needed to preserve some of their strength to deter the surrounding Professionals.
In their hearts, this gate of calamity had become their property.
If they weren't strong enough to drive everyone away, they wouldn't even hypocritically set these rules.
Since this morning, they had already dealt with several waves of challenging monsters.
And now, many of their mana had not yet recovered to half.
"Why don't we let those people opposite make a move? Anyway, they don't seem to care about the consumption."
A thick-browed uncle asked the Professionals from the other two teams, his eyes glancing towards Gu Qinghan's side.
The man with the loud voice thought for a moment, then slowly nodded:
"Alright, we can also test their strength."
The woman who wanted to change her sword earlier looked at Gu Qinghan with slight interest, a smile playing on her lips as she said:
"I agree, and it seems those around him aren't Professionals."
The other two men's expressions changed, their brows furrowing tightly as they asked:
"What do you mean? Not human?"
The three of them were the captains of their respective teams and the three strongest people before Gu Qinghan arrived.
Although they harbored ulterior motives in secret, at this moment, they all regarded Gu Qinghan as an imaginary enemy.
The woman tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, glanced at the two and said:
"Have you forgotten that I, Zhao Mengling, just exchanged for that skill book from the mall? I can see the vitality of those ten guys."
The two nodded in sudden realization; they had all obtained a few magic crystals before, but they had all used them to exchange for storage rings.
However, the thick-browed uncle still asked curiously:
"So you can see their vitality, how much is the vitality of those ten... uh, things?"
Zhao Mengling looked at them, then uttered a number that almost made them choke:
"2800."
"How much?"
"What?"
The two men's eyes widened, looking at Zhao Mengling in disbelief.
Zhao Mengling rolled her eyes in annoyance, repeating the number she had just seen.
The man with the loud voice felt his throat dry. He looked back at his teammates behind him, then turned back with a wry smile:
"Only three people in our team have vitality over 2000: two level 12 Shield Guards and one level 11 Guardian Knight."
The thick-browed uncle also looked embarrassed and said:
"There are 5 in our team; besides me, the other four are all under 2500..."
They looked at each other, suddenly realizing that this suddenly appearing man's strength was somewhat terrifying.
The thick-browed uncle sighed, then suddenly smiled and said:
"But it's good, they all seem to be melee Professions over there, somewhat like the Berserkers we've seen before, with no ranged Professions."
"Yes, even if both of them were ranged Professions, their team's configuration would be far inferior to ours."
The two began to cheer themselves up with their back-and-forth, but Zhao Mengling secretly scorned them eight hundred times in her heart.
She actually hadn't said one more thing just now, which was that she couldn't see the Little Black Cat's vitality.
It was already a very strange thing that this Little Black Cat hadn't mutated.
Therefore, Zhao Mengling had been paying attention to this Little Black Cat just now but hadn't seen any information.
In this situation, either this cat was a player and its vitality couldn't be seen by this skill.
Or, this cat was an existence ten levels higher than herself.
But was that possible? Could there be an existence over level twenty at this stage?
Zhao Mengling couldn't figure out why Little Black wouldn't leak any aura when not in combat mode.
She couldn't understand the reason and could only secretly keep it in mind.
She wasn't ready to share this secret with the other two for now, as their three teams didn't completely trust each other either.
Just then, Gu Qinghan suddenly stood up and asked them:
"Shall I?"
"Okay, since we are to jointly manage this gate of calamity, then..."
The loud-voiced man said a few polite words, which Gu Qinghan selectively ignored.
He lay back down on his recliner, then had his Skeletons surround the gate.
After thinking for a moment, he summoned 5 more Berserker Skeletons.
In this kind of prolonged battle, Berserker Skeletons were more effective than Extreme Ice Wizard Skeletons.
The surrounding people immediately erupted in another heated discussion; they suddenly realized that these figures in full armor were not Professionals.
This was the opponent's professional ability!
"Wow, this is too cool, I've never seen anyone kill monsters while lying down!"
"What's so great about that? At the beginning of the game, my brother and I were killing zombies, and my leg got bitten. Didn't I also lie there waiting for the zombies to be killed?"
"You're killing me with laughter. He's lying there slaughtering, you're lying there waiting to die."
These Professionals knew they couldn't contend with the monsters appearing from the gate of calamity, so they watched the battle with the mindset of observing a great expert.
In this apocalypse where danger could strike at any moment, watching others kill monsters was also a way to relieve stress.
These fifteen Berserker Skeletons arrived near the gate of calamity, quietly waiting for the monsters to descend.
Soon, a large number of monsters appeared and engaged them in a desperate struggle.
And this time, the battle ended very quickly, even faster than before.
This situation occurred because once the number of Skeletons increased, the number of Little Skeletons would rapidly increase.
This way, after each Little Skeleton was killed, it could provide an enhancement effect to the remaining Skeletons.
Moreover, Gu Qinghan found that as long as he didn't use the Bone Spears on the ground, they would remain there.
Even if they were destroyed by others or monsters, they would gradually recover.
Gu Qinghan suddenly had an idea: to leave more Bone Spears in this vicinity as a backup measure for himself.
Although the current situation seemed like this huge gate of calamity was a gift to humanity.
It not only informed Professionals in advance about the monsters and their numbers that would appear but also provided better equipment and items.
However, Gu Qinghan didn't think this situation would last long; danger or challenges would eventually come.
This is called the gate of calamity, destined to bring calamity.
