154: Chapter 154 The Joy of Slacking Off
At this moment, ten monsters with bull heads and snake bodies, bluish-black all over and possessing thick limbs, were slowly closing in on Zhou Rui.
Zhou Rui’s face was deathly pale as she held a Heavenly Punishment Orb, retreating step by step and crying as she cheered herself on.
"I can do this, I can't let Big Brother Jiang down..."
Thinking of this, she no longer cared about being afraid.
Immediately after, she pulled out several Heavenly Punishment Orbs and glared at the monsters in front of her.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
She threw them all at once: "You stinky things, go to hell!"
Boom—
A roar sounded, and smoke filled the air.
Before the smoke could even dissipate.
She immediately threw another dozen or so Heavenly Punishment Orbs.
Just as she was preparing to throw more, Zhou Rui suddenly felt something hit her foot.
Looking down, she immediately screamed at the top of her lungs.
A bloody monster arm was lying at her feet.
Although it had been severed from the body.
The hand was still incessantly clawing toward her.
Zhou Rui reflexively threw the Heavenly Punishment Orb in her hand at the monster's arm and then turned and ran.
A second later, a mist of blood dispersed.
Zhou Rui felt a warmth on her cheek; she wiped it with her hand, and it was entirely the monster's blood.
It also emitted a heavy, rank stench.
"Ugh..."
Zhou Rui gagged until tears came out.
The area ahead was now a thick fog from the Heavenly Punishment Orb explosions, blocking her view.
She didn't plan to give up, and just as she was about to continue the bombardment.
Suddenly, a notification sound rang out:
[Class Change Trial Challenge Successful]
[Class: Wizard]
Then, a white light flashed, and Zhou Rui vanished from the spot.
Outside, the crowd saw Zhou Rui walk out with a pale face, clutching a Heavenly Punishment Orb, her face covered in blood.
Their hearts leaped into their throats, and they all rushed over in a flurry.
Jiang He dashed forward even faster; just as he was about to speak, he stopped.
He suddenly didn't dare to ask for the result.
"Waaah... Big Brother Jiang... I..."
Thump—
Jiang He's heart pounded wildly; just as he was about to black out from the stress.
Zhou Rui cried out, "Waaah... I succeeded in the challenge."
The entire place fell silent for a few seconds.
Then, everyone showed expressions of excitement.
Jiang He even picked Zhou Rui up and spun her around twice: "Oh, my good sister, you're amazing!"
The several girls nearby heard this.
They were also moved and secretly wiped away their tears.
Only they knew how hard they had worked along the way.
Leveling up day and night.
Especially Jiang He, who hadn't rested for a single moment.
Inside the Crystal Capital hotel.
Everyone was sharing their new classes.
North Wind was now a Berserker.
His primary attack method was still melee.
But there were some differences from the previous Warrior class.
Originally, a Warrior's skills were mainly single-target attacks like Cleave and Charge.
But the Berserker added area-of-effect attack skills.
Yunque chose the Elementalist class.
Her skills were divided into five elemental types: wind, fire, water, thunder, and lightning.
At the same time, using the corresponding elemental skill in specific environments would make it even more powerful.
Lu Li chose the Guardian class.
The original Knight class couldn't perform offense and defense simultaneously.
But now it was different.
He could turn his shield into a barrier that automatically activated defense while he launched an attack.
Shi Gandang chose the Paladin class.
It wasn't much different from the previous Knight class, but his defense and HP were higher than before.
Miaomiao and Zhou Rui had the most significant changes.
Miaomiao was originally a Priest, but she had now changed classes to a Warlock.
All of her initial support skills had turned into attack skills.
Her original Healing Spell had become Shadow Bolt.
After hitting a target, it would also produce continuous damage.
At the same time, a new skill was added: Summon Imp.
She could summon monster corpses within a 50-meter radius as servants.
Their attributes were equivalent to 5% of their strength when alive, and they had a time limit; each monster could fight for her for about five minutes.
What was even more impressive was that this skill could be upgraded.
It was currently at Stage One and could summon 10 imps.
According to the prompt, this skill could be upgraded to level 10.
By then, as long as there were enough corpses, she could summon hundreds of imps at once to fight for her.
Although it was only for five minutes, it was still a terrifying existence.
Finally, there was Zhou Rui.
Her skills were no different from her previous Mage skills.
They were still attack methods like Fireball Technique, Frost Spell, and Lightning Strike Technique.
But a special attribute had been added.
It was infused with Toxin.
And this Toxin attribute also had level distinctions.
From levels one to ten; according to the prompt, the Toxin damage after reaching the max level was almost no different from Jiang He's Blood Speech Technique.
But there was one flaw: this Toxin needed to be bound to a single skill.
Once bound, it could not be changed.
After the group's discussion, they decided to bind it to the lowest-level Fireball Technique.
Although the damage caused by this skill wasn't high.
Fortunately, the cooldown was relatively short.
Jiang He sat in a chair, his fingers incessantly tapping on the table.
Now, his ten-person team was already at the ceiling of power in Crystal Capital.
Their strength had improved by countless levels compared to before.
He decided to take a risk and see if they could pass the first floor of the Stone Tomb Array without using cheats.
Half an hour later, the group appeared outside the Stone Tomb Array.
"We'll act together on the first floor; leave the second and third floors to me," Jiang He said.
Everyone nodded and then stepped into the Stone Tomb Array.
"Yunque, this Red Wild Boar is a fire-attribute monster; use the fire attribute," Jiang He shouted.
"Understood." Yunque immediately switched her elemental attribute.
Her skill was very simple—just one—but it could be switched at any time.
They all activated from above the monster.
Water attribute: A disc appeared in the sky, and water balls dropped rapidly.
Wind attribute: Formed a tornado.
Fire attribute: Smashed into the monsters like Meteor Fire Rain.
As for the difference between thunder and lightning, it was quite large.
Thunder attribute: Equivalent to the effect of a Heavenly Punishment Orb, it would produce explosive damage.
Lightning attribute: Equivalent to the previous Mage's Lightning Strike Technique, but it became an area-of-effect attack.
Swish, swish, swish—
Ten dead Red Wild Boars were summoned as imps by Miaomiao.
Although their attack power wasn't high, they could serve as meat shields to block damage for the team.
Meanwhile, Lu Li and Shi Gandang stood in front like two great mountains, blocking the monsters' advance.
North Wind stood beside them, brandishing his longsword in the fray.
Aowuu—
A dragon's roar came whistling through.
The Ice Dragon circled above, spraying a blast of frost.
A second later, the ground vibrated.
Rows of earth spikes suddenly rose, and the Earth Demon turned into an earthen ball, rolling into the monster crowd.
Boom—
The Centaur Beast repeatedly charged and rammed into the Red Wild Boars, forcing them back.
Throughout the process, Jiang He hardly lifted a finger, entirely focused on commanding.
At this moment, he finally felt the joy of slacking off.
So standing to the side and leeching experience could be such a great feeling?
The battle lasted for about an hour.
Although time-wise, it still couldn't compare to the speed of using cheats.
But this was enough to make Jiang He incredibly excited.
Not spending money on this floor was equivalent to saving a hundred million.
Moreover, since the chance to use cheats was preserved, it meant there was hope to challenge the Rank 1 White Wild Boar on the final floor today.
