96: Lightning-fast upgrade

Miss Bu Dong stood with her back to the battlefield, still in a daze on her pretty face.

In her mind, a series of notifications about killing monsters quickly brought her back to her senses... The notifications came so fast they strung together, not stopping for a moment.

Swish—

A golden light flashed around her body, and Miss Bu Dong's level successfully rose to Level 33!

"Wow! So fast!"

Miss Bu Dong was shocked.

This killing speed was actually much faster than when she and Lin Du had teamed up just now!

This wasn't killing Lord-level monsters; this was clearly like slicing vegetables!

"Did the Black-Hearted Boss hold back before?"

Miss Bu Dong secretly turned around, wanting to see how Lin Du did it, but as soon as she tilted her head, she was startled by Lin Du's domineering voice.

"Turn around!"

"No looking back!!"

Miss Bu Dong faced the wall with a wronged expression, silently grumbling about Lin Du a hundred times in her heart... Under the combined efforts of Lin Du and the Silver King, a thick layer of White Claw Vicious Ghost corpses piled up on the ground.

Lin Du, with his speed advantage, remained untouched, while the Silver King nimbly dodged and weaved, crushing the White Claw Vicious Ghosts with absolute combat skill.

Unknowingly, Lin Du's level had already risen to Level 35.

Around them, the number of White Claw Vicious Ghosts remaining was less than 100... Lin Du felt a sense of exhilaration; this rocket-like leveling speed was addictive.

If he had known that leveling up by killing White Claw Vicious Ghosts was so satisfying, he would have brought more White Claw Vicious Ghosts to guard this first stage.

This was simply a leveling bug!

"What a pity!"

"1,000 is still too few; if only there were 10,000..."

Miss Bu Dong leaned against the wall, but she heard Lin Du's voice.

10,000?

Ordinary players struggled to kill 10, yet the Black-Hearted Boss wanted to kill 10,000?

Miss Bu Dong's body instinctively shivered.

She couldn't even imagine what it would be like to face 10,000 White Claw Vicious Ghosts!

10,000 White Claw Vicious Ghosts would be enough to fill the entire passage; there probably wouldn't even be room to step.

"The Black-Hearted Boss must be crazy!"

Swish—

[Killed White Claw Vicious Ghost Lv.30, gained experience +12655, lifespan value +21.51 hours]

[heart of the goddess of luck triggered, rewards doubled!]

...As the last White Claw Vicious Ghost fell, Lin Du's level ultimately settled at Level 36, while Miss Bu Dong stopped at Level 34... Lin Du put away the Silver King and turned to look at Miss Bu Dong, who was facing the wall.

"Alright, you can turn around now!"

Miss Bu Dong turned around.

When she saw Lin Du's level, she suddenly opened her small mouth in surprise.

"Black-Hearted Boss! We gained the same amount of experience, so why is your level two levels higher than mine?" Miss Bu Dong asked in shock.

Lin Du's higher level was naturally due to the heart of the goddess of luck.

The heart of the goddess of luck had triggered frequently just now, and Lin Du had received many doubled experience points.

"That's my secret!"

"If you sign another contract with me, I might tell you this secret!" Lin Du said with a smile.

Who wouldn't like a pretty little sister who has changed her class to White Night Death God?

Miss Bu Dong's face darkened, and she didn't speak.

Now, the word "contract" had become a forbidden word; every time it was mentioned, it affected Miss Bu Dong's mood... After clearing the White Claw Vicious Ghosts in the passage, the two continued forward along the passage.

At the end of the passage, threefork in the road appeared.

Lin Du, familiar with the route, walked towards the rightmost fork.

The moment he stepped into the rightmost fork, a black shadow "whoosh" drilled out of the black wall, silently sweeping past Lin Du's nape.

The distance was extremely close; the black shadow flashed and appeared behind Lin Du.

Miss Bu Dong, walking behind Lin Du, was greatly alarmed at the sight!

"Black-Hearted Boss, watch your back!"

The distance was simply too, too close; Miss Bu Dong had no time to react at all... Lin Du heard Miss Bu Dong's shout, but he didn't even lift an eyelid, casually flicking his silver charm blade behind him.

Pfft—

[Killed Evil Wraith Lv.36, gained experience +16615, lifespan value +23.51 hours]

Whoosh—

Miss Bu Dong stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.

He could react even at such close range?

She saw Lin Du's silver charm blade precisely embedded in the monster's head.

One hit kill!!

Miss Bu Dong hadn't even clearly seen the shadow's true form just now, yet Lin Du was able to accurately instant-kill the monster in a hundredth of a second—this was simply incredible!

Miss Bu Dong looked at Lin Du with the eyes she'd use for a monster.

"Black-Hearted Boss, is this really your first time here?"

Lin Du smiled, picked up his silver charm blade, and continued walking.

Every detail in this Supreme Secret Realm was meticulously designed by him; now, even if he closed his eyes, he would know what monsters were in what locations...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a walking bug!

After entering this small fork, Lin Du and the other had officially stepped into the territory of the second stage.

The rightmost fork Lin Du chose was the path with the lowest difficulty and the most monsters.

The fork was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!

Miss Bu Dong, looking scared, tugged at Lin Du's sleeve, not even daring to breathe loudly... Lin Du took a torch from his backpack, lit it, and handed it to Miss Bu Dong.

"The difficulty of this stage will be much higher. You don't need to attack; just save up some stamina."

"If we encounter danger later, you'll stand facing the wall again, just like before."

"Understood?"

Miss Bu Dong nodded without hesitation.

Not having to fight monsters but still getting their rewards—why wouldn't she be happy about such a good thing?

The mysterious and unpredictable abilities Lin Du displayed filled Miss Bu Dong with anticipation; she seemed to see a glimmer of hope for clearing the stage... "Boss, you can't really clear it, can you?"

Lin Du glanced at Miss Bu Dong, "Otherwise? Do you think I'd be foolish enough to let myself be slaughtered by that woman, Hong Jiu'er?"

"Stop talking nonsense, and keep up!"

Lin Du's speed suddenly increased, and he disappeared into the darkness ahead.

On the surrounding walls, bat-like monsters silently followed.
