65: Chapter Sixty-Five: Team Promotion

In the time that followed, using the same routine and the same tactics, the group only needed to coordinate once before their synergy became incredibly proficient.

For a time, Zhang Qinhong's Flame Rain raged across the second floor of the Zuma Temple. The rain of fire filling the sky bloomed amidst the mob of monsters like brilliant fireworks.

Liu Qingqing fired her Frost Arrows in quick succession, applying layer upon layer of slowing effects, causing the Long-haired Pigs in the sea of fire to take damage with every step they took.

The fusion skill of ice and fire intertwined at this moment, creating a truly spectacular scene.

After battling fiercely for nearly an hour and a half like this, over a hundred Long-haired Pigs had been mostly cleared out.

On the vast battlefield, only a few monsters with low health remained, wandering aimlessly.

As part of an Apprentice Assassin's professional ethics, cleaning up low-health enemies was part of the job. After finishing them off in a few moves, the group let out sighs of relief.

They were exhausted from the killing, but when large groups of monsters fell one after another, turning into experience points and dropping massive amounts of equipment and gold coins, the feeling was truly exhilarating.

Next came the looting phase. The number of monsters killed this time was massive, and the dropped gold coins piled up like a mountain.

According to the pattern, every Elite Long-haired Pig dropped 5-10 gold coins, which added up to a considerable sum.

There was still some time before God Domain opened its real-world currency exchange feature. On the forum auction house, the gold coin exchange rate remained high. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the first few days after the server launch, it was currently still maintaining a 1:35 exchange rate.

In other words, 1 in-game gold coin could be exchanged for 35 Universe Coins.

The three of them immediately split up, each taking charge of an area, bending down to quickly pick up the scattered gold coins. Lin Feng did not participate in the looting; he was very busy...

Looking at the corpses of over a hundred Long-haired Pigs on the field, he sighed. Fortunately, Hand of God was not on cooldown; otherwise, he wouldn't have had enough time to loot so many corpses.

Cleaning up the battlefield was definitely an enjoyable process, and the group was immersed in it. They didn't count exactly how many gold coins dropped, so everyone kept the gold they picked up for themselves. Of course, all the equipment was handed over to Lin Feng for unified distribution.

What was even more pleasantly surprising was the experience points. Because of the map's double experience bonus, in just over an hour, Liu Qingqing leveled up again, and Zhang Qinhong had leveled up twice, reaching 18th level with 55% experience. The leveling speed was terrifyingly fast.

"This is leveling up way too fast, right?" Zhang Qinhong covered her small mouth, surprised. A hint of pleasant surprise was clearly visible in her eyes!

From the moment they entered this map until now, only a few short hours had passed, yet she had completed an unprecedented three-level jump. On the level leaderboard, she had also leapt to become the seventh-ranked player.

In the past, this was something she would never have dared to imagine. At this moment, she perfectly embodied what it meant to say that choice is more important than effort.

Compared to Zhang Qinhong's surprised reaction, Lin Feng felt it was quite normal. After all, over 90% of these hundred-plus Long-haired Pigs were killed by her, and each one granted an additional 6,500 experience points for killing above her level. It would be strange if she didn't level up quickly.

"Sister Xiaohong, you'll get used to it slowly. Once you equip your set, it'll be your turn to carry us while we level up," Lin Feng teased with a smile.

"I'm so happy, I don't even know how to thank you all." Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Uh... how about you offer yourself to me as a token of gratitude!"

"Ah! Captain, you! You're so bad..." "Haha... just kidding! Just kidding, the atmosphere was too dry, just trying to liven things up!" Lin Feng laughed awkwardly, quickly using a joke to cover up his true inner thoughts.

"Brother Feng, can we check what equipment dropped first?" Ye Weiyang, who was standing to the side, really couldn't watch anymore and rolled his eyes as he reminded him.

"Alright... alright." After saying that, he didn't hesitate to share the attributes of the items in the party channel— [Leather Helmet] (Silver Grade)

Quality: Fine. HP: +350. Strength: +30. Stamina: +25. Required Level: 22. Required Classes: Archer, Knight, Apprentice Assassin.

For a moment, everyone was too shocked to speak. An elite monster had actually dropped Silver Grade equipment. This luck was absolutely heaven-defying.

Ye Weiyang was the first to recover, looking at Lin Feng and asking, "Brother Feng, I remember you haven't equipped anything in your helmet slot yet, right?"

Lin Feng gave a wry smile: "That is indeed the case..." "Then why don't you put it on... No wonder you look weird every time I see you, it turns out your head is bare." Liu Qingqing covered her mouth and laughed.

"Uh... how could I be so embarrassed? All three of us can wear this equipment, so for the sake of fairness, let's roll for it!"

The rules for rolling in God Domain were very simple: everyone initiates a roll in the party interface, and the system randomly generates an integer between 0-100. The person with the highest final score gets the equipment. The entire process is automatically determined by the system, relying entirely on luck, and no one can cheat.

Ye Weiyang shook his head: "I'm wearing a set, which has exclusive attribute bonuses, so I'll pass on this helmet." As he finished speaking, the two of them looked simultaneously at Liu Qingqing on the side.

"Why are you all looking at me? I'm only level 17 right now, my level is way too low, even if I won the roll, I couldn't wear it, so... I'll abstain too."

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Alright then! Thank you all!" "You're welcome." "Thanks for nothing..."

After putting on the Leather Helmet, his attributes surged significantly. [Player: God Slayer] [Class: Apprentice Assassin] [Level: 22] [Attack: 75-1010] [HP: 2125] [Mana: 680] [Dual Defense: 141] [Strength: 89] [Intelligence: 43] [Constitution: 28] [Agility: 135] [Stamina: 47] [Charisma: 18] [Prestige: 4380] [Combat Power: 4025] ...

With just this one Silver Grade helmet, his combat power increased by a full 500 points, directly pushing his total combat power past the 4,000 mark. In terms of attack power, he finally reached four digits, and his defense and HP also saw a nice improvement, which helped make up for his class's shortcomings.

It could be said that his current attributes were quite brutal. His entire body, except for his belt which was Black Iron Grade, consisted of Bronze and Silver Grade gear, allowing him to continue leading the server's combat power rankings. Extremely awesome.

Looking at the remaining three pieces of equipment, without exception, they were all below Bronze Grade Fine quality. One was an 18th-level Priest's normal ring, which no one needed, so it was kept by the captain. One was a 17th-level Archer necklace, which Liu Qingqing could just wear. Especially the last item, an 18th-level Knight's Fine shield, which made Ye Weiyang incredibly happy; his defense and HP instantly surged by a huge amount!

"This trip was truly a huge harvest; everyone got suitable equipment to strengthen themselves," Zhang Qinhong said with a smile. Ye Weiyang fiddled with his new shield and nodded in agreement: "Yeah... going into the third floor of the Zuma Temple next, our margin for error will be much higher."

Liu Qingqing looked excited: "Let's hurry up and pull the next wave of monsters. I can't wait to know how much more experience and good stuff we can get after clearing this floor."

Lin Feng looked into the distance with deep eyes, then suddenly raised the long sword in his hand with one hand and shouted, "Alright! Since everyone is so full of fighting spirit, then let's set off immediately... For equipment... For experience... For the team... Advance forward!" "Let's... do this!!"
