"Little Pudding, how are you going to thank me?"
Inside the guild驻地 of the Creation Guild, Jiang Yuan crossed his arms and looked at the hamster Pudding.
If Jiang Yuan hadn't come to save the day, the Creation Guild might not have even gotten the rewards from the guild dungeon. But Jiang Yuan didn't really want anything in return from hamster Pudding; he just wanted to tease her.
"Hmm! Let me think..."
Unexpectedly, hamster Pudding started thinking seriously, but after a long while, she couldn't come up with a way to thank Jiang Yuan. She had to say to him, "I can't think of anything. How about you make a request? As long as it's not too much, I'll agree to it!"
"Oh? Then I'll have to think carefully about what request to make."
Hearing hamster Pudding's words, Jiang Yuan immediately came up with many mischievous ideas—like washing her hair upside down, crossdressing cosplay, calling him "daddy," and so on—but he rejected them all one by one.
"How about you send me a cool photo?"
After thinking it over, Jiang Yuan clicked on hamster Pudding's avatar and sent his WeChat ID over.
"Get lost! You pervert!"
Hamster Pudding was furious at this, lifting her leg and kicking at him, saying angrily.
"Haha, I'm off!"
Jiang Yuan dodged nimbly, laughed, and left a word behind as his figure slowly faded away.
After splitting the experience rewards from the guild dungeon of the Dominance Guild, Jiang Yuan's level jumped from 55 to 59, just one step away from the 60-level threshold!
"Sigh! If only I could also split the experience from Pudding's guild dungeon!"
Back in the main city, Jiang Yuan looked at his level with some regret. At the time, only about a hundred people were alive in hamster Pudding's Creation Guild, each averaging nearly a million experience points. If he could have shared in that experience, breaking through level 60 would have been no problem!
"Forget it, I'll go find some corrupted monsters to fight."
Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered the corrupted monsters he encountered during his class change quest, which gave generous experience. So he decided to set out to find corrupted monsters.
Once he reached level 60, Jiang Yuan could head to the new main city, Peace City. The wild monsters there were between levels 60 and 75, perfect for leveling up.
"Ding! Do you want to teleport to Peace City?"
After finding the teleport NPC in Jinyang City and paying a few silver coins, a prompt sounded in Jiang Yuan's ear. He agreed without hesitation.
After a dizzying whirl, Jiang Yuan arrived at Peace City, which was several times larger than Jinyang City.
Opening the mini-map, Jiang Yuan headed toward a place called "Sun-Shrouding Forest," where the wild monsters were generally around level 75, the highest in this area.
Just as he entered Sun-Shrouding Forest, Jiang Yuan saw a blade light several meters long flash past not far in front of him. Following the blade light to its end, he saw a level 75 wild monster, a "Minotaur," with a damage number of -50,000 floating above its head.
"Damn, 50,000 damage? Who's that badass?"
Even Jiang Yuan was envious of such terrifying damage, letting out an inner exclamation.
Then, a figure appeared before Jiang Yuan—a person clad in earthen-yellow battle armor, wearing a bamboo hat, and holding a uniquely shaped short blade.
[Character Name: One Blade Breaks All Laws] [Level: 62] [Class: Overlord Blade] [Guild: Proud World] [HP: 35,000] ...
The moment this person appeared, a light blue attribute panel materialized in front of Jiang Yuan, listing all relevant information.
"It's him? The hidden class that the Proud World Guild spent a fortune to recruit!"
Glancing at the opponent's character panel, Jiang Yuan immediately recognized who it was.
"Friend, this place is taken. Go level up somewhere else."
One Blade Breaks All Laws glanced sideways at Jiang Yuan, his gaze not lingering long. He said flatly before continuing to harvest the dense crowd of wild monsters ahead.
"Hmph, do people in Proud World all have their eyes on top of their heads?"
Hearing the arrogant tone, Jiang Yuan grumbled inwardly but didn't leave. He wanted to show One Blade Breaks All Laws what real "taking over" meant!
"Summon: Prairie Wolf!" "Summon: Mang Mountain Bear!"
Silently reciting two skill names exclusive to the Nine Spirits Summoner class, in an instant, the entire Sun-Shrouding Forest was filled with five thousand Prairie Wolves and Mang Mountain Bears!
"Owww!" "Roar!"
Thousands of wolf howls and bear roars echoed through the forest. In just a few seconds, the dense wild monsters in Sun-Shrouding Forest vanished without a trace!
"Ding! You defeated the wild monster Minotaur, gaining 1,200 experience points!" "Ding! You defeated the wild monster Mandrill, gaining 1,200 experience points!" "Ding! You defeated the wild monster Two-Headed Snake, gaining 1,200 experience points!"
A series of prompts sounded, and Jiang Yuan's experience bar instantly gained two to three hundred thousand experience points!
"This!"
Looking at the summoned beasts covering the entire Sun-Shrouding Forest, One Blade Breaks All Laws from Proud World was utterly shocked!
"Friend, this place is taken. Go level up somewhere else."
Taking advantage of the gap before the monsters respawned, Jiang Yuan threw the same words back at One Blade Breaks All Laws!
"You sure you want to compete with me for monsters?"
Although blocked by five thousand wolves and bears, unable to see Jiang Yuan's exact position, One Blade Breaks All Laws still typed a message on the public chat, his tone full of provocation.
Jiang Yuan already had a grudge against the Proud World Guild. Seeing One Blade Breaks All Laws' words on the public chat, he got riled up. Just as the ten thousand summoned beasts were about to disappear, he raised his hand and summoned another ten thousand Prairie Wolves, clearing out the freshly respawned wild monsters in Sun-Shrouding Forest once more!
Seeing the newly spawned monsters cleared again by Jiang Yuan, One Blade Breaks All Laws immediately switched to PK mode. But to his frustration, with the summoned creatures blocking almost all vision, he couldn't lock onto Jiang Yuan's position at all!
"Hmph! You're tough. We'll see about this!"
Helplessly leaving a harsh word, One Blade Breaks All Laws stormed off from Sun-Shrouding Forest to find another leveling spot.
"Hmph! Little punk!"
Watching One Blade Breaks All Laws' dejected retreat, Jiang Yuan made a face at him. When it came to showing off, Jiang Yuan had never lost to anyone!
And One Blade Breaks All Laws, who had been arrogant ever since switching to a hidden class, grew angrier the more he thought about it. Even the Proud World Guild leader, Proud World Dragon Emperor, wouldn't bully him so blatantly!
"Damn it!"
One Blade Breaks All Laws cursed out loud. He had already left Sun-Shrouding Forest but immediately turned back, heading toward where he had met Jiang Yuan earlier.
