By the time they finished researching the six types of monsters, the afternoon was over. Gu Fei's face was filled with a sense of accomplishment. Brother You's notebook was filled with notes.
"My students' levels are low. This Knight isn't even level 30 yet, so the monsters they chose are level 30. They're too low for you. Go back and see which level 40 monster you want to train. Let me know and I'll help you research," Gu Fei said to Brother You.
"Why are we going back? Now! Let's go!" Brother You was anxious.
Gu Fei looked at the time. There was still some time before the students would come online after dinner. Gu Fei had been painstakingly teaching the students for the past two days. After all, it was impossible for the students to grasp everything perfectly after the two-hour lesson. Gu Fei spent the rest of the time training with them, correcting everyone's mistakes. During the students' break time, he had to come over to prepare lessons. Originally, he could rest for a while after preparing lessons, but now he had to give Brother You extra lessons …
Fortunately, Brother You's lesson for one day was enough. There wouldn't be new problems every day. Gu Fei nodded and decided to sacrifice today's break time to help Brother You.
"What level do you think I can fight?" Brother You asked.
"What level do you usually fight?" Gu Fei asked.
"Level 45, but the efficiency of farming experience is about the same as fighting level 40," Brother You said. Players that were five levels higher were the choice of players for solo training. A skilled and powerful team could usually do it ten levels higher. Players like Skinny Waist, who had insane equipment, could also do it ten levels higher when solo training. Gu Fei, who wasn't human, could do it twenty levels higher.
This did not mean that killing level 50 monsters with a level 40 ability was a level higher. Players with decent equipment could do it, but the key was to ensure the efficiency of killing monsters. With the same amount of EXP, players could kill two Level 40 monsters per minute, but they could only kill one Level 50 monster per minute. Moreover, Level 50 monsters couldn't possibly give twice as much EXP as Level 40 monsters. Hence, in terms of EXP, killing Level 40 monsters wasn't as easy as killing Level 50 monsters. Therefore, killing monsters at this level wasn't considered skipping levels.
To really skip levels, one needed to have the experience of a higher level. For example, Brother You, who was five levels higher but still had the same efficiency as killing level 40 monsters, could only be considered half a level higher. However, EXP wasn't the only thing that could be gained from killing monsters. In terms of item drops, the higher the level of the monster, the better the loot. Therefore, even though the EXP gained from killing Level 40 and Level 45 monsters was the same for Brother You, he was more willing to work harder to kill Level 45 monsters.
Even Gu Fei understood this very well. The two of them did not waste any more time. Immediately, Brother You led the way to his usual leveling spot. Actually, leveling up for Knights was the same as leveling up for Priests. Forming a team was the most efficient way, but after Level 40, Dark Knights possessed powerful destructive power. The former support Knights all had the heart to deal damage after changing their class to Diablo. Thus, when leveling up with a team, they no longer carefully buffed everyone's stats. They would often bravely charge into the frontlines of battle.
Of course, this kind of half-heartedness was very displeasing. After all, most of the players in charge of dealing damage treated themselves as masters and treated the support classes as servants. As servants, not only did they not serve their masters, but they even tried to steal their jobs. How could the masters tolerate this? Moreover, the Knight class was simply an accelerator. It was not a necessity like the Priest. Without a Knight, they would only train slower. It was not a big deal. Moreover, there were many ladies in the Priest army. This innate advantage was something that Knights could not compare to. Hence, as a support class, the treatment of Knights was far inferior to that of Priests.
Now that the Knights had advanced to Diablo, they had the strength to train solo. When they were leveling with a group, no one dared to give them any face. The Knights were no longer willing to compromise, and they all walked towards the era of roaming the world alone. However, Brother You did not belong to this situation. As the King of Intelligence, Brother You mainly leveled up for quests. Occasionally, he would mingle with the team and grind monsters. Now that he had the idea of mainly grinding monsters, it had to be said that it was influenced by his environment.
In the team that Brother You was in, there was no need to talk about Gu Fei, who was killing everything around him. The rest of them were also characters who could take charge of an area. Even the most unmotivated person would inevitably want to improve himself in such a team. Brother You gradually felt that it was really embarrassing for him to slack off every time he fought.
The monster that Brother You usually farmed was the Bonfire Patrol Soldier in White Stone City's wilderness camp. It was Level 44 ~ 46, a warrior class, and its weapon was a one-handed sword. At the same time, it had a torch, which was also a powerful weapon in battle. When it hit a person's body, it would cause a burning effect that would continuously reduce one's HP. It was very disgusting.
Although it was disgusting, it was already a relatively good choice for solo leveling Level 45 monsters. The game's setting was obviously to encourage players to form parties to play in team games. The higher the level of the monsters, the more they lived in groups. Small monsters that formed groups of three to five and had a chain of aggro were very difficult to farm even for a single player of the same level, let alone someone of a higher level. Fortunately, the game company did not completely forget about the lone wolf players who liked to train alone. They more or less created some small monsters that were suitable for solo training. The Bonfire Patrol Soldier was one of them, and it was the favorite choice of ordinary players at the level 40 ~ 50.
This could be seen from the scene in front of them that there were indeed many players training in the wilderness camp. However, they fought separately, guarding their own little space and quietly farming monsters. There were so many players who had the ability to solo monsters five levels higher because it was too difficult to level up in the game. The high EXP requirement caused players to stay at the same level for a very long time. If it was said that when they first leveled up, their equipment was relatively trash. However, after such a long time, a considerable number of people could change their equipment. The advantage of being a Pioneer was weakened by this setting. The higher the level, the more it was so.
"Let's find a place to start?" Gu Fei said to Brother You. The two of them walked into the camp, looking for a corner that had not been occupied.
Brother You had come to this place many times over the past two days, but he had never been here at this time. He learned from Mr. Han and waited until the dead of night when there were fewer people online to level up. That was why he had never encountered such a problem. The two of them had walked half a circle, but there was actually no space left. Gu Fei was helpless, and Brother You was very depressed.
"What do we do?" Gu Fei asked.
Brother You really hoped that Gu Fei would instantly clear out an empty space, but he also knew that although Gu Fei killed people like flies, he was not an unreasonable person. He could only sigh and say, "Let's walk a little more. If there's really nothing left … we'll come back next time!"
"Okay!" Gu Fei replied and continued to look for a place. In the end, they did not find a place, but they met many players who were looking for a place like them. Therefore, Gu Fei started to take the initiative and asked around if the players who were training were ready to leave. This behavior did not seem to be very popular. The players who were asked all said in a rough voice that they would train until they died.
However, there were still good people in the world. Gu Fei and Brother You asked around, and everyone saw that they urgently needed to train. Finally, someone took pity on them and took the initiative to wave at the two. "Hey, you two, over here."
The two of them looked at each other, and after confirming that the other person was calling them, they immediately ran over happily.
"I'll be offline in a bit to eat," the player said to the two of them.
"Thank you, thank you," the two of them quickly said.
"The two of you are training together?" The person asked curiously. This was a famous solo training spot in White Stone City. If two people came to this place as a team, only one of them would be a freeloader. However, the two people in front of them were obviously 40 + EXP.
"We're not training, we're using monsters to do research," Gu Fei said honestly.
"Do research?" The player was confused.
"Research the most efficient way to kill monsters," Gu Fei said.
The player was obviously interested in Gu Fei's words, and asked with great interest, "How do you research?"
"You have to get monsters," Gu Fei said with a smile.
At this moment, there were no monsters spawning in this player's little world. In such a popular leveling spot, occupying a large area to continuously kill monsters was simply an extravagant hope. Having two or three monsters spawning for you to guard was already good enough. Most players only had to guard one monster, so there was no need to mention how difficult it was.
"This place is about to spawn, study one for me to see." The player smiled and pointed at the empty space in front of him, saying to Gu Fei.
"Okay!" Gu Fei drew his sword.
"Sword?" The player's eyeballs almost fell out. A Mage used a sword. He quickly thought of a terrifying Legend, and used Identify. In the end, his eyeballs really did fall out. Gu Fei was holding an extremely normal one-handed sword. He had casually gotten it when he was preparing for class. Gu Fei didn't want the monsters to die too quickly, and he wanted to play with the monsters for as long as possible.
A white light flashed, and the monsters spawned. Gu Fei rolled up his sleeves and smiled at the kind-hearted player. "Let's begin." With that said, he drew his sword and attacked the monsters.
The player opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't. Brother You laughed at the side. This was the reaction a normal player should have when they saw a Mage wielding a sword and fighting monsters in close combat! However, it was too early for him to be so shocked. The exciting part had yet to come!
The exciting attack demonstration that made Brother You feel as if he had returned from Mount Huangshan finally began. Brother You watched as the player's expression changed from shock to very shock, to extreme shock, to extreme shock, to extreme shock.
"Ah ah ah ah …" The player had already lost the ability to speak. He pointed at Gu Fei and gestured to Brother You. It was obvious that he wanted to ask something, but he couldn't form the words.
Brother You smiled mysteriously. He realized that having a friend like Gu Fei was something to be proud of.
"This, this, this … What do you mean by that!" The player finally said something.
"Ahem, about that …" Brother You was about to say a few words when he suddenly heard a series of exclamations. The surrounding players were all attracted by Gu Fei's fight. They stopped what they were doing and looked over. Some of them had even given up on their own little world to stand closer and get a clearer view.
Man, it seems like I'm a little too proud … Brother You thought.
