By the time they finished researching the six types of monsters, the afternoon was already 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 said impatiently.
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 two hours of lessons. Gu Fei spent the rest of the time training with them, correcting everyone's mistakes. During the students' rest time, he had to come over to prepare for lessons. Originally, after preparing for lessons, he could rest for a while, but now he had to give Brother You extra lessons …
Fortunately, Brother You only needed one day of lessons. There wouldn't be new problems every day. After nodding his head, Gu Fei decided to sacrifice today's rest 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 for solo leveling. A skilled and powerful team could usually do it ten levels higher. Players like Skinny Waist, who had overpowered equipment, could also do it ten levels higher when solo leveling. Gu Fei, who was an inhuman monster, could do it twenty levels higher.
This didn't mean that a Level 40 player could kill a Level 50 monster. If it was just killing monsters, 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 40 monsters. Therefore, killing monsters at this level was not considered skipping levels.
In order to truly surpass one's level, one must have the experience of being a level higher. For example, Brother You, who was five levels higher than him but was still as efficient as a Level 40 player, 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 loot, 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 principle very well. The two of them didn't waste any more words. Immediately, Brother You led the way to his usual leveling spot. In reality, leveling up for Knights was the same as leveling for Clerics. Forming a team was the most efficient way. However, after Level 40, Dark Knights possessed powerful destructive power. After changing classes to Diablo, the former support Knights all had the heart to deal damage. Hence, when leveling up with a team, they didn't carefully buff everyone. Instead, they bravely charged to the frontlines.
This kind of half-heartedness was, of course, very displeasing. After all, most players in charge of dealing damage thought of themselves as masters and treated the support classes as servants. As servants, instead of serving their masters, they actually rushed to steal their jobs. How could these masters tolerate this? Moreover, the Knight class was simply an accelerator. Without a Knight, the players would just slow down their leveling speed. It wasn't a big deal. Moreover, there were many girls in the Cleric army. This was an innate advantage that Knights couldn't compare to. Hence, as a support class, Knights were treated far worse than Clerics.
Now that Knights had changed classes to Diablo, they had the strength to train solo. When leveling up with a team, no one would give them any face. Knights also took out the airs of a master and would no longer compromise. They all walked towards the era of solo adventuring. However, Brother You didn't belong to this situation. As the King of Intelligence, Brother You mainly leveled up by completing quests. Occasionally, he would join a team and farm monsters. Now that he had the idea of mainly farming monsters, it had to be said that it was influenced by the environment.
In the team that Brother You was in, there was no need to talk about the killing Gu Fei. The rest of them were also characters that could take charge of an area. Even the most unmotivated person would inevitably want to improve themselves in such a team. Brother You also gradually felt that it was embarrassing to always slack off during battles.
Currently, the monsters that Brother You frequently farmed were the Bonfire Patrols in the White Stone City Wilderness Camp. They were Level 44 – 46, Warrior Class, and their weapons were one-handed swords. At the same time, they also carried a torch, which was also a powerful weapon in battle. When hit, 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 setting of the game was obviously to encourage players to form teams. The higher the level of the monsters, the more they would live in groups. For example, those monsters that formed groups of three to five and had a chain of aggro were very difficult to farm, let alone those of a higher level. Fortunately, the game company didn't completely forget about those lone wolves who liked to train alone. They more or less created some small monsters that were suitable for solo leveling. The Bonfire Patrols were one of them. Moreover, they were the favorite choice of ordinary players in the Level 40 – 50 stage.
This could be seen from the scene in front of him that there were indeed many players training in the wilderness camp. However, they all fought for themselves, guarding their own little space and quietly farming monsters. The reason why there were so many players who had the ability to solo monsters five levels higher was because of the difficulty of leveling up in the game. The high EXP requirement caused players to stay at the same stage 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 players would be able to upgrade their equipment. The advantage of Pioneers was precisely 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 an unoccupied corner.
Brother You had come here many times in the past two days, but he had never been here at this time. He had learned from the Han Family Young Master and waited until the dead of night when there were fewer players online to level up. Therefore, he had never encountered this kind of problem. The two of them had already walked half a circle, but there was actually no place left. Gu Fei was very helpless, and Brother You was very depressed.
"What should we do?" Gu Fei asked.
Brother You hoped that Gu Fei would instantly clear out an empty space. However, he also knew that although Gu Fei was a ruthless person, he was not an unreasonable person. He could only sigh and say, "Let's walk a little more. If there's really nothing left … let's come back next time!"
"Okay!" Gu Fei responded and continued to look for a place. In the end, they did not find a place, but there were many players like them who were looking for a place. Therefore, Gu Fei began to take the initiative. He asked around if the players who were training were ready to leave. However, this behavior did not seem to be very popular. The players who were asked harshly said that they would train until they died.
However, there were still good people in the world. Gu Fei and Brother You asked around. Everyone saw that they were eager to level up. Finally, someone took pity on them and took the initiative to wave at them. "Hey, you two, over here."
The two of them looked at each other. After confirming that the 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.
"You two are training together?" The person asked curiously. This was a famous solo training spot in White Stone City. Unless one of them was a freeloader, the two people in front of them were clearly 40 + EXP players.
"We're not training. We're using monsters for research." Gu Fei said honestly.
"Research?" The player was confused.
"Researching efficient methods of killing monsters." Gu Fei said.
The player was obviously interested in Gu Fei's words. He asked with great interest, "How do you research?"
"You have to get monsters." Gu Fei laughed.
At this time, there were no monsters spawning in this player's little world. In such a popular leveling spot, wanting to occupy a large area and continuously kill monsters was an extravagant hope. It was already good to have two or three monsters spawning for you to guard. Most players only guarded one, so there was no need to mention how difficult it was.
"This place is about to spawn. Research one for me to see." The player smiled and pointed at the empty space in front of him. He said to Gu Fei.
"Okay!" Gu Fei unsheathed his sword.
"Sword?" The player's eyeballs almost fell out. A Mage used a sword. He quickly thought of a terrifying Legend. He quickly used Identify and his eyeballs really did fall out. The sword in Gu Fei's hand was an extremely ordinary 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. He wanted to play with the monsters for as long as possible.
With a flash of white light, the monsters spawned. Gu Fei rolled up his sleeves and smiled at the kind-hearted player, "Let's begin." After saying this, he struck out with 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 say anything. 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 most exciting part was yet to come!
The exciting attack that made Brother You feel like 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.
"Ahhhhh …" 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 for a moment.
Brother You smiled mysteriously. He realized that having a friend like Gu Fei was really something to be proud of.
"This, this, this … What do you mean by that!" The player finally said something.
"Ahem, this …" Brother You was about to say a few words when he suddenly heard a series of exclamations. The surrounding players were 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.
Damn, it seems like I'm a little too proud … Brother You thought.
