Chapter 108: Squad Token

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

While Li Yi was farming monsters, a message suddenly popped up with a ding sound.

Li Yi raised his hand and killed the last Desert Sandworm he had attracted. Then, he hid in a nearby rock and opened the message.

[CK: Bro, where are you?]

[CD: Leveling up.]

[CK: Where are you leveling up? Bring me along.]

Li Yi looked at the level next to Clutch King’s name in front of him and thought for a moment.

Although the nightmare dungeon only required the captain to be level 25, the level difference between the others was too big, and it would cause quite a bit of trouble if they went in with such low levels.

Take the difficult dungeon that he had brought with him earlier for example. Because the level was not too high, the damage was not enough, and they had almost all been wiped out when the final boss used its ultimate move.

Although this time they were challenging the same dungeon with increasing difficulty, the strength of their teammates must be closely equal, else there was no coordination. It would also be very difficult for Li Yi to fight alone were they to die.

In this kind of situation, after experiencing it many times, he would feel more at ease if everyone was able to fend for themselves.

They should be familiar with how dungeons work now. However, every time he led a team to challenge a dungeon, he would be mentally and physically exhausted after. This was the most difficult thing for Li Yi.

The previous missions were still bearable. Initially, he thought that other than encountering special missions like Deaths Descent, the other missions should be easy. However, in the previous level 20 difficult dungeons… His strength could not keep up with the mission that almost caused them to fail.

One time was enough for him to worry immensely, there was absolutely no way it could happen again.

Since Clutch King had come to look for him, he would take him along to level up, and at the very least, he had to make sure that Clutch King reached level 25 as well.

At this thought, Li Yi replied to Clutch King.

[CD: Come, I’m at coordinates ***, *** come quickly.]

[CK: Okay.]

After reading Clutch King’s reply, Li Yi thought of another person. He opened his friend list, and coincidentally, her gray profile picture lit up.

Li Yi hurriedly sent a message.

[CD: Where are you?]

[SC: I just came online.]

[CD: Want to level up?]

[SC: Sure.]

[CD: Coordinates are ***, ***. Come quickly, I’ve also notified Clutch King.]

[SC: Got it. I’ll be right there.]

He only texted two people, looking at the few insect monsters here, Li Yi frowned.

This remote and barren are does not have enough monsters. Only the Desert Sandworm are able to survive in such harsh weather,

If Li Yi grinds the monster alone, the efficiency would be adequate, but now three people would need to fight for the same number of monsters here.

Their efficiency would definitely decrease. If they wanted to increase their levels efficiently, they would have to change locations. However, where would they be able to go to increase their levels the quickest?

This was another problem that just popped into his mind. In Li Yi’s mind, many locations that were suitable for a party to farm monsters had already been occupied by those guilds. He did not want to cause trouble.

As a non-guild member, if he wanted to lead a party to level up, he would have to find other tougher places to grind.

Sigh… Sometimes, even with the advantages of his previous life, some problems that he would inevitably face would still appear. Right now, other than Li Yi’s strong personal ability, in this online game world, there were still many things that a person could not achieve.

Although he did not want to admit it, having the help of a guild member could indeed reduce many unnecessary troubles in many aspects.

Of course, each guild also had its own troubles.

Faced with this dilemma, Li Yi felt an oncoming headache.

At this time, Clutch King and Snow Chaser had almost arrived.

The three of them started to farm monsters in tacit understanding.

Clutch King drew all the insect monsters around him. Although he was low-level and had little HP, he was very fast and could quickly draw the insect monsters over in a large area.

When the insect monsters were at a certain distance, Li Yi ordered Snow Chaser to start casting her spells.

Halfway through the spells, the Desert Sandworm would arrive in front of him.

Li Yi used the same trick as before, using Raging Blood Roar to stun the insect monsters and give them a heavy blow.

“Raging Blood Roar!”

“-32,310! Critical Hit!”

“-15,210!”

“-15,110!”

“-15,100!”

The surrounding insect monsters were all in a stunned state. Li Yi and Clutch King walked over to the monsters while Snow chaser simultaneously casted more spells.

“Thunder Fury!”

“-5,231! Critical Hit!”

“-1,821!”

“-1,811!”

“-1,710!”

The insect monsters had just woken up from their stunned state when they were struck by lightning again. Soon, a large number of insect monsters were killed in the area, leaving the barely alive ones for Li Yi and Clutch King to harvest.

[System Notification: You have killed Level 26 Desert Sandworm (normal), obtained 12,080 EXP]

[Talent Trigger: Obtained 140 HP, 0.14 HP recovery/second.]

The entire process was smooth, and Li Yi was very happy to see this result.

Before they started, Li Yi only told them the process once before he started to take action, and Clutch King had become very serious after the start.

In the past, whenever he had started to take action, he had always talked and laughed, but now, as long as the mission began, he would remain solemn.

It seemed that the Goblin incident had had a very heavy impact on him.

In fact, when Clutch King had been able to fight against the players with Li Yi and the others in the Divine War, he had been absolutely powerful. Usually, powerful people would have an inexplicable sense of high self-esteem.

He could admit that he was strong, but he could never be defeated by someone weaker than him. That sense of humiliation was the biggest blow to such people who treasured being strong.

This reminded Li Yi of an anime he had seen before. One of the warriors called Bejita had been holding a grudge because he had lost to a warrior whose level was lower than his. In the end, he would rather be controlled by the villain Devil Man to become stronger than to fight that warrior just to save his ego.

Li Yi was also this kind of person, and he deeply understood Clutch King’s feelings. It was precisely because of this that he had deliberately let Clutch King face the Goblins. This was because he knew that Clutch King could be even stronger than he had been in his previous life; as long as he changed his temperament, he would improve.

Li Yi took a quick look at his EXP bar. It was already two-thirds filled, and he was getting closer and closer to level 25. It was clearly three people sharing experience, but not only did the experience not decrease, it actually increased. Apparently, this was the effect of the Squad Token, with Clutch King and Snow Chaser around, his leveling speed was actually faster.

However, when he looked around, he saw that all the insect monsters had already been killed. Due to this place being very remote, the speed at which the monsters were killed was also much slower than other places. Each time they respawned, it would take at least ten minutes, which was too much of a waste of time to grind. He looked at Clutch King and Snow Chaser behind him and decided to take them to a higher-level grinding area to kill monsters.

“This place is no longer suitable for us. Come, let’s go level up somewhere else..”
