Skeleton Soldier's Evolution!

The aftershock subsided, and the dust settled.

Looking at the dismembered limbs and upturned Cave Spiders all over the ground, as well as the Skeleton Soldier tightly clutching its Bone Spear, Leon nodded approvingly while lowering his Magic Wand.

"Not bad."

It seemed this Skeleton Soldier could still be used for a long time.

Of course.

The main thing was that he kited well.

Looking at the mess around him, Hu Wan, clutching his Bone Spear, felt a tightening in his chrysanthemum.

Seeing that Lord Demon Lord's chanting had finally stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief and slid down from the Bone Spear.

So, this is power?

While they were still calculating the attack rhythm of the Cave Spiders, Lord Demon Lord simply waved his hand and slapped all these bugs to death.

Damn it...

Had he, who aspired to become the number one thief in Calamity Online, chosen the wrong profession?

He wasn't the only one with similar thoughts.

Qian Li, standing next to him, felt the same way.

Lord Demon Lord's awe-inspiring posture had left an indelible impression on her mind.

Should she try Magic Swordsman? But before that, she should probably change her Skeleton class.

In a couple of days, she should have enough Contribution Points to upgrade her Soul Level, but she wondered when the development team planned to release new classes.

At this moment, the players didn't know that the ceiling of combat power in Calamity Online in their eyes was actually just the ceiling of North Peak Mine.

Leon opened his attribute panel to check the gains and found that the Experience Points he had obtained were less than he had expected.

"...More than three hundred Cave Spiders only gave me over 20,000 experience; is it because the level difference is too big?"

In his memory, One Leaf Knows Autumn and Hu Wan seemed to have leveled up from LV0 to LV3 after killing more than ninety Cave Spiders.

Leveling up three times should require more than 30,000 experience in total.

And that was with two people sharing the experience! Since the Contribution Points were issued by You You, Leon knew the players' progress like the back of his hand.

"As expected, if I want to get higher experience gains, I have to challenge stronger monsters."

"Or—"

"I can only make up for the lack of quality with quantity."

Leon took out a small Blue Potion from his pocket, bit off the cork, and poured it into his mouth.

A warm sensation spread from his abdomen to his whole body, eventually converging in the depths of his brow.

The feeling of fatigue was swept away, and the originally depleted MP bar was filled again.

Once the potion took effect, Leon quickly recovered, looking at the players beside him with an unfathomable expression.

"It's time to clear the next area."

As he spoke, he took out four tubes of magic potions and threw them into their hands.

"Go, attract the attention of those spiders... you know what to do."

With the previous demonstration by the Hu Wan brothers, the remaining four players didn't need to be taught at all. They took the magic potions and poured them on their foreheads... obviously, they already knew what they had to do.

Leon was very satisfied.

As expected of pro players, they were a pleasure to use.

Unlike those idiots with strangely shaped IDs, who were either gesturing with their broken swords in front of the statues or thinking about the cats they kept.

What is vision?

This is what you call vision!

Accumulate more Contribution Points and grow stronger together with his Great Cemetery. When the time comes, what breed of cat would he not be able to keep?

If he really couldn't get one... he could become one himself!

Anyway, these players were controlling Soul Mirror Images. Reincarnating was as easy as changing classes in an MMORPG game.

Not only was Leon very satisfied, but the players he was using were also very satisfied.

Doing quests, wasn't it normal to be used? How could that be the same as working?

An NPC who spoke directly to the point, without dragging things out or speaking in riddles, was already very friendly.

The newbie guidance in this game was already scarce. If they still had to guess what the NPC wanted, it would be too frustrating...

In the next few hours, Leon showed the players what efficiency meant.

And the eager players were completely shocked by the inhumanity of this Lord Demon Lord.

Under the latter's command, they set out separately, delving deep into the corridors behind the Great Hall, marking their path as they went, and pulling all the monsters they encountered back to the Great Hall.

The thousands upon thousands of Ratfolk didn't just feed the spiders in a mere "Maze Room," but an entire maze beneath the North Peak Mine! The abundance of food greatly stimulated the spiders' desire to reproduce. When the Skeletons smeared with pheromones entered their feeding area, each and every one of those lazy bugs instantly became as excited as a [Boar-Headed Knight] seeing a Succubus.

They were almost screaming, "Mine, mine!"

Even though it was just a pile of skeletons, even if they really caught these guys, besides getting covered in bone dust, it seemed like... they couldn't do anything?

In short, the players acting as tools got to experience what it felt like to be a Succubus in advance.

They each led the monsters to the Great Hall, and then it was the Lord Demon Lord's performance.

If there weren't many spiders, he would wave his Magic Wand and throw Bone Spears to Slaughter them one by one.

If a large wave of spiders came at once, he would first throw a Bone Spear to mark a safe zone on the open space, and then directly release an AoE skill to bombard and Slaughter the Cave Spiders in droves.

In addition, he would occasionally sit down to take a potion and meditate.

And whenever this happened, the zombie minion behind him would take his place, wielding the greatsword in his hand to Slaughter the spiders chasing after the players one by one.

This game is just too friendly to mages! The more One Leaf Knows Autumn observed, the more envious he became, wishing the game developers would immediately add a top-up button.

His requirements weren't high.

As long as he could cast spells, he could accept being a Skeleton Soldier or a Slime!

Time passed bit by bit, and the spider corpses lying in the Great Hall piled up into a small mountain.

Scarlet and pale yellow liquids gathered into streams in the Great Hall, adding a touch of horror to the spiderweb-covered hall.

As more and more Cave Spiders flipped over, not only did Leon's Experience Points increase rapidly, but the players responsible for luring the monsters also got a taste of the action.

Although the Experience Points contributed by each monster were not much due to the low damage ratio, the advantage was in the quantity! With thousands of Cave Spiders combined, even if each spider only contributed double-digit Experience Points, that was still tens of thousands of Experience Points! The Experience Points cap for Lv3 was only 30,000 in total, and One Leaf Knows Autumn's Experience Points bar was filled up without him even realizing it.

And at the moment he broke through the LV3 bottleneck, an unexpected change suddenly occurred to him!

"What... what's going on?"

A faint green light emerged from the void, wrapping around One Leaf Knows Autumn.

In an instant, he felt stronger than ever before.

If the Skeleton Soldier he had been controlling before was just his real body with a layer of skin, then he was now terrifyingly strong—both in reaction speed and strength!

A glob of sticky phlegm came whistling, and he, who previously needed to concentrate to dodge it, simply ducked with ease, causing it to land in empty space.

The Cave Spider seemed to be startled by the change in him as well, and its originally swift pace slowed down, as if it wanted to re-evaluate whether this tricky skeleton was worth the risk.

Taking advantage of the spiders' sluggishness, One Leaf Knows Autumn took a few steps back to create distance, then looked down at himself.

He wondered if it was his imagination, but he was surprised to find that his originally weak bones seemed to have become thicker! And not only that—

The sluggish joints were also like they had been oiled, no longer making creaking sounds when moving.

Suddenly realizing something, he immediately opened the attribute panel, and sure enough, he found something unusual in it.

ID: One Leaf Knows Autumn

Race: Skeleton

Soul Level: Black Iron-level (Level Cap LV10)

Level: LV.4 Experience Points: (18/40,000)

HP: (300/300)

MP: (100/100)

Constitution: 3 (+1)

Strength: 6 (+1)

Agility: 3 (+1)

Intelligence: 1 (+1)

Spirit: 1 (+1)

All attributes +1!

Especially the mana bar, Intelligence, and Spirit, which are finally no longer 0!

Looking at the updated attribute panel, One Leaf Knows Autumn's face revealed a look of ecstasy.

At the same time, a line of light green pop-up windows appeared in front of him.

Server Announcement: Congratulations to player "One Leaf Knows Autumn" for becoming the first player on this server to officially advance to "Black Iron-level"! We hope that other players will continue to work hard and create brilliance together with the Great Cemetery!

Looking at the announcement that appeared in front of him, One Leaf Knows Autumn was a little embarrassed in addition to being delighted.

Although he felt the sincerity of the development team from this server-wide announcement, if he had a choice, he would still like to hide his ID.

He is a low-key person and doesn't want to be too flamboyant.

At the same time, not far away, Long Xing Wan Li, Qian Li, Bai Li and others, who had just pulled a wave of monsters and were resting, happened to see this announcement, and their faces also showed envious expressions.

"Someone beat us to it."

"His Contribution Points... have actually exceeded a thousand?!"

"I'm afraid so."

What a pity.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to make the "Long Xing Tian Xia" guild famous in Calamity Online and unite the "Beta Testers".

But now it seems that he can only wait for the next opportunity.

Wan Li: "There's nothing we can do about it. I remember they started farming Cave Spiders yesterday. I'm afraid their Contribution Points are far ahead of us. It's not unfair to lose."

Although they also tried to farm Cave Spiders, the efficiency was too low, and there were casualties.

In the final analysis, the physical fitness of these Skeleton Soldiers is too poor, even worse than his body in reality.

And the Closed Beta qualification for this game is limited, so he can't mobilize the power of the guild, and he can only rely on the power of Qian Li and Bai Li, who also got the Closed Beta qualification.

After weighing the pros and cons, they finally chose the easier-to-bully Ratfolk.

Although the efficiency of earning money and gaining experience has increased, it now seems that it may be a loss.

Hu Wan on the other side didn't feel anything, but felt that this server-wide announcement should have come long ago.

After all, Brother One Leaf had reached Black Iron early in the morning, but he was just a little short on Experience Points.

"...It seems that it's not enough to just increase the Soul Level, I have to increase the actual level as well."

This is relatively fair to civilian players.

After all, the corpses of Cave Spiders can be traded. Whether it's Hell Money or Contribution Points, there's always a way to buy them with money. The reason why they can't be bought now is simply because there are too few people in the server. There will definitely be private transactions in the future... This is unavoidable in any game.

Only Experience Points can only be obtained by fighting yourself.

Even if you spend money to hire someone to help, if you don't deal any damage, you won't be able to get any experience.

Not far away, looking at the Long Xing N Lis who had cheered up again and rushed into the Maze, a certain big BOSS finally showed a smile of success on his face.

That server announcement just now, rather than being a reward for One Leaf Knows Autumn individually, it was more like an encouragement to all the try-hards in the server.

Take a good look, see what real "enterprise-level" understanding of the version looks like!

Starting with a skeleton frame, why is it that some Skeleton Soldiers can reach Black Iron-level in just one day, while others are stuck at lv3 and can't move forward?

If you don't grind, and he doesn't grind, how will my Demon Lord Territory be upgraded? How will we grow bigger and stronger?

Does Your Majesty Demon Lord have to grind personally?

Twisting open another Blue Potion, Leon tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth, raising his arm to wipe the corner of his mouth.

However, to his surprise, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of bright red on his cuff.

Huh? Nosebleed?

Just as he was stunned, a few drops fell next to the tip of his shoe with a patter.

"Your Majesty Demon Lord, you should take care of your body... these magic potions, they aren't without side effects, right?"

You You, floating to the side, looked at Your Majesty Demon Lord with a worried expression, and said softly with concern.

This is already the 7th bottle.

Instinct told it that constantly taking potions wasn't good.

"I'm fine, it's probably just that frequent spellcasting has overloaded my mental network... it's not necessarily the potion's fault."

Maybe his Constitution isn't high enough? He saw the demons chugging bottle after bottle, and they were even drinking beast medicine dosages, and they seemed fine...

Looking at the nosebleed dripping on the ground, Leon also felt a little scared and didn't dare to continue messing around.

"...I should rest for a while before grinding again."
