Resurrection Pearl Grinds BOSS to Death, Pushing Level Lock to the Very End!

There was a way, which was to let Zheng Dong leave. He would use his death and resurrection to wear them down.

He would lose experience upon death, but he had the Resurrection Pearl and Noble rank 6, which could exempt him several times.

So he said to Zheng Dong, "It's getting a bit late, you should head back. I'll handle this sea monster alone."

Zheng Dong was taken aback, then nodded.

He didn't ask any further questions.

He trusted that since Can Xue said so, he must have a plan.

So Zheng Dong left alone.

Gao Linzhi was very satisfied.

This was excellent.

This way, he wouldn't have to waste his breath.

He looked out at the sea. Beneath the calm surface, a Stingfish King was hidden.

Gao Linzhi waited until Zheng Dong left, then looked at his pet, the Corpse Vine.

It grew relatively slowly. It was currently level 3 with 40 Constitution. Being out at sea, it was useless here.

He was currently Noble rank 5, enjoying privileges: forced logout deducts only 10% experience, killing monsters increases experience by 50%, pet breakthrough chance increases by 50%, minimap issues a danger warning 5 minutes in advance, and death penalty is waived once daily.

He thought of a way to exploit a bug: whenever he was about to be killed, he would forcibly log out, recover, and then log back in.

This was an ability only true players had. Others couldn't do this; they only had one life, and forcibly logging out would deduct a large amount of experience.

If played poorly, they would truly die.

After making his decision, Gao Linzhi scanned the sea and found a reef area.

Then he allocated his existing 4000 experience points entirely to Basic Spear Techniques.

Basic Spear Techniques was raised to level 40, his Constitution reached 71 points, and his HP reached 710 points.

Afterward, he put on a set of green equipment, boosting his HP to 900 points and his Constitution to 80 points.

He naturally couldn't use this equipment when Zheng Dong was around, but now he could.

He rowed his boat and stood on a reef, then took out his bow and arrow, aiming fiercely at the Stingfish in the distance and firing an arrow.

The arrow flew over five hundred meters before falling weakly into the water, stirring up a ripple.

The next moment, "Clang!"

A huge splash erupted, and the Stingfish King emerged from beneath the water.

It quickly spotted the provocateur in the distance.

Accelerate, charge!

No nonsense!

Its glittering, hard spine was like a spear. Its body, over five meters long, was comparable to a sea tank, charging forward with a roar!

Anyone else would have been paralyzed with fear!

After all, they only had one life.

Gao Linzhi took a deep breath and calmly shot an arrow.

The arrow hit the Stingfish King, but its tough hide easily blocked it. The steel arrowhead didn't even leave a scratch.

If this monster appeared in the real world, it could easily take down many fishing boats without heavy weaponry.

The Stingfish King was unharmed and became even angrier. It let out a strange hiss, similar to a whale's cry.

They were a mile apart, yet the Stingfish King closed the distance in just one minute!

Gao Linzhi fiercely thrust his spear forward, then forcibly logged out.

"You dealt 150 damage to the Stingfish King."

"Due to forced logout, you only lost 10% of your experience due to Noble rank 5 privilege. Your current experience is 0, with no loss."

Good heavens, it really was a flawed game. Exploiting a bug like this was easy.

Excellent, only about 100 more stabs needed.

The next moment, Gao Linzhi found himself logged out of the game.

He opened his eyes and saw he was still in the wooden cabin in the mountain ravine.

"You were forcibly logged out. Your game character remained in place for 5 seconds and was killed by the Stingfish King."

"You are a normal player and can choose to revive normally, revive on the spot, or revive at a safe point. Your current level is 1, and the revive cooldown is 24 hours."

"Your current level is 1. You can consume 1 Skyfall Stone to clear the revive cooldown, or use your Noble rank 5 privilege to waive one penalty."

"You can also use the Resurrection Pearl to waive the revival cost. Do you wish to use it?"

"Use 1 Skyfall Stone to clear the cooldown."

Gao Linzhi thought to himself. Since it only cost 1 Skyfall Stone to clear the cooldown, he wouldn't waste his Noble rank 5 privilege. He'd save it as a last resort.

From now on, develop good habits. If the Skyfall Stones run out one day, he'll still have a fallback.

Seeing these prompts, he knew others couldn't emulate him.

They couldn't pay to play. Even if they had the talent and items to revive, they would still suffer from a resurrection cooldown.

Moreover, they were often at high levels, meaning their resurrection times would be incredibly long.

But now, he had revived and could log back in.

The next moment, he reappeared on the reef.

At this moment, the Stingfish King, shaking its head and wagging its tail, was about to leave.

Gao Linzhi shot it with his bow and then stabbed it with his spear!

"You dealt 137 damage."

The bow was indeed just scratching the surface; he still had to rely on the spear.

In this way, he consumed 102 Skyfall Stones and finally wore down the Stingfish King.

"You have killed the Level 25 BOSS, Stingfish King, and gained 2500 experience points."

"You have obtained King Sting (Blue)."

He now possessed 8356 Skyfall Stones.

This BOSS kill was incredibly rewarding.

The biggest reward was confirming that his decision to cap his level was correct.

This was a game mechanic, a strategy that was impossible to find elsewhere.

Because other players couldn't pay, they were playing an incomplete game.

Killing the Stingfish King meant this underwater monster nest had been opened up.

Next time, if the Stingfish King reappeared, he could repeat the process.

Also, after killing it, it would take a long time to respawn.

Thus, Gao Linzhi continued to grind monsters at sea.

By evening, he had gained a full 5000 experience points.

This was more generous than grinding in the fox den or crab beach.

Of course, this couldn't compare to ordinary online games.

Fortunately, leveling up here was simple, with everything costing 100 points per level.

He now had 7500 experience points, but he didn't use them directly, saving them instead.

Afterward, he returned to the Fourth Elder's house in the village to rest.

A week later.

Gao Linzhi had finally settled into a stable, routine online gaming life.

Every day, he would wake up, take care of his basic needs, and then go grind monsters.

After grinding, he would go rest.

In a week, he had accumulated a full 70,000 experience points.

Now he had a total of 77,500 experience points!

He was living a comfortable and fulfilling life.

This reminded him of his days playing Legend, staying up all night and grinding from level 1 to 22 within a week.

But unlike then, every point of experience now directly translated into his own strength.

He was still capped at level 1.

He had even decided that unless a better game feature module appeared, he wouldn't plan on leveling up.

After all, other players had to level up to gain free attribute points for their constitution, while he could increase his through a large number of basic skills.

The benefits of staying at level 1 were numerous.

Firstly, he gained experience from fighting any monster, allowing him to grind experience safely, stably, and efficiently.

More importantly, the death penalty could be reset by spending 1 Skyfall Stone.
