Our leveling speed... won't it make them both envious to death?

Chapter 48: Won't They Be Envious of My Leveling Speed?

Poof! Poof! Poof!

[Jointly killed Raider, Experience +10]

Poof! Poof! Poof!

[Jointly killed Raider, Experience +10]

[Jointly.]

Cheng Shaofeng, Forgiveness Hat, and Xiao Xiao each landed a Golden Critical Hit, finishing off the stunned Raiders.

Cheng Shaofeng counted: there were 51 regular Raiders and 2 Raider Elites.

Before they had even killed half of them, Xiao Xiao's watch vibrated violently!

Fortunately, it was the electronic device strapped to her wrist that vibrated, not some other location, or it might have affected her entire body's coordination.

[Congratulations on reaching Level 2, personal attributes increased, gained 3 skill points and 1 attribute point.]

[Personal attribute panel unlocked, skill tree panel unlocked.]

[You may choose a profession for advancement.]

Bang!

A burst of energy erupted from Xiao Xiao's body. Her bones and blood surged with power, and the Phantasmal Erosion wounds she had sustained earlier healed completely.

Forgiveness Hat had anticipated this. "You get 10 Experience for hitting a Quality piece of equipment. I crafted three weapons earlier, which gave me 30 points. Withstanding the illusion just now gave me 300 points, and killing 17 Raiders leveled me up perfectly. The Experience I collected is slightly higher than yours, but I was 100 Experience short of leveling up from the illusion just now. If I'd killed five more, I would have leveled up too."

Cheng Shaofeng didn't let the other two players dwell on it.

"Let's finish off these damn Raiders first. We can research the improvements to our abilities back at the base. You guys should learn your own skills too."

The three of them continued to kill the Raiders. Just as they were about to wake up, all of them were finally dealt with.

By this time, most of the townspeople had also woken up. They glanced at the pile of Raider corpses outside, then at the three people holding their weapons, their figures shining like gods of war in the sunlight.

Salt Well Town Residents: ==(●●|||)

They were stunned!

Just moments ago, they were facing utter destruction, and the residents were prepared to die with the town. Then, this massive horde of Raiders suddenly vanished!

An old man living in the town pulled out a leg from his stool, ready to launch a surprise attack on the Raiders.

At this moment, the old man looked at his now three-legged stool, and a wave of heartache washed over him.

"It's gone... Now I truly know what 'gone' means."

The town's hunters glanced at their hunting rifles, which were their livelihood, and suddenly lost confidence.

"Guns aren't a solution for everything."

"Shaofeng is so strong, why did he suddenly become like this?"

"The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation. Seeing Shaofeng use cold weapons, he's probably mutated... Maybe he's even developed reproductive isolation from us now!"

"Hiss~ I've long heard that the place called Red City hides many secrets. Those who return alive from there gain a lot. It seems Xiao Feng also obtained something."

The captain of the guard, Lin Lei, stood with his mouth agape for a long time. It wasn't until someone beside him reminded him that he needed to say something that he snapped back to reality.

He jogged over to Cheng Shaofeng and grasped his hand tightly.

"Brother Feng, I admit I spoke a bit too loudly to you before. Please don't hold it against me..."

Who would dare mess with this guy?

Three people, slaughtering 53 Raiders!

It was terrifying!

They were clearly humans who had gained mysterious powers, just like in the Wasteland legends.

Cheng Shaofeng was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted, saying humbly, "Oh, it was nothing... I just passed by and saw it. We're all from the same town, so I helped out. It was just a small matter. Everyone, carry on with what you were doing!"

If I don't show off now, when will I?

The female ghost isn't out, so this display of coolness is... flawless!

Hearing this, Lin Lei's heart was further reassured that Cheng Shaofeng was no longer the same person. He quickly said, "There are so many bodies, why don't we help you deal with them?"

"Ah! We do need your help. Lin, Captain, go get us some small carts, load all these bodies onto them, and help me transport them to a friend of mine. He has a use for these bodies."

"Hiss~ Raider corpses can be used too?" Lin Lei was greatly shocked.

"It's just for research. Is that convenient?"

"Convenient! Of course, it's convenient!"

Not having to fight these Raiders head-on, just transporting something, was naturally no problem.

Lin Lei went to arrange for people to load the bodies.

At this moment, three people ran over from the opposite hillside.

Wang Qian, Wang Wan, and Xiao Hao.

Xiao Xiao and Forgiveness Hat were so startled by the appearance of the two people that they immediately raised their weapons.

"Holy crap! The ghosts are back!?"

Cheng Shaofeng's heart sank, but he felt the female ghost wouldn't bother creating another illusion to attack him, so he felt a bit more at ease.

Wang Qian shouted, "Xiao Feng! You guys are still alive? What happened here just now?"

Wang Wan grinned as he looked at the corpses of the Raiders scattered everywhere.

"Wow, I was worried those Raiders would actually take Salt Well Town. How did they all end up here?"

Wang Hao shook his arm. "Brother Feng, are you okay?"

Cheng Shaofeng patted Xiao Hao.

"I'm fine. This… it's a long story, and I can't explain it clearly. In short, Salt Well Town has survived the Raider invasion. We just dealt with all of them, and there won't be any more Raiders attacking the town from now on."

Wang Wan and his brother exchanged glances, seeing the speculation in each other's eyes.

"Xiao Feng, I know. It must have been that mysterious power, right? I heard from merchants in Colossus City that there are many mysterious powers in this world that are beyond our human understanding."

Cheng Shaofeng nodded, offering no explanation.

Wang Qian sighed, "What a coincidence. We also met three very powerful people today. They dared to confront the Raiders head-on. When they were hit by the Raiders, they didn't cry out or yelp, just stood up and continued fighting as if they felt no pain, with extremely high fighting will! And the spears they held glowed, piercing through the thick-skinned Raiders until they died. If it weren't for those three, Xiao Hao might have…"

Cheng Shaofeng listened, and the more he heard, the more something felt off.

How did this sound more and more like Thin Dog and his group?

"Are the people you're talking about two tall ones and one shorter one? Wearing green clothes and speaking in a language you don't understand?"

"Huh? Yes, yes! How did you know? Have you seen them too?"

Cheng Shaofeng: (⊙_⊙)!!

They weren't fearless of pain?

It was because the clones' pain coefficient had been adjusted to 10%!

They could also drink potions to heal, and as long as they didn't die, they could be saved.

Even if they died, they could be revived.

In this world... only players truly dared to risk their lives, since they had more than one life anyway.

"I do know them. They're actually my subordinates. You'll probably see them often in the future, so you'll get used to it."

"Hiss~ Your subordinates?"

Did Xiao Feng start his own faction?

Wang Qian and Wang Wan felt that the little brother they used to look after had suddenly become mysterious.

After Salt Well Town passed the crisis, it returned to its usual state.

Cheng Shaofeng sold the 23 Icefire Mushrooms to Zheng Juan at the general store. When she learned that Cheng Shaofeng possessed mysterious powers, she became even more eager to please, revealing her large breasts and almost wanting to push Cheng Shaofeng's hand into them.

Cheng Shaofeng said: "Stay away from me!"

He sold the Icefire Mushrooms for 690 yuan, then exchanged them for various daily necessities like a small cart, tools, sacks, Beans, and salt. He also bought all the Electronic Components from the town's shops at a low price. His backpack was already full of fragmented junk, items that wouldn't fetch any money if sold to caravans.

But Cheng Shaofeng could use them.

Of course, these supplies were being pushed by Lin Lei, who was eagerly finding people to help.

A total of 10 small carts were loaded and neatly transported to the Calamity Base.

Beside a stream not far from Raider Camp 1.

Three players sat on the ground, with the corpses of four Raiders lying beside them.

Thin Dog: "Phew! That was close! Four Raiders together were too difficult to fight! We had to use terrain advantages, flanking attacks, and constant repositioning, and we lost three healing potions before we finally took them down."

Thin Dog, Demonic Fox, and Lin Tang had defeated these Raiders.

Demonic Fox summarized: "Although the process was troublesome, our rewards were also very generous! Each of us gained a full 32 Experience! If we keep gaining like this, we'll be able to level up the day after tomorrow!"

Thin Dog's lips curled. "And there are still Skeletons in the cellar. If these things were endless, we three would have had a blast farming today! We'll definitely reach level 2 tomorrow. This leveling speed will make Forgiveness Hat and Xiao Xiao so jealous, right?"

Lin Tang: "That's for sure! They can't be jealous of just our Loot! That's what being a professional means, isn't it!?"

"Hahahaha!"

The three sat in the Raider camp, letting out hearty laughter, feeling that the future was bright.
