Shi Feng's Advancing Team

Summoner Gluttonous Mouse felt a sudden surge of tension at Shi Feng's words. He didn't understand what Shi Feng wanted him to do, but he knew that if he performed poorly and was kicked from the party by an expert like Shi Feng, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Finding a good party these days wasn't easy, let alone one led by an expert; it was the kind of opportunity one could only dream of!

"Don't worry, I won't have you do anything dangerous. You just need to summon a Flame Sprite and follow my instructions. You don't need to do anything else." Shi Feng smiled, trying to put Gluttonous Mouse at ease.

Summoners weren't very strong these days, mainly because their skills were lackluster. A Summoner's attacks relied primarily on summoned elemental creatures, while their basic attacks were just Magic Missiles with very low damage. However, a Summoner with top-tier skills could be as effective as an entire army, especially those capable of summoning powerful elemental creatures, making short work of elite monsters.

"Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely get it done," Gluttonous Mouse said loudly, his tone filled with the same reverence a student might show a teacher.

"The rest of you, stay away from that rock. It's best to keep a distance of 20 yards and be careful not to aggro other monsters," Shi Feng said, turning to the others.

"Yes, Captain!"

The others answered just as loudly, their attitudes completely different from before.

Shi Feng was slightly surprised by their behavior; why were they all acting so obedient?

However, Shi Feng didn't know that his display of stone-throwing earlier had already left them stunned.

Everyone was in awe of Shi Feng's stone-throwing technique. The precision and skill involved were definitely beyond the reach of an ordinary person; even professional players probably couldn't do better.

Worshipping the strong was a common phenomenon in games, and these level 1 rookies were no exception.

At this moment, the way they looked at Shi Feng had changed. If they had previously thought of him as a decent leader, they now worshipped him as an expert, which filled them with a faint sense of awe.

Heizi, standing to the side, patted Lonely As Snow on the shoulder and said smugly, "How about that? It's not bad hanging out with Brother Feng, right?"

Lonely As Snow nodded silently, feeling lucky that following Shi Feng was the right choice. Shi Feng was definitely a veteran from the closed beta; such techniques required immense experience and practice, and only a closed beta player could possibly possess them.

"Hahaha, what are your plans for the future?" Heizi asked suddenly. He had already set his sights on Lonely As Snow. Kele was 100% going to join them, but Lonely As Snow didn't have a clear direction yet, so he wanted to recruit him into their workshop—even if that workshop was still just a pipe dream.

"The future?" Lonely As Snow hadn't considered it. He was just an ordinary player who wanted to earn a little money from the game; he had no grand ambitions. He answered honestly, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"I think your skills are pretty good. Why not join us for now?" Heizi said casually.

"Really?" Lonely As Snow, who had been worrying about his future and where to go, was surprised by the offer. If he could team up with experts, that would be perfect.

"Of course, but it will depend on your performance. We don't just take anyone," Heizi said, feigning the arrogant tone of an expert.

"Thank you, Brother Heizi," Lonely As Snow said happily, surprised by his good fortune in being noticed by experts.

Seeing that Lonely As Snow had agreed, Heizi breathed a sigh of relief. He was currently riding on Shi Feng's coattails; he couldn't help Shi Feng much in God's Domain, but he could certainly help with management.

The workshop didn't even exist yet, they were saddled with a debt of 16,000 points, and the only members were Shi Feng and himself. It was arguably the poorest and worst workshop in history. If anyone knew the truth, they would turn and run, so he had to play the part of an expert to attract people.

At that moment, Shi Feng was explaining the plan to the Summoner. He instructed Gluttonous Mouse to use the Flame Sprite to lure the remaining six Night Rabbits. Since the Night Rabbit closest to the boss was gone, luring the others wouldn't aggro the boss, so it was safe to proceed. As for the Night Rabbit that had strayed from the group, he had Kele lure it aside to kill it.

The Flame Sprite was extremely weak, with a pitiful 50 HP, meaning it would be killed in a single hit. However, it was incredibly fast and small, making it very difficult to hit.

"Start the operation. Mouse, remember to keep a distance of at least 4 yards and circle around the rock," Shi Feng reminded him again.

Gluttonous Mouse nodded and carefully maneuvered the Flame Sprite to lure the six Night Rabbits. When they were within 35 yards, the nearest elite Night Rabbit spotted the Flame Sprite and immediately turned to charge at it, with the other Night Rabbits following close behind.

Seeing that the Night Rabbits had taken the bait, Gluttonous Mouse immediately had the Flame Sprite run away. The six Night Rabbits gave chase, but they couldn't match the sprite's speed. Before long, they were led to the base of the large rock, where they began circling it in pursuit of the sprite.

On the other side, Kele had already intercepted the stray Night Rabbit. While defending, he used his new skill, Holy Strike. With the effects of two pieces of Bronze Equipment, Holy Strike dealt 26 damage in one hit, significantly higher than the 11 or 12 damage from a basic attack. Furthermore, Holy Strike generated additional aggro, making it much easier to hold the monster's attention.

Before long, the stray Night Rabbit was finished off, dropping 5 coppers.

With that Night Rabbit dealt with, only the six circling the large rock remained.

"I'll lure one out; Kele, be ready to take aggro," Shi Feng said, picking up another small stone and throwing it at the Night Rabbit running at the back of the pack.

The Night Rabbit, struck on the head, rubbed its skull and turned to look behind it. It spotted Shi Feng, who had thrown the stone, and flew into a rage. With a burst of strength in its legs, it hopped toward Shi Feng, while the other Night Rabbits, failing to notice their companion was missing, continued happily chasing the Flame Sprite.

"Take the aggro!" Shi Feng shouted as soon as the Night Rabbit was 20 yards away from the group.

Kele charged forward and slammed a Holy Strike onto the Night Rabbit's head.

The Night Rabbit's aggro shifted immediately, and it swiped its claws at Kele's head. However, Kele reacted quickly, dodging the attack with a sidestep before using Retribution to further solidify his aggro.

"Everyone, focus your fire!"

Seeing Kele's performance, Shi Feng clapped silently. He hadn't expected Kele to be such a fast learner. After only a dozen or so skirmishes, he had already grasped the Night Rabbits' attack patterns. He was truly worthy of being a top main tank for a first-rate guild ten years later; his potential was limitless.

In less than twenty seconds, the Night Rabbit in front of Kele collapsed, dropping a Swordsman skill book: Double Strike.

Shi Feng didn't stand on ceremony and learned it immediately.

Double Strike: Action-type, requires a sword. Quickly deals two hits, each strike dealing 120% + 15 damage. Simultaneously applies a 20% bleed effect for 10 seconds, stackable up to 5 times. Cooldown: 8 seconds. Level 1, Proficiency 0/300.

This book significantly increased Shi Feng's burst damage. As for the issue of needing to adapt to the skill, that didn't exist for Shi Feng. Having played a Swordsman for ten years, every skill was etched into his marrow; as soon as he acquired a skill, he could unleash its maximum potential.

The remaining five Night Rabbits were lured out one by one and killed. As the last one fell, a golden light erupted from Shi Feng, and he leveled up to level 2.

At the same time, the five Night Rabbits contributed a piece of Bronze-grade plate armor for a Guardian Knight to the party. This boosted Kele's HP to 390 and his defense to 56, providing him with much-needed resilience for the upcoming fight against the Night Rabbit leader, Wilmi.
