The Sakast Imperial Sword (Holy Sword) collided with the Krosa Mecha Wreckage (boss), dealing tons of damage.
Soon, a Krosa Mecha Wreckage (boss) fell at Zhou Heng's feet.
[You have killed level 20 boss Krosa Mecha Wreckage] [EXP +500]
Watching his experience surge again, Zhou Heng could not keep a smile from lifting the corners of his mouth.
"Give it to me! Give it to me!!"
Behind him, the enormous horde of Krosa Mecha Wreckage (bosses) surged toward Zhou Heng. Their massive bodies blotted out the sky and sun, and a single glance at them was enough to chill the heart.
Zhou Heng took a deep breath and decided to try fighting on multiple fronts. This was a skill that players entering the world of Boundless Endless had to learn, because no one could guarantee they would never be ganged up on in the future.
So, whenever conditions allowed, it was best to practice fighting at this level as much as possible.
Zhou Heng battled three Krosa Mecha Wreckage (bosses) around him. Using his terrifying movement speed, he kited their attacks while learning how to make this level of combat experience his own.

[Five-minute countdown: 120s]
Fate Hint's five-minute time limit appeared on Zhou Heng's retinas, but he paid it no mind and focused entirely on grinding monsters.
[Five-minute countdown: 100s] [Five-minute countdown: 80s] [Five-minute countdown: 30s]
Zhou Heng raced against the clock, grinding monsters furiously, and finally rose from level 16 to level 17. The random stat increase and the additional 500% stats granted by his class once again landed on Health.
With that, Zhou Heng had gained a total of 1,800 Health from level 11 to level 17.
Meanwhile, where Kailina was.
Kailina had lost consciousness and lay slumped at the hole in the mechanical wall, with the mass of light lodged halfway into her heart.
[Owner detected-clone-Kailina] [Ancient machine god "Eternal Krossa" attempting startup again] [Startup failed. Countdown: 300s] [299] [298] [297]
[Fate is always unpredictable. Five minutes have passed, but the situation has not improved] [Fate offers you hints] [Fate Hint 1: Continue helping the white-haired woman clear out the Krosa Mecha Wreckage (bosses), buying her time to obtain her exclusive item] [Fate Hint 2: Fate Hint 1 may be the best hint]
Zhou Heng chuckled. He had not expected Fate Hint to pull something like this. Wasn't this effectively just one hint?
Still, this hint suited him perfectly. He had not finished grinding yet. Wouldn't gaining just one level be a waste of the entry card that foreign friend had given him?
Zhou Heng began holding out through the second five-minute stretch.
By now, the Krosa Mecha Wreckage (bosses) were rampaging even more violently.
"Give it to me! Give it to me!"
"That's mine! Mine!!!"
The army of Krosa Mecha Wreckage (bosses) roared and bellowed, surging toward Zhou Heng like mad.
Zhou Heng snorted coldly, knowing he could not withstand a charge on this scale head-on. His HP might seem high, but against numbers like these, it was still nowhere near enough.
Zhou Heng began moving around and kiting them, using his movement speed, which far surpassed that of the Krosa Mecha Wreckage (bosses), to whittle away the bosses' HP.

As he fought the Krosa Mecha Wreckage (bosses), Zhou Heng grew increasingly adept at fighting many opponents alone, with a faint sense that he was on the verge of further progress.
Soon, five minutes passed, and Fate Hint sounded again. It was still the same hint: keep buying another five minutes.
This meant that the white-haired woman had once again failed to obtain her exclusive weapon item.
Still, that was fine. It left him enough time to level up.
Otherwise, given the current situation in Frost City, who knew how much time and effort it would take him to reach level 20 max?
Zhou Heng began holding out through the third five-minute round.
[You have killed level 20 boss Krosa Mecha Wreckage] [EXP +500]
[You have advanced to level 18] [Random stat increase: Health +50] [Four-star class effect activated] [Additional Health +250]
Zhou Heng had no idea how long he had been grinding or how many times he had triggered Fate Hint. Finally, after killing yet another Krosa Mecha Wreckage (boss), he reached level 20 max.
"Whew!"
"I've finally maxed out. All that's left is the second class advancement certificate."
Looking at the masses of Krosa Mecha Wreckage (bosses) slain by the Sakast Imperial Sword (Holy Sword), Zhou Heng felt a little regretful.
These bosses gave plenty of experience, but they dropped nothing at all. Forget a second class advancement certificate-they did not even drop a single trash skill book.
Still, it made sense when he thought about it. These bosses were formed from all kinds of mechanical debris in the Interstellar Wreckage. Even calling them mechanical life-forms was giving them too much credit.
After grinding his way through them, Zhou Heng felt that the Krosa Mecha Wreckage must have a main body, and it was precisely because this main body existed that these Krosa Mecha Wreckage could form from the various pieces of interstellar debris.
As for where the main body of the Krosa Mecha Wreckage was, Zhou Heng had not worked it out at first. But after all this grinding, anyone who was not an idiot should have guessed something.
After all, anything capable of driving such an enormous number of Krosa Mecha Wreckage boss manifestations into a frenzy had to be intimately connected to them.
Combined with the white-haired woman's exclusive item mentioned in Fate Hint, if his guess was right, the thing she had entered the Interstellar Wreckage to find was the main body of the Krossa Mech.
"Still haven't succeeded?"
"I've already reached max. There's no point grinding any more."
As though it had heard Zhou Heng's distant murmur, the orb of light that had been unable to merge with Kailina's heart suddenly paused and emitted a dazzling radiance.
[Successfully analyzed clone-Kailina] [Authenticating DNA...] [Matching soul factors...] [Constructing magical element circuits...] [Beginning connection to the online game "Boundless Endless"...]
Accompanied by the cold mechanical voice, the orb of light finally merged into Kailina's heart.
In an instant, the enormous mechanical wall began to tremble. As the shaking grew increasingly violent, Kailina floated up with it, and soon she was sucked inside through the hole.
As Kailina entered the depths of the hole, the entire enormous mechanical wall began drawing in matter from every direction...
