Over a hundred clones swarmed toward the swamp.
First, the classes with taunt-type skills activated their abilities against the hulking beasts entrenched in the mud.
If they didn't have a taunt skill, sometimes just yelling a direct insult worked too.
"You big stupid cow! Get the hell up here!"
After the monsters were lured onto the shore, the clones scattered, forming small squads to besiege them.
Dealing with wild monsters didn't require any complex maneuvers; the classic warrior-priest-mage coordination was enough.
However, since the clones had no equipment and were low-level, the speed at which they whittled down the monsters' health was rather slow.
Fortunately, there was strength in numbers. Under the gang-up, they soon saw results.
"Serious Punch!"
A squad of clones carried over an Irritable Water Buffalo with barely any health left, and Song Gua killed it with a single punch.
[Serious Punch]: This skill is treated as a normal attack, dealing 120% physical damage with a cooldown of 5 seconds.
As one of the initial skills of the Binder class, although it was a common-quality skill, its cooldown was fast.
Its characteristic of being treated as a normal attack could also trigger the Unadorned effect, which converted normal attacks into true damage.
Song Gua found it quite practical.
[You have killed a Lv5 Irritable Water Buffalo, experience increased from 0% to 120%!]
[Congratulations on leveling up, Lv0 to Lv1!]
[You have gained 20 attribute points, which have been automatically distributed according to your class characteristics.]
Song Gua and his clones didn't use the party function. This way, the experience gained from killing wild monsters didn't have to be shared; whoever got the kill got the experience.
Killing monsters above one's level granted an experience bonus, so Song Gua leveled up instantly.
A beam of holy light descended from the sky, completely enveloping Song Gua.
When the light dispersed, Song Gua was Level 1.
"Not bad, keep up this pace."
This Irritable Water Buffalo also dropped a piece of equipment. Song Gua picked it up to check.
It was a white, common-quality top that provided a little bit of defense.
The quality of equipment, skills, and other items was divided into: Common, Fine, Excellent, Flawless, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
Their respective affix colors were: White, Blue, Green, Red, Orange, Purple, and Gold.
Drops from wild monsters were all very shabby, consisting only of common-quality equipment that matched their levels, commonly known as white gear.
Occasionally, they would drop some potions, which were also the lowest-quality health and mana potions matching their levels.
These things were sold by the pound in the market and were extremely worthless.
Still, it was better than nothing.
Moreover, equipping all four armor slots, top, bottom, head, and feet, could activate the armor mastery effect.
While waiting for the second tribute, a minor accident occurred.
One clone squad went overboard with their damage output and accidentally killed a low-health Fire-Breathing Hippo.
The clone who killed the Fire-Breathing Hippo was enveloped in holy light and leveled up.
This clone's class was Rhythm Mage, an A-rank, Combat System, Mage Sequence.
The class talent was Rhythmic Magic. Every time a skill was used, the damage would randomly fluctuate between 90% and 150%.
It was a very simple and brutal damage-dealing class.
Rumor had it that after the second class advancement, the 90% side effect would disappear, making it an excellent class for learning AOE skills to farm dungeons and mow down enemies.
"My bad, that Fireball just now probably fluctuated to 150% damage, and I accidentally landed a critical hit, taking that hippo out instantly."
Song Gua expressed his understanding.
"It's fine, you guys need to level up too. Otherwise, when we go run dungeons later, it won't be of any use if I'm the only one with a high level."
Rhythm Mage: "He's so nice, I'm crying."
Right at that moment, Song Gua noticed a notification pop up in front of his eyes.
[Your experience has increased, 20% to 25%!]
"Huh? Where did this experience come from?"
Song Gua glanced at the Rhythm Mage.
Could it be...
"Your group, kill the monster yourselves. Fire Warrior, you take the experience."
Fire Warrior, Combat System, Almighty Sequence, an S-rank class!
As a higher sequence, it naturally possessed two talents.
Fire Transformation: The body can transform into fire. By flexibly utilizing the flames on the body, one can use abilities such as fire-breathing flight, burning fire lines, and flame detonations.
Magical Fire: All attacks deal an additional 30% fire magic damage. This extra damage can critically hit and has a 20% chance to apply a stack of the Burn status to the enemy. For every stack of Burn, the critical hit rate of Magical Fire's extra damage increases by 10%.
[Burn]: Causes continuous health loss based on the difference in attack and defense between the applier and the target. It can stack up to 10 times.
Weapon Mastery: Gauntlets.
Armor Mastery: Leather Armor.
This was Song Gua's only clone that had awakened an S-rank class.
Classes in the Almighty Sequence generally possessed the characteristics of multiple basic sequences.
Take the Fire Warrior, for example. Its exclusive skills all dealt physical damage, but its talent brought extra magic damage.
Its skills included both melee and ranged attacks.
The Fire Warrior clone was currently wearing a Red Dragon mahjong tile mask, looking absolutely awesome.
"Hahaha! Alright, watch this. Fire Punch!!"
Red Dragon threw a punch, and his entire arm transformed into fire, spewing a blast of high-temperature flames that finished off a low-health Triceratops Rhino.
Red Dragon leveled up.
[Your experience has increased, 25% to 30%!]
At the same time, Song Gua also gained 20% of the experience Red Dragon had just acquired.
"I get it now."
Since the clones shared the same memories as the main body, they understood as well.
"When we gain experience, 20% of it is fed back to that bastard main body?"
"What kind of mechanic is this? An auxiliary ability of the cloning power?"
"Who cares? Good thing it's a feedback loop and not a split, so we aren't losing out either!"
A 20% feedback meant that whenever Song Gua's clones gained experience, an extra 20% experience would be generated out of thin air for the main body.
If Song Gua killed a monster himself, only he would gain the experience.
"Then why should I even fight?"
Song Gua simply lay down on the grass, pulled out his phone, and started scrolling through videos of pretty girls.
"Work hard! Strive! Go get 'em, boys."
The clones started cursing and grumbling once again.
"Die of laziness, why don't you!"
"Even though this maximizes our profits, why do I want to beat him up so badly?"
"Let's just grind, let's grind. I guess we just don't have the main body's luck."
Although there were two hundred people power-leveling him, these two hundred were all low-level, so their monster-killing efficiency wasn't high.
Even so, in just half a day, Song Gua reached Level 5.
He was definitely the fastest among his peers.
While grinding, Song Gua had a batch of clones prioritize leveling up so that he would have a capable main force for running dungeons after Level 5.
This batch included those with better class talents like the Rhythm Mage and Fire Warrior, while also considering team composition.
He designated a few top picks for healing, crowd control, tanking, burst damage, and executing, allowing them to level up first.
After equipping all the gear he could wear, Song Gua pulled up his information panel to take a look; it was already vastly different from how it had been that morning.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
