[Server Announcement: Congratulations to player "Yiye Zhiqu" for becoming the first player on this server to officially advance to "Bronze Level"! We hope other players will continue to strive...]

The resurrection point in the Great Graveyard.

As the pop-up window floated up in front of them, the people who had just been resurrected were instantly dumbfounded.

"Darn it!"

"Is this even possible?!"

"This must be a joke!"

"...%￥#@!"

At the same time, in an office building on Earth.

As Qianli looked at the official forum announcement that floated up on his computer screen, he slightly frowned.

"Didn't expect to be one step behind..."

"Yeah... how does this freak even level up? Could it really be an insider account from the officials? But why?"

You only hear about stimulating people to recharge, never about stimulating them to level up.

Plus, this is a closed beta game!

Isn't this too much of a hustle?!

Baili, holding the back of his head, sighed and glanced at his boss lying on a nearby lounge chair, adding a mournful remark.

"Condolences."

At that moment, somewhere on the first floor of the maze, a person covered in harpoons was making a creaking and crunching noise.

The weaker monsters around hastily retreated.

Although they couldn't understand what those strange noises meant, anything that made that kind of sound was neither tasty nor easy to provoke.

"Hahahaha!"

"Worthy of being the opponent I have my eye on!"

"Hahaha!"

Dragon Roaming Wanli laughed loudly, half out of genuine admiration and half perhaps to defuse the awkwardness.

After all, until a minute ago, he still thought securing the top spot across the entire server was a sure thing.

Turned out, the other person had directly reached level 11 already.

Seeing his boss laughing to cover the awkwardness, the nation's top pig didn't know how to console him and could only silently close his mouth.

This guy is truly monstrous.

Busy updating guides on one hand while leveling up on the other...

How many livers does this guy have, really???

...

Although the guild leaders of Dragon Roaming the World couldn't accept that their boss got surpassed by a solo player, the vast majority of solo players weren't surprised by this outcome at all.

After all, every single move of this guy was public on the forums, and after reading them, besides admiration, they really didn't have many other thoughts.

One could only say, this guy truly understood the game.

They mostly hoped the development team would limit these grinders, perhaps by setting up some anti-addiction system or vitality system or something.

Honestly, even Luo Yan had to admire him, this guy really had a knack for figuring out the rules, even a one-in-a-million kind of genius.

He had almost monopolized all the obtainable contribution points, so much so that in less than a month after the server started, he had shot up to Bronze level.

In Luo Yan's original design of the task system, this time frame should have been two to two-and-a-half months.

If everyone were like this guy, following the optimal leveling path, even if he borrowed 100,000 faith points from Saint Sis and the Demon God, it wouldn't be enough for these players.

Moreover, those things couldn't even be borrowed.

Luo Yan suddenly understood why the gods, while setting the complex advancement rules, were so secretive about the rules themselves...

The Quality Square in the Great Graveyard.

After the soul level advancement ceremony was complete, Luo Yan opened Yiye Zhiqu's character panel to take a glance.

After advancing to Bronze, Yiye Zhiqu received a +3 boost to all attributes.

Not only had his bones been further strengthened, looking even more robust, but the disparity with Alakdo's stats was also getting smaller.

As Luo Yan was scrutinizing this little player's character panel and pondering whether to cut down the contribution point gains, the Yiye Zhiqu standing in front of him started speaking somewhat awkwardly.

"Respected Lord Demon King, may I decide whether to activate that server-wide announcement? Or perhaps add an anonymity feature..."

He wasn't a person who liked to show off, just purely enjoying the game for fun. Getting highlighted this way was drawing too much hostility.

The Demon King didn't respond, not even glancing at him.

Feeling like he was being left hanging, Yiye Zhiqu sighed in resignation.

"Alright... forget I said anything."

It seemed NPCs didn't have the authority to modify the game's progress or respond to gameplay-irrelevant dialogue.

Yiye Zhiqu pondered secretly.

However, he did not know that this rule was precisely imposed by the very person he was looking at, ignoring him because the Demon King had his own decisions to make.

"... you level up quite fast, reaching Bronze in less than a month since your awakening. Do you have any secret?"

Unexpectedly triggering a dialogue, Yiye Zhiqu thought Lord Demon King was about to assign him a hidden task and quickly replied modestly.

"It's mainly by gathering the strengths of everyone."

Luo Yan: "Oh?"

"We have a place called the official forum where we can share tips for the game. Every time I post, many people reply, and occasionally I receive private messages from other players sharing leveling techniques... It's through this sharing process that I've also learned a lot."

Unsure if Demon King understood the concept of the official forum, Yiye Zhiqu explained in a tentative tone.
