Shockwaves rippled, and dust settled.

Looking at the scattered limbs and the Earth Cave Spiders with their bellies turned up, along with the skeleton clutching its bone spear tightly, Luo Yan, lowering his magic wand, nodded in approval.

"Not bad."

It looked like this skeleton soldier could still be useful for a long time.

Of course.

Mainly because he had handled it well.

Seeing the mess around, Hu Wan, clutching the bone spear, couldn't help but tense up.

As Lord Demon King's chanting finally halted, it was only then that he breathed a sigh of relief and slid off the bone spear.

So this is what power feels like?

While they were still calculating the Earth Cave Spiders' attack rhythm, Lord Demon King simply waved his hand, killing all the creatures instantly.

Damn...

Should someone who aspired to be the top rogue in "Scourge OL" consider a change of career?

He wasn't the only one harboring such thoughts.

Qianli standing by felt the same.

Lord Demon King's awe-inspiring demeanor left an indelible impression on her mind.

Maybe try becoming a Demon Swordsman?

But before that, it would be wise to switch out of the skeleton class first.

In a couple of days, she should be able to gather enough Contribution Value required to upgrade her soul level, only she didn't know when the development team would roll out new classes.

At this moment, the players were unaware that what they saw as the ultimate strength ceiling in "Scourge OL" was merely the ceiling at North Peak Mine.

Luo Yan opened the attributes panel to confirm the gains, finding that he gained less experience than he anticipated.

"...Over three hundred Earth Cave Spiders added just over twenty thousand experience, is it because the level gap too big?"

In his memory, Yiye Zhiqu and Hu Wan seemed to have battled around ninety-plus Earth Cave Spiders and leveled up from LV0 to LV3.

Advancing three levels surely required over 30,000 experience.

And that was while sharing the experience between two people!

Since the Contribution Points were issued through Youyou, Luo Yan was well-informed about the players' game progress.

"Indeed, to gain higher experience, one must face stronger monsters."

"Or else—"

"One has to compensate for the quality with quantity."

Luo Yan pulled out a small blue bottle from his chest, bit open the cork, and gulped it down.

A warm sensation spread from his stomach to his entire body, finally focusing at the depths of his Sea of Consciousness at his forehead.

The feeling of fatigue vanished instantly, and his previously depleted mana pool refilled.

Once the potion took effect, Luo Yan quickly perked up, looking inscrutably at the nearby players.

"It's time to clear the next area."

As he spoke, he took out four magic potions and tossed them into their hands.

"Go, draw those spiders' attention... you know what to do."

...

With Hu Wan's prior demonstration, the remaining four players needed no instruction; upon receiving the magic potions, they poured them directly onto their foreheads... clearly, they knew what to do.

Luo Yan was very pleased.

As expected of high-level players, using them was smooth.

Unlike those idiots with bizarre usernames, who were either miming with their broken swords in front of statues or fussing over their pet cats.

What do you call vision?

This is what you call vision!

Accumulate more Contribution Value, grow and strengthen along with his Great Graveyard, and then what breed of cat wouldn't be within reach?

If persuasion fails... acting on one's own is also feasible!

After all, the players were controlling soul mirror images, and reincarnating was as easy as changing classes in an MMORPG.

Not only was Luo Yan very satisfied, the players under his command were equally pleased.

Being bossed around in a task, isn't that all too normal? Can that compare to a regular job?

A NPC who gets straight to the point without any unnecessary rhetoric or riddles was already very friendly.

With scarce tutorials in this game, if one had to guess what NPCs really wanted, that would be utterly frustrating...

In the hours that followed, Luo Yan demonstrated what efficiency meant to the eager players.

Under his command, they split up and advanced down the corridors beyond the hall, marking their path while drawing all encountered monsters back to the hall.

Thousands of ratmen fed, and not just in a mere "maze room" but in a vast labyrinth beneath North Peak Mine.

The abundance of food greatly stimulated the spiders' desire to reproduce; as the pheromone-coated skeletons entered their feeding areas, the normally lazy creatures instantly became as excited as seeing an Enchanting Demon's [Pig-headed Knight].

They were almost screaming "Mine, mine!"

Even though they were only skeletons, and even if they did catch these creatures, besides being turned to ash, there seemed... not much else to be done?

In any case, the players, serving as tools, got a taste of what it felt like to be an Enchanting Demon.

They each lured the monsters back to the hall, and the rest was a performance by Lord Demon King.

If there weren't many spiders, he simply waved his magic wand, shooting bone spears to kill them one by one.

If a large wave of spiders approached, he tossed a bone spear first, marking a safe zone on the ground, then unleashed an AOE skill to bombard the grouped Earth Cave Spiders.

Additionally, he would occasionally sit down, pop a potion, and meditate.

And whenever he did, the zombie minions following him would step in for him, swinging their great swords, slashing the spiders that chased the players.
