Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 50: Not Enough Level
"Let's go after the fight, they're calling us!"

Yang Xu was only slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure. After saying hello, he hurriedly ran towards Zijin and the others.

When he arrived at the scene, the battle was indeed nearing its end.

Under the siege of four people, the mountain spider was already on the verge of death and could die at any time.

Yang Xu quickly fired another fireball, harvesting the last of the mountain spider's vitality.

[Monster Defeat Dungeon - Mountain Spider, Completed!]

You and four other administrators teamed up to kill a level 21 Mirror Ghost Mountain Spider. Each member of the team gained 125 experience points and 19 points.

[A five-person team kills a level 21 Mirror Ghost Mountain Spider and obtains 3 Mountain Spider Fragments, which will be randomly distributed to team members.]

A system prompt popped up, and Yang Xu successfully gained experience and points. Unfortunately, his luck wasn't great today, and he didn't get the three spider fragments. Also, because he arrived too late, he didn't find a chance to get extra fragments.

However, these are no longer the focus of Yang Xu's attention.

The battle was over at this time, and he immediately opened the panel and switched to the log page.

When he killed the second jumping spider just now, he had already met the requirement of 10 kills and unlocked the star system.

[Kill the Mirror Ghost 10/10, unlock the star system, and upgrade your Dao Tong skin to 1 star. ]

[Administrator number CKL9527 has been promoted to 1 stars for the first time. The administrator's body has been strengthened, and his health, physique, and lifespan have all been greatly improved.]

[The upper limit of territory expansion has been increased from 16 to 25 squares, currently 15/25]

[Limit of Mirror Ghosts that can be used +1, currently 0/2]

【Poker system unlock】

[Your Qingyun Daotong skin has been confirmed to be 'Ace of Hearts']

Your Qingyun Daotong skin gains the 'Exploration' skill: When encountering other administrators wearing this skin, you can explore their playing cards at any time.

[Administrator number CKL9527 has been promoted 1 star ahead of schedule. The remaining novice protection period has been shortened to ten days.]

……

A new set of tips.

Yang Xu didn't have time to look closely. When he saw the words "lifespan greatly increased", he immediately switched back to the homepage of the panel and paid attention to the curse countdown.

The red countdown at this time shows: 58 days, 0 hours, 11 minutes and 14 seconds.

The countdown is up!

However, the increase was not as much as he had imagined.

Yang Xu remembered that before unlocking the star level, his countdown was just over 26 days, and now it is 58 days, an increase of about 32 days.

"Only one month..." Yang Xu couldn't tell whether he should be happy or worried.

According to the guide to the Bone-Dissolving Palm, each time other administrators upgrade their stars, their lifespan increases by a certain percentage of their remaining lifespan. For example, if a person originally had 100 years left to live, after upgrading by 1 star, his lifespan will increase by 2%, becoming 102 years. After upgrading by 2 stars, his lifespan will increase by 5%, becoming 107 years. The higher the star, the greater the increase.

Of course, the specific growth rate varies from person to person, and there is no regular pattern in the growth of each person at each star level. If the previous star level increases a lot, the next star level may increase a little.

In short, according to the general rules, if you continue to be promoted in this way, when you reach ten stars, the lifespan of most administrators can be doubled or tripled.

Now it comes to Yang Xu. After the first star upgrade, his life span has only increased by 1 month. Judging from the number of days alone, it is undoubtedly much less than that of ordinary people.

But considering the impact of the Root Curse, if one were to count the time displayed on the countdown as his remaining lifespan, then this wave would have more than doubled his remaining lifespan! This ratio absolutely eclipses that of other administrators.

And now he is only 1 star, and there are 9 opportunities to upgrade his star level in the future. Theoretically, his lifespan will increase more and more each time. If he maintains this super high growth rate in the future, then in theory, as long as he upgrades his star level fast enough, his total lifespan may exceed that of many normal people.

Of course, his situation is rather special because of the influence of the curse and his small lifespan base, which leads to a high ratio. It is hard to say how it will develop in the future. We have to wait until the second star to see any clues.

Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the countdown numbers finally increased smoothly, which greatly alleviated his anxiety about his lifespan.

While Yang Xu was busy checking the log records, Zuiwo Hongchen arrived late from behind.

The crusade was over at this time. Zuiwo Hongchen arrived a step too late and failed to get any assists. However, he did not come here to kill monsters today, so of course he did not care about this little experience.

After reuniting with everyone, Zuiwo Hongchen casually greeted them, found an open space nearby to sit down and rest, and glanced at Yang Xu with a complicated expression.

"What do you think? This newcomer is pretty good, right?" Zijin sent a private message to Zuiwo Hongchen.

She didn't know what the two had experienced outside the cave. She just saw the jumping spiders being eliminated one after another with amazing efficiency, and thought that the Taoist boy's strength must have been noticed by the president.

Zuiwo Hongchen could only smile bitterly when he saw the news about Zijin.

Today was a completely wasted trip for him. He had specially used a small account to come here to investigate, but in the end he didn't even see the other party actually make a move.

But he no longer needed to investigate. Lanshan was right. This man was indeed consciously hiding his strength.

To hide one's weaknesses, one must at least have the strength to do so. Just based on the time it took the other person to kill the last jumping spider, and the fact that he was able to match him, this newcomer definitely had real skills, there was no doubt about that.

What Zuiwo Hongchen is really worried about now is that this person might be more reluctant to join a force, because he felt an obvious sense of alienation when dealing with the other party just now.

Zuiwo Hongchen even suspected that the other party might have guessed his true identity, and the reason why he played hide-and-seek with him was to subtly remind him that he did not want to join any faction and that there was no need to waste his efforts.

While they were thinking, the copy time ended and the six people were kicked out of the mirror world.

Yang Xu said hello to the others and left the park first. Zijin and the others chatted for a while before also dispersing.

Only Lanshan and Zuiwohongchen were left at the scene.

Zuiwohongchen hesitated for a long time, but decided to contact the other party first.

Switch to the main skin of Zuiwo Hongchen, log in to the forum, search for Qingyun Daotong 2547, and add a friend.

Friends passed quickly.

A question mark came from Yang Xu: "Who are you?"

Zuiwo Hongchen certainly couldn't say that he was the King Zhou who had just gone to the dungeon with him, so he quickly introduced his real identity as the president of Qiucaotang.

Qingyun Daotong 2547: Qiucaotang... Oh, from the Zijin Guild.

[Zuiwohongchen: Yes, I heard from Zijin that you're quite skilled, able to single-handedly kill a jumping spider at level 4. The people who just went on the dungeon with you came back and praised you for your skills. Out of curiosity, I added you as a friend.]

[Qingyun Daotong 2547: They're being too kind. I was just lucky.]

[Zuiwohongchen: You're too modest, brother. Talent is scarce in Qingyang City lately. Talented newcomers like you are hard to find even with a lantern.]

Yang Xu didn't respond, but just gave a silly smile in return.

Zuiwohongchen saw that the time was ripe, so he stopped chatting awkwardly and quickly told his real purpose.

[Zuiwohongchen: To be honest, there is a vacancy in our guild right now. Brother, are you interested in joining?]

[Qingyun Daotong 2547: Sorry, I don't have any ideas at the moment.]

"..."

Zuiwo Hongchen felt a pang in his heart. As expected, he was rejected. And this rejection was firm and decisive, without any hesitation.

He personally invited someone but was still rejected. This kind of thing hasn't happened for many years. Today he finally experienced it, and it really felt bad.

But he was the leader of a meeting after all, so he quickly suppressed his emotions.

[Zuiwohongchen: It's okay. If you ever want to expand your power in the future, please remember to think of Qiucaotang first!]

Qingyun Daotong 2547: Okay, I definitely want to!

That’s all I have to say.

Zuiwohongchen looked at the chat interface that was quickly darkening, still a little dazed.

"What? He didn't agree?" Lanshan was surprised.

Lanshan certainly knew what Zuiwo Hongchen was doing. When he saw him suddenly become dazed after sending a series of messages, he had already guessed the result.

"Yeah, it looks like he's another lone ranger, what a pity..." Zuiwo Hongchen shook his head and sighed.

The last person to reject him so harshly was Bloody Dark, a lone wolf who refused to gain influence. Thinking about Bloody Dark's subsequent experiences and circumstances, Zuiwo Hongchen felt even more sorry. If this person was truly as talented as Bloody Dark, it would be a huge loss if he couldn't recruit him.

"No, you just gave up like that?" Lanshan asked.

"What else?" Zuiwo Hongchen was stunned.

"I think this newcomer might be someone important. He rejected your invitation. It's probably not a problem between you and me, but rather a lack of guild leadership." Lan Shan said, "So, I'm suggesting we recommend him to a higher-up."

"Upper level... are you talking about Tianji Pavilion?" asked Zuiwo Hongchen.

Their Qiucaotang belongs to the branch of Tianji Pavilion. In terms of hierarchy, Tianji Pavilion is their superior. The original intention of establishing several branches is to serve the headquarters. Usually, when there are new people with potential in several branches, they will be given priority to be sent to Tianji Pavilion.

For newcomers like this who they can't handle, recommending them to Tianji Pavilion and having Tianji Pavilion arrange special personnel to contact them is a common method.

"Tianji Pavilion is one aspect, and on the other hand, can we also report to the city lord..." said Lanshan.

"Not really?" He was sweating profusely while drunk.

The city lord exists on another level. It is true that Tianji Pavilion is the city lord's direct force, but the city lord is busy with all kinds of affairs and has no time to take care of the guild's affairs every day. The city lord has entrusted the management of Tianji Pavilion to his subordinates a long time ago.

Now, for a newcomer who hadn't even made it past the budding stage, they were going to alarm the city lord? In his opinion, this was a bit exaggerated.
