Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

Beginner Village No. 9527, Green Grassland.

Su Mubai lay leisurely on the grass with his hands behind his head, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, and his eyes closed, resting.

A gentle breeze stirred the white clouds in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on him, making him appear exceptionally serene.

It may seem like Su Mubai isn't doing anything, but he is actually leveling up.

And its efficiency far surpasses that of all other players!

Dozens of meters away, the hundred-man skeleton army rampaged across the grassland like bulldozers, constantly sweeping away various wild monsters.

Although their actions slightly disrupted the beautiful scene, they kept Su Mubai's experience bar constantly jumping.

[Killing a level 10 bison grants an additional 50% bonus for levels above that level, and 30 experience points.]

[Slaying a level 10 elite monster, the Prairie Wolf, grants an additional 50% bonus for monsters of higher levels and 150 experience points.]

[Defeat the level 10 enhanced elite monster, the Prairie Wolf, to receive an additional 50% bonus for monsters above their level and 450 experience points.]

……

This is an area with level 10 monsters, and it's also one of the few high-level outdoor maps in the starting village.

Every moment, monsters are killed by the skeleton army and turned into Su Mubai's experience points.

Although most of them are ordinary monsters, there are just too many of them.

At this stage, skilled players are all tackling the Misty Forest dungeon.

Su Mubai essentially booked the entire high-level map.

If other players saw this, they would be so angry they'd vomit blood.

Why is it that everyone else has to work so hard to level up and worry about being killed by monsters, while you can just lie down and farm so fast?

Is this right?

Su Mubai didn't know if it was right or wrong; he only knew that he was about to reach level nine.

Forty skeleton warriors continuously pulled monsters, while the remaining skeleton archers and skeleton mages unleashed their full damage potential, making monster killing as easy as slicing melons and vegetables.

Before long, a golden light rose from Su Mubai's body.

[Congratulations to player "White Night" for reaching level 9, with +1 to all four stats, +1 skill point, and +15 free attribute points.]

"Just one more level and I can leave the starting village."

Su Mubai opened his eyes, slowly sat up, and allocated his free attribute points as usual.

As for skill points, they should be reserved for now.

The main reason is that he currently has no skills to improve.

Several passive skills do not have levels and do not require skill points.

[Death Absorption Feedback] It takes 10 skill points to level up, so there's no point in adding more.

The [Burning] skill, which can be upgraded with just a little more skill points, has very low damage, so this low-level skill may be replaced in the future.

Therefore, Su Mubai simply saved his skill points.

"I wonder where the appraiser went."

Looking at the 758 gold coins in his backpack, Su Mubai couldn't help but frown.

After completing the transaction with the richest man in the world, he did not come directly to the Green Green Grassland, but instead went back to the newbie village first.

The main purpose of returning to the city is, of course, to appraise the equipment.

But to his utter surprise, the appraisal shop in the newbie village No. 9527 was not open!

After inquiring with nearby shops, I learned that the appraiser believed no one in the beginner village could obtain the items that needed appraisal, so he went out to gather information.

Besides being an appraiser, this guy is also a painter...

His destination for his field research was the Green Green Grassland.

Therefore, on his first trip back to the city, Su Mubai only bought a few sets of underwear that fit well and a return scroll.

As for the other props sold in the village, they were of no use to him at all.

"The Green Grassland is so big, who knows where that guy went to gather inspiration?"

Su Mubai pursed his lips, but still patted his butt and stood up.

The main reason is that the nearby monsters have all been cleared out by the skeleton army and haven't respawned yet.

He wouldn't move his butt just to find an appraiser.

It's not too late to appraise it after leaving the starting village.

Anyway, they're all level 10 equipment, so I can't wear them now.

"50 experience points, it'll take a while to grind for them."

From level 9 to 10, there are no dungeons for players to farm; the only way to level up is to grind a lot of monsters in the wild.

Su Mubai roughly calculated that, excluding a small number of elite monsters and enhanced elite monsters, he would need to farm the wild buffaloes in the Green Green Grassland several times if he wanted to level up.

After moving to a spot with more monsters, Su Mubai found a flat boulder, lay down on it, crossed his legs, and leisurely continued his leveling journey.

The skeleton army instantly joined the battle, with 40 skeleton warriors constantly pulling monsters, and no monster could break through their defenses.

"This upgrade speed still feels a bit slow."

After observing the frequency of the experience bar's fluctuations, Su Mubai pondered for a moment before focusing his gaze on the skill [Summon Space Expansion].

Now that I have money and a lot of Soul Stones, I don't know if it will be enough for advancement or a cataclysmic event.

Thinking of this, Su Mubai had a sudden thought.

[Catastrophe]!

[Objective: Summon Space Expansion]

[Hint: Please select the promotion rank: Tier 1/Tier 2/Tier 3.] (Click to view details)

Option 1: Overwrite the existing promotion effect and re-promote to the D-rank skill [Summoning Space Expansion], with no cost.

Option 2: Overwrite the original promotion effect and upgrade to the C-level skill [Summoning Space Expansion], consuming 100 gold coins.

Option 3: Overwrite the original promotion effect, upgrade to Rank B skill [Summoning Space Expansion], consuming 20 years of lifespan.

"Twenty years?!"

Looking at the resources required for the cataclysm, Su Mubai's lips twitched.

A B-level skill certainly isn't worth that many years of lifespan, but the Cataclysmic trait is!

If he had enough lifespan, he would definitely choose catastrophe.

After silently calculating his life soul stone, Su Mubai's eyes lit up.

It seems that's really enough!

Including the two he obtained from Maple Leaf Xiaoxiao, he now has a total of 65 Soul Stones.

After advancing to the next level for free, each intermediate-level life soul stone increases lifespan by 120 days. 65 stones would amount to 7800 days, which is over 21 years!

Although the skill 【Summon Space Expansion】 has a low level, it greatly enhances Su Mubai's abilities.

Without hesitation, he absorbed all the life stones, extending his lifespan to 22 years.

With the life energy of 65 intermediate-grade life soul stones entering his body, Su Mubai clearly felt refreshed and couldn't help but let out a comfortable hum.

This feeling is a thousand times more pleasant than any particular moment.

"The feeling of extended lifespan is truly intoxicating."

With a sigh, Su Mubai made a decisive choice.

"Cataclysmic Stage Three!"

[Prompt: Confirm consuming 20 years of lifespan to overwrite previous promotion effects and upgrade the "Summon Space Expansion" skill to a higher tier.]

【confirm】

【Cancel】

"confirm!"

The newly enhanced vitality vanished quickly before it could be properly felt.

[Warning: You have lost twenty years of your life.]

Lifespan: Less than 3 years
