Experience decreased, but efficiency increased by several times.
Because the monsters the two pulled were tagged with Sunshine Flame as soon as they entered his range, some of these monsters, even before they could half-way reach Chu Tian while switching aggro targets, were killed by his high damage burn.
With high-level experience rewards, in just two minutes, the three people successively leveled up to five. The experience from level four to five only required 2720 points.
The monsters couldn't even touch Chu Tian. Heng Dao, who was originally planned to be the most useful, became a mere spectator.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Heng Dao took the initiative to clean up the battlefield and collect loot.
Finally, he even joined the monster-pulling, but it was always a close call because, as a priest, his movement speed was slightly slower.
At Chu Tian's signal, he could only occasionally clean up the battlefield and then continue to be a spectator.
Half an hour later, the three people had reached level seven, which was considered fast. Chu Tian even envied them. It would be great if he had someone to lead him.
However, after reaching level seven, their leveling speed slowed down. The bonus experience for killing higher-level monsters dropped to 400%. Each monster only gave 216 experience points, while leveling up required 11200 experience points.
Although slow, it was only about fifty or so monsters. But Chu Tian saw that the monsters they were attracting were decreasing, knowing that the nearby monsters were almost all killed. He suggested changing locations, moving and fighting, heading towards higher-level monster grinding spots.
It would be a waste not to kill higher-level monsters with his high attack power.
Jian Zhi Cang Tian and the other two naturally had no objections. Having tasted this rapid leveling method, they naturally listened to whatever Chu Tian said.
Chu Tian determined the direction, and the four people advanced step by step. Two people would attract monsters from the front and bring them back for Chu Tian to kill. After the monsters in that direction were cleared, they would move forward another distance.
Thus, as they neared the spawn point of level thirteen monsters, they had already reached level eight, and Chu Tian's experience was only twenty percent away from level thirteen.
Just as the four people were cooperating, their experience rapidly soaring, the world chat channel exploded again.
The appearance of three level eight players in the top three positions on the leaderboard naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Shi Xin Feng (Sharpshooter - Male): "Look at the rankings, these three are leveling up so fast!"
Qing Tian Xiao Zhu (Paladin - Female): "Yeah, yeah, they were just in a party with me earlier, and they were only level four then."
Feng Chui Pi Pi Liang (Warlock - Male): "Is there another bug? Please, great gods, reveal it!"
Ding Feng Niao San Zhang (Rogue - Male): "They'll be banned soon."
...
Chu Tian and the other three naturally paid no attention to these comments. They had already passed through the level thirteen area and arrived at the spawn point of level fourteen corrupted spiders.
The monsters here were gregarious and dense, very suitable for their leveling method, so the four of them stopped here.
Here Chu Tian also had the bonus experience for killing higher-level monsters, and with the doubling effect from his god-tier talent, his leveling speed also increased.
Heng Dao finally had a bit of use, occasionally healing Chu Tian, and then continued to clean up the battlefield.
Four hours later, Heng Dao said, "My inventory is full again, what should I do?"
"Mine is full too," Jian Zhi Cang Tian said.
"Don't look at me, I was the first to fill up. The first time Heng Dao cleared his inventory, he gave everything to me!" Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni said in the team chat.
"I don't have much space left either. How about we stop here for today? There's less than an hour left before the game closes," Chu Tian said, checking the time, it was already past seven o'clock.
"Don't, boss, let's grind until the time is up!" Jian Zhi Cang Tian was clearly addicted.
At this moment, all three of them had reached level 10, and Chu Tian had just reached level fourteen.
On the leaderboard of the beginner village 1314, the three of them were four levels ahead of the fourth place.
Chu Tian laughed, "What are you talking about? Let's all go back to town!"
Seeing Jian Zhi Cang Tian's reluctance to use the free town portal stone, Heng Dao and Sheng Guang Hu You Zhe Ni also said goodbye to Chu Tian and returned to town.
Chu Tian instructed them in the team chat: "Take whatever good items you can carry from your inventory. Dispose of what you can't. Go buy a few large-slot backpacks from the tailor! I'll take you grinding for another day tomorrow, and then I'll be leaving the beginner village!"
Looking at his just-leveled-up experience bar to level fourteen, leveling to fifteen required 65520 points, but Chu Tian was confident.
Chu Tian also took out his free town portal stone, which could be used once every twenty-four hours. His red name had long since been washed away during this period of monster grinding.
Returning to the safe zone of the town, the sun had already risen in the real world, but it was just sunset in Tian Dao. The streetlights on both sides of the town's streets reflected off the walls of the all-cement buildings, appearing extremely dim.
The streets were still bustling with people coming and going, as always.
"Good quality level one iron weapons, for all professions, attack 2-3, slightly higher than beginner weapons, only two copper coins!" A level three rogue was setting up a stall near the beginner spawn point, and there were indeed many people gathered around his stall.
Newcomers entering the game after the disaster had a starting capital of 2 copper coins. In Tian Dao, there was no phenomenon of infinitely creating characters to grind gold because each person could only create one character. Many people, wanting to level up faster, would have to buy one upon entering the game.
However, they did not know that the same level 1 weapon could be purchased for only one copper coin at the blacksmith's shop north of Senjin Town, a five-minute walk away.
In his previous life, he had also foolishly bought one and only later realized he had been cheated.
Chu Tian looked at this stall and smiled. Such people exist everywhere. It couldn't be said they were scammers! At least they offered delivery, saving you a five-minute trip.
Passing through the crowd, he headed straight to the guild hall. When he met Jian Zhi Cang Tian and the others, he had been added to the guild, and Heng Dao had already transferred the guild leader to him.
Because there was no guild residence during the beginner phase, all matters had to be set up in the guild hall.
First, with a pang of pain, he spent 10 gold coins to unlock the first page of the guild bank.
He put all the equipment in his inventory into the guild bank. Once equipment entered the guild bank, it would be automatically evaluated for attributes, and the amount of contribution required to exchange it would be set.
At the same time, he also set up a system where donating money could be exchanged for contribution points, with a dynamic exchange rate. Tian Dao's intelligent system would automatically adjust the donation ratio based on the market value of gold.
He didn't know what Tian Dao based this dynamic adjustment on, but this dynamic adjustment was very accurate.
Then, he also set the ratio for exchanging equipment donations for contribution points, and the system would automatically evaluate the equipment attributes and grant guild players contribution points.
