Chapter 16 Graveyard of the Coffin

Ye Xiu led Tian Qi and his group to the Graveyard of the Coffin in the end. Tian Qi, Mu Yun Shen, and Qian Sheng Li were all level 21 like Lord Grim. They lacked confidence in fighting monsters that were level 23-26 in the Graveyard of the Coffin.

Steamed Bun Invasion, that kid, was level 23. There were monsters of his level in the Graveyard of the Coffin, and he was already eager to try.

Of course, Steamed Bun Invasion was Ye Xiu's main focus for guidance. Although it couldn't be said that Tian Qi and his group were beyond improvement, they could only rely on Steamed Bun Invasion to solve the immediate problem. After sending Tian Qi and the others to level up, Ye Xiu began one-on-one tutoring with Steamed Bun Invasion.

First of all, he had to explain the Rogue class to this guy.

The Rogue class has strong overall abilities, but at level 25, it doesn't have any group output capabilities.

Like all classes, the Rogue's level 1 skill is a "Hook Punch" that creates a floating effect.

Then the level 5 skill is "Slap," a crisp and pleasant slap that is the only skill before job advancement that comes with an aggro effect.

The level 10 skill, Knee Strike, pulls the enemy over and delivers a heavy knee strike. However, this skill can only be considered a half-grab skill because it doesn't have a knockdown effect.

After that is the level 15 skill, Choke. This skill cannot be used when facing away. After grabbing the person's throat, like Knee Strike, it cannot knock the opponent down, but this skill lasts for 2 seconds and can be extended with level upgrades. Furthermore, attacks can continue to be used in the Choke state. For example, you can use the level 20 skill "Brick," but at this point, hitting the back of the head requires some operational skill. The mouse needs to be flicked quickly, accurately, and with an arc.

Then there's the level 20 skill after job advancement: Sand Toss. Ye Xiu had already taught Steamed Bun Invasion about this.

After that, there's the level 25 skill "Coat Weapon with Poison." Apply poison to the weapon, and the attack that follows will add poison attribute damage. However, this poison doesn't have any duration; it's just a one-time damage effect that ignores defense. Steamed Bun Invasion, at level 23, doesn't have this skill yet, so we won't mention it for now. Steamed Bun Invasion has already experienced the previous skills and some ordinary attack methods, so Ye Xiu first pointed out the hidden effects of these skills to him.

Such as how to use "Slap" to strike a second-stage combo.

"Knee Strike" can create a knockback when striking from behind.

"Choke" halves the opponent's defense during its execution.

These things are not explicitly stated in the system's skill descriptions and are considered hidden skill effects. Steamed Bun Invasion was immersed in the game and hadn't looked at any guides, so he was completely unaware.

He chose his class without knowing anything? Ye Xiu asked in confusion, only to find out that this kid had randomly learned skills during the unspecialized stage and then felt that the Rogue's Slap, Knee Strike, and Choke were common moves he used during street fights. He immediately felt that this class was very immersive and had a strong sense of connection, so he decisively switched to it.

The answer made Ye Xiu sweat a little, but since he had already changed, then so be it. Ye Xiu guided him step by step, and Steamed Bun Invasion, who already had operational speed, improved rapidly and was having a lot of fun.

Ye Xiu was now only worried about one thing: with this guy's enthusiasm for the game, plus the fact that he was already two levels higher than him, wouldn't he reach level 26 before he himself reached level 25?

This was a serious problem, and Ye Xiu felt he had to have a serious talk with Steamed Bun Invasion.

"Steamed Bun? How long has it been since you slept?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Ah? I'm not tired." Steamed Bun Invasion was excitedly grinding, slapping away.

"Take a break now and then! I found a few guides here, all about the Rogue class, you can take a look," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh oh, I'll read them while I eat," Steamed Bun Invasion said.

"You're leveling up like crazy, but you still can't catch up to those people from the big guilds. They have several people playing one account, leveling up non-stop," Ye Xiu said.

Steamed Bun Invasion expressed disdain: "What kind of skill is that?"

"There's strength in numbers! So don't compete with them alone. Relax, level up slowly. The most important thing is, if you level up so fast, you'll be level 26 in the blink of an eye. How am I supposed to find you to break dungeon records?" Ye Xiu finally revealed the main point.

"Why not?" Steamed Bun Invasion was too much of a newbie; he didn't even know the rules for dungeon records.

Ye Xiu had no choice but to explain it again. After listening, Steamed Bun Invasion couldn't help but fall into a conflicted dilemma. He wanted to level up quickly, but he also wanted to break dungeon records and be on TV...

Tian Qi and the other two were also summoned by Ye Xiu to act as lobbyists and persuade Steamed Bun Invasion.

The three of them spared no effort, talking to Steamed Bun Invasion about how levels were just a passing thing in Glory and that being on TV and topping the leaderboards were the most supreme pursuits.

After a barrage of persuasion, Steamed Bun Invasion finally accepted reluctantly: "Okay, I'll try to slow down then. God, how many days do you need to level up?"

"I'll be quick," Ye Xiu said. "By the way, don't join a guild these next few days."

"Oh."

Finally having settled Steamed Bun Invasion, Ye Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with newbies was never easy. You can say whatever you want, like a gentle breeze over the mountain, but a newbie is a kind of strength.

Having finally accepted leveling up slowly, Steamed Bun Invasion didn't know what to do. Grinding monsters wasn't an option, but not grinding was boring; grinding too fast was a no-go, but grinding too slowly was uninteresting. For a time, he didn't know what to do, so he simply logged out of the game and went to collect the guides that Ye Xiu had introduced him to.

Ye Xiu saw that this guy had finally stopped leveling, but he had to hurry up. So he grouped up with Tian Qi and the other two and crazily grinded the Graveyard of the Coffin like a dungeon.

The three of them were getting sick of the Graveyard of the Coffin, but Ye Xiu was still energetic. They couldn't help but sigh in the same old way: "As expected of Brother Expert."

They ground the Graveyard of the Coffin until dawn, and all four of them had leveled up to 22. Although Tian Qi and the others wanted to vomit, they were a little reluctant to leave because grinding monsters was more efficient under Brother Expert's leadership. Ye Xiu, on the other hand, had to switch shifts and couldn't continue playing on the front desk computer.

After a hurried handover, he rushed to the smoking area to log back into the game.

Chen Guo woke up and looked out the window, only to see another beautiful day.

She stretched and got out of bed, rubbing her eyes as she went to the bathroom. As she walked into the bedroom, she suddenly remembered that there was now a man living in this room. It wasn't like before when she lived with Tang Rou, and she could freely expose her chest.

Thinking this, Chen Guo tidied her pajamas, buttoning and tying everything properly before leaving the bedroom.

She went out the door and looked to the side, Tang Rou's door was only slightly ajar.

Too careless! There's a man in the house! Sleeping without closing the door, what if someone steals a glimpse of spring? Chen Guo thought to herself as she experimented, trying to see if she could see Tang Rou's bed through the crack in the door. As a result, she could see it, but Tang Rou wasn't on the bed. Chen Guo was stunned and pushed the door open, only to find that Tang Rou's bed hadn't even been touched.

She didn't sleep all night!

Chen Guo was surprised, then she glanced at Ye Xiu's small storage room, the door was also slightly ajar. After hesitating for a moment, she still ran over to take a look.

No one there either!

These two lunatics!! Chen Guo stared blankly at the two empty rooms with their doors open and no one inside.
