30 minutes 8.71 seconds.

This was the final time Ye Xiu and Ye Wei Yang's group of four achieved after clearing the dungeon. It was a very mediocre time. An ordinary five-person team usually clears Frost Forest in around 30 minutes.

The time was nothing to write home about, but Ye Wei Yang was gnashing his teeth throughout the whole process.

The fee for the commander was definitely worth it! From start to finish, Lord Grim's instructions never stopped. But just like when he commanded that knight, he simply explained the most basic tactics in a straightforward manner. If he were leading four newcomers, this dungeon run would be extremely beneficial for them. But for Ye Wei Yang, this run was a complete waste. He couldn't see any particularly outstanding skills from this so-called expert.

As a result, the four of them who were being commanded felt especially suppressed. They could be considered experts themselves, but this method, this command, was completely at the level of an average person, making them seem like idiots.

Ye Wei Yang felt that Lord Grim was deliberately disguising himself. He tried to make mistakes on purpose, hoping to elicit some of the qualities of a true expert.

So the great expert patiently explained to Ye Wei Yang that he was wrong, and how he should do it like this, like this...

Hearing the giggles of his three buddies, Ye Wei Yang understood that he was now truly being treated like an idiot.

In the end, the only clue he could glean was that Lord Grim hadn't changed class, but his output was on par with the other two in the team, so his weapon couldn't be too bad. But what was that battle lance? Ye Wei Yang had never seen it before.

"Brother, you're setting us up!" Ye Wei Yang said after leaving the dungeon.

"Why do you say that? Was my command not right?" Ye Xiu asked.

"..." Ye Wei Yang didn't know what to say. The command was ordinary, but it was impeccable, without missing any details. If Ye Wei Yang hadn't deliberately made mistakes, nothing would have gone wrong following his instructions.

This at least showed that this guy's fundamentals were extremely solid. Ye Wei Yang tried hard to accept it, tried hard to believe that this dungeon run wasn't a waste of time, that he had gained something, that he had gained something.

"Going to get the White Wolf Fang?" Ye Xiu asked.

Ye Wei Yang was in tears! Only he had gained something.

After getting the White Wolf Fang, Ye Xiu said goodbye and left. Ye Wei Yang's character didn't move, and he was sitting in front of the computer in a daze.

Suddenly, someone nudged him twice. Ye Wei Yang turned his head and saw one of his teammates from the dungeon run sitting next to him, pointing at the computer screen, signaling Ye Wei Yang to look.

His screen wasn't showing the game, but a post on the Glory game website.

Ye Wei Yang leaned over to look, and heard the person say, "I kept thinking his command sounded very familiar, so I came to take a look..."

Ye Wei Yang only glanced at it a few times before almost spitting blood onto the screen.

Forget about basic skills, forget about being impeccable, that bastard's command was actually reciting the guide word for word, without missing a single detail. Of course, he wouldn't miss any details.

"We were had..." the guy said. Eight White Wolf Fangs! And all they got was a guide post with over a million views.

Ye Wei Yang felt extremely helpless. He had asked for it himself. The guy didn't say he wanted to run the dungeon with them, but he had shamelessly insisted on running it; the guy didn't say he wanted to command, but he had shamelessly asked him to command; the guy didn't start by reciting the guide, but he had insisted on being commanded step by step.

Step by step my ass! With their team's quality, they had never heard of needing to be commanded step by step. Making such a request was just asking for trouble. See, it really hurt now!

"You beast!" Ye Wei Yang gritted his teeth and furiously sent a message to Lord Grim from his seat: "Brother, that's not cool! Using a guide to fool us?"

"It's not? That guide was my original work." Ye Xiu said.

"Really?" Ye Wei Yang quickly turned his head and asked that guy, "Who wrote that guide?"

That guy obviously hadn't paid attention to it either, so he quickly flipped back to the previous page, looked, and said, "One Autumn Leaf." (Yi Ye Zhi Qiu)

Ye Wei Yang was furious and turned back to smash his keyboard, "What are you bragging about? That guide is from Great God Ye Qiu."

"That's right, that's me!"

Shameless! Too damn shameless... Ye Wei Yang was completely speechless.

"Leaving for a bit, will contact you later." Ye Wei Yang then received another message from the other party.

Escaping, this is escaping! What could be happening at three in the morning? Ye Wei Yang wondered.

At Happy Internet Cafe, Ye Xiu was carrying a few bottles of cola to deliver to customers...

Nothing happened overnight.

At seven in the morning, when the customers began to leave, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim finally leveled up to 21. After leaving the newbie zone, leveling up became slower than in the newbie village. Firstly, the required experience increased significantly, and secondly, the number of dungeon runs became limited. Although level 20 seemed like it could infinitely grind the Skeleton Graveyard in the newbie village, doing so would reveal that the Skeleton Graveyard was now being treated as a dungeon five levels lower, and the experience was reduced.

After level 20, in addition to dungeons, players needed to rely more on quests and killing wild monsters to level up.

On the rankings for the tenth server, Ye Xiu saw the names of Blue River, Ye Wei Yang, and others, all at level 24. Clearly, they had been online for 24 hours straight to achieve such results in less than two days since the server opened. These characters cultivated by the guilds obviously had a gap between them and ordinary players. After this first tier of level 24, the level 22 and 23 stages were almost vacant, with only a very small proportion of people. And levels 20 and 21 were those who had rushed into the game and worked hard since the server opened, like Lord Grim and Tian Qi. Their playtime was already considered quite crazy.

Most players hadn't even left the newbie village yet!

"Morning, Brother Ye!" At this time, the morning shift employees of the internet cafe, the cashier girl and others, arrived on time and greeted Ye Xiu.

"Morning." Ye Xiu quit the game and vacated the computer at the bar.

"Everyone's busy, I'm off work."

"Okay."

After greeting everyone, Ye Xiu stretched and returned to the two-story apartment. He heard the sound of the TV from the living room when he opened the door.

"Boss is up so early?" Ye Xiu said as he entered the house, only to see that the TV was on, but Chen Guo was lying on the sofa, fast asleep. She wasn't covered with anything and had curled up into a shrimp ball from the cold.

"Boss, go back to your room and sleep!" Ye Xiu went over and patted her a couple of times, but Chen Guo turned over, an expression of disgust on her face at being disturbed in her sleep.

Helpless, Ye Xiu saw that the door to Chen Guo's room wasn't closed, so he went in to find something to cover her with. He subconsciously looked around Chen Guo's room and found that the floor, walls, and ceiling were quite new, but the furniture and bed in the room looked quite old. Ye Xiu didn't think much about it, took a blanket from Chen Guo's messy bed, covered Chen Guo, turned off the TV, and went to his poor storage room to rest.
