Chapter 209 Team Up?

Four small monsters in four different locations, plus a skeleton charging over with a blade. Qiancheng truly had no way to dodge this time. He had long forgotten all about showing off and tumbled to the ground along with the skeletons and zombies. The camera spun around, surrounded by the bones and rotten flesh of these undead creatures.

The undead creatures were rather slow and took their time getting up. Qiancheng was the first to stand up from the pile. He turned his view to see that Lord Grim hadn't left this time, striding over with his battle spear.

Qiancheng was startled and instinctively jumped back. But immediately regretted it. Why did he dodge? Hadn't he always wanted to exchange blows with this guy?

By this time, the slow-moving monsters had all gotten up. Although the four small monsters had been knocked down by Qiancheng, their aggro was still on Lord Grim. The skeleton with the blade originally had Qiancheng as its target, but now that it had been knocked down with the four monsters, it counted as an attack from Lord Grim, and its aggro was immediately drawn to him as well. As soon as the five monsters got up, they all charged towards Lord Grim.

Qiancheng wanted to say, "Let's clear the small monsters first, then we can have a good fight," but before he could speak, Lord Grim's battle spear had already stabbed into a small monster, and he was engaged in a fierce battle with the five monsters. He didn't even turn his view towards Qiancheng's location.

Could it be that this guy just came to kill monsters and wasn't targeting him? Was he less valuable than five undead creatures?

"Hey," Qiancheng called out.

"You want a monster? Here's one for you. Go play!" Lord Grim launched a small monster into the air with a straight stab, and it landed right at Qiancheng's feet.

Qiancheng was stunned.

He had never felt this way before.

In the past, every time he snatched a monster and showed off, the guy who had been robbed would be furious, and some would even immediately draw their guns and attack him. When he finally knocked them down, it felt so good.

But this time, the other party's reaction and actions made him feel like he was being incredibly childish. The guy gathered five monsters at once and casually threw one over to him, as if saying, "Be a good boy, kid. Don't make a fuss. Uncle will give you candy."

Qiancheng stood there, unmoving. The small monster that had landed at his feet naturally still had aggro on Lord Grim. After getting up, it charged back.

"What? Don't want it?" Lord Grim even asked him.

Qiancheng really felt the urge to go up and join the zombies and skeletons in ganging up on this guy.

"After you finish killing the monsters, let's have a good fight," Qiancheng's tone suddenly became serious, unlike the teasing he had used before.

"No need," Lord Grim replied.

"Why!" Qiancheng blurted out, then regretted it. The other party had already said "You're still far off" once. Why give him a second chance to look down on him?

"No time." But that's what Lord Grim said.

Qiancheng was in tears. Kid! He really was a kid, a kid trying to pester an adult to play with him. So the adult told the kid: "Uncle's busy. Be good and play by yourself!"

The treatment he was receiving at this moment was so similar! Qiancheng didn't know how to respond and decided to wait for this guy to finish killing the monsters before attacking him.

That's what Qiancheng was planning. So he quietly waited on the side. But it wouldn't be quick to kill five monsters at once. Qiancheng wondered if he should go up and help. But then he felt that it would be too spineless. So he simply opened up a small monster himself and killed it to pass the time. But after he finished killing his monster and turned his view, there were still five monsters over there. Let's open another one! After killing it, how come there were still five monsters over there? This guy's technique isn't bad. There's no reason why his monster-killing skills would be so awful! Qiancheng was puzzled, but after looking closely, he realized that the five monsters now didn't seem to be the same five as before?

Just as he wasn't sure, a skeleton monster was pierced by a spear and turned into a pile of bones. Then he saw Lord Grim leading the monsters away to open up a new one, continuing to fight five monsters at once.

Qiancheng spat blood. He was waiting for the guy to finish these monsters and then duel, but the guy didn't take him seriously at all. He was just focused on leveling up!

Qiancheng was furious and decided to go up and help. No, not help, to cause trouble. He would continue to steal monsters until this guy couldn't stand it anymore.

So Qiancheng charged up and stabbed wildly at the five monsters gathered by Lord Grim.

Lord Grim seemed to glance his way, and then Qiancheng received an invitation to join a team.

Damn it, who wants to team up with you! I'm here to steal monsters! Qiancheng angrily rejected the invitation and continued to kill, kill, kill.

The five small monsters died even faster, but looking at the experience points distributed, Qiancheng, the professional monster stealer, had really failed this time.

If two people aren't in a team, the experience from killing a monster will be divided between them. The first hit and the last hit would already take two-thirds, and the remaining one-third would be determined by the ratio of the total damage dealt by the two people.

Qiancheng obviously didn't have the first hit. He originally wanted to fiercely steal the last hit, but he didn't even get a single last hit on any of the five small monsters. Plus, his total damage was completely lower than Lord Grim's, so the experience he got was pitifully small. And in this situation, all the dropped items would belong to Lord Grim. Qiancheng couldn't even get a single copper coin.

What's even more infuriating was that when the previous five monsters went down, Lord Grim had already opened up new monsters on his side and was constantly killing them. Qiancheng tried his best to steal another wave, but the result was as miserable as last time. The result was that he increased Lord Grim's speed of killing monsters, and the other party got the lion's share of the experience, while he ate some scraps. In this calculation, Lord Grim didn't lose out at all, while he was an exploited laborer.

Qiancheng was clearly enraged and lost his mind. After this wave, he started stealing monsters by opening them himself, actively opening a monster and bringing it back.

As a result, this time Lord Grim just left with the monster he had opened himself, leaving the monster Qiancheng had opened for him to play with.

Qiancheng was in tears. What was he doing?

He quickly killed the monster in his hand and charged forward: "Hey, I'm going to fight you with the monster!"

"Stop messing around. Level up properly!" The other party said calmly.

Qiancheng gritted his teeth and swung the battle staff in his hand, preparing to knock it towards Lord Grim, when he suddenly heard a voice nearby: "Oh, why are you guys leveling up together?"

Qiancheng quickly turned his head to see a team with the Blue Brook Guild tag walking towards them. The person speaking was Lan He, the leader of the Blue Brook Guild in the tenth server.

Qiancheng put away his staff and was about to run away.

"Qiancheng, where are you going?" Lan He shouted.

Qiancheng was in tears. Guild leader, are you brainless? Didn't you see that I'm not wearing the guild tag? Isn't that because I don't want to reveal my identity? So he sent a message in the guild while running: "Guild leader, pretend you've mistaken the person!"

"What's going on?" Lan He was confused.

"I offended Lord Grim," Qiancheng said.

"You... what did you do? Did you steal his monster?" Lan He knew this subordinate's problem very well.

"I... I wanted to steal it," Qiancheng cried. He had offended the person, but he didn't get any satisfaction at all. Wasn't that unfair?
