"The monsters dropped it."

Lin Tianhao replied, and at the same time, he received a notification of nine thousand yuan being credited to his account.

"Damn, Xue Di, do you know some glitch spot where you can farm Level 10 monsters without taking damage?"

No wonder Futu Dunshan was surprised. Lin Tianhao was only Level 3, so it was impossible for him to farm Level 10 monsters head-on.

"No."

Lin Tianhao replied curtly and ignored Futu Dunshan, continuing to farm monsters.

Futu Dunshan looked at the ring in his hand and smiled, "Not going to tell me, huh? I'll find out myself."

Level 10 monsters were Twisted Treants, information that the Futu Guild's exploration team had discovered as soon as they entered the game.

So Futu Dunshan quickly arrived at the Twisted Treant's spawn area.

At this moment, he saw an archer farming monsters ahead.

-426.

-426.

...

Futu Dunshan's eyes widened. At this stage, who the hell could deal 426 damage with a single arrow?

Even their elite team members, with all their gear, barely broke a hundred in attack power.

Lin Tianhao's over-400 damage per arrow, and in a cross-level battle no less, was shocking.

"Xue Di."

Futu Dunshan immediately knelt. Due to some real-life issues, he had entered the game late and was left behind in progress.

For someone who used to dominate in every major game, this was completely unacceptable.

"Xue Di, how about teaming up and helping me level up? I'll pay."

Lin Tianhao initially didn't want to bother with Futu Dunshan, not wanting to waste time.

But then he thought of his sister lying in the hospital and changed his mind.

"Alright, but it'll cost you three hundred thousand."

"Three hundred thousand?"

Futu Dunshan almost cursed out loud at this. To level up to Level 10 for three hundred thousand? He could hire gold farming teams for at most twenty thousand.

"I'll get you to Level 10 by the end of today."

Futu Dunshan hesitated, looking skeptically at Lin Tianhao.

Even though it was only four in the morning and there were twenty hours left.

Even without eating, drinking, or resting, reaching Level 10 in twenty hours was a pipe dream.

"But even so, your price is too high."

He had money, but he wasn't a fool.

"I know it's high, but what if I throw in a full set of Elite-grade Level 10 gear?"

Hearing this, Futu Dunshan's breathing became rapid.

"Xue Di, are you serious?"

"Yes."

Lin Tianhao answered confidently. Level 10 Elite Treants could drop a full set of gear.

Of course, you'd need to be incredibly lucky.

But if you farm enough, it's possible.

"Alright, how about I give you a fifty thousand deposit?"

"No, three hundred thousand upfront."

Futu Dunshan hesitated, but seeing Lin Tianhao's monster farming speed, he quickly agreed.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

"Fine, I'll transfer the money."

Ragnarok had a transfer feature, so there was no need to provide a separate bank account number.

Soon, Lin Tianhao received a notification of three hundred thousand being credited to his account.

The money was in hand.

Lin Tianhao sent a message.

"Wait for me a moment."

With those words, Lin Tianhao hid behind a large tree and logged off.

Futu Dunshan:???

"Damn, did I get scammed? Took the money and logged off? Damn it, I trusted you, and this is how you repay me?"

Futu Dunshan wasn't short on money, but at this moment, he felt like he'd swallowed ten piles of shit, utterly miserable.

Of course, Lin Tianhao hadn't run off.

Now that he had money, he immediately went to the hospital to pay for his sister's surgery.

Looking at Lin Qingqing lying on the hospital bed, Lin Tianhao clenched his fists.

He would make up for all the regrets of his past life.

After paying, Lin Tianhao hurried back to his rented room.

He logged back into the game.

Novice Village No. 10086.

Futu Dunshan was begrudgingly having a few players help him farm Level 4 Windhounds.

Suddenly, he saw a message pop up from his friend list.

"Level 10 Twisted Treants, come over."

Futu Dunshan was stunned. He thought Lin Tianhao had run off, but he was back.

"Alright."

Even though he had cursed Lin Tianhao's ancestors in his mind, hearing that Lin Tianhao would help him level up made him rush over eagerly.

Lin Tianhao didn't waste words, sending a team invite and setting the loot to be picked up only by him.

Futu Dunshan hesitated but said nothing.

But in the next moment, he noticed something outrageous.

Experience distribution... nine to one!!

Lin Tianhao nine, him one?!

Damn, is this how you help me level up?

"Xue Di, um... is there a mistake in the experience distribution?"

"No mistake."

Lin Tianhao replied and began farming monsters.

-426.

-426.

...

Five arrows for one Twisted Treant, and even though Lin Tianhao's attack speed wasn't fast, he could kill one in ten seconds.

Six per minute.

Three hundred sixty per hour!

Moreover, Lin Tianhao's health kept increasing.

Futu Dunshan watched Lin Tianhao continuously hunt Twisted Treants, dumbfounded.

If Lin Tianhao only had high damage, he might think Lin Tianhao had some hidden gear or awakened a talent early.

But Lin Tianhao's stutter-stepping technique was so smooth that the Twisted Treants couldn't even get close before being killed.

Don't think that in a full-dive VR game, stutter-stepping is easy.

Being in the Futu Guild, Futu Dunshan knew that stutter-stepping here was harder than in traditional games.

Because moving, drawing the bow, aiming, and shooting were four steps.

If any step wasn't smooth, the whole stutter-stepping would look stiff.

Even the top archer players in their guild couldn't stutter-step smoothly yet.

"This is practically an art."

Futu Dunshan couldn't help but marvel, activating the recording function to capture Lin Tianhao's stutter-stepping.

He planned to send it to the Futu Guild for their elite archers to study.

Lin Tianhao, however, didn't pay much attention. Stutter-stepping was second nature to him, not even a technique in his eyes.

"Xue Di, what was your previous ID? With stutter-stepping like that, you can't be an unknown."

"Stutter-stepping? It's just a matter of having hands."

Lin Tianhao replied instinctively.

Such stutter-stepping techniques were something almost all archers could do in the era of the Great Cataclysm.

For archers, the real challenge was infinite critical hits and crowd control.

A hundred percent critical hit rate, or infinite critical hits, was not worth it if achieved through stacking attributes.

However, attack techniques could achieve infinite critical hits.

Even with a five percent critical hit rate, infinite critical hits were possible.

That's vital strikes!

For example, hitting the core of a Twisted Treant, the head or heart of a humanoid monster, these vital spots greatly increased the chance of a critical hit.

As for crowd control!

This was also the most challenging operation for archers, especially in team battles, where it was extremely difficult for an archer to perform crowd control.

But he wasn't in the mood to explain all this to Futu Dunshan, continuing to hunt Twisted Treants.

While hunting, Lin Tianhao moved forward. The experience from Common-grade Twisted Treants wasn't high.

To bring a deadweight to Level 10 in one day, he needed to hunt Elite-grade Twisted Treants.

While Lin Tianhao hunted Twisted Treants, Futu Dunshan had already sent the recorded video to their guild leader.

Futu Shenlang.

The leader of the Futu Guild.

He was leveling up at the time, but then he received Futu Dunshan's video.

"Stop sending me videos and focus on leveling."

"Leader, take a look, there's a surprise."
