I have to say, Zhang Fan is truly a great big brother. He taught Xiao Chen a lot today.
"Big brother, is it really okay to snatch a BOSS like this?"
"What's wrong with it? We're also putting in effort and contributing to the guild."
"Then I'll follow your lead!"
Whether it's right or wrong, it's quite tempting.
A level 60 BOSS is extremely difficult to defeat. It took so many high-level professionals nearly half an hour to wear down its health.
"Boom!"
With a violent explosion, the mountain-like Demon Ape collapsed to the ground.
Then, Xiao Chen saw a team announcement:
"Zhang Fan has killed the Undying Demon Ape, team total attributes +1."
Hearing this announcement, Zhang Fan was practically jumping with rage.
"Damn it, didn't this just expose me?"
If it weren't for this announcement, he would have definitely played deaf and dumb.
But now there was no choice; he had to make a gesture, or else he might incur public wrath.
"You received a team distribution, +10 silver coins!"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but say, Brother Fan is really stingy!
A level 60 silver BOSS, any piece of equipment it drops is worth over ten thousand gold.
Of course, he couldn't say anything, just gave Zhang Fan a thumbs-up: "Brother Fan, you're so generous!"
"Brother Fan isn't the type to hog everything; everyone gets a share. But abilities vary, and it's the thought that counts."
Xiao Chen's output was indeed the lowest, but he still received a massive amount of contribution points and experience, much more than farming small monsters on the city wall.
"You gained experience +10000, contribution points +20."
It takes half an hour to kill a level 60 BOSS, and more than an hour to run from one BOSS to another.
In the meantime, Xiao Chen just followed Zhang Fan around, throwing grenades.
Before long, a golden light flashed beside Xiao Chen, and Zhang Fan's level increased by one.
"Brother Fan, there's a level 50 elite skeleton over there!"
"Pull it into the range of the arrow tower and finish it off."
Why only the arrow tower's range? To prevent others from stealing the monster, because the arrow tower's range is much farther than that of the professionals.
"Okay!"
Xiao Chen was a bit excited; today he had the chance to split a level 50 elite monster with Zhang Fan.
The monster was actually easier to deal with than expected, as both Xiao Chen and the Skeleton Archer had decent attack power.
The elite skeleton summoned hundreds of skeleton clones, which were almost all blown up by the thousands of magic grenades Xiao Chen threw.
"Experience +6000, silver coins +326, Undying Crystal Core +6"
A group of level 45 small monsters brought Xiao Chen very generous rewards.
And the elite monster's health dropped by nearly half!
"Brother Fan, it seems we don't even need to pull it under the arrow tower to finish it!"
In the midst of the small monster group, this elite monster's mobility was very limited.
"Alright, let's just wear it down like this."
They were hundreds of meters high in the air, only needing to mindlessly output damage.
Thanks to the Sevenfold Shot, Xiao Chen's output was quite decent, clearing the surrounding small monsters and steadily increasing his kill count.
"Kill +1"
"Gold coins +5, Undying Divine Fire (Black Iron) +1."
Seeing this drop, Xiao Chen was a bit incredulous.
It was exactly what he needed, a drop worth over two thousand gold coins.
Xiao Qiang's rank could be upgraded by another tier, reaching the bronze level.
"Brother Fan, a black iron item dropped, let me give you some gold coins."
It was indeed a black iron item, but Xiao Chen couldn't say it was a special drop.
However, Zhang Fan took him to farm monsters and level up, and he felt he had to show some gratitude.
"These elite monsters' drops are all about luck.
Whoever kills it gets it, and since your level is low, I won't split the money with you.
When you grow stronger, you can give me more gold coins.
Summoners are poor, always short on money."
Is he hinting at something by crying poverty like this?
"Xiao Chen, I can't speak for others, but I believe you can definitely grow."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was a bit surprised.
It was the first time in his life someone had said something like this to him.
Not being looked up to was Xiao Chen's norm.
"Why?"
"Because you're cautious enough to stay far back when farming monsters."
Alright, let's take that as a compliment.
"In this world, as long as you can survive, you'll definitely grow stronger.
You might not have stood out before, but when you're the only one left alive among your peers, I have to take notice.
Stay alive, and when you have money, send it my way, the more the better."
"Alright, I'll remember that."
Xiao Chen owed a few favors, and he would definitely repay them when he had the means.
After successfully killing an elite monster once, he wanted to do it again and again.
Flying in the air offered great mobility.
Every time Wang Zhen and his team killed a BOSS, they could kill two elite monsters in the meantime.
Later, Xiao Chen also tried to use magic grenades to snatch BOSS kills, but perhaps because they were prepared, he failed every time.
As for elite monsters, Xiao Chen intentionally let a few people take the kills, and in the end, he only picked up two pieces of level 50 bronze equipment.
There were six level 60 BOSSes around the territory, and they were all cleared in a day.
Every time a level 60 BOSS was killed, the entire team would receive some dividends, and the guild's contribution points would increase significantly.
Soon, more defense towers would be built, and the guild territory's functions would become more comprehensive.
"In ten days, we'll clear another wave of level 60 BOSSes. For now, everyone go defend the city."
After killing six BOSSes, everyone had a decent harvest.
This day was probably the fastest Xiao Chen had ever improved.
In one day, he gained enough experience to level up, which was quite remarkable.
In the following days, no one led a team out of the city to kill level 60 BOSSes.
Xiao Chen followed Zhang Fan around, killing elite monsters. Whenever they encountered one, even a level 30 elite monster was cleared.
When faced with dense high-level monsters, it was a barrage of magic grenades.
"Ding, your level +1, total attributes +1, free attributes +5, attack +500, attack speed +0.1"
Every ten levels, the improvement was very noticeable, and the increase in attack speed was exactly what Xiao Chen needed.
"Your level has reached 40, you are now a pillar of the Blue Star Plane.
Please continue to persevere and contribute to the defense of Blue Star.
Plane Treasury rewards: Gold Coins +1000."
This generous reward took Xiao Chen by surprise; he had almost forgotten about the Plane Treasury.
Reaching level 40 was a huge achievement in itself.
With this reward, Xiao Chen could finally purchase six ordinary skill books.
As soon as the money arrived, Xiao Chen immediately spent it, using the six ordinary skill books.
"Your attack range +10"
"Your Multishot +1"
"Your Multishot +1"
"Your attack range +10"
"Your attack range +10"
"You awakened the skill Powerful Strike."
[Powerful Strike: 10% chance to deal double damage.]

His attack range increased by thirty meters, reaching 90 meters!
Sevenfold Shot, attacking seven targets at once, was also a huge improvement.
Powerful Strike was also great, significantly boosting output when fighting BOSSes.
Xiao Chen was very satisfied with these improvements.
[Xiao Chen: LV40 Total Attributes: 3216 Attack Power: 5306 Health: 9800 Defense: 625
Attack Range: 90 meters Attack Speed: 0.58]
These are the base attributes without any bonuses. If you add the various bonuses within the territory, Xiao Chen's attack power could double.
After maxing out the skill books, Xiao Chen gave the remaining two hundred gold to Zhang Fan.
He had to show some gratitude; Zhang Fan had helped him a lot.
The benefits from killing elite monsters far exceeded those two hundred gold.
For the next month, Xiao Chen followed Zhang Fan around every day.
Going out early and returning late, the number of magic grenades Xiao Chen threw had long surpassed a million.
After a month, Xiao Chen's level had risen to 45.
And Zhang Fan had impressively reached level 60, leveling up even faster than Xiao Chen.
It couldn't be helped; he had three summoned beasts, stronger than three people combined, making it incomparable.
Moreover, this guy was already preparing to purchase a fourth summoned beast.
Summoners struggled in the early stages, but once they grew, they became very powerful.
If possible, Xiao Chen would be happy to keep gaining experience with him.
Of course, that was obviously unrealistic.
After Zhang Fan reached level 60, he couldn't continue farming monsters with Xiao Chen.
The higher the level, the more responsibilities one had to bear.
"Xiao Chen, after I buy the fourth summoned beast, I'll be going to tackle level 7 dungeons.
You shouldn't go out of the city alone; farming monsters on the city wall is also fine."
"The teleportation array in the territory will be completed soon, making it easier for you to return to the city."
"Thank you, Brother Fan!"
Xiao Chen was genuinely grateful; Zhang Fan had helped him several times at critical moments.
"No need for thanks, between us, we can just talk money.
Remember, when you get rich, send money."
Without saying much more, Zhang Fan left the guild territory.
He didn't wait for the teleportation array and flew directly back to Tiannan City.
Having a flying summoned beast was just that awesome.
