Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

"Screw fighting, I'm not fighting anymore."

Su Chen shook his head decisively.

The smaller monsters at the back each provide less than two thousand experience points.

Even if it takes three hours to clear all the monsters underground, you'll only get a few hundred thousand experience points at most.

They only spent a total of twenty minutes from entering the instance to defeating the boss, and that was because he was learning Lin Shiqing's skills, which wasted a lot of time.

With three hours, you can at least defeat the boss nine times!

Even a dog wouldn't bother with a monster that has 2,000 experience points.

Although I won't be able to clear many poison layers by not fighting monsters, my priority now is to reach level 20 and learn new skills.

"Not fighting anymore?" Lin Shiqing was taken aback. "But there are still many monsters inside, each one gives 1800 experience points..."

"Time is money, my lady." Su Chen waved his hand. "Let's go, get out of here."

Although Lin Shiqing didn't understand, she still obediently followed.

The two figures blurred and exited the instance space.

Outside the dungeon portal, the place was still bustling with noise.

As soon as Su Chen and Lin Shiqing came out, they bumped into a group of people.

The leader was none other than Zhao Kuo and his group whom they had encountered outside the instance earlier.

The difference is... Zhao Kuo now has a tall man with a full beard by his side.

The man was wearing a tight pink shirt, shorts, and white socks.

In his hand, he also held a priest's staff inlaid with a cross.

The moment Su Chen saw the man, his eye twitched violently.

Holy crap.

Don't come any closer!

When Zhao Kuo saw Su Chen and Lin Shiqing emerge from the portal, he was first taken aback, then glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"Hey, isn't this Shiqing?"

The astonishment on Zhao Kuo's face instantly turned into a mocking smile.

He stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Su Chen with undisguised contempt.

"I told you this kid wasn't cut out for it! No matter how good his profession is, without connections, what kind of power can he have in this world? And he dares to bring two people into this dungeon?"

Zhao Kuo's henchmen also joined in the laughter.

"Brother Zhao, it's only been less than half an hour, right?"

"Half an hour? I bet they didn't even make it past the first wave of monsters and were so scared they quit."

Zhao Kuo proudly raised his chin and pointed to the bearded pastor beside him.

"Shiqing, look, this is a B-level priest from our provincial capital. This position was originally yours!"

"I told you, if you team up with me, this dungeon will be a piece of cake. Why waste your time with this kid?"

Upon hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Lin Shiqing's anger flared up instantly.

"Zhao Kuo, watch your mouth! Don't think that just because your father knows my dad, I won't dare to beat you up!"

She stepped forward, her staff already raised.

"Our little Su Zi..."

"Hey, hey, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."

Su Chen grabbed Lin Shiqing's wrist and pulled her back sharply.

His gaze was fixed on the five burly, bearded men in pink shirts and white socks in front of him, and he felt a wave of nausea wash over him.

That's disgusting.

This visual impact is a hundred times more terrifying than that ancient tree spirit.

No, I can't stay even a second longer.

"Let's go, let's go in quickly."

Su Chen pulled Lin Shiqing along and plunged into the portal in the dark forest.

He's lost even the interest in showing off and getting humiliated.

What if sparks fly and love blossoms?

Zhao Kuo watched the two disappear into the portal, his smile freezing on his face.

"This kid... is ignoring me again?!"

"Brother Zhao, I guess you hit a nerve. He's not convinced and wants to go in and get beaten up by the monster again."

The younger brother next to her said with a coquettish expression.

Zhao Kuo sneered.

"He's courting death. Those bloodthirsty wolves inside won't show mercy just because he's defiant. Come on, let's go in too. Once we clear this level, I'm going to give this kid a good thrashing!"

……

[Warning: You have entered the Dark Forest (Nightmare difficulty).]

With a flash of light, the two returned to the gloomy forest.

Lin Shiqing was dragged along by Su Chen and ran wildly until they finally stopped.

"Little Su, what are you doing! Why are you running?"

Lin Shiqing shook off Su Chen's hand and glared at him angrily.

"That Zhao Kuo is so arrogant, why didn't you let me beat him up? I should have just thrown the gold equipment that just dropped in his face!"

Su Chen patted his chest, still shaken.

"Young lady, didn't you see their outfits? Damn, if he gets attached to me, who's going to compete with you in peeing anymore?"

"That's true..."

Lin Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and when she recalled the other people's attire, she felt a chill.

Immediately, her face flushed bright red, as if it were steaming.

"You, you, you're not allowed to mention that again!"

Although we did compete back then, that day... oh! Anyway, it's not allowed to be mentioned again!

"Alright, forget about those idiots."

Su Chen adjusted his staff and looked ahead.

"Let's continue."

"Oh, should we just follow the same route as last time?"

Lin Shiqing asked.

"Who said we were going to fight monsters?"

Su Chen smiled.

He held up a finger and waved it in front of Lin Shiqing.

"Look, it took us almost twenty minutes to get to the boss, fighting our way through mobs, didn't it?"

Lin Shiqing nodded.

"Then, we took five seconds to defeat that old tree spirit, right?"

Lin Shiqing nodded again.

"So here's the question."

A slight smile appeared on Su Chen's lips.

"Since the rewards for clearing the level are so generous, why don't we skip the process of defeating the mobs and go straight to the boss?"

Lin Shiqing's mind went blank for a second.

"Go straight for the boss?"

"yes."

Su Chen said matter-of-factly, "Let's go invisible and parkour straight to the BOSS room. We'll skip wasting time fighting the mobs. Once we're in front of the BOSS, I'll summon my snake guards, annihilate it, and get the experience!"

"Exit the game, reset, and re-enter."

Su Chen glanced at the time on the panel.

"Let's be more efficient this time. Ten minutes to run the map, five seconds to kill the boss. A run will take a maximum of ten minutes."

"Ten minutes, three million experience points."

"Just grind it a few dozen times, and you'll get the level, right?"

The entire instance space was so quiet that only the sound of the wind in the distance could be heard.

Lin Shiqing stared blankly at Su Chen.

Is this even possible?

Her worldview is undergoing an unprecedented shock.

In this world, copies are synonymous with danger.

Every professional entering a dungeon is like walking on thin ice, proceeding with extreme caution.

Clearing out mobs, devising tactics, finding mechanics, and enduring tough pressure... this is the normal process of running a dungeon.

And Su Chen... actually intends to use a nightmare-level dungeon as an ATM for grinding experience?

Skip the mobs, run through the map and instantly kill the boss?

A refresh every ten minutes?!

After holding it in for a long time, Lin Shiqing finally managed to utter a sentence.

"Little Su...you're so shameless!!"
