The Qingzhu Club closes at 10 p.m.

Xu Zhiyi changed back into her own clothes and went to the front desk to collect her wages.

A full 400 silver dollars!

This is the highest daily wage he has ever earned since he started working.

To thank Lin Wei for introducing him to a job, he treated them to oden at a convenience store before saying goodbye and going home.

The nights at the end of September were already quite cool.

Xu Zhiyi glanced at his phone. The various data in the short video backend were still growing. His account, "Midnight Butcher," had already surpassed 35 followers.

This wave of traffic is quite significant.

I estimate that by tomorrow morning, his number of followers will have a chance to exceed 40.

However, that's not what he's concerned about right now.

Now that it's late at night and everyone is quiet, he should go and level up.

He scanned a shared bicycle on the roadside and easily made his way to the grain and oil market in the south of the city.

The grain and oil market was quiet late at night, with only the distant lights of vehicles driving on the road providing a little illumination to the dilapidated market.

Xu Zhiyi parked the car, put on her action camera, took out a slingshot and steel balls from the side pocket of her backpack, and then slowly walked into the market.

After his "cleanup" over the past few days, the number of rats in the market has decreased sharply.

Xu Zhiyi wandered around the market for a full five minutes before spotting the first mouse.

"puff!"

The steel ball hurtled through the air, and the little cutie instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating a low-level rat demon x1

[Experience points +5]

Current experience points: Lv.4 (970/2800)

Xu Zhiyi continued searching for her next target.

Upon reaching Lv.4, the experience gained from killing ordinary rats is halved, significantly reducing his experience gain efficiency. However, even so, hunting rats remains the best way to gain experience.

Little by little, great things are achieved; grains of sand can be piled up to form a tower.

As long as you keep fighting monsters, leveling up is just a matter of time.

He strolled slowly through the market, and whenever he spotted a mouse, he would quickly give it a steel ball, his movements clean and efficient, without any fancy moves.

More than an hour passed quickly.

He hunted down more than twenty rats, and his experience bar moved forward a little further.

Current experience points: Lv.4 (1080/2800)

It's still too slow.

At the current rate, it will take at least another seven or eight days to upgrade.

Moreover, there seem to be fewer and fewer rats in this market, so we need to find a new monster-spawning spot.

Xu Zhiyi was pondering to herself, preparing to finish work and leave, when out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a rat's head peeking out from behind a cement pillar in the distance.

He immediately stopped and locked his gaze on his target.

This rat was very large, as long as an adult's arm, head and tail included. It had black fur all over its body, glossy and shiny, and its beady green eyes gleamed in the darkness.

What's most striking is its two large front teeth, which protrude beyond its lips, making it look a bit like a squirrel.

What breed of mouse is this?

It's way too big!

[Detection indicates that the rat demon leader has been entrenched in this granary for a long time, stealing the essence of the spirit grain, causing continuous damage to the local spirit grain storage.]

[Current map quest issued: Players are requested to kill the Rat Demon Leader]

[Mission Objective: Defeat 1 Rat Demon Leader]

[Task Rewards: 500 Experience Points, 5 Silver Coins]

Xu Zhiyi's pupils contracted slightly.

Rat Demon Leader?

This should be considered an elite monster, right?

Xu Zhiyi had played games before and knew that monsters in games are usually divided into three categories: ordinary monsters, elite monsters, and BOSS monsters.

Regular monsters are easy to defeat, but the rewards are low; elite monsters are a bit more difficult to defeat, but the rewards are more generous; boss monsters are the most difficult, but the rewards are also the most generous!

I wonder if this elite monster will drop any good items?

He licked his slightly dry lips, and his eyes sharpened again.

He took out the steel balls, put them in his leather bag, and slowly approached the cement pillar.

At that moment, the large rat was holding half a sausage that it had somehow gotten its hands on and was gnawing on it, seemingly oblivious to the impending danger.

When they were about fifteen meters away, Xu Zhiyi stopped, tightened the rubber band, and aimed to fire.

"call out!"

The steel ball shot out, aiming straight for the large rat's head.

With a muffled "thud," the large rat flew out sideways, rolled a few times on the ground, and the sausage it was holding in its two paws also flew away.

However, this big rat, with its thick skin and tough flesh, did not die on the spot. Instead, it struggled to its feet and turned to flee frantically into the depths of the market!

Xu Zhiyi immediately started to chase after her.

As he ran quickly, he skillfully took out the steel ball, put it in his leather bag, raised his arm, pulled the rubber band by feel, aimed at the big rat, and shot it.

"call out!"

The second steel ball flew through the air and struck the large rat on the back.

The large rat stumbled, rolled on the ground once, then quickly got up and continued to flee, albeit at a slightly slower pace than before.

This rat is incredibly clever!

Such thick skin?

Xu Zhiyi was slightly surprised; this was the first time he had encountered such a "resilient" rat.

No wonder it was mistaken for the "Rat Demon Leader" on the game panel.

But even the most "resilient" rat must die tonight!

He continued shooting, firing another steel ball.

"puff!"

A muffled thud.

The large rat suddenly collapsed to the ground, its body rolling several times like a ball. One side of its head was dented, bleeding profusely. Its limbs twitched violently for a while, and then it stopped moving completely.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating the Rat Demon Boss x1]

[Experience points +500]

[Silver +5]

[Dropped Item: Rat Demon Boss's Fang x1, already automatically picked up]

[Task Completed]

Current level: Lv.4 (1580/2800)

A series of notifications appeared in the field of vision.

Item dropped?

This was the first time he had ever gotten something from a monster.

It still picks up the mouse automatically, so he doesn't have to touch it himself.

This feature deserves high praise!

Xu Zhiyi opened her backpack.

Upon rummaging through the miscellaneous items, they found not only an extra silver ingot inside the backpack, but also two sharp, white teeth with traces of blood on their roots.

【Rat Demon Leader's Fangs (Good Quality)】

[Type: Refining Material]

[Description: The teeth of the rat demon leader, formed through long-term cultivation, contain a faint demonic power. They are hard and sharp, and can be used to forge small spiritual weapons such as daggers and throwing knives.]

Refining materials?

Xu Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

This seems to be a completely new system!

Those who frequently cultivate immortality know that weapon crafting is a crucial part of the cultivation process!

From small items like talismans and brushes to storage rings, and from large items like magic treasures and spiritual weapons, all are obtained through crafting. This is one of the core methods for cultivators to enhance their combat power and aid in their cultivation.

I just don't know when this weapon crafting system will be available.

Xu Zhiyi wrapped the mouse teeth in paper, carefully put them into her schoolbag, then packed her things, left the grain and oil market, and rode a shared bicycle home.

The night breeze was cool and felt very comfortable on my face.

As he rode his bike, he calculated his day's earnings.

The number of followers has skyrocketed, and the video revenue is considerable.

The working conditions at the gym are also quite good.

However, the happiest moment was when he killed the Rat Demon Leader. He not only gained experience and silver, but also obtained refining materials, which allowed him to see the new function ahead of time!

He's already starting to look forward to it with great anticipation!
