Chapter 968: Chapter 969 Elite Team_1

“`

Song Jian had originally thought that it would take at least a team of more than thirty people to kill a lord-level boss, yet it turned out to be a small team of five;

If five people could kill a level 45 lord-level boss, then the levels of these five people must be at least around 45 as well, much higher than that of an average player, and they definitely possess a number of powerful skills and their professional classes must surely be extraordinary;

There were many players in the City of Hope Alliance, but not many were top players, and now it was almost all up to Song Jian alone to support them. Wang Qi’s intention for having Song Jian lead the Elite Team was exactly to widen the gap between the levels of the Elite Team and the average players, aiming to create some high-end elites;

However, players led in this way would not be able to become top-notch powerhouses, only those loners or elite teams like this five-man squad have the potential to produce top players;

“A core member position?” Wang Qi was startled. Knowing that because Song Jian limited the number of core members to three hundred, many players in the alliance were dissatisfied. The treatment of core members was far better than that of average players. Wang Qi had mentioned it several times but was rejected by Song Jian every time, unexpectedly, because of these five players, Song Jian made an exception and offered five core member qualifications;

“Alright, I will go and contact them right away. I believe that with the treatment of core members, we can definitely pull them into the alliance!” Wang Qi said excitedly;

The status of core members was very important and the benefits were particularly good. Even with the financial capacity of the City of Hope, they could not support too many. The previous three hundred core members were Song Jian’s way of thanking them for their unwavering support in building the city and the alliance, but subsequent core members had to go through a strict assessment;

By offering five core member qualifications all at once, Song Jian, too, hoped to further enhance the strength of the City of Hope Alliance and also give the other ordinary members a glimpse of hope; otherwise, if the core member qualifications were never opened, many ordinary members would feel disappointed and leave the City of Hope Alliance.

Hum~

A golden light burst forth from the stone creature Gulu. At this point, Gulu already possessed the strength of a lord-level boss, but its level was not high. Now, with Song Jian leading it to farm monsters for leveling, Gulu’s level was rising rapidly, and it was already level 43.

Stone creature Gulu, after reaching level 40, had undergone significant changes in size, having grown much stronger. Its body was covered with stone-like muscles that bulged, filled with explosive power. The surface of its muscles displayed granite-like textures, and every step it took made a thunderous rumbling sound. If it were not for Song Jian’s restraint, it might have charged to fight with the Wood Claw Contaminators;

“I didn’t expect you to be such a belligerent fellow!” Song Jian looked at Gulu and couldn’t help but laugh inside;

Song Jian was no longer using Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, and was now merely performing regular Thousand Swords Art attacks, leaving many Wood Claw Contaminators with just a few hundred Vitality Points;

Gulu had been holding back its desire to fight for quite some time, and seeing about twenty or thirty low-health Wood Claw Contaminators, Song Jian immediately ordered Gulu to charge at them;

Upon receiving the combat command from Song Jian, Gulu appeared very excited. It clenched its two large fists together with a thud, and charged towards the low-health Wood Claw Contaminators;

Although Gulu was a lord-level boss, its movement speed was only a bit higher than that of a common forest walker. Its strength lay in its defense and extremely high resistance. The poison fog of the Wood Claw Contaminators had no effect on it at all, and their sharp claws could only leave a shallow white mark on Gulu’s body, unable to inflict much damage;

Boom!

Gulu charged into the crowd of monsters, raised its hands high, and then hammered down fiercely on the ground. After a loud noise, the ground caved in, forming a large pit. A surge of energy spread outwards in all directions, dealing over a hundred points of impact damage to all the approaching Wood Claw Contaminators;

This attack didn’t deal much damage, but its range was extremely broad, and it also added a dazing effect of over five seconds. After dazing all the surrounding low-health contaminators, Gulu started to rapidly harvest their Vitality Points with one punch each;

The leveled-up Gulu was becoming more and more powerful. It used to only have the Skill Stone Throw, which could only be used to disturb enemies, but now, having become a lord-level boss, it was capable of acting as an MT, fighting on the front lines.

“`

Gulu’s movement speed was too slow and not suited for luring monsters; otherwise, Song Jian would have had an easier time;

Just at that moment, over a dozen players from the City of Hope Alliance’s Elite Team also appeared at the edge of the Misty Forest. Seeing the multitude of monster corpses that had not been incinerated by the translucent flames, everyone’s faces showed surprised expressions.

“No wonder the city lord levels up so fast. So this is how he grinds for XP!” someone commented with a shake of his head;

“Level 55 monsters, this place is too dangerous. If I were alone, I wouldn’t dare to come here. They’re all of the skeleton rank!”

“To level up like this must be awesome, really looking forward to it!”

“Let’s go quickly, the city lord is inside. Who would’ve thought, we’d have our day as XP-farming babies…”

The group excitedly walked deeper into the Misty Forest, not needing to ask for Song Jian’s location, as they could simply follow the trail of monster corpses.

Before long, Song Jian noticed people approaching his location. Although he couldn’t see their faces, at this time, those who dared to enter the Misty Forest were probably only the Elite Team players he had summoned;

“The Elite Team’s got some speed!”

After Gulu had killed all the Woodclaw Contaminators, things finally quieted down. It stuck closely behind Song Jian, watching as he picked up all the items the monsters had dropped;

“City Lord!” someone called out from behind;

Song Jian turned around and saw that it was Zhao Yu leading a dozen people over;

“Zhao Yu, you joined the Elite Team?” Song Jian was somewhat surprised. Zhao Yu, although a friend from the real world, had only joined the game recently. When Song Jian first met him, his strength wasn’t formidable, barely even having constructed a safe house;

Back then, Song Jian had let him join the City of Hope Alliance, but he didn’t expect that Zhao Yu would grow strong enough to join the Elite Team in such a short time;

The Elite Team mostly consisted of core members, and only with the generous benefits of being a core member could an ordinary player’s strength rapidly increase. Hence, those Elite Team members who weren’t core members often had to put in several times the effort to become part of the team;

“Passed the assessment just last week!” Zhao Yu said, seeming somewhat embarrassed, scratching his head;

Song Jian checked Zhao Yu’s level, which was already at 43. This level was at least higher than 98 percent of the players in Doomsday City;

“Impressive!” Song Jian said with a smile, dumping the contents of his inventory out, a few hundred items that piled up like a small mountain, almost all blue quality or higher. Even the materials were no lower than level five. The items alone were probably worth several million Doomsday Coins;

“First, take these items back to the Alliance. Rest up a bit, and once I’ve recovered, we’ll start grinding monsters!” Song Jian said with a laugh;
