In the Level Glory Rankings, almost all of the top ten players were above level forty, but apart from Song Jian, the nine players that followed were all level forty, differing only in the amount of Experience Points they had acquired;
However, after one day, the top fifteen spots on the Level Glory Rankings had been dominated by players from the City of Hope Alliance, and even among the top thirty, ninety percent were from the City of Hope Alliance. Doomsday City was now overwhelmingly dominant, and no other alliance could stand as an enemy against the City of Hope Alliance;
“Did anyone pick up a gold-quality Skill Book?” asked Song Jian;
Too many monsters had been lured, and a lot of loot had dropped. Song Jian alone couldn’t pick it all up, so those professions that didn’t need to lure monsters began to work as porters, hastily collecting the spoils of battle once the monsters died;
“I have one here!”
“I have two here, one gold and one Dark Gold!”
…
Song Jian did a tally and found that, in one day, they had looted over a dozen gold-quality Skill Books. These Skill Books were for various professions, but required at least level fifty to use, which made the members of the Elite Team internally resolve to level up as soon as possible;
After Song Jian had let the Thousand Swords Art devour more than a dozen gold-quality Skill Books, its level had increased by one, reaching level eight.
At level eight, the Thousand Swords Art could summon between thirty to two hundred and fifty Spirit Swords, with each Spirit Sword now capable of inflicting over two thousand two hundred points of damage. If you were to add a thousand points of fire damage, even without triggering critical hits or damage amplification, it could deal over three thousand points of damage;
As a result, even without triggering the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, two hundred and fifty Spirit Swords could inflict over seven hundred thousand points of damage. Any BOSS below the command level simply had no strength to withstand even one strike from Song Jian, and any battle would result in an instant kill;
“We’ve run out of Ice Marsh Scrolls, let’s head back!” said Song Jian;
After grinding monsters for a day, these members of the Elite Team were not the least bit tired; rather, they were more energetic than ever, wishing they could continue grinding for three days and nights straight;
But unfortunately, without Ice Marsh Scrolls to restrict the monsters’ movements and gather them together, Thousand Swords Art would have difficulty unleashing its full effect, leaving many that would slip through the net;
Except for Song Jian, the levels of the others were too low; the level suppression alone would cause most of their attacks to MISS.
Wang Qi had already begun sending people with the equipment they had acquired to various cities’ auction houses to sell;
Although the players in Doomsday City were of lower levels, there were plenty of professional NPCs in other cities who were quite generous when it came to equipment above level fifty;
When Song Jian returned to the City Lord Mansion, Wang Qi excitedly sent him a message;
“My lord, guess how much we’ve earned this time?”
“`
“How much?” Song Jian asked. He was no longer very interested in Doomsday Coins, as the items he needed couldn’t be bought with them. Many people preferred bartering goods, such as epic gear, which even if one wished to purchase, depended on luck.
“Fifty-six million Doomsday Coins, and I’ve also set aside two batches of the highest quality equipment to sell tomorrow. Moreover, I’ve kept all the materials we got for training our own life profession players. I estimate that at least ten life profession players will reach the expert level!” Wang Qi said.
“Good!” Song Jian smiled. “That should relieve some of the pressure on the city’s construction funds, right?”
“Of course, my lord. You should go out and farm high-level monsters more often. Even if we don’t come across a BOSS, with a few more days like today, our City of Hope Alliance will never be short on money again!” Wang Qi laughed.
“Then why don’t you hurry up and train players to craft magic scrolls? We used up all the Frost Swamp scrolls today. Without them, monster farming efficiency really takes a hit,” Song Jian pointed out.
Without the Frost Swamp scrolls to slow down the monsters’ movement, it wasn’t just the farming efficiency that was affected, but also the safety of those luring the monsters. They were players around level 42 or 43, luring monsters of level 57 or 58, which was incredibly dangerous. Several times today, lure players were entangled by surprise attacks from monsters’ roots due of their suppressed perception and almost lost their lives. If not for the Frost Swamp scrolls slowing them down, we would have likely had many casualties.

“News of our monster farming got leaked by someone; the price of Frost Swamp scrolls have skyrocketed. It will take some time to train our own scroll creators…” Wang Qi said.
Song Jian’s face darkened, knowing that the people involved in today’s farm were almost all members of the Elite Team. Logically, they should not leak any information. However, before they finished farming, the price of the Frost Swamp scrolls had already soared, a clear sign that their farming had been leaked.
“Find out what happened, see who leaked it. We must contain such behavior!” Song Jian said sternly.
“I understand, I’ve already started investigating!” Wang Qi replied. As the actual manager of the Alliance, he bore an undeniable responsibility for such incidents. Most of the Elite Team were veteran players, and those who had joined the Elite Team on their own merit highly valued this hard-won opportunity. Moreover, in the whole of Doomsday City, no one could match the City of Hope Alliance, so betrayal within the Alliance was highly unlikely.
Without the Frost Swamp scrolls, Song Jian had to farm monsters alone in the following days. With the cooperation of the Stone Man Gulu, even if some slipped through, he could handle them. But if he brought those previous players to lure the monsters, the sheer number could easily lead to a team wipe.
A day later, Wang Qi had figured out who leaked the information. It turned out to be a level 43 rogue player who stumbled upon Song Jian and his group’s farming in the Misty Forest. He sneaked in unnoticed because of the forest’s special environment that suppressed everyone’s perception and vision, allowing him to observe their farming.
Amazed by their farming method, the rogue quickly shot a video and posted it on the game forum, creating a sensation. In reality, the rogue was a treasure hunter whose favorite activity wasn’t leveling up by hunting monsters but exploring uncharted areas in the game.
The more untouched the place in the game, the better the loot—treasure chests, herbs, precious ores—these were like gold lying on the ground, waiting for the first person to come and bend over to pick them up.
This treasure hunter had made a fortune this way, and the video also brought him substantial benefits, while once again making the City of Hope Alliance the center of controversy.
Knowing that it wasn’t an insider from his own Alliance who had leaked the information, Song Jian breathed a sigh of relief. And although the rogue wasn’t from Doomsday City and nothing could be done to him, Song Jian memorized his name—Dou Desheng.
“I hope there will be a day when we meet again,” Song Jian mused to himself.
