Chapter 101: Rapid Ranking Push
Chapter 101: Rapid Ranking Push
After holding back for half a month, Li Wu was ready to unleash his ultimate skill and climb the rankings.
The past half-month had been busy for Li Wu. He spent 18 hours a day studying, and his brain was close to exhaustion.
Whether outside or inside the Mystic Realm, his mind never stopped working.
For half a month, twice a day, for about half an hour to an hour each time, Li Wu stayed in the Mystic Realm, accumulating almost two days' worth of time.
For an ordinary person, spending two days or twenty days in the Mystic Realm might not make much difference.
But for Li Wu, with his photographic memory and quick mind, the situation was entirely different.
In two days, Li Wu had gathered all the information he needed.
"The so-called Mystic Realm ranking push can be seen as a game of clearing dungeons.
And in games, there are always strategies.
Even if there aren't any guides on forums, as long as I gather enough information, I can create the best dungeon-clearing strategy myself!"
Li Wu, with his broad-mindedness, never took on a challenge without confidence. So, right after stepping into the second layer of the Underground Cavern, he began his performance.
Since he had chosen solo mode, only he and the little skeleton entered.
With just the two of them, they walked side by side.
Li Wu and the skeleton walked quickly, as he didn't intend to linger on the second layer.
"Ranking push is about earning points, and there are three ways to do so: killing monsters, walking, and staying in a location, with the best method being clearing stages.
Defeating the stage boss and entering the third layer will earn you a significant amount of points.
Even clearing the third layer's monsters will grant you rewards for killing higher-tier monsters.
So, there's no need to linger on the second layer!"
This logic made sense, and those who pushed for rankings understood it, but the issue was how to avoid staying on the second layer, or the initial layer?
This problem had stumped many!
After all, every layer of the dungeon was vast, with complex and intricate environments, and hidden Summoned Beasts.
Moreover, the starting point was different each time, and with various factors at play, quickly passing the initial stage was extremely difficult. Even with good luck, it would take more than half an hour to clear the initial stage.
But for Li Wu, this wasn't a problem.
He had memorized the terrain of the second layer and the areas where Summoned Beasts were active and hidden.
This was the natural advantage of someone with a photographic memory playing this game.
If he wanted, he could easily avoid these Summoned Beasts.
And so, Li Wu and the little skeleton walked without any hindrance for five minutes, arriving directly at the stage boss of the second layer.
Here, Li Wu faced his second challenge.
Finding the initial stage boss was a challenge, and defeating it was equally difficult.
But for Li Wu, this challenge wasn't a challenge at all.
Over the past half-month, he had repeatedly teased this boss.
Li Wu even knew all of its attributes.
...
Name: Spiky Hedgehog
Strength: 3-Star
Quality: Black Iron
Status: Annoyed (Why is this human here again?)
Skills: Rampage (Mastered), Needle Shower (Mastered), Burrow (Mastered), Dust Storm (Mastered)
This stage boss was particularly annoyed when it saw Li Wu and the little skeleton approaching. It had been seeing them every day for the past few days.
Lu Wu and his antics had been a real handful, and now, seeing Lu Wu again, he was seething with anger.
Without hesitation, he began charging up his power, ready to attack the moment the Mini Skeleton stepped into his offensive range.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Just as the Mini Skeleton was about to enter his attack range, the Spiky Hedgehog was thrilled. He had his power ready to give the Mini Skeleton a good hit, but just before entering his attack range, the Mini Skeleton stopped and stood still.
The Spiky Hedgehog was baffled. Why stop? Come over here! But the Mini Skeleton stubbornly refused to budge.
This frustrated the Spiky Hedgehog. He had been charging up, which required a lot of mental and physical energy!
He had to try provoking the Mini Skeleton, but it didn't budge. Helpless, the Spiky Hedgehog had to relax his charge to maintain his stamina.
Just as he relaxed, Lu Wu gave the order.
"Now! Go!"
At Lu Wu's command, the Mini Skeleton charged forward. The Spiky Hedgehog reacted too late and could only unleash a wave of Needle Shower to block, but the Mini Skeleton ignored its spikes, knowing they couldn't hurt it.
In an instant, the Mini Skeleton rushed to the Spiky Hedgehog's front. The baseball bat plunged down, and with a swift flick, the Spiky Hedgehog was lifted into mid-air. Then, spinning the baseball bat, a series of loud cracks filled the air as it struck the Spiky Hedgehog repeatedly. After a few combos, the boss was defeated.
Lu Wu's Realm Bracelet timely chimed with a notification.
[Ding, you have successfully defeated the second layer's boss. You gain 50 points, and your current points are 50!]
Lu Wu ignored the notification and proceeded to the third layer with the Mini Skeleton.
As Lu Wu and the Mini Skeleton stepped into the third layer, the Realm Bracelet sounded again.
[Ding, you have entered the third layer. Stay in the third layer for twenty minutes, and you will receive 50 points.]
Lu Wu still didn't pay attention to this. When he entered the third layer, he didn't immediately take action.
Instead, he observed the situation outside from the safe zone and started turning his thoughts.
At this moment, Lu Wu was organizing the strategy for the third layer.
Yes, the strategy for the third layer!
Although Lu Wu himself had never entered the third layer, he could gather information about it.
During the day, he stayed in the restaurant to study, and there were other Summoners there, including some Ordinary Three-Star Summoners.
After they cleared stages, they would chat, and Lu Wu could collect a lot of information just by listening. Moreover, sometimes he would use his good looks to get close to girls and extract intelligence.
Half a month was enough time for him to gather information about the third layer.
Additionally, with Lu Wu's incredible brain, he only needed a glance at the safe zone. Closing his eyes, he visualized the third layer's approximate map and some Summoning Beast distribution information based on the second layer's cavern and the information he had.
Quickly, he formulated a strategy for his next actions.
"Let's go! My information is correct. Fifty meters ahead, there's a suitable terrain for our next plan!"
After speaking, Lu Wu took action again. But this time, instead of leading the way, he followed behind the Mini Skeleton. After all, he hadn't been to the third layer before, and his confidence wasn't as high as it was for the second layer.
