Chapter 46
The System's Forced Storyline Stalling
In an instant, the team chat was flooded with messages again.
Most players cheered over the massive experience gains, while some quietly picked up gear, feeling deeply grateful to Shen Feng. At the same time, some were curious.
The Guild Leader clearly hadn't made a move, and the monsters in the grinding zone were extremely spread out. How had he killed them all?
Could he be using some kind of cheat?
Shen Feng saw the questions in the team chat. Thinking there was no point in hiding it since everyone would find out sooner or later, he revealed that his summoned beasts had permanent duration, attaching a screenshot of them auto-grinding.
This revelation immediately caused a sensation among the team members.
"Sitting in town while experience falls from the sky... Only our great Guild Leader could pull off this kind of grinding."
"This is absolutely insane!"
"Guild Leader Shi Tian has shattered my worldview once again!"
"I want to follow the Guild Leader forever and just be a useless leech enjoying free experience."
...
Within the team, other Summoner players almost knelt before Shen Feng. Why was the gap so massive when they shared the same class?
Thus, the quiet Demon Realm zone became incredibly lively under Shen Feng's lead.
While Shen Feng's summoned beasts slaughtered monsters, the guild members and military personnel ran around collecting gold coins and gear.
Since they had nothing else to do, everyone chatted enthusiastically in the team channel.
Time flies when grinding. Before they knew it, the second day dawned. Since the game time was synchronized with reality, it meant it was also early morning in the real world.
After grinding continuously, everyone in the team had leveled up by at least three to four levels, with lower-leveled players even gaining four to five levels.
Normally, if they were to grind on their own, gaining just two levels would take at least three to four days.
Yet with Shen Feng, it took only five to six hours. This "charity run" left the team members grinning from ear to ear.
The guild players who were used to this treatment were fine, but the military members who had never been boosted by Shen Feng before were instantly won over by his power, joining the guild veterans in flattery.
"Strong! Too strong! It would be great if we could join the New Era Guild!"
"General Shi Tian is amazing!"
"The future of the Dragon Nation depends on General Shi Tian!"
"General Shi Tian is the pride of the Dragon Nation!"
...
Just then, a golden light erupted from Shen Feng, and a system notification rang out.
*Ding! Your level has successfully risen to Level 80. You receive +10 to all attributes, +50 Free Attribute Points, and +10 Skill Points. Please allocate them wisely.*
"This leveling speed is absolutely exhilarating."
Shen Feng looked at his rapidly rising level with a look of pure satisfaction.
In just five to six hours, he had climbed from Level 70 to Level 80.
This was incredibly absurd.
One must know that in the Yuanwu Continent, apart from his New Era Guild, the top players were only around Level 30. It was certain that for a long time to come, these top players would have to grind hard just to reach Level 50 for their second class advancement.
However, he was different. Not only did he possess the Hundredfold Reward Boost talent,
but with tens of thousands of summoned beasts spread across dozens of grinding spots, Shen Feng felt he could reach Level 99 in less than a day.
Just as Shen Feng was imagining this beautiful future, a special system notification rang out.
*Ding! Congratulations on slaying a Level 75 Frost Troll (Common Creature). You receive 6,000 Experience Points. Activating the Hundredfold Reward Boost, you receive 600,000 Experience Points.*
*Ding! Congratulations on slaying a Level 80 Demonized Earth Dragon (Elite Creature). You receive [number] Experience Points. Activating the Hundredfold Reward Boost, you receive [number] Experience Points.*
*Ding! Notice: Your current experience points have reached the daily limit. Continuing to slay monsters will not grant any experience points. Experience gain will resume after the system resets at midnight.*
...
"What the hell..."
Seeing the system notification, Shen Feng couldn't help but curse.
Having dominated games for decades in his past life, he never expected the Yuanwu Continent to have a daily experience cap.
"Isn't this system just forcing a storyline stall?
Wouldn't it be better to let me hit Level 99 and awaken directly?
And yet you play this trick on me!"
Shen Feng had spent the entire night painstakingly positioning his army of summoned beasts, only for the system to tell him he couldn't gain more experience after just a few hours. Anyone would be furious.
"I haven't even put my pants on yet, and you show me this?"
Only the words "extremely frustrated" could describe Shen Feng's current mood.
But what could he do?
Since the system was set up this way, he could only passively accept it.
"Well, at least now I have a reason to take my teammates grinding every day."
With his Hundredfold Reward Boost talent, it would only take him three to four hours to cap his daily experience. For the rest of the day, while he completed quests, he wouldn't mind leading teams to help the Dragon Nation soldiers and guild members level up.
Thinking of this, Shen Feng calmed down a bit. He checked the time; it was already 10:30 AM.
"I'll go to sleep first today. These night owls haven't synchronized their real-world strength yet. Grinding for so long must have exhausted them; they're probably just too polite to say so."
With that in mind, Shen Feng prepared to tell them to log off and rest.
But the moment he opened the team chat interface, he found everyone chatting like crazy.
"Damn! Am I the one who synchronized my strength, or is it them? Why does it feel like they aren't tired at all?"
Shen Feng cursed inwardly.
"Fine, I'll lead them for one more hour. After that, we'll rest. Tomorrow, I have to deal with the Demon Realm."
Not wanting to ruin their excitement, Shen Feng decided to boost them for one more hour before logging off to sleep.
...
*Ding...* (Omitted)
An hour passed quickly. The guild members and Dragon Nation soldiers spent it in pure joy. Their levels rose by another level, and their backpacks and spatial rings were stuffed to the brim. It was a triumphant return.
"Hahaha, what a massive haul today! These few hours are worth over a week of grinding. Thank you, Guild Leader Shi Tian!"
"Exactly! My inventory can't even hold any more gear. Meeting Guild Leader Shi Tian must have used up all the luck of my life."
"Hahaha, Guild Leader Shi Tian is too good! If I were a girl, I would definitely offer myself to you. Even being a mistress would be fine!"
"Thanks again, Guild Leader Shi Tian!"
...
The group excitedly expressed their gratitude to Shen Feng.
On the other hand, seeing so much experience go to waste pained Shen Feng deeply. After sending a message to the team about going to sleep,
he returned to the tavern in the Demon Realm and logged off.
His consciousness returned to reality. After a simple wash, he went to sleep.
