394: Real leveling
Chapter 393: True Level Grinding
Several hours later, the door to the Secret Treasure Room slowly opened.
The first one to walk out was Trundle, his face full of smiles, looking to be in an excellent mood, his steps even a little bouncy.
Following behind Trundle was a voluptuous beautiful woman, her face slightly red, her expression extremely unnatural, deliberately avoiding the gaze of others.
With just one glance, Dick knew this was the human form of the Skyscraping Demon Ape; her height of nearly three meters was too obvious, clearly a female giant.
"Big brother, have you conquered that wild Mother Ape already?"
Willump was the first to greet him. He valued the title of "First Little Brother" greatly and was more proactive than other Magic Apes.
"What are you saying?" Trundle turned slightly, pulling the Skyscraping Demon Ape in front of him, and said loudly, "Call her sister-in-law!"
Hearing this, the group of Magic Apes were a little stunned. They had originally thought the Skyscraping Demon Ape would also become a little sister, just like before.
But unexpectedly, the Skyscraping Demon Ape had transformed and become the higher-status "sister-in-law"!
"What are you still standing there for?" Trundle said with dissatisfaction.
"Hello, sister-in-law!!"
Hearing his little brothers greet her in unison, the Skyscraping Demon Ape's shyness deepened. She turned her face away and whispered, "I, I haven't agreed yet..."
"Oh? Then let's go back and have a deeper exchange."
Saying this, Trundle was about to pull the Skyscraping Demon Ape back, his face full of impatience.
"No, no need," the Skyscraping Demon Ape glared at Trundle, then sighed softly, "I agree."
"Haha, A Qing, I knew you wouldn't refuse, I knew it!"
Due to the Skyscraping Demon Ape's special nature, Trundle didn't ask Dick for help but gave her a name himself.
Putting his arm around A Qing's shoulder, Trundle laughed heartily, his entire being radiating the glow of a "fulfilled person" at this moment.
Undoubtedly, Trundle had completely regained his hope for life; there was no way he would have suicidal thoughts anymore.
Afterward, under Dick's operation, A Qing was successfully demoted to a regular Beast, and the Secret Treasure Room could continue refreshing Bosses.
Although "Depressed Trundle" was completed, Dick wouldn't waste the remaining 229 Bosses.
And what needed to be considered now was no longer spawning young Mother Apes, but how to level up the girls.
If they wanted to gain the maximum amount of experience, the remaining Bosses could no longer be finished off with a single blow; the girls had to fight!
Facing floor Bosses close to Level 70, the girls, whose average level didn't exceed 50, were not opponents, even though they were all Witches.
This is because the Secret Treasure Room provides many beneficial buffs, such as infinite stamina, infinite magic power, efficient self-healing, etc., which makes the Bosses' combat power far exceed those of the same level.
If they didn't have cheats, could they still be called Bosses?
Generally speaking, defeating the strongest Boss of a C-rank Underground City requires an A-rank adventure team, with at least two Level 70 professionals in the team.
In comparison, it was simply a pipe dream for the girls to challenge the Bosses; even with Dick added, it would likely be uncertain.
But it didn't matter. Dick could easily use Trundle's divine authority to turn off the Secret Treasure Room's beneficial buffs, or even make them assist the girls.
To put it simply, it meant taking the Boss's cheats and using them for themselves, allowing the girls to also enjoy the benefits of buffs like infinite stamina and infinite magic power!
In addition, the previous method of finishing off could be improved, having Trundle heavily injure the Boss, leaving about 10% of its strength.
Through various restrictive methods, strictly control the difficulty of the Boss, so that it has the ability to fight back but isn't too dangerous.
At the same time, for stability, Dick also arranged for Kun, Donald, Leon, and Trundle to watch from the side, ready to provide assistance at any time.
One must know that most Bosses have trump cards. What if they launch a desperate counterattack at the brink of death, going for a mutual kill?
Thus, under Dick's watertight arrangements, the girls began their "evenly matched" battle with the Bosses.
A flash of white light, and a hairless cat, completely pink and white, appeared. It was incredibly ugly, and its heterochromatic eyes added a touch of eeriness.
Dick recognized this as an Illusion Cat Beast, Level 68, specializing in illusion attacks, very troublesome.
"Lord Trundle, remember to control your strength. Don't leave it with just one breath like before; you need to retain at least 10% of its combat power."
Listening to Dick's instructions, Trundle nodded slightly, then rushed forward with his giant axe.
The Illusion Cat Beast was startled by Trundle's magic power fluctuations and immediately bristled, even though she had no fur.
Soon, a large number of high-level illusions attacked. These terrifying mental magic spells were invisible and intangible, capable of killing people without a trace.
Unfortunately, the illusions had no effect whatsoever, because their target was a god.
In less than ten seconds, the Illusion Cat Beast collapsed weakly onto the ground, looking up timidly, trembling as she looked at Trundle holding the giant axe.
Dick was very satisfied with Trundle's control. He walked forward slowly, looking at the Illusion Cat Beast with a smile, "Next, your opponents are these four young women."
"The rules are simple: win and live, lose and die."
After speaking, Dick and Trundle retreated to the side, while the fully armed girls stepped forward, ready to fight.
To stimulate the Illusion Cat Beast's will to survive and make her fight with all her might, Dick concealed some facts.
With such thorough arrangements, if the girls encountered danger, the bodyguards watching from the side would immediately intervene.
So the outcome was determined from the start; the Illusion Cat Beast had no chance of winning. All she could do was last longer, providing more experience for the girls.
"Meow~"
A hazy cat meow sounded, and the magic power within the girls' bodies immediately became chaotic, making it impossible to even cast a simple low-level spell.
"This is the Illusion Cat Beast's innate magic, capable of interfering with magic power through sound waves. Taking a magic suppression potion can easily resolve it..."
"Don't look into the Illusion Cat Beast's eyes; she possesses more than a dozen high-level eye techniques. Prioritizing attacks on the eyes is key to victory..."
"Xiao Nai, you are the Wuwang Witch; your mental resistance is extremely high. You will be responsible for the main attack in this battle, while the others assist!"
Although Dick didn't directly participate in the battle, he provided guidance through voice transmission from the side, greatly assisting the girls.
Swish—
Half an hour later, Xiao Nai's giant axe sliced across the Illusion Cat Beast's neck. As the head fell, the battle came to an end.
Despite the Illusion Cat Beast being severely injured and having less than 10% of her strength, the girls still fought a difficult battle.
But similarly, the professional experience gained from this kind of perilous battle was far more than what could be obtained by finishing off the Boss.
In a sense, this was true level grinding!
Afterward, they cleared out over a dozen more Bosses, and the girls gradually adapted to the high-intensity combat, their coordination becoming more tacit.
The various guidance suggestions provided by Dick from the side were timely and just right, making it feel as though the girls were taking an exam with the answer key.
Watching one Boss corpse after another being carried out of the Secret Treasure Room, Trundle suddenly thought of something. He leaned closer to the Skyscraping Demon Ape and whispered, "Hey, A Qing, do you... want a sister?"
