Opening the system menu, a leaderboard option indeed appeared.The leaderboard only listed the top 50 individuals, with the undisputed number one spot undoubtedly belonging to Li Mingyou.Following closely in second place was a familiar name—Yang Xuan.
Second Place, Yang Xuan, Level 2 (9/50)Third Place, Zhang Peng, Level 2 (7/50)Fourth Place, Wang Tao, Level 2 (3/50)Fifth Place, Yang Haocheng, Level 2 (0/50)...
The top five were all individuals who had reached Level 2, with Li Mingyou soaring high above at Level 3 (39/100).Although it seemed like only one level difference, even the fastest among those other than him, Yang Xuan, had only gained 19 experience points. Meanwhile, Li Mingyou had already accumulated a full 99 points—a fivefold gap!Nonetheless, Li Mingyou was quite surprised; Yang Xuan truly had some skill and courage to fight monsters so quickly.
With 19 experience points, considering he was in a team, even as the main force, their squad had至少 already killed more than a dozen Level 1 monstrous creatures.This not only indicated their high efficiency but also likely meant they had excellent coordination during combat; anyone injured would inevitably affect the speed of leveling up.
However, he was surprised, while the people of Settlement 0 were ten times more surprised.Yang Xuan had thought his progress was already fast enough and that no one in the entire settlement could compare with him. But upon seeing the leaderboard, he was stunned.He was ranked second, which wasn't unacceptable. After all, there are always hidden experts in the civilian ranks, and he hadn't been arrogant enough to think he was unbeaten in the world. Yet, topping the leaderboard with such ease?
His opponent had already reached Level 3? And had already obtained 39 experience points?!This gap was massively exaggerated, right?
After the shock, Yang Xuan quickly thought of the person he had seen heading straight for the Level 2 area.Hmm, that guy looked like an innocent young man, not particularly robust. Although he wasn't as feminine as those "oppa" types, he was indeed quite handsome, fitting Yang Xuan's definition of an innocent youth.
He even maliciously thought that maybe that fellow's equipment was earned through soft living.But if anyone could have such a fast progress rate, it could only be someone who went alone to the Level 2 monster area.
Unexpectedly, appearances could deceive; this guy looked like an innocent youth but turned out to be a fierce character...
Yang Xuan was clear about this: even with better equipment, defeating Level 2 monstrous creatures alone was not an easy task. He admitted that even he would find it difficult to achieve such progress.Moreover, this person had already reached Level 3. Could it be that he had already gone to the Level 3 monster area?
Thinking of this, Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel slightly chilled down his spine. If this continued, wouldn't the gap just keep widening?
Determined, Yang Xuan stood up without rest and led his subordinates to continue searching for their next prey.Even Yang Xuan, ranked second, was so shocked; let alone the other players in Settlement 0.
At that moment, the chat channel was like a lively market, full of noise.
"Holy cow, Level 3?! How did this person reach level 3 so quickly?"
"Yeah, this Li Mingyou is too离谱了吧? It hasn't even been that long, and he's already level 3? Plus, he still has almost half a bar of experience left!"
"离谱至极!这简直太离谱了!"
"I haven't even left the village yet, and this person is already level 3..."
"Is this guy cheating or something?"
"Cheating? This isn't a real game. How could you cheat?"
"This Li Mingyou must have been a special forces soldier. Such a person would be a real boss in this world... If only I could get on his coattails and train with him. In half a month, I could reach level 10."
"You're right! If we could ride on this big shot's coattails..."
"Forget it, why would this big shot take along these losers?"
"Because I'm awesome! I'm skilled in all sorts of postures, experienced, and will ensure the big shot is satisfied!"
"..."
"Hey girl, how about we meet up first? You can practice with me first; I don't mind."
...
Li Mingyou watched the conversations in the chat channel and felt somewhat speechless.However, it seemed that everyone's atmosphere was much better afterward. Five people had successfully reached Level 2, and with him as the outlier with advanced progress, it seemed to give everyone a lot of confidence. The mood wasn't as bleak as before.
More and more people who were originally onlookers began looking for teammates in the chat channel, preparing to step outside and kill monsters.
This was naturally a good thing. Everyone was from China, and Li Mingyou didn't want to see them all just loafing in the village and being wiped out by the system in half a month.
Once he had time in the evening, he would organize some information about certain monsters and share it with everyone.
However, for now, he still needed to hurry up and raise his own level.
Half a month was too long. Li Mingyou estimated that in about three days, he could go and kill the boss in the beginner village.
After closing the chat channel, Li Mingyou got up and stretched. Then he let out a cold laugh: "It seems that guests have arrived..."
Suddenly, he sidestepped, dodging to the side as a fierce gust of wind passed him. The scorching breath nearly brushed past Li Mingyou's shoulder. Looking closer, the偷袭er was a Flame Tiger.
However, the Flame Tiger in front of him was noticeably different from those he had encountered before.
Normally, Flame Tigers are about 1.5 meters tall and less than 3 meters long without their tails. But this Flame Tiger in front of him was over 2 meters tall and more than 4 meters long—an absolute giant.
In his previous life, the Northeast Tiger would be like a kitten compared to this creature.

An Elite monster!
Li Mingyou took a deep breath, gripping his sword tightly as his expression became serious.
Without a doubt, this was his first somewhat decent opponent in the real dungeon world.
But he had known before entering the forest area that he might encounter elite monsters. If he were afraid, then he wouldn't have come here.
This Flame Tiger was nothing more than a larger kitten to him; it had some strength but not much...
