No one was fighting over the leveling area, so everyone could finally start leveling up. The women expertly began finding their respective positions. Clearly, they had formed a fixed routine from leveling in the same place with the same number of people so often. Before long, each of them was in place. After nodding at each other, they all looked at Gu Fei, who seemed rather lost.

"What should I do?" Gu Fei asked, spreading his hands.

"Pull monsters," Luo Luo said.

"I'm a mage!" Gu Fei exclaimed in surprise. Although this was his first time leveling in a group, he figured the mage should be the main damage dealer, not doing the heavy, strenuous work of pulling monsters.

Luo Luo said helplessly, "We're a fixed group. Yu Tian has always been responsible for pulling monsters."

Gu Fei sighed to the heavens. Yu Tian Shen Ming was really too pitiful, always having to stand out in solo battles and do all the hard work of killing monsters. He was a complete babysitter. Then he looked at himself... "Ptooey," Gu Fei spat in disgust. He was actually a substitute for the babysitter.

"It's not easy for a mage to pull monsters here!" Bing Liu Li said from a mage's perspective.

Luo Luo smiled. "Qian Li isn't an ordinary mage. He's incredibly fast."

"Go quickly, go quickly!" Upon hearing this, the women immediately began urging Gu Fei.

Helplessly, Gu Fei picked up his sword and swept across the monsters scattered around.

As the wild goose leaves its cry, so the sword leaves its mark. That was Gu Fei's way of pulling monsters.

Don't think Gu Fei didn't understand the technique of pulling monsters. As a mage, as a mage who had always leveled solo, he was already a master at it. With a circle of dazzling sword light, Gu Fei had already drawn all the monsters in this leveling area behind him. A rumbling train came barreling back.

"Where should I lead them?" Gu Fei shouted.

"Oops! I haven't drawn the circle yet." Luo Luo slapped her forehead.

In fact, the girls' positions and even the order in which they attacked were all pre-designed by Yu Tian Shen Ming. So was the circle Luo Luo mentioned. The girls in this group had limited skill; their "Heavenly Fire Wheels" often failed to hit all the monsters accurately. So Yu Tian Shen Ming came up with a solution: the girls just had to throw their "Heavenly Fire Wheels" into the circle at a fixed time, while he was responsible for bringing the monsters into the circle at the right moment.

In this way, whether or not the "Heavenly Fire Wheels" could hit all the monsters depended entirely on Yu Tian Shen Ming's monster-pulling skills.

"Yu Tian usually does this, so I forgot," Luo Luo said, picking up her staff to draw a circle in the middle of the field, while waving at Gu Fei. "Keep the monsters busy for now. I'll finish drawing it soon."

The women focused intently on Luo Luo drawing the circle.

Female players were always meticulous in everything they did. Luo Luo carefully drew a perfect circle. She admired it for a moment, checking if it was round enough, before waving to Gu Fei. "Okay, bring the monsters over."

The women's gazes shifted from the circle to Gu Fei's location, and they saw Gu Fei standing alone. The firelight around him hadn't faded yet, and monster corpses littered the ground around him.

"No need. I've already taken care of it," Gu Fei said.

The women exchanged glances. They had been watching Luo Luo draw the circle, so how had he cleared all the monsters in such a short time? How did he do it? No one saw.

"Let's wait for them to respawn!" Gu Fei said as he walked back.

"How...how did you kill the monsters?" Luo Luo asked.

"Heavenly Fire Wheel! Didn't you see?"

The women shook their heads in unison.

Killing monsters was apparently less interesting than watching Luo Luo draw a circle. How depressing. Gu Fei sulked.

"Show us again later," Luo Luo said.

"Sure. You go pull the monsters," Gu Fei said.

"Huh?"

"Everyone go pull. I'm enough on my own," Gu Fei directed.

"But usually..."

"That's when Yu Tian is here. The situation is different now, so we should make the appropriate adjustments," Gu Fei said earnestly, exuding the confidence of an expert.

Luo Luo thought there was some truth to that. For example, the group with Zhan Wu Shang in the guild supposedly had a very different leveling style. And that group didn't have many mages; they were mostly melee classes, but their leveling efficiency was about the same as this mage-heavy group.

The deciding factor must be the tactics devised by an expert!

Could Qian Li also be a one-in-a-million online game expert? Luo Luo wondered doubtfully. Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming were definitely old-school masters in online games, and everyone in Zsheng Sheng Zi Jing was sincerely convinced of this. Did Qian Li have that kind of strength? Luo Luo thought that if he had as much gaming knowledge as Yu Tian Shen Ming, he wouldn't have added all his stat points to Agility. Look how fast Qian Li can run! Luo Luo marveled.

While waiting for the monsters to respawn, the women waited for Gu Fei to explain things like positioning, movement, spell placement, and things to pay attention to while fighting. But Gu Fei didn't say a word. He only said three words after the monsters respawned: "Go pull them!"

The women were thrown into confusion, unsure what to do.

"One each, go!" Gu Fei's instructions finally began.

"We're mages!" Some of the girls said doubtfully.

"Shouldn't mages be the best at pulling monsters?" Gu Fei asked, also confused.

Solo mages should indeed be the best at pulling monsters. It's just that very few mages ever solo.

The mage girls exchanged glances.

"Go pull them!" Luo Luo said to the girls. She wanted to see what unique tactics Gu Fei had. During the time she had leveled with Yu Tian Shen Ming, Luo Luo had learned a lot and discovered that there was a lot to learn about online games.

The women hesitantly walked toward the monsters.

"Fireball, shoot!" the girls shouted delicately from all directions.

"Pull them all back here," Gu Fei called.

The women began running back with the monsters. This time it wasn't a train. When one person pulls a group of monsters, the brainless monsters will line up like a train. But now that each person was pulling one, the monsters' formation depended on the girls' formation.

"Get in line," Gu Fei instructed them.

The women lined up, running side by side.

"Form a circle," Gu Fei gestured.

The nine girls moved and formed a 3x3 square. Gu Fei nodded in satisfaction and raised his sword. "Heavenly Fire Wheel!"

The women looked up at the sky. Some of them were still shouting, "We're not in the circle yet."

"Don't look yet. Run a few more steps forward," Gu Fei said in alarm.

His nervous expression infected the women, and the formation became a little chaotic as they hurried forward.

"Okay, stay in place!" Gu Fei said.

The women stopped, and half of them turned back to look for Gu Fei's "Heavenly Fire Wheel."

The fire wheel rolled out at that moment, and Gu Fei shouted, "Descend!"

The fire wheel fell, the ground burned, and the girls' hearts pounded. Luckily, they had listened to Gu Fei and ran away. Part of the fire wheel was falling on top of them.

There should have been nine monsters, but the fire wheel only caught seven. Two of the girls had run too fast while pulling the monsters and lost them.

The fire wheel faded in an instant, and seven burning monsters fell to the ground. Gu Fei walked over. "Just kill the monsters. Why be so fixated on the circle?"

Then he pointed to the two girls in the middle. "Don't be so nervous. I know you can't run as fast as the monsters. But there's enough time. As long as the monsters are in a group, I'll wipe them out."

The girls didn't know what to say, especially Luo Luo.

Gu Fei's method had very little to do with tactics. It was all about displaying power. Compared to Yu Tian Shen Ming's method, the core of that method was Yu Tian Shen Ming's monster-pulling skills. But the core of Gu Fei's method was Gu Fei's spell damage. One Heavenly Fire Wheel and all the monsters were gone... That wasn't skill, that was outrageous spell damage. Although Gu Fei's timing of the "Heavenly Fire Wheel" was very accurate, that little bit of skill was overshadowed by his insane spell damage.

This leveling group was mage-based, so their admiration for Gu Fei was naturally off the charts. The women exclaimed and asked Gu Fei how much spell damage and spell proficiency he had.

Gu Fei looked at his personal stats and reported his spell damage.

With the current Intelligence stat of a level 40 mage, Gu Fei's spell damage, which was mainly boosted by his weapon, no longer seemed so earth-shattering. But it was still much higher than the women's, and coupled with the damage of "Heavenly Fire Wheel," it was just enough to kill level 40 monsters instantly.

But that wasn't the limit of Gu Fei's spell damage. For example, the spell damage attached to the "Spell Mastery" skill wasn't calculated into the spell attack power displayed in the character's stats panel. It only took effect in actual combat.

In addition, the Magic Amplification stat attached to equipment was the same. For example, the "Spell Mastery +1 and Spell Attack Damage +10%" on the Moon Night Spirit Robe were obviously not calculated into the character's stats panel.

In any case, with Gu Fei's combat power, leveling efficiency could only be more outrageous.

Putting aside other things, how could pulling nine monsters into a group by one person in the usual situation be compared to nine people each pulling one monster into a group?

Gu Fei leaned lazily against a tree, watching the nine girls running around.

"Gather when you're done pulling," Gu Fei called.

The girls gathering meant the monsters behind them were also gathering. Gu Fei pointed his sword and summoned a Heavenly Fire Wheel. The world was quiet.

Leveling like this was pretty easy! Gu Fei thought.
