Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 80: Level Up

With Xu Fengʼs stern warning, Zhao Kai no longer acted with excitement as he focused up.

Although he didnʼt really care much about the Divine World, Zhao Kai was willing to listen to assist Xu Feng.

After all, it became quite clear to him that Xu Fengʼs attitude and behavior toward the Divine World were serious. His mannerisms, demeanor, and strategic plays made him realize just how much research he had done.

ʼSigh, Iʼm being infected by Feng now. Why am I overthinking so much?ʼ Zhao Kai shook his head, hoping to clear his mindset.

Leave the thinking part to Xu Feng while he will be the one to do the most killing.

Who told him to be the only good damage dealer among them?

”Approximately how much percentage are you away from leveling up to 4, Kai?” Xu Feng suddenly asked.

”About 30-40 percent.”

”How far were you earlier?”

”Around 60-70 percent.”

”...”

Upon realizing that the 4 Shadow Wolves were able to boost his experience points by 30 percent, Xu Feng wanted to cry.

Life was truly unfair.

Or maybe it was truly fair, given Xu Fengʼs misdeed had brought him a huge advantage over others.

Of course, Xu Feng would never admit his wrongdoing. The herbs in the Miracle Herb Garden were going to be wasted by the NPCs anyway.

By kindly taking the herbs away from them, Xu Feng was able to assist and help people.

Yet instead of being repaid by kindness with his kindness, he was repaid with punishment. The system had truly done injustice to him.

”Since the experience points are nice, letʼs grind a bit in the fog before we look for the location.” Xu Feng suggested.

”Are you fine with that, Feng?” Zhao Kai glanced at him skeptically. ”We donʼt need to grind for monsters if youʼre busy with things.”

”Hmph, worry about yourself more. Iʼm experienced while youʼre not.” Xu Feng rolled his eyes in response, baffled by his constant concern.

Sure, time was ticking down for him, but he wasnʼt a bit worried. What was important at the moment was to get Zhao Kai to level up and obtain new skills.

After all, he wouldnʼt have much free time in the near future to help Zhao Kai gain combat experience and learn the fundamentals of the Divine World.

”Fine, but I donʼt want to take too much of your time.” Zhao Kai scratched his head, having understood Xu Fengʼs intention. He was no fool and knew Xu Feng was trying to educate him regarding the game.

It was just that he didnʼt want to delay his tasks. Had he known beforehand that he would distract Xu Feng, then he would have waited till later on before informing him about joining the game.

Alas, it was a little too late, and it would be rude of him to reject his goodwill.

”Then letʼs proceed toward this path.” Xu Feng pointed in a direction and said. Having encountered the Shadow Wolves and adapting to the eerie fog, he could somewhat infer the location of the wolvesʼ camp.

Although it wasnʼt going to be completely accurate, it should be adequate enough for them to encounter more monsters on the way to farm.

With that goal in mind, the two spent the next few hours grinding for monsters, and occasionally almost dying in the process.

There were numerous times that Zhao Kai got caught in a pincer and nearly died. His movements were still rigid and clumsy at times, resulting in his predicament.

Luckily, Xu Fengʼs perception as a Cleric was amazing and always ensured Zhao Kaiʼs health did not fall below 10%.

Despite Zhao Kaiʼs seeming enthusiasm and motivation, his stamina was starting to take a toll on him.

”Haa haa, I can barely move my fingers to pull the trigger, Feng.” Zhao Kai panted heavily. Sweat started dripping on his forehead as his stamina dropped abysmally low.

The food buff from the Redwood Inn had long expired with how much time they had spent grinding. Not to mention, his stamina recovery wasnʼt enough to restore his constant actions.

”How are you still fine, Feng?” Zhao Kai sat on the ground as he glanced at Xu Feng, realizing the latter was still fine. He was dumbfounded at how Xu Feng could still move around and barely had any sweat.

”I donʼt make any unnecessary movements.” Xu Feng flatly responded. ”You kept running around and showing off, so your stamina decreased tremendously. Be more practical next time.”

Knitting his brows, Zhao Kai seemed to be pondering his advice, but the next moment, he shrugged his shoulders.

”Nah, whatʼs the point of playing a game if not to show off?” He laughed heartily.

Right after laughing, he finally slumped to the ground.

”I need a break,” he gasped, wiping sweat from his brow.

Afterward, he retrieved the food that was bought from the Redwood Inn earlier. With some utensils, he started making some slurping and munching sounds right in the open.

”You are unbelievable…” Xu Feng facepalmed, feeling helpless at Zhao Kaiʼs nonchalant attitude.

Nevertheless, he didnʼt reprimand him, given Zhao Kai had managed to level up once and almost reach level 5.

Throughout the hours of grinding, Zhao Kai rarely made any mistakes. When he did make the mistake, he was called out and instructed by Xu Feng on how to correct them, and he was able to fix them shortly after.

Seeing how blissfully Zhao Kai was enjoying his food, Xu Feng decided to go on the Game Forum to check up on the latest news.

Upon opening it, he was instantly attracted by a post with many discussions— a post by OneManMedia.

ʼAn exclusive interview with the Silver Wind Guild Leader, Gentle Wind?ʼ Xu Feng was stunned for a brief moment.

Then he came to realize something.

ʼThese two were in a cahoot from the start.ʼ Xu Feng exclaimed inwardly.

It was no wonder why OneManMedia seemed to know much more than the rest and was able to ask good questions to bring the focus of attention to everyone else.

”No, maybe it wasnʼt a real collaboration but a temporary one.” He murmured, opening his private message list and clicking on OneManMedia.
