Chapter 37: Level UP
After finishing their own work with camp and having their meals, Li Wei led his party to search nearby monsters with Alice, who was looking at him curiously for some reason.
But he didn't care about it and continued to search with them. Olivia also adjusted her emotions to normal, following them.
"We should eliminate any monsters nearby, so it will be much safer at night," Li Wei suggested to search the nearby areas first.
Elva agreed with a nod. "Yes, we should focus on the monsters nearby as they can attack and attract predators at night. It will be troublesome if we really get caught up with fighting them in night when the visibility is low," she explained the dangers.
"Yup, it will be a problem, so let's do it as fast as we can," Li Wei sped up with them following behind. To him, it was no threat to fight with monsters in this area, so he was moving much more freely.
As they continued their search, they soon found a bunch of level 12 monsters. Their count exceeded eight hundred.
"They are really thriving here," Li Wei murmured, looking at the goblins in front of him with a disappointed face.
'Unless we move to a high-level area, there is no chance to encounter rare monsters that could sell for a lot of money,' he sighed because these goblins won't earn them much money.
In a low-level area like this, there was no way to encounter some rare monsters. It was already a high luck when they encountered the dungeon.
He retracted his thoughts and looked at his party, "I will be the main attacker. Alice, stay here and protect them from any monsters that come close. Olivia, you don't need to use any support skills or any other skills on me; just use it on them," Li Wei gave them instructions.
He then turned towards Elva and Li Xin. "XinXin, Elva, you both fire long-range attacks, and everyone should keep more than half of MP for reserve," he reminded them.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with him. They too knew they were inside the forest, and monsters could come at any time, so it was better to be prepared.
Li Wei saw they agreed and felt relieved. "Okay, then I will go," he said, and with a swoosh, he disappeared.
The area they were in was a little open with some trees. The goblins gathered in groups of hundreds where they camped together, a little distance away from others, some resting and some preparing for hunt.
"Frost Nova," Li Wei, who appeared with Shadow Step, didn't bother to check and directly attacked, creating a freezing wave.
The wave swept over goblins, freezing them. They were only level 12, and with that much gap between the levels, their HP started to drop drastically.
"Fireball, Fireball, Fireball," he didn't hesitate and attacked again, not even giving them a chance to scream.
*Booom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Sizzle!*
Booming and sizzling sounds echoed, killing the goblins.
[Ding,..] [Ding,..] [Ding,..]
The system notifications chimed with every kill.
*Gwaaa* *gwaa* Seeing one of their camps attacked, the goblins roared wildly and attacked towards him with anger.
"I should lower their numbers as much as I can. Then it wouldn't be a problem if they escape behind," Li Wei murmured, looking at the goblins.
He was here to power level up Li Xin and others, and he couldn't just rely on them to kill themselves; he has to do it personally, or they will lose a lot of time.
"Frost Nova." "Frost Nova." "Fireball." Once again, he attacked with long-range skills.
Boom, Sizzle, Swoosh. He continued to kill them easily, gaining experience for him and his party.
Alice, Elva, and Olivia looked at him with dumbfounded expressions.
Alice looked at Li Xin. "Li Xin, what level is your brother?" she asked with doubt. No matter what, it doesn't look like a low-level fighting against the monsters.
Li Xin smiled at her. "He is level 21," she replied, not hiding it from them because Li Wei told her there was no need to hide his level except the bonus secret.
"What! Level 21! But wasn't he just level 11 when we met?" Alice asked with exclamation and doubt. There were many things she wanted to ask.
"It's our time to attack," suddenly Olivia, who was silent, intervened seeing Li Xin's face becoming a little difficult.
Li Xin heaved a sigh of relief and nodded with everyone using their skills to attack.
*Boom! Boom! Sizzle! Swoosh!*
*Gwaaa* *gwaaa* The screams of goblins echoed as they died, becoming the experience points for Li Wei's party.
[Ding,..] [Ding,..] [Ding,..]
Li Wei, who was in front, continued overpowering them with his long-range skills and Swordsmanship.
It only took an hour to eliminate all the goblins.
Li Wei looked at the corpses.
"It's really a pain to collect them. Isn't there something that could collect them?" he murmured with dissatisfaction and began to collect the corpses with his party.
Li Wei checked the count. "A total of 820. It's still low considering the money it will give us," he thought and turned towards the girls.
"There is still a few hours before evening. Let's go; we will search and kill more monsters for XP," he suggested. The fight wasn't that long, and not to mention they weren't even tired.
"I don't have any problem with that," Elva said, while Alice also nodded, agreeing with him.
"Okay, then let's go; we should clear nearby monsters as much as we can," Li Wei announced and once again led them to kill monsters, gaining XP again.
He was going to level them up to 15 before going to the dungeon of the sage.
This time they weren't much lucky and only found two groups of kobolds and wolves. Each group containing about hundreds of them.
After eliminating them it was already evening, and everyone decided to return to their camp and freshen up.
After using purification on them, Li Wei sat outside the cave, lighting up a campfire, and checked the gains of today.

Li Wei looked at his level with a satisfied expression.
'Now I feel much more at ease, I don't have to worry about anything even if the boss exceeds level 30,' he thought.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Li Xin came out of the cave asking him who was sitting silently, she was still wearing the battle attire just in case if they have to fight.
Li Wei shook his head with a smile. "Nothing, I was just about to start cooking food," he replied.
Li Xin became stunned at his reply; his cooking isn't good at all, but suddenly she thought of something her eyes widening with a shock.
"Brother, don't tell me you..." She stopped, not continuing further.
Seeing her shocked look, Li Wei laughed, "Haha, don't underestimate your brother XinXin. I learned cooking before you even know what it means to cook." he said with a pride.
Li Xin looked at him with a cute pout; he could learn the skills as he wants, but she couldn't. She felt a little dissatisfied.
"What are you going to cook?" she asked, sitting beside him.
"Just grilling some meat from this world," Li Wei replied, taking out the equipment and ingredients.
Li Xin nodded and watched him cook carefully.
With the knowledge of cooking Li Wei got from the skill, he prepared the ingredients carefully and started to grill the meat with utmost care.
*Sizzle*
The sizzling sound and aroma of the meat spread in the environment. It invited Alice out who was inside the cave.
She looked at Li Wei with surprise, but her attention was more fixed on the food that was on the grill. She swallowed her saliva, sitting opposite to them.
Alice regretfully tore her gaze from the food and looked at Li Wei.
"Do you need my help?" she asked because he appeared to be proficient at cooking not needing any but just in case maybe she can get a chance to test.
Li Wei shook his head. "No, I can handle it. Just wait for a few minutes; the food will be ready," he said and continued to cook enough for all of them.
Elva and Olivia also came out and looked at Li Wei in surprise; they never knew he was able to cook, and more so, his skill level seems high.
Olivia came sitting beside Li Xin silently while Elva took a seat beside Alice, whose gaze was fixed on the food again.
Li Wei glanced at them. "We will level up tomorrow and then will do the dungeon," he said. Now they have reached level 15, except Li Xin, but she can level up tomorrow with them. He was going to level up them around 20 so there will be no problems.
Elva nodded. "I don't have any problems with that," she agreed. They too wanted to see the dungeon made by the sage.
"Okay then, food is almost ready; let's eat," Li Wei said, seeing the meat getting cooked perfectly.
