[No one wants to get hurt in the wilderness, so everyone is extremely cautious. Lin Qingyu sticks closely to your clone's back, as if he is treating your clone as some kind of reliable shield.]
[Fortunately, the assessment team is a team of professionals composed of talented people. Although they are a little inexperienced, they can quickly counterattack against the attacking monsters. Your clone helped the assessment team resist a few monsters that managed to rush to the team, but did not encounter the huge crisis of life and death as expected.]
[Until we get close to the target location of this assessment! It ends in front of a nest occupied by a wild level 5 monster, the Kobold! ]
[Looking at the nest in front of you occupied by the kobolds, your clone couldn't help but ask Lin Qingyu, is this nest the target of your assessment?
After Lin Qingyu nodded in approval, your clone's mind suddenly became full of excitement. You were impressed that this Iron Blood Society was indeed a group that could form a war group in the future. Even the assessment for recruiting core new members was a difficult task like conquering wild monster nests. You were also impressed that the person who issued the assessment might have some grudge against these new members and wanted to kill them. 】
[A wilderness monster lair is a name for a special gathering point for wilderness monsters. Generally speaking, wilderness monsters do not have a fixed gathering point. They roam around everywhere. The stronger the monster, the farther it stays from human cities.]
[But once monsters gather together, they will become gathering places like monster nests. If they are not cleared for a long time, the monsters in the monster nests will continue to grow stronger and continue to attract higher-level monsters to approach. Eventually, the scale of the monster gathering place will become larger and larger, not only squeezing the living space of humans, but also actively attacking human cities after expanding to a certain extent! ]
[The main goal of the regiment's army to open up new land is actually to clear out the areas where monsters gather, thereby eliminating the threat that monsters in the area pose to human cities.]
[The Kobold's lair in front of us is just a newly formed monster gathering place, and the highest level of monsters is only level 8, but even so, there must be a large number of wild monsters inside.
The large number here does not mean the 'large number' of a few small monsters in the copy, but it is very likely to be tens of thousands!
Letting a group of rookie professionals clean up the nest is not crazy, but it is a serious disease. Even if all the members of this rookie professional team are silver-level, gifted elites! But this cannot hide the fact that they are just rookies. 】
[Unfortunately, your clone does not have the right to refuse to participate in this assessment.]
[The brutal battle of strategy begins now. ]
[As the assessment team entered the lair, countless dog-headed monsters that had sensed the human aura rushed towards the assessment team like crazy.]
[Your clone's assessment team immediately fell into a tough battle. Fortunately, your clone is actually a first-level warrior with a high level of 10, and has also learned the bronze-level skill Bully, which is specially used to bully weaklings. This makes your clone highly immune to damage from these kobolds, most of which are level 5. The kobolds' sharp claws can only scratch the clone's flesh at most, and cannot cause serious damage to the clone that cannot be restored by healing spells.]
[Although pain is inevitable, your clone not only has no physical emotions, but also has no fear of pain or other emotions that would affect its fighting power. A mere flesh wound wouldn't even make your clone frown, and it wouldn't retreat like an ordinary human professional after being attacked.]
[Your clone is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea! No matter how the monsters in front of you attack, it will not move at all. On the other hand, the members of the assessment team with stronger talents are constantly retreating because of fear of pain. In the blink of an eye, you, an extra person, have become the frontline shield of the entire assessment team. ]
[The leader of the assessment team saw this scene and quickly suppressed his shock, and began to order all members of the team to split into the front row to stabilize the formation.]
[After a brief panic, the powerful firepower of the silver and even gold-level talent professional teams quickly unleashed again under the command of the team leader and with the help of the clones that managed to withstand the monsters' attacks and gain time for them to adjust! In an instant, countless extremely precious bronze-level skills rained down around your clones, and the level 5 kobolds were almost killed in droves, greatly reducing the pressure on your clones.]
[Immediately afterwards, your clone led a group of members of the assessment team and fought and advanced, and finally established a defensive position in front of a narrow passage.]
[Reality is not an online game where you can overlap models. The Kobolds have no ability to destroy the terrain, so you only need to use the advantage of the terrain to greatly limit the number of Kobolds. Even if there are tens of thousands of Kobolds, you can only honestly rush in one by one, so that the clone can perform a heroic feat like a single man blocking a pass and ten thousand men unable to pass.]
【Relying on the terrain, the originally precarious situation immediately became manageable. The calmed-down assessment team reapplied the combat skills they learned in school, working in groups of three, taking turns to fight and recover. The ordinary monsters of level 5 simply could not get close to this group of elite professionals, whose lowest level was level 7 and who were equipped with almost a full set of bronze, silver, or even gold-level equipment, and who had all learned bronze-level skills in advance.】
[Even Lin Qingyu, who was considered a scumbag in the eyes of the clone, still showed her strength as a gold-level talent owner. As a person with the source of magic talent, she not only has 5 times the mana of ordinary professionals, but can also restore mana at 5 times the speed of ordinary professionals. With some equipment that speeds up mana recovery, she can even release low-level spells infinitely. ]
[Your clone is replaced at this time, because as the situation stabilizes, the impact of the monster tide is no longer a threat to the assessment team, but has become a feast for gaining experience! ]
[Even with the level suppression of level 2 or above, the experience they gain is only 25% of the initial value, but there are too many kobolds. Given the absolute number, even if each kobold can only share 2 points of experience, a few of them are enough for them to level up by 1 level, so they naturally won't let their clones share a share of the experience.]
[Your clone didn't say much. The world is inherently unfair. No matter how well he performs, a bronze-level talent is just a bronze-level talent. He is a qualified cannon fodder, but he can't become an equal comrade-in-arms who fights side by side with them.]
"They are all a bunch of dog-faced people."
The real Link cursed inwardly, and then without hesitation wrote down in his little notebook the names of those who dared to bully his clone in the simulation.
