One month.
That was the time Wang Cai had to prepare for the expedition quest.
The biggest problem was the other players, as he didn't know their exact level, but he knew they were over level 100.
The Monstrous Cave was a mountain-like place where players had to climb the floors to the tenth floor. Each floor had a boss to be defeated, but it was only optional.
However, on the tenth floor, there was a very powerful World Boss of level 1000. There was the apex of the Infinite World, one of the most powerful and supreme creatures in the kingdom.
Level 1000 was not the limit as there was no level limit.
However, no one has ever reached level 1000 in the ten years of the game's existence.
Wang Cai knew very well that the first five expeditions of the kingdom only reached the second floor or three, as the level of soldiers was low and so were the players.
That way, he would have a better chance of dealing with creatures at those levels.
The ranking was calculated according to the number of creatures the player defeats, the more creatures he defeats, the more points he will receive. The floor and level of creatures also change.
(No one knows the Monstrous Cave information because expeditions are always changing locations, but I know what is inside the cave. This is a good opportunity to get stronger until next month…) Wang Cai wasted no time and traveled to the location of the nearest dungeon.
A level 20 dungeon, but he chose expert mode.
For a level 110 player like him, this dungeon was so easy he didn't even need to sweat, he just needed to walk and cut to defeat the creatures.
His goal was just one, title. Each title gave passive stats to the player, so they would accumulate.
Up to level 110, Wang Cai could still complete eight more expert-level dungeons. The other three would be impossible for him because of the lack of AoE attacks.
A Rogue only had single target abilities, so it was very problematic to deal with more difficult and dangerous dungeons attacking one target by target. The delay would be too long.
Time was something Wang Cai didn't have.
Thus, he completed the eight dungeons in less than a day, as he only needed to run at great speed to cut the creatures and collect the drops before running again towards the next creatures.
The eight titles gave him a total of 250 ATK, 150 MATK, and twenty percent extra damage on eight different creature types.
This increase in power was very big.
Not only did he do this, but many others also did the same to passively take more damage without needing to level up or use items.
With the new power increases, Wang Cai challenged the ninth dungeon in expert mode, the damage increased so much that he managed to clear the dungeon despite some difficulties.
After these nine expert-level dungeons, he gained more levels and reached level 123.

Wang Cai finally started putting points into the INT attribute as he already started the quest for Astral Gladiator.
When completing the quest, the INT attribute would be required for the skills.
After finishing the dungeons, Wang Cai travels to a distant location within the Agoria Kingdom.
Valley of the Giants
This place was a gigantic valley of stone covered by green vegetation and trees, but the mountains around it were only gray stones. A great river was cut in half and went to the sea.
Many giant creatures walk around. Mainly prehistoric dinosaurs.
The creatures that inhabit this location were level 300.
The reason Wang Cai went to this location was to exploit a small bug or blind spot in the game.
In the previous life, Wang Cai saw a video of a player leveling about a hundred levels at this location before it was discovered by the company, and the bug or so-called blind spot was fixed.
Well, it wasn't an error in the programming code. So some called it a blind spot instead of a bug.
So Wang Cai wanted to take advantage of these flaws to be able to level up faster than others.
A hundred levels was a good thing for him. It's enough to catch up with those who started before him.
The creatures of this place were practically giant dinosaurs over fifty meters high and twenty meters long.
So he was like an ant before these creatures.
Walking a little through the valley, he encountered the first creature.
A dinosaur similar to a stegosaurus, but the scales were made of extremely sharp steel. It was as if he were wearing a cloak of knives.
The name Steel Stegosaurus was written on top of its head.
Stealthily walking towards the creature, Wang Cai climbed the body to the top.
Looking for a place to lean on, he pulled out a saw-like dagger, but the tip had a hook, the weapon's name was Fish Dagger. On the other hand was the Wolf's Fang Dagger.
slash!!! slash!!! slash!!
The two daggers cut at great speed at the same point, the same sharp scale being cut over and over again.
crack…crack…
Eventually, the scale began to crack and break.
White flesh appeared underneath.
"Now is the time to start…" Looking at that small spot, Wang Cai repeatedly stabbed at great speed.
drill!!! drill!!!! drill!!!
-1650
-1871
-2135
COMBO!!! COMBO X2!!! COMBO X3!!!!
A series of red numbers begin to appear on top of the Steel Stegosaurus' head.
The HP bar decreased slowly.
For the creature's body size, the wound was so low it wasn't even worth mentioning.
COMBO X20!!! COMBO X21!!
Wang Cai didn't stop attacking and always slash in the same spot.
Blood flowed violently from the wound because of the Bleed effect.
Fatal Strike was activated and stacked about ten times, and Wang Cai always activated the skill when the bleeding was almost over. It was just to restart.
After twenty consecutive hits, the HP had already dropped by more than half because of the damaging buildup and bleeding.
COMBO X25!!!!
BOOOOOM!!!!!
This was the last attack before the creature fell to the ground and disappeared when turning pixels.
During the entire process, the Steel Stegosaurus did not even notice what was happening on its back.
Wang Cai's attacks were small and subtle and it didn't even itch to alert the creature.
That was the bug or blind spot.
Depending on the size of the creature, the most basic attacks can help defeat that creature without alerting.
The situation was like an elephant seeing an ant crawling up its body. It wouldn't do anything unless a group of ants attacked.
Thus, defeat was imminent.
ding… ding…
"You leveled up!!"
One level was received upon defeating the creature.
Wang Cai felt like he was in XP paradise.
