Chapter 10: System Tasks, Experience Acquisition

"Ding! Task issued: First Battle, kill twenty Skeleton Soldiers. Completing the task grants 50% progress of the current Spirit Pet's experience points."

Just as Xue You leaped down, Ye Ling's mind suddenly heard that mechanical, dull voice again.

There are tasks?!

Ye Ling was slightly surprised. He originally thought the System could only allow his Spirit Pet to gain more skills and Talents, evolve faster, and so on.

He didn't expect there to be System tasks.

However, the reward is simply too brutal, directly giving experience point percentage progress.

This means that by killing twenty Skeleton Soldiers, in addition to the experience gained itself, he can also receive an extra fifty percent experience progress.

This... means that he will level up incredibly fast.

While others are still running hard, he's already on a rocket.

Thinking of this, Ye Ling looked at the group of Skeleton Soldiers below, his eyes practically glowing.

Xue You, who had just leaped down, directly kicked a Skeleton Soldier's pale, shiny skull with a flying kick before landing.

"Crack!"

The already very fragile bone snapped instantly.

Of course, it wasn't the skull that shattered, but the neck bone that snapped instantly.

The Skeleton Soldier whose head was severed lost control of its body and stood rooted to the spot, unmoving.

The Skeleton head that fell to the side still had a faint blue ghost fire burning inside.

This ball of ghost fire shouldn't be called ghost fire, but soul fire. It's equivalent to the Skeleton Soldier's control center.

The other few Skeleton Soldiers also noticed the abnormality here and rushed over, raising the bone knives in their hands.

As for Xue You, after kicking off a Skeleton Soldier's head, she landed steadily on the ground.

At the same time, her movements weren't slow; she directly stomped heavily on the Skeleton head she had just kicked, crushing it.

"Crack!"

The pale Skeleton head was instantly crushed into bone fragments.

Bone fragments flew everywhere. Xue You, who had done all this, remained expressionless.

And the faint blue soul fire that was originally inside the skull was exposed to the air when the skull shattered and quickly dissipated.

At the same time, Ye Ling also received a prompt from the System.

"Ding! Spirit Pet Xue You successfully eliminated one Skeleton Soldier (1/20)."

This means that Skeleton Soldier has been completely eliminated.

Not only that, Ye Ling also saw that on Xue You's panel, the experience points were finally no longer 0 but had become 0.5%.

Although it wasn't much, it's important to know that this was the experience provided by just one Skeleton Soldier.

And in this Burial Bone Mound, there are many more Skeleton Soldiers.

Without counting the tasks issued by the System, eliminating just two hundred Skeleton Soldiers means Xue You can successfully level up by one level.

This is much faster than other people's Spirit Pets leveling up.

Coupled with System tasks, she won't even need two hundred Skeleton Soldiers to level up by one level.

Xue You's leveling speed will far exceed that of other Spirit Pets.

Thinking of the current situation, Ye Ling immediately wanted to laugh out loud.

However, considering his location, Ye Ling held back in order not to attract the attention of too many Skeleton Soldiers.

The few surrounding Skeleton Soldiers, raising the bone knives in their hands, immediately surrounded Xue You and quickly launched an attack on her.

That's right. For these Skeleton Soldiers who are basically irrational, they essentially only possess combat instincts.

"Xue You, eliminate them, don't leave a single one."

Ye Ling stood on the high ground and issued commands to Xue You below.

And Xue You, having received the command, assumed an attacking stance.

On her two pale jade-like hands were very sharp nails. The nails were black, the standard color for Zombie nails.

Don't think Xue You's nails are just simple nails; they are also very hard, equivalent to a sharp weapon.

Not only that, Xue You's nails also carry Corpse Poison, which is unique to Zombies.

As long as she can successfully break the opponent's skin, the Corpse Poison will invade the enemy's body.

The Corpse Poison spreading within the body will cause the opponent to die in agony.

And it's always very miserable, usually with black blood flowing from the seven orifices and the skin turning purplish-black.

Although this group of Skeleton Soldiers barely reached Tier 1, Level 2 or 3, they were still far too weak for Xue You.

Only a slightly higher-level Skeleton Sergeant could pose some threat to Xue You.

Xue You's speed was extremely fast, completely unlike the slow movements people describe for Zombies.

Streaks of afterimages darted back and forth among the Skeleton Soldiers.

In an instant, one Skeleton Soldier lost its skull, and the remaining white bone body collapsed to the ground.

Within moments, these few Skeleton Soldiers were all down.

Without exception, all of them had lost their skulls.

When Xue You reappeared before Ye Ling, she had several pale skulls in her hands.

And these skulls naturally came from the Skeleton Soldiers below.

"Don't keep them, destroy them all."

Seeing Xue You actually keeping the opponent's skulls, Ye Ling issued the command again.

Hearing this, Xue You just nodded blankly. With one claw per skull, the skulls of the few Skeleton Soldiers instantly turned into fragments in her hands.

Balls of faint blue soul fire gradually dissipated in the air.
