"Baby, I am bored," Avi announced as she hugged him lazily. "I thought you would struggle so I chose lower difficulty but you seem to be doing fine. How about we go back and change locations?"

"First, don't call me baby. Second, don't hug me. Third, we can move elsewhere in this area if you want. I have only killed four bears since earlier so I have lots of potions left," Liu Ye replied as he threw her off his back.

He preferred to farm solo but he was still in danger of being hunted down so Liu Ye had to bear with her advances. He was already used to it with Xu Yue so it wasn't that hard. 

[Ding! You killed the Ice Bear. You received 14,450 Experience and 20 gold. Due to the difference of 17 levels, you earned 5,950 bonus Experience.]

Liu Ye glanced at his inbox and sighed, knowing the high experience gain wouldn't last for long. After killing four Ice Bears, he leveled up twice but at the same time, his bonus multiplier lowered as well. The longer he stayed here, the lower experience he would get, making his grind less efficient.

Liu Ye needed to reach at least 5 Wisdom by level 25 to wear his items so he decided to keep adding his points to Intelligence until level 20. Additional damage and mana at this stage were crucial to success. 

"Ah, I am so nice to wait as you kill yet I can't even get one hug... What if I am cold and I need to warm myself up?" Avi complained but Liu Ye wasn't moved. 

"You should change your outfit into something less revealing," Liu Ye commented as he looked at her naked legs. Although he could feel the cold, it didn't really impact his capabilities but NPCs could have different mechanics. 

"But this outfit is sexy, is it not?" Avi asked as she posed for him. "You can touch them if you want to." 

"No thanks," Liu Ye rejected without a second thought. He wasn't thirsty for women and if he was, Xu Yue was sexy enough to satisfy him. 

"Tch, now you make me want to seduce you even more," Avi muttered as she bit on her lip and finally walked away to lead the way. "Follow me. I know what monster will give you a better challenge." 

Only two Ice Bears were left in the distance so even if he wanted to farm the easy targets, he would soon run out of them anyway. The spawn time was probably high which forced players to explore further. 

'I need to focus on my Elements…' Liu Ye thought on the way, realizing his problem. 

So what if he leveled up fast and earned gold. His abilities were still at the beginner phase and he couldn't compare with benders like Avi. If his goal was to Master all Elements, it will take him months of grinding to get them all. 

The obvious choices were the items that sped up his Mastery gain and of course the Elemental Stones. He planned to wait till he meets with Xu Yue but maybe it was better to use them right away. 

"Hmm?" 

Just as he thought about her, the person in question sent him a mysterious message. 

[Queen of Chess: Check the rankings.]

Liu Ye opened the ranking tab and first checked the levels thinking someone overtook him but that wasn't it. He was still at the top with 3 levels advantage. 

It was actually the two other rankings that a single person dominated. 

[Bandit Leader Dungeon] 

[1. Little Bunny - 00:04:40 - Solo] 

[2. Grind God - 00:09:01 - Solo] 

Liu Ye's eyes widened when he saw another solo player almost halved his time. Even the second ranking didn't give him any clues on how they did it. 

[Elemental Mastery]

[1. Little Bunny - 1% - 2 Elements] 

[2. Blood Devil - 8% - 1 Element] 

The Elemental Mastery ranking was similar to the Elemental Score as it showed how much one progressed in their elements but it didn't include their potential. Liu Ye wasn't even in the top 10 as he had a miserable 5% since he wasted too much time in the Elemental City while others grinded the whole time. 

The real question was how did that Little Bunny get such a good time when she was still at 1%? Even if she lucked out and got the second Element, it didn't explain how she could have such great battle capabilities. 

[Grind God: That player must have found some special weapon or an ability.] 

Since he found the Ice Serpent, it was possible others found an even better weapon. 

[Queen of Chess: I'm still confused how she did it but she won't tell me. She said she wants to show you first.]

[Grind God: Huh? Do you know her?]

Liu Ye thought Xu Yue managed to somehow add her to friends in order to recruit her when she delivered a blow. 

[Queen of Chess: You actually know her better than me. You share the same genes.] 

"Zhenzhen?" Liu Ye muttered dumbfounded when Avi suddenly stopped him. 

"We have arrived," Avi informed with a smile. "I was looking forward to facing this one for a while." 

Liu Ye was fully distracted by the thought of his little sister having two Elements but still looked around in search of the target. 

"What are you talking about? There is only an Ice Boulder in front of us," Liu Ye pointed out confused but Avi only pursed her lips. 

"Look down."

His eyes didn't even reach the ground when he heard cracks. When he finally saw them, his body was already falling down with the power of gravity. He was only falling for a second before his back met with the ice and he landed on a polished slide to the underground.
