Dual logging to farm hidden bosses

Chen Yu was undoubtedly a very well-behaved newcomer, who had been quiet since entering the instance, listened to commands attentively, and carried out tasks seriously. Although as a newcomer, mistakes were inevitable, she always apologized promptly, and no one really felt it right to blame her too much. In fact, when Chen Yu made mistakes, Tian Qi and the other two were even more nervous than her, fearing that the expert brother would become impatient! Many experts have little patience for such greenhorns.

However, after the halfway point of the instance, Tian Qi and the others were able to relax a bit. Expert brother, with his high level of skill, was not the kind of all-disdainful expert they had imagined. He was even more patient with newcomers than Tian Qi and his friends. For some instructions that Chen Yu didn't understand, expert brother even took the time to explain the specialized terms to her.

But with the addition of such a newcomer, the efficiency of running the instance was just so-so. Seeing that expert brother didn't mind, Tian Qi and the others didn't pay it much attention either. Fighting monsters while teaching the newbie, they actually had a good time.

It was only after chatting that they found out this was Chen Yu's first time running an instance. She had leveled up by completing quests all the way, and had cleared all that she could, leaving only a bunch of tasks that needed to be completed in instances. That's why she came to mix with a team outside the instance, and ended up in such a renowned team, which was naturally a pleasant surprise.

Under the guidance of the expert, after one round of the instance, and then another, Chen Yu had already become quite adept. She was only new to Glory, not completely new to gaming.

Finally, after several rounds of running the instance, Jun Mo Xiao and Tian Qi and the others all leveled up to 20, while Chen Yu, being a bit behind, was still striving at level 19. Ye Kai saw this and simply led the team to run a few more rounds, bringing Chen Yu along to level 20 as well.

During this time, they encountered two hidden bosses, which Ye Kai's team defeated smoothly. However, no purple or orange equipment appeared today, just some rare materials. Chen Yu, being a newcomer, of course, didn't realize that these materials were actually the most valuable things in low-level instances, and she drooled over the equipment instead. However, with expert brother present, Tian Qi and the others felt embarrassed to act slyly, so they explained the value of these materials to Chen Yu. As a result, Chen Yu, being very well-behaved, declined them all on the grounds that as a newcomer, she wouldn't know how to use the materials if she picked them up.

Tian Qi and the others immediately felt a hundred times more favorable towards this girl, promising to remember her share and to divide the money after selling the materials.

"Alright, you guys go ahead with your business, I'm off," Ye Kai said, bidding farewell to the four after exiting the instance.

"Expert brother, aren't you going to change your class?" At level 20, what everyone needed to do was change their class and then leave the beginner's village.

"No rush, you guys go ahead!"

"Then we'll be in touch, expert brother," said Tian Qi.

"Goodbye, great god!" Chen Yu was now quite familiar with the others. Moreover, after listening to Tian Qi and the others recount the heroic deeds of Jun Mo Xiao, she had settled on calling him the great god.

Ye Kai smiled and said goodbye to the four, who returned to the beginner's village to take on the class change quest. Meanwhile, Ye Kai had Jun Mo Xiao head towards the Green Forest instance, while simultaneously logging into Chen Guo's account, bringing her level 5 character Zhu Yan Xia into the game.

Indeed, although Glory didn't allow dual logging, if you had two computers, no one could stop you from playing two accounts. This was exactly what Ye Kai had in mind. As long as there were two or more players, it would be considered a team, and there would be a chance to encounter hidden bosses. Ye Kai still needed to farm some materials from the Night Cat Demon!

The first run didn't yield a hidden boss, and Ye Kai didn't hesitate to exit the instance. Both characters entered a critical state, with all health and mana depleted, and all attributes reduced by 80%, essentially making them useless, requiring a ten-minute rest to recover. But this was still faster than running through the entire instance. Jun Mo Xiao in Green Forest was no longer gaining experience. Originally, he was supposed to level up Zhu Yan Xia, but Chen Guo said it didn't matter, so Ye Kai just went with it.

Taking a break to smoke a cigarette, drink some water, walk around, and then return, both Jun Mo Xiao and Zhu Yan Xia had recovered. Entering the instance again, no hidden boss appeared, and Ye Kai decisively chose to exit once more.

If it was once every ten minutes, that would be six times in an hour. Otherwise, soloing Green Forest would take at least 15-20 minutes, so the time saved was significant. However, this method was only feasible in the beginner's village. Regular instances after the beginner's village had limitations on the number of times they could be run. Five times a day, three times a day, even once a day, once a week, all had their restrictions.

During this ten-minute break, Ye Kai started looking up strategies, having forgotten quite a bit about these early stages. It wasn't ideal to keep looking up strategies while inside the instance.

After ten minutes, he entered Green Forest again, and still no hidden boss. Ye Kai wasn't in a hurry, exiting to look up strategies.

The fourth time, the fifth time...

Ye Kai's luck seemed to have run out on the first day, with five instance runs and not a single hidden boss encounter. Finally, on the sixth try, the system issued the long-awaited Night Cat Demon prompt. Ye Kai breathed a sigh of relief and started the instance. In theory, Zhu Yan Xia was no longer needed and could exit or be left at the entrance without moving. However, Ye Kai thought that since he had to run the instance anyway, he might as well let her gain some experience. So he began to operate both characters, first positioning Zhu Yan Xia properly, then having Jun Mo Xiao aggro the monsters and bring them over to kill within the effective range so Zhu Yan Xia could gain experience. He was busy managing one character and then the other, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Customers at the internet cafe who got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom passed by the counter and were stunned to see this scene.

"Dude, it's one thing to play, but to play on two computers, you're hardcore, man!"

Ye Kai turned and smiled at the person without saying a word, continuing his operations. Once the Night Cat Demon appeared, the rest was a foregone conclusion. The materials Ye Kai needed were guaranteed to drop; it was just a matter of how many. And when the loot dropped, Ye Kai's luck flared up again, and he got four Night Cat Claws in one go. With the two he had from the first time, he now had six, needing a total of eight, just one more encounter would be enough.

After finishing the Night Cat Demon, Ye Kai elegantly exited the instance again. He continued the infinite hidden boss farming method every ten minutes.

Once without, twice without. On the third return, when Ye Kai was ready to test his luck, he suddenly noticed an unprocessed system message. Clicking on it, the system prompted that a player named Lan He had requested to add him as a friend. Would he agree?

Lan He? Who was that? Ye Kai looked around Jun Mo Xiao but didn't find a player with that name. He figured it was probably someone who saw his level 20 character standing guard outside Green Forest and wanted to add him as a friend to ask for a carry. Ye Kai casually clicked ignore, only to find another message, then another, and another...

After clicking through them all, in those ten minutes, this person named Lan He had persistently sent 18 friend requests to Jun Mo Xiao.

Ignoring is not the same as refusing. Ignored messages can be resubmitted for action. Ye Kai admired the person's perseverance, so he pulled up a message and clicked agree.
