Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

"Who told me to be best friends with you? You said it was not Bert." After hearing Bert's words, Li De's face was not unhappy at all. He looked at Bert and smiled and answered.

"It has been seven or eight days since I came back from the expedition. I just took a day off. Or because you need to adjust your state, whoever you want is fine. Anyway, I won't go today." Bert shouted loudly.

"Hey, Bert, I thought we were good friends. I wanted to share the memories of each upgrade with you. You didn't go. It really makes me sad." Li De replied with a lonely face.

"Who asked you to share what memories? Wait, what did you say just now? Upgrade? Didn't you upgrade just a few days ago? Don't tell me that you lied about the upgrade last time." Bert said, and suddenly jumped up from the bed, jumped in front of Li De, grabbed Li De's collar and asked loudly.

"Last time, I did upgrade from Lv1 to Lv2, and this time it was from Lv2 to Lv3." Li De answered with a very annoying expression.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Bert asked Li De in a very serious voice.

"I know you don't want to believe it, take it and have a look." Li De took out the updated ability value parchment and handed it to Bert.

In a week, the proficiency is close to 250 every day. Bert has never heard of this speed of improvement in the maze city of Orario.

Wait, it seems that I have heard of it. It seems that I have seen a similar guy.

At this moment, Bert remembered the small fish rabbit he saw before the expedition.

"【One-hearted admiration】, is it because of this skill that you improve so quickly?" Bert asked in a very strange voice after looking at the 【ability value】 list.

"Ah, yes, although I don't know how this skill came from, there is no doubt that my current strength is completely due to this skill." Li De answered very directly.

"Ah, bastard, this kind of cheating skill is really infuriating. If upgrading is so easy, we who have worked hard for so many years can become a joke." There is no doubt that Bert is deeply jealous at this moment.

"Bert, the only thing this skill can do is to save time for upgrading ability values. Upgrading is not that easy. I came to you this time just to upgrade." Li De's tone became serious when he said this.

"Asshole, isn't it enough to save the accumulated time of proficiency? But Li De, with your current state, you can wait and accumulate more before upgrading, isn't it better? You should be very clear that you should consider the benefits of upgrading after you are more prepared." Bert took two deep breaths and asked.

"The more prepared you are, the better. I know this very well. However, the monsters before the seventeenth floor, unless the number is exaggerated, can no longer put much pressure on me. I need more pressure to promote progress. Accompany me to the seventeenth floor. I want to see how powerful the Lv4 floor master giant Goliath is." Li De directly expressed his intention to challenge Goliath.

"Tsk, don't even think about it. It's impossible for you to challenge the floor master with your current strength. From the 12th floor to the 16th floor, although there are few Lv3 monsters on these floors, there are still some. Or I can take you to the 19th floor directly. Anyway, don't even think about challenging Goliath." Shaking his head, Bert said in a very serious tone.

Recently, he has been going to the dungeon with Li De to fight handsome monsters. Bert is very clear about Li De's progress and strength.

"Bert, can you tell me in detail what characteristics Goliath has?" Li De did not give up, but asked from a different angle. "The floor master Goliath is very big, seven meters tall, with a hard body and great strength. Although his speed reaction is slower than that of others of the same level, he is definitely stronger than you. This is the level difference. And these are not the most difficult things. As the first floor master to enter the dungeon, Goliath's biggest feature is that he can withstand beatings. He can also achieve self-regeneration by burning magic power when injured. Although his speed is not fast, once he cannot continue to inflict damage, he will not be able to hit him at all." Bert saw that Li De did not give up, so he could only explain helplessly.

"Bert, can you fight Goliath alone?" Li De changed the question.

"I can do it, but it is a waste of time because the damage is not enough!" Li De suddenly asked this question. Although Bert did not want to answer, he gave an answer after a moment of silence.

And this answer is not watery. Compared with several other members of the same level among the followers, Bert does have a clear advantage in speed, but his attack power is not as strong as the Amazon sisters.

That is to say, he couldn't kill Goliath quickly in a one-on-one duel. Goliath's reaction and speed couldn't catch up with Bert. The level difference was not casual, but Bert's attack couldn't cause serious injuries in one blow, and if he couldn't do that, he couldn't quickly hit Goliath, who could continue to burn magic to repair his injuries.

To put it bluntly, he could only consume and exhaust Goliath's magic, so that it couldn't regenerate by burning magic to end the battle.

"How about we try it together? You also know that I have the magic of [teleportation]. Safety can be guaranteed before the number reaches a critical point. And with your reaction speed, it should be no problem for you to take care of me. You should also know how rich the achievements accumulated by challenging opponents of higher levels are. Even if you don't upgrade once, you will definitely upgrade twice." Li De said with shining eyes.

Bert didn't know how to answer Li De's proposal.

But there was no doubt that what Li De said was right. According to the experience of reaching the floor master, even if he handled most of it himself, the rest was enough for Li De, a Lv.2, to accumulate and improve his progress.

"Ah, it's really troublesome, but it's just this time." After making the decision, Bert began to explain to Li De.

"What, we still have to prepare to camp on the 18th floor?" Li De asked in confusion.

"Nonsense, do you think Goliath is waiting for you? We are lucky to meet him as soon as we go there. If we are killed by other followers first, we can only wait for the next regeneration in seven days. If that's the case, I will take you to the 19th floor to fight."

After listening to Bert's answer, Li De didn't say much and went straight to prepare the necessary supplies.

Two hours later, the two prepared everything and set off for the underground city.

Half a day later, with Bert paving the way, the two arrived quickly. The huge corridor on the seventeenth floor was in a mess. What Bert said was right. They were a step slow. Someone had already taken care of the floor owner who had just refreshed.
