Lorne did not feel anything after reading the list.

However, it had to be said that the high-level players’ leveling speed was indeed much faster than he imagined.

Especially the two people at the front of the rankings, they had already reached Level 17.

Unfortunately, he did not know any of them. The only one he knew was the seventh-ranked Twinkle Rose.

Although the big-busted sister did not have a hidden class, because she had bought a lot of high-level equipment from him, her level increased very quickly.

“By the time I enter the main city, they will probably be Level 20 already, right?”

Seeing that he was still Level 10, Lorne shook his head and smiled.

This situation was completely within his expectations. After all, when he was in the Beginner Village, he had already left three days later than the other players.

Now that he was doing a mission in the Dark Forest, it was normal for him to be behind in level.

But that did not concern Lorne.

In terms of strength, he was definitely first place.

He was even several times stronger than second place.

After all, the lowest level of his pets was Bronze-grade, and the highest was even a Bronze-grade Boss. It was not something ordinary players could compare to.

“Why are there so many hidden classes?”

Then, Lorne looked at everyone’s class.

It could be seen that half of the players in the top ten were hidden classes.

Was this a class change from a professional mentor?

Or was it a reward for encountering a special mission in the wilderness?

Lorne was interested.

This was because he also wanted a Summoner’s hidden class. This way, he could obtain more pet spaces.

With that in mind, he opened his friend list and contacted Twinkle Rose.

“Big-busted Sister, let me ask you a question. Where did those hidden classes on the leaderboard come from?”

The message was quickly sent.

At this moment, Twinkle Rose, who was leveling up in the valley, looked at the chat and could not help but smile.

Although she did not like the title “Big-busted Sister”, after thinking about it for the past few days, she realized that she was more willing to accept “Big-busted Sister” than being called “small” by others. Moreover, not everyone was worthy of the title, “Big-busted Sister”. She should be proud.

However, she did not want to be taken advantage of by Tyrant.

Therefore, in terms of words, she had to be more brazen than that guy! Let’s see who could take advantage of who!

Thinking of this, she smiled evilly and replied with a message.

“Little Brother, you don’t even know this? Why don’t you beg Big Sister to tell you? How about it?”

Twinkle Rose wanted Lorne to bow before her.

But Lorne did not fall for her tricks and counterattacked mercilessly.

“Forget it. I can find out on the Internet.”

Seeing this reply, Twinkle Rose stomped her feet angrily, but in the end, she still bit her red lips and explained, “Most of the hidden classes that appear now are obtained from professional mentors, but each class will only produce one hidden class. Therefore, only the first player who completes a Class Advancement mission can obtain it.”

“The current fifth-ranked Proud War Soul, his hidden class was obtained from a Class Advancement mentor. The quality is Elite. As for the first-ranked Fire Beacon, his hidden class was obtained by completing a special hidden mission. The quality is Rare.”

After explaining, Twinkle Rose asked, “By the way, Brother Tyrant, which main city have you gone to? Why do I keep seeing cross-server communication?”

“Iron Skull City,” Lorne said.

“Impossible. I’m in Iron Skull City.”

“I haven’t entered the main city yet. I’m doing a mission in Green Rock Town.”

“Huh?”

The beautiful guild leader was stunned, then she immediately reminded him, “Don’t do that officer’s challenge mission. There’s no reward at all, it’ll be a waste of time. You’d better hurry over. I’ll bring you to attack the boss.”

Twinkle Rose just happened to have the coordinates of the Boss. She had let Tyrant join because she wanted to solidify their friendly relationship.

However, Lorne rejected her.

“No, I need to spend a few days to complete this mission. I appreciate your kindness.”

“Eh, you’re really ambitious. Forget it, Little Brother, do your best. Big Sister will take her leave now.”

Twinkle Rose used a respectful tone, clearly thinking that Lorne was farming for the commander’s challenge, so she was speechless.

Lorne did not explain further.

At this moment, he just had to make a killing silently.

…

And so it went, the rest of the day passed in the Dark Forest.

Other than some bodily needs, he had been in the game the entire time, leading the elves around the forest.

With four powerful pets by his side, there was no need for Lorne to fight in the forest by himself. Moreover, Rimuru had a powerful healing effect, making the entire trip a breeze.

However, the high-intensity battle that had been going on for more than ten hours still put a lot of pressure on his mind and body.

Lorne did not force an all-nighter. He simply rested when he got tired.

Around dawn, the last wave of monsters fell at Lorne’s feet.

Ding!

“Congratulations on killing the demonized black wolf. Elf Reputation+10.”

Ding!

“Due to your Elf Race Reputation reaching 10,000 points, the elves’ attitude towards you has changed!”

…

Ding!

“You protected the elves. Elf Leader Mayra’s affinity for you+1.”

Ding!

“Congratulations! Elf Leader Mayra’s affinity for you has reached 100 points. Your current relationship is [Acquaintance].”

…

A series of notifications appeared, and the elves’ attitude toward Lorne changed greatly.

First of all, his racial reputation exceeded 10,000 points, and the overall attitude of the elves toward him had been greatly improved.

As for Elf Leader Mayra, under Lorne’s long guidance, her affinity finally reached 100 points, and her attitude also increased to [Acquaintance]!

In “Divine Realm”, high-level NPCs had an affinity system with players.

The rough classifications were: -200 (Hatred), -100 (Disgust, -50 (Dislike), -30 (Suspicious), 0 (Neutral), 50 (Foreign), 100 (Acquaintance), 1,000 (Friendly), 10,000 (Friend), 50,000 (Admiration), 100,000 (Idolization), 200,000 (Close Friend).

It was definitely a good achievement to be able to reach the level of [Acquaintance] at this stage, especially when facing elves.

This result also put an end to the day’s gaming session.

It was already after midnight. After setting up a temporary camp for the elves, Lorne went offline to rest.
