Lu Ming walked over and picked up the gem that had fallen to the ground, along with the 7 Copper s dropped by the Undead Mage.

  He g the gem.

  [Soul Stone] (Special Item)

  [Purity: 13%]

  [Description: A stone formed by the fusion of souls, possessing powerful spiritual energy. It is said that the bcksmiths in Starlight City are buying these in rge quantities...]

  The Soul Stone is the most valuable item iher Ghost Tower map!

  Pyers submit Soul Stoo the bcksmiths in Starlight City to receive rewards.

  Moreover, as long as there are enough Soul Stones, pyers repeatedly submit tasks and cim rewards!

  This is the core reason why the her Ghost Tower map is so popur among pyers in the sed yer!

  Wealthy pyers, who 't be bothered to farm themselves, simply buy Soul Stones from other pyers aedly cim rewards from the bcksmiths to level up quickly.

  In addition to generous experiend a rge amount of Copper rewards, there is also a ce to receive Bronze-level [Soul Set] equipment as a reward!

  The higher the purity of the Soul Stone submitted to the mert, the menerous the reward, and the higher the ce of obtaining Soul Set equipment.

  Therefore, Soul Stones are valued based on their purity; the higher the purity, the more valuable they are.

  Currently, on the market, a Soul Stone like the one in Lu Ming's hand, with a purity between 0%-40%, is sidered fifth-grade, valued at about 20 bucks each!

  Purity between 41%-70% is frade, priced at about 50 bucks each.

  Purity between 71%-90% is third-grade, priced at 100 each!

  Purity between 91%-99% is sed-grade, priced at 300 each!

  If you mao get a perfect Soul Stoh 100% purity, you're in for a fortune.

  Because on the market, a perfect Soul Stone is priced as high as a thousand bucks each!

  Due to the purchases by these wealthy pyers, Soul Stones are in short supply on the market, so many pyers make a living by farming Soul Stones iher Ghost Tower to support their families.

  Someone calcuted.

  If you have enough money, spending about a billion on Soul Stones effortlessly level you from 10 to 50 in just one day!

  For someone like Lu Ming, who bends over backward for a living.

  "Better to keep my feet on the ground!"

  The drop rate of Soul Stones is extremely low, only about 10%.

  And the lower the phe lower the probability of high-purity Soul Stones appearing.

  In the first pne of the her Ghost Tower where Lu Ming is currently located, the undead between levels 11-15 mostly drop the lowest-grade fifth-grade items.

  However, Lu Ming wins by quantity.

  He has an Undead Legion, killing monsters at speeds dozens or even hundreds of times faster than other pyers of the same level!

  At this moment, 240 sed-tier Undead Warriors, uhe dual formation of [War Tread] and [Life Barrier], are rampaging through the vast camp, engaging in a massive sughter.

  It's no exaggeration to say that the Undead Warriors, with an attack power as high as 1672, even surpass the health points of the undead monsters in the camp!

  So cutting them down is as easy as slig vegetables!

  The battle notificatio ringing in Lu Ming's ears.

  [Ding~ Killed level 14 Undead Knight, Experience Points +78!]

  [Ding~ Killed level 13 Undead Knight, Experience Points +68!]

  [Ding...]

  In a two-person team, each persos 80% experience.

  The final blow does not affect this, so Lu Ming still gets 100% of the full kill rewards.

  This means that even with Lin Youwei, it's as if he's sol, with no impa his own bes!

  Meanwhile, the Soul Stones in Lu Ming's backpack are increasing at a visible rate.

  In no time, he already has dozens!

  Lu Ming took a look.

  Although most are low-purity fifth-grade items, with only one frade item ien, the sheer quantity outweighs the quality!

  It's worth noting that even those who have been farming iher Ghost Tower for over a decade, on a good day, only gather 10-20 Soul Stones!

  "Something's nht!"

  Just as Lu Ming was browsing online for information about Soul Stone drops, he suddenly noticed a problem.

  "The drop rate of Soul Stones is only about 10%, meaning you have to kill ten uo possibly get one."

  "Why does it feel like my drop rate is higher than that?"

  Acc to the kill records, the Undead Warriors have sughtered nearly a hundred undead so far.

  Yet the number of Soul Stones in his bag has already exceeded thirty!

  And it seems like the Copper s dropped by these undead are also unusual!

  Normally, a monster between levels 11-15 should drop 2-3 Copper s.

  But eadead killed by Lu Ming's Undead Warriors yields almost 7-8 Copper s!

  "What's going on?"

  In his surprise, Lu Ming suddenly remembered: when Lin Youwei showed him her at panel, her talent seemed to be a drop rate boost!

  Thinking of this, Lu Ming opehe skill panel and indeed found a temporary team-shared skill: Drop Rate Boost (Increases monster drop rate by 10%)!

  What surprised Lu Ming even more was that this skill, shared by Lin Youwei's talent, could be enhanced by his own talent [prehensive Amplification]!

  This means the inal 10% drop rate boost was enhao 200%!

  It was this 200% drop rate boost that tripled Lu Ming's monster drop rate!

  Thus, the Soul Stone, whially had only a 10% drop rate, now had a 30% drop rate in Lu Ming's hands!

  And the Copper drop rate was also tripled!

  Mystery solved!

  Lu Ming gnced back at Lin Youwei, who was unaware of all this, feeling a burst of joy inside.

  "Bringing her along was indeed a wise choice!"

  This is no burden!

  This is practically a lucky charm!

  Of course, it also requires being with someone like Lu Ming, who has a ten-star talent for prehensive Amplification, to make it work.

  Otherwise, her talent shared with others would still be ckluster.

  Thus, with the triple drop rate boost and the sughter by the Undead Legion, the Soul Stones in Lu Ming's backpack accumuted rapidly at a visible pace.

  The number of Copper s also skyrocketed!

  "At the market rate of 2 bucks per Copper , it's like earning fifteen or sixteen bucks for every monster killed, enough for a bowl of beef noodles!"

  Lu Ming never imagihat one day, making money would be as easy as pig it up!

  Meanwhile.

  The terrifyingly powerful Undead Warriors scattered throughout the camp naturally attracted the attention of many nearby pyers.

  Pyers cast looks of shod awe at the Undead Warriors.

  "Damn! Whose summon is this? So badass! Cutting down level 13 and 14 monsters like they're nothing!"

  "Why does it look familiar? Could it be that Trickster who went viral on TikTok yesterday for taking down a Bck Iron level BOSS in ten seds?"

  "Holy crap! Where's that Trickster? Let's go and team up!"

  ...

  Over here, Lin Youwei, who didn't have to do anything but watch her experience bar soar, was stunned by the speed of the increase.

  And Lu Ming wasn't idle either.

  Although he didn't o kill monsters himself, every minute he would draw his sword and casually kill a moo increase the proficy of his [Sword Draw] skill.

  After more than an hour.

  After drawing his sword a huimes, the proficy finally reached 100 points.

  [Ding~ gratutions, your [Sword Draw] skill has upgraded to E-level!]
