EXP Is Golden

Leah is a tenacious young woman who secures the rare privilege of participating in the closed beta test of a groundbreaking new game. Rather than relying solely on her own efforts to level up, she discovers that she possesses an extraordinary hidden skill known as "Subordinate." This unique ability grants her the power to recruit the non-player characters she encounters throughout the virtual world, transforming them into fiercely loyal followers bound to her command. The true brilliance of this skill lies in its unprecedented mechanics. Every point of experience earned by Leah’s subordinates during their activities is directly transferred to her, allowing her to grow stronger without needing to grind every battle herself. As she journeys through the game's uncharted territories, this passive accumulation of power becomes her greatest strategic advantage. With each new NPC she meets and converts, Leah gradually expands her party, building a dedicated network of allies who fight, explore, and progress on her behalf. What begins as a simple beta test quickly evolves into a calculated campaign of expansion, as she leverages her ever-growing roster of subordinates to amass unparalleled strength in a world where experience is truly golden.
