Chapter 37

As a flash of vortex light appeared at the doorway of the Death Mine Dungeon instance, the two entered the instance again.

Experiencing this scene for the second time, even the final boss was instantly killed in an instant.

Lu Qingyu had become completely numb; she began to suspect whether the Goblin King was Jiang Chen's illegitimate child, why he was so generous with experience.

Seeing the level-up light on Jiang Chen's body, Lu Qingyu exclaimed, 'You leveled up again? You're already Level 15?'

Jiang Chen nodded; indeed he had reached Level 15.

Lu Qingyu felt a bit discouraged; she was still 30% experience away from Level 13, and the gap with Jiang Chen seemed to be widening.

She said resentfully, 'I'm really unwilling; this young lady is feeling quite fired up...'

The system notification sounded again:

'Defeat Goblin King, experience +25000'

'Obtained Bronze-grade weapon, Goblin King's Long Sword.'

'Obtained Low-level Monster Core.'

Lu Qingyu sighed after seeing these notifications: 'Too bad it's not a staff.'

Jiang Chen blinked slightly after hearing her regret.

He then softly asked, 'Are you looking for the staff that drops from this instance's final boss?'

Lu Qingyu nodded: 'Exactly, the staff dropped by the Goblin King, the final boss of this instance, can be said to be the best staff for mages before Level 20!'

'If I bought it from the Exchange in the Profession Hall, it would be expensive, and I don't want to keep asking my family for money...'

Jiang Chen said nothing after hearing it, moved his hand, and saw an object swoosh toward Lu Qingyu's hand.

Then she suddenly caught a black shadow.

'Goblin King's staff'

This was exactly the staff she had been hoping for.

Jiang Chen calmly

said, 'Here you go.'

For Jiang Chen, this was merely a dropped item from a boss; there was no need to cherish it like a broken broom.

To him, this staff was just a trivial matter.

Lu Qingyu stood there dazed, and after a while said gratefully, 'Thank you.'

She hadn't expected Jiang Chen to give her such a dropped item; in her view, Jiang Chen was also a Magic Class Profession and could use this weapon.

Then she felt puzzled: 'Why don't you use it yourself?'

Jiang Chen took out a Magic Book and said, 'I use this.'

Although both staffs and magic books are weapons for mages, most mages tend to use staffs.

Because besides looking imposing, a staff can sometimes be used for blocking and simple physical attacks, making it relatively more practical.

Lu Qingyu thought Jiang Chen would use a staff, after all staffs are usually more common.

She never imagined he would use a magic book, going against the norm.

'Then... don't you think a staff is actually used more often than a magic book?'

Jiang Chen shook his head: 'I don't like staffs.'

This reason...

Lu Qingyu thought for a moment but couldn't find a reasonable rebuttal.

She thought it over and felt that the magic book must have some extra attribute bonuses, which is why Jiang Chen insisted on using it.

He didn't care at all for that attribute on the staff.

Forget it; anyway, since the Job Transfer Ceremony, this stiff guy has become increasingly inscrutable, and Lu Qingyu, unable to figure him out, simply stopped trying.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, paid no attention to Lu Qingyu's thoughts; instead, he was checking his attribute changes after leveling up.

'Name: Jiang Chen'

'Profession: Necromancer Summoner Onlyone'

"

'Level: 15'

'Strength: 200'

'Agility: 200'

'Spirit: 800 (+20)'

'Constitution: 200 (+20)'

'Equipment: Goblin King's Magic Book, Knowledge Robe'

'Summon Queue: 84/150, Skeleton Warrior (quantity: 84)'

'Skills:'

'1. Soul Burn LV15, using Necrotic Fire to intensely scorch the target's soul; the higher the Spiritual Power, the higher the skill level, the greater the damage.'

'2. Skeleton Revive LV15, summon a skeleton to fight for you; the summoned skeleton's profession is random, and depends on the caster's Spiritual Power and skill level.'

'3. Corpse Explosion LV1, detonate corpses, dealing damage equal to 10% of the corpse's HP to enemies within a 1-meter radius.'

'Talents:'

'1. Perfect Buff LV2, a unique skill, all skill effects are increased 20-fold over their base.'

'2. Damage Transfer LV2, redirect all damage received to your summoned entities or other targets; the exact effect is for the host to explore.'

Finally reaching Level 15, the chances of getting into Shenlong University have greatly increased.

Previously, due to the rush to level up, there was some pressure from racing against time; now the odds are better, and Jiang Chen can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

If he can reach Level 16, that would be best; if he really can't, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After reaching Level 15, the experience gain rate slowed again.

It won't be like now, where you can level up easily, and the monsters' experience will also decrease relatively.

Originally Jiang Chen expected to raise his experience by about 12%, but it turned out to be only 8%.

Although there are two people

in the party, Lu Qingyu took away part of the experience.

It is indeed much slower.

Jiang Chen did a quick calculation in his mind.

Lu Qingyu's Basic Cooldown Talisman can still let the two of them clear three consecutive Instances.

At his speed, three Instances take only half an hour.

This number of times is neither too many nor too few.

Afterwards there will be two natural cooldown periods.

It's not that they can still run five Instances.

Of course the final two times must also include Lu Qingyu.

Since he brought her at the start, he couldn't stop bringing her later; Jiang Chen wouldn't do that.

"A two‑person party running five times should be enough to level up to Level 16."

Looking at the Goblin King lying on the ground, Jiang Chen said lightly, "Sorry, I might have to kill you five more times."

Seeing Jiang Chen actually talk to the Goblin King, Lu Qingyu felt very surprised.

Jiang Chen's words made her smile faintly.

What, kill five more times!

"Why are you talking to the BOSS? It can't understand."

Jiang Chen whispered, "I was just saying something; whether it can understand or not doesn't matter."

Lu Qingyu was even more puzzled, "Then why did you say that?"

Jiang Chen did not answer Lu Qingyu's question.

For some reason, Lu Qingyu recalled the scene where Jiang Chen just now said sorry to the BOSS, and suddenly found Jiang Chen rather cute.

Ask who would be so earnest in saying sorry to the BOSS.

Instances are meant to be farmed, after all.

BOSSes are there to be killed, after all.

Those high‑level Instances' BOSSes, though they must be killed countless times, likewise have countless adventurers die at their hands.

There's nothing to be sorry about.

"What a stiff person, but also a bit cute."

Lu Qingyu suddenly laughed out loud.

Jiang Chen gave her a strange look, "Let's go out, let's continue."

"Alright, let's continue."

Lu Qingyu now also tasted the feeling of hugging a thigh.

This feeling, how to put it…

It's just too exhilarating; never even dreamed that the leveling speed could be this fast!

Too terrifying!
