216: Chapter 216: With our team composition, are we going to directly tackle level 80 dungeons?
Wang Donghai pointed at himself, his expression blank.
"I'm going to a Rank 80 Dungeon?"
He Zhongtang corrected him in a low voice from the side, "And a Rank 85 one."
Even the steady-looking Wang Wei had a look of surprise on his face.
It wasn't that he thought Zhang Jian was bragging.
If the other party could say such things, he should have a certain level of confidence.
But could they really do it with the three of them in tow?
He really had some doubts.
Zhang Jian didn't explain much.
Instead, he selected a few specific types from the Puppets he had refined earlier and set off with everyone.
Seeing their figures, Director Yun Wenhong was curious and quietly followed them.
In front of the Rank 80 Dungeon [Solomon's Treasure Trove].
The place was deserted and very quiet.
Just as they arrived, a flash of light appeared, and a team emerged.
However, there were only three of them.
Wang Donghai was a bit surprised.
This team is quite powerful, only three people?
As it turned out.
He heard the frustrated voices of the others.
"Now Old Wei and Dongzi have used up all the resurrection counts on their Medals. The three of us won't be able to run the Dungeon for the next few days!"
Someone looked hesitant, "Should we try to find two more teammates and give it a shot first?"
Another person flatly refused.
"With our strength, how can we just find teammates randomly?"
"Even if their strength is enough, it would take a lot of time and contribution points to build rapport. We might as well wait for those two."
As he spoke, he looked toward Zhang Jian and the others.
After spotting He Zhongtang, his expression turned unfriendly.
"Little He, what is someone of your strength doing here?"
He Zhongtang's expression turned a bit sour.
The person questioning him was He Weilong, a distant uncle of his.
He had never relied on the man for anything, yet he was lectured at every turn.
He Weilong thought he was doing nothing in the Logistics Department and failing to bring honor to the He family.
In the past, he would have endured this attitude.
After all, the other man was stronger than him; not only was he a Rank 81 Professional, but he was also an Associate Professor in the Spell department.
But now.
His strength was no longer what it used to be, and he had even met a big shot like Zhang Jian.
He felt.
It was time for him to have some backbone when responding.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but puff out his chest.
"What? Is this Dungeon owned by Professor He's family? Can't I come?"
He Weilong was stunned at first, then became furious.
"Is this how you respond to my concern? How disrespectful to your elders!"
He Zhongtang smiled disdainfully, "Forget the concern. Just don't talk bad about me behind my back."
The other group happened to be blocking the Dungeon entrance, so He Zhongtang boldly reached out his hand.
"Excuse us, everyone. We're going into the Dungeon."
He Weilong's face turned red. Just as he was about to explode, a man with glasses beside him pulled him back.
Only then did he see.
There were others in front of his good-for-nothing nephew.
Wang Wei and Wang Donghai were both wearing Logistics Department patrol uniforms. He just snorted inwardly and didn't bother to look twice.
However, the familiar fluctuations from the Medal on Zhang Jian's chest made his heart skip a beat.
This was also an Associate Professor of the same level as him!
Moreover, Zhang Jian's youth made him hard to underestimate, and he couldn't quite figure out the man's background.
It wasn't until another person beside him whispered in his ear that he realized.
This was the legendary Zhang Jian who had jumped two Ranks?
Although he didn't think the other's strength could exceed his own, thinking of the rumors about the man's deep connection with the Dean, he still forced a smile and nodded.
"This must be Professor Zhang Jian. Is there anything you need to know?"
Zhang Jian responded indifferently.
"We already understand this Dungeon very clearly. Just please move out of the way."
He Weilong's eyes widened.
"You!"
The other two also looked displeased.
How could this young man be so arrogant?
However, since they were in the wrong, they suppressed their anger and said nothing.
Not until Zhang Jian and the other three stood before the Dungeon, looking like they were about to clear it together.
Only then did the expressions of the three men become interesting.
A lucky Associate Professor who had just completed his Second Job Change, and three slackers from the Logistics Department.
They actually dared to enter a Dungeon that even they couldn't conquer?
The three looked at each other, their expressions uniformly filled with disbelief.
Their steps, which were originally intended to leave, stopped in unison.
They wanted to see.
Just what kind of trick this bizarre combination was up to.
...
Director Yun Wenhong poked his head out from behind some nearby trees, also unable to believe his eyes.
Isn't Professor Zhang Jian being too overconfident?
No matter how strong he is, even if it's said he cleared a Rank 60 Dungeon on Hell difficulty.
This Rank 80 Dungeon is more than two levels higher.
He had stayed at Rank 80 for nearly half a year, so he had naturally visited this Dungeon.
Back then.
A few experts from other departments had formed a team and invited him to join.
He knew very well that with his strength, his combat ability wasn't particularly outstanding.
Their willingness to team up with him was entirely due to the influence of his position.
But he was upright and didn't fear gossip; he wouldn't engage in any abuse of power just because of a team-up.
So he gladly accepted.
As a result.
In a full five-person team, the other four were the top existence at the same Rank, and only he was slightly inferior.
Although they successfully cleared it on nightmare difficulty, they only received a B+ Rank.
For him, the gains were acceptable.
But before entering the Dungeon, the others had claimed they would lead him to get an S-Rank evaluation or higher.
They were so embarrassed by the result that they didn't have the nerve to contact him for several months.
He later joined one or two other teams, but their performance was even worse than before.
Once, they almost failed to clear even the nightmare difficulty.
This Dungeon had almost become his nightmare.
He never expected.
Zhang Jian would just walk in so casually, without even a full team?
Thinking of the recent achievements of Wang Wei and the other mentors, and the constant images of them bringing Sword Puppets, Director Yun Wenhong's heart stirred.
Could it be that these Sword Puppets are powerful to such an extent?
...
Inside the Dungeon.
Wang Wei and the others were already too busy to keep up.
They no longer had time to see if the Sword Puppets were strong or not.
Zhang Jian, who looked like a god amidst the lightning, had completely won them over.
If not for the fact that they could clearly see his information in the team interface.
Second Job Change, Rank 40, [Sword Domain Sovereign].
They would have suspected that Zhang Jian's actual Rank was 80.
No!
Wang Wei shook his head.
Even the most top-tier Rank 80 Professional couldn't act like Zhang Jian, crushing everything in a nightmare difficulty Dungeon of the same Rank.
Every skill he released resulted in an instant kill.
Even with a normal attack, he didn't need a second strike.
His attack range was even much greater than his own as a Mage!
It was one thing for his attack to be so abnormal.
They were very cautious at first.
When Zhang Jian asked them to lure monsters after entering, they didn't dare to lure too many.
For fear that some might slip through and attack Zhang Jian.
In their view.
With such powerful attacks, his defense and health must be his weaknesses.
Moreover, no matter how strong Zhang Jian's base attributes were, he was only a Second Job Change Professional, so he could only learn epic-grade skills and wear epic-grade weapons and equipment.
Facing BOSSes of epic-grade and mythical level quality, many skill effects and equipment traits would be greatly diminished.
Among the three of them, there were no support or healing classes.
They were afraid that if Zhang Jian got hurt by accident, they wouldn't be able to rescue him in time.
But what left them dumbfounded was.
Not only was Zhang Jian's attack incredibly strong, but his resistance was also not lacking at all.
Ordinary monsters couldn't break through his defense, and Leaders and elite-Rank monsters could only deal minimal damage.
The reason it was called minimal.
Was because the number for Zhang Jian's health limit made them doubt if there was something wrong with their math.
Why would a Rank 40 Professional have over 300 million health points?
With such resistance, even the ultimate move of the final mythical level BOSS, which dealt a full ten million true damage.
Was easily resisted by Zhang Jian's various affix effects.
His health bar barely even moved, and they cleared it easily.
Since the moment they entered the Dungeon and started luring the first monster.
Under Zhang Jian's extreme killing efficiency, they were instantly like wound-up toys, running back and forth without stopping.
They had no time at all to notice the various System prompts constantly floating by or the drops on the ground.
Not until the BOSS fell and the prompt for the highest evaluation of nightmare difficulty popped up.
Only then did the few of them have time to look at the experience prompt for killing the BOSS.
"Teammate [Zhang Jian] has killed the Rank 80 mythical level BOSS monster [Solomon Emperor Guy]."
"Based on the team contribution distribution, you have received 94,000,000 experience points."
"Level gap bonus effect activated, you have received an additional 94,000,000 experience points."
"Under teammate [Zhang Jian]'s [Experience Torrent] skill effect, you have received an additional 59,220,000 experience points."
"Teammate [Zhang Jian]'s [Experience Torrent] designated effect activated, you have received an additional 432,664,806,000 experience points."
"Under teammate [Zhang Jian]'s [Experience Torrent] max-level trait, you have received an additional 432,724,026,000 experience points."
Seeing the experience prompts appear one by one.
Wang Wei, who had always been interested in data, felt that his brain couldn't quite process the numbers.
Wait, where did this exaggerated number come from?
He shook his head to calm himself down.
He started to piece it together from the beginning.
The base experience of a Rank 80 ordinary monster is 23,500 points.
Doubled for nightmare difficulty, that's 47,000 points.
The multiplier for a mythical level BOSS is 10,000 times that of an ordinary monster, which is only 470,000,000 points.
If the team distributes it according to the contribution ratio, among the four of them, even if he was the previous main damage dealer, he hadn't really made a move.
Naturally, everyone got the minimum 20%.
Being able to get 94,000,000 experience, they were already very satisfied.
The display just now was also correct.
The level gap bonus, 10% per Rank, they were a full 10 Ranks below, so a 100% increase was a huge surprise.
Up to here, everything was normal.
But what on earth is Zhang Jian's [Experience Torrent]?
The additional experience gained directly changed its unit of measurement?
They were originally supposed to get experience in the tens of millions.
But because of this bonus of Zhang Jian's, whether it was a skill trait or a status trait.
They directly received three more additional bonuses in a row.
One for over 50 million, and two for over 400 billion?
Wang Wei blinked.
Is he seeing things, mistaking "Wan" for "Yi"?
He hurriedly checked his panel.
In the experience value slot, it clearly displayed: 1,000,041,812,360 points.
Wang Wei laughed.
Hahaha!
The world has gone mad!
A new unit of measurement has appeared!
The others also gradually discovered this and fell into complete madness.
Although they had anticipated beforehand that if Zhang Jian really could lead them to clear a Rank 80 Dungeon.
Even if it was only on Normal or Hard difficulty, the harvest would not be small.
But to have such a harvest.
To be honest, they couldn't even have imagined it in their dreams!
Even before this, they had never thought that experience points could be displayed in "Trillions".
They naturally knew that 1 Trillion was 10,000 hundred-millions.
But even for a Rank 99 Professional, leveling up only required a few billion.
Tens of billions was a level that might only be needed after the Rank 99 cap Breakthrough following the System update.
It was something for those top-tier experts, the Saints, to worry about.
The few of them were just small fry at Rank 70.
How did they jump several levels and directly experience this kind of numerical value in advance?
The way the few of them looked at Zhang Jian had completely changed.
If they had admired and respected Zhang Jian before.
Now, they were a little afraid.
Big shot, are you a human or an alien?
You don't seem to be in the same space-time as us people from Water Blue Planet!
While the three of them were emotional, Zhang Jian was very calm.
This wasn't the first time he had gained this level of experience.
On the other hand, the Dungeon drops were quite good.
Because the others all strongly expressed that since they had gained so much experience from Zhang Jian, the debt of gratitude was as heavy as a mountain, so they didn't want the drops.
Therefore.
All the drops were collected by Zhang Jian.
In the end.
A total of 51 legendary rank items, 11 epic-grade items, and 7 mythical level items were dropped.
Originally.
Even with an SSS-Rank evaluation, getting one or two mythical level items at most would be considered an explosion of luck for such a Dungeon.
However, Zhang Jian relied on the help of the [Godslayer: Destiny Inverse Scale] affix.
And gained an additional 5 items.
Among these, although quite a few skill books dropped.
4 epic-grade and 1 mythical level.
Not a single one was a passive type.
This showed how low the drop rate was.
Among the epic-grade skills, there were a few that suited the trio's professions.
Zhang Jian generously told them to each pick one.
At first, the three of them made various excuses and didn't dare to take them.
Only after seeing that Zhang Jian was getting a bit impatient did they finally accept.
Their gratitude toward Zhang Jian naturally increased quite a bit.
After coming out of the Dungeon, they thought this Dungeon was over and they might be going to the Rank 85 Dungeon.
But they didn't expect.
Zhang Jian led them back inside.
The goal: Hell difficulty!
...
He Weilong felt cold all over, and his hands couldn't stop trembling.
Just now.
His nephew He Donghai, whom he had always looked down upon, had actually successfully cleared the Dungeon that even he had a headache over.
And.
With a time of 6 minutes and 44 seconds, he had directly shattered the original record by a large margin.
Crowning the first place on this Dungeon's speedrun leaderboard.
Seeing the familiar name appear on that high-and-mighty throne.
He Weilong was both confused and afraid.
Whether it was He Donghai suddenly becoming powerful.
Or him finding a powerful backer that he himself had to look up to.
Either way, it was very bad news for him.
Given how he had often targeted the other man and his attitude toward him.
He Donghai probably wouldn't give him any respect in the future.
He felt both regretful and conflicted.
Could it be that he, the uncle, had to apologize to his nephew?
