Exclusive to [Zhang Jian]

Zhang Jian nodded lightly after reading the upgraded badge stats.

The effect was pretty good.

Although the base stat bonuses weren't too high compared to the two rings, the added crit rate was still very useful.

It allowed him to trigger crits as much as possible in his normal state, accelerating the accumulation of the crit attribute's progress.

It could be considered an indirect increase in efficiency.

As for the trait within this badge, not only was the mana consumption huge, but he hadn't encountered dungeons or wild environments with such terrain restrictions, so it wasn't very useful for the time being.

This was also the reason why he hadn't paid much attention to this badge before.

Now, being able to increase his own strength a little more would improve his clear speed, so it was still necessary.

However, according to the current progress, he could at least run the dungeon 10 times today.

He should be able to upgrade it further, and then he could really make good use of it.

He put on the brand-new badge and immediately felt the strength in his body ready to burst out.

He glanced to the side.

Yan Han and the other were trying hard to pull the monsters from everywhere together, their faces bitter as they took hits continuously.

Yet they didn't dare to fight back, afraid of disrupting the monsters' formation and affecting Zhang Jian's performance later.

Zhang Jian was both touched and amused.

"Let go of those monsters and let me handle them!"

Amidst laughter, the four of them cooperated more and more tacitly in the dungeon.

Wang Fei, through continuous observation and statistics, had gradually become familiar with everyone's base attributes and skill effects.

His commanding became increasingly excellent.

Finally, when they cleared the dungeon again.

The group discovered that their final clear speed was actually 10 minutes faster.

And on the leaderboard, a slight change had appeared.

Wang Fei, with 3422 points, led Zhu Jiuxiao by 2 points and finally reached second place.

Wei Donglai and Yan Han, with a score of 2848, strongly surpassed the beautiful girl duo and Sun Yu, directly parachuting into fifth and sixth place.

However, there was only a gap of about 200 points between them.

The two celebrated happily for a short while.

The moment they entered the dungeon again.

Kamishiro Chio and Han Xueyao appeared together, light flickering on the leaderboard as their rankings surpassed Wei Donglai and the other again.

Looking at the four disappearing figures, the blue-haired Han Xueyao wrinkled her cute nose.

"Sister, will these people be our opponents?"

The red-haired Kamishiro Chio smiled bitterly.

"Didn't you notice that their speed is getting faster and faster?"

"Right now, we might still be on par with them, but I'm afraid it won't be long before they far surpass us."

"Our opponents should be Sun Yu, or..."

She looked at the tenth-place position, her expression solemn.

She had never heard of this Ashina from the Samarkand Kingdom before.

Yet he was able to quietly squeeze into the top ten; he must have extraordinary skills.

Perhaps he could stabilize his position, or even go further?

The two felt an urgent pressure.

...

The fourth time they entered the dungeon, everyone was already familiar with the path and had entered their respective roles.

Wang Fei's command was becoming more proficient, and the performance of Wei Donglai and the other was also full of tacit understanding.

Zhang Jian, needless to say.

With Wang Fei helping to coordinate the big picture, his fighting became obviously simpler and easier.

He originally wanted to upgrade the [abyssal ring] in time.

But thinking that upgrading only by 1 Rank wouldn't add many attributes, and it might affect Wang Fei's command, he didn't consider it for the time being.

He prepared to wait until the next time the [guardian badge] could be upgraded, and then upgrade them together.

This dungeon run was uneventful, and even Wei Donglai and Yan Han didn't make any mistakes.

The final result was fixed at 45 minutes!

The group didn't even look at the leaderboard anymore.

Instead, they directly recovered their status and entered again.

Especially for Wei Donglai and Yan Han, they were filled with two hundred percent fighting spirit.

Although from the second dungeon run onwards, all the points they finally obtained had to be exchanged for what Zhang Jian needed according to his requirements.

But the EXP was added to their own panels.

Although they didn't have the crit/bonus attributes like Zhang Jian that could easily farm millions of EXP, even under normal circumstances, the EXP they could obtain was already very exaggerated.

Take the last wave of level 23 ordinary monsters as an example.

Under normal circumstances, the base EXP for this level is 900 points.

They could allocate 30% according to the contribution ratio, which is 270 points.

Before, any one of them could get 90 points of EXP if they killed a monster of the same level alone.

The gap between the two seemed small.

But after the level-skipping bonus of up to 14 levels, 270 points became 648 points.

It was enough to equal what they would get by killing 7 monsters of the same level.

And the most critical thing is.

This kind of EXP acquisition basically didn't require them to make a move.

With Zhang Jian's killing efficiency, sometimes there would be eighteen consecutive EXP prompts flooding the screen in an instant.

That refreshing feeling, those who haven't experienced it won't understand!

After one dungeon run, the base EXP obtained was at least 300,000.

And with various types of evaluation bonuses, almost every time it was an SSS+++ evaluation.

They could also receive an additional 1,000,000 EXP reward.

Just from the three dungeon runs, the accumulated EXP was close to 4 million.

This was enough to upgrade a legendary rank skill to max level!

Both of them were somewhat incredulous when they calculated this number.

You have to know.

Wei Donglai had spent an extra year as a social candidate before, farming dungeons of the same level every day to clear Nightmare difficulty.

He also had to go to the wild to farm monsters one or two levels higher than himself.

After a year, he had only barely obtained this much EXP.

And this included the wear and tear of equipment, the continuous consumption of medicine.

As well as the time spent finding suitable monsters every day, and the focus and hard work put into the battle process.

Whether it was economic expenditure or mental exhaustion.

How could it compare to the comfort of happily sitting in a carry group in a dungeon?

Wei Donglai had also heard from his old man.

In order to quickly upgrade skill levels, Sun Yu's family had once spent tens of millions to customize a rare item that added millions of EXP.

And such a thing could only be used once before the second transition.

In other words.

Just from these few dungeon runs, they had already made a huge profit!

Not to mention.

At this speed, they could still run it at least 10 more times today.

Their names on the leaderboard were also gradually rising.

They had a high probability of entering Galaxy Academy.

Praise Zhang Jian!

Wei Donglai and Yan Han clasped their hands together and called out piously in their hearts.
