Hearing Sylvie's smug little "credit-claiming," Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
But… he didn't argue with her.
Instead, he chuckled and said, "Impressive! Go pick them up and see what dropped?"
The elf girl happily skipped over.
Soon, she came back holding a piece of equipment and a skill book.
"Strange… This is a Bronze-tier dungeon. How did a Silver-tier item drop?"
Her delicate, beautiful face showed confusion, her pointed ears twitching slightly.
"Because you're lucky. Keep it up!"
Chen Yang encouraged her.
"…"
Sylvie felt something about his words was off. But she didn't think too deeply about it.
She returned and handed the two drops over to Chen Yang.
——
[Sheepskin Magic Gloves: Cloth Armor, for magic classes. Physical Defense +12, Spell Defense +22, Spell Attack +19, Spirit +13. Level Requirement: 1]
[Chain Lightning: Mage Skill Book. Level Requirement: 1]
——
"As expected, Silver gear really dropped."
"This god-tier looting aura is the real deal."
Of course, Chen Yang didn't care much. These were just starter pieces that would be replaced quickly anyway.
The Chain Lightning book was useless to him for now.
He tossed the Sheepskin Magic Gloves to Sylvie, then led her onward.
Less than ten minutes later…
Using the same routine, they cleared another four or five waves—over twenty mobs in total—and finally arrived outside the chamber of the first mini-Boss: the Goblin Warrior!
By now, Sylvie was seriously doubting herself.
Because she had noticed—along the way, every single wave of mobs dropped gear or skill books!
If she chalked it up to her luck… this luck was absurd!
So absurd, it felt like it was draining her lifespan. Completely unscientific!
Seeing Chen Yang's faint, knowing smile…
how could she not realize that the goblins' insane drop rate was all thanks to him?
"Hmph! I'm so mad I could explode!"
"Human, are you laughing at me?"
She planted her hands on her hips angrily.
"No."
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "You're a noble elf princess. How could I dare laugh at you?"
"You're mocking me again!!"
Sylvie pouted unhappily.
If it weren't for being inside the dungeon, she'd definitely fight him right here and now.
This man was way too mean to elves!
"Alright, alright."
Chen Yang smiled, patted her shoulder comfortingly, then said: "Go learn this skill book—we're getting ready for the Boss."
——
[Exorcism Light: Priest Skill Book. Fires a beam of exorcising light at the enemy, dealing moderate damage.]
——
This was dropped by the last wave of mobs.
Once she learned it and swapped into half a set of priest gear, Sylvie's damage output instantly tripled compared to when she first entered the dungeon!
Even without Chen Yang's aura, her damage was now far beyond that of other new Job Changerrs.
It was worth mentioning—no matter how wealthy other people were, even if they bought a set of top-tier equipment at the start, they still couldn't use it right away.
In the Era of Job Changer, equipment and skill books bought from others required high Exorcism Value to equip or use—unless they were white gear or starting skills.
And Exorcism Value could only be gained by slaying monsters in secret realms and dungeons.
In other words, even if you bought godly equipment, you still had to grind enough monsters before you could wear it.
By contrast, self-looted equipment and skill books had no such restriction.
So right now—
Whether in gear or skills, Sylvie was already ahead of her entire generation of new Job Changerrs.
Not to mention, she still had Chen Yang's God-tier Aura buffs backing her!
At this moment, after Sylvie learned Exorcism Light, her pointed ears twitched as she peeked her little elf head cautiously past the stone door.
She looked at the Goblin Warrior, snoring loudly in its chamber, and whispered nervously:
"Even with this skill… and the Rapid Growth (God-tier Aura)… it'll still take four or five Exorcism Lights to bring down that Boss…"
"The Boss's attacks are really strong too! Can we even withstand them?"
Sensing her unease, Chen Yang didn't mind. He simply patted her shoulder again and said:
"Don't worry. Just go for it—I've got a way."
Because as she had said—
dungeon Bosses always had more skills and hit far harder.
With no tank class between them, it would be tough to endure.
But…
Chen Yang had a specific aura just for Bosses!
——
[Frost Erosion (God-tier Aura): Reduces the speed of all enemies within 10,000 meters by 90%. (Full effect applies to Bosses!)]
——
Unlike other Job Changerrs' auras—
Chen Yang's God-tier Auras had one defining feature: their effects always applied fully to Bosses!
