Chapter 5 - The beautiful teacher leads the training. It feels like flying!

Chapter 5: The beautiful teacher leads the training. It feels like flying!  In a primary dungeon in Anyang City, Zhao Xing stood in front of a lifeless body. Not far away, the illumination from the water spell in Guan Ya’s hand diminished. A stream of radiance surged into Zhao Xing’s form from the armored porcupine’s remains. Then, he received a notification.

[Your comrade vanquished the armored porcupine. Due to the ‘cooperation contract,’ this killing experience is exclusively yours! You’ve earned 341 experience points.].[Congratulations! You’ve reached level 8!].

“Sister Ya, I’ve hit level 8!” Zhao Xing exclaimed, looking at Guan Ya with excitement. The only word to describe what he felt was: exhilarating! Such a refreshing sensation!

Since Yang Tianming had explained the ropes, Guan Ya, a level 24 water element master, guided him through leveling up in the dungeon. Zhao Xing didn’t have to lift a finger, just stand by and watch his level ascend. It had only been an hour since entering the dungeon, and he was already at level 8! It felt incredibly satisfying!

Guan Ya, however, wasn’t as thrilled. Rather, she seemed somewhat dissatisfied. “It’s only level 8. It seems that even with a special contract, you still can’t escape the unique experience penalty rules of the dungeon. I thought you’d reach level 10 before dusk.”

A special contract referred to contract-type items, exceedingly rare drops in dungeons of level 40 or higher. Only dungeons above level 50 could reliably yield them, but they were scarce. The team contract was one such item, designed to create a team with customizable terms like non-harm agreements, loot distribution, and experience points sharing.

This time, Guan Ya procured a [team formation contract] from the school. Its terms were simple: all monster-killing experiences belonged to Zhao Xing. The experience penalty mentioned by Guan Ya was a fixed dungeon rule. When a team formation occurred, and one member’s level was too high, the entire team would be subject to an [Experience Penalty], resulting in reduced experience points gained from hunting monsters.

The armored porcupine belonged to a level 15 dungeon, allowing professionals with a maximum level of 30 to enter. However, if someone with a level above 20 joined, everyone would experience varying degrees of [Experience Penalty], and in extreme cases, no items or experience would be granted.

Guan Ya currently suffers from this penalty. Each time she slew a porcupine, she gained neither experience nor items. However, the [Experience Penalty] Zhao Xing faced was relatively minor, allowing him to accumulate significant experience.

“Even with dungeon experience penalties, this progress is remarkably swift,” Zhao Xing remarked.

“By the way, Sister Ya’s spell proficiency must be very high. That level 15 armored porcupine is an instant kill in front of you.”

Upon receiving Zhao Xing’s praise, Guan Ya, feeling a bit bashful, responded, “Actually, my skill proficiency isn’t very high. However, the purple elite suit [Heavenly Armor] provided by the school’s logistics department enhances water spells significantly.”

“Not only can I instantly kill a level 15 monster, but even a level 30 monster falls at my hands without a struggle,” declared Zhao Xing.

He was astonished when he heard about the “Heavenly Armor set.”

“Wow, Sister Ya, is that Heavenly Armor set really worth 2 million yuan?”

“Wow, Sister Ya, you’re really wealthy. I didn’t expect you to be so well-off!” Zhao Xing couldn’t contain his excitement. This item was considered a low-level artifact!

Equipment grades: white (common), blue (advanced), purple (rare), red (king), orange (legendary), gold (artifact). The chance of armor being produced in a low-level dungeon was one in ten thousand, and only purple armor could be complete. With it, one could practically sweep dungeons of the same level – a true leveling artifact. Due to its substantial help in the early stages and extreme rarity, it was purchased at a sky-high price by the affluent.

“Yes, it’s the set, but it’s not as expensive as you think,” Guan Ya explained. “After all, there’s a difference between the national procurement price and the market price. Plus, it’s not even my own.”

Explaining further, she said, “Because you meet the requirements for special talents, the headmaster specially approved this set of equipment from the post-production department for me to use. I don’t have that much money to buy it myself.”

Zhao Xing waved his hand confidently and declared, “It’s okay. I’ll give it to Sister Ya when I get rich in the future! No, I’ll even send a more beautiful set to Sister Ya!”

Listening to the bold words and ambitious plans of the student, Guan Ya smiled with her eyes turning into crescent moons. “Okay, then I’ll wait. Let’s continue leveling up and aim for level 10 before dark.”

The leveling process wasn’t exceptionally fast, but with the special contract, Guan Ya faced lower-level monsters. The Heavenly Armor significantly boosted her combat effectiveness, making the fights swift and easy. The majority of the time was spent on traveling and finding monsters, with actual combat being brief.

Unbeknownst to them, the sky gradually darkened, and a full moon hung above the branches, casting its light on the ground. Simultaneously, a notification sounded in the minds of Guan Ya and Zhao Xing.

[As night falls, the attributes of all non-demonic occupations are reduced by 5%. The attribute of demon class is increased by 5%.].[The vision of demon-type occupations is increased by 100%, and the vision of non-demon-type occupations is weakened.].

“It’s getting dark,” Guan Ya observed, looking at the sky. “It’ll be a bit risky to continue fighting. Zhao Xing, are you level 10?”

“Just a bit more,” Zhao Xing replied, checking his panel.

[Name: Zhao Xing].[Occupation: Enchanter (Apprentice)].[Level: Level 9 (88%)].[Power: 50].[Physical strength: 50].[Speed: 19].[Spirit: 180].[Equipment: None].[Skill 1: Simple Enchanting: You can enchant an item to increase the original attributes of the target slightly. This effect lasts for a while.].[Talent 1: Multiple Amplification (Level 1), when you perform enchantment, you will get a 10-fold amplification effect! If it is a temporary enchantment, the duration will also increase by 10 times.].[Talent 2: Original Blessing (Level 1), when you perform enchanting, it will be 100% successful, and there is a certain chance that powerful special effects will appear! Including but not limited to (attribute boost, skill boost, rule boost, conceptual boost)].

Zhao Xing was still 12% away from reaching level 10 as a junior enchanter. From an attribute perspective, the fixed bonus of strength and stamina was 5 points for every level up, speed increased by only 1 point per level, and spiritual power went up by 20 points per level. Compared with the main battle profession, auxiliary occupations had fewer ways to obtain attribute points.

Though auxiliary occupations were weaker in combat effectiveness, Zhao Xing had no complaints. Real-world professions were rarely balanced and fair. Moreover, enchanters weren’t renowned for their combat prowess. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“It’s still close, so we’ll come back tomorrow,” regretfully stated Guan Ya. She didn’t want to risk Zhao Xing’s safety in the dark.

“Then we’ll come back tomorrow,” Zhao Xing agreed, looking forward to reaching level 10 and learning more about enchanting. As he approached level 10, he wondered if there would be any new improvements in his talents.
