Qin Chen stared with his mouth wide open as he watched the torrent of system notifications refreshing across his data panel.
Good grief, he never expected the EXP reward for clearing a Calamity-grade dungeon to be so generous.
It directly boosted his level by two in a row.
He had entered the dungeon at Level 1, and by the time he finished, he was already Level 5.
This was truly rocket-like leveling speed.
Simply too fast.
Now was the time to take stock of his gains.
Qin Chen happily examined the equipment and items he had obtained.
[Weapon Enhancement Scroll +1] (Consumable): Has a 30% chance to enhance the weapon it is used on, increasing its attribute values.
[Boots of Swiftness] (Purple Grade)
Increases speed attribute by 20 points, grants the wearer a special effect, and increases running speed by 30%.
(Flavor text: Nothing special, I just run fast. If I can't beat you, can't I outrun you?)
[Calamity Witness] (Special Item)
Awarded to the brave warrior who first clears a Calamity-grade dungeon. Strength +10, Intelligence +10, Stamina +10, Spirit +10, Speed +10.
(Flavor text: Congratulations on becoming a witness to the calamity, having realized the cruelty of racial warfare. Now, please pick up your weapon, abandon your illusions, and begin to fight.)
Qin Chen's face was filled with astonishment as he looked at the equipment and items he had obtained.
He never expected a purple drop.
Equipment grades are generally divided into White (Common), Blue (Advanced), Purple (Rare), Orange (Epic), and finally, Golden (Legendary).
True to its nature as a Calamity-grade dungeon, the Boss's rewards were exceptionally generous, directly yielding a Purple Rare item.
Unable to wait any longer, Qin Chen immediately equipped the Boots of Swiftness and instantly felt his footsteps become much lighter.
He took a test run, his body immediately transforming into a wisp of residual wind as his speed became extremely fast.
A trace of excitement welled up inside Qin Chen.
The very last shortcoming in his build had now been patched up.
Previously, although he had great defense and high output, his only flaw was a lack of agility; he could dodge very few of the monsters' attacks.
Therefore, he had no choice but to rely on his physical body to take blows head-on.
Now, with the Boots of Swiftness, he could easily dodge all kinds of monster attacks.
He even felt confident that if he faced a clumsy Abyss Boss like the Big-Headed Baby again, it would never be able to hit him even once.
He could easily use his footwork to wear the enemy down to death.
Qin Chen was extremely satisfied.
He directly equipped the [Calamity Witness] and put away the [Weapon Enhancement Scroll], planning to use it later once he found a suitable weapon and equipment.
Then, Qin Chen looked down at the Intern Staff in his hand, which had long since become worn and tattered from the previous battles.
[Intern Staff (White Grade)]
(A favorite staff among novice mages, it is severely damaged; please repair it as soon as possible.)
It seemed he had to find a way to get a new weapon; this Intern Staff was simply not durable enough, breaking shortly after he started using it.
Qin Chen immediately made up his mind.
Now!
Next came the tense and thrilling gacha session.
Following his usual routine, Qin Chen tidied up his various items, then excitedly rubbed his hands together.
He wondered what useful Golden Traits he could pull this time.
Having gained two consecutive level-ups, he had two chances to draw Golden Traits.
Without much hesitation, Qin Chen directly initiated the draw.
[Draw a Golden Trait?]
[Confirm!]
A diffuse golden light instantly enveloped Qin Chen, and countless golden traits joyfully swirled around his body.
Qin Chen reached out and grabbed at the golden traits circling him.
[Ding!]
[Drawn Golden Trait: Martial Arts Grandmaster]
[Drawn Golden Trait: Extreme Luck]
[Martial Arts Grandmaster]: Inheritor of traditional martial arts, automatically comprehends grandmaster-level attack techniques for various traditional martial arts. Close-combat capability +100%, martial arts comprehension +100%.
(Flavor text: How dare you not take me, Ventai of the Rushing Thunder Hand, seriously?)
[Extreme Luck]: Favored by the Goddess of Fortune, personal luck attribute +100%.
(Flavor text: It's nothing, just good luck, don't mind it.)
Qin Chen's expression turned somewhat peculiar as he read the description of the [Martial Arts Grandmaster] Golden Trait.
For a mage, why did he always keep drawing these close-combat-type golden talents?
Besides, why would a mage need to learn martial arts?
Why did it always feel so improper?
Couldn't he draw some exclusive mage talents and become an enviable true mage?
Qin Chen sighed.
Oh well!
A Melee Mage is still a mage, they're all the same, just a little tankier, that's all.
Qin Chen consoled himself.
However, the [Extreme Luck] talent left Qin Chen somewhat baffled.
Personal luck attribute +100%?
Yet Qin Chen checked his body and looked at his data panel, without feeling any changes in himself at all.
Could it be that the Goddess of Fortune hadn't woken up yet?
Qin Chen muttered to himself involuntarily.
Whatever, no use dwelling on it.
Entering the Calamity-grade dungeon this time had made him absolutely filthy rich.
A smile of uncontainable joy spread across Qin Chen's face.
Levels, equipment, and items—he had acquired them all, instantly striking it rich.
Right!
Qin Chen slapped his forehead.
There was still 1 million waiting for him to collect outside the dungeon entrance.
In a rush of eager anticipation, Qin Chen prepared to leave the dungeon.
......
Outside the dungeon.
Zhou Tianqi stared with a pale face at the dungeon entrance.
He was utterly dumbfounded.
Why hadn't Qin Chen come out yet?
A frail mage like him, by what right was he coming out later than him?
At this moment, the onlookers around were also whispering among themselves, casting glances mixed with pity and ridicule at Zhou Tianqi's battered appearance.
"I never expected Zhou Tianqi to be the first one out."
"You said it, I wouldn't dare believe it if you beat me to death."
"It's been almost twenty minutes, I never thought Qin Chen could hold out for so long."
"Could that kid be cheating?"
"It's the first time anyone has lasted this long in a Calamity-grade dungeon, this is big news!"
Outside the dungeon gates, more and more people had gathered, excitedly watching the commotion.
They had actually blocked the entire dungeon entrance completely solid.
The teams that had originally wanted to enter the dungeon for trials had also stopped at this moment, putting on expressions of spectators enjoying a show.
After all, dungeons could be entered at any time, but a spectacle like this, once missed, was gone for good.
The abnormal situation here finally caught the attention of the dungeon's enforcement teachers.
The enforcement teacher guarding the dungeon entrance, seeing the crowd packed tightly around the gates, thought a major disaster had occurred in the dungeon and hurried over.
He was already breaking out in a cold sweat of anxiety.
This dungeon was currently under his jurisdiction; if anything went wrong, he would inevitably be dragged out for public criticism.
He still wanted to retire and collect his pension, so naturally, he didn't want any accidents to happen.
After a short while, the enforcement teacher finally ran to the dungeon entrance, but the outside was already crammed with people.
He couldn't squeeze through at all, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
"What on earth is happening, why have so many people gathered? If the head of discipline sees this, I'm finished!"
The enforcement teacher's heart was filled with urgency.
Just at that moment.
A burst of red light suddenly erupted from the deep interior of the dungeon, instantly spreading in all directions, blindingly bright.
Immediately following that, the huge light screen in front of the dungeon entrance underwent a change.
An extremely exaggerated announcement abruptly appeared:
[Congratulations to Qin Chen, a student of Class 1, Grade 3, for clearing the Calamity-grade dungeon difficulty for the first time]
[This announcement is hereby made in celebration!]
The two golden characters "Qin Chen" on the dungeon light screen were extremely eye-catching, instantly drawing everyone's gaze.
The entire scene fell into dead silence, as if time had frozen in place.
Everyone stood rooted to the spot in a daze.
