Wang Xian's face immediately darkened. What did she mean by "why make things difficult for another man"?

He was clearly doing it to improve his monster-killing efficiency!

Come to think of it, this was also Wang Xian's first time landing consecutive critical hits like this.

In his previous life, he had never encountered Goblin-type wild monsters. Moreover, practically no wild monsters were like the Goblin BOSS, exposing their "vital" parts out in the open.

All Wang Xian could say was: serves it right!

"Wow! Uncle, I'm actually level 10! What is Mercy? Is it one of your skills, Uncle?"

Cheng Yao suddenly cried out. Her attention had been focused on Wang Xian's method of killing the BOSS, but once she checked herself, she was shocked to find that she had actually reached level 10.

After checking the Battle Log, she discovered that a special status called Mercy had granted her all the BOSS's experience. That was why she had shot from level 7 straight to level 10 and was even about to reach level 11.

Ignoring Cheng Yao's loud fussing, Wang Xian opened his Battle Log. He had previously turned off some of the less important System Prompt sounds.

"Ding! You killed a level 15 Goblin BOSS. Experience gained received a 10% party bonus. Killing a BOSS 5 levels above you granted a 5% experience bonus. Skill Mercy activated. Talent Sage activated. You ultimately gained 4,050 experience points." "Ding! You have leveled up. Your attributes have increased, and you have gained 5 free attribute points." "Ding! You have reached level 11 and gained 11 free attribute points from the Growth talent." "Ding! You have leveled up. Your attributes have increased, and you have gained 5 free attribute points." "Ding! You have reached level 12 and gained 12 free attribute points from the Growth talent." "Ding! The Soul Drain skill of the BOSS Nemesis title has activated. You gained 0 free attribute points." "Ding! The Evolution skill of the BOSS Nemesis title has activated. Your title has gained 1 Evolution point." "Ding! Congratulations! Your level has entered the Dragon Kingdom Ranking. You are ranked first on the Dragon Kingdom Level Ranking." "Ding! Congratulations! Your level has entered the World Ranking. You are ranked first on the World Level Ranking."

A string of system messages appeared in the Battle Log.

The Sage talent?

Wang Xian paused for a moment before remembering. Every ten levels, he would gain a new talent. Because he had changed into a Priest earlier, he had actually forgotten about gaining a new talent.

Although he had not yet checked the Sage talent's specific attributes, Wang Xian already knew its effect.

Still, Wang Xian opened his Attribute Panel and checked the attributes of his new Sage talent.

Talent: Sage (Mythical Grade) Effect: Experience gained through any method is increased. Current bonus: 12% (increases with level).

Wang Xian: ...

Mercy plus Sage—was this setting him up to completely monopolize first place on the Level Ranking?!

He actually wanted to keep a low profile!

But then again, Mercy and Sage truly paired perfectly with Growth. The first two increased experience gains and allowed him to level up quickly, while Growth was tied to level. The higher his level, the stronger Growth became.

Wang Xian nodded to himself. He was very satisfied with the Sage talent.

"Wow! Uncle, look! It's green equipment!"

At that moment, Cheng Yao dragged an enormous Wolf Fang Club over to Wang Xian with both hands.

This Wolf Fang Club was identical to the one in the Goblin BOSS's hands. There was even a strong chance that it was the very one the Goblin BOSS had used.

Wang Xian took the Giant Wolf Fang Club from Cheng Yao and checked its attributes.

Giant Wolf Fang Club (Green) Weapon: Two-Handed Blunt Weapon Attributes: Physical Attack +50 Strength +7 Trait: Great Strength Great Strength: Strength +3 Level Requirement: 15

They were very good attributes. Among green equipment, it counted as a top-tier weapon.

It was just that its size was rather outrageous. The entire Wolf Fang Club was at least two meters long.

Wang Xian simply could not bring himself to like a weapon like this, so he stored it in his backpack for the time being.

"Yao Yao, is there any other equipment?"

Wang Xian turned toward Cheng Yao, who was continuing to pick up loot.

"There's one more."

"What equipment?"

"See for yourself, Uncle."

Cheng Yao picked up a stick from the side, using it to hook a somewhat tattered piece of animal hide before handing it to Wang Xian with a look of disgust.

Goblin's Beloved Leather Pants (Green) Clothing: Leather Pants Attributes: Physical Defense +60 Magic Defense +40 Level Requirement: 15

Wang Xian: ...

No wonder Cheng Yao looked so disgusted. Even he found it somewhat revolting.

Still, it was green equipment after all. Though it had no trait, its defensive bonuses were very high, nearly reaching the limit for green equipment. It could absolutely be considered a superb piece of green equipment.

Even so, Wang Xian had no desire whatsoever to wear it.

Because the moment he saw those leather pants, he thought of how the Goblin BOSS had looked when it died.

Miserable. Far too miserable!

Better not to stir up that memory.

Wang Xian decisively tossed the animal-hide shorts into his backpack, planning to dump them at a consignment shop or the Auction House when he had the chance.

"Yao Yao, is there anything else?"

Wang Xian walked over to Cheng Yao and asked again.

"No. There's just some money left. Here, Uncle."

As she spoke, Cheng Yao handed all the coins she had picked up to Wang Xian.

Wang Xian counted them. Good heavens, there really was quite a lot—seven Gold Coins and forty-four silver coins in total.

"You don't want any?" Wang Xian looked at Cheng Yao in surprise.

Cheng Yao shook her head. "Uncle, you killed the BOSS by yourself. I didn't contribute much, so I can't take any of this."

"Not bad, kid. You've got a proper moral compass!"

Wang Xian reached out and rubbed Cheng Yao's head, then took out two Gold Coins and stuffed them into her hand.

"Uncle?"

Cheng Yao looked at Wang Xian in confusion.

"It's only two Gold Coins. Keep them for buying potions later." Wang Xian smiled.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Cheng Yao cheered. She had learned the current value of Gold Coins from the Forum.

Those two Gold Coins could be exchanged for at least twenty thousand Dragon Coin. It was not as though she lacked money at all, but why refuse something free?

"All right, you're level 10 now, so don't level up for the moment. Wait until after you change classes. Otherwise, you'll waste some attribute points."

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm."

Cheng Yao nodded furiously.

From now on, she would listen to whatever Uncle said. She had to cling tightly to Uncle's thigh.

A BOSS that dozens or even hundreds of people could not kill had been slain by Uncle alone. She absolutely could not let such a thick thigh get away.

And there was also that Mercy skill. She had already learned its exact effect through the status panel, so she could not let this thigh get away even more.

"Stop standing there. Come over and try the meat roasted by the Goblin BOSS. How does it taste?"

Wang Xian sat beside the campfire and called out to Cheng Yao, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Coming."

Hearing Wang Xian call her, Cheng Yao hurriedly put aside her thoughts and walked toward the campfire. She was also curious—was meat roasted by a BOSS actually any good?

I had barely finished writing a few words when I received another tip!!!
