Lu Ran took a look.
He immediately widened his eyes and said, "Is this... a Platinum Team Contract? Using one for a single dungeon run? Isn't that way too wasteful!"
In the auction house, the Platinum Team Contract is the highest level contract that reduces team experience penalties.
It can reduce the team experience penalty by 80%!
It also has additional attributes, increasing the dungeon output probability by 20%, whether it's equipment or money.
But this hardly makes up for the price of the Platinum Team Contract.
In the auction house, it's 500,000 a piece!
This is not something common people would use, using one for a dungeon run costs 500,000, it's simply extravagant!
Usually, it's used by high combat professionals to farm high-level, high-difficulty dungeons and improve the drop rate for top-notch equipment.
"To help you level up faster, this is nothing," said Ye Hongyi.
"Well... alright then." Lu Ran felt flattered and, gritting his teeth, used the Platinum Team Contract.
Then, in Ye Hongyi's other hand, a magic staff burning with blazing flames and scorching heat appeared.
Even the casual clothes on her body were replaced at the same time to show her equipment.
A fire-colored magic robe, paired with the staff and her long fiery red hair, along with Ye Hongyi's perfect figure and delicate face, she looked just like a Flame Queen!
Lei Tai was unwilling to be outdone and stamped his feet on the ground.
Bang!
A set of black heavy armor suddenly appeared, along with two large shields as enormous as door panels, held in each hand, making Lei Tai look like an indestructible black fortress!
Liu Xinxin was much quieter.
Facing Lu Ran's curious gaze, she smiled gently.
A translucent green, gauze-like magic robe appeared on her, and her magic staff wasn't so exaggerated—it was a vine-like wooden staff, but the gem embedded at the top, with its eye-catching glow, was certainly valuable!
Lu Ran had no idea that the three sets of equipment these three displayed.
Almost dominated the top thirty of the equipment rankings in Huaxia!
Lu Ran felt a rush of excitement, unwilling to be outdone, and showed off his own equipment.
But in comparison, his grayish Frost Wolf Magic Robe, tree trunk-like Frost Wolf Magic Staff, and other unattractive pieces were utterly shabby!
Lu Ran scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Let's start then, actually, I could use Skeleton Soldiers and Infinite Corpse Explosion myself to farm."
And there wouldn't be any experience penalty!
Ye Hongyi waved her hand and said, "You farming alone is too slow."
After saying this, she stepped forward, looking into the wide passage of the Death Mine filled with countless goblins.
She casually waved her staff forward.
Boom!
A giant fireball rolled over, covering the entire passage, pushing forward with rumbling sounds.
Wherever it went, every rowdy goblin it touched exploded on the spot, turning into black ash that scattered down.
"This is a bit dull, I won't wait here, I'll go ahead first!" Seeing Ye Hongyi push forward effortlessly, Lei Tai, feeling eager, said impatiently.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Bang!
He jumped out like a cannonball.
Thud thud thud~
Holding up his shields, he trampled the ground like a human tank, charging straight at the goblins ahead!
[Team killed Throwing Goblin, gained 320 experience!]
[Team killed Self-Destructing Goblin, gained 280 experience!]
[Team killed Goblin Mage, gained 360 experience!]
[Team killed Self-Destructing Goblin, gained 280 experience!]
...
The experience notifications flooded the screen, making Lu Ran click his tongue in amazement. This speed was indeed much faster than his Skeleton Soldier Corpse Explosion!
Especially Ye Hongyi, her wide-range Karmic Fire skill could clear out a large section of the passage in an instant!
Lei Tai was also having a great time in this level 10 abyss difficulty dungeon.
"Let's follow them, see if you need to pick up the coins and those tattered equipment along the way," Liu Xinxin said to Lu Ran.
Of course, pick them up!
Wasting is shameful!
So, throughout this dungeon, Lu Ran couldn't participate at all, just following along, picking up equipment and gold coins.
Although Liu Xinxin referred to this equipment as trash.
In this abyss difficulty, the worst drops were blue equipment, with quite a few purple rare ones, and sometimes even golden legendary equipment!
This is all money!
Meanwhile, Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao's experience bars kept visibly soaring at an incredible speed!
Liu Xinxin looked up at Ye Hongyi, who was blasting away at the Death Mine, and Lei Tai, who had charged off to who knows where.
She casually waved her staff.
A green circle of light spread out from the spot.
Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao immediately felt a burst in their movement speed!
"Wind Whisper, you can run faster," Liu Xinxin explained.
With that, Lu Ran was running all over, sometimes even not having time to pick up the equipment.
When he finally reached the BOSS area.
He saw a large area covered in Karmic Fire, the four Blastfire Goblins inside didn't even have time to use their combo skills before dropping dead where they stood.
[Team killed BOSS Blastfire Goblin, gained 2000 experience!]
[Team killed BOSS Blastfire Goblin, gained 2000 experience!]
[Team killed BOSS Blastfire Goblin, gained 2000 experience!]
[Team killed BOSS Blastfire Goblin, gained 2000 experience!]
...
The final BOSS gave four instances of experience, totaling 8,000 points!
And the total time taken was less than fifteen minutes!
Most of it was spent running!
"Pick up the equipment, onto the next run," Ye Hongyi said casually.
The four Blastfire Goblins dropped three purple pieces and one golden piece of equipment.
Lu Ran didn't even have time to check the equipment attributes, swiftly collecting everything.
Then he immediately restarted as the party leader.
Over and over again.
Only stopping for lunch before continuing the routine.
Though it was dull, the three guild leaders, thinking of the looming national war, dared not stop for a moment!
By 7 p.m., Lu Ran had already reached level 13 with more than half of his experience bar filled.
Qin Wuyao, needing much less experience to level up, had gained four levels, reaching level 11!
This speed was simply outrageous!
"At this rate, Lu Ran should reach level 15 tomorrow," Liu Xinxin analyzed.
"I'm looking forward to it! I wonder what entry Lu Ran will unlock upon reaching level 15?" Lei Tai exclaimed excitedly.
But no one could guess.
After all, no entry like this had ever been discovered on any professional!
But whatever it was, it would undoubtedly provide a tremendous boost to Lu Ran!
With this, they ended their session for the day and exited the dungeon.
"Lu Ran, you should just move out of your rented place in the outer city; it's not a good environment and unsafe, stay at the Celestial Path Alliance," Liu Xinxin suggested.
"Staying at my house is fine too!" Qin Wuyao quickly added.
But Lei Tai motioned mysteriously.
"The Qin Family isn't convenient, and coming in and out of the Celestial Path Alliance isn't ideal for Lu Ran either, come with me," he said.
Leading the way to the main street nearby.
In one of the alleys, Lei Tai stopped.
Everyone turned to see a grand mansion in the most central area of the inner city, with a broad entrance and excellent location.
Lei Tai patted Lu Ran on the shoulder.
"Bro, it's not that I'm stingy, but I specialize in heavy armor and don't have much good equipment for you, so during the day while we were farming dungeons, I arranged for someone to buy this house in your name, Lu Ran, this is your new home."
What?
Lu Ran's eyes nearly popped out.
Staring at the dreamlike mansion, Lu Ran was dumbfounded.
Wow, leaning on the nation, these benefits are too lavish!
"By the way, Lu Ran, I forgot to ask, with all the dungeons you've done today, how much casting range has your Sea of All Rivers entry accumulated?" Ye Hongyi asked with a laugh, glancing at Lei Tai before casually inquiring about Lu Ran's entry.
