This was the second time experiencing such a scene — even the final Boss got one-shot.
Snow Xia was completely numb by now.
She even started to suspect whether the Goblin King was Mark Lin's own son, handing over experience points for free.
Seeing the upgrade glow around Mark Lin, she exclaimed, "You leveled up again? Level 15 already?"
Mark Lin gave a grunt of affirmation — yes, he was indeed level 15.
Snow Xia frowned, her little face sour. She was still 30% away from level 13.
This time, the gap between her and Mark Lin had widened even more.
She really wasn't convinced.
[Killed Goblin King, EXP +25,000]
[Obtained Bronze-Tier weapon: Goblin King's Longsword]
[Obtained low-level monster crystal core]
Seeing the loot notification, Snow Xia sighed, "Too bad it's not a staff."
"You want a staff?" Mark Lin asked.
Snow Xia nodded, "Yeah, the Goblin King's staff — the best weapon for mages before level 20."
"Although I could buy one from the market, I don't want to ask Dad for money."
Suddenly, a black shadow flew toward her, and Snow Xia instinctively reached out and caught it.
[Goblin King's Staff]
That was exactly the staff she wanted.
"I'm giving it to you," Mark Lin said calmly.
Just a staff, nothing special.
Snow Xia froze for a moment, then said slowly, "Thank you."
Then she looked puzzled, "Why don't you use it yourself?"
Mark Lin took out the Goblin King's spellbook. "I use this."
Both spellbooks and staffs are weapons for mages, but most mages choose staffs.
After all, staffs are not only majestic, they can also block and perform simple physical attacks sometimes.
Spellbooks don't have those functions.
In comparison, staffs are more practical.
This was common knowledge, but Snow Xia didn't understand. "But staffs are more practical than spellbooks."
Mark Lin shook his head, "I don't like staffs."
...
That reason left Snow Xia speechless.
It was really just because of that.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Besides, she had never seen Mark Lin actually take out the spellbook before.
"Maybe the slight bonuses from the spellbook just don't catch his eye," Snow Xia thought silently.
Mark Lin didn't know what Snow Xia was thinking. He was checking his upgraded stats.

Finally reaching level 15, Mark Lin felt much more confident about entering Summer Capital Academy.
Level 16 would be even better, but if he couldn't get there, it shouldn't be a big problem.
After reaching level 15, the experience gain slowed again.
Mark Lin had expected to gain around 12%, but only got 8%.
Although there were two of them in a team, so Snow Xia shared part of the experience.
But it was indeed much slower.
He did some mental calculations.
Snow Xia's basic cooldown amulet still allowed them to clear three rounds of the dungeon consecutively.
At his speed, three rounds would take about half an hour.
There would be two natural cooldown periods afterward.
That meant they could probably run the dungeon five times in total.
Of course, the last two runs would definitely have to include Snow Xia.
Since he brought her at the start, Mark Lin wouldn't just leave her out later.
"Five runs as a duo should be enough for me to reach level 16," he said calmly while looking at the fallen Goblin King.
"Sorry, might have to kill you five more times."
Snow Xia was surprised to see Mark Lin talking to the Goblin King.
"Why are you talking to the Boss? It can't understand you."
Mark Lin replied softly, "I just want to say it. Whether it understands or not doesn't matter."
Snow Xia was even more puzzled, "Then why say it at all?"
Mark Lin didn't answer.
For some reason, Snow Xia, thinking about Mark Lin apologizing to the Boss just now, suddenly found him somewhat cute.
Who would seriously apologize to a Boss?
Dungeons exist to be farmed.
Bosses exist to be killed.
Those high-level dungeon Bosses might get killed countless times, but just as many adventurers die at their hands.
What was there to be sorry about?
"What a weirdo, but also a bit cute," Snow Xia suddenly laughed aloud.
Mark Lin gave her a weird look. "Go outside, let's continue."
"Okay, let's continue."
