"No big deal, no matter how many dragons we have to fight, I'll take care of them myself."

Wang Zhifan didn't really care about the mid-aged Beast Tamer man's slight concern.

It's not that he's become arrogant, looking down on these Lv20 dungeon bosses, but because he has always had a clear understanding of his own strength. Even though he is only Lv4 and just a novice by level, his actual strength far surpasses his fellow teammates, who are close to Lv20.

This isn't just his own imagination; it's based on information he gathered from forums where he compared and integrated players' strength statistics.

It's no exaggeration to say that ninety-nine percent of the players have never owned equipment above the Fine Layer, and some unlucky ones may have never even gotten Fine Layer gear. Most players have never even seen, let alone owned, those special rewards from high-difficulty dungeons.

Equipment, or more broadly, dungeon rewards have a nearly decisive effect on a player's growth. Due to unknown reasons, Wang Zhifan can choose his dungeon rewards, allowing him to freely pick the most powerful and suitable items after each dungeon. This makes his growth speed something other players simply can't imagine, skyrocketing like it's out of control.

Therefore, his currently low level due to not being a player for long doesn't really limit his personal strength. Higher player levels do increase strength, but compared to the significant power boost from his chosen rare and exceptional rewards, level increases are just the icing on the cake, not limiting his now monstrous power.

For example, his superb choice of the Epic Layer Biological Force Field ability in the last dungeon, which is powerful enough to cause a qualitative change in most players' strength, leaving most bosses dumbfounded.

After all, its ability to reflect and deflect melee and ranged attacks at or below the level of a Grenade Cannon almost gives a player invincible defense and counter capabilities. Were it not for its energy consumption limits, its evaluation would be more than fittingly Epic Layer or even higher.

In short, Wang Zhifan is very clear that his current strength cannot be measured by mere player levels. He knows he is akin to a glitch among the player community, and he'll only become more of a glitch as he clears more dungeons.

"Do what your strength permits. I used to have obvious weaknesses in my strength, so I needed to keep a low profile to ensure my safety. Now, however, I no longer need to be so conspicuously cautious. As long as I don't provoke the major factions or draw their close attention, living a stable life like Fu isn't too difficult with my current abilities."

As this guiding principle flashed in Wang Zhifan's heart, the mid-aged Beast Tamer and the gunner youth and female blade player beside him showed a bit of astonishment in their eyes after hearing his calm and confident declaration of boss slaying.

It seems they didn't quite understand why this supposedly Lv15 teammate suddenly became so arrogant. Was it just because of that black sniper he just pulled out?

"Hey, was that sniper rifle you just used Rare Layer? Its power was surprisingly great! I never thought a melee class would get such a good firearm. I wish I had that kind of luck."

Quickly dismissing the teammate's earlier arrogant words, the Lv17 player youth with the gunner profession spoke to Wang Zhifan with an envious and slightly jealous tone.

It's a natural situation when a player sees a high-quality weapon for their profession in the hands of another player; there's bound to be a bit of imbalance in their heart.

"Yeah, don't worry, I have a feeling you'll become as lucky as me one day."

Wang Zhifan didn't dislike people who openly express their emotions and thoughts, rather he was more wary of those who hide their intentions, so he immediately raised his hand to pat the teammate's shoulder, offering a bit of encouragement.

"Hey, is your sniper really Rare Layer? From what I've seen before, it seems like there's no such design among Rare Layer snipers."

Still feeding his summoned beast, the mid-aged man in the leather coat looked at Wang Zhifan and chimed in, probably because he was a wealthy player and had seen a lot of Rare Layer good gear firsthand, but didn't recall any with the style of the black sniper Wang Zhifan just took out.

"It's Rare Layer; I just got it recently. Although I'm pretty lucky, I'm not lucky enough to drop stuff of a higher grade yet."

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan lied without blushing or skipping a beat, a necessary form of cover-up.

"Alright, alright, you lucky and wealthy guys, these two battle pets have almost recovered, let's hit the road and not waste time here."

The nearby female blade player saw that her teammates were getting more into the conversation, so she directly interrupted to bring them back to the main topic.

"Indeed... With our lucky pal here, we'll surely clear this dungeon smoothly and might even stumble upon a dragon pet. Let's move out!"

The mid-aged man in the leather coat had indeed nurtured his two summoned beasts to almost complete recovery. After their recent battle, his two summons were quite injured, and full recovery was unrealistic unless they intended to camp on this platform. So he quickly commanded his two treasures, one to lead the way on the ground and the other to scout from the air, guiding them off this platform and onwards along the winding mountain paths.

Matching the results Wang Zhifan observed through the Endless Sniper Scope earlier, they encountered no real enemies on the forthcoming stretch, mostly climbing and traversing, only facing particularly treacherous sections of the path, such as almost vertical slopes and narrow, cliff-side crumbling tracks.

Clearly, these sections were a test of players' abilities to navigate difficult terrains and their state of mind, posing a potentially high difficulty for novice players, but for Wang Zhifan and his companions, who averaged Lv18, it proved almost no obstacle.

With his personal attributes exceeding limits – incredibly high strength, constitution, agility, and Spirit – Wang Zhifan cleared these challenges effortlessly, while the other three players managed through experience and decent personal stats, adeptly handling these troubles.

Among them, the mid-aged Beast Tamer man showcased his cleverness by unsummoning his massive bear pet and having his grand golden eagle carry him over all hurdles, crossing even faster than the high-stat Wang Zhifan.
