BXBX NOVEL Chapter V1C19
For the time being, we bought rations and potions from the general store before heading to the labyrinth.
“By the way, how many labyrinth does this town have?”
“Yes, there’s the Beginner Labyrinth, Intermediate Labyrinth, and Advanced Labyrinth. If it’s us, I believe we can sufficiently pass through the Intermediate Labyrinth.”
“Then, shall we go to the Intermediate Labyrinth?”
With kobolds as opponents, it would soon be too difficult to level up.
“No, I believe it is better if master clears the Beginner Labyrinth first. There is a boss room on the 10th floor of the Beginner Labyrinth and all members of the party who defeats the boss for the first time will obtain benefits.”
Labyrinth clear bonus huh. It really feels like a game.
“Haru, have you defeated the boss before?”
“Yes. When I defeated it, I obtained the skill 「Speed Increase (Minor)」”
“Oh, so I can get skills. Let’s do that then.”
We headed for the Beginner Labyrinth that we dived into just yesterday.
Before that, my job has changed drastically so I checked my status first.
“Status open.”

Yup, compared to when I just began, it’s like the moon and a soft-shelled turtle, a world of difference.
“By the way, I’m curious about Haru’s status.”
“You can just view it?”
“Eh? Other people’s status can be easily seen?”

Uwa, so strong.
She falls short of me with my 「Job Setting」 skill but she’s way stronger than I was before I killed that 2 thieves.
“So there’s a job called a Beast Swordsman.”
“Beast Swordsman is a higher job only available to Swordsmen that are also beastmen. However, only a Beastman Priest can change my job for me so I won’t be able to become a Beast Swordsman. Since there are but a few Beastman Priest in the world.”
Oh, I see … Can’t my 「Job Modification」 skill do it?

Ah, I can easily do it.
Seems like I can modify the job of my companions. So the magic attack of a Beast Swordsman is 0. In exchange, they have an amazing 110 speed even at Lv1.
So it doesn’t seem like she lied about it being a higher job.
I wonder if I can modify the job of those who are not my companions as well … I’ll have to try it next time. If it’s possible, the battle with the Pugilist would be a breeze, no, I would be invincible in PvP.
“Haru, shall we raise your Beast Swordsman level?”
“I would like to do so if it’s possible.”
“I see, then, please promise me that you will not scream out in shock and check your status.”
Seeing is believing.
Without even making a puzzled face, Haru did as she was told and called out status open.
When she did that, as expected even the poker-faced Haru also had her eyes wide open.
“Master, this…”
“Well, think of it as my special ability. Still, it’s rather unusual right?”
” … Normally, job modification can only be carried out by a Priest and only in a holy land. I’ve never heard of a skill that can change job in an instant outside a holy land.”
“In other words, it’s better that nobody else knows about this skill.”
“Yes, there’s a possibility that you would be exploited.”
I fell into deep thought. If a person commits a great crime, they would be converted into a Thief, Bandit or Pirate job and would not be able to enter the town with regular means.
We still do not know how the thieves and bandit entered the labyrinth within the town.
However, using my skill, I can return them to a job apart from the criminal jobs of Thief and Bandit.
“I have other things that I have not told Haru but we’ll leave that for after the labyrinth.”
“I understand. Also, master, I am terribly sorry but at Lv1, I am not able to fully display my strength. Could we set it such that the monster subjugation experience points are equally split among us for a while?”
“The proportion of experience points?”
“Yes. I previously mentioned that, normally, when a monster is defeated, the person who deals the final blow will get the experience points. However, in a party setting, the party leader can decide on the allocation of the experience points. There are 2 types, the person who deals the final blow takes all, or takes 50% and the other party members equally split the remaining 50%.”
Ah, it’s true that within Haru’s status there was the 「Leader」 title and the 「Experience Point Distribution」 skill. So it’s a skill that is obtained via title?
“In other words, if I defeat a goblin and obtains 10 experience points, it will be split into 5 and 5?”
I don’t actually know that goblins give 10 experience points. It’s just an example.
“No, in that scenario, master will first receive 5 experience points and of the remaining 5, 2.5 will go to master and 2.5 will go to me.”
I don’t know if experience points can be split below 1 but so that’s how it works.
In other words, for the equal split system, the person who defeats the monster gets 3/4 and the other person gets 1/4.
“I see … Hmm~ In exchange, I want to defeat the monsters from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor. I believe I will be able to defeat them with a single attack. Is that alright?”
“Yes, of course. I believe the current master can defeat all the monsters with a single hit.”
Author’s Note:
The difference between 20x experience point acquisition and 1/20 required experience points.
They seem the same but are completely different, I believe everyone know by now.
(TL: In other words, if he defeats the monsters, taking his scenario for example, instead of 10 exp he gets 200 exp, he takes 150 exp and Haru takes 50 exp. So his cheat works on his party members as well in a way. Interesting way the author took into account for the MC’s companions.)
