Yeager advanced the progress of mysticism, Naxi conducted the fifth-level trial of weird knowledge, Kiruait and Margaret successively upgraded their majors to level 6, all for the No. 39 serial potion——
"When we reach level 6, we can take on more advanced team missions, earn more credits and team points to exchange for materials to redeem Potion No. 39."
——And the plan after getting the potion.
"After getting the potion, we can enter the newly discovered dungeon and obtain precious treasures." Kiruait told Lu Li without any secret.
Dungeon, a term used in fantasy story books.
This noun that usually appears in stories was borrowed by Giant Tree Academy and given new meaning.
The old sewers are divided into main lines, branch lines and hidden lines.
Dark lines are exclusive to weird ones, either connecting branch lines to the main line, or almost closed independent caves.
The earth can hide everything.
The swamp lies between the roots of giant trees and old sewers.
Because of the three-dimensional shape of the old sewers, dark lines like branches of trees, branches of branches, and leaves growing on the branches can be seen everywhere.
When Giant Tree Academy discovers them, they will be graded. If they are too dangerous, they will be cleaned or weakened until they are suitable for a certain difficulty, and then traces and treasures will be left behind to allow academy students to explore freely.
At this time, the hidden line will become a [dungeon].
Despite this, dungeons are only suitable for upper-level adventures. Even the simplest dungeons for middle-level students are a challenge that may attenuate the number of students.
Only the team at the top of the leaderboard can explore the dungeon as harmlessly as possible.
The Light Team accidentally discovered this undiscovered dungeon. Before selling the location to the top teams or seniors, Margaret found a way to sneak into the dungeon.
And this requires the assistance of Potion No. 39.
Calming Forest: It can make the person who takes it as unobtrusive as a tree.
After taking the potion, Margaret will be able to sneak into the dungeon and take out the treasure without being noticed by the strange people.
"What is the treasure?"
"Anything is possible. Homologues, weird eggs, serial potions... some are placed inside by the academy, and some are owned by the dungeon weirdness itself. But the treasures in the lowest level dungeon are more valuable than the No. 39 serial potion!"
"What's more important is the academy rating after completing the dungeon!" Kiruait left her seat and sat back on her bed: "According to the difficulty and performance of the dungeon, the academy will give credits and team points, as well as other rewards."
The indifferent Margaret continued: "Including but not limited to homologous objects, sacrifices, qualifications to enter restricted areas, and qualifications to enter cursed title acquisition areas."
The last item really caught Lu Li's attention.
Lu Li summoned the businessman Anthony and asked him to give priority to purchasing the serial number 39 potion.
"Allow premium."
Although shillings are the universal currency, human society and old sewers prefer to use weird currency or other serial potions as superior currency.
After all, due to its preciousness, serial potions can be used as valuable currency, such as gold in the old days. Weird currencies are even circulated among weirdos.
The "contribution points" of merchants can also be counted as currency. However, the number of merchants and the scale of trade are limited and difficult to expand.
After the businessman Anthony left, Lu Li asked about switching from the team to the middle grade.
In addition to the already known rankings, dungeons, teams, and team points, Lu Li learned more about the rules of the middle grade.
For example, courses that take up the entire day in the lower grades are compressed to only three days a week in the middle grades.
In fact, the main task of middle-grade professors is no longer to impart knowledge, but to serve as referees to maintain order and lay the foundation for the "mentor system" of senior grades.
Lu Li's first class will be in three days. During this time, Kiruait and Yeager will help Lu Li get familiar with the middle grade environment and rules.
The bookshelf was placed against the wall, and Lu Li's luggage was delivered to his bed by the attentive Kiruaite - located in the deepest and safest corner of the lounge.
If encountering foreign enemies, Lu Li's bed would be the last place to be attacked.
The one who slept here before Lu Li arrived was Margaret. She refused Lu Li's refusal and moved her cauldron alchemy materials and bedding to the second to last bed.
Although the lounge is spacious enough and even has a fireplace and surrounding seating area, there is no room divider and the curtains next to the bed frame are the only thing blocking privacy.
All five beds of the Holy Light Team have been occupied. The space in the lounge is enough to place a new bed after Fodort joins the team as a substitute.
Later, Lu Li met the last member of the team: Nav.
Naf, who regretted failing the trial, washed away all his worries when Lu Li arrived, and even prepared a sumptuous late-night dinner in the lounge.
Margaret's alchemy hanging pot was boiling with the aroma of broth. The five people gathered around the hanging pot and the fireplace, listening and telling their own stories, and then fell asleep with anticipation.
"Morning" comes.
Normally, the Holy Light Team would select a mission to perform at this time. After completing it, they would return to the lounge to rest and recuperate, and then select a mission again. Repeat this process to accumulate strength, experience, and team points.
However, due to the appearance of the dungeon and Lu Li, the team members waiting for the serial number 39 potion became idle.
The same goes for Lu Li. The arrival of the controller was delayed. Professor Chris sent news that they were hunting a "big guy" to surprise Lu Li.
That night, businessman Anthony brought back potion No. 39 at a certain premium.
Lu Li ordered merchants to stock up on strange currencies to facilitate subsequent trade and planning.
The shilling in the Weird Age declined. It was used more to purchase basic resources than mysterious resources. The core of the gold standard that had the shilling as a pegged contribution point was obviously not as good as the weird currency.
The person responsible for taking potion No. 39 and sneaking into the dungeon will be Margaret.
"Margaret is relatively slow..." Kiruait changed his words under the sudden cold gaze: "I mean lack of emotion... The chance of sneaking into the dungeon with the Silent Forest is higher."
After preparing other potions, Margaret left the lounge alone.
Kiruaite regretted that he could not go as a small group in order to hide his actions, and then he was excited by the rewards of the upcoming dungeon.
This excitement disappeared until one day later when Margaret still hadn't returned.
"Perhaps we encountered other teams?" Kiruit hesitated and said to himself.
"Does it matter?" Lu Li asked.
"Robbing and fighting are not prohibited." Jaeger said instead: "It is said that the senior team will even fight..."
"The academy doesn't prohibit it?"
"Of course it's forbidden, but it's the same as cheating. As long as no one knows... No, we have to find -"
Knock knock knock——
There was a knock on the door. Kiruait felt a little relieved and prayed that Margaret would come back and open the door.
The indifferent gatekeeper stood outside the corridor and announced coldly: "Margaret Rowley, a member of the Holy Light Team, died while challenging the dungeon."
"Margaret...no...this can't be...she..."
Kiruait slumped in front of the door in despair. Yeager showed pain and sadness, and Naxi kept clenching and unclenching his fists.
Lu Li was silent and quiet.
This is the first lesson for him in the trunk area.
