"Holy crap, a dungeon for thirty people? And all abilities sealed? Isn't this difficulty sky-high?"
"Don't make such a fuss, this is a rare special-type dungeon that can accommodate many players. Essentially, it's every man for himself."
"The lady is right, but even though the exam part is every man for himself, we can still form offensive and defensive alliances, huddle together for warmth."
"Form a √8 alliance... it's been almost twenty years since I graduated, and now they want me to take the college entrance exam again? I'd rather roast a large kidney! The task info says we only have three months until the joint exam!"
"Who would have thought? To become a player, you have to be at least twenty, and they want us to take exams? Ridiculous!"
"Speaking of... aren't ordinary dungeons usually apocalypse-themed? Why is this bizarre dungeon here?"
"Oh no! I'm a total slacker."
"By the way, why is there someone with a dog?"
"Huh? Huh? Huh? This guy looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."
As everyone was engaged in a lively discussion, a tall, sturdy man with a square face and a crew cut, wearing heavy armor, stepped out of the crowd and clapped his hands forcefully.
"Everyone, please be quiet! Could you listen to me for a moment? I am Chen Guozhi, C Tier Conductor of the Xinglong Army, currently Level 19..."
Lu Wenwu focused his gaze and saw the information of this standard Holy Knight template gentleman.
[Xinglong Army C Tier Conductor Chen Guozhi (C+)]: 5800/5800
[Current Status]: Calm and Composed, Energy Core Seal, Skill Seal, System Function Seal
Another military person...
Lu Wenwu felt a twinge of sentiment.
He still had a pretty good impression of Yuan Shi and Wei Long from the last encounter.
The Xinglong Army is the largest and most widely distributed force among the people of the Divine Continent, comprised entirely of Transcendents and elite soldiers.
Suppressing the materialized dungeons along with top-tier Transcendents is their daily routine.
The Divine Continent remains socially stable today thanks to the indelible contributions of the Xinglong Army.
In other words, they are the cornerstone of the nation!
Unlike ordinary armies.
Due to the special nature of Transcendents needing to enter dungeons at any time, they form temporary small teams, large or small, by squad (12 people) according to different missions.
Therefore, aside from retaining the position of squad leader, other levels of command are divided by strength, without fixed military ranks, or even fixed members.
"... Please do not panic. According to my intelligence, we just need to follow the school rules and regulations and study hard. It's actually less dangerous than ordinary dungeons."
"We just need to explore and complete certain side tasks to unseal our backpacks, skills, and system functions."
"But please remember, do not attempt to challenge the school rules. To my knowledge, no player has ever broken this law so far."
"Take care not to have conflicts with classmates and endure if you can."
"Our abilities are sealed, making us incapable of resisting those creatures called Deceitful Objects, which can kill us who only have basic attribute points."
"Though Deceitful Objects usually look like humans, under certain conditions, humans are part of their diet."
"Sorry, Conductor Chen, to interrupt."
A slightly scholarly man in a Daoist robe raised his hand to signal.
"Excuse me, I'd like to ask, is the 'Deceitful Object' you're talking about a ghost?"
Chen Guozhi shook his head decisively: "No, Deceitful Objects are strange creatures, named for their bizarre appearance and abilities, not the ghosts found in ordinary dungeons."
"Blessed Infinite Celestial Venerable, thank you for your explanation. I salute you." The scholarly man cupped his fists and performed an ancient courtesy.
[Inner Sect Disciple of Shenxiao Immortal Sect Profound Wind (C)]: 2900/2900
[Current Status]: Talisman Body Protection, Energy Core Seal, Skill Seal, System Function Seal
Oh wow, an Immortal!
Lu Wenwu, who was merely glancing before, was instantly shocked by this person's prefix.
This world not only has dungeon apocalypses but also cultivation sects!
Is there a Spiritual Energy Revival going on here?
Shenxiao Immortal Sect must play with Thunder Technique, right?
No wonder there's a question about ghosts.
Quick, see if there are other hidden big shots in the crowd.
As Lu Wenwu continued to observe, Chen Guozhi continued to explain some points to note and eventually urged everyone to unite and help each other through the difficulties.
Out of the thirty people, only about twenty seemed interested in Chen Guozhi's call.
The rest had already dispersed, seizing the opportunity while the school gate was still open to start exploring freely outside.
"I've finished speaking. Brother Wu, is there anything you'd like to add?" Suddenly, Chen Guozhi turned his gaze to Lu Wenwu, who was lost in thought, and asked with a smile.
Lu Wenwu: "..."
Holy crap, getting exposed right from the start again?
My fondness for the Xinglong Army just dropped by 1!
No way, next time I must let Liu Ming talk to them about this!
"Aside from the initial dungeon, this is only my second time in a dungeon. What else can I add?" The somewhat irked Lu Wenwu said honestly.
"Second time!? According to the usual dungeon calculation, that means at most ten... Holy crap, Level 10!?"
"Oh wow, Big Bro! Carry us, we're weak and famished!"
"Gosh! This must be the Brother Wu from the initial dungeon, right?"
"Holy crap, Brother Wu got an 'Incredible' rating again!?"
"Goodness..."
The scene was suddenly filled with the sound of people gasping.
Making an indelible contribution to delaying global warming for the Otherworld.
"Ring~ Ring~"
At that moment, a crisp bell sounded, and the large iron school gate opened.
A tall woman dressed in a tight black leather outfit, with a complexion pale as paper, stepped out from inside the school gate in high heels, scanning the thirty players at the entrance with a scrutinizing gaze.
That look, that aura, that overwhelming presence, a true queen's demeanor!
However, this strange outfit that accentuates her body curves made her look less like a school staff member.
More like the heroine of an action romance movie from an Island Country setting.
Just missing a whip.
Her eyes, like she was looking at trash, swept from left to right and suddenly stopped on Lu Wenwu's tall and strong body.
"You, come with me. You're now a student in our class."
She stuck out a small, crimson tongue to lick her lips, then spoke.
This sentence was filled with a domineering and irresistible tone.
The instant change from disdain to fervor in her gaze, coupled with her undeniable words, left other players bewildered.
Those who know what's going on would think she's picking students, those who don't might assume you're selecting concubines or something!
"As for you bunch of trash, there's a roster at the school registration office. Find your corresponding class yourselves, and be prepared for the consequences if you're not in class before the morning self-study." The leather-clad female teacher said again.
A female player frowned: "Aren't you supposed to guide us to our classes as a teacher?"
"Yes, but I've changed my mind now, so what?" The leather-clad female teacher showed disdain again.
