《Worldwide Class Change: I Got Invincible Passive》 Chapter 1 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°I beg the heavens, it must be a combat profession!¡± ¡°Not only must he be a combat profession, but he must also be a mage!¡± ¡°Yesterday, in the school next door, there were only thirty mages out of a few hundred people. The probability is too small.¡± In Dragon Country, Northern City No. 2 High School, the hundreds of boys and girls on the field all had nervous expressions on their faces. Hundreds of years ago, the world had undergone an earth-shattering change: the Heavenly Dao descended. Countless monsters wreaked havoc, like a game and reality overlapping, and dungeons appeared out of nowhere. The entire world had experienced a baptism of catastrophe, and the surface of the blue planet had expanded by tens of thousands of times! The surviving humans rebuilt the city wall. After a hundred years, mankind had once again returned from the long river of history. As the pioneers continued to explore, gradually, they found a path suitable for humans, and the entire population prospered! After many years of settling down, there were now more than a thousand occupations. However, the most basic ones were still warriors, mages, assassins, priests, and so on¡­ Every year, during the Coming of Age Ceremony, talents would be awakened and they would change their professions to complement each other. In a corner of the crowd, Lin Mo looked excited. He had transmigrated into this world for 18 years, dreaming about this day. Awakening one¡¯s talent, changing into the warrior of one¡¯s dreams, and becoming stronger in this monster-infested world! ¡°Lin Mo, are you nervous?¡± The female student beside him turned around and asked,¡± I¡¯m so nervous too. I hope to awaken a better talent.¡± Talent was an absolute factor in the choice of profession! For example, Agility-type talents had a 99% chance of becoming Rangers and Assassins! Talent was divided into ten levels, which were Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical! There was a good saying that talent determined the upper limit, while class decided the lower limit. Some people had heaven-defying luck and were born with a talent that was above the platinum level. That was equivalent to having a golden spoon in their mouth. No matter what class he changed to, he would be superior to others, while others might awaken a lifestyle class and have no chance of fighting. Being unable to control his own fate in this world would be an unforgettable knot in his heart. ¡°I¡¯m about to awaken. How can I not be nervous?¡± Lin Mo smiled. Suddenly, a cold aura swept across the entire place, causing an uproar among the students present! ¡°Oh¡­ This temperature, the vice-principal must be here!¡± ¡°Frost Wizards are terrifying. I can feel them from so far away!¡± ¡°I must awaken my Wizard talent too!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± On the podium, a white-haired middle-aged man appeared. It was Xu Xin, the vice principal of Second High. Xu Xin lowered his head and looked at the black mass of students. His tone was a little dignified as he said, ¡°Students, get ready. The awakening instance is ready to begin!¡± A black iron door suddenly rose from the empty space. ¡°Enter the Awakening Instance Dungeon in an orderly manner according to your student number. Don¡¯t push and cut in line!¡± The teachers were maintaining order at the side. The students of the Second Middle School lined up in an orderly manner as they watched the students in front step into the Awakening Instance Dungeon. ¡°Class 2, Li Qiang!¡± During the roll call, the first youth to enter the Awakening Instance Dungeon impatiently stepped through the door. He waited for more than ten seconds, and the giant screen beside the door suddenly displayed the awakening information. [Awakening successful, silver-level talent ¡®Iron Wall¡¯] [Advancement to Combat Class-Warrior!] Li Qiang exited from the Awakening Instance Dungeon. The excitement on his face could no longer be concealed. Silver talent was definitely not bad in this world. As long as he worked hard, he would be able to live comfortably in the future. Many students were envious. At the same time, they were even more nervous about fate. ¡°Class 3, Wang Er!¡± The teacher continued to call out names, allowing the students to enter the Awakening instance dungeon one by one. As the information displayed on the huge screen appeared, some were happy while others were worried. A talent that was too low-level was basically destined to be unknown among the class changers. ¡°Lin Mo from Class 5!¡± At this moment, the teacher called out the name according to the student number. ¡°It¡¯s finally my turn.¡± Lin Mo took a deep breath and stepped into the black iron door. At this moment, his entire body was wrapped in invisible energy. It was very comfortable, but there was an indescribable sense of surprise. When he opened his eyes, it was pitch-black. Suddenly, a bright golden light appeared and entered Lin Mo¡¯s chest. [Awakening successful. Black-iron talent ¡®Passive Master¡¯] [Advancement to Combat Class-Warrior!] ¡°Black ¡­ Black Bronze talent?¡± Lin Mo was in disbelief, so much so that he didn¡¯t even notice when he had exited the dungeon. In the end, his upper limit was sealed as soon as he came up. This was an unacceptable reality for any class change. ¡°Lin Mo, don¡¯t be too sad. At least you¡¯re still a warrior, ¡± the teacher comforted. ¡± You still have a chance.¡± At this moment, there was a burst of laughter from Class Five on the field. ¡°Hahaha, the second Black Iron Rank talent has appeared!¡± ¡°Better than the first unlucky guy. At least he¡¯s still a Warrior.¡± ¡°Forget it. I know that unlucky guy. His parents are both job changers with Silver talents. At least they don¡¯t have to worry about food and drink. I can¡¯t say for sure about Lin Mo.¡± In this world, it was still the same old routine. If they couldn¡¯t compete in strength, they would compete in the background. However, Lin Mo¡¯s parents had entered the dungeon for a mission and there had been no news of him ever since. In such a situation, death was basically already pronounced. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was very ugly. [Passive Master (Black-iron): The activated passive BUFF will receive an additional 1% temporary buff!] His profession had indeed become a warrior, just as he had hoped. However, this talent¡­This was too much of a scam! The passive 1% buff was even more powerful than a mosquito¡¯s leg! Black Iron Rank talents were rare. Most of them had at least Bronze Rank talents. What a scam! He had painstakingly lived for eighteen years just for today. With a talent that was equivalent to a blank slate, even if the class was a warrior, no team would accept him. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Lin Mo looked up at the blue sky, his heart filled with endless melancholy. How was he supposed to play this hell of a game? ¡°But we still have to play.¡± Lin Mo rubbed his temples and began to think about how to save this lousy talent. Should he switch to the lifestyle support class as soon as possible? Forging iron and becoming a blacksmith was not bad either. At least he could survive. Just as Lin Mo¡¯s heart was already dead, a crisp and cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully awakening. The passive god is being bound ¡­ Binding successful!] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 2 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW What the hell was a passive god? He had already considered whether he wanted to be a blacksmith. After all, a Black Iron Rank talent was useless. However, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind, Lin Mo went from being stunned to ecstatic! As expected, novels didn¡¯t lie to me. Transmigration really needed a standard. ¡°System, what does the passive god mean?¡± [In response to the host¡¯s question, the system is called passive god. It can automatically upgrade the passive skills learned by the host to the supreme god-level, and the passive skill slots that the host can have can be expanded without limit!] [Since the host does not have a passive skill yet, the system will randomly draw a passive skill book and give it to the host. Please be prepared!] Hearing this, Lin Mo sucked in a cold breath. He had never even heard of a super divine grade. Wasn¡¯t the highest level only at the Divine level?This was heaven-defying! From the system¡¯s introduction, all the passive skills that Lin Mo learned would automatically be upgraded to super god-grade! Any player who had played the game would know: passive skills were often more important than active skills! It was precise because of this, normally, a class¡¯s passive skill bar would only have one bar in the early stages and at most three in the later stages. Now, not only did Lin Mo not have any restrictions, but he could also raise the passive skills he had learned to a super god-grade that was even stronger than god-grade! ¡°If I master over a hundred super god-level passive skills, wouldn¡¯t I really be able to become a super god?¡± Thinking of this, Lin Mo became even more excited. One thought of hell, one thought of heaven. Not long ago, he was still worried about his talent. Now, he had already swept away all the Yin fog. ¡°Draw!¡± [Extracting passive skill¡­Drawing successful!] [Congratulations, you have obtained the F-rank passive skill ¡®Basic Armor!] ¡°F class?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched. What was there to congratulate? Immediately, he could not wait to learn the passive skill. The F-class passive elementary armor penetration had a 3% chance of causing armor penetration damage to the target. It was simply too weak to look at. ¡°Ding! You have learned the F-rank passive skill, Elementary Armor Penetration!¡± A screen that looked like a game panel appeared in front of him. This was an ability that all professionals possessed. Lin Mo quickly clicked on the confirmation button and opened his personal information panel impatiently. ¡­ Name: Lin Mo Level: 1 (0.0%) [Class: Warrior] [HP: 260] [Magic Power: 100] [Strength: 16] [Agility: 10] [Intelligence: 5] [Endurance: 13] [Talent: Passive God (Unique)] [Active Skill: None] ¡°Passive Skill: Divine Blade (Super God)¡± [Divine Blade: Normal attacks or active skills will ignore physical and magic resistance when hitting the target, causing 100% true damage. At the same time, the attack has the effect of ¡®Blade Break¡¯, making it easier to cut the target.] ¡­ When he read the introduction of the Divine Weapon Broken Blade, Lin Mo¡¯s head buzzed. Was this still that weak beginner skill? After the advancement of the passive god, it had actually grown to a heaven-defying level, ignoring physical and magic resistance! In Lin Mo¡¯s impression, legendary passive attacks of the same type could only ignore 40% of physical and magic resistance at most! There were not many Divine-level experts, so they definitely could not be completely ignored. ¡°Hu¡­¡± Lin Mo took a deep breath and finally recovered from his shock. This was definitely a close-combat BUG-level passive! As for other aspects, there was no need to look at them. Because of the Warrior profession, Strength and Durability were the most outstanding, followed by Agility and a pitiful 5 points of Intelligence. The awakening ceremony was gradually coming to an end. The students were both worried and happy. There were already quite a number of people who had started forming teams, preparing to enter the novice dungeon, facing his first dungeon challenge. Lin Mo was no exception. After leaving the school, he took a bus and headed to a small town on the outskirts of North City. The town was basically made up of merchants who specialized in serving professionals, and selling all kinds of equipment and weapons. This time of the year was the best time for their business. A large group of students entered the town and began to prepare to purchase their equipment and weapons. ¡°F * ck, there¡¯s actually a silver-grade bow and arrow here?¡± ¡°10,000 gold coins? Why don¡¯t you go rob it? It¡¯s only Level 1!¡± ¡°Give me a 40% discount on your Refined Iron Greatsword¡­¡± ¡°¡­..¡± The town was bustling with noise. Lin Mo looked at the shops around him, but he did not stop at all. He headed straight for the special office that was specially prepared for poor students in North City. Due to his parents ¡®disappearance, Lin Mo had been working part-time all these years. After paying half of the tuition fees, he could barely survive. He didn¡¯t have enough gold coins to buy that equipment. He went to the special office, registered his information, and waited at the front desk. After confirming his identity, the staff took out a list and handed it to Lin Mo. The most basic equipment was on it. Lin Mo could choose one weapon and one defensive equipment. ¡°Just these two.¡± There were very few choices on the list, so Lin Mo did not hesitate to choose the Basic Warrior Longsword and Basic Warrior Breastplate. [Name: Basic Warrior Longsword] [Rarity: Steel] [Level: 1] [Attack: 3] [Introduction: A basic longsword. It¡¯s mostly used for practice. If you use it to kill monsters, your brain shouldn¡¯t be filled with water, right?] ¡­ [Name: Basic Warrior Breastplate] [Rarity: Steel] [Level: 1] [Defense: 5] [Introduction: Breastplate made of ordinary metal, heavy and clumsy!] These two pieces of junk, even if they were sold to merchants who recycled equipment, would probably be seen as looking for trouble. Lin Mo didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. With the support of the Divine Weapon Broken Blade, even basic equipment would not be a problem! Then, he went to the town¡¯s largest professional skill center and received basic skills exclusive to students. Lin Mo was a Warrior, so all he could choose were related skills. ¡°This one then.¡± He pointed at a Warrior skill book,[Chop]. This was one of the few offensive skills that Warriors had. As for the other [Heavy Strike], he didn¡¯t need it yet, so he didn¡¯t consider it. ¡°Due to your family background as a professional, Northern City is giving you preferential treatment to choose one more skill book.¡± ¡°There¡¯s such a thing?¡± The staff member¡¯s words made Lin Mo¡¯s eyes light up. He immediately chose the movement type [Back Step] and learned the two skill books after completing the procedures, and rushed to the dungeon entrance in front of the town. The place was already crowded with people, shouting at each other to form teams. However, Lin Mo did not stop. He went straight to the entrance of the dungeon and disappeared. ¡°Hmm?¡± A student saw this scene and said in disbelief, ¡°Did I see wrongly just now? Why did a guy enter the dungeon alone?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 3 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°How is that possible? Stop dreaming. Hurry up and prepare to enter the dungeon.¡± His teammates beside him looked like they couldn¡¯t believe it. Unlike the monsters in the wild, the strength of the monsters in the dungeon was more average. Moreover, with the protection of the rules, death in the dungeon would not really mean death. Instead, one would be teleported out of the dungeon and receive a penalty for not being able to enter for 24 hours. There would be no EXP penalty within Level 10. If you leave the dungeon, the penalty will be halved and you will not be able to enter for 12 hours. Dungeons were also divided into Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and so on¡­ The current novice dungeon was level iron, the easiest difficulty in North City. But to be honest, even so, most students would still take it seriously. After all, this was related to his results for the university entrance examination. The examination time was set to be within 72 hours, so students did not dare to take the risk easily. If they couldn¡¯t enter again within 24 hours, wouldn¡¯t the gains outweigh the losses? Regarding this point, the teachers in school also emphasized that newbie dungeons must choose a good team and not act rashly. However, Lin Mo¡¯s situation did not allow him to find a team. With a Black Iron Rank talent, no one would allow such trash to enter the team. He did not doubt the students ¡®information network at all. A useless talent like him had long been blacklisted by various teams. Instead of seeking humiliation, it was better to farm alone. The warriors still had an advantage in the early stages, which was high HP and high defense! As long as he was careful and used the Divine Weapon Blade, a super god-level passive skill, Lin Mo was confident that he could take a gamble. He disappeared at the entrance of the dungeon. He felt a flash before his eyes and entered the dungeon. It was late at night in the dark sky. However, there was a village behind him, and it was lit up by a fire. ¡± We¡¯ve finally sent reinforcements. Village Chief, come quickly! ¡± A young man with a face full of dust and dirt saw Lin Mo and hurriedly shouted to the village. Not long after, an old man in his seventies opened the village gate excitedly and grabbed Lin Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°Finally, the village is saved!¡± ¡°If they don¡¯t come, we won¡¯t be able to survive!¡± ¡°Elder, please speak slowly.¡± ¡°Sigh¡­¡± The village chief sighed and said that Goblins had been causing trouble in the village for the past ten days. In the beginning, the Goblins only stole livestock and did not harm the villagers. But gradually, the number of goblins increased. When they reached a certain scale, they began to attack the villagers! ¡°Ding! Instance Dungeon quest ¡®Defend the Village¡¯ has been released. Please open the interface to check the details!¡± A notification sounded. Lin Mo opened the mission panel and understood after looking at it in detail. [Mission: Protect the village] [Difficulty: Simple] [Number of times: 0/10] [Introduction: You are the hope of the village. Please stop the goblins and protect them!] Lin Mo¡¯s current identity was the reinforcement given by the dungeon. He needed to help the village resist the ten goblin attacks. Every year, the contents of the instance dungeon would be refreshed. However, the overall content was about the same. Lin Mo had done his homework beforehand and knew what he would face next. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Village Chief. Leave this to me. You guys can just hide in the village.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Village Chief turned to look around and asked blankly, ¡°¡±Are you the only one who came to support us?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡± Then it¡¯s over. The heavens really want to destroy Carefree Village! ¡± ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the crazy village chief, Lin Mo was speechless. What kind of NPC was this? They hadn¡¯t even started fighting yet and they were already complaining. However, he was too lazy to argue with him. After coaxing and pushing the village chief and the others into the village, he began to prepare for the first wave of goblin attacks. According to the information from previous years, the first wave was to give the rookies a chance to try their hands. The difficulty was very low. Lin Mo looked at the countdown timer above his field of vision and gripped his Basic Warrior longsword tightly. ¡°Roar!¡± When the countdown reached zero, a sharp roar sounded. A Goblin slowly walked out of the forest with a broken wooden stick. [Name: Goblin] [Level: Level 1] [HP: 150] [Skill: Heavy Strike] ¡­ As expected of a monster in a newbie dungeon. It could be said that there was almost no difficulty at all. However, Lin Mo did not let his guard down. There was only one Goblin in the first wave. Apart from giving special treatment to newcomers, it was more because he was a lone wolf. A normal five-man team would face three Goblins in the first wave. As soon as the goblins appeared, their target was Lin Mo, who was standing at the entrance of the village. However, their slow movements made them look like they were on a vacation. During this period, Lin Mo had already started calculating the damage. His current Strength was 16 points. With the help of the Divine Weapon Broken Blade, he could ignore physical and magic defense, so he could directly deal 32 damage to the goblin! If he used the skill Chop, he could further increase the damage. In other words, he needed three attacks to take it down! ¡°It¡¯s almost done. Five more steps and you¡¯ll be within my attack range.¡± The goblins were getting closer and closer. Lin Mo held his longsword and was ready to attack at any time. ¡°Walala!¡± The goblins raised their wooden sticks and took a big step forward excitedly. Their speed increased significantly. If it was a newbie, he would definitely be shocked. However, Lin Mo had already predicted that the goblins would make this move, so he made the first move. Slash! As the basic attack skill of a Warrior, Chop did not deal much damage in the early stages, but it was very useful. A very short backswing only required good control of the release distance. He would be able to hit his target first! ¡°Swoosh!¡± ¡°-117!¡± A blood-red number appeared above the goblin¡¯s head, but Lin Mo looked as if he had seen a ghost. It wasn¡¯t because of the damage, but because the moment the Basic Warrior¡¯s sword slashed down, it easily cut off the Goblin¡¯s arm and even injured its abdomen. The dark green blood mixed with the various internal organs was simply unobstructed. The effect of this attack was a critical hit with extremely high damage! ¡°How perverted.¡± Only now did Lin Mo realize how powerful the Divine Weapon Broken Blade was. It could actually cut through the most basic warrior¡¯s sword like it was mud! Under normal circumstances, the strength of a monster¡¯s flesh and bones was astonishing. It was very difficult for a monster of the same level to cause the effect of breaking a limb. However, Lin Mo had easily done it! ¡°Kaka ~ Ah!¡± The injured Goblin lay on the ground and struggled frantically. It had completely lost its ability to attack. Lin Mo didn¡¯t waste any time and directly took the first kill! ¡°Ding! You have killed a Goblin, experience points +10!¡± ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV2 and received 3 free attribute points!¡± [Reminder: The second round of goblin invasion will arrive in five minutes. If you are ready, you can skip the waiting time in the mission panel!] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 4 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW A golden light flashed, and Lin Mo¡¯s level rose to level 2. All his basic attribute points were +1, and he obtained 3 free attribute points. Lin Mo did not hesitate to use them all on endurance, increasing his HP to 340 points. This way, he could deal with multiple Goblins and increase his chances of error. Lin Mo would not let his guard down after the first wave went smoothly. After he was done, he immediately opened the mission panel and skipped the waiting time. In the dark night, rustling sounds came from the forest. Two goblins appeared. Unlike the first wave, the two Goblins were agile. They wore wooden armor and held spiked clubs. ¡°Wahhh!¡± The moment they reached the village gate, they raised his weapon and rushed over. Lin Mo wouldn¡¯t just sit there and wait for death. He immediately raised his Warrior Basic Longsword and took the initiative to attack. Swoosh! The moment he got close, a slash landed heavily on one of the goblins! The damage dealt by this attack was not bad, and it directly took away one-third of the Goblin¡¯s HP. ¡°No critical hit?¡± Lin Mo took a step back to increase the distance between them. Even so, with the help of the Divine Weapon Blade¡¯s passive skill, ignoring the goblin¡¯s defense, the damage was still considerable. ¡°Wahhh!¡± The injured goblin roared angrily and charged over in a crazy manner. Lin Mo was ready for battle, and the sword in his hand instantly stabbed the goblin. With a puffing sound, he left a deep wound on the Goblin¡¯s chest. Without giving it a chance to catch its breath, Lin Mo used Chop to attack again! He directly took away a Goblin. ¡°Ding! You have killed a Goblin, experience points +10!¡± It had to be said that the other goblin was quite moral. It did not attack with its companions. After all, it was still a newbie dungeon. When he challenged a bronze-grade dungeon or above, it would definitely not give a professional such an easy environment. The remaining goblin was no match for Lin Mo, and it fell into a pool of blood after only two rounds. [Reminder: The third round of the Goblin Invasion will begin in five minutes. If you are ready, you can skip the waiting time in the mission panel!] The monsters in the dungeon would not disappear after they died. Lin Mo took the opportunity to clean up the battlefield. He dug out the goblin¡¯s bones. It looked a little disgusting, but Lin Mo was already used to it. When he was working and studying, he often went to the monster processing factory to work and deal with all kinds of monster corpses. He took out the bones of the three goblins and stuffed them into his backpack. The initial inventory slot only had sixteen slots. If he wanted to expand it, he would have to consume special items. There was no need to mention the price. It was not something that Lin Mo should be thinking about now. ¡°These bones are not bad. They can be sold for at least five gold coins.¡± After packing up, Lin Mo was about to start the third wave of invasion, but the village chief was standing beside him with a smile. ¡°Village chief, are you a ghost?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the ghost!¡± When the village chief heard this, he blew his beard and glared at him.¡±I didn¡¯t expect you to be so strong. You could easily kill the invading Goblins.¡± ¡°Just so-so.¡± Lin Mo smiled and scratched his head. At this time, the village chief definitely did not come just to praise him. As expected, the village chief coughed dryly and said, ¡± Ahem, you¡¯ve contributed to the village. I won¡¯t treat you unfairly. These should be of some help to you, but you can only pick one. ¡± After saying that, he took out three skill books, all of which were related to Warriors. ¡°Basic Flash, Basic Dash, Basic Reverse Armor.¡± The first two were both active skills and came with passive skills. Lin Mo wasn¡¯t stupid. He chose the third book without hesitation. But it was not over yet. The village chief handed over a box and said, ¡°This is an additional reward for you. Whether we can protect the village or not will depend on you. Good luck!¡± With that, he hurried back to the village and closed the door. He was afraid that the Goblins would come and treat him as dinner. Lin Mo checked the box¡¯s information: [Newbie Dungeon Gift Bag] [Rarity: Steel] [Level 1] [Introduction: This is a special gift bag to reward newcomers. Please make good use of it and continue your legend!] ¡°Haha.¡± Lin Mo was not surprised. Everyone who entered the dungeon had this thing. It was not rare at all. The introduction looked quite scary, but in fact, the items were completely random, and they were all of the lowest levels! Therefore, Lin Mo opened the gift bag without any expectations. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the Newbie Dungeon Gift Bag and obtaining the passive skill book [Beginner Desire]!¡± ¡°F * ck?! ¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes widened when he heard the notification. Could it be that his luck had come? This lousy thing could even give out a passive skill. It was simply like winning the first prize in the lottery! Lin Mo could not help but feel his breathing heat up. He had obtained two passive skill books at once. He immediately learned [Beginner Anti-Armor] and [Beginner Desire], then opened his personal interface to check. [Armor of Thorns (Supreme God-level): After receiving an attack, it will trigger the anti-damage effect. The higher the opponent¡¯s attack damage, the higher the anti-damage effect will be. The maximum damage can reach 200%!] [Sin of Greed (Supreme God-level): After killing a target that is not lower than your level, permanently increase your maximum HP without limit! (Current increase: 0)] Seeing these two passive skills, Lin Mo¡¯s face was almost crooked from smiling. One was a passive skill that was very suitable for Warriors. As long as their HP and defense were high enough, they could still injure their opponents without moving. The other was to permanently increase the maximum health points without limit! No matter which one it was, it could be called a pervert! After calming himself down, Lin Mo could not wait to welcome the third wave of goblins. He opened the mission panel and skipped the remaining three minutes. Seven goblins appeared in the distance. Lin Mo held the Basic Warrior longsword and grinned. ¡°Congratulations, you can become my first batch of offerings! ¡± ¡°Wow!¡± ¡°Wahhh!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The Goblins naturally couldn¡¯t understand human language. They waved their spiked clubs and charged forward. Lin Mo held his longsword horizontally in front of him and welcomed the first goblin¡¯s slash! Puchi! As the attack landed, the Goblin endured the pain and swung his mace. Lin Mo could have dodged it, but he wanted to try the effects of the new passive skill, so he took it head-on. Bang! This strike landed on Lin Mo¡¯s chest and he felt a tightness in his chest. He had lost 32 HP. However, the reflected damage that the goblin received was 56 HP. In addition to Lin Mo¡¯s previous attack, the goblin¡¯s HP was already low! ¡°Awesome!¡± Lin Mo was ecstatic as he received the goblin¡¯s experience with his next attack. ¡°Ding! You have killed a Goblin, experience points +10!¡± Looking at the remaining goblins, Lin Mo took the initiative to attack with an extremely domineering aura. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 5 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Lin Mo moved freely among the remaining six goblins, not feeling any pressure at all. With a slash, a slash, and a step back, he directly escaped. He would only take the initiative to attack when he found an opportunity. ¡°Ding! You have killed a Goblin, experience points +10!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV3 and received 3 free attribute points!¡± With a flash of golden light, Lin Mo had leveled up to Level 3. The remaining goblins were all dealt with. Lin Mo felt a little depressed after keeping all the goblin bones: the drop rate was indeed ridiculous. In this world, almost all equipment was produced by dungeons, but the drop rate was so low that it made one¡¯s hair stand on end. Lin Mo did not expect the Goblins to drop Warrior equipment. Any other class would be fine. In the end, none of them worked, which was disappointing. He distributed 3 free attribute points, 2 Endurance, and 1 Strength. Lin Mo opened his personal information panel. ¡­ Name: Lin Mo Level: 3 (7.0%) [Class: Warrior] [HP: 540] [Magic Power: 120] [Strength: 19] [Agility: 12] [Intelligence: 7] [Endurance: 17] [Talent: Passive God (Unique)] [Active Skill: Slash] [Passive Skills: Divine Weapon Broken Blade (Supreme God-level), Thorn Armor (Supreme God-level), Sin of Greed (Supreme God-level)] Excluding the basic 400 HP, he had increased it by 140 points with the Sin of Greed! This was just the beginning. It was unimaginable how much Lin Mo¡¯s HP would increase with the increase in the future! Lin Mo skipped the waiting time excitedly and couldn¡¯t wait to welcome the next wave of cuties. In the early stages of the game, other than experience, there was basically no gain. However, it was different for Lin Mo at this moment. Every monster had a lot of HP. More than ten goblins appeared. Lin Mo didn¡¯t waste any time. He raised his Basic Warrior longsword and charged forward. If it were any other newcomer, they would probably be dumbfounded. This wasn¡¯t a game. One had to be careful when facing monsters. Otherwise, they would be injured and affect their next move. However, Lin Mo relied on the Armor of Thorns to ignore the goblin¡¯s attack. As long as he maintained his HP above 300, he would be fine. After less than ten minutes, the Goblin corpses were strewn all over the ground. Lin Mo opened the interface to check his HP. He now had 769 HP! It had only been a short while, and his HP was almost over a thousand! If ordinary warriors wanted to break through the thousand mark, they would have to spend a lot of money to buy better equipment. This was not a small sum of money. Most warriors relied on the free attribute points given by leveling up. The fourth wave still did not drop any equipment. However, Lin Mo did not give up. After cleaning up the battlefield, he continued with the first wave of invasion. After half an hour, wave after wave of goblins fell to the ground, turning into Lin Mo¡¯s HP supply! At the same time, the sports field of No. 2 Middle School was very lively. They were currently watching the situation of each team through the live stream of the rookie dungeon. ¡°Awesome, Master Mage. I¡¯ll definitely change my class to a Mage next year!¡± ¡°Mages are insane. They¡¯ve only just started, and their damage is already two to three times that of other classes. It¡¯s completely unbalanced!¡± ¡°Come on, a Mage¡¯s damage is traded for something else.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. A Mage¡¯s HP is low after being touched by a monster!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The Year One and Year Two students looked at the screen and looked forward to being able to stand on the screen. There were six huge screens in the field. Each screen displayed the situation of the six teams in the dungeon. The live broadcast was not static. It would switch to other teams one by one. Soon, Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared on the screen. A strange phenomenon caught the attention of some students. ¡°F * ck, which boorish person is this? He¡¯s in the dungeon alone?!¡± ¡°This little brother is quite handsome.¡± ¡°Could it be because his teammate has already died?¡± ¡°Impossible! Look, he¡¯s not in a party state! ¡± ¡°It really is!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± This phenomenon quickly attracted the attention of more students. Lin Mo, who saw the live broadcast, revealed a surprised expression. Solo dungeons were a very stupid choice, especially for rookies like them. To the third-year students, this instance dungeon was the college entrance examination! There was no room for error! Under the constant guidance of the teachers, the importance of the team was mentioned countless times. In the end, there were still people who chose to solo. ¡°What a fool. Who knows this guy?¡± ¡°I remember now. His name is Lin Mo!¡± ¡°That unlucky fellow who awakened the Black Iron Talent?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not strange.¡± After learning the truth, the students expressed their infinite pity. Even if it was a popular Warrior class, no team would take him in. Did he do it voluntarily? That was definitely impossible! With pity in their hearts, everyone looked at Lin Mo in unison. Coincidentally, the fifth wave of invasion had already begun. Lin Mo took the initiative to meet the attack with his long sword and took the first blood with an extremely familiar technique! ¡°Warrior skills are pretty good. Unfortunately, what¡¯s the use of one person?¡± Everyone felt regretful. A warrior was destined to have a limit. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Lin Mo took a step back and immediately broke away from the goblins ¡®encirclement. He began a half-retreat, half-advance, and half-advance strategy. This technique was extremely important for distance control, and Lin Mo¡¯s results in school had always been excellent. Therefore, he was already familiar with it. However, the students who were watching the live broadcast felt that it was a pity. Such a talent had fallen because of his Black Iron Rank talent. It was inevitable that he would feel sad for Lin Mo. However, as time passed¡­ In the blink of an eye, there were less than five goblins left, but Lin Mo could move freely. The live broadcast was unable to view the specific information of the instance dungeon. There was only one scene. ¡°This ¡­ Impossible, I clearly saw the goblins attack him. How come Lin Mo is completely fine?¡± ¡°F * ck, we¡¯re going to win the fifth round!¡± ¡°Lin Mo is awesome!¡± ¡°A single person taking down the fifth round of the invasion, this is definitely not something a normal person can do! ¡± ¡°¡­..¡± The entire venue was in an uproar, attracting more and more students to watch. Following the sixth round of performance, Lin Mo still maintained his cool posture and dealt with 30 goblins. His performance was repeated again and again. It completely slapped the faces of the previous students. So The Clown is me? The results of the sixth round were enough for him to enter a second-rate academy. For an ordinary professional who had no aspirations, it was already quite good. ¡°Wait, what is he doing?¡± Suddenly, a student exclaimed. They saw Lin Mo start the seventh wave of invasion. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 6 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW With every wave of invasion, the Goblins ¡®levels and numbers would double. For an ordinary team to last until the sixth round under the cooperation of each other was already a very good result. The further they went, the more the overall strength of the team would be tested. However, Lin Mo did not care. Although the difficulty had doubled, it did not seem to be able to keep up with the speed at which his HP was increasing. After a few waves of attacks, his HP rose to 1680 points! Was this the amount of HP a newbie Warrior could have? If word got out, he would probably become a laughing stock. If he were to use his equipment, he would probably have to spend tens of millions of gold coins to accumulate 1680 HP. No one would do such a stupid thing. After all, low-level equipment was quickly eliminated. The seventh wave of goblins increased to 70, and they arrived at the village gate like a small army. The students watching the live broadcast felt their hair stand on end. One person against seventy goblins. Impossible! It was absolutely impossible! ¡°This guy is really greedy. If it were me, I would have left the dungeon in the sixth round.¡± ¡°Sigh, it must be his Black Iron Rank talent that made him crazy. After all, he¡¯s such an outstanding warrior.¡± While everyone was feeling sorry for him, Lin Mo had already started fighting. There were indeed many goblins. However, Lin Mo still had a lot of HP. As he continued to kill, his maximum HP increased. Lin Mo would become stronger and stronger as he continued to kill. On the contrary, the goblins ¡®overall strength would decrease as they died. The students watched the live stream. Every time Lin Mo was attacked by the Goblins, they would feel anxious. Gradually, they realized that their worries were unnecessary. Not only was Lin Mo unharmed, but he also took the opportunity to stab the goblin. The 70 Goblins were lying in pools of blood. Lin Mo was still full of energy as he sharpened his sword at the other goblins. ¡± Is he still human? He actually survived the seventh round! ¡± ¡°Crazy¡­He¡¯s not crazy, I¡¯m crazy!¡± ¡± Warriors are so strong. I¡¯ve changed my mind. Mages are awesome, but if you want to be handsome, you have to be a Warrior! ¡± ¡°Handsome, Lin Mo!¡± ¡± He¡¯s definitely the most awesome person in North City, right?! ¡± ¡± Almost. There was once someone in Northern City who entered the dungeon in pairs and made it to the eighth round. Lin Mo is even more ridiculous than them. ¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Watching the livestream, Goblins fell one by one. Audience felt their scalps go numb. If Lin Mo was given a gold-grade talent, how powerful would he be? At this moment, Lin Mo was focused on fighting. He gradually killed the last few Goblins. Looking at the large number of Goblins and their HP that had increased to 2980, he was satisfied! With his current HP, even if he stood still and let the two goblins attack him, it would take a few minutes or even ten minutes for his HP to return to zero. Furthermore, Lin Mo still had the Armor of Thorns. The reflected damage could kill them. He was not far from being able to automatically kill monsters by standing still. ¡± There are a total of 70 Goblins. It would be unreasonable if they didn¡¯t drop some equipment. ¡± Lin Mo put away the Basic Warrior¡¯s longsword and began to rummage through the dropped items. Soon, the map was cleared. He obtained 8 Basic Health Potions, 3 Basic Mana Potions, Nogan Goblin¡¯s Bone, and a longsword that emitted a blue light. ¡± Finally, a piece of equipment dropped. It¡¯s a Warrior¡¯s weapon! ¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. The weapons dropped from the dungeon were all sealed, and the professionals had to unlock them themselves to know the specific information. ¡°Ding! You have already unlocked the seal on the Hurricane Greatsword!¡± [Name: Hurricane Sword] [Rarity: Bronze] [Level: 5] [Strength: 10] [Endurance: 10] [Attack: 60] [Introduction: Little rascal, feel the power of the hurricane!] ¡°Not bad.¡± Lin Mo was quite satisfied. After all, it was a Bronze Weapon. The only pity was that he was only level 4 now. He was one level away from equipping it. Now, he could only continue to hold the Basic Warrior longsword and face the eighth wave of invasion. At the same time, in the Second Middle School outside the arena, the students ¡®movements attracted the attention of the teachers. ¡°Is this student from our school?¡± A male teacher stared at the live broadcast screen with his mouth agape. In his memory, there was no such fierce person. However, according to the information that was transferred over, this was indeed a student from their No. 2 Middle School. ¡± Lin Mo. I remember that he¡¯s a student in Teacher Li¡¯s class. ¡± ¡°With Black Iron Rank talent, you can actually reach this stage. You have a chance to enter a first-rate university!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we help him find a team after he comes out?¡± The teachers were naturally delighted by Lin Mo¡¯s performance. The college entrance examination lasted for three days. If such an outstanding warrior led a team, his results would be even better. ¡°I really envy Teacher Li.¡± A teacher looked at the live broadcast screen and smiled.¡±It¡¯s a pity that she¡¯s been seriously ill for the past few days and hasn¡¯t come. Otherwise, she would definitely be so excited that she would jump up and down.¡± Having such a fierce person in the class was not only a matter of honor for the class but also for the entire school. Even the vice-principal was alarmed and personally came to watch Lin Mo¡¯s live broadcast. ¡°He is Lin Mo?¡± Xu Xin looked at the live broadcast screen and was quite surprised. When he awakened, he had some impression of this name. After all, Black Iron Rank talents were not so common that they could be found all over the street. Every year, there would be a few unlucky people. He did not expect that this year¡¯s unlucky fellow would actually make it to the seventh round of invasion. It was inevitable that they felt sorry for Lin Mo¡¯s battle. ¡± What is he doing?! ¡± The students watching the live broadcast were shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s every move did not seem like he was about to leave the dungeon. Instead, it seemed like he wanted to continue! With his current results, he could already get into a better school. The eighth wave of invasion would continue to increase the difficulty by several times! The scene changed to the forest, and goblins appeared one after another. There were 210 of them! It was three times more than the seventh wave. Such a scale was enough to make an elite team of rookies feels the pressure of death. ¡°This is the eighth round?¡± Vice Principal Xu Xin¡¯s face darkened. In his eyes, Lin Mo¡¯s behavior was greedy and reckless. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 7 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW On the screen, Lin Mo¡¯s figure was quickly swallowed by the goblins. A warrior who had been the center of attention had fought alone and ended up in such a state. It made people sigh. ¡°Sigh, if only he had a teammate.¡± ¡°He probably knows that there¡¯s no chance, so he wants to die standing up.¡± ¡± Fortunately, there¡¯s no experience penalty below Level 10. I¡¯ll still be a hero after 24 hours! ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°If I can survive the eighth round, I don¡¯t even want to.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The students shook their heads helplessly, and so did the teachers. Lin Mo was such an outstanding professional. If he had qualified teammates, he would definitely be able to get better results and even enter the top universities in the country! Xu Xin stood on the high platform and sighed helplessly. This world was cruel. There was no need to continue watching. The live broadcast would be cut off soon. However, just as he was about to turn around, the scene suddenly flashed! ¡°Ha!¡± Lin Mo brandished his sword and charged out of the goblins ¡®encirclement. At the same time, a golden light flashed on his body, and he rose to Level 5! Originally, there was still some distance between Level 4 and Level 5, but in the midst of being surrounded, the high damage of the Armor of Thorns combined with the HP of the Sin of Greed, more than a dozen goblins were injured and killed inside. When his HP dropped to 2,000 points, Lin Mo did not have to wait any longer to kill his way out. ¡± How is that possible?! ¡± The teacher who was watching the live broadcast shouted,¡± There are so many Goblins. A newbie Warrior shouldn¡¯t be able to withstand them! ¡± The students who were still discussing were now so quiet that even their breathing could be heard. They couldn¡¯t imagine how Lin Mo managed to escape unscathed from the encirclement of dozens of goblins. Even with the help of two Priests, it would be impossible, right? ¡°Could it be that he has an invincible skill?¡± A student guessed. ¡°It¡¯s really possible. Otherwise, it¡¯s impossible for him to be unscathed!¡± ¡°No wonder¡­So I was worried for nothing.¡± ¡± Invincibility skill, very expensive, right? ¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to buy it. You just need to get the gift bag from the dungeon.¡± ¡°What heaven-defying luck? That kind of gift bag can even get an invincible skill.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± While the students were still guessing. Lin Mo had already left the safe zone. He equipped the Hurricane Greatsword and opened his personal information panel. Name: Lin Mo Level: 5 (1.5%) [Class: Warrior] [HP: 3290] [Magic Power: 120] [Strength: 33] [Agility: 14] [Intelligence: 9] [Endurance: 30] [Talent: Passive God (Unique)] ¡± Active Skills: Slash, Step Back ¡± [Passive Skills: Divine Blade (Supreme God-level), Thorn Armor (Supreme God-level), Sin of Greed (Supreme God-level)] ¡­ Looking at the exaggerated interface, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. As expected of a super god-level passive skill! The improvement it brought was so exaggerated that there was no limit. If he had known about the speculation at the live broadcast, he would definitely have scoffed. Invincibility skill? It could not compare to the unlimited increase of the Sin of Greed! With over 3,000 HP, even a Level 10 Warrior would not be able to match it. And this was just the beginning. It wouldn¡¯t be long before his HP broke through 10,000, then 100,000, 1,000,000, or even 10,000,000! The invincibility skill only lasted for a few seconds, but he was able to achieve true invincibility. Of course, he had to take things one step at a time. Looking at the black mass of goblins in front of him, Lin Mo raised his Hurricane Greatsword, which was larger than him. Swoosh! He waved his Hurricane Greatsword and flipped the seven goblins to the ground. The advantage of a greatsword was that it had a large attack range and the advantage of strength. However, the flaws were also very obvious. It would make the user cumbersome. He could make up for it by wearing Agility-based accessories. Lin Mo only had 14 points of Agility, so his walking speed with the Hurricane Greatsword was one-third slower than before. He could no longer advance and retreat as freely as before. The Warriors stood there without moving! The goblins charged forward in unison. Lin Mo did not even blink as he retaliated with the Hurricane Greatsword in his hand. A group of goblins rushed over and were overturned by Lin Mo. The next wave came, and the same thing happened. The teachers and students who were still watching the live broadcast were so shocked that they prostrated themselves. How was this a warrior? They were simply ruthless goblin killers! As soon as the goblin approached, Lin Mo swung his Hurricane Greatsword and flipped it over. When he was about to be completely surrounded, Lin Mo would put away his Hurricane Greatsword and run to another corner to continue flipping the goblins. Lin Mo couldn¡¯t become a brainless boor. However, in the eyes of the students, he was like an expert, displaying the greatest characteristic of the greatsword. ¡°I swear¡­After awakening, I will definitely become a warrior.¡± ¡°Me too!¡± Are you sure you have Lin Mo¡¯s ability? ¡± ¡°He¡¯s too handsome, senior. I¡¯ll definitely ask for his autograph when he comes out! ¡± ¡°¡­..¡± However, the more they admired Lin Mo, the more they felt sorry for him. Even the teachers were the same. Talent might not be the last straw to crush a professional, but it would be like a shackle that restrained the path of a professional. The gap between him and a high-level talent was constantly reflected. This was only the early stages. The influence of talent would not be too great. On the screen, Lin Mo was like a windmill, harvesting goblins one after another. The students watched as long as he brandished the Hurricane Greatsword. Compared to other live broadcasts. Lin Mo¡¯s uniqueness and the impact of the scene was the best experience. After the last goblin fell, Lin Mo started to clean up the loot. Two hundred goblins! The materials dropped were definitely richer. [Items dropped: 16 Basic Health Potions, 7 Basic Mana Potions, 32 Goblin Teeth, and several bones.] Not a single piece of equipment! Lin Mo immediately stuffed the items into his backpack with a look of disgust. What the hell! As expected, under the situation of bad luck, numbers alone could not change the outcome. This scene was broadcasted live, and the students also burst out laughing. This ending was too classic. The ridiculous dungeon drop rate had always been a common topic among them. Even an expert like Lin Mo would have such moments. However, when Lin Mo checked his health, his depression was swept away. It didn¡¯t matter if he didn¡¯t have any equipment. In any case, the bonus it brought was far less than that of a super god-level passive. After killing 210 goblins, his current HP had reached a terrifying 5600 points! It was as ridiculous as cheating! Lin Mo collected his emotions and prepared to challenge the ninth wave. However, the gate of the village suddenly opened, and the village chief walked out quickly. ¡°Another reward?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up, and he rushed forward impatiently. ¡°Well done, young man. I thought you would die at the hands of the Goblins.¡± The village chief laughed.¡± I¡¯ve already packed my luggage and prepared to flee the village.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 8 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW As the village chief spoke, he used his hand to carry the bag on his back. It seemed that what he said was true. These guys really planned to escape. Lin Mo was too lazy to complain. He only wanted the rewards for the next stage. Then, the village chief took out six skill books and said, ¡°Come here, don¡¯t stand on ceremony with me. Pick one of these books.¡± Choosing these skills was not bad. It would greatly improve a Warrior¡¯s strength. However, one of the passive skills made Lin Mo so excited that he could not take his eyes off it. [Beginner Shield Specialist Mastery] It could allow the warrior to be more familiar with the shield. After tasting the sweetness of the first three super god-level passive skills, Lin Mo would be a fool to choose an active skill that was only useful in the early stages instead of a good passive skill! ¡°This book¡­Are you sure?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t seem to have a shield. I¡¯ll give you one.¡± The village chief took out a wooden round shield that was only the size of a washbasin. [Name: Wooden Round Shield] [Rarity: Steel] [Level: 5] [Defense: 7] [Introduction: I want to shelter you from the wind and rain, but I can¡¯t because I¡¯m just a wooden shield!] Ordinary warriors wouldn¡¯t even look at such equipment. After all, it was too trashy. However, Lin Mo accepted it without care. ¡°Continue to work hard. I think of you highly so much!¡± After saying that, the village chief left in a hurry. After obtaining [Beginner Shield Specialist Mastery], Lin Mo did not hesitate to learn it. Then, he opened the information panel to check: [King¡¯s Divine Shield (Supreme God-tier): When attacked, there is a 30% chance of being completely immune to damage, a 70% chance of reducing damage by 90%, and at the same time, you are completely immune to physical debuffs such as knockback!] After reading the introduction of the King¡¯s Divine Shield, Lin Mo gasped. This effect was too terrifying! This ridiculous probability meant that he would either be immune to damage or only receive 10% damage. There were even physical effects such as immunity to knockback! The only problem was, would it clash with the Armor of Thorns? ¡°If there¡¯s no conflict, then wouldn¡¯t I be lying down and letting monsters attack me as they please in the future?¡± ¡°Even if there¡¯s no conflict, it¡¯s still domineering enough!¡± As the Sin of Greed continued to increase, his HP increased. The King¡¯s Divine Shield¡¯s effect was not as important. But at the moment, it was extremely necessary. It was Lin Mo¡¯s trump card when challenging people of a higher level. The students and teachers watching the livestream looked at the excited Lin Mo and were curious about what kind of skill he had obtained. ¡°Looking at his smile, it must be a good skill!¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be Gold Rank, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. We¡¯ll have to see.¡± ¡± Lin Mo will definitely challenge the ninth round. I wonder what the result will be. ¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Everyone was paying close attention to Lin Mo¡¯s next move, even Vice Principal Xu Xin was no exception. After so many years of teaching, this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying thing: A rookie warrior fighting alone to this extent, it was already a miracle in the history of North City! ¡°Teacher Li¡¯s student?¡± After Xu Xin checked the information, he said,¡± Go to the entrance of the dungeon and get ready. When Lin Mo comes out, bring him to my office immediately. ¡± ¡°Understood!¡± One of the teachers immediately strode away and headed towards the entrance of the instance dungeon. According to Xu Xin¡¯s guess, Lin Mo would definitely challenge the ninth round of the invasion. However, the situation in the ninth round was completely different from the previous eight rounds. Therefore, he was certain that Lin Mo would come out soon. After he came out, Xu Xin would not be stingy with such a student with great potential and would give him his full support. Poor talent? Many people would shake their heads and sigh because of their poor talent. However, Xu Xin was different. He was more concerned about Lin Mo himself. As long as Lin Mo was willing, Xu Xin could spend a lot of money to hire Lin Mo to teach at the school. After all, Lin Mo¡¯s combat awareness and techniques were outstanding in the dungeon. ¡°Look, he really wants to challenge the ninth round!¡± The crowd exclaimed. In the live broadcast, Lin Mo had already begun to prepare for battle, but his figure suddenly stopped. ¡°I almost forgot about this.¡± Lin Mo opened the interface and found the live broadcast mode after searching for a while. Every year, he paid special attention to the college entrance examination. Naturally, he knew about the live broadcast. In order to keep a low profile, the live broadcast mode had to be turned off. For many professionals, this was a normal thought. Therefore, Lin Mo turned off the live broadcast mode without hesitation. Then, the live broadcast of the Second Middle School¡¯s field went black and switched to another team. ¡°F * ck, why did you change the channel!¡± ¡°I want to see Lin Mo!¡± The scene instantly exploded. The teachers in charge of managing the backstage were also very anxious. In the end, they realized that there was no technical problem. Instead, Lin Mo¡¯s live stream mode had been turned off by himself. At this moment, everyone¡¯s hearts were itching even more. ¡°This brat¡­¡± ¡°You still know how to act in secret?¡± Xu Xin laughed bitterly backstage. He was also very curious about the situation in the instance dungeon. Since that was the case, he might as well make a trip personally to meet Lin Mo at the entrance of the dungeon. In the dungeon, after turning off the live broadcast mode, Lin Mo had no other concerns and skipped the waiting time. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the forest. ¡°Boom!¡± A loud sound rang out, followed by a few consecutive loud sounds. A huge goblin that was more than three meters tall suddenly entered Lin Mo¡¯s field of vision. ¡°This is¡­BOSS?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised and immediately checked the goblin¡¯s information. [Name: Powerful Goblin (Black-Iron Boss)] [Level: 5] [HP: 3000] [Skills: Heavy Strike, Horizontal Sweep, Charge] ¡­ It was only the ninth wave, and the BOSS had already appeared. Boss-level monsters had several times the HP of their peers or even hundreds of times! However, Lin Mo silently looked at his health. Then, he looked at the Goblin Boss. Err ¡­ Who was the BOSS? ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t want to bully you, just do it!¡± Lin Mo held the wooden round shield and the Hurricane Greatsword in his hands and stood motionless on the spot. ¡°Roar!¡± The Goblin Boss felt the contempt and roared angrily. Then, it held its huge spiked club and used its skill, Charge. It rolled over like a chariot. If it was any other Warrior, they would never be so stupid as to take the Boss ¡®Charge skill. However, Lin Mo had no intention of dodging. He raised his shield and looked at the Goblin Boss expectantly. In an instant, the Goblin Boss collided with Lin Mo. ¡°Bang!¡± Amidst the loud noise, the Goblin Boss lowered its head in disbelief and looked at Lin Mo, who was still smiling. ¡°You dare to be a BOSS with such little strength?¡± Lin Mo looked at his HP. He was lucky. He had triggered a 30% chance of damage immunity. He was more concerned about the BOSS¡¯s HP, which was now less than 600! ¡°There really isn¡¯t any conflict!¡± Lin Mo smiled. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 9 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW As a newbie dungeon BOSS, it was not easy to deal with. The rookie dungeon clearing rate over the years was only bleak single digits. However, even though Lin Mo was standing still, he did not pose any threat. ¡°Wahhh!¡± The Goblin Boss was furious. Its eyes were bloodshot as it swung its spiked club at Lin Mo. ¡°-17!¡± This attack dealt high damage of 17 points. When the Armor of Thorns was activated, the damage returned to the Goblin Boss was not just this little bit. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t embarrass yourself.¡± Lin Mo sighed and raised the Hurricane Greatsword in his hand. Puchi! However, the damage it dealt was not as critical as the reflected damage. After all, it has to give the BOSS some face. The Goblin Boss could not tolerate this offensive behavior anymore! It raised its huge spiked club and began to attack wildly. However, Lin Mo¡¯s HP was reduced by more than ten points at a time. Otherwise, he would be immune to damage. Only the Boss¡¯s HP was falling like a waterfall. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on killing the powerful Goblin (Black-Iron Boss), experience points +2000!¡± ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV6 and received 3 free attribute points!¡± The huge body fell, and a pile of glowing items dropped. Lin Mo immediately picked it up and examined it. There were a total of 3 Black-Iron equipment and a large pile of various medicine bottles. As expected of a Boss-level monster, the items it gave were really good! It was common knowledge that the drop rate of normal monsters was far lower than that of Bosses. However, the harvest this time really made Lin Mo excited. The first piece of equipment was a pair of gloves for Mages, the most valuable equipment among all the classes! Good stuff! The rest of the equipment was for warriors. [Name: Refined Iron Boots] [Rarity: Steel] [Level: 5] [Endurance: 6] [Agility: 7] [Introduction: A pair of boots suitable for combat. It¡¯s also very comfortable to experience.] ¡­ [Name: Battle Flag Shield] [Rarity: Bronze] [Level: 5] [Defense: 20] [Endurance: 11] [Introduction: Are you ready to face a flood of attacks?] ¡­ Lin Mo was very satisfied with both pieces of equipment. After equipping the boots, he replaced the wooden round shield that he had not used for long. He wasalso looking forward to the tenth wave of invasion. The BOSS appeared in the ninth wave ahead of time. If he guessed correctly, the tenth wave would be even larger. However, he had four super god-level passive skills, Lin Mo felt no pressure at all. However, at this moment, the door of the village was opened again, and the village chief appeared. ¡°Another reward?¡± ¡°No!¡± Village Chief rolled his eyes and sighed.¡± Sigh, thank you for saving us, hero. We made a regretful decision. ¡± When he finished speaking, a large group of villagers rushed out of the village. All of them were carrying bags of luggage and looked like they were ready to run away. ¡°Thank you, hero!¡± ¡°Thank you, big brother!¡± ¡°Little brother, come with us!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched when he saw this. Great! At this point, everyone was still prepared to run away to save their lives. Perhaps this was the plot of the dungeon, so he did not pay much attention to it. ¡°Thank you for your kindness, but I won¡¯t run away.¡± Lin Mo said seriously. ¡°You must choose to believe me! ¡± The storyline of the instance dungeon was not rigid and unchanged. In many instance dungeons, if the professional guided them properly, the score would increase after clearing the instance. Lin Mo didn¡¯t know if there was such a setting in the newbie dungeon, but he wouldn¡¯t lose any weight by saying a word. ¡°Hey.¡± The village chief sighed again and said,¡± Don¡¯t worry about us. Your actions have completely angered the Goblins. ¡± ¡°Is that true?¡± Lin Mo looked at the Goblin corpses lying on the ground. They had clearly left peacefully. ¡°There¡¯s no time, Village Chief.¡± A villager reminded. In response, the village chief said to Lin Mo as if he was giving his final instructions, ¡°If you still have the will to fight, I won¡¯t stop you. But I have to tell you something.¡± ¡°The Goblins ¡®attack this time is extraordinary. It¡¯s even more violent than before.¡± ¡°Even so, do you still want to fight?¡± ¡°Of course! It¡¯s my duty to protect the village!¡± Lin Mo said with a serious expression. Even if the villagers ran away, they would still be rewarded. ¡°Alright, in that case, let¡¯s do it!¡± The village chief nodded and turned to point at a house in the village.¡± If you survive, you will be allowed to choose a piece of equipment from the warehouse as a reward.¡± ¡°Self-selected reward?¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo frowned slightly. This was a rare opportunity! There were all kinds of opportunities in the dungeon, such as treasure chests. After opening them, one could obtain all kinds of props or equipment. Obviously, there was no treasure chest in this newbie dungeon because there was no area to explore. However, through the development of the plot, Lin Mo could also obtain similar opportunities. ¡°Alright, take care, hero!¡± The village chief suddenly burst into tears and grabbed Lin Mo¡¯s hand. Such a tear-jerking scene made many villagers tear up. Lin Mo couldn¡¯t handle it. It was as if they were separated by life and death. After that, the group of people started to flee. There were nearly a hundred people with their families, and this did not include livestock such as chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. Lin Mo watched as the countdown ticked by, and he realized that he didn¡¯t have enough time. ¡°Could it be¡­¡± Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and vaguely guessed something. He immediately caught up to the front of the group and stopped the village chief. ¡°Go back to the village!¡± ¡°Hero, you¡­¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense and go back quickly!¡± There was not much time left before the tenth wave. Lin Mo picked up the village chief and rushed into the village. The surrounding villagers were dumbfounded. ¡°Go back quickly. The Goblins have set up an ambush in the surroundings. Don¡¯t leave the village if you want to live!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words rang out, and the villagers, who were originally at a loss, immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the village. That was the key to the dungeon storyline! According to the countdown, if Lin Mo didn¡¯t interfere, the villagers would have to escape, then, the tenth wave of goblins that suddenly appeared would slaughter them all! At that time, even if Lin Mo killed the goblin, the dungeon score would be affected. After all, the mission description was very clear! Protect them well! They were referring to the villagers, not the village! After throwing the village chief back into the village, Lin Mo summoned hundreds of villagers back under his constant command. When the last big yellow dog entered, the village gate finally closed. ¡°I made it.¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief.

Chapter 10 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Suddenly, the sound of a horn resounded throughout the entire world. Dozens of goblins popped up from all directions in the forest, looking at the village with ferocious faces. ¡°Wahhh!¡± ¡°¡­¡± As the goblin¡¯s voice sounded, two huge bodies appeared. The tenth wave of invasion. The Goblins had used the combat power of two Bosses and 100 normal Goblins. This was a serious challenge for any team of new professionals! ¡°Interesting.¡± Lin Mo held his shield and greatsword and smiled. If he hadn¡¯t reacted in time, he would have fallen into a trap. ¡°Wahhh!¡± The two Goblin Bosses let out ear-piercing roars when they saw their enemy, Lin Mo. However, at the same time, Lin Mo had no interest in competing with them. He stood in front of the village in case anything went wrong. Soon, the goblin vanguard team rushed over, brandishing their weapons as they charged at Lin Mo. Bang! Bang! Bang! A few attacks landed, but Lin Mo didn¡¯t dodge or dodge them. He then brandished the Hurricane Greatsword. The effect of the Armor of Thorns was quite exaggerated. It directly cut off half of the Goblin¡¯s HP. Coupled with the attack of the Hurricane Greatsword, it was a merciless harvest. ¡°Ding! You have killed a Goblin, experience points +30!¡± ¡°Ding! You have killed a Goblin, experience points +30!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Due to the tenth wave, the normal Goblins had leveled up to Level 5, and the EXP they received was not small. Groups of Goblins rushed forward and fell to the ground. It repeated several times. ¡°So cautious?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s attention had been on the two Bosses. He did not expect them to be so calm. Theydid not come forward and attack. The monsters in the dungeon were not rigid. Their lives were real. There was once a shocking piece of news. In a certain diamond dungeon, the BOSS inside broke through the seal and came to the real world. This phenomenon shocked the entire world! The people who were building a city around the entrance of the instance dungeon were so frightened that they began to demolish the buildings overnight. ¡°A little intelligent, but not too smart.¡± Lin Mo saw through the goblins ¡®tactics at a glance. Goblin wanted to use the human wave tactic to continuously wear down his combat strength. If it was an ordinary team of new professionals, they would definitely be anxious because they could not afford to waste time. The Warrior lost HP, the Priest needed to heal, and healing required SP. Mages also needed to consume magic power. Lin Mo didn¡¯t have to worry about these things and killed nearly 50 goblins. Finally, the two Goblin Bosses could not sit still anymore. One was wielding a long saber while the other was holding an iron shield. They charged Lin Mo with a ferocious aura. ¡°You¡¯re finally willing to make a move.¡± Lin Mo sneered and raised the shield in his hand. Bang! The long blade in the goblin¡¯s hand was the first to smash down. It landed on Lin Mo¡¯s shield and exploded with a shocking sound! Lin Mo was not affected by the huge impact. On the contrary, the Goblin Boss was forced to take a few steps back. In the end, it stabbed its long sword into the ground and stepped on it to offset the inertia. It would never have thought that. Its strength was actually inferior to that of a puny human. The other Goblin Boss didn¡¯t believe it and swung its huge iron shield. Bang! It was the same sound and the same scene. The two Goblin Bosses widened their eyes and began to suspect the monster. Who was the real BOSS? ¡°What are you waiting for? Hit me.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words were filled with provocation. Compared to attacking himself, it was better to use the Armor of Thorns to deal damage. How could the Goblin Boss withstand such humiliation? Both of them roared and gathered all the remaining Goblins to launch a final frenzied attack on Lin Mo. The goblins surrounded Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo¡¯s terrifying HP remained unchanged. ¡°Roar!¡± A goblin suddenly jumped up high and smashed the weapon in its hand at the back of Lin Mo¡¯s head. In the next second, its HP instantly disappeared. It didn¡¯t even know how it died. As for the two Goblin Bosses, every attack was reflected by the Armor of Thorns, and their HP decreased. Even when they fell, they did not consume even one-tenth of Lin Mo¡¯s HP. ¡°Too weak.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. He didn¡¯t even need to do anything to deal with the final stage of the newbie dungeon. The goblins would fall on their own. ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV7 and received 3 free attribute points!¡± 100 Goblins and two Bosses gave him a lot of EXP. His body flashed with golden light and he received another hit. Solo farming was very comfortable. Unlike a team, the experience points from killing monsters would be equally distributed to each team member. If a five-man team cleared the newbie dungeon, their average level would be around level four or five, which was only half of Lin Mo¡¯s. ¡°Ding! Mission completed, please complete the plot guidance!¡± The dungeon notification sounded. Lin Mo cleaned up the battlefield. There was basically nothing he could use, so he threw it into his backpack. ¡°Village Chief, the Goblins have all been dealt with!¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo pushed open the village gate. Following that, the village chief appeared with tears in his eyes. He really did not know how to thank Lin Mo for saving him. He could only hug Lin Mo in her arms and let out muffled sobs. ¡°Village Chief, there¡¯s no need, I¡¯ve dealt with all the goblins,¡± Lin Mo said speechlessly.¡± Hurry up and give me the reward!¡± ¡°OK!¡± The village chief did not waste any time. After wiping his tears, he directly pulled him to the warehouse in the village. When he opened the door, there was a large pile of junk inside. There were livestock feed, old furniture, and so on¡­ Lin Mo almost turned around and left. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Village Chief coughed dryly and smiled awkwardly. ¡°The village¡¯s savings for many years are all here. Come and pick one.¡± As he spoke, he opened a large box, which was filled with all kinds of equipment. Lin Mo¡¯s gaze swept across the area and quickly locked onto a breastplate! [Name: Silver Bell Breastplate] [Quality: Silver] [Level: 7] [Defense: 10] [Strength: 10] [Endurance: 21] [Introduction: The silver light is so dazzling!] ¡­ As a warrior¡¯s defensive equipment, its defensive power was low. But to Lin Mo, what was more important was the 10 points of Strength and 21 points of Endurance? These were the things that would increase his strength even more. After all, with the King¡¯s Divine Shield, the defense wasn¡¯t too important. After choosing the rewards, the dungeon¡¯s storyline ended. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on completing the dungeon quest. Your score is being evaluated¡­Assessment complete!¡± ¡°Your score is SSS!¡± ¡°Ding! The clearing reward will be issued soon¡­¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining 1000 gold coins!¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining the title [Goblin Killer]!¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining Silver Bell Greaves (Silver)!¡± [Congratulations on obtaining Silver Bell Armguard (Silver)] ¡°Congratulations, your Skill Chop has reached Normal Rank-9!¡± ¡°Wow, he even gave me a set?!¡± Lin Mo was extremely satisfied with the continuous sounds. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 11 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW As expected of an SSS-grade reward, it was so rich that Lin Mo could not believe it. The two pieces of Silver equipment matched the Silver Bell Breastplate perfectly. [Name: Silver Bell Set] [1: No effect] [2: +10 Strength, +10 Agility] [3: Every attack has a 30% chance of triggering a flash of light. The damage is fixed at 1000 points!] ¡­ The effect of the set 2 was dispensable, but the set 3 was worth studying. ¡°Not bad.¡± Lin Mo was quite satisfied with this. Even if they were eliminated and sold, the three Silver Bells would still be worth a lot. After equipping the equipment, Lin Mo was now like a serious warrior with a certain demeanor. At the same time, his only two active skills, Slash, had already reached the ordinary level 9. If he wanted to upgrade a low-level skill, he would have to use it. It was to gain proficiency. There were a total of ten levels. After breaking through, one would enter the next level, which was Black Iron. Slash was a basic skill. After this battle, it had been upgraded to rank 9, and the SSS-rank score brought about a lot of benefits. ¡°An SSS-rank evaluation is quite simple, but I have to hurry up and improve in the future.¡± ¡°If I want a better passive skill, I have to go to the black market, but money is still a problem.¡± Lin Mo smiled bitterly. With the existence of the God of Passive System, Lin Mo could easily solo low-level iron-level dungeons. Therefore, he had to travel to various dungeons continuously. As for now, Lin Mo first opened his information panel to check: Name: Lin Mo Level: 7 (3.7%) [Class: Warrior] [HP: 7850] [Magic Power: 220] [Strength: 56] [Agility: 30] [Intelligence: 11] [Endurance: 68] [Talent: Passive God (Unique)] [Active Skills: Slash (Normal Tier 9), Step Back] [Passive Skills: Divine Blade (Supreme God-level), Thorn Armor (Supreme God-level), Sin of Greed (Supreme God-level), King¡¯s Divine Shield (Supreme God-level)] ¡°The sin of greed is truly ridiculous.¡± Lin Mo looked at his 7850 HP and could not help but sigh. Not even a Level 30 Warrior could reach this level of HP, and he was only Level 7! With his high HP and the support of the King¡¯s Divine Shield, Lin Mo was now going to challenge the Boss. With a difference of 5 levels, it was a crushing situation! Among professionals of the same level, 10 warriors could not compare to Lin Mo alone. His damage output was slightly lacking, which was Lin Mo¡¯s only thought. Divine Blade could ignore physical and magic defense, but it did not increase damage. In terms of adding points, Lin Mo had always been meticulous. Other than intelligence, he would point at any shortcomings. Hence, he increased his Agility to 30 points. Strength and Endurance were his strengths, and the Silver Bell Set was even more outstanding. The job-holders could not be careless when it came to adding points in the early stages. This was a matter of great importance for the job transition! If Lin Mo wanted to fight more calmly, he could focus on strength. When he changed classes, he would have the chance to become a Dragon Knight, Berserker, and so on. If it focused on endurance, it would be defense. Lin Mo had already made up his mind. To develop in all aspects, one must dominate in all aspects! When all aspects were balanced, having no shortcomings was equivalent to having all advantages! Without a doubt, it would consume a lot of resources and time. If it was the previous Lin Mo, he would not even dare to think of such a crazy plan. However, now that he had mastered the super god-level passive skill, it was easy for him to solo the dungeon. ¡°This title is not bad.¡± Lin Mo brought the title he had obtained. [Title: Goblin Killer] ¡± Effect 1: Increases NPC¡¯s favorability. The more the NPC hates goblins, the more obvious the effect! ¡± ¡± Effect 2: Goblins have a chance to gain fear when they approach you! ¡± [Introduction: You are the nightmare of countless goblins. They hate and fear you!] It didn¡¯t look like much, but it was quite practical. A title that increases the favorability of NPCs. It could be considered a rare item in the black market! There were thousands of dungeons, and not every dungeon was a type that required battle. If they encountered a dungeon merchant, they could use their title to obtain a discount. Then, they could buy items and materials and sell them on the black market in the real world. ¡°What we should consider now is which academy to go to.¡± Lin Mo chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no one else in the entire Northern City who can get an SSS-rank score.¡± The instance dungeon had ended, but he could still stay for an hour. After an hour, he would be forcefully teleported out of the instance dungeon, but he was not in a hurry. He first returned to the village entrance and began to pay attention to the Goblin¡¯s corpse. He was a child from a poor family after all. Lin Mo did not want to waste these things that were useless to ordinary professionals. There were so many goblin bones and huge boss-level bones. If they were sold, they would fetch at least a few hundred gold coins. It was enough for him to live alone for more than two years! There were too many things that required money to become a professional. Lin Mo¡¯s parents went missing, they didn¡¯t leave behind any information or inheritance. The hardships he had suffered over the years had made him develop the habit of saving. At the same time, at the entrance of the dungeon outside the town, cries of discussion rang out. On the huge screen at the side, the rankings for this year were displayed. ¡°Lin Mo¡­Is he the first?¡± Xu Xin had just gotten out of the car when he noticed the eye-catching name on the screen. There was also a commotion at the scene because the ranking showed that Lin Mo was only one person. This meant that he had cleared the dungeon alone and obtained an SSS-rank evaluation! In second place was the team from the First Middle School, with an A grade! The difference between them was like the difference between heaven and earth! ¡°Which school is this Lin Mo from? How can he get an SSS rating by himself?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know him. How did he do it?¡± ¡°He¡¯s a student from our No.2 Middle School. No.2 Middle School is awesome!¡± ¡°He must have cheated. How could he get an SSS-rank score by himself? Where in the country has such a fierce person appeared?¡± ¡°Unless this guy is the City Lord¡¯s biological son, how could he cheat!¡± ¡°There is, but that is a unique War God.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone was very curious about Lin Mo¡¯s identity, especially the teachers from other schools. In Northern City, the results of the No. 2 Middle School had always been average. It had always been suppressed by the other two middle schools. But this year, the weather had suddenly changed! There was actually a student who could solo a dungeon and obtain an SSS-rank score! ¡°Hurry up and take a look at Lin Mo¡¯s background.¡± The teachers of the First Middle School started to get busy. However, when he looked up Lin Mo¡¯s Black Iron Rank talent, his face instantly turned as black as coal. It was the same for the teachers from other schools. The most excited person was undoubtedly Xu Xin. He had never thought that Lin Mo would actually clear the dungeon! Many students left the instance dungeon one after another. When they saw the rankings, they were all shocked. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 12 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°It¡¯s almost done.¡± Lin Mo looked at the 1,000 or so Goblin Bones in his backpack with satisfaction. Before choosing the option to leave the dungeon, he changed his equipment into casual clothes. As a sense of weightlessness came over him, he heard an earth-shattering argument. ¡°He¡¯s really awesome, isn¡¯t he? This guy will definitely be our Northern City¡¯s top scorer this year!¡± ¡°Who knows him? I want an autograph and a photo!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t push me, I want to see who this powerful person is!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The intense scene in front of him made Lin Mo a little confused. Then, he remembered that when the dungeon score was out, it would be calculated. Therefore, his results were already displayed on the screen beside the entrance of the instance dungeon. Looking at the noisy crowd around the dungeon, Lin Mo was at a loss. He didn¡¯t want to expose it because of this and invite trouble. The competitive relationship between professionals was not too exaggerated, but once the so-called genius professionals appeared, it was easy to attract jealousy and cause trouble. Over the years, there had been no less than ten outstanding professionals in the Dragon Country who had been killed by other countries. Lin Mo had only just started to understand this. However, he had to be careful. At this moment, a team appeared behind Lin Mo. They looked confused, clearly not understanding the situation. ¡°What are these people doing?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Are they cheering for us?¡± Ma Li, a brawny man who looked a little smart, laughed and said, ¡°Our score is also quite good!¡± ¡°Indeed!¡± A few of them were instantly filled with confidence. Lin Mo recognized them as students from the same school. Moreover, they were also slightly famous in the school. Among them, Ma Li was a warrior who had awakened a gold-tier talent. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this that unlucky Lin Mo?¡± When Ma Li saw Lin Mo, he went forward and asked with a smile, ¡°Why are you alone? Don¡¯t you have any teammates?¡± The other team members looked at him with disdain and ridicule. ¡°How pitiful. After awakening a Black Iron Rank talent, you can¡¯t even find a team now. If you say something nice, we might be able to bring you in.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯re all classmates. You¡¯re welcome.¡± A few of them spoke with a hint of mockery, and Lin Mo was quite helpless about the specific reason. In the Second Middle School, Lin Mo, who was in the same year as him, was a top student. He was always at the top in the exams. As a result, he was also remembered by the people in class one and inexplicably treated as an opponent. Now they have finally embarked on the path of professionals, and due to Lin Mo¡¯s black iron-level talent, they finally managed to catch up with a breath of fresh air. ¡°No need. Congratulations on your good results. If you don¡¯t mind, how about taking a group photo?¡± Lin Mo smiled. Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo to be so ambitious. As the saying went: ¡°Never strike a smiling face¡±, no one objected. Lin Mo took out his phone and took a photo with Ma Li. This scene was undoubtedly noticed by the people outside the arena, and they immediately reacted. ¡°Is that Lin Mo?¡± ¡°That¡¯s possible. Otherwise, why would they start taking photos for no reason?¡± ¡°Lin Mo is Northern City¡¯s top scorer this year. It¡¯d be great if we could get a photo together!¡± ¡°Shall we go together?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly. We won¡¯t be able to seize the opportunity later!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Soon, a group of people rushed toward the dungeon entrance. After taking the photo, Lin Mo put away his phone and said to Ma Li, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°No need to thank me.¡± Ma Li scratched his head and laughed loudly. ¡°In the future, if you¡¯re bullied, just shout my name. Who knows, I might even be able to save your life.¡± However, Lin Mo slipped away quietly after he finished speaking because he could already see the dense crowd pouring in. It wouldn¡¯t be long before he was surrounded. Ma Li was caught off guard by such a loud scene. He naively thought that everyone was cheering for him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone!¡± Ma Li barely managed to stand in the crowd while signing autographs and taking photos. The other teammates were dumbfounded. ¡°We¡¯re all from the same team. Why is he so popular?¡± The mages in the team were quite dissatisfied. The others couldn¡¯t figure out the situation either. They kept feeling that something was wrong. Soon, someone shouted with an autograph,¡± F * ck, this guy isn¡¯t Lin Mo. Brothers, we¡¯ve been tricked! ¡± Hearing this, everyone dispersed. Ma Li, who had stayed where he was, felt extremely awkward. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Are they here for Lin Mo?¡± The others shook their heads, looking at him with a confused expressions. Until a few students from the same school arrived, ¡°Have you seen Lin Mo?¡± They were Lin Mo¡¯s classmates. When they found out about Lin Mo¡¯s results, they were as incredulous as Ma Li and the others. However, after they reacted, they rushed over without stoppingand tried to cozy up to her. After all, Lin Mo didn¡¯t have a team yet. If he could rope them in, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about the college entrance examination this year! However, Lin Mo had not gone far. He was selling goblin bones at a stall. ¡°That many?¡± The stall owner looked at the pile of goblin bones and smiled. ¡°There are only two sets left. There are still nine more sets. Give me a suitable price.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take all three hundred gold coins!¡± ¡°The price of this bone isn¡¯t that low.¡± ¡°Fine, you know your stuff. Then I¡¯ll reluctantly accept 500 gold coins.¡± ¡°600 gold coins. If it¡¯s any less, I¡¯ll have to go to the black market in the city.¡± ¡°Alright, alright.¡± The stall owner helplessly took out a gray card with the remaining 600 gold coins. Money on the hand, goods on the hand. With so many goblin bones, Lin Mo could sell them for more than 800 gold coins in the black market. However, the efficiency was too low, and it usually took up space in the backpack. After completing the transaction, Lin Mo turned around and prepared to take the bus back to Northern City to register his results. There was a record of clearing an instance dungeon. Now, Lin Mo only needed to set the SSS-rank score that he had just obtained as his college entrance examination score. Then, he could complete the procedures and wait for the arrival of the student recruitment meeting. However, before he could take a few steps, a few familiar classmates rushed over. Along with them was the team from Class One. Ma Li and the others did not believe it when they heard that Lin Mo¡¯s dungeon score was SSS. ¡°You said Lin Mo¡¯s score is SSS?¡± ¡°Then I¡¯m SSSS-level!¡± Ma Li said disdainfully. The students of Class Five were helpless. They really wanted to retort, but coincidentally, the screen displaying the dungeon rankings had malfunctioned and was in the midst of emergency repairs. This wasn¡¯t a rare thing. Every year at this time, the ranking system would be overcrowded. When they found Lin Mo, they immediately surrounded him with joy. ¡°Brother Lin, how did you get an SSS-rank score in a solo dungeon?!¡± ¡°I usually feel that your basic skills are solid in class. It¡¯s not too late for me to learn from you now, right?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Everyone¡¯s words made Lin Mo laugh. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 13 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°Everyone knows the basic skills. It¡¯s fine as long as you¡¯re familiar with your combat strength. The newbie dungeon is not difficult. As long as everyone has a good grasp of the rhythm, it will be very easy to clear the dungeon.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice rang out. It was especially ear-piercing to the students of Class One. Their team was made up of the most elite professionals in the first class, and all of them had gold-level talents!Under their extraordinary performance, he obtained an S-rank score! With such results, it could be said that it was easy for him to go to a first-class university. There was no problem at all. As an S-grade team, they were the clearest. Just how terrifying was the tenth wave of invasion? They had prepared a lot of potions and other external items for this, and they had barely cleared the dungeon with all their might. The value of the items they spent exceeded 100,000 gold coins! But now, they were told that Lin Mo had obtained an SSS-rank score! And he was alone without a teammate! ¡°I say, your class five really doesn¡¯t know how to brag. Lin Mo, you¡¯re not spreading fake news because you¡¯re afraid of being looked down upon, are you?¡± Ma Li sneered. Hearing this, Lin Mo shrugged. He did not want to explain further. After all, if he had a choice, he did not want to show his face. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Vice-principal?!¡± Ma Li gulped, feeling a little excited. As a student of No.2 Middle School, he knew the school¡¯s situation the best. Now that their class had obtained an S grade score, it could be said that they could hold their heads high! There was another figure beside Vice Principal Xu Xin. It was Class Five¡¯s form teacher, Li Mei. She was still recuperating at home. When she found out about Lin Mo¡¯s results, he was dumbfounded: SSS-rank dungeon clearance rating! To be able to obtain such a result, he would definitely be an outstanding existence in the college entrance examination! However, she had clearly heard Lin Mo had a Black Iron Rank talent. With such talent, even if he was a warrior, wasn¡¯t it a little unrealistic to clear a dungeon alone? As Lin Mo¡¯s form teacher, for the past three years, she had a good understanding of it. Because Lin Mo¡¯s parents went missing, Li Mei was especially concerned about Lin Mo and often sent him lunch and fruit. Lin Mo was also very hardworking. He had obtained good results in the basic knowledge and training of his profession. Li Mei was delighted. However, when she heard the bad news of Lin Mo awakening to Black Iron Rank, she felt a little sad. But now, a colleague told her that Lin Mo had obtained an SSS-rank dungeon score. Her first reaction was doubt, shock, and confusion. That was why she forced herself to come to the town to take a look. ¡°Teacher Li!¡± Lin Mo immediately went forward to support Li Mei and said, ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Li Mei smiled. A month ago, she was attacked by a monster in the wild. Her body was attacked, causing her to suffer from a serious illness. However, in this world, they could all receive good treatment. She only needed to rest for a period of time. ¡°Lin Mo, you¡­¡± Li Mei had just opened her mouth to ask Lin Mo how he had managed to get an SSS score by himself, but she immediately shut her mouth after she reacted. Almost every year, she would repeatedly emphasize that professionals had to keep a low profile and not show off just because they had some skills. It was easy to be remembered or envied. After all, every professional had their own secrets. Therefore, this question should not have been asked from the beginning. ¡°Mrs. Li, Lin Mo is the top scorer in Northern City this time. As the form teacher, you¡¯ve contributed a lot.¡± ¡°Looks like you¡¯ll have to split quite a bit of this year¡¯s bonus!¡± Xu Xin said with a smile. These words rang out, Ma Li and the others, who were standing at the side, finally understood that what the students of Class Five said was true! Lin Mo had actually cleared the newbie dungeon alone and obtained an SSS-rank score! Now, looking back at the S-rank score that he was so proud of, it seemed that it could not compare to Lin Mo¡¯s finger. Recalling his previous words and disdain, he felt extremely ashamed and angry. ¡°Lin Mo, do your best.¡± Li Mei hugged Lin Mo excitedly and said in relief, ¡°Talent isn¡¯t everything for a professional. You will definitely be able to break the Black Iron Rank¡¯s curse!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Mo nodded. He was extremely respectful to his homeroom teacher. After all, this was a teacher who treated him like family even at the lowest point of his life. After that, Li Mei got into the car and was sent home by Xu Xin. Lin Mo also returned to Northern City. After confirming that the SSS grade was the result of the college entrance examination, he returned home. He lived in an old community. There were almost no young people inside. They were all ordinary retired old people. ¡°Lin, how was the college entrance examination today?¡± ¡°With Little Lin¡¯s intelligence, she will definitely do well!¡± ¡°What do you know? The college entrance exam for job holders isn¡¯t about intelligence!¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry at everyone¡¯s concern. The old neighborhood lacked everything, but it didn¡¯t lack human touch. Lin Mo, who was a neighbor, helped everyone a lot. Everyone took good care of Lin Mo, who was alone, just like their form teacher, Li Mei. After returning to the empty house, Lin Mo had an ordinary dinner and lay in bed, deep in thought. His main goal was to find a way to use the passive system of God in the most efficient way. Without a doubt, the acquisition of passive skills could not rely solely on dungeon rewards. He turned on his phone and logged into the black market¡¯s website to filter out the existing passive skill books. A slightly more practical passive skill would cost more than 500,000 gold coins! Even the lowest price was over a hundred thousand gold coins. He only had 1000 gold coins from clearing the dungeon and 600 from selling the goblin bones. Together, they couldn¡¯t even afford the most trashy book. This was normal. Other than the existence of the most essential skills, skill books were one of the things that were in the greatest demand in this world, and also one of the rarest things! It was also very simple to obtain wealth. The legal method was to continuously clear various dungeons and obtain equipment, skill books, materials, and so on from them ¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s current level was relatively low, so he had a lot of limitations. ¡°There¡¯s still the top prize money to make up for the university tuition fees.¡± ¡°As for the rest, I must find a way to earn money myself.¡± Lin Mo lay on the bed and smiled bitterly. There were also a few pieces of Black Iron and Bronze equipment scattered in his backpack. If he sold them, he could earn thousands of gold coins. There were too many things that required money to become a professional. But no matter what, having a super god-level passive skill that could automatically level up any low-grade passive skill was Lin Mo¡¯s greatest advantage! Naturally, he only needed to buy low-level passive skills. There was no need to waste money to buy high-level passive skills.

Chapter 14 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW The night was still long. Lin Mo lay in bed and flipped through the black market. He was very envious of these passive skills, especially those that increased attack power or skill amplification. These passive skills were especially expensive. Even Bronze Rank would cost millions of gold coins. As for passive skills above Silver Rank, they were even more practical. They easily cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions. ¡°No wonder Dad and Mom can¡¯t save up.¡± Lin Mo smiled bitterly. After all, his family was made up of two professionals, but in the end, they had no savings. It was enough to prove that professionals were not as glorious as they looked on the surface. The two days of the college entrance examination passed very quickly. Early in the morning, Lin Mo returned to school to attend the last course before graduation. In the classroom, the students were both happy and worried about their college entrance examination results. Some had obtained an A grade score and had the chance to enter a first-rate university, while others had attempted two rounds of instance dungeons and obtained a C grade score, only entering second-rate universities. With Lin Mo¡¯s appearance, he instantly became the focus of the class. ¡°Lin Mo, did you watch the television? You¡¯re the top scorer in Northern City this year!¡± ¡°Oh my god, you can even play with a Black Iron Rank talent and become the top scorer. If I give you a Gold Rank talent, wouldn¡¯t it be heaven-defying?¡± ¡°¡­¡± For the entire Northern City, the college entrance examination was undoubtedly the most important day. Lin Mo¡¯s name could be said to be a household name, but most people were skeptical of Lin Mo¡¯s results. However, Lin Mo did not have to go out to work during the hard-earned vacation. He slept at home for two days and did not care about these things at all. It was indeed quite amazing to clear the dungeon alone and obtain an SSS-rank score. However, this matter did not receive the attention of the entire country. Because Northern City was only a small city, it could not even be considered a third-tier city. As a newbie dungeon for the examination, it was also lower than other cities. The only highlight was the solo game. ¡°Lin Mo, why didn¡¯t I realize that you were so strong before?¡± A young man in a long black robe walked up to Lin Mo and asked suspiciously, ¡°Do you want to spar with me and let me understand your combat skills?¡± While the entire Northern City was shocked by Lin Mo¡¯s results, someone pointed out that there was an error in the ranking system. There were many voices like this. Northern City quickly sent out a notice to confirm that there were no other factors interfering with the dungeon and that Lin Mo¡¯s results were valid. However, as classmates who had spent three years together, the black-robed youth clearly did not believe that Lin Mo had the ability to do so! He wanted to verify it personally. Lin Mo shrugged and smiled. ¡°Not interested.¡± ¡°Are you scared?¡± The black-robed youth raised his eyebrows and sneered, ¡°Just one match. If you win, I¡¯ll give you 100,000 gold coins. I, Lu Bu, lack everything except money! ¡± Lu Bu was a well-known rich second-generation heir in his class. His parents were businessmen in Northern City and owned three commercial streets. He was usually sloppy, but his talent was not bad. On the day of awakening, he obtained a gold-grade talent and changed his profession to an assassin. When the surrounding students heard this, they were extremely excited. They were also very curious about Lin Mo¡¯s strength to be able to obtain an SSS-rank dungeon score with his Black Iron Rank talent. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Lin Mo smiled helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s not about money.¡± ¡°200,000!¡± Lu Bu raised the bid again and said confidently, ¡°I know your family background. If you lose, I¡¯ll give it all to you!¡± In his eyes, Lin Mo was just a fool who only knew how to study. He had often teased Lin Mo with this. Now that he had undergone such a drastic change and had become a genius warrior who had turned the tide in the eyes of countless students in the school, Lu Bu could not sit still at all! ¡°Do you really want to fight me that badly? Warriors can¡¯t compare to assassins in one-on-one combat in the early stages,¡± Lin Mo said, deliberately lowering his stance. Although he said that, Lin Mo was actually quite tempted by the 200,000 yuan that Lu Bu had promised. Lu Bu was so generous. Let alone 200,000 gold coins, even if it was 100,000 gold coins, with the profits obtained from the iron-level dungeon, it would take at least a dozen times to obtain that many gold coins. Based on his understanding of Lu Bu, as long as he showed weakness, he would definitely continue to raise the stakes! Lin Mo naturally wouldn¡¯t reject a rich second-generation heir who came to give him money. The surrounding students expressed their agreement. ¡°Indeed. Assassins are already powerful in the early stages of a duel.¡± ¡°In my opinion, it¡¯s normal for Lin Mo to not agree. If the assassin had intended to do so, the warrior wouldn¡¯t have been able to get close at all and would have been exhausted to death.¡± ¡°Lu Bu, don¡¯t make things difficult for Lin Mo. If you don¡¯t listen to me and study hard, how can a warrior fight an assassin?¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Hearing this, Lu Bu¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he sneered at Lin Mo. Of course, he knew that an assassin had a huge advantage over a warrior. That was why he dared to spend a lot of money to try and provoke a showdown with Lin Mo. So what if he was the top scorer? As long as he defeated Lin Mo, he would be stronger than the top scorer! Lin Mo also knew what Lu Bu was planning, so he smiled without saying a word. ¡°500,000!¡± Lu Bu shouted with narrowed eyes, ¡°If you win, it¡¯s yours. If you lose, I don¡¯t want a single cent from you!¡± As soon as he said this, the students beside him were slightly tempted. 500,000 gold coins was a huge temptation for most people. Most importantly, there was no punishment for losing. ¡°Since you insist on competing, I¡¯ll reluctantly accompany you this time.¡± Lin Mo pretended to be helpless and followed Lu Bu to the school¡¯s dueling dungeon. Before entering, Lu Bu whispered to his lackey, ¡°Spread the news. The bigger the commotion, the better!¡± ¡°What if you lose? Lin Mo is Northern City¡¯s top scholar,¡± the lackey said softly. ¡°Bullsh * t!¡± Lu Bu scolded, ¡°No matter how powerful he is, can he even get close to me?¡± In a one-on-one fight between a Warrior and an Assassin, there was absolutely no turning point in the early stages. Only after the various attributes of the Warriors were enhanced in the later stages could they use the advantage of their skills to counter the flexibility of the Assassins. ¡°I¡¯ll go in first.¡± Lin Mo left behind this sentence and then disappeared from the spot through the light screen of the battle dungeon. Lu Bu followed closely behind. Battle dungeons were places where students trained on a daily basis. Whether it was their levels or attributes, they would be forced to balance on the same level. Lin Mo checked his information and realized that his level had been reduced to level 5. It meant that he belonged to the higher side and was forcefully suppressed. Level attributes would be suppressed, but skills would not. ¡°Are you ready?¡± ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± Both sides pressed the button to get ready, and a three-second countdown appeared in their vision. The moment the number hit zero, Lu Bu immediately switched out his equipment and released the Assassin skill, Gale Steps. The sharp dagger in his hand rushed towards Lin Mo. Lin Mo, on the other hand, did not move at all. He took out his battle flag and shield to protect himself. But Lu Bu was not an idiot. The moment he got close to Lin Mo, he turned around with extremely agile steps and the dagger landed directly on Lin Mo¡¯s waist. ¡°We¡¯re done for!¡± Outside the instance dungeon, a female student covered her face and said,¡± I knew it! Warriors can¡¯t fight Assassins! Early-stage Assassins are too shameless! ¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 15 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Lu Bu¡¯s expression was ferocious. As an Assassin, he had used the skill with the highest damage at the moment, [Blood Thorn]. Not only did it have the effect of reducing damage, but it also had the effect of reducing defense! This skill was a Bronze Active Skill that his family had spent millions of gold coins and spent two years to purchase! However, its weakness was also very obvious. It had a 15-minute cooldown time, so it was destined to be used as a trump card. Therefore, from the very beginning, he had planned to use a lightning-fast method to get rid of Lin Mo! In his eyes, Lin Mo was simply too weak to withstand a single blow. The damage of the [Blood Thorn] and the Bronze Dagger could cause at least 400 to 500 damage! Lin Mo was a warrior with a Black Iron Rank talent. His HP would not be more than 500, and he would definitely suffer a fatal blow! However, just as the dagger was about to land, Lu Bu¡¯s body suddenly stopped as if an invisible force had entered his body. His vision turned black and he was teleported to the entrance of the dungeon. Meanwhile, the students who were observing outside the entrance of the instance dungeon widened their eyes in disbelief. ¡°Where¡¯s Lu Bu¡¯s HP? What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°It ended in an instant?¡± ¡°I clearly saw Lu Bu¡¯s dagger fall. How did Lu Bu get killed instantly?!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Everyone saw it clearly. It was Lu Bu who had attacked. The dagger had landed on Lin Mo, but the result was completely different, He was defeated in a battle instance dungeon. He would be forcefully teleported to the entrance of the dungeon, and the person standing in front of the entrance was Lu Bu! Lu Bu stood rooted to the ground, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. ¡°I ¡­lost?¡± He didn¡¯t even realize how he lost. Meanwhile, Lin Mo, who was in the battle dungeon, was teleported out after clicking the exit button. At this moment, everyone who had reacted was in an uproar. ¡°Lin Mo, how did you do it?!¡± ¡°How heaven-defying! A Warrior actually killed an Assassin in an instant! Lin Mo is awesome!¡± ¡°Lin Mo, did he use a hidden weapon?¡± At this moment, a student asked, ¡°You didn¡¯t make a move, and the damage is extremely high. It¡¯s impossible for a warrior to do this unless you¡¯re using a high-grade hidden weapon!¡± ¡°How is that possible? It¡¯s not like everyone doesn¡¯t know about Lin Mo¡¯s family background.¡± ¡°What if it was left behind by his parents?¡± ¡°Indeed, there is such a possibility!¡± From what everyone said, they were almost certain that Lin Mo was using hidden weapons. In response, Lin Mo only smiled. Lu Bu¡¯s skill did indeed deal high damage, but in front of the Armor of Thorns, high damage was not a good thing. He was instantly killed by his own skill. It even happened to trigger the damage immunity effect of the King¡¯s Divine Shield. Lin Mo¡¯s HP did not decrease at all, and the battle ended. Coincidentally, Lu Bu¡¯s lackey had just called a large group of students over to join in the fun. However, he looked at Lu Bu and Lin Mo outside the arena. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just go in? Why did you come out again?¡± The lackey was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s there to enter? It¡¯s all over!¡± ¡°That fast?¡± ¡°Then who won?¡± the lackey asked hurriedly. ¡°Look at the battle history yourself.¡± A student pointed at the screen beside the battle instance dungeon. The names of Lin Mo and Lu Bu were clearly registered on it, and the word ¡®victory¡¯ appeared beside Lin Mo¡¯s name. ¡°Brother Lu has lost¡­¡± The corner of the lackey¡¯s mouth twitched. He looked at the large group of people he had pulled over and immediately regretted it. The students who had just arrived were disappointed when they heard that the battle had ended. However, when the students of Class 5 told them everything, they could not help but be stunned on the spot. In the early stages, it was very easy for an assassin to kill a warrior instantly. After all, the Warriors weren¡¯t strong in the early stages. This battle was the exact opposite. It was the Warrior who had killed the Assassin in an instant. ¡°Lu Bu is really asking for trouble. He actually gave 500,000 gold coins to Lin Mo for nothing!¡± ¡°Hahaha, I knew that Lin Mo must have some special means to clear the dungeon alone. So it was left behind by his parents. This is not strange at all.¡± ¡°Indeed, I heard that Lin Mo¡¯s parents are rank seven archers and swordsmen.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Amidst the clamor of the crowd, Lu Bu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot. 500,000 gold coins. This sum of money was not a small sum in his eyes. Over the years, his family had spent no less than ten million to prepare his career path. And these 500,000 gold coins were specifically for him to buy equipment. He was unwilling to give it to Lin Mo for free! ¡°One more time!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you a million if you lose!¡± Lu Bu gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice. He didn¡¯t believe that Lin Mo still had a high-grade hidden weapon that could instantly kill him! Hidden weapons were things that could be bought with 1 gold coin, and the better ones could be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins. Just like what they had speculated Lin Mo would use. It was at least a gold-grade hidden weapon, at least ten million gold coins! Even a family like Lu Bu¡¯s didn¡¯t have the capital to use such a consumable. ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t take out 500,000 gold coins?¡± ¡°Bullshit, I can give you money immediately!¡± As he spoke, Lu Bu hurriedly took out his phone and immediately transferred 500,000 yuan to Lin Mo. At the same time, a text message came from his phone. 500,000 yuan had been transferred to his account. Lin Mo sighed at Lu Bu¡¯s wealth. In that case¡­There was even less need for him to get entangled with Lu Bu. ¡°Stop!¡± Seeing that Lin Mo was about to leave, Lu Bu immediately rushed forward to stop him. He was prepared for another battle. However, Lin Mo suddenly stopped smiling and said with a severe expression, ¡°Lu Bu, we¡¯re all classmates who have gone through hardships together. We shouldn¡¯t be fighting each other.¡± Hearing this, Lu Bu was stunned. Before he could flare up, a hand was placed on his shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t bother me, I¡¯m busy!¡± Lu Bu didn¡¯t have the time to care about the others and flung his hand away. However, that familiar voice sounded. ¡°Lu Bu, I think your skin is itching!¡± The homeroom teacher, Li Mei, grabbed Lu Bu¡¯s shoulder and said in a dignified voice, ¡°Today is graduation day. I don¡¯t want to see your parents. You¡¯d better behave yourself!¡± ¡°Mrs. Li?¡± As a model student, Lu Bu was often lectured by Li Mei. Like a mouse meeting a cat, he instantly became extremely obedient. Seeing this, the surrounding students all secretly laughed at Lu Bu. ¡°And you guys, what are you doing here?¡± Li Mei shouted, ¡± Hurry up and return to the classroom. If you¡¯re one step slower, I¡¯ll give you your last graduation present. You¡¯ll be punished by copying the professional code a hundred times!¡± Although everyone had already become professionals, they were still students after all. How could they dare to challenge their teacher¡¯s authority? They quickly returned to the classroom and sat upright. Li Mei returned to the classroom and walked up to the podium. Then, she smiled at everyone with satisfaction. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 16 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW As it was the last day of class at the Second Middle School, Li Mei stood on the podium and sighed. The students he had taught for three years had finally grown up. They were about to take charge! This was especially true for Lin Mo. A student in such a difficult situation had actually brought her an unexpected surprise. ¡°Tomorrow will be the National Student Recruitment Meeting. Everyone, remember not to be late!¡± ¡°According to the characteristics of each profession, everyone can freely choose the institution that corresponds to their results. For example, the profession of mage is a hot topic that all the institutions are vying for.¡± ¡°The other professionals don¡¯t need to be discouraged. All the students in the class did well in the college entrance examination!¡± ¡°¡­..¡± As Li Mei spoke, Lin Mo, who was sitting in the back row, looked down at his phone. His slender fingers tapped quickly and opened the black market¡¯s official website. He had just received 500,000 yuan, but it was not a small sum of money. However, this was not enough to buy a passive skill that he liked. He might as well use it to upgrade his equipment. As a warrior, naturally, when choosing equipment, ¡®defense¡¯ was indispensable. However, Lin Mo directly blocked the option of ¡®defense¡¯. He had the Super God-level passive skill, King¡¯s Divine Shield. There was no longer a need to pursue defense. He only needed to attack even more intensely! Every student who entered a university was preparing hard for this. Naturally, Lin Mo would not fall behind. Soon, he found a few pieces of suitable equipment. However, warrior equipment related to attack was not cheap compared to pure defensive equipment. It was a Level 7 Bronze Earrings that increased 30 points of Attack Power, Agility, and Strength. Selling price: 300,000 gold coins! ¡°So expensive.¡± Lin Mo sighed. Such equipment would at most be an addition, and it was completely not worth the price. Then, he went to check the other equipment. Lu Bu, who was sitting not far away, noticed this scene. He gritted his teeth, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. That was all his money! Thinking of the humiliation just now, he was so angry that his chest felt a dull pain. At the same time, the form teacher, Li Mei, stood on the high platform and suddenly said,¡±While I¡¯m not around, you guys continue to work hard. I¡¯m very good, especially Lin Mo!¡± Lin Mo stood up after his name was called. ¡°Everyone has witnessed Lin Mo¡¯s hard work over the years. Let¡¯s give him a round of applause!¡± Thunderous applause erupted in the classroom. Many students cast envious looks at him. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that our class would have a top scorer!¡± ¡°Hahaha, we¡¯ll be classmates of the top scorer in the future. It¡¯ll be so embarrassing!¡± ¡°With Lin Mo¡¯s results, he¡¯ll definitely be accepted by a top school.¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Everyone cheered! ¡°Not necessarily.¡± Lu Bu sneered.¡±Top universities value their students ¡®talent the most. After all, this determines the upper limit of a profession. The upper limit of a Black Iron Rank¡­Haha.¡± An untimely voice sounded. ¡°Lu Bu, if you don¡¯t know how to speak, then don¡¯t speak!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if Lin Mo can¡¯t go to a top-tier school, it¡¯s more than enough for him to go to a first-tier school!¡± ¡°I think Lu Bu is just thinking about his 500,000 gold coins. His heart must be aching!¡± Lu Bu¡¯s face turned ashen with laughter. Meanwhile, Lin Mo had already sat down and was busy picking up his equipment. ¡°This is not bad!¡± He clicked on a piece of equipment and looked at the specific information: [Name: Sound Necklace] [Quality: Silver] [Level: 7] [Magic Power: 150] [Attack: 30] [Intelligence: 9] [Strength: 8] [Endurance: 11] [Introduction: Upper-class decorations can often make people¡¯s eyes light up!] ¡­ This Silver accessory was relatively cheap, only costing 300,000 gold coins. The specific reason was obvious: As an accessory, the attributes it increased were a mess. No matter which class used it, it would be a waste to throw it away. Mages looked down on it, and the Warriors would shake their heads when they saw the 150 points of mana. However, Lin Mo did not mind at all. He bought it directly and it would be delivered to his door in the afternoon. The remaining 200,000 yuan was not idle. He also casually bought some miscellaneous equipment, increasing his attack power by a little. After all, it was a waste to leave the equipment bar empty. After a while, the 500,000 gold coins could be said to have been spent cleanly. Soon, the last class in No.2 Middle School came to an end. Every student was reluctant to part with each other and was about to step into their different professional lives. ¡°Let¡¯s compete again!¡± Lu Bu was still in hot pursuit, trying to compete with Lin Mo. ¡°You still have money?¡± ¡± You¡¯re about to graduate, ¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. ¡± You should save some money for yourself to buy a few pieces of equipment. ¡± ¡°I ¡­¡± Lu Bu¡¯s face turned red when he spoke of his sore spot. He could not refute it at all. He had already lost 500,000 gold coins, and he would be scolded when he returned. If he lost another 500,000 gold coins, he would probably be beaten up. Then, Lin Mo left with a silent smile. In the classroom, everyone was reluctant to part, and the class teacher Li Mei could not help but have tears in her eyes. Lin Mo also left the school amidst the congratulations of his classmates. It was already noon when he returned home. After finishing his meal, Lin Mo took an afternoon nap. Unknowingly, the doorbell rang. A few pieces of equipment bought from the black market were delivered to his door. Lin Mo eagerly accepted them and opened the box. [Necklace of Sound] was like a bright ruby, crystal clear. After equipping it, all attributes would increase. As for the rest of the equipment, they were basically of different colors. When Lin Mo switched to equipment mode, they looked very strange and funny. The white color of the Silver Bell Set made people¡¯s eyes light up. It was like a knight¡¯s demeanor. However, when paired with the green gloves and the pirate-like hat, even Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched when he saw it. So be it. Anyway, he usually wore casual clothes and would not be seen in the instance dungeon. In the afternoon, Lin Mo did not idle around and began to search for information about the various universities. In the current Northern City official forum, dozens of posts were refreshed every minute. It was all filled with anticipation and hesitation for tomorrow¡¯s student recruitment meet. This was because the student recruitment meeting was not about the students choosing the school, but the school choosing the students instead. For example, if a student got an A grade, but because of his talent, he did not meet the requirements of the school, then he would be eliminated. Therefore, the discussion about Lin Mo on the forum was extremely intense. If this year¡¯s top scholar of the Northern City did not qualify for a top university because of his Black Iron Rank, he would definitely become a laughing stock for countless people. This year, Northern City was in the limelight throughout the country. Not only did Lin Mo stand out, but there were also two teams that had obtained S rank scores. Both teams had professionals with platinum talents, which made countless students admire them. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 17 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW The next morning, Lin Mo went out after washing up and headed to school. On the familiar street, the topic of discussion of every pedestrian could not be separated from the student recruitment meeting. The entrance of the Second Middle School was already crowded with all kinds of luxury cars. Meanwhile, the reporters from Northern City had already arrived at the scene. For a moment, All the television stations in Northern City were broadcasting the student recruitment meet live. ¡°Everyone might not have heard of the first place in the college entrance examination of the Northern City of the Dragon Country this year.¡± ¡°His name is Lin Mo, and he¡¯s the top scorer with an SSS-rank evaluation!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a student from Northern City¡¯s No. 2 Middle School¡¯s Class 5.¡± ¡°What¡¯s unbelievable is that Lin Mo¡¯s awakened talent is actually not ideal. It¡¯s only Black Iron Rank!¡± ¡°The second place is Lu Ming, a student from Northern City¡¯s No.1 High School. He has a Platinum-level talent and obtained an S-rank score in this college entrance examination¡­¡± The reporters were broadcasting live at the entrance of the Second Middle School. Lin Mo happened to pass by. Hearing those words, Lin Mo smiled helplessly and walked into the campus. With the announcement of the results, the people watching the live broadcast at home almost thought that they had come to a prank TV show. The headlines of all the major newspapers were all about Lin Mo. Furthermore, he had already been ridiculed as the most motivating job-holder on the internet! Black Iron Rank became the top scorer? What could be more inspiring for other professionals than this? In the school office, Xu Xin was extremely excited. It was as if he was the student who had gotten the top scorer. ¡°Is the principal back yet?¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°Then he will definitely be shocked when he comes back.¡± ¡°Lin Mo is the first top scorer in our No. 2 Middle School to get an SSS grade in the college entrance examination!¡± Xu Xin stood up and laughed. The teachers present cast envious looks at Li Mei. To be able to teach a top scholar not only would she be able to get a generous year-end, but would also get more hidden benefits. Li Mei, who had just recovered from a serious illness, noticed everyone¡¯s burning gazes and felt a little embarrassed. At the same time, Lin Mo had already arrived at the waiting area. He looked around at the busy people in boredom. The Year 1 and 2 students were leaning against the outer railing. When they saw Lin Mo, they were instantly excited. ¡°That¡¯s Lin Mo?!¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be too late to ask for an autograph now, right?¡± ¡°He¡¯s also a little handsome.¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Their words had no effect on Lin Mo, and he was quickly chased away by the teacher on duty. After receiving congratulations from the teachers, Li Mei found Lin Mo. ¡°Lin Mo, how are you feeling?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± ¡°Mrs. Li, do you think there will be a problem?¡± Lin Mo rubbed the back of his neck and smiled bitterly. ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Li Mei said calmly, ¡± Every year, the top scorer only gets an SS grade. You¡¯ve already won against them too much. You have to have confidence in yourself! ¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Lin Mo smiled. However, there was no smoke without fire. There was already news. Top universities had extremely high requirements for talent. For example, a few days ago, a student had awakened a platinum-level talent, but the results of the college entrance examination were abnormally poor. He only got a B-level score. However, even so, it was still a target for top universities. Rating¡­Perhaps in the eyes of the top universities, talent was not as important. ¡°Prepare well. You¡¯ll be too worried.¡± Li Mei patted Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder before finally revealing his intentions, ¡°The school will give you a scholarship of one million yuan for your college entrance examination results. Lin Mo, you have to make good use of this opportunity!¡± ¡°One million yuan scholarship?!¡± Lin Mo was stunned. In the past, the scholarship for first place in the school was only 100,000 yuan. This year, it had actually increased tenfold! ¡°You got an SSS-rank score that shocked the vice-principal. One million isn¡¯t too much. ¡± ¡± You deserve all this, ¡± Li Mei encouraged. ¡± It¡¯ll be in your account tonight.¡± Happiness came too suddenly. Lin Mo did not expect to suddenly have a million yuan in savings. After Li Mei came to tell him the good news, she went to the school gate to prepare to welcome the recruitment staff. Lu Bu also arrived at school early. Coincidentally, he bumped into Lin Mo and recalled the grievances and anger she felt yesterday. ¡°I¡¯m not a gentleman if I don¡¯t take revenge!¡± Lu Bu¡¯s tone was filled with anger. It was obvious that he had been scolded by his family for the entire night because he had lost 500,000 gold coins. Lin Mo smiled and shrugged, not paying too much attention to it. Lu Bu was angry and indignant, but he could not say a word after holding it in for a long time. In the end, he could only stomp his feet and leave angrily. Out of sight, out of mind. Very soon, official cars arrived at the school gate one after another, attracting the attention of countless people. Third-rate universities, second-rate universities, first-rate universities, and top-rate universities were all gathered together. This was a grand scene that could only be seen once a year! In previous years, the recruitment meeting would be held in the school where the top scorer was. Because of Lin Mo this year, all the college entrance examination students in the city naturally gathered at the Second Middle School. Vice Principal Xu Xin led the teachers and personally welcomed the recruitment staff from all over the country. Then, he brought them to the venue that had been set up earlier. Third-rate universities did not have the initiative in selecting students. They had to wait until the higher-level universities had finished selecting students before they were qualified to compete. In this world, strength spoke. This was the case even when the academies were snatching rare resources like students. There were more than 20 recruitment schools in Northern City this time, and most of them were third-rate. What Xu Xin paid the most attention to was undoubtedly the three top universities of the Dragon Country, the Heavenly Star Academy, the North Deep Academy, and the Legendary Academy! With Lin Mo¡¯s score, entering any one of the three wasn¡¯t a problem at all! At this moment, Lin Mo was sitting alone in a corner, looking forward to the upcoming enrollment. The strongest of the three top-notch academies was none other than the Heavenly Star Academy! The next was the Beiming Academy, and the last was the Legendary Academy. The biggest difference between the three top universities was probably the resources they provided to their students. The forces behind the Heavenly Star Academy were rich and powerful. They controlled all the large and small chambers of commerce in the country. They used this opportunity to rise up 20 years ago and surpass the number one legendary academy at that time. The Legendary Academy had not fallen behind by too much, but because of an unforeseen event fifteen years ago. It resulted in the tragic sacrifice of countless teachers and students. From then on, it didn¡¯t flourish. Not many people knew the details of that incident. Lin Mo only knew that a war god from the Legend Academy had also died. The title of War God was the top title in the Dragon Country. Only those who had made countless military achievements and obtained the approval of the Supreme Council could obtain it. There were only five such experts in the entire Dragon Country! All the students in Northern City looked up to any of the top universities. However, according to the annual tradition, the three universities would only take away the most outstanding students. There were even a few years where not a single student from Northern City was selected. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 18 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW And this year, North City had no objections. It was the most outstanding moment in history. Not only was there Lin Mo, who had an SSS-rank clearance score but there were also two students who had awakened platinum-grade talents. Soon, the school organized the list of students to be admitted. ¡°Li Zihao, enroll in Heavenly Peace Academy!¡± ¡°Liu Xianjue, admitted to the Hundred Hands Academy!¡± ¡°Liu Buyi, please come to conference room 307.¡± ¡°¡­¡± As the announcement rang out, the students waited nervously. On the contrary, the students who were admitted by the third-rate universities had basically been confirmed and would not change unless the students were not satisfied and could revoke their admission qualifications. However, to be selected by a third-rate school, they knew that they had already been eliminated by a second-rate school. If they were selected by a first-class school, they would be brought to the conference room to have a detailed discussion with the student recruitment staff. The students who left were sent away by countless envious gazes. ¡°I¡¯ll pray to the heavens and the earth for the War God. I must get into a first-rate university!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have such high requirements. It¡¯s already not bad if I can get into the second-rate.¡± ¡°¡­..¡± As everyone spoke, the students were called out one by one. Some students were selected by the institution they were interested in as they wished, and they were so excited that they could not control themselves. The students who failed could only force a smile. At this moment, Lu Bu¡¯s figure appeared again. He had just gone to the conference room and was selected by a first-rate university. At this moment, he had an extremely smug smile on his face. Although she was usually ignorant and incompetent, and her college entrance examination results were rather worrying, he was fortunately talented and favored by a first-class university. ¡°Lin Mo, don¡¯t worry. A top school will be calling for you soon.¡± Lu Bu pretended to be concerned, ¡°You¡¯re the top scholar of Northern City this year. Even if you have a Black Iron Rank talent, the top universities shouldn¡¯t mind, right?¡± ¡°Ye Buping, please come to conference room 501.¡± Suddenly, the announcement caught everyone¡¯s attention. Lu Bu laughed: ¡°The top universities have finally begun to make their move. Ye Buping seems to be a warrior like you, but his talent is Platinum level!¡± Not being accepted by any institution meant that they had not completely decided. Which top university wanted to enroll Ye Buping? In Conference Room 501, other than Xu Xin, Li Mei, and the other teachers, there was also the recruitment staff sent by the three top universities. Their job was very simple. They just had to find the most outstanding students in Northern City and accept them. However, the most troublesome thing was how to snatch the candidates from the other two top universities. ¡°I was too lazy to argue with you guys a few years ago. This year, our Heavenly Star Academy will be the first to choose people.¡± A handsome man laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t pretend to be polite with me. The rules have always been decided by the student himself. Let him choose for himself.¡± The Heavenly Star representative sitting at the side sneered, ¡°Be it resources or welfare, our Heavenly Star has always been generous. What do you have to compete with me?¡± Ever since the rise of the Heavenly Star Academy, relying on its powerful strength and sufficient resources, it was the best choice for countless job-holder students. Naturally, a large number of high-quality talents would flock to the Heavenly Star Academy every year. As a result, both Beiming Academy and Legendary Academy were suffering. The Darknorth representative couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. Well, it seemed that he would be scolded again this year. This year¡¯s legendary representative was a young woman. She wore a green and white long dress and sat on the side like a snow lotus on a mountain peak, as cold as ice. ¡°Representatives, Ye Buping is here.¡± With Ye Buping¡¯s arrival, the representatives of the three top universities had already seen his information and results. They were very satisfied with him. ¡°Ye, you¡¯ve been chosen by Heavenly Star and other universities in this enrollment.¡± ¡°The purpose of this discussion is very simple. You just need to follow your own choice.¡± After Xu Xin finished speaking, the rest would be decided by the students themselves. Seeing this, the representative from Darknorth Academy stood up and said, ¡°Ye, your talent is quite suitable for the teaching direction of our university. As long as you come to our university, we will provide you with the best teachers and resources.¡± Without waiting for Ye Buping to answer, the representative of the Lu Bu pretended to be concerned. Then, he stood up and said, ¡°Heavenly Star Academy has always valued its students. In terms of resources, it¡¯s the best in the country. I can also guarantee that you will receive a Platinum Rank skill book every year. We can talk about other benefits in detail. ¡± After he finished speaking, the representative from Beiming Academy turned pale. In terms of strength and resources, Darknorth Academy was inferior to Heavenly Star Academy every year. There was no way to refute it. As for the beautiful representative of the Legendary Academy. After briefly stating the conditions offered by the Legend Academy, she fell silent. It was just a perfunctory routine. From her point of view, Ye Buping had already seen through his choice from the moment he entered the meeting room. Therefore, she did not want to waste his energy. ¡°I choose the Heavenly Star Academy.¡± ¡°A wise choice!¡± Ye Buping¡¯s answer made the representative of Heavenly Star feel extremely happy. ¡°Also, Lu Ming, who has the same level of talent as me, asked me to pass on a message because of something.¡± ¡°If the Heavenly Star Academy is willing to accept him, he will also choose the Heavenly Star Academy,¡± said Ye Buping. The entire meeting room fell silent. The representative from Beiming Academy clenched his fists and felt a sense of grievance in his chest. Student Ye, are you sure? ¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The Heavenly Star representative was so happy that he couldn¡¯t close his mouth. He turned his head and said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t reject him if he wants to come.¡± ¡°Oh right, I remember that there¡¯s also the top scorer in Northern City. I won¡¯t snatch this from you.¡± After showing off, he didn¡¯t forget to add another stab. ¡°Don¡¯t buy monsters after getting a bargain,¡± said the representative of Darknorth with a cold face, ¡°Our Darknorth Academy is not interested in a Black Iron Rank trash champion!¡± With that, he got up and prepared to leave. This year, the two professionals with platinum-level talents in Northern City were already taken, and they were no longer interested in continuing. The expressions of Xu Xin and the other teachers were similarly ugly. Ye Buping and Lu Ming were both students from Northern City¡¯s First Middle School, while Lin Mo from their school was known as the top scorer! It meant that the rumors from before were not false. The three top universities were not interested in Lin Mo, who had a Black Iron Rank talent. ¡°Vice-principal, it¡¯s about time for me to leave.¡± After the Heavenly Star representative finished speaking, he looked at the Legend representative beside him and said with a smile, ¡°Beauty, do you have time for a cup of tea?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not free.¡± The Legend representative was very cold, and obviously a little angry. She made a trip to Northern City, but she didn¡¯t get anything. ¡°He¡¯s already been picked, and you¡¯re still here. Don¡¯t tell me you still want to meet that good-for-nothing top scorer?¡± ¡°So what?¡± ¡°Are you really interested in that kind of trash?¡± ¡°The college entrance examination is just a reference. It doesn¡¯t have much meaning,¡± the representative of Heavenly Star said in surprise.

Chapter 19 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Hearing the words of the Heavenly Star representative, Xu Xin had a bitter expression on his face. It was not easy for the school to produce a top scholar. However, Lin Mo was actually despised because of his talent. After confirming it, the broadcast called for Lin Mo. ¡°Greetings, representatives.¡± As soon as Lin Mo entered the meeting room, he sensed an unusual atmosphere, especially Xu Xin and Li Mei¡¯s expressions. The Legendary Academy representative looked at Lin Mo, sized him up, and asked, ¡°What do you think about the difficulty of the college entrance examination?¡± ¡°Simple.¡± This answer caused everyone present to ponder. These two simple words revealed Lin Mo¡¯s arrogance. ¡°Little brother, can you explain in detail what is simple?¡± The Heavenly Star representative smiled with interest and said,¡± If it¡¯s really that simple, why did even professionals with platinum-level talent only get an S-level evaluation? Are they noobs? ¡± ¡°Uh ¡­ Maybe.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s reply caused the Heavenly Star representative¡¯s expression to darken. Ye Buping, who hadn¡¯t left yet, heard this and frowned. He was extremely disgusted by Lin Mo¡¯s first impression. ¡°Lin, please answer properly.¡± The Legendary Academy representative¡¯s tone gradually turned cold as he said, ¡°This is related to whether you can enter a top academy and embark on a smoother path as a professional. It¡¯s definitely not child¡¯s play. ¡± ¡°Lin Mo, be serious!¡± Xu Xin couldn¡¯t sit still and stood up, ¡°This is your last chance. The representative of Darknorth Academy has left. Only the Legendary Academy and Heavenly Star Academy are left!¡± Lin Mo looked at the empty chair and more or less understood. As expected, the top universities looked at talent, and the score was just a reference. ¡°Dear teachers, I am not speaking arrogantly. The instance of the college entrance examination is really very simple.¡± ¡°The difficulty of the dungeon itself isn¡¯t high.¡± Lin Mo explained calmly, ¡°You just need to pay attention to the use of techniques and other means. Even if it¡¯s just one person, you can clear it step by step.¡± Although it was just an excuse, it was the truth. In the same instance dungeon, if a team obtained a B grade score, then the second time they learned the technique, and the second time they cleared it, the score would definitely increase. The dungeon scoring system was very complicated. In high-level dungeons, if one was attacked by monsters one more time, their score might be reduced. From this, it could be seen that although Lin Mo¡¯s words were unpleasant, he was not wrong. But when Ye Buping heard it, it meant something else. ¡°Are you saying that my technique is inferior to yours?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been in the top ten in the school for the past three years. How about you?¡± ¡± He performed normally. He can be in the top three of the school. ¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words made Ye Buping fall silent. With Li Mei¡¯s guarantee, there would be no mistakes in his high school results. If he really did not have any ability, Lin Mo would not have been remembered by those guys in Class One all day long. ¡°Theoretic knowledge is indeed helpful for the college entrance examination instance dungeon.¡± The Legendary Academy representative finally smiled and asked, ¡°Then what do you think of your talent?¡± The Black Iron Rank talent was undoubtedly a pain in Lin Mo¡¯s heart. Ye Buping sneered and said, ¡°If I remember correctly, it¡¯s a trash talent like Passive Master, right? To be able to change classes to a Warrior, it¡¯s considered that you have accumulated merit in your previous life.¡± Lin Mo ignored the mocking words. ¡°Although Black Iron Rank talent is bad, man can conquer nature. I don¡¯t think it will drag me down!¡± ¡°What big words! Do you know how many low-level talents have said the same thing as you over the years?¡± The representative of Heavenly Star sneered, ¡°They are all struggling and trying their best to climb up, but no talent is no talent!¡± ¡°A mere Black Iron talent can¡¯t even touch the height of the first transition. The highest record in the country¡¯s history is only level 75!¡± ¡°Even if your skills are extraordinary, what¡¯s the use?¡± ¡°At most, I¡¯ll just break this record and become a laughing stock for future generations!¡± Although his words were heart-wrenching, they were the truth. In this world, strength came first. Talent was the foundation of this unshakable principle. ¡°May I ask if the Heavenly Star Academy intends to recruit a good-for-nothing like me?¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°Then I don¡¯t have to answer your question.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words made the Heavenly Star representative¡¯s face turn red with anger. If the representatives of Darknorth, who had already left, saw this, they would probably burst out laughing. ¡°Although I¡¯m not as talented as others, I won¡¯t give up on the path of a professional.¡± ¡°If a top school doesn¡¯t like me, I¡¯ll go to a first-rate school. If a first-rate school doesn¡¯t like me, then I¡¯ll go to a second-rate or third-rate school.¡± ¡°Even if no one is willing to take me in in the end, I will continue to persevere!¡± ¡°Lin Mo, what nonsense!¡± Li Mei hurriedly grabbed Lin Mo¡¯s arm and scolded, ¡°Do you know how important resources are to professionals? Don¡¯t act on impulse! ¡± Every academy had a huge amount of resources to nurture countless professionals. It was even more so for top universities. Platinum skill books were rare on the market. Even if there was, it would be bought in an instant. Otherwise, it would demand an exorbitant price and be ignored. The biggest reason for this is the power behind the various universities that used huge amounts of money to monopolize. After leaving the academy, the future of a professional could be described as hellish. Lin Mo had no objections to his homeroom teacher¡¯s words, but he would not give in to the arrogance of a top university. ¡°You have a backbone.¡± A round of applause rang out in the conference room. The Legendary Academy representative stood up and smiled.¡± I am a teacher at the Legendary Academy, Jiang Xin. I agree with your words. At the same time, I also represent the Legendary Academy. We must look at you from the perspective of the academy. ¡± ¡°I understand.¡± ¡°I¡¯m already clear about the specific situation.¡± Jiang Xin smiled and asked, ¡°Lin, if I let you clear the iron-level hard-difficulty dungeon again and get an S-level score or above, are you confident?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s reply made Xu Xin and Li Mei¡¯s expressions freeze. The difficulty of the college entrance exam dungeon was fixed. It was on the easy difficulty, but Jiang Xin was referring to the hard difficulty! ¡°You really think you¡¯re nothing.¡± Ye Buping mocked, ¡°The difficult difficulty is five times the easy difficulty. This year¡¯s Northern City College Entrance Examination Instance Dungeon is already considered easy. It¡¯s so easy to brag.¡± But his words were ignored. ¡°I¡¯ll give you two days to clear any iron-level hard dungeon in North City.¡± ¡± If you get an S-rank or above score, the Legendary Academy will accept you, Lin Mo! ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any restrictions on teaming up with classmates or solo.¡± ¡± As long as you pass this test, on behalf of myself, I will give you double the resources you get in school every year! ¡± Jiang Xin¡¯s words shocked everyone present. ¡°Beauty, you are really boring.¡± ¡°To think that he would actually play such a bet with a student,¡± the representative of Heavenly Star sneered. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 20 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°Am I bothering you?¡± Jiang Xin¡¯s cold gaze made the representative of Heavenly Star subconsciously freeze. He felt an unusual pressure. ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll clear it as soon as possible.¡± Lin Mo agreed to the bet without hesitation. After exchanging phone numbers with Jiang Xin, he strode out of the meeting room. Lin Mo was still looking forward to the top academies. However, he only had one choice left. In the corridor, Li Mei suddenly caught up with him with a document in her hand: ¡°Lin Mo, this is a Black-Iron Instance Dungeon in North City. You have to think carefully before you go. If you need, I can help you contact other students.¡± Li Mei was most unwilling to see such a thing happen to this student whom she was so proud. But now¡­ She knew that Lin Mo had no choice. This document was actually found by Xu Xin so that Lin Mo could win the bet with Jiang Xin. ¡°Thank you, teacher. I won¡¯t let you and the vice-principal down.¡± Lin Mo bowed slightly to the homeroom teacher who had taken care of him for many years. Then, he turned around and left. It was a serious challenge for anyone who had just stepped into the profession to clear the iron-level difficulty. After all, it was unrealistic to expect a child who had just learned to walk to be able to ride a bicycle immediately. According to the information, there were currently 27 Black-Iron Dungeon entrances in North City. There weren¡¯t many of them. The guide was also very complete. ¡°This is it.¡± Lin Mo chose a dungeon on the list and immediately took a taxi there. He arrived at a farmhouse in the suburbs, this was the entrance to the iron-level dungeon [Slime Paradise]. As it was the Northern City¡¯s student recruitment meeting today, there were not many professionals coming and going. ¡°Little brother, I¡¯m not recruiting anymore.¡± When the owner of the farmhouse saw Lin Mo, he smiled and said, ¡°If you want to find a job, go elsewhere.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not here to look for a job.¡± ¡°Then why are you here?¡± ¡°Buying dungeon scrolls.¡± Lin Mo said calmly. On the surface, this was just a farmhouse. In fact, in order to manage the dungeon, North City had specially set up a point to sell tickets to Slime Land. ¡°You look like a student. Could it be that a student who didn¡¯t get what he wanted to vent?¡± the owner asked suspiciously. ¡°More or less.¡± Lin Mo smiled bitterly. ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s not easy for everyone these days.¡± ¡°Consider this Instance Dungeon Scroll as a gift from me. Good luck!¡± ¡°Thank you, Boss.¡± After receiving the Instance Dungeon Scroll, Lin Mo immediately went to the secondary entrance and disappeared in front of the entrance. ¡°Ding! You have entered the dungeon [Slime Paradise], please choose the difficulty.¡± ¡°Difficult.¡± According to the bet, Lin Mo chose the difficult difficulty. Because it was a low-level dungeon, there were only three options for the difficulty: easy, normal, and difficult. ¡°The Hard difficulty has been activated. Please kill 300 Slimes in the dungeon. Details can be found on the mission panel!¡± A cold voice sounded. Suddenly, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes flashed. The warm sunlight shone on his body and he felt a sense of warmth. The chirping of birds could be heard from the lush green trees around them. It was as peaceful as a paradise. ¡°This is Slime Paradise?¡± Lin Mo looked around to find the target of the mission. Soon, they saw colorful slimes jumping and playing with each other. [Mission: Slime Crusade] [Difficulty: Difficult] [Target: 0/300] [Limit: 360 minutes] [Introduction: Slime is so cute, why did you hurt it!?] ¡­ Name: Slime [Level: 7] [HP: 700] ¡± Skills: Impact, Branch ¡± ¡­ As expected of a monster in Hard Difficulty, its HP alone was several times higher than the Goblin in Easy Difficulty. Moreover, there was an additional time limit. He must complete the dungeon quest within 360 minutes to clear it. As he approached a slime, Lin Mo¡¯s Hurricane Greatsword instantly descended. ¡°Plop!¡± ¡°-22!¡± The attack feedback was unusually soft, and the damage was only 22 points! However, Lin Mo was not surprised. This was because slimes were a type of monster with high physical defense. The Slime that was attacked felt hostility and rushed toward Lin Mo angrily, using its skill to collide. However, in the next second, its HP instantly decreased by a large amount. Lin Mo smiled bitterly. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, it was better to deal more damage with the passive Armor of Thorns. As it was not killed immediately, the slime, which felt the danger, used its skill ¡°branch¡±. It was originally the size of a basketball, but in the next second, it split into small slimes the size of tennis balls. At the same time, in Hard mode, monsters would have aggro chains, attracting one would attract other monsters. If they were not dealt with in time, more and more slimes would approach and put the professionals in a dilemma. However, Lin Mo didn¡¯t care. He just lay on the ground. Since he had the super god-level Armor of Thorns, it would be better to wait for Slime to die instead of wasting his energy. Slime¡¯s damage was not high either. The damage caused by a single collision was around fifty to sixty based on the average defense of a warrior. Furthermore, Lin Mo¡¯s passive skill, the King¡¯s Divine Shield, reduced 90% of the damage, making him an even more ticklish existence. ¡°Chirp, chirp, chirp!¡± Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s contemptuous actions, the slime in front of it was extremely furious. Even its body color turned fiery red. Soon, more and more slimes arrived. They jumped around Lin Mo and gathered at least a hundred slimes in a short period of time! Such a spectacular scene surprised Lin Mo. Amid Slime¡¯s aggressive attacks, notifications kept ringing in his ears. ¡°Ding! You have killed Slime, experience points +150!¡± ¡°Ding! You have killed Slime, experience points +150!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The sound of the notification, coupled with the slight push of the slime¡¯s impact on his back, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but yawn. ¡°I¡¯m sleepy.¡± Looking at his HP, he had only lost a mere 200 points. It did not hurt at all. He closed his eyes and took a nap. If this scene was seen by others, their jaws would definitely drop. Lin Mo was definitely the first person in history to clear a dungeon while sleeping! This was a Slime in Hard Mode, and it wasn¡¯t as cute and charming as it looked. Unknowingly, the notifications in his ears finally stopped. Lin Mo opened the mission panel and found that the mission had been completed. He stood up and began to pick up the slime materials that had dropped around him. Not a single piece of equipment was dropped. All of them were materials or potions. Of course, Lin Mo did not care. When he saw the additional 1500 Gold Coins and two pieces of Bronze Equipment in his bag, he knew that the score had been released. However, because he was too sleepy, he did not notice it at all. His HP was still at 91%! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 21 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Inside a luxuriously decorated five-star hotel room, Jiang Xin had just taken a shower. She walked to the living room with a towel wrapped around her and poured a glass of red wine. Before she could taste it, the doorbell suddenly rang. ¡°Ms. Jiang, I¡¯m Lin Mo!¡± The familiar voice sounded, and Jiang Xin frowned slightly. It had only been less than a day, and Lin Mo came to find him. Could it be that he felt that he could not fulfill the bet? Jiang Xin opened the door. ¡°Lin Mo, there¡¯s still plenty of time before the appointed time. This is your last chance. Your form teacher and vice-principal think highly of you. Don¡¯t disappoint me.¡± Jiang Xin said earnestly when she saw Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo didn¡¯t mind. Instead, he took out the dungeon record and displayed it in front of Jiang Xin. Jiang Xin¡¯s expression changed from doubt to shock: ¡°[Slime Paradise] Iron Grade Hard Dungeon, SS rating?!¡± ¡°The person who cleared the dungeon¡­And you¡¯re solo!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s dungeon record stunned Jiang Xin. Hard Mode Dungeons could obtain an SS rating, it could be said that Lin Mo¡¯s performance was very outstanding! More importantly, he was still soloing the dungeon! ¡°There¡¯s still room for improvement.¡± Lin Mo said humbly. The reason why he didn¡¯t get an SSS-level clearance score was that he had used the Armor of Thorns to kill the slime. Moreover, he did not pay attention to the dungeon plot, resulting in a lower score. Being humble was a good thing, but being too humble was not good. Jiang Xin was a teacher at a top university, she was clear that even if a new professional had mastered the basic skills of Pure Green Like Fire, he would be considered an outstanding existence if he could display 50% of his strength in actual combat. There was no doubt that Lin Mo was a genius! But ¡­ The bitter truth was placed in front of him. Was a Black Iron Rank genius really considered a genius? No matter what, the difficulty score of the SS-rank dungeon was placed in front of her. Lin Mo had already fulfilled this goal according to the agreement. After calming down the surging waves in her heart, Jiang Xin decided to take another gamble! Bet on Lin Mo¡¯s future! Jiang Xin stretched out her right hand with a smile: ¡°Congratulations, Lin Mo. Welcome to the Legendary Academy!¡± ¡°The day after tomorrow at 10 am, we can prepare to leave. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, you can contact me by phone.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Facing the good news, Lin Mo tilted his head and thanked him. ¡°Didn¡¯t anyone tell you to look after people when you thank them?¡± Jiang Xin was puzzled. ¡°Uh, okay.¡± Lin Mo reluctantly turned his head, trying not to look at Jiang Xin¡¯s hot figure wrapped in a towel. His gaze was erratic, but he could still glance at her from time to time. Now, Jiang Xin was only wrapped in a bath towel, and her snow-white skin was exposed. Her slightly wet hair was draped over her shoulders, enough to make the blood of teenagers who were still in puberty boil. Jiang Xin¡¯s face instantly turned red: ¡°Turn your head! Remember not to be late. See you the day after tomorrow!¡± With that, she closed the door. Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders helplessly. However, it seemed like a good day to be able to feast his eyes at night and join the Legendary Academy as he had wished. Then, Lin Mo returned home. Soon, the form teacher and Xu Xin received the news and called to congratulate him. Lin Mo lay on his bed, looking forward to being accepted by the Legendary Academy. The next day, they were about to leave Northern City. Lin Mo bid farewell to the neighbors in the old neighborhood. As one of the few young people in the neighborhood, the neighbors were reluctant to part with Lin Mo. They suddenly treated him as their own child. On the morning of the third day, Lin Mo packed his luggage and left his house. When he saw his neighbors at the door holding eggs and a lot of things, he felt touched. He carried all the bags and came to the meeting point. At this moment, there were two students standing beside Jiang Xin, as well as Lin Mo¡¯s form teacher, Li Mei. Li Mei felt sad for Lin Mo, who was about to enter the Legendary Academy. However, she was reluctant to part with him. ¡°Lin Mo, you must work hard.¡± ¡°I will, Mrs. Li!¡± Jiang Xin smiled and comforted him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mrs. Li. The Legendary Academy won¡¯t mistreat Lin Mo. No matter what, he¡¯s the top scholar of Northern City this year.¡± Soon, everyone boarded the high-speed rail to the province. It was Lin Mo¡¯s first time sitting in a luxurious VIP room. The other two students seemed to be the same as well, looking around curiously. They were students from Northern City No.1 High School and No.3 High School respectively. Each of them had awakened a Gold-level talent! It was rumored that the three top universities would only take away the most outstanding students, but the reality was not that simple. For example, the only two Platinum-level talents in Northern City this year had been cut off by the Heavenly Star Academy. The bitter Darknorth Academy and Legendary Academy could only drink a mouthful of soup, they could only choose some students with good talent to avoid returning empty-handed. The other two were the students that Jiang Xin had chosen. They sat on the sofa. Jiang Xin put on her blindfold and reminded them to rest well. However, the excited students could not calm down. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m He Qi from Class Three.¡±One of the boys said with a smile, ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that I could actually join a top university. When I received the news yesterday, I thought it was a prank.¡± Like Lin Mo, He Qi was a Warrior. The gold-grade talent he had mastered was the self-enhancement type. The lower the HP, the higher the defense and attack. Such a warrior would have outstanding performance in any team. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Wenwen from No. 3 High School.¡± The delicate girl sitting at the side echoed, ¡°Me too. I thought it was a scam and hung up. In the end, Ms. Jiang called more than ten times.¡± As she said that, she scratched his head in embarrassment. Lin Mo did not join in the conversation. Just like Jiang Xin, he lay back and closed his eyes. The two of them didn¡¯t mind. They were overjoyed to be able to join the Legend Academy. They even talked about the War God of the Legendary Academy. ¡°I hope that one day, I can also become the Dragon Country¡¯s War God!¡± He Qi clenched his fists. ¡°That¡¯s too difficult.¡± Lin Wenwen smiled bitterly, ¡°To become a wargod, you need to at least change profession 72 times. Let¡¯s take care of the present first.¡± Every transition of a professional was extremely important, and it was related to the choice of digging out one¡¯s own potential. Every 100 levels were 1 transition. And now, if one wanted to become a wargod and become the supreme existence of the human race, one would need to reach the 72nd transition! According to the news in the Dragon Country every year, ordinary professionals would be blocked outside of the 20th transition. This was like a threshold that had become the inner demon of countless people. Lin Mo had no opinion on this. After all, he had just started and had not even reached level 10. It was still too early to talk about that. A few hours later, everyone just got off the high-speed rail. Other than the high-speed rail platform, the surrounding terrain was completely desolate, making the students at a loss.

Chapter 22 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°Ms. Jiang, where is this place?¡± ¡°There¡¯s still some distance to the province. Why do we have to get off here?¡± Lin Wenwen and He Qi¡¯s faces were full of questions. There was not even a single person around. Jiang Xin smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. She headed north. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the entrance of an instance dungeon. There was no one else around. ¡°Now, we officially welcome you to join the Legendary Academy!¡± ¡°And from now on, the entrance assessment test has already issued a challenge to you.¡± ¡°If you want to truly enter the academy, then this is the last hurdle.¡± ¡°The results of clearing the stage are related to your future resources in school and various benefits, so it¡¯s best not to ignore it.¡± Jiang Xin said and then put on a subtle expression. As expected, Lin Wenwen and He Qi¡¯s lips twitched as they looked around and then at the dungeon. ¡°Ms. Jiang, there are only three of us!¡± ¡°If we can¡¯t even form a basic five-man group, how are we going to clear the dungeon?!¡± Facing the students¡¯ questions, Jiang Xin still maintained her smile without saying a word. It was as if she was saying, ¡°Come on, you can do it!¡± Faced with such a predicament, the students could only brace themselves and come to the dungeon. After checking it, they confirmed that this was a black-iron dungeon. Anyway, they were at a top university, but in the end, they had fallen into a situation where they did not have any teammates. ¡°We have to bite the bullet. Let¡¯s form a team.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a Priest, and you¡¯re both Warriors, so I can heal you,¡± said Lin Wenwen.¡± Lin Mo, who was standing at the side, had yet to express his opinion when He Qi objected. ¡°No, you don¡¯t have many healing skills right now. It¡¯s impossible for you to take care of two Warriors at the same time.¡± ¡°According to my guess, this instance dungeon that is evaluating our results is definitely not simple. Looking at Ms. Jiang, she doesn¡¯t seem to care about the lack of people. So I guess that this is a special instance dungeon!¡± The biggest difference between a Special Dungeon and a Normal Dungeon was the plot, flow, and settings of the Dungeon. If they wanted to know which one it was, they probably didn¡¯t have the time to investigate. However, it could also tell that this was an instance dungeon that would not be affected even if there were a lack of party members. ¡°How about I give it a try first and find out what kind of special instance dungeon it is. I¡¯ll tell you guys after I come out.¡± He Qi¡¯s affectionate words moved everyone present. ¡°How can that be? If you want to enter, I¡¯ll follow you!¡± Lin Wenwen said anxiously.¡± ¡°Wenwen, don¡¯t mess around. This instance dungeon is related to our entrance assessment!¡± ¡°But if you¡¯re the only one who¡¯s sacrificed, how can we sit idly by?¡± ¡°But what about Lin Mo? You can¡¯t heal two Warriors at once!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The man and woman in front of him were quarreling like a young couple. However, He Qi¡¯s words were directed at Lin Mo. It was obvious that the Priest could not sustain the health of the two Warriors in the early stages. Lin Mo shrugged helplessly. Lin Wenwen didn¡¯t understand, but Lin Mo completely understood. He Qi wanted to kick him away so that he could enjoy the healing of the Priest alone. After all, it was a special dungeon. A Warrior and a Priest were a perfect match. He simply walked up to Jiang Xin and stretched out his hand.¡±Teacher, please give me dungeon scroll.¡± ¡°Are you planning to solo again?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°This is related to the school¡¯s resources. Are you sure?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and chuckled. ¡± I have double the resources anyway. I just have to work hard. ¡± Jiang Xin was speechless. Lin Mo¡¯s words were simply too sly. However, it just so happened that she wanted to see how Lin Mo would perform in this special dungeon. Then, she took out the Special Dungeon Scroll and handed it to Lin Mo. Lin Mo took the Instance Dungeon Scroll and disappeared from the Instance Dungeon¡¯s entrance without saying a word. Seeing this, He Qi stopped arguing. His plan succeeded, and it went very smoothly! ¡°Why did he go in alone?¡± However, Lin Wenwen was unknown and unaware of the situation. She thought that she had neglected Lin Mo, so she felt guilty. ¡°Student Lin Mo should have his own thoughts. Let¡¯s go in too.¡± ¡°Not waiting for him?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t wait. Although the teacher didn¡¯t say that there¡¯s a time limit, who knows when Lin Mo will come out?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Wenwen fell silent. She looked at the entrance of the dungeon and sighed as she nodded in agreement. On the other side, Lin Mo entered the dungeon. Under the dim sky, the surroundings were filled with the ruins of buildings. ¡°Ding! You have entered the dungeon [Special Dungeon-Zombie City]. Please open the mission panel to check the details!¡± ¡°No difficulty options?¡± Lin Mo immediately opened the mission panel. [Mission: Survive!] [Difficulty: Special] [Restrictions: None] [Introduction: Coming ¡­ They came from all directions, endless!] ¡­ The nonsensical mission panel was confusing. From his first judgment. This was a survival-type instance dungeon, but strangely, there was no set survival time. [Name: Zombie] [Level: 7] [HP: 550] [Skills: Claw Tear, Poison, Charge] ¡­ Lin Mo looked around. The rotting zombies in the ruins of the buildings were moving slowly like ghosts in the dark environment. Their eyes were lifeless and their movements were slow. However, with the Charge skill, Lin Mo had no doubt that once he alarmed them, they would all turn into rabid dogs and attack him. ¡°Roar¡­¡± A zombie slowly approached Lin Mo. The moment it sensed him, it raised its disgusting hands and rushed over, howling. ¡°Just in time. I¡¯ll start with you first.¡± Lin Mo stood where he was and took out the Hurricane Greatsword and the War Banner Shield. Bang! The zombie crashed into the shield, but before it could do anything, Hurricane Greatsword sent it flying. -35! -21! The damage reflected by the Armor of Thorns popped up first, followed by Lin Mo¡¯s attack. ¡°The damage is that low?¡± Lin Mo frowned. However, he wasn¡¯t doubting his own damage. He was doubting the zombie¡¯s damage. It was only 14 points higher than his! As a monster, how could he have the nerve to deal such a small amount of damage? However, the scene that followed made Lin Mo retract his words. The first zombie was sent flying and crashed into a car, causing the alarm to sound. ¡°Beep beep beep beep-!¡± As the sound rang out, more and more zombies rushed over like locusts. The densely packed scene made Lin Mo¡¯s scalp tingle. Although it was not the first time, Slimes were much cuter than them! Zombies charged at Lin Mo one after another, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Soon, the surroundings were filled with zombies.

Chapter 23 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW At the entrance of the dungeon, Jiang Xin held the tablet in her hand and checked the current situation of the dungeon. Nearly ten minutes had passed, and on the tablet screen, He Qi and Lin Wenwen were in a group. ¡°Ha!¡± He Qi held a one-meter-long shield and a long sword in his hand, constantly slashing and killing all the zombies that were closing in, lookinglike cutting grass. The monsters and zombies in the special dungeon were almost at the bottom of the same level in terms of their attributes: Low damage, low HP, and low defense. With Lin Wenwen¡¯s Cleric¡¯s skill buff, He Qi displayed a heroic posture. But this was only the beginning. As more and more zombies approached, He Qi also felt the strain and was forced to retreat. ¡°How much longer will the healing spell take!¡± He Qi looked at his less than 30% HP and urged anxiously, ¡°Hurry up, there¡¯s no more HP!¡± Lin Wenwen, who was at the back, was also sweating anxiously when she heard that. He only had 249 HP. With the shield and equipment¡¯s defense, he would lose 23 HP from each zombie¡¯s attack. As long as he was attacked ten times in a row, his HP would be completely depleted! ¡°Almost done!¡± Lin Wenwen hid at the back. Once her skill cooldown was over, she immediately waved the wand in her hand. The holy white light descended and landed on He Qi¡¯s head. His HP was instantly pulled back to 87%. Seeing this, He Qi became more confident and brandished her sword to fight the zombies again. Seeing this scene, Jiang Xin shook her head. ¡°Currently 13 minutes 51 seconds, dungeon kill count 61. Although it¡¯s the perfect combination of a warrior and a priest, the efficiency is too low.¡± ¡°Still too conservative.¡± He Qi¡¯s talent should be that the lower the HP, the higher the combat power. However, because he did not dare to take too much risk, he kept letting the Priest raise his HP to a safe range, causing him to not make full use of his talent. This was the most common mistake made by new professionals. According to the situation of this team, they wouldn¡¯t go too far. That was because the number of zombies would increase as time passed. In the end, the Priest¡¯s skills were not on cooldown, and the Warrior could not withstand the pressure and was beaten to death. Jiang Xin turned off He Qi¡¯s live broadcast and tried to open Lin Mo¡¯s live broadcast. [The other party has turned off the live broadcast mode!] ¡°This fellow is really shameless.¡± Jiang Xin was so angry that she laughed. However, there was no other way. Since there was no livestream to check, she might as well check Lin Mo¡¯s dungeon kill count. ¡°Only 34?¡± Seeing the number on the screen, Jiang Xin was a little surprised. This was because her first impression of Lin Mo was not bad. After all, he was a Warrior who could solo an Iron-level Hard Mode dungeon and obtain an SS-level evaluation. How could his efficiency be so low? However, she quickly regained his senses. Lin Mo was awarrior without the support of a priest. No matter how strong he was, he had to temporarily avoid the edge. He Qi¡¯s steadiness was because he didn¡¯t make full use of the conditions he had, so Jiang Xin was very disappointed. Lin Mo¡¯s steadiness was the correct choice. After all, he was not like He Qi, who had a gold-level talent that was proportional to the risk. There were no Priests to support him and heal his health. The same situation naturally received a completely different evaluation from Jiang Xin. Just as she was about to turn off her tablet and lie down on a chair to rest. Suddenly, the number jumped, shocking Jiang Xin! [Kills: 71] In less than half a minute, the number of kills had doubled from 34 to 71! ¡°What¡¯s going on inside? Even if we use the traps in the instance dungeon, it¡¯s impossible to kill so many zombies.¡± Jiang Xin was very curious about the situation in the dungeon. However, Lin Mo had to turn off the live broadcast mode. She could only stare blankly at the black screen. Suddenly, the number jumped again. [Kills: 123] It was even more excessive than before, with an increase of 52 kills! Jiang Xin sucked in a breath of cold air and switched to another team. He Qi and Lin Wenwen only had a total of 72 kills! Moreover, from the scene, Lin Wenwen¡¯s skill cooldown time could no longer keep up with He Qi¡¯s HP loss. She probably could not hold on for long and would be surrounded by zombies. Previously, he had thought that Lin Mo was steady, but now it seemed that he was a very strong person. Jiang Xin felt that she was wrong. How was this steady? It was simply crazy. The number of kills kept increasing, and it was an explosive increase! If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she couldn¡¯t join halfway through, Jiang Xin would definitely have rushed in to take a good look at how Lin Mo did it. At the same time, a group of hungry zombies gathered in the dungeon. Roughly speaking, there were at least 300 of them! They raised their terrifying hands high and squeezed toward a target, trying to take a step forward. Among the zombies, Lin Mo was like a straw floating in the wind: Pitiful, weak, and annoying. ¡°It¡¯s so noisy. Can¡¯t you all line up properly and come one by one?¡± Looking at the zombies who were like crazy fans, Lin Mo felt a sense of melancholy. As expected of a special dungeon, although the zombies here were weak, they were all full of energy. When they saw him, they flocked to him as if it was time for lunch in the cafeteria. With the effects of the Armor of Thorns and the King¡¯s Divine Shield, Lin Mo was unharmed every time the zombies attacked him. But the problem was¡­ The zombies that attacked Lin Mo were quickly pushed away by the other zombies and rolled to the periphery. As a result, the kill rate would stagnate for a moment. ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +120!¡± ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +120!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s melancholy could not be concealed by the constant notifications in his ears. You guys can be arrogant, butwouldn¡¯t be arrogant for long! As the experience points continued to increase, a golden light flashed among the densely packed zombies, Lin Mo had reached level 8. Lin Mo didn¡¯t care anymore. He opened his information panel and added 3 free attribute points to Strength and Endurance. He still adhered to the idea of ¡°Bucket¡±: Being invincible in all aspects! If he was really bored, he might as well close his eyes. After all, zombies were so disgusting that they couldn¡¯t even eat. Although Lin Mo was a big-hearted person, he didn¡¯t think that he was masochistic, so out of sight, out of mind. At the entrance of the dungeon, two figures appeared, they were He Qi and Lin Wenwen, who had already been wiped out. ¡°This is ridiculous. No matter how many zombies we kill, we can¡¯t kill them all. What kind of dungeon is this?¡± He Qi cursed in exasperation. Lin Wenwen, who was beside him, was filled with guilt. Because of the last wave of zombies, they had no way to retreat. At the moment when their healing skills were on cooldown, they could not save He Qi. As a result, the team was wiped out. Even if he used a healing skill, it would only last for a few seconds at most. He Qi also knew this, but he was too angry to comfort Lin Wenwen. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 24 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Arriving in front of the two annoyed people, Jiang Xin¡¯s fingertips quickly swiped across the tablet. ¡°The final score is 81, with an average score of 40.¡± ¡°These are the results of the two of you. The resources you get every year are in the second level.¡± Hearing this, He Qi¡¯s face turned ashen. On the high-speed rail, he had already checked the resource levels of the Legendary Academy. There were a total of seven levels. The higher the level, the more resources he could obtain, and the second level was obviously not that good. Although it could be upgraded with the subsequent academic exams. It was already considered a difficult start when it started at the second level. Even though He Qi was extremely unhappy, there was nothing she could do to change this outcome. ¡°Where¡¯s Lin Mo?¡± Lin Wenwen looked around and said blankly, ¡°He should have come out earlier than us.¡± She recalled how he had neglected Lin Mo previously and felt even more guilty. If¡­ If three people entered the dungeon, would their results be better? ¡°Who cares? Even if he enters the instance dungeon with us, it¡¯s useless. You can¡¯t even heal one Warrior, and you want to heal two?¡± He Qi said coldly.¡± Hearing this, Lin Wenwen lowered her head, not knowing what to say. Jiang Xin was a little disappointed: He Qi¡¯s Gold talent was considered outstanding among the warriors, but whether it was his fighting style or his character, they were far from meeting his requirements. At the same time, the entrance assessment was not over yet. It was up to the student recruitment teacher to decide which class the new students were assigned to. According to the results and impression points, He Qi was assigned to the first-grade E class by Jiang Xin, which was considered the worst class. Lin Wenwen was in the first-grade Class D. As a Priest, She was quite skilled. Although she looked clumsy, there were still some points to note. Jiang Xin sat down again. Seeing this, He Qi could not help but ask, ¡°Ms. Jiang, why aren¡¯t you entering the city?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Lin Mo hasn¡¯t come out yet.¡± ¡°He¡¯s still in the instance dungeon?¡± He Qi¡¯s eyes suddenly froze, and he said in disbelief, ¡°Impossible, he didn¡¯t have a Priest to heal him, how could he survive in front of so many zombies!¡± According to common sense, Lin Mo should have been the first to be eliminated! Why were they still in the dungeon? Could it be that he was hiding? Impossible! There were so many zombies, and with the skill Charge, it was impossible for a Warrior to deal with them. He Qi couldn¡¯t understand how Lin Mo managed to persevere. This also troubled Jiang Xin. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up immediately and heard a man¡¯s voice. ¡°Ms. Jiang, it seems that you have gained quite a lot this time. I congratulate you first!¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± His words baffled Jiang Xin. ¡°What, isn¡¯t the person in the D17 instance dungeon your student?¡± ¡°I am indeed in the D17 instance dungeon.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! To be able to persevere in the D17 instance dungeon until now, this group of students can definitely be considered the top among this year¡¯s rookies. Ms. Jiang, you won¡¯t have to worry about your scholarship this year!¡± The person end of the phone continued, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the live broadcast mode isn¡¯t turned on. Otherwise, I would really like to see this group of outstanding newbies.¡± Obviously, the administrator in charge of supervising the instance dungeon had seen the abnormality of instance dungeon D17 and had misjudged that Lin Mo was a complete team. ¡°It¡¯s not a team. There¡¯s only one person inside.¡± Jiang Xin took a deep breath and corrected him. ¡°How is that possible?!¡± The administrator was stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Ms. Jiang, don¡¯t treat me as a joke.¡± As the administrator in charge of supervising instance dungeons, he was the most familiar with instance dungeon D17. A new professional soloing? Nine lives wouldn¡¯t be enough! However, Jiang Xin smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Do you think I would joke with you?¡± ¡°Really¡­It was really only a person. What were his profession and talent?!¡± ¡°Warrior, Black Iron Rank talent.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Xin said, and the person end of the phone fell silent. Anyone who heard such words would probably be the same. Lin Wenwen couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Teacher, is Lin Mo alright?¡± ¡°He is well.¡± Jiang Xin chuckled. There was no need to worry about Lin Mo now. Based on this result, he would definitely be able to obtain resources above the third level. After re-investigating the dungeon that Lin Mo was in, the current kill count had already broken through 300! Moreover, this number was still increasing! In the dungeon, Lin Mo was still bored to death. He looked at the zombies around him: ¡°You guys can do whatever you want. I¡¯m lying flat anyway.¡± When a batch of zombies fell, another batch of zombies would come back, wave after wave. ¡°Could it be an endless dungeon?¡± Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and thought, ¡°The monsters in the endless dungeon will respawn, and there is no end to it.¡± Immediately, he opened the exit panel, and Lin Mo¡¯s finger pressed down. ¡°Ding! Due to special reasons, you cannot exit the instance dungeon!¡± ¡°F * ck!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched. He had guessed correctly! The endless dungeon could not be cleared, so there were only two options to leave: one was to die and leave, while the other was to kill a certain number of zombies and then leave the dungeon. Obviously, he couldn¡¯t leave, but it would be even harder to die. The dense horde of zombies attacked Lin Mo¡¯s face, chest, and arms¡­ Now that he had 89% HP left, the key was to keep killing. However, His maximum HP would continue to increase. From the looks of it, it wasn¡¯t a bad thing. The only downside was that when he reached Level 9, the EXP given by monsters had been reduced to 110 points due to the level suppression. ¡°Looks like we still have to kill a certain number before we can leave.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve killed 381 zombies.¡± ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just treat it as grinding experience points to level up.¡± Just as Lin Mo was about to change his posture, a zombie suddenly rushed up to him, hugged him, and bit him. He kicked it away. ¡°Get lost, don¡¯t be so disgusting.¡± The zombie that was sent flying fell to the ground. The rotten flesh on its face was worn off, revealing its white bones. Great! It was even more disgusting now. Lin Mo looked at the dusky sky and the drizzling rain. He felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart. The EXP was quite good, and the increase in HP was also quite gratifying. However, if he could turn these disgusting zombies into cute slimes or elves, it would be a pleasure. If the zombies that kept coming had a trace of intelligence, they would probably be so angry that their skulls would flip over. It was fine if Lin Mo did not care about their tiring attacks at all, but he actually found them disgusting. When he was bored, Lin Mo would get up and move around when he was tired of lying down. As his level increased, his strength also increased, and he was barely able to move around in the zombie tide. He started to pick up the items dropped by the zombies.

Chapter 25 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW The only advantage of the endless dungeon was that it was very comfortable to farm experience, but the drop rate was hard to describe. The zombies that had crawled out of the ground surrounded Lin Mo, then batches of zombies fell one after another. The experience points kept increasing. ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +110!¡± ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +110!¡± ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV10. You have received 3 free attribute points!¡± ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +100!¡± ¡°¡­..¡± ¡°The efficiency is still too slow. I have to think of a way.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Looking at the ruins around him, he could find some simple traps. This was a setting that came with the dungeon. It could be used by professionals to get rid of zombies more safely and conveniently. However, it was obviously not enough to deal with the endless stream of zombies, so Lin Mo waved the Hurricane Greatsword again. If he wanted to be efficient, he couldn¡¯t be idle! He swept his sword horizontally and sent a group of zombies flying. Then, he turned around and took the initiative to meet the zombies that were attacking him. When one of the zombies ¡®HP dropped, he swung his Hurricane Greatsword again. Bang! The zombies that had been harvested with low HP all fell. His experience points increased rapidly. Not only that but for higher efficiency, Lin Mo took the initiative to approach the zombie and took a step back the moment he was attacked. This way, the zombie wouldn¡¯t be delayed by the other zombies pushing him. ¡°This efficiency is not bad.¡± Lin Mo was quite satisfied as he listened to the notifications ringing in his ears. At this moment, Jiang Xin and the two students outside the dungeon were watching the changes in the numbers on the tablet. They were simply terrified. ¡°Who is this guy?¡± He Qi was completely shocked. In the beginning, Lin Mo¡¯s kill count only jumped once per second. His speed was already very fast. But now¡­ This number was steadily increasing on average. To be able to do this, He Qi could not imagine the scene at all. Even an elite team would not be able to do this! Lin Wenwen and Jiang Xin were also shocked. ¡°Wait, the kill count hasn¡¯t moved for more than ten seconds!¡± Suddenly, Lin Wenwen said, ¡°Could it be that Lin Mo was killed?¡± ¡°Indeed!¡± He Qi also noticed this. However, the experienced Jiang Xin was still staring at the tablet screen, convinced that it was not that simple. Judging from Lin Mo¡¯s killing performance, he had already mastered the technique of not being surrounded by zombies if he could kill dozens of zombies in a short period of time. How could there be a sudden mistake that led to his elimination? As she expected, After another three seconds, the number increased to 61! It directly broke through the thousands of kills. In the dungeon, Lin Mo had been retreating among the zombies. He would retreat after being scratched by the monsters. Among the zombies that had fallen, there was an eye-catching green zombie: It was an elite monster in the dungeon. To be honest, Lin Mo was shocked when he first appeared. Not only did it have green saliva, but the mucus on its body also had a corrosive effect. If the equipment was stuck to this drop of mucus, his equipment¡¯s durability would plummet! Lin Mo didn¡¯t want to lose the durability of a set of silver-grade equipment. The higher the quality and level of the equipment, the more expensive the repair cost. A Silver Breastplate would cost thousands of gold coins to repair! Although she had already received a scholarship of one million yuan from No.2 Middle School, she could not lose her good tradition of being thrifty. Lin Mo simply spent some time. After taking off his equipment, he ran to the elite monster and let it give him a good beating. After dealing with the elite monsters, he would put on his equipment and continue to deal with the surrounding zombies. ¡°If I had known ¡­¡± He Qi felt bitter. The more Lin Mo killed, the more bitter he felt. If he had not ostracized Lin Mo back then and had taken the initiative to invite him¡­ Then perhaps he would not have fallen to the point of getting second-level resources! He Qi wished he could travel back in time and give herself a slap! But now, it was too late to think about this. On the other side, Jiang Xin was holding a phone not far away and seemed to be reporting something. Obviously, Lin Mo¡¯s actions exceeded Jiang Xin¡¯s tolerance. ¡°Little Xin, I have a headache about the student recruitment meeting right now. I don¡¯t have time to joke with you.¡± A bitter smile came from the other end of the phone.¡± ¡°Captain Liu, I can guarantee with my character!¡± ¡°How many times have I told you to call me director!¡± ¡°Alright. Then, Director Liu, what do you think we should do for Lin Mo?¡± The other end of the phone didn¡¯t answer immediately. After waiting for a moment, he said:¡±We¡¯ll talk about it when the results are out. You¡¯re already a teacher, yet you¡¯re still fooling around all day.¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone. ¡°No one will believe it even if I tell them.¡± Jiang Xin smiled bitterly. Obviously, the director scoffed at her words and still treated it as a prank. But this was also very reasonable. If someone came to her one day and told her that an ordinary person could actually clear an instance dungeon and obtain an A-rank evaluation, she was definitely too lazy to even smile. This was because it was too unrealistic and went against the common sense of most professionals. After Jiang Xin returned, she looked at the tablet again and was stunned when she saw the kill count. ¡°Kills: 2410¡± According to the scores set by the school, this score had already exceeded the score for the seventh grade of resources! However, Lin Mo remained inside and did not come out. He Qi and Lin Wenwen were even more so. Their faces were filled with shock, and they could not understand Lin Mo¡¯s kill count. They could not understand it, and they were even more confused. This was not something that a normal person could do. However, it was done by a Black Iron Rank warrior! Time passed quickly, but it was unusually slow for Jiang Xin and the others. More than ten minutes passed, and the kill count had doubled again, reaching an astonishing 3970! It was as if as long as Lin Mo was given enough time, he would definitely be able to kill more than ten thousand! Jiang Xin and the other two did not have any doubts about this. In a dim room in the Legendary Academy, the administrator had just poured hot water. After a hard day, he could finally eat a mouthful of hot instant noodles. These few days were the busiest time for newcomers. The current situation of the dungeons flashed across the screen one after another. They were basically stable. But suddenly, he could not help but recall the situation of the D17 instance dungeon. He held the mouse and clicked a few times to bring up the interface to check. However, he wouldn¡¯t know if he didn¡¯t look. When he saw it, he suddenly stood up and flipped the instant noodles on the table. The boiling hot water flowed onto his legs, causing him to scream in pain. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 26 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°Is there a malfunction?¡± The administrator had been in the legendary academy for more than ten years. Moreover, he was also a professional with a Black Iron Rank talent. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have stayed in a small dark room all year round and looked at a few screens for more than ten years. He didn¡¯t believe Jiang Xin¡¯s words at all. After all, he was the owner of a Black Iron Rank talent. He knew how trash this grade of talent was. If the upper limit was sealed, no matter how hard he tried, it was futile. Immediately, he dialed Jiang Xin¡¯s phone to see what was going on. ¡°Hello, is this Teacher Jiang?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the situation with your students? How can they be so exaggerated?¡± ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s the reincarnation of the War God?¡± ¡°No, even the War God isn¡¯t this ridiculous!¡± As the administrator finished speaking, Jiang Xin could only smile bitterly. She wanted to know more than anyone else how Lin Mo had done it, but unfortunately, she didn¡¯t know what was going on, and could only rely on the number of kills to determine the situation of the dungeon. ¡°Is there a problem with the instance dungeon? Is the student trapped inside?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we quickly report this to the leader and obtain the authority to forcefully shut down the instance dungeon!¡± Dungeons were a special existence. Humans had never been able to understand the mysteries behind them. However, it was still possible to forcefully interfere with it. As long as a powerful professional was sent out, they could use their own strength to forcefully intervene in the rules contained in the instance dungeon and cut off the central link to enter a special state, the professionals in the instance dungeon would be rejected and forced to leave the instance dungeon. However, in most cases, the instance dungeon with its central link cut off would become an ordinary building. The existence of instance dungeons was extremely important to any faction. One more dungeon was equivalent to one more treasure trove. ¡°I¡¯ve already asked, but no one believed me.¡± Jiang Xin said helplessly.¡± A warrior with a mere Black Iron talent was actually able to cause an instance dungeon to fall into an abnormal state and even had to mobilize powerful professionals to cut off the central link. If word got out, it would probably become a national joke. ¡°Why not? We can¡¯t just sit back and do nothing, right?¡± The administrator let out a long sigh and looked at the number on the screen in front of him. It had already reached the exaggerated 5101! This number had completely broken the historical record of the Legendary Academy! ¡°How about ¡­ waiting?¡± Jiang Xin was also at a loss. ¡± Wait for another ten minutes. If it hasn¡¯t stopped, I¡¯ll report it to the director immediately. ¡°¡± ¡°Alright!¡± By the way, who is your student?¡± the administrator asked.¡± ¡°Northern City¡¯s top scholar.¡± ¡°F * ck, a Black Iron Rank talent can be the top scorer?¡± The administrator¡¯s mouth twitched. He looked at himself and then at others. Everyone has a Black Iron Rank talent. Why are you so outstanding? But there was no need to say anything, perhaps the dungeon had malfunctioned, leading to such an outcome. But no matter what, Lin Mo was the real top scorer. He could only sit in front of the computer in the dark room and eat instant noodles bitterly. Oh¡­the bowl of instant noodles had already spilled all over the floor. There were no more instant noodles left. At the thought of this, the administrator slumped on the chair and smiled self-deprecatingly. At the same time, Lin Mo had already entered a state of selflessness after the crazy massacre. He continued to kill the endless stream of zombies. His experience points shot up like a rocket. ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +80!¡± ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +80!¡± ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to Level 14. You have received 3 free attribute points!¡± ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +70!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo had finally noticed the notification of the upgrade. The experience points were decreasing. This meant that the leveling speed would be much slower. When he opened the exit panel, he realized that the number of kills still did not meet the exit requirements. ¡°Interesting.¡± Lin Mo did not mind. A dungeon that could be controlled by a top university was definitely not as simple as it usually was. Just as he thought, almost all the new professionals in the past had died for leaving this dungeon, even geniuses with platinum-level talents were no exception. Lin Mo suddenly saw a red light from the corner of his eye. He immediately kicked the zombie away and picked it up. ¡°F * ck!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes widened. He did not expect the zombie to drop a skill book! [Active Skill: Breeze Sword Control Technique] [Basic Class: Warrior] [Grade: Platinum] [Effect: The caster can control the sword in the air and attack the target. The caster can move freely within a range of 150 x 150 meters. The further the weapon is away from the caster, the lower the attack power!] ¡­ This was the most popular warrior skill in the black market! Although there was no bonus, it was equivalent to turning a Warrior from a melee to a ranged. It was a temptation that no professional could resist! This book could be sold for 10 to 20 million on the black market. It was a toy that could be said to be at an astronomical price! It was a platinum-grade active skill, and its range was extremely wide. Unfortunately, it could only be used to torture noobs. After all, the farther the weapon was thrown, the lower the attack power. When it was 100 meters away, the attack power would probably be reduced to a negative number. To Lin Mo, this kind of skill book was a gaudy existence and was not practical. Instead of using it for himself and taking up an extra active skill slot, it was better to put it away and sell it. It was more cost-effective to buy a few more practical passive skills. After putting it in his backpack, Lin Mo continued to hunt down zombies. After ten minutes of continuous notifications, he finally reached Level 15! Lin Mo excitedly opened his character interface and allocated all his free attribute points. [Name: Lin Mo] [Level: 15 (0.01%)] [Class: Warrior] [HP: 16415] [Magic Power: 380] [Strength: 76] [Agility: 50] [Intelligence: 19] [Endurance: 76] [Talent: Passive God (Unique)] [Active Skills: Chop (Iron Rank-7), Retreat (Iron Rank-3)] [Passive Skills: Divine Blade (Supreme God-level), Thorn Armor (Supreme God-level), Sin of Greed (Supreme God-level), King¡¯s Divine Shield (Supreme God-level)] ¡­ Even Lin Mo was surprised to see such a strange interface. With the enhancement of the Sin of Greed, his HP had already exceeded 10,000 and was even approaching the 20,000 mark! However, its intelligence did not increase at all. Lin Mo was still considering this. Warriors could also add points to intelligence. After changing classes to Spellblades, intelligence was not much worse than strength.

Chapter 27 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Lin Mo had already come to a conclusion about the specifics of the professional change. The current priority is to level up, and the only two active skills were also very useful this time, they had reached Black Iron Rank-7 and Rank-3. At this moment, a zombie attack landed. Lin Mo was still immersed in his character interface. ¡°Ding! You have killed a zombie, experience points +10!¡± A notification sounded. After jumping almost 7 levels, his experience points had been suppressed to the limit. If he wanted to use this dungeon to level up, he would probably have to kill more than ten thousand zombies. However, in order to exit the dungeon, Lin Mo could only continue to kill zombies. ¡°Ding! You have obtained the exit option!¡± Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes flashed as he pressed the exit button. As expected, it had already taken effect. Since he couldn¡¯t farm experience, he had no reason to stay any longer. He chose to end the dungeon. ¡°Ding! You are about to exit the instance dungeon. Please be prepared!¡± There was no punishment in the notification, which was a feature of the Endless Dungeon. As the strong light flashed, soon, Lin Mo felt a natural breeze blowing against his face. Moreover, he could clearly sense a few figures rushing over. They were Jiang Xin, He Qi, Lin Wenwen, and the others who had been waiting for a long time, they had been waiting for this moment for far too long. ¡°Lin Mo, are you alright?¡± Jiang Xin looked at Lin Mo up and down. After confirming that Lin Mo was fine, she asked, ¡°How did you do it!¡± ¡°Yeah, Big Brother Lin, you¡¯re really awesome!¡± He Qi quickly said.¡± Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s just a simple trick. There¡¯s nothing amazing about it.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Jiang Xin¡¯s mouth twitched. What kind of technique could increase the kill count to 7000? The average number of kills for new professionals in the D17 dungeon was only 730, but Lin Mo had increased it tenfold by himself! And it was a solo kill! However, Lin Mo¡¯s outstanding performance had already made Jiang Xin laugh so hard that she couldn¡¯t stop: A Black Iron Rank Warrior was actually an incredibly rare treasure! No matter how bad his talent was, from the looks of it now, he would definitely make a difference in the future! One had to know, not everyone could enter the D17 instance dungeon. They had to be the new students of the Legendary Academy, and each of them had to go through a strict selection before they could enter. However, Lin Mo¡¯s performance had left them so far behind. If the Heavenly Star Academy and the North Deep Academy saw this¡­ She didn¡¯t know what they would think. After all, Lin Mo¡¯s performance was too unbelievable. ¡°Alright, stop being glib. It¡¯s time to talk about your results.¡± ¡°According to the dungeon¡¯s kill count, your performance is outstanding!¡± ¡°Therefore, on behalf of the school, I will give you the resources of Level 7.¡± ¡°If you have any other questions, you can ask them.¡± ¡°Alright then, the rest of you follow me.¡± A few of them returned to the high-speed rail platform and finally entered the province. The skyscrapers in the city were towering, and it was nothing new compared to the prosperity of Northern City. Lin Mo looked out the window. All kinds of professionals could be seen everywhere, but most of them were third or fourth-transition professionals. Those who had some strength might not be so leisurely. Soon, they arrived at the Legend Academy. Lin Mo and He Qi couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in admiration at the magnificent entrance. After all, the Legendary Academy had once been glorious. Although the God of War had fallen, it was still a top-notch university that a first-rate university couldn¡¯t scam! Jiang Xin first came to a reception hall and registered He Qi and Lin Wenwen¡¯s information. Then, it was Lin Mo¡¯s turn. ¡°This ¡­ Teacher Jiang, we need the director¡¯s and your signatures. We¡¯re still missing one.¡± The staff member returned Lin Mo¡¯s information. ¡°Then let¡¯s go find that stubborn old man.¡± Jiang Xin shrugged and didn¡¯t care. She then returned to his original spot and sent the message, but Lin Mo was the only one who did not. Lin Mo did not find it strange. After all, the resources he obtained were at the seventh level. It should be Jiang Xin who needed to go through the complicated procedures. Then, He Qi and Lin Wenwen¡¯s handover work was completed, and they each went to the dormitory prepared by the university. Lin Mo followed Jiang Xin to a teaching building. ¡°Ms. Jiang, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m here to make arrangements for you.¡± ¡°Uh ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was full of questions. If they wanted to make arrangements, they shouldn¡¯t just go to the reception hall and fill in the new student form. How could they make arrangements in the teaching building? He came to a door with a sign that said ¡®Director¡¯s Office¡¯ hanging on it. Jiang Xin didn¡¯t stand at the ceremony at all. She didn¡¯t even knock on the door and directly opened it, ¡°Reporting, Captain Liu, I¡¯ve brought the person!¡± ¡°Tsk¡­¡± A man saw this and put his hand on his forehead with a helpless expression. He really didn¡¯t know how to discipline Jiang Xin. He simply locked his gaze on Lin Mo and looked past Jiang Xin. ¡°You are Lin Mo?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°On behalf of the Legendary Academy, I welcome Lin Mo to the academy.¡±Director Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, ¡°What do you think of the D17 instance dungeon?¡± A top scholar who was looked down upon by other top universities could actually do something unimaginable. Obviously, Lin Mo was not simple. However, as the director of the Legendary Academy, he understood that even teachers should not ask about the secrets of students unless the students took the initiative to ask. ¡°I think¡­The D17 instance dungeon is too simple.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Jiang Xin almost couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud when she heard this because she had already seen it before. Director Liu felt his head start to hurt. ¡°Then tell me how simple it is.¡± ¡°I think we should put in an elite zombie every time we kill 500 zombies to increase the difficulty.¡± Lin Mo looked serious. D17¡¯s endless dungeon was good in every aspect, except that there were fewer Eeites. After killing 7000 zombies, only one elite monster appeared. There was a BOSS in the Endless Instance Dungeon, but it obviously did not exist in the D17 Instance Dungeon, so Lin Mo did not mention it. ¡°Are you serious?¡± Director Liu¡¯s left eyelid twitched. It was hard to imagine that such words would actually come out of the mouth of a freshman. ¡°Of course.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He knew that his kill count seemed a little exaggerated, and it had already reached a height that most people could not understand. He wanted to hide this matter, but he couldn¡¯t just remain silent. Since that was the case, he would continue to act arrogant! ¡°Adding difficulty is easy for you to say. Although we are a top university, we are not powerful enough to change the contents of the dungeon.¡± Jiang Xin smiled bitterly. Lin Mo didn¡¯t care about this. Instead, he focused on Director Liu, who was rubbing his temples. ¡°You are really interesting. Since you think it¡¯s easy, how about I give you a challenge?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 28 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°The first-grade subjects are not difficult for you. Since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t you directly skip to the second grade? The second-year professionals have already entered the actual combat stage.¡± ¡°Of course, I will give you all the bonus for the first grade in advance.¡± ¡°If you want, do it!¡± Director Liu looked at Lin Mo seriously. Lin Mo did not expect that Jiang Xin would bring him to see the director to discuss skipping a grade. It was indeed unexpected. He had a rough understanding of the courses at the top universities. What the first grade needed to learn was basically the advanced version of the third-grade knowledge. If he wanted to fight, he would have to pass the first year to the second year. At the same time, Director Liu did not miss out on the scholarship for the first year. This treatment could be said to be extremely generous. ¡°Think about it carefully. There¡¯s no need to rush.¡± Jiang Xin poured a cup of tea. It seemed that she had already known about this. After all, she was the one who applied to Director Liu to skip a grade. In the beginning, Director Liu thought that Jiang Xin was just pestering him, but when he saw the dungeon results, his face instantly darkened. After asking the administrator repeatedly. Only then did he confirm that the instance dungeon had not malfunctioned. This result was truly proof! That was why he allowed Lin Mo to skip a grade. To put it bluntly, it was a gamble. He was betting that Lin Mo was not as useless as he looked. If Lin Mo, who had broken the record of the Legendary Academy in the D17 instance dungeon, was a good-for-nothing, wouldn¡¯t that mean that all the students who had entered the instance dungeon before were trash? Furthermore, Lin Mo skipping a grade was also beneficial to the Legendary Academy. They could use a few resources to obtain a student with unlimited possibilities! It was worth it! Before Director Liu came to the Legendary Academy, he was a professional on the frontline battlefield. He had seen too many things and also understood that this world was far more mysterious than they had imagined. If the world was described as a book with tens of thousands of pages, then the progress of humans was probably only on the third page. ¡°I accept!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice rang out. He had already considered it. Jumping a grade would be beneficial to him. There was no reason to refuse. Director Liu finally smiled when he saw Lin Mo¡¯s determined eyes, it was as if he had returned to the battlefield from back then. Countless professionals of the Dragon Country charged into the enemy¡¯s line of battle, killing the enemy and protecting the country. They were the strongest and most powerful professionals! As a result, he couldn¡¯t help but develop a good impression of Lin Mo. ¡°Good, you have the guts. I¡¯ll leave everything to Jiang Xin. She happens to be leading the second-grade Class B now. You can follow her.¡± ¡°Thank you, Director!¡± Then, Jiang Xin brought Lin Mo back to the reception hall. With the director¡¯s signature, the procedures were quickly completed. Lin Mo received the identity card of Class B andwas assigned to a single room. This was the treatment of the seventh grade, enjoying the highest standard of the legendary academy! The dormitory was about 30 square meters and had a double bed. ¡°How is it?¡± Jiang Xin¡¯s eyebrows jumped. She sat on the sofa and said, ¡°Every week, you can purchase daily necessities on the academy¡¯s official website. These supplies are all free. But remember, don¡¯t waste it!¡± ¡°In addition to these, the scholarship for the first year will arrive in three days at the latest. If you become rich, remember to treat me to a meal.¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Lin Mo chuckled. At the same time, he opened the official website of the Legendary Academy on his phone. There were all kinds of sections inside. Among them, there was a legendary supermarket that sold all kinds of daily necessities. From the reviews, there were countless good reviews. The only drawback was that it was too expensive. Students of level 7 had the right to purchase for free, but those below the 7th tier didn¡¯t have such good treatment. After that, there was also a forum in the official forum. The second-year forum was very active, with all kinds of posts. There were those who had experience and professional trolls. For example, assassins were the worst. They were despised by others when they were clearing dungeons, and they were very disgusting when they fought against professionals. The atmosphere of the warriors was not much better. Although Warriors were a necessary profession for every team, in high-intensity challenges, the role of Warriors determined the upper and lower limits of the team! He happened to see the comments of the smearing warrior: [The upper limit of a Warrior can be four at once, and the lower limit can be four at once!] The former was a warrior who was strong enough, even if he was a useless teammate. The warriors of the latter were ridiculously weak, and with excellent teammates, they could become the most cumbersome existence. Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw the humorous posts on the forum. Jiang Xin didn¡¯t stay any longer and told Lin Mo to prepare. Classes would start tomorrow. The freshmen still had three days off to adapt to the environment of the legendary academy, but the second year was not so relaxed. This was the moment to enter the actual combat stage. Lin Mohad to treat it seriously. After sending Jiang Xin off, Lin Mo packed his luggage and placed the eggs that his kind-hearted neighbor had given him into the double-door refrigerator. After everything was settled, he took a shower and lay on the bed. Every day before he went to bed, Lin Mo would browse through the black market. The scale of the black market in the province was much larger than that in Northern City! Just the equipment selection page alone showed 9999 pages! It was enough to imagine how large the number of professionals in the province was! As for the sale of passive skill books, Lin Mo was naturally dazzled. Unfortunately, at this stage, he couldn¡¯t afford those he liked, and he couldn¡¯t afford them. Passive skills were usually ten or even a hundred times more expensive than active skills! The biggest reason was that compared to active skills, passive skills were very rare. The active skill output was low, but the passive skill output was even better. Wouldn¡¯t it be even more expensive? Lin Mo smiled bitterly. He still had a scholarship of one million in his bank account. When the scholarship from the Legendary Academy came, he should be able to make a fortune. The sky was already dark. He went to the cafeteria of the Legendary Academy to have a full meal and immediately fell asleep when he came back. At the same time, Director Liu¡¯s coughing could be heard from the director¡¯s office in the teaching building. In front of him was the well-behaved Jiang Xin. This time, Jiang Xin came to inform Director Liu that she had promised to give Lin Mo double the resources. So ¡­ Of course, the scholarship would be doubled! It just so happened that Director Liu was drinking tea. It was already considered restrained enough that he did not spit it out when he heard it. ¡°Hey, you little girl.¡± Director Liu let out a long sigh but did not continue. After all, if Lin Mo was really a treasure¡­ He would not even bat an eye if he were to receive three times the resources, let alone double them. However, what they needed now was more of Lin Mo¡¯s performance!

Chapter 29 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Early in the morning, the Legend Academy was particularly lively. Most of the new students had already arrived at the school and were wandering around curiously as if they had arrived in a brand-new world. However, in the second-grade school district, a group of people came to class early. Everyone was very nervous about their upcoming studies. They were in the second grade, and the teachers would no longer welcome them with smiles. There were still harsh assessments waiting for them. At this moment, a figure that they felt unfamiliar with appeared. ¡°Second grade Class B, this is it.¡± Lin Mo entered the classroom and sat down in the back row. The surrounding students were shocked. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re in the wrong class. This is the second grade.¡± A boy walked over and smiled,¡±You look like you¡¯re in the first grade. You can¡¯t wait to come to class before school starts?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m indeed a student of Class B.¡± Lin Mo replied calmly. However, just as he was about to take out his identity card, laughter came from next door. ¡°Is there something wrong with this guy¡¯? If he¡¯s really a student of Class B, how could we not know him?¡± ¡°Could it be that Lao San went for plastic surgery?¡± ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s really possible!¡± ¡°Stop joking. How do you know he¡¯s not a new student?¡± A girl scolded angrily. However, the burly boy said with a teasing expression, ¡°Class monitor, have you heard that our school has had a transfer student recently?¡± After all, it was a top school. Someone must have leaked the news that he could transfer to the Legendary Academy. As for Lin Mo skipping a grade¡­ Other than Jiang Xin and Director Liu, only three people knew. Moreover, these three were all exhausted staff members. They were usually too busy to handle it. How could they have the time to gossip? ¡°Right, just look at his identity card.¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± ¡°You said you¡¯re from Class B. Can you take a look at your identity card?¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t reject the crowd¡¯s doubts, he took out his identity card. Everyone¡¯s eyes were instantly shocked, and their faces were filled with disbelief. ¡°Oh my god, could it really be a transfer student?¡± ¡°How fierce is this¡­F * ck, look at this!¡± When a student saw the words ¡°Black Iron Rank¡±, his eyes almost popped out. A mere warrior with a Black Iron Rank talent could actually transfer to their legendary academy. It was simply a big joke! ¡°I know!¡± At this moment, a thin man with a pointy mouth and ape-like cheeks stood up and shouted, ¡°This identity card must be forged!¡± As soon as he said this, he received the approval of many people. ¡°Indeed, he can¡¯t even understand how to forge, but he got a Black Iron Rank talent.¡± ¡°Hahahaha, this is definitely the biggest joke I¡¯ve ever seen in my life!¡± ¡°Brother, you even dare to forge the identity card of the Legendary Academy.¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Amidst the commotion, Lin Mo remained unmoved. After all, whether it was a fake identity card or not, Jiang Xin would naturally know when she came. The class monitor, who had spoken up for Lin Mo earlier, also leaned over, ¡°May I ask about your identity card¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m a new student.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words made the class monitor frown. In her opinion, Lin Mo¡¯s answer was even more ridiculous than before! Jumping grades was not something that did not happen in ordinary universities, but this was a top university. Students here were all outstanding professionals, so the intensity of the competition could be imagined. If one wanted to skip a grade, not only did one have to have extraordinary strength, but one also had to perform well that other students did not. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s wait for the teacher to come.¡± The class monitor did not want to care about this kind of thing, so he simply returned to his seat. However, the other students obviously wouldn¡¯t let Lin Mo off. ¡°Hurry up and get lost now. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame us for being rude.¡± ¡°lying to us, you are really tired of living!¡± ¡°Let me do it!¡± A burly man rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder, trying to lift him up with his strength. However, in less than three seconds, his face turned ashen. He realized that he couldn¡¯t move Lin Mo. He was a warrior. His attribute points were even more inclined toward Strength, and he already had 87 points! Among those of the same level, it was already considered to be above average. However, he did not expect that he would not be able to mention Lin Mo. The burly man¡¯s face darkened as he sized up Lin Mo. Lin Mo smiled. The other party was indeed powerful, but he would not let him do as he pleased. Moreover, the gap between them did not seem to be that big, so it was not mentioned. Just as the situation was in a stalemate,suddenly, someone said, ¡°Teacher is here!¡± Everyone hurriedly left Lin Mo behind and returned to their seats. It seemed that Jiang Xin¡¯s impression of them was that she had a strict personality. Jiang Xin was wearing a fresh uniform. She walked into the classroom and onto the podium. The first thing she noticed was Lin Mo sitting in the back row. ¡°Teacher, I want to report!¡± Suddenly, the burly man raised his hand and said, ¡°There¡¯s a liar in the class. He even forged an identity card!¡± Seeing this, Jiang Xin seemed to understand the whole thing: ¡°Put your hands down. This is your new classmate. Don¡¯t offend him!¡± However, the entire class was in an uproar. ¡°F * ck, it¡¯s actually a new student, but¡­ but¡­¡± ¡°Black Iron Rank students, is the Legendary Academy not that picky now?¡± ¡°Tsk, he must have come through the back door.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense. If the form teacher hears this, you won¡¯t be able to bear the consequences!¡± ¡°¡­..¡± The students were all shocked by the new student. But at the same time, they were guessing Lin Mo¡¯s identity. They did not think that a professional with a Black Iron Rank talent would be recruited by the Legendary Academy, so Lin Mo would definitely make an issue out of his identity. Lin Mo did not pay much attention to these words. He stood up and began to introduce himself. ¡°My name is Lin Mo, and I¡¯m from Northern City. I¡¯m this year¡¯s top scorer.¡± ¡°F * ck, I knew this guy wasn¡¯t simple!¡± However, not only did the self-introduction not explain clearly, it made the students even more certain: Lin Mo definitely had connections! Otherwise, how could he become the top scorer with his Black Iron Rank talent? Seeing this scene, Jiang Xin, who was on the podium, was a little embarrassed. This matter was too inconceivable. Even other teachers would suspect Lin Mo¡¯s identity if they saw this. If this situation continued, sooner or later, Lin Mo would be rumored to be the illegitimate son of the principal of the Legendary Academy. But there was no other way. Lin Mo¡¯s terrifying admission assessment results were too shocking, so Director Liu had personally set it to a confidential state. Therefore, in the eyes of others, Lin Mo was just an ordinary professional. ¡°Ahem, quiet!¡± Jiang Xin immediately shouted. After controlling the situation, she said coldly, ¡°If anyone mutters again, go stand outside!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 30 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW The students didn¡¯t dare to challenge the dignity of their form teacher, the entire place instantly fell silent. Then, Jiang Xin began to explain the new curriculum for the second grade, which was to enter the actual combat segment. Since Lin Mo had just skipped a grade, Jiang Xin took care of him. As a result, the students were even more certain of their suspicions! Lin Mo didn¡¯t care. There was no need to forcefully integrate into a circle that was not one¡¯s own. The one who would suffer if he forcefully integrated into it would be himself. On the podium, Jiang Xin quickly wrote down the next task for the students on the blackboard. ¡°It¡¯s the new semester, and the entrance exams are inevitable.¡± ¡°You have one day to clear three iron-level dungeons. The lowest difficulty must be at the hard level!¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t complete it, you should know what the punishment is.¡± As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, there was already a wave of wails and howls coming from below. In an ordinary school, allowing a novice professional to clear three iron-level dungeons in a day was basically the intensity of the final exam. However, in the Legend Academy, it was only the back-to-school exam, so everyone complained repeatedly, but in reality, they were just a little unwilling. With their strength, it was very easy for them to clear the iron-level dungeon, there was no difficulty at all. The only problem was that the entrances to the dungeons were very far apart. It was rare for dungeons of the same level to coexist in each area. Therefore, if he wanted to clear three iron-level dungeons in a day, he would have to travel around. This was the reason why everyone was complaining! ¡°Other than this, there¡¯s another matter! In order to welcome the new students, I hope that everyone will take the initiative to help the new students adapt to the intensity of the tasks in the class.¡± Jiang Xin said. The entire place fell silent again. This time, it was even quieter than before. ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t this a burden?¡± The burly man could not hold it in and directly said, ¡°In terms of level, there¡¯s a huge difference. There¡¯s no way to bring them!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Although some iron-level dungeons can be entered by six people, the difficulty will also increase.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s a fool to bring Lin Mo along? It¡¯s not like we¡¯re just trying to increase the difficulty for ourselves.¡± ¡°Our team¡¯s results aren¡¯t good, so we can¡¯t bring Lin Mo along.¡± ¡°¡­..¡± The students all insisted on their own opinions, not wanting Lin Mo to join their team. Just as the brawny student had said, most of the second-year professionals had already reached level 20. Under such circumstances, Lin Mo wanted to get involved, which was not realistic at all. Due to the difference in levels, even a Warrior would not be able to withstand more than a few attacks from the monsters in the dungeon. It was the same as the effect of not having any warriors. Then why did they bring him? Lin Mo slowly stood up when he heard everyone¡¯s words, ¡°Teacher, I can do it alone.¡± This sentence was like a bomb in deep water, causing the classroom to burst into laughter. ¡°Is there really nothing wrong with this person¡¯s brain?¡± ¡°Brother, you¡¯re awesome. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such an arrogant freshman.¡± ¡°Come on, brother. Do you think you¡¯re like those freaks from Class A? You¡¯re still soloing dungeons.¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Everyone¡¯s words were filled with disdain. Class A was the class of the most outstanding professionals in the Legendary Academy. Almost all of their talents were above the platinum level. They were carefully taken care of by the Legendary Academy, and there were less than 20 people in each batch. Such an outstanding professional would basically be far ahead of other professionals in their professional characteristics after being taught by the Legendary Academy. Therefore, it was not impossible for them to solo dungeons. However, what Jiang Xin and Director Liu really admired about Lin Mo was not his ability to solo the Iron-level Hard Mode dungeon, but his outstanding performance in the Endless Dungeon. But this time, Jiang Xin was against it. That was because she was really too curious about what kind of methods Lin Mo had, could he break the curse of a Black Iron Rank talent? She wanted to satisfy her curiosity. ¡°You¡¯ve just entered the school, so you should find a team to stay with to avoid any problems.¡± ¡°Since no one is willing to take the initiative, I¡¯ll start taking attendance.¡± In the eyes of the students, Jiang Xin was like a demon who was about to whisper. They prayed crazily in his heart: Don¡¯t choose themselves! Finally, Jiang Xin¡¯s gaze fell on the class monitor and she smiled.¡±Liu Yiyi, why don¡¯t you work harder and guide your new classmate?¡± ¡°Yes, no problem.¡± Class monitor Liu Yiyi nodded without any objections. However, as her classmates on the same team, all of them felt embarrassed. ¡°F * ck, what sin did I commit in my previous life? I have to dungeon with a Warrior with a Black Iron Rank talent!¡± ¡°Teacher didn¡¯t do it on purpose, did he?¡± ¡°¡­¡± A few of them looked at Lin Mo with a hint of anger. Obviously, they were venting their anger on Jiang Xin. Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders. There was nothing to explain. The team led by Liu Yiyi had average results in the class. This was also Jiang Xin¡¯s goal: If the overall strength of the team was low, Lin Mo would have a better chance of performing. Everyone placed great importance on the opening exam. This was because it concerned the results of the graduation assessment and affected the path of employment in all aspects today. For example, job-holder students with excellent grades in school would be arranged to join the military if they had the chance after graduation. This was an opportunity that every job-holder dreamed of. However, if it was bad, the school would only give you a recommendation letter to a certain guild. Your future was far less dazzling than being in the army. It might affect their future, but it wouldn¡¯t affect them too much. However, as professionals, they understood the principle of missing a thousand miles by hair. ¡°Not bad, Old Hu. The team has a top scorer. We¡¯ve finally managed to cling onto someone¡¯s thigh!¡± ¡°Get lost. Don¡¯t bother me.¡± Hu Li rolled his eyes. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He was a warrior in the team. He had a Gold talent and focused on defense. The team was already lacking in damage output. As a result, the team¡¯s results in the first year were not ideal. Now that there was another person who was dragging them down, they wished they could kick Lin Mo out. ¡°Brother Hu, what should we do?¡± At this moment, the team¡¯s priest ran over and asked, ¡°We have to clear three Black-Iron dungeons in a row today. With one more person, our progress will definitely be very slow.¡± Hu Li sighed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Let me think of a way. If I can persuade this guy to leave, it¡¯ll save me a lot of trouble.¡± At this point, the mages in the team suddenly jumped out: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me.¡± Then, he strode over to Lin Mo, took out a silver card from his pocket, and slapped it on the table. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 31 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Lin Mo was a little confused when he saw this. The mage student thought he was handsome and smiled, ¡°There¡¯s 200,000 yuan in the card. Take the money and don¡¯t pester us.¡± To be honest, Lin Mo didn¡¯t want to communicate with him at all. He felt that just by getting close, he could feel that silly aura. At this moment, Liu Yiyi rushed forward and pulled the mage away: ¡°Sun Bin, don¡¯t cause trouble!¡± Hearing this, Sun Bin was rather unconvinced and said, ¡°What do you mean by causing trouble? I¡¯m contributing to the team!¡± Using 200,000 gold coins could improve his results a little, so he wouldn¡¯t be stingy. ¡°This was arranged by the teacher. If you have the guts, give 200,000 to teacher!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Liu Yiyi¡¯s words rendered Sun Bin speechless. If he had the ability, he would have jumped out to stop it at the first moment. Why would he wait until now to speak? ¡°Lin Mo, I¡¯m sorry. My team members have offended you.¡± ¡°No worries. This student is very humorous.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Seeing this, Liu Yiyi seemed relieved on the surface, but she was actually still worried, and felt that Lin Mo would drag down the team¡¯s progress. However, the difference was that Liu Yiyi did not do it for the results. Instead, she did it to clear the dungeon and sell the materials she obtained to earn gold coins. The professionals who could enter the legendary academy would receive a scholarship every month. Therefore, they would not be short of money. However, Liu Yiyi was different. Because of her poor family background, she had almost the same experience as Lin Mo: Her parents had lost contact with him during an instance dungeon. There was almost no chance of survival. Therefore, Liu Yiyi could only rely on herself since she was young. At the same time, she had to take care of her frail sister to survive. Fortunately, her luck was not bad. Liu Yiyi¡¯s talent was at Gold Rank and she was successfully accepted by the Legendary Academy. But last year, her sister suddenly fell ill. Every month, she would need to spend more than 100,000 gold coins to maintain his life! Liu Yiyi¡¯s resources were at the fourth level, and she could receive 70,000 gold coins every month. Other than that, Liu Yiyi could only continue to clear the iron-level dungeon, sell the materials and equipment she obtained, and buy medicine to keep her sister alive. The girls of the same age were all dressed in gorgeous clothes at this youthful age, but she was still wearing her high school uniform. It was even more so for her equipment. She was wearing a full set of Black Iron equipment. Even though she was already in his second year, there were still empty equipment slots. Therefore, she was often teased by the students in the class. They thought that Liu Yiyi was just stingy and didn¡¯t know about her family background. However, as an obedient girl in Jiang Xin¡¯s eyes, Liu Yiyi would not refuse to bring Lin Mo into the dungeon. Soon, the students had already chosen the instance dungeon and were heading to the entrance of the instance dungeon to prepare for the exam. On Liu Yiyi¡¯s side, she was holding a list of dungeons and was in an intense discussion. Lin Mo has joined the team, they could no longer challenge normal 5-man dungeons. Thus, they could only set their sights on the 6-10 player dungeon! Such dungeons were larger in scale, and the difficulty of the Hard Mode would increase or decrease according to the situation. ¡°Do you want to go to this dungeon?¡± ¡°No, we need to buy a bunch of antidotes for it¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± The entire team dawdled, unable to pick a specific instance dungeon as the test target. Lin Mo, who was seen as the main culprit, was also rather helpless. How about ¡­ solo leveling? With a super god-level passive skill, his combat style had already exceeded the understanding of ordinary professionals. If he formed a team, it was inevitable that he would be restrained. But at this moment, Hu Li suddenly shouted, ¡°I¡¯ll choose this!¡± He was pointing at a dungeon. It was the iron-level dungeon [Crying Forest]. ¡°Brother Hu, are you still asleep?¡± Sun Bin¡¯s mouth twitched as he reminded, ¡°Although we did clear it once, we were lucky that time. Do you really think we can clear it?¡± During the holidays, the students of the Legendary Academy would often be active in various dungeons. Liu Yiyi¡¯s team had challenged the Crying Forest once. The difficulty was above average, and they were already familiar with the specific mission flow because they had cleared it once. ¡°Why do you talk so much nonsense?¡± ¡°It¡¯s precisely because we¡¯ve cleared it before that we have a higher chance of clearing it a second time. Do you understand?¡± After Hu Li rolled his eyes, his gaze fell on Liu Yiyi. She was the captain of this team, therefore, Liu Yiyi would be the one to make the final decision. Liu Yiyi thought about it carefully and agreed with Hu Li¡¯s idea: ¡°Indeed, although the Crying Forest is difficult for us, there is a huge difference between those with experience and those without. So it¡¯s not impossible to clear the second round.¡± ¡°Lin Mo, what do you think?¡± Lin Mo could only smile bitterly when he was asked for his opinion: ¡°I¡¯ll listen to the class monitor.¡± After making up their minds, the team immediately began to move. Leaving the Legendary Academy, they took a bus and arrived at the outskirts of the southern city gate. There were many professionals here. Other than a few students, there were also professionals from the guild who were active here. ¡°Listen up, after we enter¡­¡± ¡°F * ck, Brother Hu, so this is what you¡¯re thinking. No wonder you chose the Crying Forest!¡± ¡°Awesome, Brother Hu!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± The team¡¯s priests, mages, and assassins all surrounded Hu Li. When they learned that the purpose of choosing the Crying Forest was to teach Lin Mo a lesson, they all gave Hu Li a thumbs up. ¡°Don¡¯t make any mistakes.¡± Hu Li laughed coldly. At the same time, his gaze landed on Lin Mo¡¯s back. He couldn¡¯t wait to implement his perfect plan! In his eyes, Lin Mo was just a person who had connections. If a mere top scholar was really capable, how could his name not be known? It was easy for a second-year student to toy with a newcomer. Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi walked side by side in front of him. Along the way, Liu Yiyi taught him the things that he needed to pay attention to in the dungeon. ¡°Lin Mo, you must pay attention to the spiders in the dungeon. Their sharp teeth carry a kind of poison that can instantly kill a level 30 professional!¡± ¡°Understood.¡± ¡°Also, be careful when pulling aggro. Don¡¯t let the aggro shift¡­¡± ¡°Understood¡­¡± Lin Mo felt as if he had returned to No.2 Middle School. He could hear Li Mei¡¯s chattering class. Although most of this knowledge was useless to him, he was somewhat impressed that Liu Yiyi had actually studied an instance dungeon to such an extent.

Chapter 32 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW When they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, Liu Yiyi, the team leader, nervously selected the difficult difficulty and clicked to enter. The six figures disappeared from the dungeon entrance. ¡°Welcome¡­Coming to the Crying Forest¡­¡± A low voice rang out in Lin Mo¡¯s mind, waiting for him to react, he found himself in a forest, but there were no other team members around. Just as Liu Yiyi had said, to clear the Crying Forest, they needed to find teammates in the early stages. When saw the monster, just turn around and run without hesitation. This was because a place with monsters meant that it was the right path, and currently, one person was not enough to advance the dungeon¡¯s progress. Lin Mo opened the mission panel. As expected, it showed that he had to find his teammates as soon as possible. This was the first phase of the mission. However, just as Lin Mo was about to take action, a shout suddenly came from not far away. ¡°Lin Mo!¡± Sun Bin, who was wearing a mage robe, rushed over and said with a tired expression, ¡°I¡¯ve finally found you. You¡¯ve exhausted me.¡± ¡°Hurry up and go. You¡¯re the only one waiting!¡± After saying that, he made a hand gesture to follow. Seeing this, Lin Mo didn¡¯t find it strange, because Liu Yiyi¡¯s team had already cleared the Crying Forest once. Knowing that after entering the instance dungeon, it was normal for his teammates to appear. He simply followed. Soon, he met up with the others. ¡°Where¡¯s the captain?¡± Lin Mo looked around and realized that Liu Yiyi was the only one missing. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe they¡¯ve already gone to the entrance to wait for us. Don¡¯t waste time,¡± Hu Li said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s hurry over too.¡± The team began to move forward and came to the entrance of a winding path. There were rustling sounds ahead. Clearly, there were monsters patrolling. ¡°Sun Bin, don¡¯t be rash later.¡± ¡°Priests, don¡¯t be in a hurry to heal.¡± Everyone gathered in a circle and Hu Li skillfully assigned their tasks. However, Lin Mo was still very confused. The first phase of the mission had not been completed yet, so why was he in a hurry to advance? After all, there was no time limit for the mission. ¡°Lin Mo, you¡¯ll be in charge of luring the monsters. That shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Lin Mo nodded and accepted Hu Li¡¯s assignment. However, when he entered the winding path and saw the monster¡¯s attributes, he noticed something strange. [Name: Rusted Iron Armor Knight] [Level: 19] [HP: 2100] [Skills: Stabbing, Charge, Slash] ¡­ Under the difficult dynamic difficulty, because of the other five professions, the Iron Armor Knight¡¯s attribute panel was a little high. What caught Lin Mo¡¯s attention was that the iron-armored knight¡¯s movement speed was very fast. Its patrolling on the winding path took only nine seconds to cover a distance of 100 meters. At the same time, the first iron-armored knight was closer to the second. If the timing was wrong, it was very easy to lure two iron-armored knights at the same time. From all aspects, luring monsters wasn¡¯t as easy as it looked. If they were careless, they would make a mistake and attract too many monsters, resulting in the team being wiped out. With the current strength of the team, they could only fight one iron-armored knight at a time. If there were two of them, there would be a huge risk of losing members. Lin Mo didn¡¯t want to measure a gentleman¡¯s belly with a villain¡¯s heart. However, it was obvious that Hu Li and the others knew that luring monsters was a quest that required a lot of experience and timing. Furthermore, there was no reminder when assigning tasks. ¡°Playing dirty?¡± Lin Mo sneered. It was normal to scheme against monsters in an instance dungeon, but he did not expect to have to fight with his teammates today. Teaming up was indeed too troublesome. Lin Mo would not swallow his anger in such a situation. In the future, he might have to cross paths with Hu Li and the others, but this time, he would give in, and the next time, the other party would push his luck. Since that was the case, Lin Mo didn¡¯t mind giving them a surprise. He immediately stepped forward to attract the attention of the iron-armored knight.Due to the distance, the second iron-armored knight also sensed Lin Mo¡¯s presence. ¡°Intruders¡­Kill!¡± ¡°Intruders¡­Kill!¡± The two iron-armored knights let out muffled sounds as they raised their swords and charged at Lin Mo. Lin Mo, who was already prepared, immediately ran away. When he returned to the entrance, there was no one there. As he expected, Hu Li teamed up with his other three teammates to hide the truth from Liu Yiyi, trying to send Lin Mo to his death! At the same time, on the other side, Liu Yiyi shuttled through the forest with a frown. But with a shout, she finally found her teammate. ¡°Captain, have you seen Lin Mo?¡± Sun Bin ran all the way here and panted heavily.¡±We¡¯ve been looking for him for a long time, but we haven¡¯t found him.¡± ¡°Is he not with you?¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°How is that possible? This forest is very small.¡± Liu Yiyi frowned and opened the team panel. She checked the status and information of each member and found that Lin Mo was fine. His HP was still at 100%, and his mana did not decrease. This meant that he had not encountered any battle. ¡°Have you searched the winding path?¡± ¡°No!¡± Sun Bin lied through his teeth and said, ¡°But it seems¡­I saw Lin Mo before, but he didn¡¯t respond to me at all.¡± The task Hu Li assigned Sun Bin was to stall Liu Yiyi. The longer he delayed, the better. There was no time limit for the first stage of the Crying Forest. As long as Lin Mo was eliminated, they would immediately meet up and push forward the progress of the dungeon. Even if Liu Yiyi pursued the matter, Hu Li and the others had nothing to fear. As teammates, they didn¡¯t know Liu Yiyi¡¯s family background, but they knew that she was short of money, so she wouldn¡¯t fall out over such a small matter. Soon, under Sun Bin¡¯s lead, Liu Yiyi, Hu Li, and the others gathered together. However, when faced with Lin Mo¡¯s whereabouts,none of them knew anything. ¡°I really don¡¯t know where Lin Mo is. I¡¯ve been following Brother Hu!¡± ¡°By the way, monitor, didn¡¯t you tell him the meeting point?¡± ¡°¡­..¡± Liu Yiyi¡¯s expression became even more solemn, her eyes kept staring at the party panel. ¡°If we split up and look for him now, we¡¯ll be finished if he accidentally enters the winding path!¡± Liu Yiyi¡¯s words made everyone laugh coldly. Under Hu Li¡¯s guidance, Lin Mo had already entered the winding path and was probably running for his life. Hu Li was the proudest. After all, he was the one who thought of this method. The only pity was that he didn¡¯t get to see Lin Mo¡¯s sorry state with his own eyes. ¡°Alright, class monitor, wait here. We¡¯ll go find him.¡± ¡°Yes. If he comes over, you can help Lin Mo.¡± After the three of them finished speaking, they prepared to run elsewhere to fish. However, before he could take a few steps, his eyes suddenly froze. ¡°Why did you stop?¡± ¡± Don¡¯t be lazy. Go find Lin Mo! ¡± Hu Li stepped forward and berated. However, after immediately seeing a figure in front of him, Hu Li¡¯s mouth was wide open as he fell into deep shock. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 33 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°Bang bang bang-¡± ¡°Bang bang bang-¡± ¡°¡­.¡± In the line of sight of Hu Li and the others, there were actually five iron-armored knights approaching them with swift steps. Apart from them, there was also Lin Mo with a smile: ¡°I¡¯ve finally found you!¡± These words almost scared Hu Li and the others to death. He had pulled five iron-armored knights. How could they possibly defeat them? ¡°Go away! Who told you to pull so many monsters?!¡± Hu Li scolded.¡± ¡°You.¡± ¡°Bullshit!¡± Seeing the iron-armored knights getting closer and closer, Hu Li could no longer sit still and was ready to escape. However, he did not expect a figure to pass by him. Lin Mo was now wearing almost no equipment. He was wearing black sportswear, grabbed Liu Yiyi¡¯s arm, and continued running. Escaping with the least burden was Lin Mo¡¯s secret to luring monsters without being caught. As for Hu Li, Sun Bin, and the other two, they weren¡¯t so lucky. When Lin Mo rushed over, they were stunned for a few seconds. In those few seconds, the iron-armored knight had already shifted a portion of his aggro. The attack was aimed at Hu Li. ¡°Clang!¡± Hu Li¡¯s shield caught the sword, but the rebound force made Huli¡¯s arm numb. Not only that, but the other iron-armored knight also attacked. ¡°Be careful, Brother Hu!¡± Sun Bin shouted, but he was completely unaware that an iron-armored knight was approaching him from behind. A few seconds later, other than Hu Li, who had higher HP and Defense, the other three teammates were all killed by the Iron-armored Knight in one strike! Hu Li clutched his thigh, unable to escape. However, before he died, he saw the iron-armored knight raise the sword in his hand step by step. The fear in his eyes could no longer be suppressed. ¡°Ding! Team member Hu Li is dead!¡± A notification sounded. Liu Yiyi flung Lin Mo¡¯s hand away and shouted angrily, ¡°What exactly do you want!¡± In just a few seconds, four members of his team had died! This was something she could not accept. Looking at the empty area around him, Lin Mo casually found a tree to lean against and chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m just returning the favor.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Liu Yiyi frowned. It was obvious that she had no idea about Hu Li and the others ¡®plans, she was completely kept in the dark. Lin Mo sighed and asked, ¡± Previously, you said that you had cleared this instance dungeon. Then, I would like to ask, you will definitely agree on a meeting point for the first stage, right?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Li Yiyi nodded. ¡°I forgot to tell you before I came in, but what does it matter?¡± ¡°Of course, it matters a lot.¡± Lin Mo shrugged and continued, ¡°In order to get me out of the party, those guys spent a lot of effort. They first left you aside, found me, and then asked me to lure the monsters. Monitor, you should know what will happen if you let a newbie lure the monsters, right?¡± Liu Yiyi was speechless. It was even more difficult to explain further. It was indeed a little strange to have Lin Mo go to lure monsters and then disappear for no reason. Even without direct evidence. Liu Yiyi also knew that this was indeed something Hu Li would do. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, monitor. I didn¡¯t mean it.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Liu Yiyi said as she sat on the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes. Then, she buried her head in her knees and cried. Lin Mo was stunned. ¡°Why are you crying all of a sudden?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be. It¡¯s just a back-to-school exam.¡± Hu Li and the others, who had already left the instance dungeon, were all furious. They held their weapons and sat at the door. They were prepared to find Lin Mo and demand an explanation, no longer caring about the exams. But in reality, Liu Yiyi didn¡¯t care about the results of the exam. She only cared about clearing the instance dungeon and the benefits it would bring. Could she buy medicine to prolong his sister¡¯s life? Lin Mo didn¡¯t know how to comfort Liu Yiyi when he saw her crying so sadly. After waiting for a while, Lin Mo looked at the time he had spent in the dungeon for more than 15 minutes. Although there was no time limit for the dungeon, there was a time limit for the exam. It would take at least four to five hours to travel back and forth between the three dungeons. Including the time spent clearing the dungeon, they would have to spend the entire day on it. ¡°You rest first. I¡¯ll go clear the monsters.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo got up and rushed toward the winding path. ¡°Wait!¡± Liu Yiyi, who remained in her spot, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She did not believe that Lin Mo could solo the Iron-armored Knight in the Crying Forest Instance Dungeon. Each of these monsters had more than 1,000 HP, and their attributes were quite balanced. They had cleared the previous rounds one by one. Lin Mo was a Warrior who had yet to change his profession. It was simply nonsense for him to try to solo. However, Lin Mo had already returned to the winding path. A few iron-armored knights had already returned to their original positions because they had lost their aggro. When Lin Mo appeared again, they burst out with intense killing intent again. They raised their swords and rushed over. In an instant, Lin Mo switched to his battle flag shield and received the attack. ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The attacks of the three iron-armored knights came from three directions. Lin Mo couldn¡¯t block them all. However, there was no need to block it. Taking out the shield was just for show. The King¡¯s Divine Shield was activated at this moment. At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s HP had only dropped by 1%. On the other hand, the three iron-armored knights received quite a bit of damage. Each of them had lost nearly 600 HP! ¡°Don¡¯t waste time.¡± Lin Mo raised the Hurricane Greatsword in his hand and slashed at an iron-armored knight. However, it did not fly away. The iron-armored knight was indeed more courageous than before after being provoked. He waved his sword and charged at Lin Mo. When the attack landed, the damage caused was still strange! ¡°-0!¡± ¡°-33!¡± ¡°-30!¡± ¡­ On the other hand, the Iron-armored Knight had suffered the counterattack effect of the Armor of Thorns, losing another 25% of his HP. A few seconds later, a notification sounded in his ear. The same monster being killed sounded completely different to Liu Yiyi. ¡°Ding! Party member Lin Mo has killed the ¡®Rusted Iron Knight.¡¯ However, because you are not within the range, you cannot receive any experience points!¡± ¡°Ding! Party member Lin Mo has killed the ¡®Rusted Iron Knight.¡¯ However, because you are not within the range, you cannot receive any experience points!¡± ¡®Ding¡­Party member Lin Mo has killed¡­¡¯ The system announcement rang out three times in total, leaving Liu Yiyi rooted to the spot. She could not believe what she had just heard. Lin Mo could actually solo a Level 19 Iron-armored Knight!? After taking a few more steps, Liu Yiyi came to a winding path. When she saw the bodies of the iron-armored knights scattered on the ground, her eyes widened like bells.

Chapter 34 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW From the outside, these three iron-armored knights did not suffer too much damage. From this point of view, Lin Mo¡¯s methods were very light. ¡°Could it be a rapier?¡± Liu Yiyi frowned and continued to observe, wanting to find out: How did Lin Mo single-handedly kill three Iron-armored Knights? However, at this moment, Lin Mo happened to return and witness this scene. ¡°Are you tired from crying?¡± Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi recalled how she had burst into tears when she couldn¡¯t control her emotions, and her face instantly turned red. She had been under too much pressure all these years, especially this year. She couldn¡¯t slack off in the dungeon every day! ¡°How did you deal with them?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very simple. Just a little technique and a little strength will do.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Liu Yiyi looked as if she had seen a ghost, her pupils trembling. Regardless, since Lin Mo could solo the monsters in the Crying Forest, he would not return empty-handed. ¡°Let me help you too.¡± Liu Yiyi took a deep breath and took out a dagger. She was an assassin. In this dungeon,Iron Armor Knights usually moved alone, as long as they didn¡¯t attract more than two monsters, Assassins could also deal a lot of damage. However, after each burst, the assassin had to rest for at least three minutes. This was the most awkward part of an assassin in an instance dungeon. The cooldown of other classes ¡®skills was slightly longer, at most half a minute or a minute. However, the Assassin¡¯s critical hit only lasted for 30 seconds, and the cooldown was three minutes! Lin Mo knew this all too well: ¡°No need. You¡¯re in charge of luring the monsters.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Liu Yiyi saw the hope of making up for her losses, so she braced herself for battle. However, she didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo to reject her before she even started. To be honest, she also understood that her strength was actually not bad, but her endurance was too short. Lin Mo didn¡¯t explain further. After comforting her, he asked Liu Yiyi to lure the monsters. In the beginning, Liu Yiyi wanted to be on the safe side, so she lured monsters one by one. Lin Mo wouldn¡¯t let the Iron-armored Knight beat him up in front of outsiders. Therefore, he held his shield and Hurricane Greatsword and killed the monster in three rounds. However, Lin Mo felt that it was a little slow. After killing an iron-armored knight, it usually took more than 20 seconds for the next iron-armored knight to appear. The killing efficiency was equivalent to killing two monsters in one minute. The progress was so slow. However, in Liu Yiyi¡¯s eyes, this speed was already faster than when she had cleared the level. She was very curious about how high Lin Mo¡¯s attack power was. He could actually kill an iron-armored knight in 30 seconds! ¡°Why don¡¯t you go and pull another monster?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice rang out. Liu Yiyi froze on the spot and asked in disbelief, ¡°You mean you want to solo two Iron Armor Knights?¡± At this moment, she finally understood why the Legendary Academy would recruit Lin Mo, who had a Black Iron Rank talent! Because of Lin Mo¡¯s performance was completely not what a Black Iron Rank talent should show! Killing an Iron-armored Knight in 30 seconds was something that even an Assassin like her would find difficult to achieve. But in Lin Mo¡¯s hands, it became extremely simple! ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If anything happens, I¡¯ll ask you for help.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. ¡°Alright, be careful!¡± After Liu Yiyi nodded, she immediately lured the two iron-armored knights back. The two iron-armored knights shifted their aggro and raised their swords to slash at Lin Mo! ¡°Clang!¡± The moment the attack landed on the battle flag shield, Lin Mo¡¯s Hurricane Greatsword also landed on the two iron-armored knights. From Liu Yiyi¡¯s perspective, the iron-armored knight¡¯s lost HP was entirely due to Lin Mo¡¯s attack. ¡°What high attack power!¡± Liu Yiyi praised againand did not notice anything unusual. ¡°It seems like it¡¯s still easy. Let¡¯s continue pulling one more.¡± The two iron-armored knights fell by his feet, and Lin Mo smiled. Since he wanted efficiency, he had to follow through. According to the current progress, it would take two to three hours to clear the level. This was too slow. Liu Yiyi didn¡¯t question it anymore and started to attract the iron-armored knights. Lin Mo immediately brandished the Hurricane Greatsword in his hand and launched a storm-like attack at the iron-armored knight! At the same time, he didn¡¯t dodge the iron-armored knights and used his battle flag shield to block them. The first stage was to meet up with his teammates. Since four of his teammates had died, the only ones left were Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi, so the mission had been completed long ago. The second stage was to pass through the winding path. Along the way, there were at least 30 iron-armored knights blocking their way. Under Lin Mo¡¯s extremely efficient attacks, he pushed his way forward while Liu Yiyi was busy running back and forth. Liu Yiyi didn¡¯t understand how Lin Mo had done all of this, but she didn¡¯t need to understand. As long as there was a chance to clear the dungeon, Liu Yiyi would not ask anything, she would even take the initiative to avoid Lin Mo¡¯s battle. Every professional had their own secrets, and Liu Yiyi knew that she shouldn¡¯t pry into them. Ten minutes later, as the last iron-armored knight fell, Lin Mo looked at the end of the path, it was the front yard of a mansion. ¡°Next up is an elite monster, you have to be careful.¡±It will summon small monsters to delay us!¡± Liu Yiyi explained.¡± ¡°How¡¯s the damage?¡± ¡°Very high! Hu Li will be instantly killed if he is attacked,¡± Liu Yiyi said seriously.¡± Seeing this, Lin Mo nodded. He already knew the situation here. Elite monsters had high attacks, which was a good thing for him. Then, in the pitch-black night, a figure suddenly floated in the garden of the front yard. It was wearing black armor and holding two blades. [Name: Dark Knight] [Title: Servant of the Wailing Lord] [Level: 19] [HP: 8101] [Skills: Leap Cleave, Flaming Blade, Swift Blade Slash] ¡­ With nearly 10,000 HP, Liu Yiyi felt despair. ¡°When we cleared the dungeon, we happened to encounter a special event.¡± ¡°The Black Knight who went to meet the Wailing Lord came back with a residual HP of 5,000.¡± Clearly, they were not so lucky this time. However, Lin Mo looked at his own HP and then at the Black Knight¡¯s HP. He was already feeling despair for the Black Knight. As Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi stepped into the garden, the Dark Knight drew his twin blades. ¡°Intruder, leave this place. This is my warning.¡± At the same time, three iron-armored knights appeared in the surroundings. This was the monster summoned by the Black Knight. It needed other professionals to lure it away and then attack the Black Knight. It seemed easy. However, if there was a mistake on both sides, it would be a fatal outcome for ordinary teams. ¡°You go to lure the monsters, leave this to me.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Liu Yiyi immediately started to act on Lin Mo¡¯s assignment. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°Since you are not retreating¡­Then die!¡± The Dark Knight held his two blades and jumped toward Lin Mo. This was its skill, Leap Strike! The backswing was extremely powerful, but the damage was extremely high. Even if the normal warriors had high defense and high health, they would not dare to take this attack head-on. However, Lin Mo did not hide or run. He raised his shield and watched as the twin blades fell. ¡°Clang!¡± The two sabers rubbed against the shield, creating dazzling sparks. ¡°-205!¡± Lin Mo lost more than 300 HP. He could not help but sigh. As expected of an elite in difficult situations, the damage dealt was indeed high. If this attack landed on a normal warrior, he would face high damage of 2000 points. A normal Level 20 Warrior would only have around 1,500 HP. It was difficult to resist. However, Lin Mo was different. He had the Super Divine Passive Skill. Not only was 90% deducted, but he also relied on the Armor of Thorns to return a lot of damage. The Dark Knight¡¯s HP fell below 6000! In other words, if the Dark Knight jumped three more times, Lin Mo wouldn¡¯t even need to do it himself. He would kill himself. However, the Dark Knight was not a dumb monster. It looked at Lin Mo with rapt attention, wondering why it had suffered more damage when its attack hit. However, there was no time to think. Lin Mo had already begun to move. He brandished the Hurricane Greatsword and rushed over. ¡°Clang!¡± Hurricane Greatsword collided with the twin blades, the Dark Knight did not have time to think and used its skill, Flaming Blade. The two blades were burning with flames. It spun in a circle in its hand as if it was juggling, and in the next second, it charged straight at Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s quite handsome.¡± Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and immediately went up to him. The Dark Knight¡¯s attack had increased significantly after using his skill. Every slash landed on Lin Mo¡¯s body like a storm. ¡°-51!¡± ¡°-67!¡± ¡°-55!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Damage numbers appeared above Lin Mo¡¯s head one after another. On the other hand, the Black Knight¡¯s HP was dropping hundreds of times faster than Lin Mo¡¯s! Its eyes flickered with astonishment. It didn¡¯t know what was going on. In the next second, Lin Mo slashed over with his Hurricane Greatsword! ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°-37!¡± The attack landed on the Dark Knight¡¯s chest, but the damage was only 37 points. However, the Dark Knight only had 73 HP. After two more attacks, Lin Mo directly took the Dark Knight¡¯s head. ¡°Ding! Congratulations to the party for killing the Elite monster, Dark Knight. Experience points +5000!¡± ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV16. You have received 3 free attribute points!¡± Killing monsters of a higher level gave him a lot of experience. Lin Mo¡¯s EXP increased exponentially and he reached Level 16. At the same time, Liu Yiyi, who was busy dealing with the three iron-armored knights and was sweating profusely, was shocked. ¡°It¡¯s settled just like that?!¡± She widened her bell-like eyes and turned to look at Lin Mo. The Dark Knight had already fallen to the ground, and the ground was filled with shiny drops. When an elite monster died, the summoned monsters would not disappear on the spot. Lin Mo looked at the spoils of war on the ground and then at Liu Yiyi in the distance. His thoughts were fleeting. ¡°Let¡¯s see what good things we dropped first.¡± Lin Mo checked the loot on the ground. In Hard mode, the drop rate of elite monsters was still decent. There was one Assassin equipment, two Priest equipment, and no Warrior equipment. Just as he thought that his harvest was bleak, suddenly, a passive skill book successfully attracted Lin Mo¡¯s attention. [Double Combo (Silver Rank): The first physical attack hits the target, triggering the second attack damage, with a 50% suppression effect!] ¡°Good stuff!¡± Lin Mo had been worried that he did not have any means of attack, but now he had arrived! He directly learned the passive skill, Double Combo. He then opened his personal interface to check: [Unlimited Super God (Super God): The first physical attack hits the target, can trigger 10 attacks, and is accompanied by a powerful combo suppression!] Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but gasp. The improvement brought by this passive was equivalent to increasing his ordinary attack by 10 times! It was an invincible attack-type passive skill! ¡°Lin Mo¡­Save me!¡± At this moment, Liu Yiyi, who was not far away, ran over quickly. Facing three iron-armored knights, she could not hold on any longer. ¡°Just in time to test my hand.¡± Lin Mo smiled and rushed over with the Hurricane Greatsword. Seeing that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Yiyi sat on the ground and greedily breathed in the fresh air. On the other side, Lin Mo¡¯s Hurricane Greatsword landed on one of the iron-armored knights. ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°-51!¡± ¡°-51!¡± ¡°-51!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The iron-armored knight was sent flying and fell to the ground. The scene that followed made Lin Mo¡¯s scalp tingle: 10 consecutive damages appeared like a flood. At the same time, the iron-armored knight convulsed crazily on the ground. This was a powerful suppression effect! How was this a battle? This was clearly monster torture! The 10 attacks added up to more than 500 damage, directly reducing one-third of the Iron Armor Knight¡¯s HP. ¡°Not bad!¡± Lin Mo was very excited. The damage from his active attacks was finally not a burden! Before Liu Yiyi could react, the three iron-armored knights were already killed by Lin Mo while they were twitching. After he reacted, Liu Yiyi¡¯s expression was as dull as before. What happened? She gulped. It was hard to imagine how powerful Lin Mo was. It only took a moment, she had missed so many scenes perfectly. ¡°Pack your things and continue!¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t explain further. After splitting up the loot of the Dark Knight, they continued with the third phase of the dungeon quest. Liu Yiyi suddenly lost her ability to think, looking at the spoils of war in his backpack, she followed Lin Mo. The third phase of the dungeon quest was very straightforward: To kill the Boss, the Wailing Lord. Liu Yiyi continued to pull monsters. Lin Mo no longer took the beating passively and chose to take the initiative to attack. After spending nearly ten minutes, they finally reached the entrance of the BOSS. ¡°This is the entrance of the BOSS.¡± Liu Yiyi smiled bitterly. Last time, their team had spent nearly four hours to get here. And now, from the moment they entered the dungeon until nowhad only been half an hour! What kind of existence was Lin Mo? This doubt had been buried in Liu Yiyi¡¯s mind. When they reached the BOSS¡¯s door, Liu Yiyi had already figured it out. It was none of her business how powerful Lin Mo was. It was also best not to inquire about it to avoid being despised. If you want to ride one¡¯s coattails, don¡¯t let your imagination run wild!

Chapter 36 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Lin Mo took a step forward and entered the Boss¡¯s door. Inside, a skeleton in a mage¡¯s robe was reading a book. As the intruder arrived, its empty eyes lit up with a green light. Upon closer inspection, the skull was similar to an ape¡¯s skeleton. The sharp fangs on the ferocious face were terrifying. ¡°It looks so ugly.¡± Lin Mo shook his head helplessly. Then, he opened the BOSS¡¯s information panel. [Name: Wailing Lord (Gray-Silver Boss)] [Level: 21] [HP: 25000] [Skills: Foggy Swamp, Blood Punishment, Light Blade, Flash] ¡­ ¡°Its HP is quite high.¡± Lin Mo gave a good evaluation after reading the BOSS ¡®information. With such HP, a normal team would have to cooperate well if they wanted to clear the game. Liu Yiyi did not stay idle either. She explained:¡±You must be careful of the BOSS¡¯s Foggy Swamp skill. With it as the center, the marsh gas released will reduce 20 HP per second!¡± It was definitely a huge burden for early-stage professionals. For example, a Mage with a relatively weak defense would only have around 800 HP with Level 20 equipment. If he did not drink any healing potions, there would be no Priest to heal him. He could only hold on for 40 seconds! ¡°No problem.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t say anything else. He took the Hurricane Greatsword and approached the Wailing Lord. The Wailing Lord sensed it and instantly released a fog from his body. The soil under his feet also emitted a sticky liquid. ¡°-18!¡± ¡°-0!¡± ¡°-18!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Looking at the amount of HP deducted, Lin Mo¡¯s heart did not waver. He even wanted to laugh. On the other hand, the Wailing Lord hadn¡¯t even touched him, but its HP was already dropping at an average rate of 200 per second. It was equivalent to Lin Mo stealing the Foggy Swamp for his own use. As the fog dispersed, their vision quickly became blurry. Without the healing of a Priest, Liu Yiyi did not dare to go too deep. When her HP reached a certain limit, she could only retreat from the Foggy Swamp. Coincidentally, Lin Mo was already confronting the Wailing Lord. The brave will win! Lin Mo raised the Hurricane Greatsword in his hand and gave the Wailing Lord a blow on the head. ¡°Bang bang bang bang!¡± The Wailing Lord was a Mage, so its tenacity was pitifully low. It was forced back two steps and lost its balance. It was also at this moment that the passive skill Super God Infinite was triggered. Then, the Wailing Lord, who was convulsing crazily, was forcefully suppressed. ¡°Roar!¡± The Wailing Lord let out an angry roar. However, what followed was another attack from Lin Mo. ¡°Bang bang bang bang!¡± Another wave of twitching caused the Wailing Lord to be filled with grievance. Lin Mo looked at the Crying Lord¡¯s HP drop and was very satisfied. Liu Yiyi, who was isolated by the Foggy Swamp, couldn¡¯t see the situation at the moment. However, she heard the Wailing Lord¡¯s painful howl. It seemed like¡­ The situation was great! The Wailing Lord, who was lying on the ground, had survived the suppression effect. Just as he was about to get up, Lin Mo shot forward, scaring the Wailing Lord into immediately using Flash, sending itself twenty meters away. Lin Mo was definitely the only one who could do this! The mighty Wailing Lord¡¯s Flash skill had always been used to chase after people. Now, it was actually used to run! ¡°Why are you running? I¡¯m not going to do anything.¡± Lin Mo smiled kindly. Unlimited Super God was insane, but it also had a built-in cooldown time. As he continued to chase, the cooldown time had just ended, and Lin Mo¡¯s attack directly greeted him. The Wailing Lord¡¯s HP decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye every second. In less than three minutes, it had less than 30% HP left! The exasperated Wailing Lord took advantage of this gap and released a light blade, hitting Lin Mo¡¯s body accurately. However, the damage it caused was unusually pitiful. As a result, the WailingLord went completely crazy and entered a berserk state! When a Boss was in a berserk state, the cooldown time and attack power of its skills would be greatly increased, but its defense would also be reduced by more than half. This timing was the best opportunity to kill! However, Lin Mo left this opportunity to the Wailing Lord itself. As the attacks landed on his body, Lin Mo felt as if he had been hit in the face by fist-sized raindrops. But suddenly, the attack stopped, and anotification sounded in his ear. ¡°Ding! Congratulations to the party for killing the BOSS, Wailing Lord. Experience points +27000!¡± ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV17. You have received 3 free attribute points!¡± ¡°Ding! Congratulations on completing the dungeon quest. Your score is being evaluated¡­Assessment complete!¡± ¡°Your score is SSS!¡± ¡°Ding! The clearing reward will be issued soon¡­¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining 3000 gold coins!¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining the Book of Death (Gold)!¡± ¡°Congratulations, your skill Chop has reached Iron Rank-10!¡± ¡°Congratulations, your skill Backstep has reached Iron Rank-5!¡± ¡­ ¡°Did the boss drop a weapon?! ¡± The continuous notifications made Lin Mo open his backpack excitedly. It was a Gold-tier mage weapon. He was extremely lucky! In the black market, it could definitely be sold for tens of millions of gold coins! This was a Gold Mage weapon, and the drop rate was extremely low. On the other side, Liu Yiyi was still in shock as she looked at the bountiful rewards. ¡°My first time¡­¡± Liu Yiyi looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression. It was clearly only a Black Iron Rank talent, but it had combat strength that ordinary people could not understand. The Wailing Lord was killed. Other than the materials dropped, two pieces of equipment dropped. They were a Warrior longsword and a dagger,all Gold grade. Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled. ¡°It just so happens that we can use it. We¡¯re quite lucky.¡± The sword naturally belonged to Lin Mo, so he accepted it immediately. The second one was for Liu Yiyi. ¡°Ding! You have unlocked the seal on the Bloodthirsty Longsword!¡± [Name: Bloodthirsty Sword] [Rarity: Gold] [Level: 20] [Strength: 66] [Agility: 35] [Attack: 130] [Effect: Each attack will recover a certain amount of HP!] [Introduction: Use Bloodbath to temper your body and transform into a demon god!] ¡­ ¡°The interface is not bad.¡± Lin Mo nodded and put it in his backpack. He was only Level 17, so he was not yet equipped with the Bloodthirsty Longsword. As for the materials¡­ However, before Lin Mo could say anything, Liu Yiyi, who was beside him, hurriedly said, ¡°One piece of equipment is enough for me. I can¡¯t take the rest!¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t insist. He put all the materials into his backpack. However, a backpack with 16 slots could only hold a pitiful amount of things, so he gave the extra to Liu Yiyi. ¡°Just take it. My backpack can¡¯t hold that much.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Along the way, Liu Yiyi had been picking up the basic materials dropped by the monsters, just like herself in the newbie dungeon. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 37 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Lin Mo was quite satisfied with his harvest. The Book of Death was still sealed. If he were to throw it into the black market, it would definitely cause a small sensation. Liu Yiyi looked at the materials on the ground and squirmed for a while before putting them away. ¡°Lin Mo, thank you.¡± ¡°We¡¯re all classmates. It¡¯s a small matter.¡± Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Let¡¯s open another dungeon.¡± A dungeon entrance did not only have one dungeon entry. The higher the level, the more items there would be. For example, there would be a sub-dungeon in the Wailing Forest. The dungeon map was still the same. However, it would expand into different content. There were a total of six sub-dungeons in the Wailing Forest. It was enough for Lin Mo to complete the entrance exam. The requirements to activate it were a little harsh. After all, it could only be activated when the clearing score was above S rank. Outside the instance dungeon, Hu Li and the others had bloodshot eyes. They had already received their punishment. They were forbidden from entering any instance dungeon for the next 24 hours. If they forcefully entered, they would die! They naturally did not dare to take this risk. Since they had already messed up the entrance exams, they would focus all their anger on Lin Mo. ¡°Why hasn¡¯t that brat come out yet!¡± Sun Bin angrily punched the tree trunk, but the strength of the mage was too weak, so the tree did not shake at all. Instead, it was the pain that caused it to blow cold air at its fist. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t have a good time when he comes out!¡± Hu Li¡¯s face darkened. He had already imagined countless scenes of Lin Mo being humiliated. Suddenly, a light flashed at the entrance of the dungeon. Everyone thought that Lin Mo had come out, so they strode forward in unison. However, a group of professionals wearing the uniform of a certain guild came out. Seeing that someone was approaching, the professionals of the guild immediately raised their weapons, thinking that the enemy guild was looking for trouble. When Hu Li and the others saw this, their bodies stiffened in embarrassment. ¡°Sorry, I got the wrong person!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m very sorry!¡± ¡°¡­.¡± They quickly lowered their heads and bowed to apologize. Hu Li and the others were just university students, while the other party was a guild professional who was at least at the third transition level. How could they afford to offend them? Meanwhile, in the dungeon, Lin Mo had already taken over the position of captain and activated the Hard Mode sub-dungeon. The originally gloomy and gloomy Wailing Forest had now completely changed its appearance. The forest withered into dead trees. The heatwave hit Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi¡¯s faces, making them restless. He opened the status bar, could also discover that there was an additional negative state [Scorching Heat x1]. This negative status could be stacked. As long as it reached a certain level, the HP would be deducted. The map was the same, but the dungeon mechanics had changed. It took a few minutes, and Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi immediately understood the solution. At the original starting point, there was a wooden bucket and a pool. What gushed out of the pool was holy water! As long as he poured the holy water on his body, they would be able to clear the negative status. Therefore, the team needed a porter to provide Holy Water support to the members in charge of the frontline. Of course, perhaps there would be a supply point for the pool in front, but it was not important. ¡°I¡¯ll deliver the holy water to you!¡± Liu Yiyi volunteered to be the porter. Lin Mo carried the Hurricane Greatsword and directly entered the winding path, clearing out all the iron-armored knights one by one! Ever since he had the super god-level passive skill, Super God Infinity, Lin Mo was overjoyed. He liked to have the initiative in his own hands, like the Armor of Thorns and the King¡¯s Divine Shield, although the combination was abnormal! However, being beaten up passively made him feel as if there were ten thousand caterpillars crawling on his body. It was very uncomfortable! The iron-armored knights in the sub-dungeon had also undergone significant changes. Especially its Fire Resistance, which had reached 90%! But it had nothing to do with Lin Mo. No matter what kind of resistance you have, he can just swing the Hurricane Greatsword and attack. The iron-armored knight died on the spot. Without Liu Yiyi by his side, Lin Mo¡¯s speed increased by another level. There was almost no obstruction along the way. Lin Mo¡¯s experience points continued to increase, and he had unknowingly reached level 18. Liu Yiyi, who was carrying a bucket of water, walked on the bumpy path, unable to keep up with Lin Mo¡¯s speed. As a result, Lin Mo and the other debuffs stacked up to 11 layers, losing 30 HP every second, before he was willing to wait for Liu Yiyi to hand over the Holy Water. ¡°You continue to fetch water, I¡¯ll go clear the monsters first.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo continued forward. Liu Yiyi was shocked. She did not know how strong Lin Mo was, but she knew that he was able to advance alone in such a cruel environment. His speed was even faster than the previous instance dungeon. This meant that her luring the monsters had delayed the progress of the dungeon. Soon, Lin Mo crossed the front yard. Because this was a sub-dungeon, there were no elite monsters here. They went straight to the entrance of the BOSS. There was still the same BOSS, but the interface was completely different. [Name: Wailing Lord (Gray-Silver Boss)] [Level: 22] [HP: 18000] [Skills: Blood Eyes, Blood Punishment, Flame Burn, Flash] Its level had increased by 1 level, and its HP had decreased by a few thousand points. At the same time, the skill had also changed. Lin Mo had just stepped into the range of the Wailing Lord¡¯s vigilance when a pair of dark red flames were ignited. As it watched, Lin Mo felt that his body was even hotter than before. He instantly understood. It was a skill that had changed its form. The negative status [Scorch *31] was increasing rapidly, and the source was the Wailing Lord. Therefore, all the armor of thorns that was triggered was returned to the BOSS. As a result, before Lin Mo could even reach the Wailing Lord, its HP had already fallen to 73%! As the negative status continued to increase, the damage feedback to the Wailing Lord would also increase. Lin Mo felt that it was unnecessary for him to make a move. He could just let the Wailing Lord kill itself. ¡°No, no, no!¡± The Wailing Lord felt his life slipping away, revealing a crazy side. In the end, the bones scattered all over the ground in the painful struggle. It felt even more aggrieved than last time. ¡°Ding! Congratulations to the party for killing the BOSS, Lord of Crying. Experience points +25000!¡± ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV19. You have received 3 free attribute points!¡± ¡°Ding! Congratulations on completing the dungeon quest. Your score is being evaluated¡­Assessment complete!¡± ¡°Your score is SSS!¡± ¡°Ding! The clearing reward will be issued soon¡­¡± ¡°Congratulations on obtaining 2000 gold coins!¡± ¡­ Liu Yiyi, who was carrying a bucket of water, was rushing over, and heard the notification in their ears, was dumbfounded. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 38 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW By the time Liu Yiyi arrived, Lin Mo had already packed up the items dropped by the Boss. At the same time, he distributed the free attribute points given by the upgrade equally. There was only one dungeon left. Lin Mo didn¡¯t waste any time and immediately started a new dungeon challenge. Before Liu Yiyi could fully recover, she was dragged to another space by an invisible force. The surroundings were pitch black, and a cold voice rang in their ears. ¡°Warning: Hidden dungeon has been activated. The difficulty has been forcibly increased to Nightmare Mode!¡± ¡°Warning: Hidden dungeon has been activated. The difficulty has been forcibly increased to Nightmare Mode!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Three lines of blood-red words appeared in his eyes. Liu Yiyi¡¯s expression suddenly changed! Hidden dungeon! This was a phenomenon that was almost impossible to appear in a Black Iron dungeon! Once the hidden dungeon was activated, the difficulty would increase exponentially. The difficulty would also break the norm. It jumped several steps from Hard Mode to Nightmare Mode. More importantly, in the Nightmare Mode, the life of a professional could not be guaranteed. Once they died, they might really die. Liu Yiyi¡¯s breathing gradually quickened. She entered the instance dungeon to earn money, not to lose her life. ¡°Lin Mo, let¡¯s retreat! A nightmare-level hidden dungeon is not something we can challenge right now!¡± Liu Yiyi summoned the exit panel. Compared to death, the penalty for quitting was not worth mentioning. However, Lin Mo clenched his fists tightly and was deep in thought. Hidden dungeon! This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Such an opportunity usually only appeared in platinum-level dungeons and above, but now it actually appeared in a mere iron-level dungeon. Even so, the attributes and the number of monsters in the hidden dungeon would increase by a terrifying amount. On the contrary, the monster drop rate would also increase. To many powerhouses, the advantages definitely outweighed the disadvantages. However, to encounter a hidden dungeon, it would all depend on luck. This was the reason why Lin Mo was so excited. The monsters in the hidden dungeon would improve based on their original strength, but it would not be too heaven-defying. With his current HP and the super god-level passive, even if they couldn¡¯t guarantee that they would pass the stage, they could still survive safely. ¡°Lin Mo! Lin Mo!¡± Liu Yiyi, who was beside him, was burning with anxiety. She shouted repeatedly, ¡°What are you thinking about? Let¡¯s go out together!¡± Although Lin Mo¡¯s two dungeon runs had given her too much of a shock, but this time was different. The difficulty was on a completely different level. The Nightmare difficulty of the Hidden Dungeon meant that a monster¡¯s HP was close to 10,000. Compared to the original 1,000, it was much higher. ¡°You can leave first. I will pay attention to my safety. If there is any danger, I will immediately exit the instance dungeon.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He had the double blessing of the Sin of Greed and the King¡¯s Divine Shield, so he definitely did not have to worry. On the other hand, Liu Yiyi was a fragile assassin, she couldn¡¯t withstand the gentle touch of the monsters here. It was quite tiring to continue acting, so it was better to be alone for Lin Mo. ¡°But¡­¡± Liu Yiyi¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. After a short period of interaction, although they did not interact much, Liu Yiyi did not want Lin Mo to be in danger. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do.¡± Lin Mo shrugged and raised the Hurricane Greatsword, ¡°I¡¯m not stupid enough to seek death. I¡¯m just going to broaden my horizons.¡± After repeated promises, Liu Yiyi compromised. ¡°Then you must pay attention to your safety!¡± ¡°If you encounter any danger, immediately exit the instance dungeon!¡± Then, Liu Yiyi exited the dungeon and disappeared in a beam of light. ¡°Ding! Team member Liu Yiyi has withdrawn from the team!¡± ¡°Ding! Team member Liu Yiyi has exited the instance dungeon!¡± Looking at his lonely self on the interface, Lin Mo officially started the strategy for the hidden dungeon! He passed through the dark corridor. The environment of the instance dungeon had already been refreshed. He had walked through a winding path that was empty of monsters. A magnificent castle was located in the middle of the Wailing Forest. Lin Mo came to the door, the heavy wooden door slowly opened with a bang. The knights who appeared first raised their swords and turned to face Lin Mo in unison. [Name: Ryder Iron-Armored Knight] [Level: 19] [HP: 9740] [Skills: Stabbing, Charge, Slash, Battle Shield] ¡­ ¡°Its HP has indeed increased by quite a bit and even has an additional skill. I just don¡¯t know how much damage it has increased to.¡± Lin Mo sized him up with interest. With the blessing of the King¡¯s Divine Shield, as long as the damage output was not too exaggerated, there was no threat to him at all. Lin Mo immediately held the Hurricane Greatsword and approached the iron-armored knight closest to him. In Nightmare Mode, the Iron-armored Knight¡¯s movements were quite agile. Within three meters, the Iron-armored knight rushed forward and swung its sword. ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°-205!¡± The attack landed in front of Lin Mo¡¯s chest, and his HP decreased by a little. However, it still surprised Lin Mo. The monster¡¯s attack in Nightmare Mode was indeed high. If it wasn¡¯t for the King¡¯s Divine Shield¡¯s effect, this attack would have taken away 2,000 of his HP! However, the higher the monster¡¯s damage output, the easier it would be for Lin Mo. The Armor of Thorns dealt over 3,000 damage, leaving the Iron-armored Knight with only one-third of its HP left! ¡°It¡¯s too troublesome to attack one by one. It¡¯s easier to attack together.¡± Without any scruples, Lin Mo directly pulled the aggro of the remaining iron-armored knights and was instantly surrounded. Facing the steel-like collision force, Lin Mo once again thought of how good Slime was. At the same time, a group of people gathered around and discussed at the entrance of the dungeon. The originally unassuming entrance to the iron-level dungeon actually began to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a spider web. It was as if they could fall apart at any time. Coincidentally, Liu Yiyi was teleported to the entrance of the dungeon. ¡°Monitor, where is Lin Mo?¡± Hu Li and the others immediately stepped forward, looking impatient. They had long held back their anger and wanted to release it. Liu Yiyi took a deep breath and snapped, ¡°I haven¡¯t settled the score with you yet, but you actually dared to use despicable methods to plot against Lin Mo behind my back.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Hearing this, Hu Li, Sun Bin, and the others instantly lost their temper. No matter what, they were indeed in the wrong. ¡°Boom! Boom!¡± At this moment, a loud rumble came from underground. ¡°F * ck, I really don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on. This crappy instance dungeon can also be hidden.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t know which unlucky bastard encountered it.¡± But at this moment, a car arrived. Jiang Xin was on the phone with the administrator. This instance was under the supervision of the Legendary Academy, so it was impossible for there to be no reaction. Therefore, they immediately sent Jiang Xin, who was the closest to this dungeon. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 39 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW ¡°Understood. I will evacuate the scene immediately.¡± After saying that, Jiang Xin immediately hung up the phone and noticed Liu Yiyi, Hu Li, and the other students at the entrance of the dungeon. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Hurry up and leave. The state of the instance dungeon¡¯s door is extremely unstable, and there is a risk of it collapsing at any time.¡± ¡°Other professionals, leave immediately!¡± Jiang Xin¡¯s voice rang out. The other professionals retreated tactfully. After all, they knew the severity of the matter. The appearance of a hidden dungeon would not only affect the inside. It was the same outside. According to the records, the appearance of hidden dungeons would place a huge burden on the entrance. There was an 80% chance of destroying a dungeon door. ¡°Teacher, Lin Mo is still inside!¡± Liu Yiyi frowned and told the truth. Hu Li and the others were dumbfounded. They did not expect Lin Mo to be the one who activated the hidden dungeon! This meant that Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi had already cleared the Crying Forest on Hard mode. How did they do it? However, before they could ask, Jiang Xin immediately rushed forward with a solemn expression. ¡°Is Lin Mo really in the hidden dungeon?¡± ¡°Liu Yiyi, now is not the time to joke around!¡± Jiang Xin was very clear about the existence of hidden dungeons. The danger withinwas not a level of difficulty that Lin Mo should have encountered at his current level! ¡°I¡¯m not joking.¡± Liu Yiyi was also at a loss. Jiang Xin quickly sorted out her thoughts and immediately called the administrator again. ¡°Immediately bring up the C9 instance dungeon and the list of all professionals who are still in the instance dungeon!¡± ¡°The sooner the better!¡± After waiting for a while, the administrator quickly found the name list. There were a total of 17 professionals in the dungeon, and four dungeons had been activated. Among them, there was a professional who acted alone. Without a doubt, this professional was Lin Mo! ¡°I¡¯m applying for A-rank clearance. Immediately send out an evacuation request to the professionals who are acting alone!¡± Jiang Xin said seriously. Under normal circumstances, the outside world could not interfere with the inside of the instance dungeon. However, it was just a matter of probability. Through special means, Jiang Xin could contact the professionals in the instance dungeon. However, there was no way for her to communicate with them in a complicated way, she could only convey a few words. The more chaotic the rules of the dungeon, the higher the probability. Now that a hidden dungeon had appeared, the original basic rules had been disrupted. Theoretically speaking, the success rate of the interference was at least 50%. ¡°F * ck, so there¡¯s only one person in the hidden dungeon?¡± The administrator was stunned for two seconds before he reacted. Following Jiang Xin¡¯s request, he immediately sent Lin Mo a request to retreat through his A-level clearance. However, after a few seconds, the administrator¡¯s expression froze: ¡°Teacher Jiang¡­He refused to retreat.¡± ¡°Is he crazy?!¡± Jiang Xin stood rooted to the ground, feeling mixed emotions. What kind of courage did a professional who had not even reached the first transition have to challenge a hidden nightmare dungeon? The key was that there was only one person! Under normal circumstances, a team of well-equipped and powerful professionalscouldn¡¯t guarantee that they would be able to clear the hidden dungeon without any casualties. The shock that Lin Mo had brought to Jiang Xin all along was astounding. And now, she was betting on Lin Mo, so she didn¡¯t want anything to happen to him. At this point, Jiang Xin had no way of forcefully entering the hidden dungeon and rescuing Lin Mo. ¡°Unless¡­The principal can do it himself!¡± Jiang Xin picked up her phone and dialed the principal¡¯s number. However, she suddenly remembered something. The National Inter-School Meeting was just around the corner, and the principal had long attended it as an important guest. Therefore, he was not in the Legend Academy at all. It would take at least half a day to rush back at the fastest speed. By that time, it would already be too late! Hu Li and Sun Bin, who was standing at the side, expressed their disdain and ridicule for Lin Mo¡¯s bold actions. ¡°This guy really doesn¡¯t care about his life. He even dares to challenge a hidden dungeon.¡± ¡°I told you Lin Mo was a lunatic.¡± ¡°You said that a Black Iron Rank talent, where did he get the ability to clear the Crying Forest?¡± ¡°Who knows? Maybe it¡¯s because he¡¯s rich. He threw all kinds of props at them.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Liu Yiyi wanted to retort, but now was not the time to be angry. ¡°Ms. Jiang, will Lin Mo be alright?¡± ¡°If he¡¯s willing to come out, he¡¯ll definitely be fine.¡± Jiang Xin sighed. This sentence was complete nonsense. If Lin Mo was willing to come out, he would have appeared at the entrance of the dungeon when the administrator issued the retreat request. But now, there was no one at the entrance of the dungeon. This proved that Lin Mo really wanted to challenge the hidden dungeon! At this point, Jiang Xin had no choice but to contact Director Liu directly. ¡°Lin Mo entered a hidden dungeon?¡± Director Liu¡¯ was quite shocked. He immediately shouted, ¡°Get the administrator to immediately issue a retreat request!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already tried, but Lin Mo rejected the application.¡± ¡°What is wrong with this kid?¡± Director Liu¡¯s reaction was exactly the same as Jiang Xin¡¯s. As professionals who had been to the frontlines, they understood the dangers of hidden dungeons the best. He knew the seriousness of the matter. Therefore, he would never leave Lin Mo alone. ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll be right there!¡± Director Liu hung up the phone and rushed to the dungeon entrance as fast as he could. At the same time, there were also professional officers sent by the provinces. The dangers of hidden dungeons were obvious. It was not only within the dungeon but also outside of it. Now, the dungeon¡¯s door was already torn apart. It was very likely to collapse. At best, thousands of monsters might appear and run amok in the real world. At worst, powerful existences might appear and cause heavy losses in the province! Therefore, not only did the Legend Academy attach importance to it, but the military also attached importance to it. After learning that there was a student in the hidden dungeon, the soldiers looked at each other in shock. ¡°Director Liu, we can¡¯t delay this any longer. We have to resolve this as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Once the instance dungeon shows signs of collapsing, we have to take action immediately. Otherwise, no one can bear the consequences.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Director Liu nodded.¡± Then, a majestic element surged out of his body. Not far away, Hu Li, Liu Yiyi, and the others immediately turned pale when they sensed it. It was as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on their chests, and they almost couldn¡¯t breathe. This was only the aftershock, but its power was already so terrifying. They had heard that Director Liu was at least a professional who had reached the 20th transition, but that had always been a rumor. This was because Director Liu was very low-key and had never shown his strength. Now it seemed that the rumors had mostly been confirmed. But suddenly, Director Liu¡¯s face was filled with black lines. He scolded coldly, ¡°Bastard brat, you actually rejected me!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 40 Translator: Daoist6fubtiW Inside the dungeon, the armor scattered all over the ground emitted beams of light. Lin Mo, who was cleaning up the battlefield, suddenly sensed a strange power and could not help but tremble. However, the effect was not great. He only broke free from the shackles of power in an instant. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Frowning, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t figure it out, so he simply ignored it. Previously, when he was clearing monsters, an interface popped up, and the word ¡®retreat¡¯ was written on it. To be honest, Lin Mo could vaguely guess that it was a message from the outside world. It meant that someone wanted him to escape from the hidden dungeon. But it would be a waste to not clear a hidden dungeon with a high drop rate and more experience points! After cleaning up the materials dropped by the monsters, there were still many that he could not take away. ¡°16 slots were too small.¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. He swore that he would definitely expand his backpack after he got out! Then, he entered the hall of the castle. A new wave of iron-armored knights attacked Lin Mo. But after a moment,all of them shattered and fell to the ground, turning into experience points. Lin Mo planned to farm efficiently. He directly lured all the iron-armored knights in the hall around him, then came to the foot of a wall and raised the flag shield in his hand, letting them kill themselves. Although the efficiency was far inferior to standing in an open area and letting himself be surrounded, overall, this was more comfortable and efficient. Soon, a group of iron-armored knights lay on the ground, and agolden light flashed. ¡°Ding! You have leveled up to LV20. You have received 3 free attribute points!¡± The experience points of hidden dungeons were indeed abundant! Lin Mo had just leveled up to level 19. After this wave of iron-armored knights, he had actually leveled up to level 20. As the last wave of iron-armored knights fell, Lin Mo glanced at his EXP bar, which had reached 64%! Hidden dungeons were simply a holy land for leveling up! Lin Mo immediately switched to his Level 20 Bloodthirsty Longsword. The hall had been cleaned up, and Lin Mo immediately began to shuttle between the rooms. In each room, there were many iron-armored knights hidden, and at the same time, there were treasure chests! Treasure chests that were rarely seen were everywhere. A Normal Treasure Chest would appear in every three rooms, and it could provide a lot of basic materials, potions, Gold Coins, and other resources. Lin Mo walked around the first floor and found that the items he got were all very good. For example, a high-quality [Advanced Recovery Potion] could instantly recover 60% of his HP. It could be sold for thousands of gold on the black market, and he obtained a stack of 99 bottles from the treasure chest! One set was equivalent to a million gold coins! He had made a windfall. As for the other scattered items, Lin Mo could only pick and choose based on his feelings. When he reached the second floor, he cleared out a wave of iron-armored knights in the corridor and reached Level 21! Then, he cleared out all the monsters in the room and was about to level up again. This speed made Lin Mo feel as if he had been on a rocket. He could not stop at all. When he arrived at the third floor, a golden light flashed. Lin Mo was satisfied with his Level 22! He pushed open the door. Before he could enter, he suddenly saw a purple-gold treasure chest. ¡°Epic Treasure Chest!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up and he rushed forward. After cleaning up the iron-armored knights in the room, he rubbed his hands excitedly, ready to welcome the grace of fate! Along the way, the treasure chests they encountered were already Common, Excellent, and Superior. These three qualities could only be considered ordinary. However, Epic ones was completely different. The probability of it appearing in a normal dungeon was only about one in ten thousand! There was a saying among the professionals: ¡°Every professional only has one chance to encounter an Epic Treasure Chest in their life!¡± ¡°I have to grasp it well!¡± Lin Mo had been thinking about this matter along the way. As expected, the probability of him appearing in hidden dungeons had increased significantly. When he pushed open the Epic Treasure Chest, a dazzling light flashed. Without waiting for the light to fade, Lin Mo immediately checked the items inside. [Name: Unyielding Ring] [Rarity: Diamond] [Level: 20] [HP: 1000] [Strength: 120] [Introduction: The unyielding soul is watching you!] ¡­ [Name: Unyielding Necklace] [Rarity: Diamond] [Level: 20] [HP: 1000] [Endurance: 120] [Introduction: Storm-like setbacks can¡¯t stump the unyielding!] ¡­ [Name: Unyielding Earrings] [Rarity: Diamond] [Level: 20] [HP: 1000] [Agility: 100] [Introduction: Become an unyielding person and take charge of an area!] ¡­ ¡°Diamond-level set?!¡± Lin Mo sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately checked the effects of the set. [Name: Unyielding Set] [1: Increase 20% Attack Power] [2: Increase your own tenacity by a small margin, greatly reduce negative statuses] [3: Luck attribute +1] ¡°It¡¯s actually a hidden attribute? This set will be sold at a sky-high price in the black market!¡± Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. The luck attribute was not visible on the personal interface. Unless it was the blessing of talent, it was usually a zero. Don¡¯t underestimate the fact that just 1 point of Luck attribute could be worth at least 2 billion gold coins! After equipping the three pieces of Diamond Jewelry Set Equipment, his HP increased by 3000 points, and he was about to cross the 50,000 thresholds. The remaining attribute bonuses could not be underestimated. Lin Mo¡¯soverall personal interface was considered luxurious among those of the same level! At the entrance of the instance dungeon, a large number of professional soldiers had already rushed over and surrounded the broken entrance of the instance dungeon. If there were any abnormalities at the dungeon entrance. The military would take action immediately. During this time, more than a dozen professionals appeared at the entrance of the dungeon one after another. When they saw this lineup, they were frightened and trembled in fear. They thought that they had committed some crime to attract such a commotion. ¡°Why is there still no news? It¡¯s already been more than ten minutes.¡± Jiang Xin frowned and paced back and forth impatiently. Director Liu shook his head and sighed. He was one of the best professionals, but he couldn¡¯t force Lin Mo out of the dungeon. At this point, Director Liu was even more curious about Lin Mo¡¯s performance in the dungeon. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the administrator had reported Lin Mo¡¯s vital signs, they would definitely think that Lin Mo had died in the hidden dungeon. What was strange was that Lin Mo was not dead! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible.
