Chapter 75: Indeed, just a fledgling below level 20
Shu Han performed her duties conscientiously and explained everything in detail.
Lin Moyu felt that he had received excellent value for his 100 points.
Thanks to Shu Han's detailed explanations, Lin Moyu now understood the specific rules within the dungeon hall.
To enter a dungeon, one not only had to fulfill the requirements, but also pay an additional fee in the form of points. At Xia Jing Academy, everything worked according to points, including access to the dungeon.
The higher the level of the dungeon, the more points were required. Points could also be used to bypass the grace period, so you could enter the dungeon without interruption if you had enough points.
Lin Moyu was pleasantly surprised. This meant that his leveling speed could increase significantly.
Shu Han led Lin Moyu to the center of the dungeon hall where several crystal balls were placed.
She explained, "This is the dungeon hall's mission center and the team's recruitment center."
"The mission center offers various tasks, which are mainly about collecting materials, equipment and special items from different dungeons. You can complete tasks to earn points or set tasks to collect materials and tools."
"The team recruitment center is used to form or join teams. You can post recruitment ads or join other teams."
These features were incredibly handy, but required points. Posting tasks or team recruitment ads cost points, and even completing tasks resulted in a point deduction.
At Xia Jing Academy, points were the currency that was important to every aspect of academy life.
After more than half an hour, Shu Han had explained everything about the dungeon hall to Lin Moyu in detail.
"Is there anything else you don't understand?" she asked.
At that moment, Lin Moyu's communicator vibrated. He had received 50 contribution points for his performance in the exam on Mermaid Island. That wasn't much, but it was still a long way from the 1,000 points required for admission to the Genesis Academy.
Lin Moyu asked, "How can I earn more contribution points?"
Shu Han inquired, "Are you asking about the academy's contribution points?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
She replied, "There are only a few ways to earn contribution points. Participating in the academy exams is one way. Completing tasks set by the academy is another."
"At the mission center, some tasks are set by the academy. If you complete these tasks, you can earn contribution points. However, such tasks are highly coveted and are usually completed quickly."
"Everyone wants contribution points. They're important for getting into prestigious academies."
Lin Moyu checked the mission center and saw some assignments given by the academy. However, the contribution points to be awarded were minimal, usually 2 or 3 points, with the highest being 10 points.
"Earning contribution points is quite difficult," Lin Moyu thought. He considered himself lucky to have scored 50 points, which seemed considerable. He estimated that Jiang Tao and the others hadn't earned much more than him.
His communicator rang again. It was Duan Gao, who sounded satisfied.
"'Moyu, how many contribution points did you get? I got 20 points, that's a good result."
"Sister Taozi got 30 points. She's over the moon."
Lin Moyu replied quietly: "50 points."
"Wow. Sister Taozi was right, you definitely got the most points."
"Man, getting 50 points at once is impressive. I need several tasks to get that many points."
"Next time there's a trial mission, I'll definitely team up with you. I need to stick to the lucky star."
After Duan Gao chatted animatedly for a while, he hung up. Shu Han and the others nearby were dumbfounded.
obtaining 50 contribution points in a single attempt was extraordinary. Contribution points were notoriously hard to come by.
Not only Shu Han, but some others nearby were also dumbfounded. They began to question the legitimacy of such a high score. They had never heard of anyone scoring so many points in a single exam, except perhaps in very challenging exams for advanced students.
"He's just bluffing. How can he get so many contribution points?"
"There haven't been any high-level exams recently, and he doesn't look like one."
"Exactly, he's just showing off."
Lin Moyu ignored the murmuring around him and thanked Shu Han. His 100 points were well spent.
Shu Han quickly replied, "You don't need to thank me. You have paid for the service. Are you going to a dungeon now?"
Lin Moyu approached the entrance of a dungeon.
The Mutant Forest, a level 17 dungeon, required participants to be between level 15 and 19.
In the dungeon hall, there were only two low-level dungeons below level 20, and the Mutant Forest was one of them.
Entering the dungeon cost 10 points, and removing the cooldown required 40 points. The previous record for this dungeon was 58 minutes, set three years ago by a team of five: a knight, a seer and three mages, all at level 19 and with full bronze gear. Thanks to their strong equipment, they made rapid progress and set a record that remained unbroken for three years. The second-placed team took 1 hour and 17 minutes, almost 20 minutes slower.
Lin Moyu paid the 10 points, chose the Nightmare difficulty level and teleported to the dungeon.
When Lin Moyu entered a low-level dungeon, the onlookers in the dungeon hall were beside themselves with excitement.
"I thought he was a big shot."
"Turns out he's just a boy below level 20."
"Yeah, what's he trying to prove?"
"Claiming he scored 50 contribution points in an exam must be a lie."
"But he has the courage to tackle a dungeon single-handedly."
"Maybe he'll come crawling back soon."
Most of them didn't believe Lin Moyu's claim that he had earned 50 contribution points and found it hard to understand.
Shu Han, however, disagreed. Lin Moyu exuded a strange confidence that made them believe he might be telling the truth.
"Maybe he really deserves those 50 points," she thought, surprised by her own assumption.
getting 50 contribution points in one go was something she couldn't even dream of.
Lin Moyu found herself in an ancient forest. The wind rustled in the leaves, and the ground was covered in a thick layer of rotting leaves, as if it had been untouched for years. The forest was filled with the eerie sounds of wild animals, adding to the sense of danger.
From the edge of the forest, he could see the beasts roaming through the woods. The Mutant Forest was home to animals that had been transformed into terrifying monsters by a mysterious force. Bears, tigers and wolves were just some of the terrifying creatures, but there were also hidden threats such as snakes and mutant insects.
To cross the forest, you had to be careful to avoid ambushes.
"Breaking the record will be rewarded," thought Lin Moyu.
A horde of skeleton warriors materialized around him, all 108 of them fully recovered after the battle with the Mermaid Queen.
"Attack!"
The skeleton warriors charged into the mutant forest with their characteristic clatter.
[Mutated Grizzly (Enhanced Elite Monster)]
[Level: 17]
[Strength: 1400]
[Dexterity: 1000]
[Spirit: 500]
[Constitution: 1600]
[Skill: Roar Attack]
[White Mutant Tiger (Enhanced Elite Monster)]
[Level: 18]
[Strength: 1700]
[Dexterity: 1500]
[Spirit: 400]
[Constitution: 1500]
[Skill: Roar]
Lin Moyu evaluated the attributes of the two wild beasts with his detection skill. Compared to the Skeleton Warriors, who had a combined 5400 attributes, they were unbeatable.
The skeleton warriors rampaged through the forest, unstoppable. Each beast fell within three blows.
[Killed level 17 Mutant Grizzly, EXP +6000.]
[Obtained Bearskin *5]
[Killed level 18 Mutant White Tiger, EXP +7000]
[Obtained Tiger Skin *4]
The notifications scrolled quickly while his experience points steadily increased.
"When I entered the dungeon, my experience was 17 (32.57%)"
"Let's see how much it increases when I leave the dungeon"
