Chapter 36: Chapter 36 An Encounter With a Classmate
Translator: 549690339
Just when several sleazy old men were getting impatient, Zi Liyuan finally exited the dungeon instance.
Right when the old men were ready to examine Zi Liyuan’s equipment in detail they discovered that he hadn’t returned to the altar square, but instead turned ’ around and started the next round of the instance.
This immediately left the nine elders speechless.
Did he really need to be this competitive?
Was he aiming to break the empire’s record?
Inside the instance, Zi Liyuan wasn’t aware that nine cranky old men were waiting for him outside. After exiting the instance, he went straight back into the Ogre Forest dungeon for another round.
Compared to last time, his performance this time around was even more unrestrained.
The Skeleton Army was as aggressive as ever, but this time they were organized and disciplined, and their efficiency had risen a notch.
Upon reaching the boss fight, he no longer fumbled around.
The bosses’ skills, which he had learned inside and out, were handled with ease and elegance.
The previous boss battle took about 30 minutes, but this time, he reduced the tight to within 10 minutes.
A single instance brought in nearly 1.8 million experience points, enough for Zi Liyuan to raise two levels.
Exiting the instance and re-entering, he rushed through and resolved the boss in ten minutes.
By the time Zi Liyuan appeared in the altar square, his level had already risen from Level 25 to Level 29 (23k/no).
The moment he emerged, nine pairs of eyes were glued to him, and a barrage of detection spells was cast, scrutinizing Zi Liyuan from inside out.
“Such a powerful hero set, and it’s usable from Level 20 after the first class upgrade, I’ve never heard of this set before.”
“Could it have been crafted by some Grandmaster with a secondary profession?”
“It doesn’t look like it was made by a Grandmaster-level crafter, seems more like a set dropped by a hero boss.”
“Check the low-level instances to see which drops this set; it’s practically divine gear for spellcasters at this level, it could even become a low-level heirloom.”
“Old White, specifically check for any new low-level instances that have recently appeared.”
Such a strong low-level set would definitely explode in popularity on the market once it becomes available; the nine of them couldn’t possibly be unaware of this.
Therefore, the set must be a recent drop from a new low-level instance, likely controlled by some family or private entity.
With such high-quality resources, they could procure a few sets to include as part of the rewards for this special recruitment campaign’s ranking.
Meanwhile, Zi Liyuan was just as bewildered.
He had only just returned to the altar square when seven invitation cards mysteriously appeared in his hands.
So, every action of the students is being monitored in real-time by the heads of the nine academies?
Looking at the invitation cards in his hand, along with the one from White Crane Academy he’d already received, he now had eight, but the Dragon Academy invitation he coveted most was still out of reach.
“Damn it, is the Dragon Academy’s invitation card this hard to get?” Zi Liyuan felt that with his current performance, he should definitely rank among the top few in the Great Xia Empire’s candidates this year. Even so, if the Dragon Academy still didn’t give him an invite, it was clearly severe discrimination against death-related professionals!
“Damn it, I’m set on being the top scholar of the Jiangnan Continent! Heck even the entire empire’s top scholar, I’m going to claim it! When I go for the assessment at Dragon Academy, I must pass with flying colors and crush all of my fellow candidates, casting a long-lasting psychological shadow over them!” No special admission, huh?
Then I’ll crush my peers in the same batch and become their nightmare!
With two cheats in hand, Zi Liyuan didn’t believe he couldn’t give his fellow examinees a psychological shadow!
After leaving the altar square, the first thing he did was to deal with the materials produced by the dungeon on him.
The quantity was large, the quality high, and there was even a heap of blue rare-quahty equipment. After this haul, he had recouped tens of millions in funds, but that wasn’t all.
The silver equipment dropped by the two hero bosses, he sold not a single piece, but instead kept them in his Spatial Backpack, planning to use them when the time came.
Totem Necklace (Silver): Physique +50, Spirit +45, Spiritual Power +4o, Health
Points +1000, Wearing Requirement LV4o.
Totem Ring (Silver): Physique +4o, Spirit +5o, Spiritual Power +45, Spiritual Energy +1000, Wearing Requirement LV40.
He had run the “Ogre Forest” dungeon three times, and he had three of each of these two pieces of equipment.
When a professional reaches LV4o, they will continue to unlock equipment slots, and this time it’s two parts, waist and jewelry.
The waist is for equipping belts, and belts are special equipment with storage s ots. However, only potion-type and scroll-type items can be stored in these S ots, and they can be used instantly with just a thought, without the need to take them out.
Jewelry is for equipping adornments, and this slot doesn’t just have one slot but increases as the level unlocks. At the beginning, there are two jewelry slots and after that, every to levels adds one more. At the fourth transformation LVioo a total of 8 jewelry slots are unlocked.
Jewelry slots can be equipped with earrings, necklaces, rings, and trinkets. Still in reality, these four types of adornments are interchangeable.
The great professionals, with their wisdom, can slightly modify various
different types of jewelry to wear as another type.
For example, string an earring through a cord, and it can be worn as a necklace;
Or, if you don’t mind the weight, you could wear a ring as an earring.
Therefore, the definition of jewelry slots is very vague, which is why after acquiring six jewelry pieces, Zi Liyuan didn’t have the slightest intention of selling them.
Who would let jewelry have such a low drop rate?
Especially high-quality jewelry, at least the blue rare-quality jewelry circulating in the market are very scarce, not to mention the silver hero-quality jewelry. *
Just these six pieces of silver hero-quality jewelry could fetch at least 30 million Dragon Coins on the market, and that’s if you can even find them for sale!
Unless he obtained even stronger jewelry, Zi Liyuan would definitely not sell them.
Just as Zi Liyuan was roaming the market, preparing to buy some items, he unexpectedly encountered a classmate.
Shen Yurou could never have dreamed she would meet this monster, Zi Liyuan at her most disheveled! y ’
Her first thought was to lower her head and sneak past, but she never expected that this guy had such sharp eyes; he spotted her in an instant.
“Xiao Yurou, what’s with you?”
Looking at her face smeared with dirt and grease, clothes with holes, and most importantly, the iron fire rod gun in Shen Yurou’s hand, Zi Liyuan was truly surprised.
“Shut up! I’m not little anymore! Coming to the market, of course, I’m here to
sell equipment and buy materials.”
After retorting angrily, Shen Yurou puffed up her well-filled buns, a trace of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
Now that she had been seen in her worst state, Shen Yurou no longer planned to hide. Instead, she lifted the fire rod gun in her hand and shared its attribute information with Zi Liyuan for inspection.
