Chapter 66 Soloing the Dungeon! Evolution Point Frenzy Mode Activated!
The next half hour.
Lin Xiong carefully shared his experience on how to "interpersonal communication" with Su Lin.
Su Lin used to scoff at these things.
But when he thought of how Lin Xiong could build a skyscraper from scratch and extract four rare and precious materials from the four major families, he no longer dared to underestimate him and began to study the text word by word.
"By the way, Uncle Lin, how's your investigation going regarding the Extraordinary Cult?"
After Su Lin finished studying, he suddenly thought of this matter.
"The Cult of Extraordinary People..."
Lin Xiong's expression was somewhat grave: "Based on the investigation over the past few days, if nothing unexpected happens, the recent abnormal demonization of the dungeon should be the work of these bastards."
"In fact, the higher-ups suspect they're planning something big recently, and it's very likely related to the college entrance exam, but those bastards are hiding it too well, and we can't find any clues for the time being."
"Is it related to the college entrance examination?"
Su Lin frowned.
As someone who directly benefits from the college entrance examination, wouldn't it also affect me if the other party made some moves?
"You don't need to worry too much. The college entrance examination is a key national project and a matter of great importance. There won't be any major problems with its safety."
Lin Xiong noticed Su Lin's worry and comforted him, "Besides, you have two B-rank beast pets with perfect bloodlines. Even five S-rank geniuses can't break through your defenses. What are you afraid of?"
"Focus on improving yourself these next few days. The rest is for us old folks, so don't worry about it."
"OK."
Su Lin nodded.
Since Lin Xiong has already said that, there's no point in him thinking about it anymore.
"By the way, your gold elemental spirit and the materials for its second advancement have already been delivered to Qingli. She really likes the gift, and even that senior praised you for your thoughtfulness."
Lin Xiong said with a smile.
"I'm glad you like it. When is Qingli coming back?"
Su Lin asked.
"Well..."
Lin Xiong stroked his chin: "It'll probably be on the day of the college entrance exam. Because we have a new pet, Qing Li needs to train and improve a lot more during this time, so she won't be back for a while."
"Alright."
Su Lin thought he would see Lin Qingli in the next couple of days, but it didn't matter. There were only four days left until the college entrance exam, and it would pass quickly.
"Alright, go level up. These next few days are crucial. I heard that after you thrashed those geniuses from the four major families last time, they've been holding their breath and leveling up like crazy lately, not even sleeping. Some of them are almost at the threshold of level 30 and the second job advancement!"
Lin Xiong put pressure on Su Lin one last time: "Don't be arrogant. Remember, until the very last moment of the college entrance exam, no one knows if a dark horse will emerge."
"understood."
Su Lin nodded, keeping these words firmly in mind. He then made some preparations, rested briefly, and left Jiangyang City again.
This time, he was fully prepared. He had enough food and equipment for four days in his spatial ring, and he even spent several million to buy some spiritual food for Chi Yan, Tie Jia, and Feng Ling.
"Being a beast tamer is really expensive. Putting aside everything else, most people can't even afford the most basic food and drink."
Su Lin tossed a bright blue fruit the size of a longan into the mouth of the Wind Spirit Sparrow. This little thing was worth more than a thousand yuan.
There's a reason it's so expensive: it not only increases a pet's sense of fullness and intimacy with its owner, but also gives the pet the ability to evolve!
However, Su Lin's actual tests showed that its ability to improve is very weak. One fruit can only increase the evolution points by 0.1 to 0.5. The more you eat, the less effective it becomes. It's better than nothing.
"But it doesn't matter anyway, I didn't expect these little snacks to make much of a difference."
"Killing monsters is enough!"
Su Lin took out a dungeon key.
The key is entirely golden, like a piece of golden ore, and its shape is an irregular sphere.
"According to Uncle Lin's information, this dungeon is located in a mountain valley fifteen miles south of Jiangyang City. It's level 15 and filled with metal and rock-type monsters with high defense, but that doesn't matter to me, as long as there are plenty of them!"
While thinking about it, Su Lin took a car and headed to the location of the instance.
In the wild, some special dungeons that can only be opened once or require several special dungeon keys each time are called secret realms.
Those that always exist, have cheap keys, and can be repeatedly accessed are simply referred to as dungeons.
Because of Su Lin's request, there was no need to look for those expensive and demanding secret realms, so Lin Xiong found him this dungeon with lots of monsters.
These types of dungeons usually have dedicated shuttle buses for round-trip travel.
Furthermore, around the dungeon, there are official human camps, and with the increasing number of professionals coming and going, a small market will spontaneously form.
The journey of a dozen or so miles is not far, and in order to ensure efficient passage, someone clears out the monsters in the area around the road every day.
In less than half an hour, Su Lin arrived at the small market in this instance.
"Mining Market".
Because it is a low-level dungeon, and most of the monsters inside are related to metal and ore, it is simply named Level 20 Mine Dungeon.
It may sound simple, but the nearby market is quite lively.
Four days have passed since the start of the college entrance examination season, and many students have reached the minimum entry requirement of level 15. In addition, the dungeon is not difficult, so it is still very popular.
"Take a look! Freshly forged bronze equipment, a level 15 one-handed sword, essential for home, travel, monster slaying, and PvP!"
"A C-rank pharmacist's homemade potent medicine, the Power Pill! Only 500 yuan a pill!"
"New healer looking for someone to team up with! Big heals, plenty of food! Looking for A-rank or higher warriors to team up with!"
"..."
As soon as Su Lin got out of the car, he heard a constant stream of shouts.
Looking around, it was already evening. Campfires were lit all over the camp, and stalls were everywhere, selling equipment, medicine, materials, and even stinky tofu and fried snacks.
A group of professionals, mostly young people, moved about among them.
When facing the mine instance, they naturally couldn't be as relaxed as Su Lin; they all entered in teams, and all five members had to be present.
Unlike Su Lin, who came specifically to solo the monsters, afraid that others would steal his kills.
"This is the reality for most ordinary recent graduates."
Su Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He also wanted to bring a few pretty girls along, chat and laugh, play around in the dungeon, you use your big breasts and I'll let the big python charge, how happy and joyful that would be.
Unfortunately, the ability didn't allow it.
The girl may be beautiful and soft, but there's already a wife at home!
Besides, taking girls along is too time-consuming and slows down the monster-killing speed!
While thinking this, Su Lin arrived at the dungeon entrance without attracting anyone's attention.
He took out the key and pressed the button.
[Ding! You have unlocked the Mine Dungeon - Hard Mode. Level requirement: 15-25. Party size limit: 5 players. Current party: 1 player. Enter now?]
"Enter!"
