Chapter 102: Let’s Make a Bet, Do You Dare?
Lin Moyu walked over slowly.
His aura was steady, like a great mountain.
After going through dungeon after dungeon, Lin Moyu’s aura had unknowingly changed.
It was completely different from the new students, the difference obvious at a glance.
Feng Xiu’s gaze suddenly narrowed, "He’s become even stronger."
Xia Xue also nodded, "Seems so. That guy seems even more impressive now."
A hint of fighting spirit welled up in Zuo Mei’s eyes, "There’s still a battle aura on him. He must have just come out of a dungeon."
Feng Xiu agreed with Zuo Mei’s assessment.
Lin Moyu’s appearance attracted many people’s attention.
"It’s Lin Moyu, the national top scholar."
"He looks a bit different."
"He seems even more impressive than during the big exam."
"Really? I feel a bit scared just looking at him."
The students all discussed among themselves.
Everyone had seen Lin Moyu in the Conquest Space.
If not for Lin Moyu back then, many people would have died in the Conquest Space.
Xia Xue waved her hand, "Lin dummy, we’re over here."
Lin Moyu saw Xia Xue and smiled, his battle aura immediately dissipating.
He quickened his pace slightly and walked over, "You’re all here."
Xia Xue said irritably, "Of course, if we didn’t come wouldn’t that mean we weren’t admitted?"
Lin Moyu also realized the mistake in his words and smiled sheepishly.
Zuo Mei suddenly asked, "What level are you now?"
Lin Moyu didn’t hide it, "Level 22."
What!
Xia Xue let out a strange cry, then quickly covered her mouth.
Feng Xiu was also startled. How was he already level 22?
What level was he during the big exam? How did he reach level 22 in just a few days?
Xia Xue looked shocked, "How did you train? How did you level up so fast?"
Lin Moyu said casually, "Just run a lot of dungeons and you’ll level up."
Feng Xiu said solemnly, "There’s a Dungeon Hall in the university with many dungeons. You can spend points to remove dungeon cooldowns and run them repeatedly."
Xia Xue also knew about the Dungeon Hall. Families like theirs knew more information than ordinary people.
Zuo Mei didn’t know, so she stayed quiet and just listened.
Xia Xue asked, "Have you been running dungeons in the Dungeon Hall?"
Lin Moyu nodded, it was indeed so.
Xia Xue sighed, "You have a lot of points so you can spend freely. I can’t do that, I only have this few points and need to save them."
"You should know points are very very hard to earn."
Lin Moyu didn’t know what to say. He felt that while points weren’t easy to earn, they shouldn’t be that difficult.
Getting rich wasn’t easy, but earning enough points for daily use shouldn’t be hard.
Feng Xiu said solemnly, "Even if you run dungeons repeatedly, this leveling speed is still astonishing."
Reaching level 22 in just a few days was indeed amazing.
How could they know that if Lin Moyu hadn’t been carrying people for the last two days,
He would probably be level 24 by now.
Leveling up wasn’t difficult for Lin Moyu.
With the sound of a bell, the opening ceremony began.
On the originally empty stage, a person suddenly appeared.
"Hello students, I am the director of academic affairs at Summer Capital University. My surname is Qiu, you can call me Director Qiu."
"First, welcome to Summer Capital University."
"I’m sure you were all geniuses in your high schools. In the big exam, you even won city top scholar, provincial top scholar, or even national top scholar titles."
"But those achievements are in the past now. From now on, you are just new students at Summer Capital University."
"At Summer Capital University, you will learn knowledge you’ve never encountered before, experience all kinds of dungeons and battles."
"Instructors will teach you new skills and various survival methods. Similarly, you also need to complete missions assigned by the university."
"The specific missions have been sent to everyone’s communicators. You can check them after the ceremony."
"I’ll briefly explain now. There are ordinary students, academy students, and top academy students in the university."
"It sounds confusing, but you’ll get used to it."
"The three levels enjoy different resources, so everyone, strive to climb higher. Only by going higher will your life be more wonderful."
...
Director Qiu continued his impassioned speech.
In the sky, behind the clouds.
Several people stood in mid-air.
Bai Yiyuan was among them, "Old Qiu says the same things every year. Can’t he update it a bit?"
Ning Tairan snorted, "You do it if you’re so good."
Since yesterday, Ning Tairan had been opposing him, retorting to everything he said.
Bai Yiyuan didn’t mind, "Fine, I’ll do it next year. Old Meng, help me write a speech."
Meng Anwen shook his head, "I won’t write it. You can just improvise."
Bai Yiyuan’s face immediately fell, "Old Meng, you can’t do this to me."
Meng Anwen turned his head and ignored him.
Director Qiu spoke for a full twenty minutes, finally saying everything he needed to say.
Some words were useful, some weren’t, but everyone had to listen anyway.
Then he changed the subject, "We have a traditional program at the opening ceremony, which is the popular senior-junior challenge segment."
"Senior students can challenge new students, and the seniors will put up corresponding points."
"New students can refuse, but if the new student wins, the senior’s points will belong to the new student."
"Of course, win or lose, the new student doesn’t need to pay anything."
As Director Qiu finished speaking, a group of senior students walked onto the stage.
Bai Yiyuan said disdainfully, "Same old routine. Isn’t it just to suppress the new students and let them know their place? What’s the point?"
But Ning Tairan didn’t think so, "These new students are all top scholars from various places, cities and provinces. They all think they’re geniuses and are extremely arrogant. If we don’t suppress them a bit, their heads will be in the clouds."
Bai Yiyuan naturally understood his reasoning. He chuckled, "Wonder if anyone will challenge Lin Moyu."
Challenge Lin Moyu?
Meng Anwen said calmly, "Surely no one would be that foolish."
There was actually such a program.
And such a good deal.
Win and get a reward, lose and it doesn’t matter, at most just lose face.
But what’s so embarrassing about losing to a senior student?
It would be embarrassing for the senior to lose.
Many people were itching to try.
Someone asked, "Director Qiu, we have different levels and skills from the seniors. It’s impossible for us to win."
"And how is safety guaranteed?"
Director Qiu had anticipated such questions.
He immediately smiled and answered, "Good question. The university has already considered this point."
"The competition will take place on a professional arena, with formations suppressing both sides’ levels to match the lower level."
"For example, if one is level 22 and the other is level 17, then the levels will be automatically suppressed to 17, with all attributes at level 17."
"The same goes for skills. Skills above level 20 cannot be used at all."
"As for safety, there’s no need to worry."
"With the formation’s protection, even if you receive a fatal blow on the arena, there won’t be any life danger."
"The university has god-level healers. Even if you lose an arm or leg, it can be regrown in minutes."
The university had considered things thoroughly.
This way, both sides seemed to be brought to an equal footing.
Some people were tempted, showing fighting spirit in their eyes.
The senior students also smiled, very much enjoying this traditional program.
They had accepted the academy’s mission to teach the new students a lesson.
At this moment, a senior student stepped forward. He carried a longbow on his back and pointed at a new student also carrying a longbow, "I challenge you."
That new student happened to be the provincial top scholar of his area and had a very high opinion of himself.
He accepted without hesitation.
Then the senior students all stepped forward, issuing challenges to various new students.
Some agreed, some refused.
"Lin Moyu, I challenge you," a voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Moyu looked up and saw it was Ling Zhen challenging him.
This guy really was persistent.
Three or four times now.
A flash of killing intent flashed through Lin Moyu’s eyes.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t kill him in the university.
"Lin Moyu, you’re this year’s national top scholar. Do you dare accept the challenge? Are you afraid?" Ling Zhen pressed step by step, asking repeatedly.
Lin Moyu said solemnly, "How many points are you putting up?"
Ling Zhen said without hesitation, "I’ll put up 5000 points."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Too little."
Ling Zhen frowned. Lin Moyu actually said his 5000 points were too little.
Ling Zhen asked loudly, "Then how many points do you want for the challenge?"
Lin Moyu held up one finger, "100,000."
Wow!
The whole place fell silent.
The most points anyone here had was 10,000.
Generally around 5000-6000.
Who had ever imagined 100,000 points?
Ling Zhen looked disdainful, "Are you joking? Do you know what 100,000 points means? Do you even have 100,000 points? You’re not worth that much even if sold."
Lin Moyu said, "How about this, let’s have a gambling duel, with my points as the stake."
"If I win, you pay me as many points as I have."
"If I lose, all my points go to you."
"Do you dare? Senior Ling Zhen!"
Lin Moyu emphasized the words "Senior" heavily.
Do you dare or not!
