Chapter 74: Dungeon Hall, Getting Big Results with Little Money
Ning Yiyi was away on some business.
Perhaps she had gone to do another mission.
The first time Lin Moyu met Ning Yiyi, she was also on a mission.
Lin Moyu didn’t find it strange.
At Summer Capital University, everyone was busy. No one was truly free.
In a few days, this year’s new students admitted to Summer Capital University would arrive.
Then the university would start unified classes, becoming even busier.
Lin Moyu didn’t rush to activate the teleportation stone, but instead checked the information Bai Yiyuan had sent him.
"Requirements to enter Creation God Academy."
"Level over 30."
Just the first requirement shocked Lin Moyu internally.
"Sister... is over level 30?"
"So fast!"
From the information Bai Yiyuan revealed, Lin Mohan had joined Creation God Academy just 3-4 months after entering the university.
This meant Lin Mohan had leveled from 16 to 30 in just 3-4 months.
This speed was astonishing.
Normally, going from level 20 to 30 would take about a year.
Unless Lin Mohan could solo Nightmare dungeons like him.
But such people were extremely rare.
Lin Moyu couldn’t figure out how Lin Mohan had leveled up.
He could only ask when he saw her.
After reading the level requirement, Lin Moyu continued to the next requirement.
"Clear the level 30 dungeon [Abyss Frontline] on Hell difficulty."
This condition seemed somewhat difficult.
Hell difficulty was much harder than Nightmare.
Clearing a Hell difficulty dungeon had comprehensive requirements for career, mentality, skills, equipment, and abilities.
Ordinary teams had no chance of clearing it.
Only extremely elite teams could pass.
"When I reach level 30, I’ll try soloing it."
Lin Moyu thought, not even considering forming a team.
Soloing was much more satisfying than teaming up.
"Third requirement, reach 1000 contribution points."
Contribution points were different from regular points.
They could only be obtained by completing university missions or doing things beneficial to the university.
Like this Mermaid Island trial, he would gain some contribution points.
As for how many, it was unknown at the moment.
Contribution points were necessary to enter top academies, which is why Jiang Taotao said the trial was very important to her.
If she wanted to join a top academy, she had to earn enough contribution points.
There were only three requirements, not too many.
But none of them were simple.
After memorizing them, Lin Moyu activated the teleportation stone.
He heard a clamor of noise, extremely lively.
"Burial Grounds dungeon, Normal difficulty, need level 25 mage, preferably fire specialist."
"Blood Brawl Orc Legion dungeon, Nightmare difficulty, need healer, level 22-25, must be healing expert, full bronze equipment minimum."
"Dark Tower, Nightmare difficulty, need level 30+ knight, full silver equipment required, must have Ally Protection skill."
Lin Moyu felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing the market-like environment.
The Dungeon Hall was within the university, but couldn’t be reached by normal means.
Only after passing Academic Affairs’ review and confirming eligibility, then paying 1000 points to buy a special teleportation stone, could one enter.
Lin Moyu had originally thought the Dungeon Hall would be solemn and sacred.
But now he saw it was like a marketplace.
Many students were recruiting team members, sitting on the ground holding signs with requirements.
They also called out occasionally.
It wasn’t much different from outside regular dungeon entrances.
Lin Moyu even doubted if this was really the Dungeon Hall.
Had he come to the wrong place?
Looking past these people, he saw a huge hall.
That must be the real Dungeon Hall.
Lin Moyu walked in.
All the clamor disappeared the moment he stepped into the Dungeon Hall.
People inside were also talking, but in hushed voices.
A strange sound also echoed in the hall.
Vortex-like dungeon entrances were distributed throughout the corners of the hall.
The sound came from these dungeon entrances.
Different dungeons produced different sounds.
There were over a hundred such entrances, their various sounds interweaving to form a very unique soundscape.
Each dungeon entrance had a crystal ball.
The crystal balls displayed information like the dungeon name, level requirements, entry rules, cooldown time, etc.
Back in West Sea First High, Lin Moyu knew the empire controlled many dungeon resources.
He didn’t expect Summer Capital University to also control so many dungeon resources.
This world had countless dungeons.
It seemed reasonable for the Divine Summer Empire’s top university to control some dungeon resources.
After all, even figures like the White God came from Summer Capital University.
More accurately, over half of the Divine Summer Empire’s top experts came from Summer Capital University.
Above each dungeon entrance vortex was a light screen.
The screen displayed records for that dungeon.
Lin Moyu observed that the screens only showed the top 3 records, and only for the highest difficulty.
If a dungeon had Hell difficulty, only the top 3 Hell records were shown.
If it only had Nightmare difficulty, then the top 3 Nightmare records.
The records included clear time, team member names, levels, careers, etc.
This served as a reference.
Other teams wanting to clear the dungeon could copy successful strategies.
After many teams’ attempts, very good compositions had been found.
If you could find an even better one and set a new record, that would be even better.
This setup had a competitive element.
It would make teams want to strive for first place.
Appearing on a dungeon ranking board was a great honor.
"Excuse me..."
A gentle voice suddenly came from behind Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu turned to see a female student about 20 years old standing behind him.
She took a deep breath, gathering courage, "Hello, is this your first time in the Dungeon Hall?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
She continued, "My name is Shu Han. I can introduce you to everything in the Dungeon Hall."
There’s no free lunch. Manna doesn’t fall from heaven.
Especially in Summer Capital University, to gain something you must give something.
Lin Moyu asked, "How much?"
Shu Han immediately said, "100 points is enough."
She seemed a bit nervous.
Perhaps this was her first time doing this.
100 points...
It didn’t sound like much.
But points weren’t easy to earn.
Actually, 100 points wasn’t little.
Lin Moyu didn’t respond immediately.
Seeing Lin Moyu hadn’t agreed, Shu Han quickly added, "70 points is also okay."
"Let’s go with 100."
Lin Moyu transferred 100 points to Shu Han.
After receiving the points, Shu Han let out a long sigh of relief and smiled sweetly, "Thank you."
"The main function of the Dungeon Hall is to access various dungeons."
"In the entire Dungeon Hall, there are 40 dungeons for levels 10-40."
"The remaining 52 are for levels 40-70."
"Besides those, there are 2 large dungeons and 1 super large dungeon."
"95 dungeons in total."
Large dungeons were for 40+ players, while super large dungeons were called 100-player dungeons.
Lin Moyu asked, "What about dungeons above level 70?"
Shu Han shook her head, "Dungeons above level 70 aren’t here."
Lin Moyu roughly understood. Dungeons above level 70 were likely managed directly by the university.
They wouldn’t be placed in the Dungeon Hall for casual access.
Those dungeons were very important resources.
The materials and equipment that appeared in them were very useful.
Shu Han continued explaining the various functions of the Dungeon Hall.
For Lin Moyu, though this was just information he could figure out eventually on his own,
Having someone explain saved him a lot of time.
The cost was just 100 points.
He still had over 130,000 points, so 100 was just a small amount.
"Each dungeon has corresponding clear records."
"If you can set a new record, you’ll get rewards."
"Dungeon entry conditions also vary. Most require meeting a basic level, but some require an average team level."
"Some special dungeons also have requirements for the highest or lowest level in the team."
Dungeons were diverse, with different requirements.
Lin Moyu asked, "Are there any dungeons without level requirements?"
Shu Han shook her head, "There used to be, but after people died inside, it was too dangerous. The university set level requirements, not allowing entry if your level is too low."
"There are still many dungeons without level requirements in the wild."
There was a fundamental difference in safety between entering dungeons through the Dungeon Hall versus wild dungeons.
Inside, you could exit the dungeon at any time. If in danger, you could choose to leave.
Safety was greatly increased.
Unless instantly killed, it was hard to die.
In other words, the money wasn’t wasted.
From the dungeon level settings and ranking competition,
Lin Moyu saw the university wanted to cultivate students.
From low-level to high-level dungeons, while striving to ensure student safety.
Students admitted to Summer Capital University were all talented. Losing even one would pain the university greatly.
So safety was naturally important.
That’s why dungeon levels were specified, determining what level could enter what dungeon.
Aiming too high wasn’t allowed.
