As a teaching assistant, this Senior Student definitely heard rumours circulating among the school leadership.
She had heard early on that this year’s top ranked freshman in granted points was a Dragon Tamer who was extremely strong. So strong that his major exam score was not publicly disclosed. It was known only to leaders in the admissions office and a few of the deans.
This Senior had been at Dragon Capital University for three years and knew that although the top ranked student each year was exceptional, having four or five thousand granted points was already the limit. This new student in front of her, however, had granted points directly in five digits. How could this be explained!?
So, this Senior was convinced that Lu Fan was the top ranked student from South Province.
Lu Fan rubbed his nose and smiled, saying, “That’s right, it’s me. Doesn’t my identity card say South Province, Jianghai City, Profession Dragon Tamer?”
“It really is you!?” The Senior was extremely excited, like a little fangirl meeting her idol.
She looked at Lu Fan’s granted points in disbelief and exclaimed, “I heard that South Province’s major exam questions were the hardest this year, yet you still scored… 1.3 million points!? Holy crap, is this real!? Are my eyes not deceiving me? You… you’re not Human are you? You’re a genius! No, you should be called a monster!”
Her expression made Qin Qiu and Tao Xiaoman exchange bitter smiles. When they first learned of Lu Fan’s score earlier, their surprise was no less than this Senior’s.
Lu Fan saw that the Senior’s exclamations were about to attract more people. He certainly did not want to be stared at like a monkey. So, Lu Fan quickly said, “Senior, I came to run Dungeon Instances. Could you please help me find a few suitable ones for us?”
“Oh… oh, I’m sorry, I lost my composure a bit. I’ll find them for you right away!” The Senior hurriedly touched her face, smiled apologetically, then started typing rapidly on the keyboard. She quickly sent over various Dungeon Instance information to the tablet in their hands.
Qin Qiu and Tao Xiaoman were sensible and directly handed the tablet to Lu Fan, letting him choose.
After all, Lu Fan was the strongest. He could be considered the leader of their team, having the authority to make the decisions.
Lu Fan naturally did not stand on ceremony. He took the tablet, and began to filter through the Dungeon Instances.
At this time, the Senior did not forget to patiently introduce, “Our Dragon Capital University has a total of 49 public Dungeon Instances, ranging from Level 15 to Level 45, with different minimum Player requirements. We have Single Player Dungeon Instances to Ten Player Dungeon Instances.”
“Besides these 49 public Dungeon Instances, because you’re ranked in the top 30 among new students, considered a provisional Noble Class Student, there are 16 Advance Dungeon Instances not open to ordinary students for you to choose from. These 16 Dungeon Instances are mostly of Terror difficulty. They are of higher difficulty but they also come with more Experience Point Reward.”
Lu Fan looked through them one by one, nodding and saying, “So, as a new student ranked in the top 30, it would be more worthwhile for me to run Advance Dungeon Instances, right?”
The Senior nodded and said, “Of course. If you can clear them, Advance Dungeon Instances are definitely more worthwhile. However, Advance Dungeon Instances are a lot more difficult and also require more points. If you can’t clear them and quit halfway, you’ll lose a lot of points.”
“Oh, that’s not a problem, I should be able to clear them,” Lu Fan said nonchalantly.
After all, he had already easily cleared the Nightmare difficulty major exam. Dungeon Instances up to Level 45 were not a challenge for him.
Lu Fan focused his attention on the 16 Advance Dungeon Instances, but looking at the information for all 16 Dungeon Instances made Lu Fan’s head spin. So, Lu Fan could only smile and once again seek help from the Senior teaching assistant: “Senior, which of these 16 Advance Dungeon Instances has the highest Experience Point Reward?”
The Senior answered seriously, “If we’re talking about the one that solely gives out the most Experience Points, it’s definitely the Poison Spider Forest. This is a Five to Eight Player Dungeon Instance with a large number of Monsters. Clearing it will earn the most Experience Points.”
After a pause, the Senior frowned and said, “But, the level of this Dungeon Instance is a bit too high for you, and it’s a Terror difficulty Dungeon Instance. It’s too hard for you to clear. You should all be around Level 20, right? Among the Advance Dungeon Instances, there’s one called Island Crocodile Raid. That’s more suitable for you.”
Lu Fan looked it up, and the Island Crocodile Raid Dungeon Instance was a Level 20 Dungeon Instance, and only in the Difficult difficulty.
Speaking of its Level and difficulty, it was indeed very suitable for a Level 20 team. However, for Lu Fan, a Level 20 Dungeon Instance was too easy. What Lu Fan was really interested in was the Poison Spider Forest with the most Experience.
Lu Fan quickly found the information for the Poison Spider Forest. Indeed, it was a Level 45 Terror difficulty Dungeon Instance. The notes even stated that this Dungeon Instance had the highest Experience Points yield out of all the other Dungeon Instances in Dragon Capital University. At the same time, it was also one of the most difficult Dungeon Instances.
This Dungeon Instance was probably usually run by fourth year students.
Only those fourth year students, who had already undergone their Second Profession Change, and were around Level 40, could form teams to run this Dungeon Instance.
Moreover, the students in the team all had to be top students at Dragon Capital University.
Such a Dungeon Instance indeed attracted Lu Fan’s interest.
However, just from the name Poison Spider Forest, one could tell it was probably as gloomy as Despair Village, if not worse.
So, Lu Fan asked Qin Qiu and Tao Xiaoman for their opinions.
The two girls were very obedient to Lu Fan. Without even looking at the information for the Dungeon Instance, they let Lu Fan decide.
They knew that once they entered the Dungeon Instance, they would just be filling in as numbers. They would clearly be Carried by Lu Fan, so they fully entrusted the Dungeon Instance selection rights to Lu Fan.
Seeing that the two girls hold no objections, Lu Fan made the decision – they would choose the Poison Spider Forest!
“Senior, we choose this one, Poison Spider Forest!” Lu Fan handed the tablet back to the Senior.
When the Senior heard this, her face was full of horror. “What!? Poison Spider Forest!? Junior, don’t joke around! Although you’re ranked first among the new students, this Dungeon Instance is still too difficult for you. This is a Dungeon Instance for crying out loud. You’re not playing house! If something goes wrong, you could actually die!”
Lu Fan smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern, Senior, but we’re confident we can clear this Dungeon Instance. Don’t worry.”
The Senior tried to persuade them a few more times, but Lu Fan insisted on choosing the Poison Spider Forest, so she had no choice.
However, there was another problem that came with it – the number of people.
Just like the Despair Village Secret Realm before, if the number of people was insufficient or too many, the Dungeon Instance would not be activated.
Because the Poison Spider Forest was very difficult, it was a Five to Eight Player Dungeon Instance, with Five Players giving the highest amount of Experience Points but also being the bare minimum number of Players required.
But the key was that Lu Fan’s team currently only had three people.
Even if they called Han Ke to come Level Up together, there would only be four people. They were still one short.
[Do we have to find a random person to team up with? Guess that’s the only option.] Lu Fan asked Qin Qiu to call Auntie to see if she had time to come team up for the Dungeon Instance.
Lu Fan himself began to look around, to see if there were any lone students who could fill a spot and run the Dungeon Instance with them.
Lu Fan had not walked a few steps when he suddenly saw a young lady in black leather armour, with waterfall-like long hair sitting not far away at another service desk. She was slightly frowning as she was searching through information of the Dungeon Instances.
The Senior serving her seemed to be having a tough time, explaining to her, “…Junior, don’t look anymore. If you want to find a Single Player Dungeon Instance with high Experience Point Rewards, there’s only one. It is that Level 15 Low Grade Dungeon Instance. All those that yield High Experience Points are all Multiplayer Dungeon Instances. Generally, the more Players required for a Dungeon Instance, the more Monsters inside, and the higher the Experience Point yield. This is common sense. If you think the Level 15 Single Player Dungeon Instance is too low in difficulty and Experience Point Reward, it’s best to find people to team up. That way, there are several better choices for you, like Island Crocodile Raid and such. Those are often run by our academy students when aiming for their Second Profession Change.”
Jian Ying, while browsing through the Dungeon Instance information, coolly said, “I don’t like people dragging me down. Is this all? I can handle Level 40 and above Single Player Dungeon Instances too.”
The Senior smiled helplessly: “You’re a provisional Noble Class Student ranked in the top 30 among new students. I’ve shown you all 16 Advance Dungeon Instances. There just aren’t any that meet your requirements. Our academy doesn’t have many Single Player Dungeon Instances. If you insist on running Single Player Dungeon Instances, you’ll have to go to the University’s Treasure Auction Hall to check. There might be information about some Single Player Secret Realms being auctioned off there, but such things are hard to come by.”
Saying this, the Senior earnestly advised: “Junior, I can see you’re quite independent, aren’t you? I think you should change your personality a bit. In today’s world, different Professions have different advantages and disadvantages. Only by cooperating can one bring out the advantages of their Profession. Even Professions most suited for Solo Play are no exception. Being able to find a suitable fixed team during your University years is absolutely the greatest gain of your University life. If you don’t like people dragging you down when running Dungeon Instances, you can find those strong enough to be your teammates. For example, you’re ranked second among the new students. You could go find those ranked first, third, fourth, and so on. I think they would also be willing to team up with a strong person like you. If you Level Up together in the future and help each other, wouldn’t you all get stronger?”
The Senior’s words made Jian Ying fall into brief contemplation.
After a moment, Jian Ying returned the tablet to the Senior without a word. She clearly no longer planned to run any Dungeon Instances today and intends to go elsewhere.
However, just as Jian Ying had taken a couple of steps, she found someone walking towards her.
When she saw who it was, her brows unconsciously furrowed.
Lu Fan saw Jian Ying’s expression of obvious disdain upon seeing him and immediately felt a bit awkward.
Coming up to Jian Ying, Lu Fan coughed and forced a smile, saying, “Hi Jian Ying.”
Jian Ying looked at him without speaking.
“Uh…” After the awkward silence, Lu Fan did not retreat in the face of difficulty but directly stated his purpose for coming over. “I see you’re looking for some Dungeon Instances with high Experience Point Rewards to run. I’m the same. Coincidentally, our team is short of one person. Would you like to join?”
