Chapter 125: Dungeon Tower

Could Lin Zhu be doing some weird things to Gandalf tonight while my main body isn't around?

On second thought, he felt it was unlikely.

If something had really happened last night, the System would definitely have given him a prompt.

Since the System was completely silent, it was obvious that nothing had happened.

Only then did Zhou Huai relax slightly.

He decided to let Gandalf's smart core ai be more cautious in the future.

…

Twenty minutes later.

Led by Lu Zhiyi, the two finally arrived at the dungeon area mentioned by Zhang Donglai.

The scene before them made Zhou Huai feel shocked once again.

It was a skyscraper made entirely of obsidian and alloy, piercing straight into the clouds with at least twenty or thirty floors.

The surface of the building was covered with flowing light screens, scrolling with various information and leaderboards, full of a futuristic technological sense.

At the entrance of the Dungeon Tower, the crowd was bustling, with countless students wearing academy uniforms coming and going, full of life.

In the square at the entrance, various shouts rose and fell one after another.

"The Hard-grade [Wailing Mines] party is forming! We need a strong warrior with strength over three hundred, and those with Epic weapons get priority!"

"The twenty-person raid [Molten Core] is missing two high-damage DPS! Is there any boss leading the team?!"

A boy with a loud voice shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Are there any strong DPS! Our team has a D-cup senior sister priest, and her healing output is more than enough! Her game sense is alluring, and her positioning is first-class!"

Zhou Huai looked at this building, feeling a sigh of emotion in his heart.

This was much more spectacular than that small Trial Tower in Donghai City.

With a hint of pride on her face, Lu Zhiyi introduced it.

"This is the most famous Myriad Phenomena Trial Building of our Imperial Capital Academy."

"Privately, we all call it the Dungeon Tower."

"Here, dungeons from Rank 20 to Rank 40 are available for everything."

Lu Zhiyi led Gandalf, squeezed through the crowded crowd, and walked into the interior of the Dungeon Tower.

The lobby on the first floor was exceptionally wide, with an extremely high dome, resembling a huge station.

The crowd was even more bustling, a bit more than outside.

"This is the point exchange area on the first floor," Lu Zhiyi explained.

"Students can exchange the Materials or equipment obtained in the dungeons for academy points here."

She pointed to rows of windows in the distance, where quite a few students were queuing up.

"Don't underestimate these points."

"With enough points, you can go to the twentieth floor and above of the tower to buy anything you want with points."

"Equipment, Materials, skill books, and even legendary-quality equipment blueprints."

A light of yearning flashed in Lu Zhiyi's eyes.

"Of course, the points required for that are also an astronomical figure."

"Besides these, points can also be used to deduct tuition fees, meal fees, and accommodation fees."

"In the academy, points are everything. This is also to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for grinding dungeons."

Zhou Huai nodded knowingly, and then asked.

"Can someone in my situation use Materials to exchange for points?"

After all, he wasn't a formal student of the Imperial Capital Academy, but just came over to borrow the dungeons to level up.

Hearing this, Lu Zhiyi smiled and nodded.

"General Zhang has already told me about your situation."

She took out a brand-new black crystal card from her pocket and handed it over.

"General Zhang also considered this point, so he asked me to help you get the point card ready yesterday."

"With this card, you can also exchange the Materials obtained in the dungeon for points."

"In addition, General Zhang has already topped up ten thousand point credits for you in this card, which is enough for your daily expenses in the academy."

Zhou Huai took the card.

His favorable impression of that General Zhang increased by a few more points in his heart.

This general's thoughts were truly meticulous.

He even considered this point.

Unfortunately, Gandalf's Clone didn't need to eat at all.

However, to avoid arousing suspicion, he would still have to pretend to go to the cafeteria for a meal every day in the future.

After introducing the first floor, Lu Zhiyi led Zhou Huai toward the elevator on the side.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the second floor to take a look."

The elevator door opened.

The scene on the second floor opened Zhou Huai's horizons once again.

This place was like a huge teleportation center.

Teleportation gates exuding a deep blue halo were neatly arranged on both sides of the hall, stretching endlessly.

Between the teleportation gates were large resting areas, furnished with comfortable sofas and tables and chairs.

Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf to take a rough glance.

He found that there were at least over a hundred dungeon teleportation gates here.

The entrances were all marked with dungeon names and Ranks, basically all Rank 20.

The difficulties ranged from Normal, Hard, Nightmare, to the highest Calamity-grade, everything was available.

The biggest difference was that besides the conventional five-person dungeons here,

there were also large-scale raid dungeons for ten people, twenty people, or even fifty people and a hundred people.

Above each teleportation gate hung a huge electronic display screen.

It scrolled and played the fastest record for clearing that dungeon.

The names of the team members, classes, and clearance time were clearly listed on it.

This was used to motivate other students, treating them as targets to catch up with.

At this moment, there weren't many people on the second floor.

In the resting area not far away, several students were sitting around together, sighing.

"Damn it, we failed again!"

"It's all Wang Hao's fault. His game sense is too poor. We asked him to block the front main entrance, but there was no movement for a long time. It almost caused our entire team to wipe!"

"Exactly! We've been fighting for three days, and we still can't pass a Hard-difficulty ten-person raid. What a fucking embarrassment!"

A boy surrounded in the middle of them had a flushed face and abruptly stood up.

"You think I'm bad, right? Fine! I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"

"You guys go find another awesome mage yourselves!"

After saying that, he turned his head and left without looking back.

Seeing this, the remaining few people just curled their lips in dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, let him be."

"He doesn't listen when told, doesn't do it after listening, does it wrong after doing it, doesn't fix it after getting it wrong, and still gets it wrong after fixing it. Who's going to spoil his bad habits?"

"That's right, at worst we'll just find another person."

While speaking, the few people happened to see Lu Zhiyi and Gandalf walking over.

Lu Zhiyi was obviously a prominent figure in the academy.

As soon as those students saw her, they immediately stood up enthusiastically.

"Yo, isn't this Senior Sister Lu Zhiyi?!"

"Why do you have time to come to the second floor?"

Lu Zhiyi smiled and responded.

"Today I'm accompanying this junior schoolmate here to experience the dungeons of our academy."

The leading boy of the Warrior class had his gaze fall on Gandalf, and his eyes lit up.

"So soon there's a newly arrived junior schoolmate?"

He immediately crowded over, with a smile piled on his face.

"Senior Sister, it's just right, our team just lost a mage, why not let this junior schoolmate come with us?"

"Leave it to us, we guarantee to carry him to fly!"

He looked at Gandalf again and asked.

"Junior schoolmate, what class are you?"

Zhou Huai thought for a moment, and controlled Gandalf to speak calmly.

"Mage."

Upon hearing this, the boy was overjoyed.

"Mages are great! What we lack are mages!"

Seeing this, Lu Zhiyi looked at Zhou Huai to seek his opinion.

"In that case, Gandalf, you can go with them to try the ten-person raid."

"Presumably you haven't experienced a ten-person dungeon yet, right?"

Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf to nod.

He really wanted to see what this ten-person dungeon looked like.

Soon, this temporarily cobbled-together ten-person team quickly assembled.

They selected the dungeon [Protecting Tuoye Town].

The difficulty was still Hard.

As the team leader pressed the confirmation key, the figures of the ten people were instantly swallowed by the teleportation gate.
