Chapter 28

Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to say, "Thank you."

Then, she looked puzzled, "Why don't you use it yourself?"

Lin Moyu took out the Goblin King's magic book, "I use this."

Magic books and staves are both weapons for the Mage class, but most Mages choose staves.

After all, besides looking imposing, staves can sometimes be used to block and perform simple physical attacks.

Magic books don't have this function.

Relatively speaking, staves are more practical.

This is the experience everyone has gathered. Xia Xue didn't understand, "But staves are more practical than magic books."

Lin Moyu shook his head, "I don't like staves."

…

This reason left Xia Xue unable to refute it.

It was actually for this reason.

Come to think of it, that makes sense.

Moreover, from beginning to end, she hadn't seen Lin Moyu take out the magic book at all.

"Perhaps he doesn't even care about the small bonus from the magic book."

Lin Moyu didn't know what Xia Xue was thinking; he was checking the changes in his stats after leveling up.

[Name: Lin Moyu]

[Class: Necromancer (Unique)]

[Level: 15 (8.00%)]

[Strength: 200]

[Agility: 200]

[Spirit: 800 (+20)]

[Constitution: 200 (+20)]

[Equipment: Goblin King's magic book, Robe of Knowledge]

[Summoning Space: 84/150, Skeleton Warrior (Quantity: 84)]

[Talent: Comprehensive Amplification (Level 2, Unique)]

[Passive Skill: Damage Transfer]

[Active Skills: Soul Fire (Level 15), Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 15), Corpse Explosion (Level 1)]

[Comprehensive Amplification (Level 2): All skill effects are increased by 20 times.]

[Damage Transfer: All damage received by the Necromancer is borne by the summoned creatures.]

[Soul Fire (Level 15): Burns the target's soul, causing burning damage. The power depends on one's own Spirit and skill level.]

[Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 15): Summons a Bronze-grade Skeleton Warrior.]

[Corpse Explosion (Level 1): Detonates a corpse, dealing damage equal to 10% of the corpse's health to enemies within a 1-meter radius.]

Finally reaching Level 15, his chances of getting into Xiajing Academy were much higher.

If he could reach Level 16, that would be best, but if he really couldn't, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After reaching Level 15, the speed of experience gain slowed down again…

Originally, Lin Moyu had expected his experience to increase to around 12%, but it was only 8%.

Although they were in a two-person party and Xia Xue took away a portion of the experience.

It was indeed much slower.

Lin Moyu calculated in his mind.

Xia Xue's primary cooldown amulet could still allow the two of them to run the Dungeon three more times.

At his speed, three Dungeon runs would only take half an hour.

Afterwards, there would still be two natural cooldown periods.

Which meant they could still run the Dungeon five more times.

Of course, he would definitely bring Xia Xue for the last two times as well.

Since he brought her from the start, he couldn't bring himself to leave her behind later.

"Running the Dungeon five times in a two-person party should be enough for me to reach Level 16."

Looking at the Goblin King lying on the ground, Lin Moyu said calmly, "Sorry, I might have to kill you five more times."

Seeing Lin Moyu actually talking to the Goblin King, Xia Xue felt very surprised.

"Why are you talking to the BOSS? It can't understand you."

Lin Moyu said softly, "I just wanted to say it; whether it can understand or not is not important."

Xia Xue was even more confused, "Then why did you say that?"

Lin Moyu did not answer Xia Xue's question.

For some reason, when Xia Xue thought of the scene where Lin Moyu just said sorry to the BOSS, she suddenly felt that Lin Moyu was a bit cute.

Who would seriously say sorry to a BOSS?

Aren't Dungeons just meant to be farmed?

Isn't a BOSS just meant to be killed?

Although the BOSSes in high-level Dungeons have to be killed countless times, countless Professionals also die at their hands.

Why is there anything to be sorry about?

"What a weirdo, but also a bit cute."

Xia Xue suddenly laughed out loud.

Lin Moyu gave her a strange look, "Let's go out, we'll continue."

"Okay, let's continue."

Chapter 38: If Possible, Aim for Provincial Top Scholar

Leaving the Dungeon, Xia Xue immediately used the primary cooldown amulet.

After only a dozen seconds, the two entered the Nightmare-grade West Sea Mine Dungeon again.

Entering for the second time, Xia Xue seemed like a different person.

While running with Lin Moyu, she was in a state of excitement.

The excitement on her face made Lin Moyu feel a bit strange.

Is there any need to be this excited?

It's just pulling a wave of monsters and blowing them up.

It's just a low-level Dungeon; it's not that big of a deal.

His strange look was also caught by Xia Xue.

Xia Xue's spoiled young lady temper also flared up, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful woman before?"

Lin Moyu had seen them; he had been seeing them for years.

Must say, she was indeed quite beautiful.

Comparing Xia Xue with Ning Yiyi, both had their own merits, and it was hard to tell who was better.

One was petite and cute.

One was tall and proud.

Each had their own unique charm.

However, Lin Moyu felt nothing about this.

Ning Yiyi was his friend, and Xia Xue was his classmate.

10 minutes later, the dignified Nightmare-grade BOSS, the Goblin King, fell in front of Lin Moyu once again.

That unwilling gaze, that frustrating way of dying…

Lin Moyu said softly, "Four more times."

The two ran the Dungeon four times in a row, taking less than an hour in total.

Xia Xue used up all the charges on the amulet.

The amulet became dim and dull.

It became no different from an ordinary stone.

Only by looking very carefully could one faintly see some runes inside.

Xia Xue put away the cooldown amulet, "The amulet needs to be recharged when we go back."

The cooldown amulet is not a one-time item.

After the usage counts are exhausted, it needs to be recharged.

However, according to Xia Xue, the recharging process is very complicated.

It requires a high-level Alchemist to complete.

As for how high-level, she didn't know either.

After running the Dungeon four times in a row, Xia Xue's level had reached 14, with 20% experience.

Running it two more times, she would definitely reach Level 15.

And Lin Moyu was still at Level 15, with 85% experience.

After reaching Level 15, running the Dungeon once in a two-person party only increased experience by 26%.

The efficiency was indeed several times slower.

There was still a day and a half left before the big exam, enough for them to run the Dungeon two more times.

Xia Xue was full of excitement, "Reaching Level 15 before the big exam, getting into Xiajing Academy is a sure thing."

"Lin Dork, are you also about to level up?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Soon."

Xia Xue temporarily lost the thought of comparing herself with Lin Moyu, "By then, you'll be Level 16, and I'll be Level 15. If two people from our Xihai City can get into Xiajing Academy this year, I bet Principal Lu Yun would be able to laugh in his dreams."

Having students get into Xiajing Academy is a great honor for all high school principals.

It is common knowledge how hard it is to get into Xiajing Academy.

Only prodigies can get into Xiajing Academy.

And only by entering Xiajing Academy can one be called a top prodigy.

Xiajing Academy only recruits 1000 people every year; that is 1000 people from the entire Shenxia Empire.

Moreover, many of these spots are occupied by some big cities and big families.

People from small cities find it very hard to compete with the geniuses from these big families.

Last year, Lin Mohan got into Xiajing Academy, and Principal Lu Yun celebrated for several days.

A few years ago, Su Qianxing entered Xiajing Academy, achieving the name of a genius, and he is still often talked about by Principal Lu Yun to this day.

In short, being able to enter Xiajing Academy is a supreme honor.

The two found a place to sit on the ground.

The cooldown amulet was used up, so they had to wait for the Dungeon cooldown time to end.

Xia Xue said, "Lin Dork, do you want to try to aim for the top scholar?"
