Hannah's arrival was timely, as Morintis happened to have a question for her.
"Do you know which dungeons give higher experience?"
He originally thought the amount of experience in a dungeon was basically determined by its level.
The higher the dungeon level, the more experience it would naturally provide.
But now it seemed that wasn't necessarily the case.
The Level 17 Mutated Forest Dungeon and the Level 20 Spider Lair Dungeon.
With only a three-level difference, the experience gained was nearly three times different.
Moreover, once he became more proficient, the efficiency of his next run could increase even further.
Hannah didn't find this strange at all.
"The Spider Lair dungeon is also called the Experience Paradise.
Among dungeons below Level 25, it has the most experience."
Experience Paradise – that term was interesting.
The number of monsters was enormous.
Each Lesser Spider didn't give much experience, but added together, it was astonishing.
Hannah suddenly added, "But in my opinion, it actually can't be calculated that way.
If you don't care about Point consumption, the Spider Lair's experience isn't actually that high."
Oh?
Morintis thought for a moment and understood what Hannah meant.
The high experience was based on the large number of monsters.
But finding and clearing the monsters took time.
This time, he spent 1 hour and 32 minutes to clear the dungeon.
It seemed the experience was very high, nearly three times that of the Mutated Forest dungeon.
But he could clear the Mutated Forest in just over 20 minutes if he went quickly.
The time it took to run the Spider Lair once was enough for him to run the Mutated Forest four times.
In the same amount of time, the experience gained from the Mutated Forest would actually be higher.
So why did others call the Spider Lair an Experience Paradise?
The key was Points.
Repeatedly running the same dungeon required constantly paying to eliminate the Cooldown.
For a low-level dungeon like this, the entry ticket was only 10 Points, but eliminating the Cooldown cost 40 Points.
Therefore, the Spider Lair became the Experience Paradise in people's mouths.
"Thank you," Morintis said sincerely to Hannah.
Hannah waved her hand.
"No need to thank me.
You would have found out sooner or later."
She could tell that Morintis didn't seem too concerned about Points.
Morintis asked, "Then, are there any dungeons that are fast to clear and also give high experience?"
"Fast to clear, and high experience...
Hmm..."
Hannah tilted her head in thought.
Morintis felt such dungeons were probably few.
Hannah thought for a while, then her eyes lit up.
"You could team up with others for the Tyrant's Desert Large-Scale Dungeon."
In the Dungeon Hall, there were three special dungeons.
Two Large-Scale Dungeons plus one Super-Large-Scale Dungeon.
Normally, a Large-Scale Dungeon required a 40-person team to complete.
The Super-Large-Scale Dungeon required over a hundred people.
If equipment was excellent and levels were sufficient, the number for a Large-Scale Dungeon could be reduced to 30, or even 25 people.
This gave birth to a new business: carrying.
Many students formed teams to carry others through Large-Scale Dungeons, helping them level up.
Those being carried didn't need to lift a finger; they just needed to pay a certain amount of Points.
Large-Scale Dungeons had many monsters and high experience, making leveling up very fast.
Hannah continued, "The Academy is strict about dungeon level requirements to prevent us from getting into danger, but Large-Scale Dungeons are an exception."
"The Tyrant's Desert dungeon is a Level 25 Large-Scale Dungeon.
You can enter starting from Level 20, up to a maximum of Level 30 – a full 10-level range."
"When you reach Level 20, you can look for teams in the Party Center.
Pay the Points, and someone will take you leveling."
"After all, the higher the dungeon level, the more difficult and dangerous soloing becomes."
Morintis could understand her good intentions and thanked her softly.
Hannah giggled.
"It's fine, it's fine.
I'm getting paid Points anyway."
"It's getting late, I should go back and rest now."
"If you have any questions later, you can ask me again."
She used a Teleport Stone and left the Dungeon Hall.
It was already late.
Morintis checked the time; it was 9 PM.
After a whole day of fighting, he had to admit he was somewhat tired.
Even though he had just leveled up, restoring all his attributes to their peak,
and any injuries would be healed upon leveling up,
the mental fatigue from prolonged combat couldn't be erased.
Another point: the Skeleton Warriors were all injured in the previous battle.
Although not seriously injured, they needed some time to fully recover.
Morintis looked at the dungeon and decided to come back tomorrow.
He activated his Teleport Stone and left the Dungeon Hall.
The Academy was quiet at night.
Morintis walked back to his dorm.
He hadn't expected so much to happen in just two days since arriving at the Academy.
He had to admit, this life was much more exciting than high school.
In high school, they learned basic world knowledge; most knowledge about post-class change wasn't taught, and he couldn't find extra materials.
Because the school didn't know what type of class you would change into.
Whether it would be Combat, Support, or Life type.
So they only taught some basic, universal knowledge.
Only after changing into a Combat class would one be exposed to more knowledge specific to Combat classes.
It was the same for Support classes.
Some Support classes like Prophet, Elven Elder, etc.
, also participated in combat.
But classes like Alchemists, Potion Masters might never enter a dungeon in their lifetime.
Knowledge was strictly stratified.
In a few days, individuals accepted by the Xiajing Academy from all over would arrive.
Then the school would arrange unified lectures, and all the necessary knowledge would be taught.
Morintis wasn't in a hurry now.
Returning to his dorm, he took some food to simply fill his stomach.
Before the trial, Isla Ning had bought a lot of food, and some of it was with him.
...
He summoned 4 Skeletons and sent them into the summoning space.
The number of Skeleton Warriors reached 116.
A moment later, faint, rhythmic breathing sounds could be heard as Morintis entered a meditative state.
In a hidden space within Xiajing Academy.
Three people sat facing each other, drinking.
Byron wore a smile.
"So, what do you think?
I told you the kid was good, didn't I?"
Alaric Meng sat opposite him.
"Soloed the Mermaid's Tear dungeon three times, got his hands on all three Mermaid's Tears this year.
Slapped the people from the Sakura Nation hard in the face, stomped on the Onmyoji, and also made those guys from the Latent Dragon College see how poor they are."
"Don't think they're so great just because the Academy trains them, looking down on the National Top Scorer.
They finally got their faces slapped this time."
Alaric Meng had a mischievous smile, glancing at Hongshan beside him as he spoke.
Hongshan was the Dean of the Latent Dragon College.
His students got their faces slapped, so naturally, as Dean, he wasn't pleased.
He couldn't help but snort, ignoring Alaric Meng.
Byron chuckled beside him.
"Actually, when I pushed him into this trial, I just wanted to see the kid's capabilities.
The kid talks too little, can't squeeze a loud word out of him in half a day."
...
Alaric Meng took a sip of tea.
"What is his talent?
Did you ask clearly?"
"I asked.
It's Amplification.
But I didn't ask specifically how much it amplifies.
Probably not small."
Alaric Meng looked at him with a strange glint in his eyes.
Byron took a sip of tea.
"It's his secret.
It's not good to ask.
Did I ever ask about your talent?
Would you be happy if someone pried into the details of yours?"
If someone pried into the details of his own talent, Alaric Meng felt he would lose his temper.
"True, then we won't ask.
The Amplification talent is indeed good; it has appeared before."
"If his skills are strong enough, plus this talent, his future is promising."
Byron smiled.
"I also think this kid has a promising future.
And his sister is already a member of the Genesis Academy now, and she's even favored by the old man, receiving full cultivation."
Hisss!
Even someone as composed as Alaric Meng drew a sharp breath.
He wasn't surprised that she could enter the Genesis Academy.
Although everyone there was a prodigy, it didn't mean every one of them would ultimately become a great figure.
But to be favored by the old man...
That was completely different.
Byron slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.
"Quite a shock, right?
I was shocked too back then."
Alaric Meng asked, "Do you know the reason?"
Byron shook his head.
"To be favored by the old man, she must have exceptional qualities.
You know how high the old man's standards are.
Would he fancy an ordinary person?"
"It seems our human race will soon have two more new stars."
Alaric Meng drank his tea, saying slowly.
Hongshan, who hadn't spoken the entire time, suddenly spoke.
"One new star, and one lone wolf."
Morintis talked too little, rarely communicating with others.
He really did seem like a lone wolf.
