110: Hand it in, hand it in!
“The dungeon [Mossy Mire] currently has 810 entrants, including 261 Tier 2 ability users, 398 Tier 3 ability users, 132 Tier 4 ability users, and 19 Tier 5 ability users.”
“According to last month’s statistics, this dungeon caused the deaths of 1 Tier 5 ability user, 8 Tier 4 ability users, 37 Tier 3 ability users, and 48 Tier 2 ability users…”
Teacher Wang projected the table onto the screen at the front, and the cold numbers, like weights, gradually pressed down on the students’ hearts.
“Do you think that with the efforts of official Raiders, a death rate of 11.60% is already very low?”
“However, this is just data from one dungeon.”
“In the Endless Game, there are thousands of dungeons. Perhaps while we are having class, several new dungeons have appeared, requiring a large number of Raiders to explore step by step, taking risks…”
“Furthermore, this data is only a rough estimate; the actual number should be more than this.”
Teacher Wang sighed again, “I know that most of the people in this classroom are Tier 3 and Tier 4 ability users, and there are a few Tier 5 ability users. And my purpose in saying all this is not to make you establish a useless, ridiculous hierarchy of contempt, but to hope that everyone understands what it means to act within one's means!”
“I hope that low-tier ability users do not aim too high and become complacent after clearing a dungeon. I also hope that high-tier ability users do not become arrogant and make a mistake that they will regret for a thousand years.”
“The novice trials are just the five simplest dungeons. If you continue to use your past experiences to judge future dungeons… I can only sincerely hope that this will not be our last meeting.”
Teacher Wang looked around, seeing the solemn expressions of the students, and felt somewhat satisfied.
She wasn't trying to dampen the students' self-confidence, but mainly because these children had successfully cleared dungeons and just started school, brimming with all sorts of excitement.
It's good for young people to be brave in exploration and struggle, but entering a dungeon with an unstable mindset is definitely not a good thing.
She had to rein them in, make them settle down, and proceed cautiously with a serious attitude, so that they could go far.
“Hmm, the male student in the second to last row, please stand up.”
Teacher Wang planned to call on a few more people, let them share their experiences, and create some resonance, which would make it easier to educate them.
She looked up and immediately saw a handsome face no less striking than Daniel Wu's.
A handsome guy is like a firefly in the dark, so conspicuous.
“Student, please introduce yourself, and which dungeons have you cleared so far?” Teacher Wang asked with a smile.
Well, seeing many female students turn their heads to listen attentively, Teacher Wang was even more satisfied.
The handsome student honestly replied, “My name is Cheng Zhen, and currently…”
“Very good, please sit down!” Teacher Wang interrupted decisively.
Cheng Zhen: “?”
Teacher Wang’s expression didn't change: “Alright, now let’s continue discussing skill tiers!”
The others: “???”
Did I miss something? How did we skip a section?
Teacher Wang appeared calm on the surface, but her mind was like a thousand huskies running wild.
How did she call on this Rookie monster!
He rushed to rank 200 with just three dungeons, suppressing how many Tier 5s with his Tier 1 status?
If he finished speaking, I wouldn’t be able to teach this class!
Fortunately, Teacher Wang was also an experienced veteran teacher, calmly pulling back from the brink. It just left many students confused, wondering if the teacher had somehow used a skill that skipped dialogue.
“Now, let’s talk about skill classification, which is to say, what criteria do the experts and masters use to judge skill tiers.”
Hearing this, Cheng Zhen also looked over curiously, wanting to see what this evaluation standard was all about.
Teacher Wang slid the PPT, revealing the next page of content—
“Tier 1 Skill: Provides no, or only minimal, assistance in clearing dungeons. And has no lethality or destructive power in the real world.”
Cheng Zhen suddenly understood. If this was the case, the experts hadn’t wronged him.
Based solely on the skill description, his skill indeed met the Tier 1 standard. It’s just that others didn’t know he had the Tomato Member cheat!
Teacher Wang’s peripheral vision also watched Cheng Zhen, feeling a surge of emotion. It seemed she also had the same misunderstanding as the dean of the Liberal Arts College, thinking that Cheng Zhen had cleared the dungeons purely by intellect.
She couldn't help but feel a bit of pity; if Cheng Zhen had a powerful skill, perhaps…
Never mind, there are no 'ifs' in this world. Let's continue with the lecture.
“Tier 2 Skill: A skill that can play an important role in specific dungeon environments. Has minor lethality and destructive power in the real world.”
Green Hair and Lizi belonged to this type, possessing special attack effects when dealing with specific BOSSes. If they were to swap dungeons, their skills would be completely useless.
“Tier 3 Skill: A skill that can function in most situations. Has low-risk lethality and destructive power in the real world.”
Jacket Uncle was like this; he could heal his teammates wherever he went. It’s just that when he worked part-time at the hospital, he tended to cause mental harm to patients…
“Tier 4 Skill: A skill that can effectively damage enemy NPCs, monsters, and BOSSes in various dungeons. Has medium-risk lethality and destructive power in the real world.”
Baldy’s [I Throw Your Lung] was such a skill; he would activate his lung-locking cheat and poke anyone’s windpipe he caught. Even if it was a bit of a grind, he could wear down some BOSSes to death.
“Tier 5 Skill: A skill capable of severely wounding or killing enemy NPCs, monsters, and BOSSes. Has high-risk lethality and destructive power in the real world.”
Perhaps because the number of Tier 5 ability users was relatively small, Cheng Zhen had not yet encountered such powerful ability users.
He looked at the students around him; although he had no intention of forming a team, he was quite curious.
“Currently, skill evaluation levels range from Tier 1 to Tier 7.”
Teacher Wang’s class continued. She looked at the students, suddenly revealing a somewhat meaningful smile:
“Students, you probably haven’t seen Tier 6 and Tier 7 ability users, have you?”
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes seemingly asking: Haven’t seen them, have you?
“It’s normal not to have seen them.”
Teacher Wang said faintly, “Because when experts discover such ability users, they will report it immediately.”
“Then, they will be handed over to the state!”
