34: Chapter 34: Awarding Dungeon Rewards

First place, Li Mumu's Team, 53,316 points.

Second place, Four Great Scholars' Team, 48,521 points.

Third place, Li Youqian's Team, 45,136 points.

Fourth place, Zhang Qingguo's Team, 25,123 points.

...

First place, Li Mumu's Team.

We got it!!!

Seeing the new rankings, Dongfang Xue was so excited that she immediately gripped Li Mumu's hand, completely losing her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

As for Wang Baobao and Liu Lin, they were also so excited that they embraced each other and wept.

Li Mumu, however, was much more calm, thinking to himself, 'Now that I'm rich, that 5 million reward is just pocket change!'

The examiner waited for everyone to finish celebrating before proceeding to announce the rewards for the top ten.

"The first-place team will receive four designated Silver Skill Books, enjoy first-tier university treatment, and five million Crystal Coins."

As soon as this was said, another commotion broke out on the scene.

"Wow~~ If I hadn't heard the rewards, I would've forgotten—the first-place team only has 4 people?"

"Did someone die in the dungeon?"

"No way, look at your phones, there's a new scoop."

Following the reminder, everyone took out their phones to watch the Douyin APP hot list.

The title ranked forty-first on the hot list was:

《On the Difference Between Mao Renfeng and a Street Rat!》

The popularity exceeded 5 million, likes broke 50,000, and comments surpassed 20,000.

The video was a funny clip edited and posted by Zhu Xiaoshan, with the original footage coming from Liu Lin and Zhu Xiaoshan's filming.

The video content mainly analyzed the character of Mao Renfeng versus a rat from various aspects, finally concluding that the rat won by a landslide.

After all, a rat is only hated by everyone, while Mao Renfeng had clearly transcended that, achieving...

Universal outrage!!!

Through this video, everyone understood why Li Mumu's Team only had four members.

Because a piece of scum had quit the team.

"Where's Mao Renfeng? Where is he? He almost got us killed, where is he?"

"Over here!!!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Mao Renfeng and his parents weeping together, thankful that Mao Renfeng had survived.

"Beat him!!!"

A Fighter waved his hand, and over a dozen Fighters behind him immediately set upon him with fists and kicks.

Mao Renfeng's parents were completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?!

What happened to my child?

Is this school bullying?

Mao Renfeng's father couldn't stand it and rushed out to pull away the people hitting his kid.

"What are you doing? Why are you hitting Xiao Feng? I'm going to sue you! Where's the examiner? Where's the security?!"

The security personnel on site acted as if they saw nothing.

Heh!

This kid is the culprit who almost killed Chen Junlin, and he wants us to save him?

No way!!!

Seeing that her husband's intervention was useless, Mao Renfeng's mother sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

"Oh my heavens, these beasts, they have no humanity, they're beating my baby!"

One of the Fighters who had just landed a punch said coldly, "Auntie, please watch the video and see what your son did!"

Mao Renfeng's mother didn't care about any of that; she rolled around on the ground and screamed, "He's... just a child! How can you bully a child!"

Everyone was speechless.

Other parents heard this and walked up one after another, cold smiles appearing on their faces. "He's just a child? Well, you aren't, are you?"

Mao Renfeng's mother was stunned for a moment and said, "Uh~~ what do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean? Children's matters are solved by children, and adults' matters, of course, are solved by adults. Beat them for me!!!"

As soon as the words fell.

A group of parents started fighting with Mao Renfeng's parents. Calling it a 'fight' was being polite; it was actually a group beating!

The examiner saw this scene but ignored it, proceeding to announce the second-place rewards.

"The second-place team will receive five Silver Skill Books and 10 million in cash. However, considering four of them are Beast Tamers and don't need skill books, those have been replaced with four top-quality Gamble Eggs."

Boom~~

At these words, Li Mumu's mind went blank, and he stood there in a daze, staring foolishly at the examiner.

Wait!

The second-place prize money is 10 million? That's 5 million more than first place?

Heh...

I must have been in the dungeon for too long and started hallucinating. The second-place reward must be 1 million; I definitely heard an extra zero.

Hahaha... it must be so!

"The third-place team will receive 20 million in cash to be used for daily supplies..."

"The fourth-place team will receive 10 million in cash to be used for daily supplies..."

Li Mumu: (ㅍ_ㅍ)

Motherfucker, so first place gets the least money, is that it?

"I object!!!"

"Why do the second, third, and fourth-place teams get more cash rewards than first place?"

"Is this scientific?!"

"This is completely unscientific!"

As soon as Li Mumu said this, he immediately attracted everyone's gaze.

The examiner was stunned for a moment, then explained, "Young friend, there's a misunderstanding. The best reward for first place is the first-tier university treatment, which is far more valuable than 20 million, because..."

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening! All I know is that 20 million is greater than 5 million, and 10 million is also greater than 5 million," Li Mumu said with tears streaming down his face.

What do you mean 'far more valuable than 20 million'? That's clearly just nonsense to fool people. If I had known, I would've sold the points to Li Youqian. Why fight for first place? Fighting for third is the way to go.

Rigged!

It's absolutely rigged!

Of course, while Li Mumu's face was unsightly, his three teammates—Liu Lin, Wang Baobao, and Dongfang Xue—showed the opposite reaction, cheering and embracing each other in joy.

Clearly, in their eyes, first-tier treatment was far more precious than 20 million.

But Li Mumu didn't understand. Thinking they had gone crazy, he pointed at them and said to the examiner, "See that? You've already driven these flowers of the motherland insane. Can your conscience bear it?"

"Waaa..."

The examiner's face was covered in dark lines, cursing in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that Li Mumu was the hero who saved everyone, he would have definitely kicked him a few times to vent his frustration.

At this time, a familiar figure came up to Li Mumu.

It was Li Youqian. He looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "Brother, do you really not know what first-tier university treatment is for?"

"What use is that thing? How can it be more practical than 5 million?"

Li Mumu indeed didn't know what the hell that thing was for. He only knew that if 20 million were split, each person could get 5 million. With 5 million, one could do many things, while some 'first-tier treatment' was just an empty title.

Li Youqian: "..."

"Sigh!"

After thinking for a long time, Li Youqian shook his head and sighed.

"You really don't know how lucky you are. first-tier treatment gives you priority access to university resources."

"For example, after you reach Silver rank, the school will prioritize providing you with the corresponding skill books, weapons, and equipment, and it's all free. That alone is not something 5 million can compare to."

"Furthermore, with first-tier treatment, you get a 50% discount at all official or brand stores in the Five Cities..."

Hearing this, Li Mumu's eyes lit up, and he became interested.

"50% off? Then if I turn around and sell it for 30% off, wouldn't I make a fortune?"

Li Youqian slapped his forehead and complained, "Brother, are you obsessed with money? You actually want to exploit the government? Let's put it this way: no matter the tier of treatment, the discounted money is settled by the government. If you're caught reselling resources, your treatment status will be revoked immediately."

Li Mumu's face immediately fell, and he looked up at the sky with a long sigh.

"As I thought, I still prefer the 5 million!"
