107: What did that dream say?

The Home of Dungeons' teleportation stone is valid for seven days, and you don't need to spend another thousand points to buy it again if you leave the Home of Dungeons midway.

After several hours of grinding dungeons, it was time for dinner, and Xia Qi, who already owed Luo Zisheng a meal, also took this time to rest.

The two arrived at the cafeteria and got their food.

Xia Qi ate while asking, "Senior, do you know which dungeons between Rank 20-30 give more experience?"

According to Xia Qi's original assumption, the amount of experience in a dungeon was basically determined by its Rank.

The higher the Rank of the dungeon, the more experience you would naturally gain.

However, in reality, this wasn't always the case.

For example, Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge and Bat Cave were both Rank 25 dungeons.

But the experience gained differed by a factor of two.

Moreover, for the Bat Cave dungeon, after Xia Qi familiarized himself with the terrain, he could even speed up the clearing time.

"You really are something, even at dinner you don't forget to ask questions."

Luo Zisheng smiled and put down her chopsticks, finding Xia Qi more and more pleasing to the eye and comfortable to be around.

Such a studious and hardworking junior, plus he was Teacher Xia's son.

Her favorability towards him soared.

"But you've asked the right person. I've been in Shengjing for several years, and I, your senior, know most things about Shengjing."

"Actually, the Bat Cave you were grinding earlier is the experience Holy Land below Rank 30."

"Experience Holy Land," that term was quite interesting.

The bat monsters in Bat Cave weren't actually very strong, but their numbers were enormous, and combined, the experience points were astonishing.

"But, in practical terms, you can't calculate experience points that way."

"If you don't care about the point consumption, the experience gain rate of Bat Cave is actually not as good as other dungeons."

Hmm?

At these words, Xia Qi froze.

Soon, Xia Qi understood what Luo Zisheng meant.

Bat Cave gave high experience because of the large number of monsters.

But similarly, the more monsters there were, the longer it took to clear them.

After all, monsters were distributed throughout the terrain, and even with monster-gathering methods, it was still difficult to clear them quickly.

Calculated this way, the time cost actually increased.

He now cleared Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge in only 25 minutes, but clearing Bat Cave took him an hour and a half.

It seemed like the experience value reached 45%.

But Xia Qi could clear Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge at least three times in the same amount of time.

Once was 22.5%, three times would be 67.5%.

According to this calculation, Xia Qi was actually losing out.

So the reason it was called an experience Holy Land by others was because of points.

Repeatedly grinding a dungeon required constantly offsetting the cooldown time.

Forty points once, four hundred points for ten times.

As you grind dungeons more often, the total amount of points needed will increase indefinitely.

But students' points are limited, and without a continuous source of points, grinding a dungeon like Bat Cave is more cost-effective.

"I see, thank you for the guidance, Senior."

Xia Qi genuinely thanked her.

Luo Zisheng smiled and shook her head, "You're welcome. Even if I didn't tell you these things, you would know them sooner or later."

She could sense that Xia Qi didn't seem to care about points.

Xia Qi emptied his plate, put down his chopsticks, and continued to ask, "Then is there any dungeon that is both quick to clear and gives a lot of experience?"

"Quick to clear, and also gives a lot of experience.... Let me think..."

Luo Zisheng tilted her head and thought for a moment, clearly she hadn't considered this question carefully before.

After thinking for a while, Luo Zisheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "I've got it! You can team up with people and go to the large dungeon, Fallen Land."

In the Home of Dungeons, there are four special dungeons.

Two large dungeons plus two super-large dungeons.

Large dungeons have team requirements, needing forty people to complete.

And super-large dungeons require a hundred people to team up and complete.

Therefore, these two types of dungeons are also called small legion dungeons and large legion dungeons.

Such names fit the current state of these two special dungeons, and at the same time, a new profession was born: leading people.

Many high-Rank students from the academy form teams to lead people through small legion dungeons.

Those being led don't need to do anything, they just need to pay a certain amount of points.

In these large dungeons, there are many monsters and high experience, so even when teamed up, it's much better than many other dungeons, and leveling up is very fast.

Luo Zisheng continued, "To prevent students from being overly ambitious, the school has very strict restrictions on dungeon Ranks, and only large dungeons are an exception."

"The Fallen Land dungeon is a Rank 30 large dungeon, but you can enter it from Rank 25, and the highest Rank it can reach is 35, which is a 10-Rank span."

"When you reach Rank 25, you can look for a team in the teaming center. If you pay some points, many teams will be happy to level you up."

Xia Qi nodded gratefully. If Luo Zisheng hadn't explained so much to him, he might have had to spend a lot of effort figuring these things out.

Luo Zisheng smiled and said, "It's nothing. You treated me to dinner, didn't you? This Vicious Beast meal cost you dozens of points."

"It's getting late, I'll be going now. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions in the future."

Luo Zisheng shook her phone, then left the cafeteria.

Xia Qi checked the time. He had participated in the War God Academy Trial in the morning, and now he had grinded dungeons for several hours. It was already seven in the evening.

"I'll grind Bat Cave two more times, then rest."

Thinking this, Xia Qi returned to the Home of Dungeons and grinded Bat Cave twice more.

These two times, he still didn't break the clear record.

But he was close. Xia Qi had already shortened the time to one hour and 15 minutes, needing only a few more minutes to break the record.

It should be no problem tomorrow. After three grinds, he had completely understood the complex maze structure.

"My experience is now 94.5% at Rank 21. Just one more grind tomorrow to reach Rank 22."

After a full day of combat, he had to admit, he was a bit tired.

Although after leveling up, all his attributes returned to Peak.

And his consumed energy was replenished.

But the mental fatigue from such a long period of combat was impossible to erase.

Xia Qi checked the time, nine-thirty. He decided to go back and rest, and continue grinding tomorrow.

He activated the teleportation stone and left the Home of Dungeons.

Shengjing was quiet at night. Xia Qi walked back to his dormitory, his mind full of thoughts.

He had only been in Shengjing for two days, and life was indeed much more exciting than during his high school days.

His only regret was not seeing Xia Dongliu and Xu Nian.

"Void Battlefield..."

Xia Qi looked up at the starry night sky. This was a level he couldn't reach yet.

But even Xia Dongliu and the others said in their letters that they might not return, so what could he do?

"And that dream..."

What did it say last night, anyway?
