136: Boss, I kneel down to you!
"Xia Qi, I'm kneeling before you. Can you please take me with you?"
"Xia Qi, forgive my ignorance. I used to look down on ordinary students. I apologize to you. Now I only have one request: please take me!"
"Really, God Xia, please take us. Save the children."
"Big Shot, if you're willing to take me, from now on, you'll be my undisputed boss."
"..."
For a time, many students surrounded Xia Qi, pleading bitterly.
They only wanted Xia Qi to take them into the dungeon.
Large dungeons like Fallen Land were not easy to form teams for, usually only elite teams composed of students from various academies would attempt them.
Under normal circumstances, unless it was for breaking a record or a special requirement, no one really wanted to clear this dungeon.
It was simply time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often unrewarding.
The Knight Order of West Wind Academy was an example of this.
They painstakingly gathered forty people, fully equipped and geared, only for Xia Qi to snatch the fruit of their record-breaking efforts.
Not only did they suffer losses in the dungeon, but they also lost all face.
Seeing so many people almost kneeling before him, Xia Qi also found it a bit strange, "Is it that serious?"
"Big Shot, don't you know? Many academies have academy missions, and Fallen Land is one of them."
"That's right, Big Shot. The academy also has an elimination system. To avoid being eliminated, you have to prove yourself, and clearing Fallen Land is one of the missions."
"There are other ways to avoid elimination, such as using academic credits for deduction. 50 academic credits can avoid the fate of being eliminated, but that's fifty academic credits!"
"Big Shot, please help us. It wasn't easy to get into the academy through various exams, I don't want to be eliminated!"
"We don't need anything, as long as we can clear the dungeon."
"Yes, yes, yes, we don't need experience or Materials. Big Shot, you can take all of them."
The people surrounding Xia Qi spoke in a flurry, and only then did Xia Qi understand.
Shengjing University has always adopted a survival of the fittest rule. It's not that once you enter the academy, you're guaranteed to stay.
Some students might have just barely met the academy's threshold, but with no hope of advancement, they only sought to avoid elimination.
Otherwise, to re-enter the academy, one would have to go through ordinary student exams, academy exams, and so on.
This was also a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
Being able to enter the academy meant enjoying much better resources and conditions than ordinary students.
Even the ways to earn points were far more numerous than for ordinary students.
This was also why there were always conflicts between the academy faction and ordinary students.
The two represented the demands and conflicts of two different classes.
"By the way, Big Shot Xia Qi, you're so strong, how could you not know about the academy's elimination system?"
Some people who didn't know Xia Qi well asked.
"I'm a freshman, it's only been a few days since the college entrance exam..."
Xia Qi explained calmly.
As soon as these words came out.
Both those who knew and those who didn't were shocked again.
No matter how many times these words were heard, they were always astonishing.
Who would have thought that a Big Shot who could solo large dungeons...
Was actually a freshman who had just entered Shengjing a few days ago.
"But I've already entered War God Academy, and haven't reported yet."
Saying that, Xia Qi pulled out the badge representing War God Academy.
Many people's eyes turned red with envy.
War God Academy!
This was one of the three most powerful academies besides the top academies.
Besides Dean Cheng Long, War God Hu Jun would also occasionally come in person to provide guidance.
Indeed, comparing people was enough to make one furious.
Fortunately, everyone could accept it. After all, Xia Qi was so amazing; if he couldn't get into War God Academy, no one else could imagine who could.
A true talent will shine anywhere!
Amidst their shock, everyone began to plead again.
"Big Shot, you're now part of the academy faction, so we're practically family. Please take me."
"Yes, yes, yes, we can give you points. We don't need anything else, as long as you can take us."
"A thousand points, please take me. I don't need anything else."
"I'll also offer a thousand, as long as I can clear the dungeon, otherwise I'll be eliminated by the end of the month."
Facing these pleading students, Xia Qi also felt a bit soft-hearted.
A thousand points was not a small amount, but it wasn't a lot either.
These people also knew how difficult it was to clear Fallen Land, and a thousand points could be said to be a reasonable price.
Xia Qi calculated that soloing a dungeon cost five hundred for the ticket and two thousand for the cooldown, totaling two thousand five hundred points.
He currently had a full sixty-five thousand points in hand.
It seemed it wouldn't last long before being spent.
Points, this kind of thing, had too many uses in Shengjing.
Some precious Materials could be purchased with points.
There were also many auxiliary items, Qi Cultivate rooms, and so on.
Naturally, the more points, the better.
Who would complain about having too much money? It was the same principle.
"One thousand points per person, taking thirty-nine people, that's thirty-nine thousand points."
Calculated this way, taking them through a dungeon didn't seem like much of a loss.
After all, experience and Materials all belonged to him.
"Alright, I can take you, but I have one condition."
After careful consideration, Xia Qi agreed.
Seeing the Big Shot agree, everyone showed joy.
"Big Shot, please say it, as long as we can do it."
"Whatever Big Shot says, we'll listen to you."
Xia Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, facing these fanatical students, and continued, "After entering the dungeon, do not actively attack monsters, do not do anything, everything listen to my command. Any problems?"
"No problem, no problem!"
As soon as these words came out, who could have a problem with that?
Listening to commands was just a matter of having a brain, wasn't it?
However, Xia Qi was also being cautious. He could take people to clear dungeons, but he would never take those who didn't listen to commands.
There were always some who were self-righteous, thinking they were helping, but actually hindering.
Xia Qi did not want such a situation to occur when clearing the dungeon, where he would have to painstakingly save people like a nanny.
"Alright, no problem then. Which of you want to clear the dungeon!"
As his voice fell, at least one-third of the onlookers in the Home of Dungeons raised their hands.
"Me, me, me!"
"Don't push, don't rush, me too, Big Shot."
"..."
For a time, the scene was bustling, everyone scrambling to get to the front.
This wave, at least over two hundred people wanted Xia Qi to lead them.
"Quiet, one by one."
Xia Qi frowned and shouted.
Soon, the crowd quieted down and, under Xia Qi's gaze, obediently lined up.
Once the first batch of teams was organized.
Xia Qi also received the thirty-nine thousand points worth of Materials from the student transactions.
Because Shengjing prohibited private point transactions, the students gave equivalent value Materials that could be exchanged for points.
However, even so.
Xia Qi made a huge profit.
This method of earning points was simply unprecedented!
