99: Deicide Academy, the home of dungeons?
Returning to dormitory 808, as Xia Qi approached the door, he saw Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu standing there.
"Have you two been waiting here long?"
Xia Qi opened the dormitory door and invited the two girls inside.
"Not long, we just walked around a bit and thought we'd check if you were in."
When Yun Qingyue saw Xia Qi return, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards.
"Next time you can message me, and I'll come over when I see it."
Xia Qi nodded, and the three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Yu Qiu sank into the soft sofa and said enviously, "It's so much more comfortable here. Our four-person room is nowhere near as nice."
"Yeah, I'm not used to living there either, sigh... who told us we don't have many points?"
Yun Qingyue also pouted, looking at Xia Qi with anticipation.
"No, you two aren't seriously thinking of moving in, are you?"
Xia Qi felt a bit creeped out by the two girls' gazes. No wonder Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu were waiting for him at the door; they had something to ask of him.
"Brother Xia Qi, your place is so spacious, three floors, so many rooms, just let us move in."
"Look, we're two girls, we're clean, and we can even clean for you."
"If you're hungry, Yu Qiu can cook, and the three of us can eat together..."
"Mm... Mm?"
Xia Qi subconsciously nodded, but the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.
"I think you're eyeing my Starry Sky Room, aren't you?"
As soon as he said this, Yun Qingyue's face immediately turned red.
Xia Qi had really hit the nail on the head.
She really liked that Starry Sky Room, where she could watch the stars at night.
Yu Qiu said very little throughout, but judging by her attitude, it seemed she also wanted to move in.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Qi readily agreed.
"Alright, then you two can live on the second floor, and I'll live on the first floor."
Upon hearing this, the two girls immediately showed expressions of successful negotiation.
"But it's agreed, you two must keep the place clean, or I'll ask you to leave at any time."
Since they were moving into Xia Qi's dormitory, they had to abide by Xia Qi's rules.
Cleanliness was the most basic requirement.
Otherwise, after coming back half-dead from a dungeon, seeing a messy home would ruin anyone's mood.
On this point, the two girls guaranteed with a pat on their chests that they would absolutely keep the dormitory clean and tidy.
Seeing this, Xia Qi also copied a door card for the two of them, allowing them to unlock the door with their phones.
This way, they could come and go as they pleased even when he wasn't home.
Yun Qingyue dutifully poured water for the three of them, then took out some snacks from her storage space.
The three of them were all students from Xijiang Province, so they had more to talk about when they gathered.
They chatted for half an hour.
Xia Qi briefly explained the general situation of today's Trial dungeon, including the situation in War God Academy, and the two girls gained a lot from listening.
"Wow, Brother Xia Qi, you're really amazing. Even the professionals from Sakura Country were defeated by you."
"This Trial sounds really difficult, but I didn't expect you, Xia Qi, to clear it so easily."
Xia Qi was quite pleased with the two girls' compliments. Thinking about it, it was good that they moved in.
At least it wouldn't be so lonely.
"By the way, there's an assassin named Yu Zhen in Xiao Qianqian's team. His strength is considerable. I wonder if he's related to you."
Xia Qi looked at Yu Qiu and asked curiously.
"Yu Zhen... he's my brother."
Yu Qiu immediately explained upon hearing this.
"He's your brother? Your appearances are quite different."
At first, Xia Qi thought Yu Zhen and Yu Qiu should be relatives, both from an assassin family, and there shouldn't be many people named Yu.
But he didn't expect him to be Yu Qiu's brother, her biological brother at that.
"Yes, we are half-siblings."
Yu Qiu spoke simply, and it seemed her relationship with Yu Zhen wasn't very good; they were both in Shengjing but didn't contact each other.
Xia Qi nodded and didn't continue the conversation.
Not long after, Xia Qi's phone vibrated; it was a message from General Hu.
"Regarding the entry requirements for the top academy - Godslayer Academy."
"Entry Rank, minimum Rank 30."
Godslayer Academy was the top academy at Shengjing University, and General Hu naturally hoped Xia Qi could enter.
However, Xia Qi was shocked by this first requirement.
"Only Rank 30 can enter? How long will that take to grind?"
Xiao Qianqian had been at the school for a year and was only Rank 29. It was clear that even with fast leveling, reaching Rank 30 would take half a year.
After reading the Rank requirement, Xia Qi continued to look at the second requirement.
"Clear the Rank 30 dungeon [Void Realm Frontline], difficulty requirement Infernal Level."
This difficulty was also not small.
After dungeons reached Rank 30, in addition to the usual four Ranks, there was a fifth Rank: Infernal Level.
Infernal Level difficulty was much harder than nightmare difficulty.
To clear a Infernal Level difficulty dungeon, there were comprehensive requirements for profession, Talent, Rank, equipment, skills, and so on.
Ordinary teams couldn't clear it at all.
Only elite among elite teams could clear it.
"When I reach Rank 30, maybe I can try soloing Purgatory difficulty."
Xia Qi didn't think too much about it; he had no intention of forming a team.
If he couldn't solo with hundreds of Talents, he might as well be remade.
"The third requirement: academic points reach 1000."
Academic points were obtained based on contribution.
Only by completing tasks assigned by the academy or school, or by doing things that contributed to the school, could one earn academic points.
For instance, from this Fairy Island Trial, he would earn some academic points.
As for how many, it was currently unknown.
Academic points were a necessity for entering top academies, which was why Xiao Qianqian and the others were so eager to obtain them.
There were three requirements in total, which didn't seem like many.
But no requirement was easy to achieve.
Because of this, students who could enter top academies were all Geniuses among Geniuses.
After noting down this information, Xia Qi ended the conversation and told the two girls to go pack their things.
He planned to go to the Home of Dungeons first.
Leveling up had become the most important thing now.
He crushed the special teleportation stone in his hand.
A clamor of noise reached his ears, and the Home of Dungeons was exceptionally lively.
"Blood Moon Forest dungeon, normal difficulty, looking for a Rank 25 healer, preferably with crowd control immunity skills."
"Giant Beast Frontline dungeon, nightmare difficulty, looking for an elite mage, Rank 25-30 best, requires fire-type Talent or mastery of fire-type skills."
"Collapsed Ruins, difficult level, looking for a pure tank warrior or knight, requires silver set equipment, knows taunt, masters shield skills."
.....
Xia Qi looked at the market-like environment and felt as if he had returned to the wilderness of Jiangcheng.
A month ago, the situation he encountered in the wilderness dungeon was extremely similar to the present.
Is this the Home of Dungeons?
Looking at the noisy scene, Xia Qi even wondered if this was really inside Shengjing University.
Had he come to the wrong place?
