The ranking list is open, cousin Xu Yunyun

June 3rd, Jiang City.

It was nearing noon.

Many people gathered around the central crystal in the Dungeon Hall, waiting for the Rookie Level Leaderboard to be released.

“Look, the Deputy City Lord’s wife is here. Who’s that young man beside her?”

“You don’t know him? That’s Xu Fu, last year’s second-place martial arts exam taker in Jiang City.”

“So it’s him! Xu Fu, the Rare Class Ghost Swordsman!”

“It’s said that he joined one of the top ten guilds in the country at Modu University. Why is he back now when summer vacation hasn’t even started?”

“Guild missions, I guess. Recently, many guilds have been scouting for promising talents this year, and the Deputy City Lord’s daughter awakened a Hidden Class this year…”

Amidst the clamor, it was already twelve o’clock noon.

The ten-meter-tall central crystal suddenly burst forth with dazzling blue light.

Immediately after, lines of small text spread from the middle of the crystal screen to both sides.

Forty-ninth place: Level 8 Rare Class, Dark Lancer, Zhao…

Fiftieth place: Level 8 Rare Class, Shadow Dancer, Cai Kun.

Fifty-first place: Level 8 Rare Class, Flowing Wind Knight…

“The competition is fiercer this year than before. In previous years, around the fiftieth place would be Level 7.”

“I just don’t know how many people with Rare Classes or higher there are this year. Last year, I remember there were ninety-one.”

“Just keep looking down. There’s no suspense at the top. Jiang City produced three Hidden Classes this year, so the top three are most likely them.”

The rankings continued to unfold.

Soon, the top part reached the top ten, and the bottom part reached ninety-first place.

Ninety-first place: Level 8 Rare Class, Alchemist, Chen Jing.

Ninety-second place: Level 7 Rare Class, Raging Thunder Knight, Liang Yu.

Whoosh—

When the ninety-second place was revealed, the scene began to liven up.

From this point downwards, it basically determined whether this year was stronger than last year.

Now, there was already one more Rare Class than last year.

The rankings were still continuing.

Some people focused on the top, others on the bottom.

At this moment, on an open-air balcony not far away, there was an exquisite tea table and comfortable rattan chairs.

Several people, dressed in extraordinary attire, sat or reclined, gathered together and conversed.

“Congratulations, Old Chen.”

One of the middle-aged men raised his teacup, blew on the hot steam, and said with a smile.

“It’s truly not easy for Binjiang No. 1 Middle School to have a student enter the top ten city-wide for the first time.”

“Get lost, you’re not wishing me well. A Hidden Class at seventh place, what’s there to congratulate?”

The person called Old Chen glared at him, responding unhappily.

“Tsk tsk, an auxiliary Hidden Class, and you’re still not satisfied with seventh place.” The middle-aged man shook his head, then changed the subject.

“By the way, did Lin Xuan, that student from your school who always ranked first in the city-wide joint exams, really sign up for the martial arts exam?”

“Sigh, how could it be fake? I was originally hoping he’d bring honor to the school with his academic exam results this year, but that kid…”

“Huh? That kid actually made it into the top hundred?”

At this time, many of the Awakened near the central crystal showed surprised expressions.

The situation with Awakened in Jiang City this year seemed much better than in previous years.

Even up to ninety-eighth place was still a Rare Class.

Even the hundredth place was.

Only this ninety-ninth place.

It was actually a Normal Class Necromancer!

“Who is this Lin Xuan? Looking at this year’s leaderboard, there must be more than a hundred Rare Class Awakened. How can a Normal Class like him be ranked ninety-ninth?”

“I know him, he’s a student from Binjiang No. 1 Middle School. It’s said he’s taken first place in the city-wide joint exams many times.”

“First in the city-wide joint exams? Why isn’t he reviewing his studies, what’s the point of leveling up so high?”

“I don’t know, but that kid is quite capable…”

The fact that Lin Xuan, a Normal Class, appeared in the top hundred quickly sparked a lot of discussion.

On the first day the leaderboard was released in previous years.

There were as few as seven or eight, and as many as over ten Normal Classes that could make it into the top hundred.

This year, with so many Rare Classes and such fierce competition.

Lin Xuan could still make it into the top hundred.

Naturally, it piqued many people’s interest.

“This Lin Xuan is interesting. He studies so well yet works so hard to level up. Is he perhaps preparing for the martial arts exam?”

“Don’t even say it, I really heard a student from Binjiang No. 1 Middle School say he signed up for the martial arts exam.”

“Really? That’s too foolish. He has an advantage but isn’t using it, tsk tsk.”

“You think, could he be trying to attract the interest of people like us?”

“After all, many people now know that people from the top ten guilds in the country are coming to Jiang City to recruit young talents.”

“Young talents wouldn’t be sought among Normal Classes in a small main city like Jiang City.”

“But, if he can make it into the top fifty before the college entrance exam, we might consider giving him a chance…”

At the same time.

Lin Xuan didn’t know.

Because of a level leaderboard, he had sparked so much discussion.

Since the attribute panel was a rough representation of one’s personal abilities.

With Lin Xuan’s current ten thousand HP bonus.

His sleep quality was exceptionally good.

He only woke up leisurely around three in the afternoon.

He stretched, casually casting two skills.

Then, he got up, washed up, and ate a simple meal.

Lin Xuan went straight to the Dungeon Hall.

From afar, he saw the leaderboard on the central crystal.

He walked closer.

Lin Xuan simply glanced at the leaderboard.

He only recognized three people on the entire leaderboard.

They were precisely one Hidden Class and two Rare Classes from Binjiang No. 1 Middle School.

His good friend Zhang Fan did not appear on it.

Of course, neither did his name.

“I killed three BOSSes overnight and leveled up so fast, yet I couldn’t make it into the top hundred.”

“I didn’t expect such fierce competition in this small Jiang City.”

“Level up, I must level up as quickly as possible.”

Lin Xuan no longer paid attention to the leaderboard and went to the Auction House.

He consigned all the equipment and materials on him.

The Auction House was very fast.

Before he even walked out the main door.

His phone received a series of notifications.

“The Fine Leather Armor you consigned at the Auction House has been purchased. 500 gold coins have been deposited into your account.”

“Your Big-Eared Rabbit fur x 100 consigned at the Auction House has been…”

There were many messages, dozens in total.

Lin Xuan didn’t look closely, he opened his account and glanced at it.

Everything had been sold.

A total of thirty-nine thousand gold coins were deposited.

The cost of HP and MP potions, equipment, and skill books was about seven thousand gold coins.

Calculating it, it was nearly a six-fold increase.

“The drop rate isn’t bad.” Lin Xuan was very satisfied.

He turned around, bought two stacks of MP and HP potions, and went to the Dungeon entrance.

Dungeon: Goblin Castle.

Levels five to ten can enter, party size one to five people.

Dungeon difficulties are Normal, Hard, Hell, Nightmare, and World Annihilation.

Since killing regular monsters inside the Dungeon does not grant experience.

Experience is only obtained upon completion.

At this time, there weren’t many people at the entrance.

Lin Xuan didn’t care about that.

As long as he killed fast enough, completing the Dungeon a few more times wouldn’t make much difference in experience.

Moreover, his main goal was the skill points rewarded after completing the Dungeon.

He placed his hand on the crystal ball in front of the Dungeon entrance.

As soon as Lin Xuan chose to enter Normal difficulty.

A voice came from behind him.

“Cousin?”

Hearing the voice, Lin Xuan turned around.

It was a girl about 1.6 meters tall.

Her appearance wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, but she was very cute.

Around her were several girls of the same age.

“Yunyun, why are you here?” Lin Xuan recognized the girl.

Xu Yunyun, his aunt’s daughter.

After Lin Xuan’s parents died, his only remaining relatives were his aunt’s family.

His aunt treated him well.

Over the years, she had been responsible for his tuition and living expenses.

However, the two families lived quite far apart.

One in the south of the city, one in the north.

Both his aunt and uncle were ordinary people.

They could only come to the south of the city to visit him on holidays.

Lin Xuan didn’t expect to see his cousin at the Dungeon Hall today.

He remembered that this cousin was sixteen this year, just started high school, and hadn’t met the job change requirements yet.

“My brother brought me here.” Xu Yunyun said with a grin.

She was very lively and had a good relationship with Lin Xuan.

Just as she was about to step forward, Lin Xuan waved his hand at her.

“Alright then, you guys look around first. My Dungeon has started, I’ll see you later.”
