Pre-college entrance examination
"I understand." Lin Yuan nodded, grasping what Zero meant.
The materials currently available on Blue Star could only support Zero in recovering to Tier 6.
To recover to Tier 7, more advanced materials were required.
These materials were far too rare for the current Blue Star.
Lin Yuan would need to head into Dungeons himself to find them.
However, it didn't matter; Zero had a self-destruct ultimate move.
By sacrificing its entire chassis as the price, it could briefly unleash Tier 7 power.
This move was powerful, certainly, but it was also quite expensive.
Lin Yuan estimated that the materials Zero had just consumed, converted into Xia currency, were worth nearly 1.2 billion.
The materials this time were a friendly sponsorship from Qin Liang.
But Qin Liang couldn't provide them for free every time.
At 1.2 billion a pop, even with Lin Yuan's net worth exceeding 2 billion, he could only use it twice.
Just after returning to the villa, Principal brought Chen Hongwei over for a visit.
Principal was carrying various bags and packages in his hands.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan, the smile on his face blossomed like a flower.
Even from a distance, one could feel Principal's enthusiasm.
"Student Lin Yuan."
"Please forgive our abrupt visit; there is a matter we would like to ask for your help with."
"Sit down and speak." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.
"Alan, pour the tea."
Alan brought over the freshly brewed tea and placed it in front of Principal and Chen Hongwei.
The two of them appeared very reserved upon seeing Alan, and they stood up to take the teacups.
Anyone who had seen the projection of the Blazing Demon Fortress knew that Alan only acted like a lady in front of Lin Yuan; when dealing with enemies, she was insanely unhinged.
"Enjoy." A brilliant smile appeared on Alan's face. After putting down the teacups, she went outside the villa to continue watering the sapling.
Lin Yuan picked up his teacup and took a gentle sip. "Principal mentioned earlier that there was something you needed my help with. I wonder what that might be?"
Lin Yuan hadn't been idle these past two days. He had toured all of Tianfeng City and visited every Dungeon over level 35.
He had wanted to find a couple of Dungeons to grind levels, but let alone hell difficulty, there were almost no Nightmare difficulty ones either; they were all Dungeons below Warrior difficulty.
Lin Yuan randomly picked a level 40 Toxic Swamp Dungeon, chose Warrior difficulty, and cleared the Dungeon in less than 20 minutes.
Upon coming out, he saw three pieces of Platinum equipment and 30,000 experience points. The returns were too small, not even amounting to as much experience as a minor boss in a hell difficulty Dungeon would provide.
This left Lin Yuan, who had grown accustomed to rapid leveling, feeling very uncomfortable. Consequently, Lin Yuan asked Mu Tianxing to look for Dungeons similar to the Blazing Demon Fortress.
Lin Yuan had been waiting for news from Mu Tianxing for the past two days and had quite a bit of free time. If the request Principal made wasn't excessive, Lin Yuan could consider helping him.
"Well..." Principal rubbed his hands together. "The college entrance examination is in twenty days, and the Southwest Province is preparing to hold a mock exam."
"The purpose is to filter out outstanding talent and recruit them into major universities in advance."
"The location for this mock exam is Binhai City, where quite a few ocean-type Dungeons have appeared recently."
"The students from the First High School will all be participating, and I wanted to ask if Student Lin Yuan has any time these next few days."
"If possible, could you accompany the students from the First High School to Binhai City?"
Principal had two considerations in making this request. On one hand, Lin Yuan's strength was immense; if he participated in the exam, it would be like playing in a rookie tournament. First place was already guaranteed. Winning first place would surely lead to a significant increase in the next year's educational funding.
