The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　As soon as she finished speaking, she strode into the magic door.

　All that could be seen was a ripple on the door, which then completely engulfed her enormous body.

　But before the students could even feel the tension, Professor Nini had already walked out from the other side of the door, then walked around the doorpost, returned to the front, made a gesture, and gave a big smile: "Safe."

　Professor Nini led the way as always, and the students behind her carefully stepped inside.

　There were two possibilities, and even the most timid students successfully crossed the threshold under the guidance of collective will.

　Dark followed the others in and immediately saw the "magic mark" located in the center of the "reception room".

　It was a sculpture, like a mermaid, floating above an altar.

　With a thought in mind, he took the [Magic Needle] from the backpack on Tailmon's back, and then walked towards the place that emitted...

　A mermaid statue bathed in a deep blue light.

　Surprisingly, quite a few students walked towards the mermaid statue at the same time as him.

　After a brief observation, he discovered that most of these students were from the Magic Academy, although there were also students from other academies, but...

　not much.

　The dozen or so people looked at each other and laughed, then gathered around the mermaid statue and began to collect its magic.

　Emma from the Knights Academy and Sarah from the Magic Academy were also among them.

　"Professor Nini, watching Dark and the others' actions, racked her brains for a while before suddenly realizing that she hadn't..."

　The content of this teaching segment.

　It quickly reached into its small backpack behind it, but as expected, it couldn't find the (magic needle) that didn't actually exist.

　Perhaps because she never gets lost in the dungeons, Professor Nini has never used the (magic needle).

　Naturally, they subconsciously ignored it.

　But it quickly devised a magical key-shaped object and hopped and skipped over to the mermaid statue.

　front.

　Then she clapped her hands, gathering all the students together.

　Dark had just finished collecting the magic power, and immediately put away the [Magic Needle] and looked up at Professor Nini.

　He originally thought Professor Nini was going to talk about something related to the "magic needle".

　Unexpectedly, Professor Nini merely mentioned it briefly before glossing over the matter, and then moved on to the key-shaped magical artifact.

　He took out the tool and waved it in front of the students.

　Seeing the confused expressions on the students' faces, Professor Nini couldn't help but ask smugly, "Does anyone know what this is?"

　Since no one knows

　"Professor Nini, is that the door key?"

　Sarah Swati from the Magic Academy, completely lacking in emotional intelligence, answered the question first.

　Professor Nini's voice trailed off, her neck instinctively shrinking slightly before she quickly added, "That's right, this is the door key, also known as the floor key. It's a unique item for this dungeon. You just need to activate the door in front of the magical marker at the entrance to each floor."

　The key allows direct teleportation to the corresponding level. The key in Nini's hand is engraved with the number 18, meaning it's a key that can teleport to the 18th level.

　Witt, who was quite interested in the rules of the dungeon, exclaimed in surprise, "Are there really such convenient items in the dungeon?"

　Professor Nini chuckled: "Of course. Our St. Marian's underground city is bottomless; it's impossible to reach it in just two days."

　Round trip. It's precisely because of the existence of the door key that a large-scale adventure can be completed in just a weekend.

　Dark asked curiously, "Then, Professor, what is the cooldown (CD) for this key, and how many people can it teleport simultaneously with each use?"

　Professor Nini held up three fingers: "The cooldown is only one hour. You can replenish your mana after one hour and use it again."

　In terms of transmission number

　Dark: "Thirty people... No." Professor Nini shook her head. "It's three people—each Portal Key can only transport three people at a time. To transport more people, you need the advanced version of the Portal Key—the Portal Crystal!"

　Dark asked curiously, "What is a door crystal?"

　Professor Nini said, "The portal crystal is a high-level version of the portal key. Its full name is dungeon-specific portal crystal, which can..."

　It can teleport thirty people at a time, has a three-hour cooldown, and requires a large amount of mana to replenish after each use, which is very scarce.

　Dark: "So how do we get the door key and door crystal? Do we buy them from Traveler's Street?"

　Professor Nini said, "That's one way too. Some students, after obtaining the key and portal crystal from the dungeon, will..."

　Selling them in the Traveler's Street is a bit pricey. Of course, the main way to obtain them is from the dungeons.

　Dungeons refresh weekly, resetting their treasure chests, from which there is a chance to obtain portal keys. Portal crystals, however, can only be obtained from high-level treasure chests guarded by tiered bosses.

　The students nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

　The dungeons of St. Marian's Academy are very special in the whole world.

　In the dungeons outside, there's no weekly refresh mechanism, and no concept of "treasure chests." There are only...

　There is a "treasure chest monster" that has a habit of collecting all kinds of items.

　People in this world might not feel anything.

　But when Dark learned about the dungeon, he felt it was very similar to the dungeons in the game.

　The dungeons at St. Mary's College typically refresh and reset between Monday and Wednesday, with some rare large waves...

　SS, on the other hand, requires a longer time to refresh and reset.

　Therefore, students are only allowed to enter the dungeon between Friday and Sunday.

　"All right."

　Professor Nini clapped her hands and said, "For us, the door key and the crystal are not important. Our task today is..."

　Individuals must hunt at least one monster and use its drops as proof of their identity. Their activity area is limited to the first to second level.

　It's best if you come with me to the second floor. Those who wish to explore freely can request permission from me after we reach the entrance to the second floor. But before...

　They need to be a trio, and they must carry [Magic Needles].

　These words immediately caused an uproar among the students.

　Someone couldn't help but ask, "Professor, are we going to hunt monsters? I thought we were just here for sightseeing in the dungeon."

　Professor Nini turned her head away from him and said, "Hey."

　But many more students perked up: "What's the point of sightseeing? We're here to hunt!"

　"Our goal is to slay the dragon! Charge! Charge! Charge!"

　People like Witt and Doron secretly clenched their fists.

　Robert glanced at Witt, then hesitated and asked, "Witt, do you have that [Magic Needle]?"

　Witt's clenched fist immediately relaxed, and he hesitated, saying, "039; I don't, what about you?"

　Robert: "How could I possibly have?"

　Witt: "That's true. So, does that mean we're stuck traveling with Professor Nini?"

　Robert: "Let's borrow one from someone. And it has to be a group of three. We're still short one person, so let's find someone who has a [Magic Needle]."

　Witt nodded: "That makes sense."

　Robert leaned closer, pointed in Dark's direction, and whispered, "How about we find Dimon? He not only has the [Magic Needle], but traveling with him also makes us feel incredibly safe. With him around, we can even challenge the level bosses!"

　Witt turned to look at Dark, and after a long silence, said, "Let's forget about it. There will always be people who want to roam freely but can't find any companions."

　“Alright,” Robert said regretfully, “It’s your decision.”

　So the two of them began to observe the crowd.

　There was an undercurrent of tension among the crowd, with many people already secretly forming teams.

　The requirement of having a "magic needle" for the trio is indeed a difficult problem.

　Not everyone wants to take risks, which has led to a shortage of people in some small groups.

　The number of people with the [Magic Needle] is also limited, with a maximum of a dozen or so groups.

　Only about a quarter of the people are eligible to apply.

Chapter 338 The Dungeon on the Tip of the Tongue (4k)

　Professor Nini's arrangements actually disrupted Dark's plans.

　In fact, his original plan was to find an opportunity to act alone and see if he could find [Greedy Slime i]

　What?

　This is what is commonly known as taking a chance.

　Unfortunately, the rules of the three-person group restricted his actions.

　Left with no other choice, he turned his gaze to Diana and Rose beside him.

　Diana looked up at him, then raised her head in a daze, and pulled a milk candy from her pocket.

　The candy was handed over: "Hey, Dak hesitated for a moment before taking the milk from his heart."

　Sugar, peel off the candy wrapper and bite into it.

　I must say, it's really sweet.

　Since things had already come to this point, Dak stopped dwelling on it.

　With a moment of leisure, he observed the groupings of the various departments with great interest.

　First is the House of Nobles.

　Teddy Doron was the most popular boy in his year at the Noble Academy, second only to Dark. He also had...

　With a very strong competitive spirit, one will naturally seek to form a team.

　Although Professor Nini did not specify the strength of the monsters to be hunted, having a goal inevitably leads to competition.

　Whether between or within the same department, people have already begun to secretly compete with each other.

　Besides the chubby Pistan, Duolong's group also invited a girl with a "magic needle," making a perfect trio.

　A group of people.

　When Dak looked over there, he happened to meet Doron's gaze and nodded slightly.

　Doron, seemingly misunderstanding something, suddenly raised his fist, clenched it tightly, and exuded a strong fighting spirit.

　On the other side...

　The Knights of the Knights are never inferior to anyone in their competitive spirit.

　Besides Witt and Robert seeking to form a team, Justin Wayne, the ever-charming, sunny young man, is also looking to team up.

　However, Justin Wayne himself carried a Magic Needle. Therefore, he was more at ease in selecting personnel and quickly chose two of the best from his own small group.

　But our all-knowing lady, Emma Metis, is in trouble.

　Her two deskmates, Susan and Lucy, were hardly outstanding students, and neither of them were particularly willing to leave Nini's teaching.

　They are given protection to go on adventures.

　The Knights Academy is known for its bravery and integrity.

　However, courage and integrity have always manifested in many forms.

　Some people may appear brave on the surface, but when it really matters, they run faster than anyone else.

　Some people are timid in ordinary times, but never back down when it comes to being brave.

　Emma firmly believed that her two best friends were also brave girls at heart, and that if she forced them, they would...

　I will definitely muster the courage to accompany them.

　But she is no longer an immature person who would do such a thing.

　Interacting with others helps one grow.
