I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 73 was nothing unusual; it was the expected outcome.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the Academic Affairs Office, he went inside and saw Director Fei of the Academic Affairs Office standing respectfully to the side.

Hong Ki-seok sat casually in what was originally his seat.

When Jiang Chen arrived, he was somewhat surprised to see Hong Jishi, but his expression did not change much.

"Greetings, God Hong; greetings, Director Fei." Jiang Chen bowed respectfully.

Hong Jishi chuckled and waved to Jiang Chen: "I watched the footage of this trial, and you performed exceptionally well."

Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled. Why had he been summoned all this way just to say this, just to praise him in person? Jiang Chen looked at him with some doubt: "Lord Hong, I only did what I was supposed to do!"

Hong Jishi's smile grew even brighter. The mindset he always admired most was to remain humble in victory and undeterred in defeat, which he considered the best mindset for becoming a top performer.

"Do you know what the Mermaid's Tears are used for?" Hong Ki-seok suddenly asked.

The purpose of this trial is to obtain the Mermaid's Tears, but Jiang Chen still doesn't know what the Mermaid's Tears are for.

However, since the university has made this arrangement, the mermaid's tears must be useful.

Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Hong Jishi explained with a smile, "Actually, not many people know the function of the Mermaid's Tears during this trial. After all, the level difference is too great, and most people don't need it."

"The Mermaid's Tears are related to the success rate of awakening talents during the second job advancement." This statement surprised Jiang Chen slightly.

Jiang Chen knew that there was a chance to awaken his talent during the second job advancement, but the chance was extremely slim, and the probability of success was almost negligible.

The odds are so slim that only one in ten thousand people can have such good luck.

He had thought it was just a matter of luck, but he never expected there would be a tool that could increase the success rate.

Despite his inner surprise, Jiang Chen maintained a calm expression, and even his eyes did not change.

Hong Jishi was somewhat disappointed, unable to read the emotions he had hoped for from Jiang Chen's expression.

He continued, "Of course, besides the Mermaid's Tears, there are other items that can help awaken talents, but they are relatively difficult to obtain."

"We had originally calculated the time and location of Mermaid Island's appearance, but unexpectedly, the Sakura Kingdom also calculated the same information, which almost caused the trial to fail."

"Fortunately, you were here; your contribution is indispensable."

"You've done a great service to the school in this incident."

"In the Divine Dragon Empire, merit is always rewarded. What reward do you want? Just tell me, and I will do my best to meet your needs."

Jiang Chen considered for a moment, then said, "Can you help me find someone?"

Hong Jishi laughed and said, "I knew you would make this request. You checked with the Academic Affairs Office, didn't you?"

“Your sister Jiang Ruo joined the university last year, and then she joined the Dragon Clan Academy at the beginning of this year, so you can only find her blank file in the university’s records.”

"The information of all students who join the Dragon Academy is kept confidential."

Jiang Chen was somewhat shocked to hear that his sister had joined the Dragon Clan Academy. He knew that joining the Dragon Clan Academy was extremely difficult, as it was one of the most prestigious academies in the university.

Fang Hongxiu's ultimate dream is to join the Dragon Clan Academy.

Lin Cai'er also told him that he should definitely join the Dragon Clan Academy if he had the chance.

The Dragon Academy always held a sense of mystery in his mind.

I never expected that my older sister would go in first.

Jiang Chen realized there was a problem.

My older sister has only been in university for less than half a year, how could she be allowed to join the Dragon Clan Academy?

It's worth noting that even someone like Fang Hongxiu, who was trained by the university, couldn't join the Dragon Clan Academy.

Hong Jishi said, "Jiang Ruo did indeed join the Dragon Clan Academy. According to the rules, I cannot reveal anything about the Dragon Clan Academy to you."

"So if you have any questions, you'll have to join the Dragon Academy yourself and ask your sister." "You probably won't see your sister until you join the Dragon Academy."

Jiang Chen asked without hesitation, "How can I join the Dragon Clan Academy?"

Hong Jishi was prepared and operated his communicator a few times. Soon after, Jiang Chen's communicator notified him that some information had been received.

"Alright, I've sent you the requirements for joining the Dragon Academy. You can take a look at them when you have time."

"I was going to tell you about your sister anyway, it's not a reward for you. You can bring up another one."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I want a cooling amulet."

Director Fei gave him an "I knew it" look.

Hong Jishi slapped the table and burst into laughter: "Old Fei, I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Director Fei laughed out loud: "Sir, you are indeed a prophet, your predictions are spot on." Jiang Chen's two requests were exactly what Hong Jishi had expected.

Hong Jishi looked at Jiang Chen with a teasing smile: "Do you know how valuable a cooling amulet is? Even a basic cooling amulet isn't something you can just buy casually."

Jiang Chen nodded.

It's definitely not available; it's not even in the university's stock exchange.

Hong Jishi said, "Let's keep things separate. You did very well in the college entrance examination and became the top scorer in the country. You have already received all the rewards you deserved. Let's call it even."

"You have made contributions to this trial mission, but this alone is not enough to earn you a basic cooldown amulet."

"I have a task for you. If you complete it, I'll get you a basic cooldown amulet."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up: "Okay."

With the basic cooling amulet, things are much easier for Jiang Chen. He can repeatedly run dungeons in a short period of time, which greatly increases his leveling speed.

Hong Jishi said, "You need to level up to level 20 first before you can take on this mission."

"As for how to upgrade, you can consult Director Fei; he is an expert in this field."

"Okay, contact me again when you reach level 20."

Jiang Chen now has Hong Jishi's contact information in his communicator.

Once he reaches level 20, he can contact Hong Jishi.

Obtain the Cooling Amulet, join the Dragon Academy, and find your sister.

Jiang Chen set a goal for himself.

After Hong Jishi left, Director Fei finally sat back down in his own seat.

He looked at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.

From Hong Jishi's attitude just now, he could tell that Hong Jishi thought highly of the young man in front of him.

He knew Hong Jishi all too well what he was like normally. Over the years, he had never seen Hong Jishi treat anyone with such a kind and gentle demeanor.

Even the top geniuses in the Dragon Academy were still scolded mercilessly by Hong Jishi.

Hong Jishi's attitude towards Jiang Chen has completely surpassed that of the other trainees.

If he didn't know Jiang Chen's identity, he would have suspected that Jiang Chen might be Hong Jishi's illegitimate son.

Director Fei said with a smile, "There are many ways to level up, but the fastest way is definitely to solo dungeons."

"It's just that soloing dungeons is difficult and dangerous. Most people can only do the normal difficulty at most, and they probably won't even fight the final boss because they can't beat it."

"Besides soloing dungeons, there are also areas with elite monsters in the wild, and there are quite a few of these places." "However, those places are also crowded, and disputes often arise over territory."

"Another option is to find those world bosses. World bosses can provide a lot of experience, more than dungeon bosses, and you can also get good equipment."

"But the wild bosses are monopolized by major guilds, and people who don't know about them don't even know their respawn time."

Director Fei mentioned many methods, but apart from the initial method of farming dungeons, which was somewhat reliable, all the subsequent methods were unreliable.

These career paths are only suitable for ordinary professionals, not for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen understood this, but he remained very patient and listened attentively.

Even though it's not useful to me, it's still a piece of knowledge.

You never know when you might need it.

For example, Director Fei mentioned the strange public areas between countries, something Jiang Chen had never heard of before. Director Fei talked for a full ten minutes without stopping.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had no reaction, he finally lost his temper: "Lord Hong Shen is right, you really don't talk much. I lose, I'm not joking with you anymore."

Jiang Chen: "..."

"Give me your ID card, and I'll process the paperwork for you."

Jiang Chen handed over his ID card, and Director Fei quickly completed the formalities for him, while also handing Jiang Chen a teleportation stone that looked somewhat special.

"This is the teleportation stone for the dungeon hall."

"Within the university's boundaries, you can use it to teleport into the university's dungeons."

"If you want to run dungeons, go there."

"By the way, this teleportation stone is worth 1000 points, which has already been deducted from your points card." In university, everything is a commodity.

If you want something, you have to pay the corresponding price.

It could be labor, points, or gold coins.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

After leaving the academic affairs office, Jiang Chen's first thought was to contact Lin Cai'er.

Having promised to help her level up, I naturally can't break my promise.

The communicator vibrated, indicating that a message had been received from Lin Cai'er.

"Something came up, I'll be away for a few days, I'll contact you when I get back."

I didn't expect that this little girl wouldn't be here this time...
