Gacha pull: I obtained a god-level talent.

"A secret realm instance?" Zhang Yuan asked in surprise, "What's that?"

Li Xueer: "That's different from naturally occurring wilderness dungeons. Secret realm dungeons are special artificial dungeons created by people at great cost. All the monsters in those dungeons are artificially created."

"Our college entrance examination in seven days will actually take place in a super-large-scale dungeon."

Zhang Yuan: "So, you took me to the secret realm instance mainly to simulate the college entrance examination?"

"That's one of the reasons,"

Li Xueer patiently explained, "There is another more important reason. A few days ago, the military announced a new policy that allows students in our year to join the military's special forces while taking the college entrance exam, and receive military resources for training."

"You should know that the military has access to many resources that even Kyoto University doesn't have. If we can get training from the military, our future will be limitless!"

"This secret realm instance is actually a test conducted by the military, with the aim of selecting outstanding students."

"It is said that the best students even have the opportunity to join the legendary Hidden Dragon Squad. All the major families fight tooth and nail for a single spot to take the exam. I went to great lengths to get you a spot to enter the secret realm dungeon."

Upon hearing Li Xue'er's words, Zhang Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily. "So that secret realm instance is the trial for the Hidden Dragon Squad?"

Li Xueer patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Although it's very difficult to get into the Qianlong Detachment, I believe you can definitely get in."

Looking at Li Xue'er's encouraging eyes, Zhang Yuan really didn't want to embarrass her, so he could only say, "Although the military's policy is tempting, our focus right now should be on getting to level 19, right? Otherwise, you won't be able to get into Kyoto University, which you've been longing for."

"You don't need to worry about that. The monsters in the secret realm dungeon also give experience, and the rewards are extremely generous."

At this point, Li Xue'er punched Zhang Yuan hard in the chest again, "You blockhead, when did you become so indecisive? Even if we fail the test and don't pass the Hidden Dragon Squad's trial, there will still be a lot of experience in the secret realm dungeon. Isn't that better than you grinding in the wild here?"

Zhang Yuan: "Actually..."

Li Xue'er interrupted, "It's settled then. That secret realm instance will open soon, so let's head over there now and treat it as a leveling-up session."

Before Zhang Yuan could speak, Li Xue'er immediately pulled him into the car that Butler Xu had parked by the roadside. "Butler Xu, let's go!"

"Okay lady."

Butler Xu chuckled as he glanced at the two playfully bickering in the back seat through the rearview mirror, then started the car and headed towards the location of the secret realm instance.

The entrance to this secret realm instance is located in Yunhai Manor at the top of Yunhai Mountain, north of Xihu City.

When Butler Xu arrived by car, the parking lot outside Yunhai Manor was already filled with luxury cars. Almost all the celebrities in Xihu City whose children were taking the college entrance examination this year had come here.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the luxury cars in the parking lot and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the military's policy supposed to be nationwide? Why are all these cars from Xihu City?"

Li Xueer: "There are many independent spaces in the secret realm dungeon. This is just the entrance to the dungeon for the West Lake City branch venue. Other cities also have their own entrances to the secret realm dungeon."

"Simply put, once we enter, we'll be in different spaces within the same instance, just like a layered cake. The same goes for the super-large secret realm instance used for the college entrance examination; each province has its own independent space."

"Although the spaces are different, the assessment content is the same, so we just need to focus on tackling our own dungeons."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I see, I've learned something."

Upon hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Li Xue'er proudly puffed out her chest. "Hmph, I know a lot more. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Butler Xu: "Miss, the secret realm instance is about to open, don't be late."
