Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Click—

Xiao Yun closed the dormitory door and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly heard someone speak in front of him.

"Yo yo, our savior is back."

Seeing Su Muqing's barely concealed smile, Xiao Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he raised his finger to tap her head in annoyance.

"Are you making fun of me too?"

Seeing that Su Muqing had also awakened the attributes of a fun-loving person, Xiao Yun had a bad feeling.

There aren't many top talents like Professor Jiang Shangzhen in universities, but there are definitely plenty of fun-loving people.

"It's over..."

Xiao Yun plopped down in a chair, feeling utterly hopeless.

Seeing him like this, Su Muqing covered her mouth and chuckled, then sat down beside him to comfort him:

"Okay, okay, just kidding. Actually, your speech today was particularly effective."

Although Xiao Yun displayed extraordinary awareness and combat power on the night of the full moon, it was completely impossible to convince a group of young people in their twenties with strength alone.

However, Xiao Yun's last words brought a perfect end to all the efforts made on the night of the full moon.

Su Muqing placed her hand on his shoulder, her eyes sparkling:

"From now on, you truly deserve the title of building manager."

Xiao Yun nodded, knowing that his words had played a significant role in uniting people's hearts.

Of course, it would be best if no one caused trouble.

After chatting with Su Muqing for a while, the urgent call of the Crow King came from within the contract connection.

After being cooped up for so long and finally evolving, it also wants to come out and have some fun.

Xiao Yun took out the Shadow Stone, and the black mist swirled in his hand, eventually condensing into the shape of a crow.

"quack!"

The Crow King flapped its wings and flew up, circling twice in the dormitory before landing in front of Xiao Yun.

"Hey, isn't that Ya Ya? He's gotten so handsome in just a few days!"

"quack!"

Upon hearing Su Muqing's praise, the Crow King proudly raised his head.

Xiao Yun smiled and pulled the Crow King over for a closer look.

After evolving into the Shadow Messenger, the Raven King's size actually decreased significantly, approaching the size of a raven on Earth.

The once smooth and glossy wings have become a more matte color, and the whole thing looks as if it is shrouded in a layer of mist, full of mystery.

"That's right, it makes it easier to conceal, especially the eyes..."

Xiao Yunduan stared intently into those dark eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

Although they were still black, when Xiao Yun looked into those eyes, he felt as if he were staring directly at a pitch-black sun, the pale corona stinging his eyes.

But that feeling was fleeting. After communicating with the Crow King, Xiao Yun understood that it was just some special effects brought about by the recent evolution, and it would be fine after a while.

"However, it's no simple thing to conjure up a black sun in the Shadowlands. It would be great if it could be a permanent skill."

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, but didn't dwell on it too much.

The evolved Raven King is already powerful enough, with attributes comparable to a ninth-sequence professional, and has even awakened a talent that even Xiao Yun envies.

【A-0003-Shadow Messenger】.

This talent grants the Raven King three abilities: first, the ability to move through shadows; second, the ability to track an opponent's projection in the Shadowlands; and third, the ability to harvest the spirit of his enemies to strengthen himself.

"It combines survival, combat, and development into one talent. No wonder it's ranked third. It's too strong. It can probably be compared with some non-combat S-level talents."

The only problem is that the Raven King's current stats are a bit low. He's okay against ordinary ninth-sequence opponents, but he's probably powerless against stronger ones.

Xiao Yun wasn't in a hurry about this. The Crow King had only just evolved, and he could accumulate experience gradually in the future.

After reviewing the Crow King's talents, Xiao Yun then looked at its newly acquired skills.

There are three core skills: [Shadow Mist], [Shadow Avatar], and [Shadow Manipulation].

Xiao Yun glanced at the skill description and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"Isn't this the skill of that crow-man we encountered in the Shadowlands?"

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then asked the Crow King to demonstrate the specific effects of these skills.

"quack!"

The Crow King flapped its wings, and a thick black mist rose up.

Da da—

Footsteps came from the black mist, and then the Crow King, whose appearance had changed drastically, appeared before them.

He wore a wide, jet-black robe, and beneath the hood was a pale, raven-like face, with a pale, flickering spiritual fire in his empty eyes.

"Okay, I knew it."

Xiao Yun smiled and then looked at the skill effects of [Shadow Mist] and [Shadow Manipulation].

The former refers to the ability of the Crow People to switch between reality and illusion, while the latter is the "Demon Head," which serves as a means of control and attack.

However, the Raven King has not used his talent to harvest spirits, so [Shadow Drive] has not caused any substantial damage for the time being.

Furthermore, the skill [Shadow Mist] also has many limitations.

"One must entrust one's spirituality to a physical entity, otherwise one cannot completely transform into a virtual state, and the physical entity to which one entrusts one's spirituality must be carried with one's person."

Xiao Yun glanced at the skill description and frowned slightly.

This limitation is a fatal flaw in combat.

At that time, the Crowmen's scythes were shattered, rendering them almost completely ineffective in battle. If this fatal flaw were discovered during combat, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Therefore, a sufficiently sturdy, completely indestructible object is needed to entrust the spirituality to."

Xiao Yun lowered his head and pondered, then suddenly his eyes lit up.

He took out the Star Tear and looked at the regular 32-sided cube in front of him with a burning gaze.

"Does 'unlimited durability' mean it won't break?"

Besides the Star Tears, Xiao Yun couldn't think of a better alternative for the time being.

"There aren't enough resources to fully energize the Star Tears right now. The C+ grade Star Tears don't offer much of an improvement, so let's give them to the Crow King to entrust with spiritual power."

Considering that it would be difficult for the Crow King to carry the Star Tear, Xiao Yun found a piece of leather in the pile of junk and cut it into a small collar with Su Muqing, and fixed the Star Tear to it.

"This is my best piece of jewelry, so please don't lose it."

"quack!"

The Crow King stretched out his wings, made an OK sign, and ran to the side to show off his new form to the Goose Boss, Little White, and others.

"Gurgle—"

The insect patriarch poked its head out of the box, looking at the smug look on the crow king's face with great envy.

"Don't worry, you'll evolve soon too."

Xiao Yun smiled and rubbed its head, then placed star fragments and Star-Eating Dragon blood on it.

Today marks the fourth time we've replenished evolution materials. According to the system's information, the evolution process of the Insect Ancestor is already halfway complete.

"An ordinary Nightwing can awaken a top-tier A-rank talent after evolution, so a Light-Stealing Bug, whose ancestors were wealthy, shouldn't be any worse, right?"

Xiao Yun's eyes flickered, his heart filled with anticipation.

Outside, the crimson moonlight had dimmed considerably, and before anyone knew it, the night of the full moon was drawing to a close.

Taking advantage of the last bit of time, Xiao Yun sorted through the items dropped by Zhang Weitao and the other two.

Apart from the [Critical Hit] skill dropped by the archer, the other skills were not very useful, so Xiao Yun put them aside and planned to disassemble them into upgrade cards when he had time.

The three had different professions from Xiao Yun, and their equipment was mostly useless. Apart from giving some assassin equipment and accessories to the Crow King, Xiao Yun packed up the rest and put them in the dormitory building's warehouse.

After sorting through them, only one item on the three of them caught Xiao Yun's attention.

[Item: Cafeteria Dungeon Unlock Certificate]

[Level: None]

[Effect: Used to enter the hidden dungeon in the cafeteria]

[Description: Each region has unique hidden dungeons, which are more dangerous than the main regions, but also offer more diverse rewards.]

"A hidden dungeon?"

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. There was a preview message today that he could use to view the details of the hidden dungeon.

[Ding! Specified information—'Cafeteria' 'Hidden Dungeon'—is being retrieved...]

[Ding! Message has been refreshed...]

The detailed information about the hidden dungeon appeared before his eyes. Xiao Yun glanced at it and his expression became somewhat complicated.

"This hidden dungeon is more difficult than I expected, just like the revitalized teaching building."

Xiao Yun estimated that he would only have enough confidence to explore after he reached the eighth sequence.

"But of the information we have so far, this is the only place where the Golden Pot will drop."

Xiao Yun was really looking forward to the three-crown easter egg; he couldn't miss this dungeon.

For a moment, Xiao Yun felt that the voucher in his hand was burning hot.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We're still carrying the curse of the teaching building instance."

Xiao Yun sighed softly and put away the voucher.

At the same time, cheers suddenly came from outside.

Xiao Yun looked up and saw that the night of the full moon was completely over.

The long-awaited settlement has finally arrived.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving the full moon night. Rewards are being calculated.]

[You successfully slew the Lord-level creatures Star Moon Goose and Steel Fang Serpent, led your settlement companions through the full moon night, harvested a large amount of materials, and successfully thwarted the evil forces' plot, rescuing an alchemist...]
