Chapter 14: First Place
Outside the Gobzan Dungeon, it was very lively. Many students had already exited the dungeon. Most of them were dressed in tattered clothes, their faces covered in dark wounds, looking like beggars.
Even Yang Wei and his team were in a sorry state. Only Li Feng was completely unharmed, looking relaxed as if he had just taken a stroll inside. There was no difference between him before and after entering the dungeon, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
“Did Li Feng just go in and find a place to hide and play games?” someone said with a smile.
Xu Luo from Jiang Sheng’s team said disdainfully, “You’re right. Many people saw Yang Wei and the other two wearing Basic Armor and fighting, while Li Feng was hiding behind and playing games.”
Lin Ling’er didn’t speak, her expression indifferent. However, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes when she looked at Li Feng. This young man couldn’t take a blow.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Li Feng was still the same as always!
Hearing the surrounding conversations and knowing that Li Feng’s performance in the dungeon was extremely poor, Zhou Zhengyang couldn’t help but frown and sigh, “Such a good kid, how did he become addicted to games? Great Xia Nation should actively remediate these unhealthy trends. Reading novels is enough for entertainment.”
Li Feng glanced at them, ignored them, and said to Yang Wei and the others, “You guys go hand in the Energy Stones, I’m going back to the bus to play games.”
After saying that, he left. He had just created a new Assassin character and needed to level it up. He was looking forward to seeing what skills would appear after level 10.
Moreover, Li Feng was now worried about one thing. Beginners only had three skill slots, and now only one was left. He had to choose carefully.
As for the ranking of the Summer Dungeon Hunt, it was just something Li Feng did in passing, mainly to see what real dungeons were like in reality.
However, Li Feng’s action made everyone shake their heads.
Only Yang Wei and the other two sneered, looking at them like they were idiots. However, they also had their own selfish motives and kept Li Feng’s matter hidden. If they revealed Li Feng’s true strength, it would be difficult to team up with him in the future.
As for the thought that crossed their minds earlier about never teaming up with Li Feng again, that was laughable. As long as the expert could carry them, what’s wrong with being a lapdog?
“Everyone come over here and let’s count the Energy Stones you have.” Zhou Zhengyang said to the students who came out of the dungeon.
No one moved. They all looked at Jiang Sheng’s team. Jiang Sheng’s team was recognized as the number one in the grade this year.
Everyone wanted to see how many Energy Stones they had collected.
Jiang Sheng smiled confidently. Even though his sportswear was damaged, it couldn’t hide his handsome face. He walked up to Teacher Zhou and handed over the Energy Stones they had obtained from the dungeon.
“Hmm, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight Energy Stones. Ten of them are from Evolved Goblins, and one hundred and eighteen are from ordinary goblins.”
Zhou Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction. This was a very good result. He looked at Jiang Sheng and said, “I didn’t expect you to be able to kill ten Evolved Goblins. Among Beginner players, your strength is considered very strong.”
“This is too insane. We had a hard time dealing with even three Evolved Goblins.” Many students looked at Jiang Sheng with admiration.
Jiang Sheng’s team started the process, and other students followed suit, handing in their Energy Stones. Most teams had only killed two or three Evolved Goblins.
Some of the more outstanding teams had only killed four or five Evolved Goblins, which still shocked many people.
Soon, it was Yang Wei and his team’s turn to hand in their Energy Stones.
“This” Zhou Zhengyang looked at the hundreds of Energy Stones in his hand, his face froze. He looked at Yang Wei and the others, took a deep breath, and said, “Eighteen Energy Stones from Evolved Goblins. Are you sure you killed these?”
◈◈◈
“How is that possible?” The surrounding students also looked over, their faces filled with shock.
Jiang Sheng’s confident expression gradually turned into astonishment. They had faced great danger when they killed ten Evolved Goblins, but Yang Wei and his team had killed eighteen.
“It must be because of the Basic Armor. That thing shouldn’t appear in a Beginner dungeon.” Suddenly, a student said indignantly.
Hearing this, many people came to a realization and cursed, “This is cheating, this is a rigged system. The rich are too hateful. They can’t compare to us in strength, so they use money.”
“The world is going downhill. How can there be such an operation? It’s too dark. If I had Basic Armor, I could also kill eighteen Evolved Goblins.”
Many students looked very displeased. Yang Wei’s team was formed by the three worst students in the grade. If they won first place, it would be a slap in the face to many people.
However, Yang Wei didn’t indulge them and sneered, “If you’re not convinced, you can also buy Basic Armor. You bunch of poor people, you want to compete with us for first place?”
“That’s right, we’re just making reasonable use of resources. If you want to blame someone, blame your fathers for not working hard enough. Of course, if you work harder, maybe you can make your sons rich second-generation.” Sheng Xu also said sarcastically.
Qin Anran rolled her eyes. Was she being dragged into this? She should have run away with Li Feng earlier.
“You bastards, I really want to beat these two up.” Many students clenched their fists, the crowd surging.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhengyang frowned. If this continued, something big would happen. He quickly said, “Alright, alright, the result of this competition is that Yang Wei’s team is first. Although they relied on equipment, we can’t deny that they have strength.”
“Sigh, I still feel like something’s not right. Will such a strange combination bring negative effects to our school?” Another teacher said.
“Yes, yes, should we change the rules? Let Jiang Sheng’s team be first and Yang Wei’s team be second. This way, we can solve the problem. Otherwise, these students won’t be convinced.” Jiang Sheng’s homeroom teacher chimed in.
“I think this is fine. Let them face the harsh realities of society so that they don’t become arrogant after leaving school.”
How could the rules be changed so easily? Zhou Zhengyang’s expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out.
An old, white-bearded man appeared among them at some point. He looked at the surrounding students with a peaceful gaze, but he didn’t see Li Feng. He casually asked, “By the way, where’s that internet addict?”
“Ah, Principal Ye, why are you here?” Zhou Zhengyang said with great joy. Since Principal Ye had spoken, this matter was settled. Then he carefully asked, “Are you talking about Li Feng?”
The other teachers frowned but didn’t say anything. Principal Ye’s authority was still very great, and no one dared to say anything about changing the rules.
“Never mind, I just came to take a look.” Ye Buzhou ignored them, as if he really just came to take a look, and then he left.
The second chapter will be a little later, something came up.
