Chapter 97: Entering the Mystic Realm
Chapter 97: Entering the Mystic Realm
Quancheng, at the square outside the Underground Cavern Mystic Realm.
As Lu Wu turned around, he encountered the Tall-Legged Girl for the second time.
Their eyes met, and the girl, with a cold huff, displayed an unnatural expression on her face. For a moment, she felt an impulse to dodge away from Lu Wu's gaze.
What caused this unusual reaction? Was it love?
Of course not!
The Tall-Legged Girl's unnatural expression was due to Lu Wu's current identity.
Just a few days ago, she had considered Lu Wu an interesting but average Summoner with an ordinary Summon Beast.
But now, with a single turn of her head, he had become a genius Breeder.
This sudden change in identity made the Tall-Legged Girl recall her previous condescending attitude towards Lu Wu, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of shame for the words she had spoken.
That feeling was like a primary school student holding a perfect test score, inexplicably feeling superior, and lecturing a high school student to study harder.
The Tall-Legged Girl not turning and running away was already a sign of her strong will.
Not only did she not run, but when their eyes met, this girl even retorted to Lu Wu, "Hmph, don't think that just because you're a talented Breeder, you're automatically good at being a Summoner. My words won't change. The Provincial Competition slots for Quancheng are secured by our Elite Class!
If you don't want to stop at the City Competition, you should consider taking the exam in another city!"
Without giving Lu Wu a chance to respond, the girl, with her arrogance, left. Her single ponytail swayed with each step.
Lu Wu was a bit perplexed but didn't dwell on it too much. Perhaps her relatives had arrived.
Subsequently, Lu Wu, led by Li Kai, reached the Realm Office of this Mystic Realm.
They were currently at the square outside the Mystic Realm, and to enter it, they needed to go through the office to complete the necessary procedures and pay the corresponding fees. Then, they would be assigned a time to enter the Mystic Realm.
After all, the Underground Cavern was a trial-type Mystic Realm.
With a limited area, it couldn't accommodate many people simultaneously, so arrangements were necessary.
Usually, even the fastest one would have to wait in line for half a day, and if unlucky, it could take several days to get a turn.
Fortunately, Lu Wu had a Mystic Realm Pass.
The Mystic Realm Pass was issued by the Summoner Center and granted priority access to the realms under the Summoner Center's control.
After Lu Wu presented his pass, the office staff not only swiftly completed the necessary procedures but also arranged accommodation for Lu Wu.
When asked how many rooms they needed, Lu Wu hesitated for a while before answering, "Two." (Li Kai wouldn't stay in the Mystic Realm; after dropping Lu Wu off at the office, he would return.)
Once the accommodation was settled, the staff escorted Lu Wu to a VIP room and asked them to wait for half an hour?
During their wait, the staff explained the precautions for entering the Underground Cavern?
"The Underground Cavern is a Mystic Realm modified by the Cultivator Center, ensuring a high level of safety. Before you enter, we will provide you with a Mystic Realm bracelet.
If you encounter danger or wish to exit due to special circumstances, simply press the exit button on the bracelet.
The exit button is fingerprint-locked, requiring a brief moment to unlock, maximizing the prevention of accidental exits.
Additionally, the bracelet has positioning and recording functions."
It will accurately record your performance in the Mystic Realm and provide corresponding scores.
If your score in the Mystic Realm reaches a certain level or breaks a record, you will receive rewards from us, and your name will remain on the Mystic Realm scoring board until someone surpasses you..."
The staff spent almost half an hour explaining the Mystic Realm's details to Lu Wu and the others.
The more Lu Wu listened, the more he felt like he was playing an online game.
Especially with the scoring feature, Lu Wu could tell they had put a lot of effort into this function.
There were numerous ways to earn points, including the time spent in the Mystic Realm, the number and strength of defeated Summon Beasts, and the number of stages cleared within the Mystic Realm.
These were all factors affecting point acquisition!
Additionally, Lu Wu noticed that after entering the Mystic Realm, the Summoners encountered Summon Beasts of the same level as their own.
And the points earned for defeating them were the same.
This meant that the scores obtained by ordinary one-star Summoners would not differ significantly from those of Elite-level Summoners.
This placed everyone entering the Mystic Realm on an equal starting line, which also led to the possibility of ordinary Summoners' scores being far above those of Elite Summoners on the scoring board.
Moreover, the top 100 on the scoring board all received rewards, with higher ranks earning greater rewards!
The first-place Summoner even had the chance to choose a Summoning Stone.
This greatly stimulated players' desire to climb the leaderboard, a typical marketing tactic in online games.
Speaking of the scoring board, after learning about it, Lu Wu specifically went to take a look.
In the One Six One Nine Book Bar One Look Wu Correct Version!
Surprisingly, there were quite a few students from the Elite Class on the board, among whom Lin Jianying ranked 86th, while the tall-legged girl was in 9th place.
Lu Wu could recognize her despite not knowing her name because there were photos on the points leaderboard.
Lu Wu saw the tall-legged girl's photo and, in passing, her name—Ye Ruhuo!
"Such a big mouth, I thought she'd be more impressive. It took her until now to reach 9th place? Well, I'll set a small goal then—I'll just aim to get first place!"
As Lu Wu looked at the scoring board, he couldn't help but exclaim.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar cold hum sounded again. Lu Wu turned but didn't see the tall-legged girl; instead, he saw a swaying single ponytail.
It was obvious someone had caught her in the act.
This was embarrassing; if he didn't get first place, where would he put his face when they met again?
Just then, the Mystic Realm bracelet on Lu Wu's hand rang with a prompt, indicating the start of the Mystic Realm.
"Let's go; I haven't entered this so-called Mystic Realm yet!"
Lu Wu pulled Dudu's hand, and the two of them hurried towards the Mystic Realm entrance.
At the entrance, Lu Wu encountered the tall-legged girl again, apparently one of the people entering in this batch.
Lu Wu didn't pay much attention to this, but the girl seemed unhappy to see Lu Wu pulling Dudu along.
Another cold hum and a ponytail swish—Lu Wu was left with a single ponytail.
Lu Wu couldn't be bothered to deal with this girl and went straight to the staff.
"Please select a mode: Solo, Duo, or Team?"
"Duo Mode!"
"Duo Mode selection successful. Enjoy your cultivation!"
After a simple procedure, Lu Wu and Dudu were led through a door. As they stepped in...
