Pei Jun patted Kevin on the shoulder and said, "You haven't checked the school app these two days? Didn't you read the announcement?"
"What announcement?"
Kevin looked confused, feeling that the topic had jumped a bit too far.
I was worried about the whole school skipping classes, so why did you bring up the announcement?
"Does the announcement call on everyone to skip classes?" he couldn't help but ask.
"It's basically the same thing. The school gave us a day off for today's challenge dungeon opening, saying that they were encouraging us to actively participate."
Pei Jun said this, looked at the crowded and noisy crowd ahead, and sighed:
"This is indeed a very enthusiastic scene. I'm afraid the school didn't expect this."
"I definitely didn't expect it. If I had expected it, how could I have been given a day off?"
Su Mu was also looking towards the entrance of the copy.
Although there is some distance between them, one can still clearly see two arch-like buildings standing in the open space of the dormitory area.
The black stone was covered with mysterious runes and shone with a dark red light, making it look like a portal to another world.
This is also Sumuti’s opinion.
Since it is a challenge dungeon, students must be mentally prepared and have a sense of immersion before entering the dungeon.
Therefore, the entrance to the challenge dungeon cannot be like the front desk of an Internet cafe, with a girl swiping a card to log into the computer. It needs to have a sense of mystery.
The teachers attach great importance to the opinions of enthusiastic students who do not want to reveal their names.
So now we have these two portals that look very childish and mysterious.
It turns out that this design is very popular.
Su Mu not only heard the praise from his teammates, but also heard the praise and comments from his classmates:
"Is that the entrance to the dungeon? It looks really cool!"
"And there's snowy wind blowing out from the door? Is that an illusion? But I have to admit, I got the feeling the moment I saw this scene. It made me feel like I was really going to a dangerous place to carry out an important mission!"
"Except for being slightly smaller in size, these two portals are indeed very similar to the portals that lead to the Desperate Place. The school has invested a lot of money this time. It's not like the previous exams, which were all just some cheap special effects."
"The special effects for the previous exam were pretty good too. Have the teachers gotten the hang of it recently? Or have they sought guidance from experts? This kind of detailed design is really impressive!"
"My middle school soul is already burning. I am not going to clear the dungeon, but to save the world. I want to recite a poem: If the sky does not give birth to me, the dungeon will be as dark as night forever!"
Walking a few steps closer to the entrance of the copy, Sumu and the others saw two statues next to the teleportation arch.
A bright and beautiful statue, it was the young lady who appeared in the "interlude" of the college entrance examination.
The other one is the gloomy and murderous Xuanming.
The two statues are lifelike, and have been equipped with a talisman array system and spiritual pattern codes. They have a certain intelligence and can not only move but also speak.
Originally, the teachers planned to use these two statues to help maintain order, but the reality was far from what they had imagined.
As soon as the two statues were put on display, they became very popular.
Many students gathered around to take photos.
The previous exam and the "interlude advertisement" made Qingnv and Xuanming very popular on the Internet and even appeared on the hot searches. Now when they saw them, the students would not let them go even if it was a statue.
After all, since we are here, we should at least take a picture, right?
In this situation, not only were the two statues unable to help maintain order, but teachers had to come over and yell at people who wanted to take photos, and line up in order...
"These two statues were made by our Fairy Spirit Calligraphy and Painting Department and the Talisman Array Department. They worked overtime to make them. How are they? Are they okay?"
When Pei Jun said this, there was a hint of boasting and seeking praise in his tone.
Unfortunately, no one praised me. Everyone just asked in confusion: "What do you think you can do? How much free time do you have?"
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you guys praising me a little?" Pei Jun muttered in dissatisfaction.
Then he sighed and said, "This is a task assigned by the department. If it were you, would you not do it? Would you dare not do it? Fortunately, there are credits as a reward, so it's not in vain."
Perhaps influenced by the mysterious-style portal and the statues of Qingnv and Xuanming, many students gathered here who were good at illusion cast an illusion on themselves and transformed themselves into Qingnv, Xuanming, or even Xuenü, Snow Monster, etc.
This also made Su Mu and the others wonder whether they were here to challenge the dungeon or to attend a COS event?
There were even students who were good at illusions, loudly soliciting business: "We provide illusion disguise services, the fees are reasonable, and the effects are long-lasting. Students are welcome to come and try. If you are not satisfied, we will not charge you."
Business is booming and many people come to them.
There were two classmates discussing business next to me.
"Turn into a snow girl costume for me."
"Classmate, are you sure you are a snow girl? Aren't you a man?"
"What's wrong with being a man? Don't all the pretty ladies at comic conventions go to the men's room? Just change when I ask you to. My teammates are still waiting for me to turn into a snow girl so I can dance for them and boost their morale."
This is a good team member! Su Mu couldn't help but turn his head and cast an admiring look at the burly man who asked to become a snow girl.
In addition to this group of people who play illusion COS, there are many other people here who are looking for teams and team members.
In the past few days, although many people have formed teams in advance, there are still some people who have not formed a team for various reasons, or the team is temporarily short of people.
So they all came here, wanting to try their luck on the scene and find a good team and good players.
Here, someone mentioned his previous exam results when asking for a team, and ended up being scolded.
“My previous monthly exam results were all thanks to Su Mu’s help. I can’t rely on him for the next challenge. I have to show my real ability.
What are your grades? What was your ranking in the last monthly exam? What were your scores in the first, second, and third exams last year? Have you participated in any professional competitions? Have you ever received a scholarship..."
The student who was asked was so confused that he almost became autistic.
As for those teams that are looking for team members, some are relatively normal, while others are rather weird.
For example, some teams only need people who major in strongman or flying sword.
It's not because they lack tanks or output, but because they want to form a pure tank or pure kitchen team, and rely on drugs to replenish blood and recover, and they just want to take it down in one wave.
If you can't take the enemy away, take yourself away.
It's so quick and neat, without any delay.
There are also some teams that are made up entirely of support players, and they just play a control game to see who can grind who to death first...
The teachers did not interfere with the students' team formation plans.
No matter how bizarre the team composition was, they did not stop it.
On the one hand, it is to unleash students’ imagination and creativity;
On the other hand, it is necessary to use cruel actual combat to hone students and enable them to grow.
Seeing Su Mu, Lin Jiange and others coming, some students who did not form a team came over to try their luck, but they were naturally rejected.
Those teams that were recruiting were envious when they saw Su Mu and Lin Jian'e.
However, they knew that it would be impossible to recruit people now, and they could only envy in their hearts.
Before Su Mu and his companions even approached the dungeon entrance, they were stopped by someone:
"Teacher Su, are you here? Have you queued up? If not, come to us and we'll let you."
Turning around, I saw that the person who was speaking was the senior who had attended the foundation-building tutoring class with me before.
Most of his teammates are also graduates of the foundation-building tutoring class.
After listening to what this senior brother said, Su Mu and the others noticed that there was a long queue forming from the entrance of the copy!
Some had entire teams of people lined up in the queue, while others had one or two representatives line up while the others were busy with other things around them.
Lin Junjie looked at the length of the line and opened his mouth in surprise.
"Fuck, the line is so long? Doesn't the dungeon officially open at 9 o'clock? When did you come here to line up?"
The brother replied, "We came quite late, at about five o'clock. The group at the front of the line were said to have been here since midnight yesterday."
Not only Lin Junjie, but everyone else was also shocked: "Is it really that serious? Do you really have to fight so hard?"
"That's what I heard."
The senior brother motioned for everyone to come closer and said in a low voice:
"Someone familiar with the situation said that the drop rate of this challenge dungeon will be very high at the beginning to attract people to play it. Later on, the drop rate will slowly adjust to a normal level. So if you enter late, the drop rate will drop, so wouldn't you lose out?"
"Which insider is it?"
"I don't know who it is specifically, but I heard that this insider is quite powerful. This challenge dungeon was proposed by his uncle, and his uncle participated in the whole process..."
"Oh, the uncle's party." Lin Junjie and the others nodded suddenly.
Su Mu was speechless, thinking, isn't this nonsense? I was the one who proposed the challenge, how come I didn't know that I had such a nephew?
"You don't have to let us go. We'll go to the back and line up. There's no rush anyway."
Su Mu declined the other party's kindness and turned around with Lin Junjie, Kevin and others and walked towards the end of the long team.
"It's good for us to be in the back, so that those ahead can go in and explore the way first. We can also learn some lessons from their experience. Only by following the path of our predecessors can we go further."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In fact, at this moment in the team, many people are complaining about the long queues and too few dungeon entrances, and are asking for more servers... bah, more dungeon entrances.
The teachers who were maintaining order at the scene did not expect the scene to be so heated.
"When did these students become so motivated? Why didn't they pay so much attention during exams or homework?"
"Alright, alright, stop complaining. Let's report to the higher-ups and ask them to add more dungeon entrances. Otherwise, these students will cause trouble sooner or later."
The teachers quickly reported the situation on the scene.
The bosses take it very seriously.
It’s a pity that the early estimation was wrong and not much preparation was made. Although there were several backup copies, they were obviously not enough.
But someone was still sent to deliver it quickly.
At the same time, the teachers in charge of copy production were asked to quickly make a few more copies, even if it was just a start to make up the number.
Anyway, in the short term, it is impossible for these students to make much progress in the dungeon.
If they can clear the monsters near the entrance, even if they win...
