23 Instance Dungeon Hall

Since he could not enter the secret realm, Mo Xiao had no choice but to go back.

Originally, he intended to continue leveling up in this Deadman's Canyon.

However, the Dragon God's Descent had almost insta-killed all the monsters in the entire canyon.

Although they could respawn, the efficiency was too low.

Moreover, Mo Xiao now understood.

If he wanted to level up quickly, he had to kill elite monsters or bosses.

The experience gained from these ordinary small monsters was simply too little.

Even if he fought them after leveling up by 10 levels, the experience given was pitiful.

Moreover, the experience gap between levels was exaggerated.

Even if he spent day and night grinding monsters in the wilderness, he probably wouldn't level up much.

"No wonder so many people want to go to secret realms and dungeons, the leveling speed in the wilderness is too low…"

Mo Xiao looked around and muttered to himself: "I should ask the teacher about dungeons when I go back."

…

By the time Mo Xiao returned to the base city, it was already completely dark.

He had originally planned to find the class teacher to ask about the dungeons.

However, since it was already nighttime, Mo Xiao decided to go home and rest.

After all, today was Mo Xiao's first day in this transmigration, and although the feeling of fighting monsters and leveling up was indeed exhilarating, the appearance of various events also made Mo Xiao mentally exhausted.

Following the memories left by the original owner, Mo Xiao quickly returned to his shabby low-rent apartment.

"My predecessor really lived in a run-down place…" Looking at the old and dilapidated house, Mo Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's worse than the rented room I lived in my past life.

"Sigh, when I sell the materials tomorrow, I should have quite a bit of money. I'll find a better place to live then. After all, I'm a rare professional. I can't live so shabbily."

Talking to himself, Mo Xiao collapsed onto the bed.

Immediately,an intense feeling of exhaustion surged over him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, outside the instance dungeon Hall in Yicheng Base City.

"Lord Mayor, are you sure you want all the new students to directly enter the dungeon for leveling tomorrow? Although the dungeon provides more experience, there are far more elite monsters and mini-bosses inside compared to outside!"

Jiang Shan, with his hands in his pockets, said with a complicated expression.

The Mayor sighed lightly. "It's still safer than outside."

Hearing this, Jiang Shan's eyes slightly changed. "Did you receive any information?"

"Yeah, the news from above is that those guys from the otherworld have done something to hinder our development. It's not just today; from now on, every day may have those kinds of elite monsters, and they will only become stronger." The Mayor nodded gently.

Jiang Shan's expression became solemn. "Do they want to suppress our strength?"

"That's about it. Even if we always have top-tier professionals guarding, we can't protect all the newcomers well, especially the powerful newcomers who act alone. We don't even know when and where they go." The Mayor had a serious expression. "So, it's better to let them enter the dungeon early. Our Mayor's Office will pay a price and give some benefits to the newcomers."

While saying this, the Mayor kept looking at Jiang Shan.

Seeing the Mayor's gaze, Jiang Shan couldn't help but laugh. "Stop it. I know what that look in your eyes means. You want the Jiang family to contribute money and effort!"

"Hehe, the instance dungeon hall in our Base City was established by your Jiang family and… that guy together. There's a lot of profit involved. Just take out a little, consider it benefiting the masses." The Mayor chuckled. "Besides, even if I don't adjust the dungeon level restrictions now, the higher-ups will demand it in a couple of days."

Jiang Shan gave him a speechless glance. "I'm not the family head. It's not up to me to decide. Why don't you go talk to him yourself?"

"I don't want to get beaten up. I'm entrusting this matter to you. Say hi to my elder sister for me. I'm leaving." With that, the Mayor wanted to slip away.

"Wait! I want something from you."

"No problem! As long as you help me handle Big Brother, I'll give you anything you want!" the Mayor said generously.

Jiang Shan squinted his eyes slightly. "Give me what that person left behind."

"… " The Mayor was momentarily stunned, looking at Jiang Shan with a somewhat strange expression. "You encountered that kid?"

Jiang Shan nodded. "He's even more extraordinary than before. Keeping this thing won't do you any good. Return it to his family. When this kid reaches a higher level, he might remember your favor."

The Mayor sighed. "A favor? It would be good enough if he doesn't hold a grudge against me…"

With that, the Mayor shook his head slightly and casually tossed a small bag into Jiang Shan's hand. "Give it to him in the name of your Jiang family. I'm entrusting this kid to you. I hope to see him in the national college entrance examination in two months."

"With his abilities, not only will he be present in the national college entrance examination, but he will also undoubtedly secure the first position."

Watching the Mayor leave, Jiang Shan smiled faintly, but suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky above the instance dungeon hall. "What do you say, Sister-in-law? Shall we pay a price?"

As Jiang Shan's voice resounded, a graceful woman slowly appeared on the roof of the instance dungeon hall. Her appearance was seven parts similar to Jiang He's, and she quietly watched the departing Mayor. "Hmph, this guy is still the same. His scheme is as clear as day!"
