Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Reveal! (3/5) _1

With the end of today’s assessment, everyone boarded the bus and returned to campus.

Back at school, they bid each other farewell and went their separate ways home.

Chen Mo, however, headed in the opposite direction, intending to visit Su Tianxin’s office.

But he had only taken a few steps when someone tugged at his sleeve.

He turned curiously to see Shen Bingbing.

"What’s wrong, Bingbing? Is something the matter?" Chen Mo looked at her questioningly.

"Well, there’s something I wanted to ask you..."

"What is it?"

"Can your summoned Skeleton Monsters explode?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo’s pupils involuntarily shrank, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

"How did you know? I got a Skill Book for Exploding Skeleton Monsters. Indeed, my Skeleton Monsters do explode when they die."

"It’s because I heard a familiar explosion sound right before leaving the rule barrier. I was so nervous at the time that I didn’t immediately recognize where I’d heard it before. But after I got out, I thought about it carefully and remembered. When that red-named individual kidnapped you, it seemed like a Skeleton Monster died and then two explosions suddenly occurred. The sound of those explosions was very similar."

"You can even distinguish between different explosion sounds?"

Chen Mo was speechless. What kind of ears did she have? This wasn’t just a matter of hearing; it was a matter of talent.

"I’ve always been sensitive to various sounds since I was a child," Shen Bingbing said, blinking her beautiful eyes with a smile.

"Have you told anyone else about this?"

"No." Shen Bingbing shook her head. "It’s nothing. I was just curious. Don’t worry about it."

With that, Shen Bingbing turned and left, a subtle expression on her face.

Watching Shen Bingbing’s retreating figure, Chen Mo felt she had likely guessed bits and pieces of something. However, the matter was so incredible that she hadn’t said more. Still, only she knew about this, so it wasn’t a big deal.

In fact, Chen Mo wasn’t afraid of his Skeleton Monsters’ explosive ability being exposed. After all, the Examination was coming up soon, and he would have to display his skeleton abilities in front of others eventually. He simply didn’t want anyone to know he had been involved in killing The Master of Mutation.

Previously, he hadn’t wanted to reveal anything special about himself at all because he lacked self-preservation abilities. Once targeted, he would have been done for. But now that his self-preservation abilities had significantly improved, Chen Mo wasn’t as afraid anymore.

However, considering the various tricks Aliens employed, Chen Mo hadn’t become arrogant enough to expose himself and provoke them yet. Ignoring Shen Bingbing, he continued toward Su Tianxin’s office.

When he arrived at Su Tianxin’s office, she was the only one there, resting her chin on her hands, pouting out of boredom. Although an adult, she looked entirely like a cute young girl.

"Chen Mo, you’re here. Come in and sit." Seeing Chen Mo arrive, she immediately beckoned him over. Because of her excellent figure, as she waved, Chen Mo sensed something jiggling beneath Su Tianxin’s Priest robe.

Chen Mo bowed slightly before entering the office and sitting on a stool beside Su Tianxin.

"Chen Mo, we’ve discussed the Examination a few times, but those were mostly general discussions. Mainly because, at the time, I hadn’t considered that any of you would be able to achieve such a high ranking."

Su Tianxin was quite direct.

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but give a wry smile and say nothing more. So the teacher thought so little of our group, huh.

As if sensing Chen Mo’s thoughts, Su Tianxin pursed her red lips and continued, "It’s not that I look down on you. It’s that in a county-level environment, I know there are too many outstanding schools and students."

"Regarding the choice of dungeons for the Examination, the hardest one isn’t necessarily the best. Of course, in previous years, the top-ranked individuals always rushed to choose the highest difficulty Examination dungeons. They did this to obtain more bonus points for their college entrance examinations, making it easier for them to secure a place in top universities when they take the main college entrance exam."

"I know young people are proud, but five-star difficulty Examination dungeons are genuinely tough. The most difficult tasks inside can even reach S-level, and there are many formidable enemies.

Every year, the death rate in those dungeons exceeds 50%!

Although you have priority in choosing, I still recommend you select a safer dungeon."

Su Tianxin had specifically sought out Chen Mo for a private talk out of her sense of responsibility as a teacher and her care and concern for her student.

Never mind that Chen Mo was currently a Two-star Professional; even if he were a Four-star Professional, she would still advise him to choose a lower-difficulty dungeon.

Staying alive is more important than prospects. So many people have died in dungeons, their bodies left incomplete, making resurrection impossible even if desired. Su Tianxin herself had previously lost several beloved and promising students in five-star difficulty Examination dungeons. Their bodies were devoured so completely that even if just an arm was recovered, one could ask someone to use a higher-level resurrection technique to try and save them.

With the entire body gone, there was truly no way to save them, which is why she paid particular attention to Chen Mo’s choice. She had been young too and understood that feeling of youthful ardor; no one wants to fall behind, be they boys or girls.

The competitive spirit knows no gender. It was precisely for this reason that she worried Chen Mo might make a rash decision that would endanger him.

"Teacher, despite that, I still want to try a five-star difficulty dungeon."

Since his teacher cared for him so much, Chen Mo naturally didn’t want to hide too much. He could still reveal some of his abilities that were safe to disclose to his teacher.

Just as Su Tianxin was about to say more, Chen Mo suddenly took out a Magic Wand. As he deactivated its concealment effect, the surface of the Magic Wand instantly flashed with a brilliant Golden Light.

"A Golden-grade Magic Wand!?" Su Tianxin was taken aback. "Where did you get it?"

"I found it in a backpack my parents left behind. There were some other things in there too, quite suitable for me."

Hearing this, Su Tianxin wasn’t suspicious. She had inquired about Chen Mo’s parents; they were two Second-transition Professionals who had unfortunately both perished in a certain dungeon. Some said they had triggered a powerful Treasure Secret Realm, luring out a BOSS from within that secret realm whose difficulty far exceeded that of the dungeon, leading to their team’s annihilation.

Others felt that even if they couldn’t defeat the BOSS, at least one or two of them should have been able to escape. Yet, not a single one made it out. Perhaps they coincidentally encountered that dungeon when it had been converted into a Stars Dungeon and were killed in a pincer attack by the BOSS and Aliens.

Stars Dungeons only have a chance to manifest from B-Class or higher dungeons with high-level restrictions. Once a dungeon transforms into a Stars Dungeon, it becomes accessible for joint adventure by multiple Star Systems. This means one might encounter Alien Professionals.

When the civilizations of two different Star Systems collide in a dungeon world rife with extreme conflicts of interest, the outcome is predictable. According to the dark forest principle, both sides would find it hard to believe the other wouldn’t attack them, so naturally, there was little possibility of coexistence.

Forget Aliens—even people from the same planet, from the same country, might backstab each other in the wilderness if significant interests arise! Therefore, once an Adventurer enters a Stars Dungeon, they are truly surrounded by perils from all directions!
