My chuunibyou self: All my fantasies have come true

They had already appeared in a huge space.

The place was bustling with noise; everywhere you looked, there were awakened individuals who had broken in.

[Instance World: The Nine-Layered Demon Tower!]

"Lu Jing!"

A familiar voice rang out.

Miao Miao stepped forward and looked at him in surprise.

"Weren't you off taking an exam?"

She walked over and, without saying a word, tapped Lu Jing on the head.

Cao Lihao wasn't particularly surprised to see Lu Jing arrive.

If you've been together for so long and still can't figure out each other's personalities, then you've wasted your time together.

Optimistic, though not very cheerful.

He's intelligent, but he talks like a madman.

He is ruthless and decisive, yet his heart is tender.

Sometimes, a person's values ​​are so righteous they seem wicked, making you doubt their staunch adherence to morality.

But sometimes, he seems like an ordinary person blending into the crowd, and you can't tell him apart at all.

This made him seem conflicted.

Always believe, never say the word "give up," and always maintain absolute confidence.

In other words, this kid's character is simply terrifying.

There was a large group of about fifty or sixty Awakened Ones gathered here.

With Lu Jing's arrival, the required number of people was finally reached.

The portal is closed.

A message appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Nine-Story Demon Tower

Please leave this area safely.

Before them appeared a staircase that seemed to be formed from endless darkness, leading to the second floor.

The width of this step is just right, neither too narrow and cramped nor too wide and empty.

In this dim light, one can vaguely see that the surface of the steps seems to be covered with some strange patterns, which are barely visible.

"It looks like we'll have to climb all nine levels in one go," Miao Miao said.

Cao Lihao nodded.

Not only them, but everyone present had the same thought.

Those awakened individuals who have the courage to enter this massive instance are all quite confident in their own strength.

They're all veterans.

This type of combat dungeon is all about the battles—it's awesome!!

The Nine-Story Demon Tower – you can tell just by the name.

Each floor will have a boss monster guarding it.

They need to keep going until they reach the ninth floor.

I just wonder how difficult this dungeon is...

The group was gathered together temporarily to facilitate their fight against the enemy.

Therefore, they elected the highest-ranking mage among them as the commander-in-chief and formulated a simple battle plan.

As for Cao Lihao and the other four, they are not on the official payroll.

Lu Jing also bumped into an acquaintance.

Big-faced cat!!

"Great God!"

Big-faced Cat's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Jing, and he quickly ran over.

"Why are you here too?"

Big-faced Cat scratched his head and chuckled, "I came with the guild leader."

It was quite a coincidence that Big Face Cat and his guild members came here for a meal, and unexpectedly they encountered such a huge dungeon.

Seeing the monsters surging out, they rushed in.

"I acted impulsively, without even knowing how difficult this dungeon is," said Big Face Cat. "This kind of massive dungeon is definitely not easy."

.............

Jiangnan City.

The Awakeners Guild.

As the portal closed, the energy also disappeared.

However, it had already detected the energy emanating from the portal as soon as it appeared.

The energy detection results are not very accurate, but they can still give a rough estimate.

The portal appeared without any warning, and monsters poured out on a massive scale once again.

The best solution, of course, is to bring in awakened individuals.

Once the portal closes, it should hold out for at least a while.

During this process, the monsters will no longer be able to escape.

This gave the guild time to organize manpower.

"This time, the teleportation portal... its initial assessment is Grade A!"

"Have you notified everyone?"

“Apart from those on vacation, almost all the awakened individuals above level 30 in Jiangnan City have arrived.”

Dungeons are generally classified into five levels: A, B, C, D, and E.

The corresponding Awakener level for E-rank dungeons is between tier 1 and 5.

Rank B dungeons feature Awakened Beings of ranks five to ten.

The level corresponding to an A-rank dungeon is 25.

However, it's not that awakened beings above level 25 can freely enter A-level dungeons.

In reality, the dungeon world is extremely dangerous.

Nobody knows what they'll encounter inside.

Therefore, according to the rules, you are only qualified to enter A-level dungeons when you reach level 25.

It's like playing a game; you only qualify to play ranked matches once you reach a certain level.

Remember, it's only about being eligible!

Can you guarantee a win in every ranked match?

Of course, if you lose a game, you lose.

But here, we lost.

It means death.

You must ensure that you win every single hand.

The Nine-Story Demon Tower.

[Danger! Danger!!]

The group finalized their plan and prepared to climb the steps.

Someone looked down and noticed the strange patterns on the steps.

It was faintly visible, but upon closer inspection, it was clearly filled with densely packed characters.

Just one sentence.

【Danger! 】

【Danger! 】

No one paid any attention to what they saw.

There are many similar intimidating prompts in combat-type dungeons.

Even though there's only one road ahead, it's marked with a warning of danger.
