I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Area A, Room 302, Luxury Single Apartment.

With a soft "beep", the electronic access control opened automatically.

Lin Yuan pushed open the door and entered, where a room with a minimalist style came into view.

Although it can't compare to the luxurious detached villas in S District, for Lin Yuan, who was used to living in old and dilapidated houses, this place was already comparable to a five-star hotel.

"Ready to move in, fully equipped."

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, tossed his backpack onto the sofa, and sank into the soft cushions.

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to rest.

On a whim, he opened his attribute panel.

After the frenzied slaughter in the college entrance exam dungeon and the final all-in stat allocation, his attributes have undergone a complete transformation.

Name: Lin Yuan

[Class: Unbreakable Bulwark (Giant Shield Knight)]

[Talent: Undying]

[Mana: 3780 (originally 1260)]

Active Skills: Shield Defense, Shield Bash, Taunt, Shockwave, Guardian Barrier, Savage Charge, Shield Throw, Life Strike, War Stomp

[Defense Point: 0]

Skill Points: 0

Looking at that long string of dazzling numbers, I'm in love!

Is this the joy of being a number-obsessed person?

However, when his gaze fell on the bottom column, "Defense Points: 0", his brows furrowed slightly.

"Unfortunately, in order to defeat the boss in this year's college entrance examination, I used up all the defense points that I had saved up for so long."

"Although I had a great time, I don't have any inventory now, and I feel uneasy about it."

For him, who possesses the talent of "Eternal Indestructibility".

Leveling up is important, but accumulating defense points is the key!

Level determines the lower limit, defense points determine the upper limit!

Moreover, the higher his level gets, the more difficult it will be to obtain defense points.

We must take advantage of the fact that our level isn't too high yet and grind as much as possible!

"I must go check out the school's dungeon hall tomorrow."

"Sigh, I wonder when the rewards from above will be issued."

"Hopefully, I can make it before I go to the Azure Island."

The next day, early in the morning.

The sunlight in the western border is always exceptionally bright.

Lin Yuan got up early, washed up quickly, and headed straight for the core area of ​​the War Academy, guided by the holographic map on his bracelet.

Dungeon lobby.

This is a giant domed building with an area equivalent to ten football fields.

Even though school hasn't officially started yet, the hall is still bustling with noise.

Countless trainees dressed in combat uniforms and carrying various weapons came and went, each exuding a fierce aura.

As soon as Lin Yuan entered the hall, he was stunned by the huge light screens.

The scrolling display shows information about various dungeons and completion records.

Instead of wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly, he went straight to the front desk service area.

"Hello, I would like to inquire about matters related to copies."

Lin Yuan knocked on the counter.

A sweet-looking, short-haired young lady in a uniform was sitting at the front desk.

She was organizing documents when she heard the sound and looked up.

She paused for a moment when she saw that Lin Yuan was not wearing any grade badge on his chest and that his face was completely unfamiliar.

"newborn?"

The young woman looked somewhat surprised.

School hasn't even started yet, so why are there already freshmen in the dungeon lobby?

Moreover, judging from his delicate skin, he doesn't seem like a ruthless person who has spent years on the battlefield.

However, out of professionalism, she still gave a standard smile: "Hello, I am the receptionist in the dungeon lobby. You can call me Xiao Li."

"Young man, is this your first time here?"

Lin Yuan nodded calmly: "Yes, I just enrolled and wanted to find a place to practice."

Xiao Li smiled and patiently explained, "Then I'll give you a brief introduction."

"In order to improve efficiency and to differentiate the needs of different students, the War Academy's dungeon system is very simple and straightforward, divided into only two categories."

She held up two fingers.

"Category 1: Public copies."

"These types of instances are open to everyone, and the tickets are very cheap, usually only 10-50 points."

"Its features include a huge map, scattered monster distribution, and..."

Xiao Li pointed to the crowded portal on the right side of the hall: "Everyone who enters is in the same map."

"This means you'll need to compete with other teams for monsters and resources, and there might even be conflicts."

"It is more suitable for freshmen to form teams and get used to each other in the early stages, or for students who have not yet accumulated points to practice."

Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

Fighting for monsters? Too many people?

That won't do.

He's here to farm defense points; he needs a lot of monsters to gang up on him.

If he just lured a bunch of monsters and someone else stole them with a single skill, wouldn't he be furious?

Moreover, the monsters in public dungeons are usually weaker, so if your level is not as high as theirs, how can you farm points?

"What about the second category?" Lin Yuan asked.

Xiao Li continued, "The second type is independent copies."

"This type of instance is a mirror space generated specifically for you or your squad."

"The main features are: no one is competing for monsters, and the monster density is relatively high."

"But correspondingly," Xiao Li paused, then emphasized, "the tickets are very expensive!"

"Even the lowest-level standalone dungeon requires 200 points to enter, and the higher-level ones can cost thousands."

"Moreover, because it's an enclosed space, if you encounter danger, no one can save you, and you can't get out in time, so you really will die inside."

After saying that, Xiao Li glanced at Lin Yuan and kindly reminded him, "Junior, if you're a freshman, I suggest you go to a public instance to get used to the pace first."

"Or find a few senior students to guide you, and split the ticket cost."

"The monsters in solo dungeons are very fierce, especially when soloing; it's easy to wipe."

Lin Yuan nodded and then said, "Could you please bring up the list of independent copies for me?"

"I want a dungeon with a huge number of monsters, a very high attack frequency, and preferably one that primarily uses physical attacks."

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment. Why did this new student have such a unique taste?

Everyone else picks the easy targets with fewer monsters, but why does he always choose the tough ones?

However, she still followed instructions and operated the screen as instructed.

Swish!

A long list of dungeons appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept quickly across the area.

Poisonous Swamp: Spell poison damage, pass, too slow.

Moreover, although he has some resistance to poison, he cannot completely eliminate all poisons.

Ghost Castle: Mental attack, pass, too few monsters.

"Rampage Wild Boar Forest": Physical collisions, moderate number, alternative.
