Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

10 minute later.

The boundary marker shone brightly, and Teacher Zhou Na walked out, gritting her teeth.

Behind him followed Zhang Yun, who looked worried.

Although he had taken 90% of the monsters in the dungeon, there was no joy on his face.

During this dungeon run, the little skeletons killed about 90 bronze dire wolves and 8 silver wolves. Except for the final boss, which I gave up on, I almost got the maximum experience.

But he could clearly feel that his experience bar had only increased by less than ten percent...

Based on this ratio, even if he cleared the Milotau Palace twice, it still wouldn't be enough to reach the peak of the fifth stage of the first tier...

However, to advance to the Bronze Codex, one must be at the peak of the fifth stage of the first tier, which greatly troubled Zhang Yun...

"Noriko, why is my experience gaining so slowly all of a sudden?" he asked himself silently.

The loli voice of the Codex Elf rang out immediately:

【That's perfectly normal!】

[Because the level from Tier 1, Stage 5 to its peak has been classified as Bronze tier, the required experience points are the sum of the other five levels.]

Even if you run the Milotau dungeon twice more, you still won't reach the maximum level.

To raise your rank to the peak of Tier 1, Stage 5, you'll need to hunt monsters in the wild.

Of course, you can also choose not to risk going out, stay in the city, and wait for the boundary marker challenge attempts to refresh next week.

"I can't wait that long."

"I only have three days left. By the time the boundary markers are refreshed next week, it'll be too late!"

"I have to go out into the wild and give it my all, try to max out my level within three days!"

The levels of monsters in the wild are not fixed, and they can be quite dangerous.

If you're going hunting in the wild, it's best to consult someone beforehand and choose areas with low risk to ensure your safety.

Seek advice...

Zhang Yun turned to look at Teacher Zhou Na, who was beside him, feeling utterly hopeless after being defeated by him. This teacher had the attributes of a tool, so she should be able to provide some useful information, right?

Zhang Yun tentatively asked, "Teacher, do you know where I can farm a lot of monsters?"

"How would I know? I've never been to the wilderness."

Teacher Zhou Na rolled her eyes at Zhang Yun, wishing she could pounce on him and bite him to death.

She had originally planned to use her black-clad speed-attack ninja skills to overwhelm this genius student in the dungeon and deflate his arrogance.

This will make it easier to manage him in the future.

Good heavens... this kid is a master at feigning weakness. He wiped out a small skeleton in the dungeon, taking down all the big and small monsters in one fell swoop.

They didn't give her any face at all.

Moreover, he was incredibly skilled at controlling the Codex with his Soul Technique, turning it into a devastating weapon for carrying bricks. He could slap a dire wolf from a distance, and its brains would explode with each hit.

Teacher Zhou Na recalled that after she first learned the Soul Technique, it took her more than a month of practice before she could barely kill a slime with the Codex.

This guy is something else; in less than a few hours, he was able to clear out the Bronze Dire Wolves using the Codex.

If he were to practice this for ten days or half a month, wouldn't he kill her, his teacher, with a single blow?

Although Ms. Zhou Na is only a mediocre teacher, she is still a respectable person with a sense of shame. How could she bear to be compared to her students like this? Why did she do this?

If this gets out, where will she put her face?

Zhang Yun was preoccupied with how to improve the level of his codex and didn't notice Zhou Na's dark expression. He asked, "Are you free this afternoon? Shall we team up to raid the Milotau Dungeon?"

"Who has time to grind dungeons with you? What else can you do besides belittle others?" Teacher Zhou Na crossed her arms and turned her face away.

Zhang Yun assumed she was angry because she had lost the bet, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Teacher, please don't be angry. It was wrong of me to steal the monster just now, but experience is really important to me, so please forgive me."

"Lunch is on me. You can eat wherever you like, how about that?"

"I'm not eating anymore! I'm already full of anger! If you want to eat, go eat it yourself!"

Teacher Zhou Na summoned a bronze dire wolf, flipped it over, and snorted, "Rooms 1000-1050 in the dormitory building are the dormitory area for Class 10 of our first year of high school. If you want to stay there, you need to go to the dormitory building tonight to report for duty."

After saying that, Teacher Zhou Na urged the bronze dire wolf to run away quickly, leaving Zhang Yun standing bewildered in front of the boundary marker.

"Why is Teacher Zhou angry again? We made a bet..."

That's what's so scary about women; you never know what you did to offend them, and they just go crazy.

Don't ever date women again, it's too much trouble. Grinding monsters is much more comfortable.

"That's for sure."

"Fighting monsters makes me stronger, but spending time with women only adds trouble."

Zhang Yun shook his head, putting Teacher Zhou Na to the back of his mind. He summoned the bronze dire wolf that his cousin had given him and leaped onto it.

Where are you headed now?

Zhang Yun thought for a moment and replied, "Let's go to Heilong Company first and pay off the 80 yuan loan, so that the debt collectors won't call us every few days."

"After I pay off the loan, I'll go to the mall, buy Kaka a few outfits, and feed Tyrant lunch."

"I'm going to No. 2 Middle School this afternoon to paint the Milotau Palace."

"If I can't reach the fifth stage of the first tier, then I'll have to ask Manager Lin Yan for advice."

"As one of the major trading companies in Jiangcheng, Lin's Trading Company should have its own team of hunters. Let's see if we can get some information about hunting in the wild from her."

[Clear thinking, let's get started!]

"Walk!"

A thought flashed through Zhang Yun's mind, and the bronze dire wolf's eyes gleamed green as it sped off...

...

...

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Yun arrived in front of an old office building.

This building is sandwiched between two card material shops, with a very narrow storefront and only a dusty glass door.

A faded sign hangs above the door – “Black Dragon Loans”.

Several yellowed interest rate notices were pasted on the glass door, the edges of which were curled up, making it look no different from any other inconspicuous small loan company on the street.

But all the shopkeepers on the street know that this place has a dirty past.

Zhang Yun pushed open the glass door.

The receptionist was a heavily made-up woman who was looking down at her phone. She only lazily raised her eyelids when she heard the door open.

She glanced at Zhang Yun's school uniform, her gaze lingering for a moment on the dozing slime on his shoulder, a warm smile appearing on her lips.

"Excuse me, are you looking to apply for a loan?"

"I'm asking Brother Long to repay the loan."

"Brother Long?"

The receptionist raised an eyebrow, gave him another once-over, and then stood up unhurriedly: "You sit and wait here. I'll go ask if Mr. Chen is here."

She walked slowly down the back corridor, swaying her large buttocks as she wore high heels.

About a minute later, the sound of high heels started again, and the receptionist returned to the front desk.

"Brother Long isn't here. Why don't you give him a call and ask?"

"it is good."

Zhang Yun took out his phone from his pocket, found the number saved as "Brother Long," and dialed it...
