Early the next morning.

Zhou Huai slowly woke up in bed.

Bringing three Avatars to frantically level up in the Secret Realm these past few days had indeed consumed a lot of mental energy.

This sleep was exceptionally sound.

He stretched and felt full of energy and refreshed.

Now that the situation of the three Avatars in the Abyss of Mist was temporarily stable, it was also time to check on Gandalf's progress.

Zhou Huai closed his eyes, his consciousness acting like an invisible radio wave that instantly crossed a thousand miles and descended upon Gandalf located in the Imperial Capital.

...

Imperial Capital Academy, first floor of the Dungeon Tower.

Points Exchange Area.

Gandalf was quietly standing in front of the counter.

The several staff members in front of him were all sweating profusely, flustered as they tallied the mountain-like pile of materials poured out from a Spatial Ring.

You could hear a pin drop in the entire exchange hall.

All the students waiting in line gazed with awe at that tall figure draped in a Star-Moon Robe.

After a long while.

The lead staff member wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and handed back an emptied Spatial Ring and a points card with both hands.

His voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling.

"Student Gandalf, all your materials have been counted, and this time a total of fifty-three thousand points have been exchanged."

"Please... please take care of them."

Swish—

A chorus of sharp gasps rang out in the crowd.

"Over fifty thousand points! My goodness! Has he emptied out the dungeon?"

"It is too exaggerated. I work hard to grind for a month and only get a few hundred points, his single exchange is hundreds of times mine!"

"As expected of the Demon King who ruled the National Examination, he is still as perverted after arriving at our Imperial Capital Academy!"

Controlling Gandalf, Zhou Huai took the card and expressed his thanks.

Through the memories shared by the Intellect Core AI, he learned that Gandalf would come over for a points exchange every two or three days.

Every time to count the materials he brought, the exchange office had to deploy at least five employees.

And the points from a single exchange by him were already the total amount many students could accumulate in a whole year.

Now, Gandalf's privileged points card had accumulated over two hundred thousand points.

This was definitely a huge fortune.

As Gandalf's deeds of soloing a fifty-person dungeon gradually spread within the academy, his "glorious deeds" on the National Examination from before were also dug up together.

Especially recently, new students began to report to the Imperial Capital Academy successively.

Some new students who had participated in the National Examination were almost scared out of their wits when they saw Gandalf on campus.

The fear of being dominated back on Triple Island still lingered in their hearts to this day.

"You guys didn't see it! This guy is completely unreasonable!"

A new student from Jinchuan Province was gesticulating wildly and accusing a few senior students.

"He is just like a Demon King, eliminating every team he sees on the island!"

"Those proud sons of heaven from the Imperial Capital and Modu joined forces and couldn't even last three rounds in his hands!"

Of course, many veteran students of the Imperial Capital Academy initially sneered when they heard such rumors.

Which of those who could enter the Imperial Capital Academy was not a proud son of heaven?

Which one did not have their own arrogance?

Just last week, a third-year senior with an S-Level class, confident in his own strength, publicly challenged Gandalf at the duel arena.

As a result, under the watch of thousands of students, that senior didn't even manage to cast a single skill.

Gandalf merely raised his staff.

That arrogant S-Level senior, looking at the slowly opening portal above his head burning with dim green flames, was scared into kneeling on the ground on the spot and actively surrendered.

From then on, the nickname "Demon King" completely spread within the Imperial Capital Academy.

Accompanying this was the curiosity and admiration of countless girls.

To catch a glimpse of the Demon King's appearance, crowds of senior female students guarded the entrance of the Dungeon Tower every day.

When they saw Gandalf's handsome yet cold face meticulously crafted by Zhou Huai, they logically fell for him.

His mysterious Star-Moon Robe and his arrogant expression of looking at everyone as if they were ants all fascinated these young girls whose hearts had just awakened to love.

Naturally, there were also bold senior female students who mustered the courage to step forward and strike up a conversation.

What they got in return was often just a single sentence.

"Foolish human, do not block my way."

"I have no interest in you."

After speaking, he walked away without looking back.

Leaving behind a group of girls cupping their cheeks with stars in their eyes.

"Wow! So aloof and cool!"

"Why is it that the more aloof he is, the more I like him!"

After finishing these memories shared by the AI, Zhou Huai himself was a bit dumbfounded.

Good grief.

Having stayed at the Imperial Capital Academy for less than a month, he had actually developed his own fan club.

However, now was not the time to consider these things.

Gandalf's Level had already reached Level 28.

There were only the last nine days left out of the thirty days stipulated by the challenge quest.

Wanting to raise his Level by two levels within nine days was not a simple matter.

Relying solely on that Level 25 fifty-person dungeon 【Defend Mofeiao Bridge】 was already hard to accomplish.

After the Level increased, the experience bonus for fighting monsters of a higher Level became less and less.

Zhou Huai had to find a more Advanced dungeon.

At the very least, it had to be Level 30.

Right at this moment, a huge crowd of people walked in from outside the tower, numbering over a hundred.

In the crowd, many people were discussing oathingly as they walked.

"Today we must clear that dungeon!"

"I think it's doubtful, the difficulty of that dungeon is too high, we've already failed four times."

"It doesn't matter! Even if we fail, it's fine just to let me take a few more glances at Old City Lord Chen Guanyi! Last time seeing him perish together with the BOSS to protect us made my eyes swollen from crying! This time I definitely won't let him die so easily!"

As they spoke, this group of people stepped onto the stairs one after another and walked upstairs.

Right at this moment, a beautiful figure in the crowd suddenly stopped.

She saw Gandalf standing in the Points Exchange Area, hesitated for a moment, and still walked over with a polite smile.

"Student Gandalf, how have you been these past few days?"

"Are you adapting to campus life?"

Zhou Huai recognized the other person; it was Lu Zhiyi, whom General Zhang had arranged to take care of him previously.

Because the Intellect Core AI had been controlling Gandalf during this time and acted too aloof, this enthusiastic senior sister hadn't dared to come find him much recently.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, she actually took the initiative to come over and greet him again.

Controlling Gandalf, Zhou Huai wore a faint smile on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister, I am doing very well."

A hint of obvious surprise appeared in Lu Zhiyi's clear eyes.

After all, a while ago, Gandalf even found her annoying and scolded her as a foolish human.

Today's attitude was simply like he had changed into a different person.

Zhou Huai looked at the large group of people behind her and took the initiative to ask.

"With so many of you, are you going to challenge a hundred-person dungeon?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhiyi nodded immediately, a bit of excitement also appearing on her face.

"Yes, the Dungeon Tower recently launched a Level 30 hundred-person dungeon with extremely high difficulty. Currently, not a single team has successfully cleared it."

"So we want to come and try challenging it again today."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something.

She looked at Student Gandalf and asked tentatively.

"Student Gandalf, do you... have any interest in trying it together with us?"
