Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 968 Thirty-five. The knocking door

   Holy Light Team needs Sequence 39 Potion.

   Yeager advanced the progress of mysticism, Naxi conducted the 5th level trial of strange knowledge, Kiruat and Margaret successively upgraded their major to 6th level, all for the 39th serial potion——

   "When we reach level 6, we can access more advanced squad tasks, earn more credits and exchange materials for team points to exchange for No. 39 potion."

  ——and the plan after getting the potion.

   "Once we get the potion, we can enter the newly discovered dungeon and get precious treasures." Kiruat told Lu Li without any concealment.

  Dungeon, a term used in fantasy story books.

The term   , which usually appears in stories, was borrowed by the Giant Tree Academy and given a new meaning.

  The old sewer is divided into main line, branch line and dark line.

  The dark line is dedicated to the weird, or connecting the main line branch, or almost closed independent cave.

  The earth can hide everything.

  The swamp lies between the roots of the giant trees and the old sewers.

  Because of the three-dimensional structure of the old sewer, this kind of dark lines like the branches of a tree, the branches of the branches, and the leaves growing on the branches can be seen everywhere.

   When Giant Tree Academy finds them, they will be graded. If it is too dangerous, it will be cleaned or weakened until it is suitable for a certain difficulty, and then traces and treasures will be left, allowing the Academy students to explore freely.

   At this time, the dark line will become [Dungeon].

   Nonetheless, dungeons are only for high school adventures. The simplest dungeon for middle grades is also a challenge that can be downsized.

   Only squads at the top of the leaderboard can explore the dungeon as unharmed as possible.

  The Light Team accidentally discovered this undiscovered dungeon. Before selling her spot to a top squad or senior, Margaret finds a way to get into dungeons by trickery.

   And this requires the assistance of No. 39 Pharmacy.

  Sedation Forest: It can make the person who takes it feel as unobtrusive as a tree.

   After taking the potion, Margaret will be able to sneak into the dungeon and retrieve the treasure without being noticed by the weird.

   "What is a treasure."

   "Anything is possible. Homologues, weird eggs, serial potions... some are put in by the Academy, and some are owned by the dungeon monster itself. But the treasures of the lowest level dungeons are also worth more than serial potion No. 39!"

   "What's more important is the academy rating after completing the dungeon!" Kiruat left her seat and sat back on her bed: "According to the difficulty and performance of the dungeon, the academy will give credits and team points, as well as other rewards."

  The indifferent Margaret continued: "Including but not limited to congeners, offerings, entry qualifications for restricted areas, and entry qualifications for cursed title acquisition areas."

   The last item really caught Lu Li's attention.

  Lu Li summoned the businessman Anthony to give priority to purchasing the 39th Sequence Potion.

   "Premium allowed."

  Although the shilling is a common currency, human society and the old sewers are more inclined to use weird currency or other serial potions as superior currency.

   After all, because of its preciousness, serial potions can be used as precious currencies, such as gold in the old days. Weird money circulates among weirdness.

   Merchant's "Contribution Points" can also be counted as currency. However, the limited number of merchants and the scale of trade are difficult to expand.

   Waiting for the businessman Anthony to leave, Lu Li asked about the transfer from the team to the middle grades themselves.

   In addition to the leaderboards, dungeons, squads, and squad points that he already knew, Lu Li learned more about the rules for middle grades.

   For example, the lessons that took up the entire day in the lower grades were compressed to only three days a week in the middle grades.

   In fact, the main task of middle-grade professors is no longer to impart knowledge, but to maintain order as a referee, and to lay the foundation for the "mentor system" of senior grades.

  Lu Li's first class will be three days later. During this time, Kiruat and Jaeger led Lu Li to familiarize himself with the environment and rules of the middle grades.

  The bookshelves were placed against the wall, and Lu Li's luggage was also brought to his bed by the attentive Kiruat - the deepest and safest corner of the lounge.

  If you encounter foreign enemies, Luli Bed is the last place to be attacked.

   It was Margaret who slept here before Lu Li arrived. She refused Lu Li's refusal, removed her crucible alchemy materials and bedding, and moved to the penultimate bed.

   Although the lounge is spacious enough, and even the lounge area has a fireplace and surrounding seating, there is no room divider, and the bed frame drapery is the only item for privacy.

   The five beds of the Holy Light Team have all been occupied. The lounge was empty enough for Fudot to place a new bed after joining the squad as a substitute.

   Later, Lu Li saw the last player: Naf.

  Nuff, who regretted the failed trial, washed away all his troubles due to the arrival of Lu Li, and even prepared a late-night sumptuous dinner in the lounge.

  Margaret's alchemy hanging pot was boiling with the aroma of broth. The five people gathered around the hanging pot and the fireplace, listening to and telling their stories, and then falling asleep with anticipation.

   "Morning" arrives.

   Usually, the Holy Light team will select tasks at this time, return to the lounge to rest after completion, and then select tasks again, repeating this process to accumulate strength, experience, team points and credits.

   But due to the appearance of the dungeon and Lu Li, the team members waiting for the 39th Sequence Potion became idle.

   There is also Lu Li. The arrival of the controller was delayed. Professor Chris received news that they were hunting a "big guy" to surprise Lu Li.

   That night, the merchant Anthony brought back the No. 39 potion at a premium.

  Lu Li instructed the merchants to hoard strange currencies to facilitate subsequent trade and planning.

  The shilling of the Weird Age. It is more used to buy basic resources than arcane resources. Having the shilling as the core of the gold standard with pegged contribution points is obviously inferior to the weird currency.

   is responsible for taking Potion No. 39, and the one who sneaks into the dungeon will be Margaret.

   "Margaret is relatively slow..." Kiruat changed his words under the sudden indifference: "I mean lack of emotion... The chance of sneaking into the dungeon with the silent forest is higher."

   With other potions ready, Margaret left the lounge alone.

   Kiruat regretted not being able to go in a squad in order to hide his actions, and was excited by the upcoming dungeon reward.

   The excitement didn't disappear until Margaret returned a day later.

   "Maybe we encountered another team?" Kiruat hesitated to say to himself.

   "Does it matter?" Lu Li asked.

   "Snatching and fighting are not prohibited." Jaeger said instead: "It is said that the senior squad will even fight..."

   "Academy doesn't ban?"

   "Prohibited, of course, but it's the same as cheating. As long as no one knows... No, we have to find-"

   knock knock --

   The knock on the door rang at this time. Girouette, who felt a little relieved, prayed that Margaret would return and open the door.

  The indifferent gatekeeper stood outside the corridor and announced coldly: "Margaret Lori, a member of the Holy Light Team, died while challenging the dungeon."

   "Margaret...no...it can't be...she..."

   Kiruat slumped in front of the door in despair. Jaeger showed pain and sadness, and Naxi's fists kept clenching and loosening.

   Lu Li was silent and quiet.

   This was the first lesson that Trunks gave him.
