Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After exiting the Forest of Fallen Giants dungeon, Lin Ye immediately took out his phone and logged into his QQ account. He then opened the chat with his class teacher, Gan Le.
[Teacher, there’s a troublesome matter…]
[The Cursemancer Boss in the Forest of Fallen Giants… I killed it…]
When Gan Le read the message, he was instantly dumbfounded.
[Gan Le: ???]
[Gan Le: What?]
[Gan Le: How did it happen? Tell me everything!]
Lin Ye didn’t plan on hiding it to begin with anyway, so he wrote…
[After I defeated the Cursemancer, the system notified me that I had completed the Forest of Fallen Giants’ final quest. Then, it told me that the Boss disappeared from the dungeon.]
[The Forest of Fallen Giant dungeon’s difficulty has also been downgraded to normal.]
Gan Le was even more dumbfounded with each incoming text.
[Gan Le: Ah… That quest… To kill the Hex Teacher without any injury… ]
[Gan Le: Wait! Did you receive a Hive-like Entry Pass?]
Lin Ye wasn’t surprised by his teacher’s knowledge of this.
[I did]
[That was the item I got after I beat the Hex Teacher]
[The notification mentioned something about getting in touch with an existence called Original Sin Scholar Andal in order to open the door to the Hive-like realm.]
The Forest of Fallen Giants was a secret land fragment, and honey was a large-scale secret dungeon that had restricted entry. Anyone who had a little understanding of this secret dungeon’s background had a guess that they could get a pass once they completed the Forest of Fallen Giants secret quest.
Naturally, Gan Le, who had been Lin Ye’s class teacher for three years, immediately came to the same conclusion.
Lin Ye didn’t need to hide anything from him.
Or rather, Lin Ye didn’t want to hide it from his teacher. He wanted to tell Gan Le about it so that he could get help from the school…
[Gan Le: F*ck!]
[Gan Le: I mean awesome!]
[Gan Le: You’re really something, kid!]
[Gan Le: Wait, I’ll report this to the school first, and then the school will report it to the Professional Alliance. Someone will contact you soon!]
[Gan Le: They will tell you the method to enter Hive-like.]
“…”
Seeing that things were going as he expected, Lin Ye had something else to asked,
[Lin Ye: Teacher, do you know the background of Hive-like?]
[Gan Le: Can’t say that I’ve heard a lot about it. Hive-like is a large-scale Hell mode secret dungeon, and our Forest of Fallen Giant is just a small part of it.]
[Gan Le: There are also maps in there like the Forgotten Cage, Hyde Fire Tower, Black Stream Valley, and so on.]
[Gan Le: And each map has several Secret Dungeon Bosses. It’s simply impossible to clear all of them in one go…]
[Gan Le: And… That’s it.]
[Gan Le: Sadly, I don’t know any more details regarding these maps or anything else relating to Hive-like.]
[Gan Le: After all, this is a restricted large-scale secret dungeon. Most of its information won’t be disclosed to the public. You’d better wait for the Professionals from the Alliance to come so you can ask them yourself.]
[Lin Ye: Okay.]
[Lin Ye: But will the Forest of Fallen Giants’ level downgrade affect the school?]
[Lin Ye: After all this is still the school’s public property…]
[Gan Le: It won’t.]
[Gan Le: If anything, I say it’s a good thing.]
[Gan Le: The Cursemancer has already dissuaded several batches of students from our school.]
[Gan Le: And thanks to your hard work]
[Gan Le: Students won’t be affected by its terrifying strength or choose to give up the college entrance examination in the future.]
[Gan Le: I think the principal will even publicly commend you for this.]
[Gan Le: He had occasionally mentioned whether we should seal up that dungeon to prevent the students from coming into contact with the Cursemancer during the staff meetings.]
[Gan Le: But I’m also worried about the public opinion and pressure from the outside world on canceling the Instance Dungeon…]
Lin Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he read that. It was good that the school won’t receive any lash back.
Then, after sending an “OK” sticker and saying some words of thanks to his teacher, he ended their conversation.
Meanwhile, on Gan Le’s side, he had maintained the professionalism of his occupation.
Not only did he not ask Lin Ye for the technique to defeat the Cursemancer without getting injured, but he also didn’t ask Lin Ye if he received any other rewards other than the Hive-like Entry Pass.
As a teacher, Gan Le’s mission was to teach students how to become Professionals and how to survive in the dangerous plane of Instance Dungeons.
This kind of matter that involved the student’s personal privacy (Awakened Talent and preparation for the college entrance examination) was absolutely not his business.
Well, unless the students themselves were willing to take the initiative to tell him.
But… This wasn’t a problem for Gan Le.
Meanwhile… Lin Ye’s QQ side account was exploding with messages.
[Fanatic Zhang San (Note: Zhang San): Brother Lin, let me tell you something. The video of you beating up Huang Shaofeng has gone viral on Jiang City’s public forum. Many people are tearing you apart, saying that you’re just a small town boy who only wants to take the college entrance examination by using crooked ways. You should start with some strength, blah, blah… ]
[Fanatic Zhang San (Note: Zhang San): Oh, that’s right!]
[Fanatic Zhang San (Note: Zhang San): Brother Lin, you must have heard of Shangguan Yan, right?]
[Fanatic Zhang San (Note: Zhang San): He’s the new Spirit Charm Sect leader. He said he wanted to get to know you, so he’s asking for your contact info. He also wanted to spar with you!]
[Fanatic Zhang San (Note: Zhang San): Do you want me to give him your contact info?]
…
[ChickenSoupWasHere (Note: Gu Yun): Boss Lin Ye, I’ve already passed the mushroom swamp dungeon. The guide you gave me had absolutely no problem. I literally just did exactly what it said and passed everything.]
[ChickenSoupWasHere (Note: Gu Yun): The only thing that’s off with your calculation is the time, and there are some changes in the details of the map.]
[ChickenSoupWasHere (Note: Gu Yun): Although it doesn’t affect me, I still recorded all the new places and sent them to your email.]
[ChickenSoupWasHere (Note: Gu Yun): Take a look when you have time.]
…
[LongLiveLily: Boss Lin Ye, I caught a guy who secretly sold your strategy at a low price. He’s a student from Class 3. His name is Cao Yuan and he’s also in our group. His ID is “I’m_Gourmet_ol’_eight”.]
[LongLiveLily: So what do you want me to do?]
[LongLiveLily: Do you want me to hammer him?]
…
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Other user is not your friend): Lin Ye, this is Huang Shaofeng. I’ll remember what you’ve done to me today!]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Other user is not your friend): Just you wait!]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Other user is not your friend): I’ll definitely come back for revenge!]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Other user is not your friend): And when that time comes, I won’t show you any mercy! I’ll show my true strength and have a one-on-one fight with you!]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Other user is not your friend): Once I defeat you once for all, you’ll understand the difference between you and me is like the difference between heaven and earth!]
…
Lin Ye read through his QQ messages feeling a little bewildered.
More specifically by this random chat from that rich brat.
‘What the hell?’
‘Huang Shaofeng, are you a cockroach in your past life or something?’
Why is he still lingering around?
Besides, didn’t Huang Tianqi cut off your internet connection and put you in confinement?
‘How can you contact me on QQ?’
Could maybe… This kid sneaked out?
With curiosity brimming in his mind, Lin Ye replied to the other boy.
[Huang Shaofeng, you’ve escaped from prison?]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Note: Cockroach Shaofeng): F*ck you!]
As expected, Huang Shaofeng replied in a foul mood.
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Note: Cockroach Shaofeng): After I got into trouble with you this morning, a useless Abyssal Demon has set his eyes on me and wants to turn me into a Fallen. I’m now being investigated by the Professional Alliance in Rivertown. I’ll help them track down the traces of that useless Abyssal Demon!]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Note: Cockroach Shaofeng): I log on to my QQ using someone else’s phone to send you this threat!]
Lin Ye was stunned.
[What?]
[You’re saying…]
[An Abyssal Demon wants to turn you into a Fallen?]
[And you resisted the temptation?]
[And took the initiative to turn yourself in?]
Huang Shaofeng continued,
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Note: Cockroach Shaofeng): Of course I refused! It’s just a useless evil demon called Mei Gao. He’s a group of lowly rats that don’t even dare to show their true bodies in front of humans. Do you think he’s worthy of making me, Huang Shaofeng, submit to them?]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Note: Cockroach Shaofeng): Hmph!]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Note: Cockroach Shaofeng): This is really ridiculous!]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Note: Cockroach Shaofeng): I, Huang Shaofeng, was born to be the main character. I have money. I have power. I’m more handsome and talented than anyone else on this earth. Who can compare to me?]
[The_Sun_In_Spring (Note: Cockroach Shaofeng): How dare you imply that I need to rely on that piece of trash to prove myself?]
