National Awakening: My Left Eye Copies My Right Eye and Sublimates

42: Freeloading is happiness!Xia Qi didn’t know what Yun Qingyue was thinking, but seeing her tears welling up because of a staff, he found it a bit magical.

She was a rich young lady, one of the top two in Jiangcheng at that.

Was it really necessary to be so excited over a bronze-grade staff?

“Let’s go.”

Shaking his head, Xia Qi stepped into the teleportation gate, appearing directly at the dungeon entrance.

After the two teamed up, the experience points were split, so it was a bit regrettable that they couldn’t reach Rank 15.

However, the Materials and equipment were all stored in his spatial storage without any reduction.

Roughly calculating, the value of this batch of Materials still remained in the six million range.

This was his third time entering the dungeon today, which meant he had already made a small profit of eighteen million within a single day.

If this were a few days ago, when he made the bet with Su Yuanchen, this would undoubtedly be an astronomical sum.

After all, he only earned over a million a day back then, so it would take at least half a month to earn this much.

He glanced at the dungeon’s natural cooldown time again; there were still nine hours until it reset.

Based on their previous speed, clearing the dungeon in 25 minutes, Yun Qingyue’s Rune Reset Stone still had eight reset opportunities.

Four hours would be more than enough to finish the battle.

At this moment, Yun Qingyue, holding the Mithril Staff, also exited the dungeon.

The Pure Silver Staff emitted a faint white glow, and combined with Yun Qingyue’s attire today, she truly had a loli-like appearance.

If she had twin ponytails, her head-turning rate would definitely be extremely high.

“How is it? Does it look good?”

Twirling the staff in front of Xia Qi, Yun Qingyue asked with a shy expression.

“It’s got that vibe,” Xia Qi commented objectively, stroking his chin.

Yun Qingyue’s foundation was excellent; even without makeup, her beauty was like a clear lotus, truly beautiful, otherwise she wouldn’t have been called the campus belle by so many students of No. 1 Middle School.

“Sometimes I really don’t understand what you mean, but I guess you’re probably complimenting me.”

Yun Qingyue didn’t understand the trendy slang Xia Qi used, but she could tell.

“Then you really are a clever little thing.”

“Thank you for the compliment, my parents always say I’m very smart too.”

Proudly tilting her fair chin, Yun Qingyue said with great pride.

Xia Qi didn’t reply, but was instead drawn by the surging waves beneath her magic robe.

Suddenly, he felt he had misjudged.

Because the Yun Family’s special magic robe was relatively loose, Yun Qingyue’s figure was somewhat concealed.

Just now, a movement from Yun Qingyue allowed Xia Qi to see everything clearly.

That size, it might not be inferior to Teacher Lina’s!

“What are you thinking about?”

Yun Qingyue, already used to Xia Qi’s occasional dazes, asked curiously.

“I’m thinking, can your Physique hold up? After all, we’re going to use up all the dungeon entries tonight.”

Perfectly picking up the conversation, Xia Qi quickly averted his gaze.

“Don’t worry, I’m not as delicate as you imagine.”

Although Yun Qingyue was pampered, she had a strong personality and never gave up.

“Besides, after upgrading, my Physique will be fully restored, so it’s fine.”

“That’s right, then let’s continue.”

Xia Qi said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Her words sounded like a little wife, but Xia Qi didn’t take it to heart. Instead, he and Yun Qingyue once again used the Rune Reset Stone to reset the dungeon progress.

A minute later, the two re-entered the nightmare difficulty Zombie Mine dungeon.

“My apologies, Brother Corpse King, I might have to kill you eight more times tonight.”

Xia Qi apologized in his heart. He had only planned to run it three more times before, but because of the Rune Reset Stone, his plan changed.

Upon their second entry, Yun Qingyue’s state had clearly changed significantly.

Her acceptance had grown stronger, and she no longer found the monsters as terrifying.

Without even needing Xia Qi’s reminder, she took the lead and started running, learning from Xia Qi’s previous method of pulling monsters.

“She learns quite fast,” Xia Qi exclaimed with a smile, quickly following to pull monsters together.

This monster-pulling operation wasn’t actually complicated; it only required attention to the monster spacing and maintaining speed, and others could also do it.

But no one would do it like Xia Qi, first, because every time an Awakener enters a dungeon, they are on the edge of life and death, and a single mistake can cost them their life.

Secondly, in team dungeons, this kind of operation is actually detrimental to killing monsters and would harm teammates.

Therefore, the only ones who can truly implement this monster-pulling method are high-Rank players farming low-Rank dungeons; otherwise, it’s absolutely impossible to operate this way in a dungeon of the same Rank.

Only Xia Qi could be so unconventional, daring to face thousands of same-Rank monsters alone.

This time, due to Yun Qingyue’s high level of cooperation, the two gathered monsters even faster.

Clearing the upper level of the mine only took eight minutes, and the lower level plus the Silver-skinned Corpse King only took twelve minutes in total.

In total, the battle ended in exactly twenty minutes.

After clearing this wave of dungeons, both of them gained a Rank, Yun Qingyue to Rank 13, and Xia Qi to Rank 15.

After defeating the Silver-skinned Corpse King, Xia Qi didn’t rush to leave the dungeon. Instead, he first opened his attribute panel to check the attribute changes after Rank 15.

【Fire Sea: Burning the heavens and destroying the earth, consuming all things, Fire Sea covers a hundred-meter radius.】

Finally reaching Rank 15, entering a higher education institution was now a certainty.

At the same time, the admission threshold for Shengjing University was not far off.

And now, there were still twenty-four days until the college entrance examination, ample time, enough for Xia Qi to continue improving significantly.

However, after reaching Rank 15, as expected, the experience gain rate slowed down again.

He had originally thought that after this run, he would gain at least ten percent experience, but it was only five percent.

“There are still six dungeon runs left; I should be able to reach Rank 16, right?”

With this thought, Xia Qi and Yun Qingyue re-entered the dungeon, continuing to replicate their previous strategy.

After upgrading, both of them had their Physique and spirit restored to full, so they didn’t worry about fatigue. They just needed to keep grinding.

After their Rank increased, Xia Qi’s Thunder power grew even stronger.

Their clearing speed became faster and faster. Even Yun Qingyue, after her Rank increased, became bolder and bolder, helping Xia Qi clear some missed small monsters.

Round and round, an hour and a half later, the Rune Reset Stone’s uses were exhausted.

The two finally completed all six runs.
