Zuo Lin'an looked at him in surprise, feeling like his brain couldn't quite keep up.
“Wait!”
An Wen suppressed a laugh.
“What? You don't want a second Domain Rule?”
Of course Zuo Lin'an wanted one.
But that wasn't something he should be thinking about right now.
“That's something I should only consider after I have my first Domain Rule. It's too early to think about it now.”
Come to think of it, could he really possess a second Domain Rule?
No, that wasn't the important part right now.
“Instructor, why didn't you tell me this earlier?”
An Wen looked completely unfazed.
“What's there to tell early? You know it now, don't you?”
He didn't think there was any issue at all.
“Besides, knowing it earlier wouldn't have done you any good. The mall wouldn't give you a discount either. Anyway, just focus on earning Contribution points and slowly getting stronger in the future.”
Zuo Lin'an took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
Come to think of it, that made sense.
Once the dungeon level increased, the number of Contribution points obtained from wiping out a party of players would also increase.
For example, a Two-Star Daily Dungeon.
Wiping out players once would grant five Contribution points, which was a full four points more than a One-Star dungeon.
If the entry application and Rule Sublimation Stones remained at one hundred points in the later stages, wouldn't it be completely effortless for the increasingly powerful dungeon bosses?
Then, the later it got, the easier it would be for dungeon bosses to become stronger?
That was obviously unrealistic.
Zuo Lin'an thought of another very important matter.
“Instructor, the way Regional Dungeons and Daily Dungeons earn Contribution points should be different, right?”
By now, the two of them had finished their breakfast.
An Wen casually gathered the trash on the table.
“Let's talk while we walk.”
They stood up and left the cafeteria.
An Wen threw the trash into a bin and walked out of the cafeteria.
“You're asking about how Regional Dungeons earn Contribution points? That is indeed different from Daily Dungeons.”
“After all, there are many players entering a Regional Dungeon. A few hundred is considered small, and there's no upper limit. It's very difficult... or rather, practically impossible to wipe them all out.”
“So, a different method is used to calculate Contribution points.”
The two of them walked to the edge of the outdoor training field, near a green belt, and found a bench to sit down.
Looking at the teachers and students walking back and forth in the distance near the academic area, An Wen continued to explain.
“Take Lingyang First High School, where you recently guest-starred, as an example.”
“Since the Wuxia World is divided into regions by country this time, the Regional Dungeon of this world is classified as a National War Dungeon.”
“So how does Lingyang First High School earn Contribution points?”
“It's not calculated based on how many players are killed or if they are wiped out. Instead, a total value equivalent to the number of players is set.”
“For instance, Lingyang First High School was split into ten dungeon lines this time, with nine hundred players per line, making a total of nine thousand players.”
“So, Lingyang First High School starts with nine thousand Contribution points, which is equivalent to one Contribution point per player.”
“What comes next is the key point.”
“Once the dungeon starts, no matter what happens during it or what the process is like, for every player who clears it, one hundred Contribution points will be deducted.”
Zuo Lin'an understood.
“If he can wipe out all the players, the principal will receive the maximum nine thousand Contribution points.”
“But if a single player clears it, one hundred Contribution points are deducted. If ninety players clear it, his Contribution points will be completely wiped out.”
“Then... what if more than ninety players clear it? Will the principal's Contribution points go into the negative?”
He recalled that the number of players who cleared the National War Dungeon this time seemed to have exceeded ninety!
Under Zuo Lin'an's gaze, An Wen slowly nodded.
“Yes!”
“However many exceed the limit, that's how much will be deducted. The system will absolutely show no mercy.”
“So under normal circumstances, Regional Dungeons mostly consist of newbie players. The occasional veteran players are just filler to make up for any missing slots.”
“For the Lingyang First High School dungeon to directly allow so many veteran players to participate this time was a special case. Your principal must have taken a massive risk!”
Zuo Lin'an thought to himself that it wasn't just taking a risk, but that the principal had already suffered a major loss.
An Wen mentioned another thing.
“By the way, because it was a special case, the Contribution points deducted for each clearing player in the Lingyang First High School dungeon was reduced from one hundred to fifty this time.”
Zuo Lin'an did a quick calculation.
“Oh, looking at it this way, not only did he not lose points, but he actually made a profit. At the very least, he could still earn three to four thousand Contribution points.”
An Wen sighed with emotion.
“Indeed. But even so, he still took quite a risk.”
Zuo Lin'an calculated the situation of Lingyang First High School.
Ten dungeon lines, and each dungeon line had twenty-one clearing slots.
If every dungeon line had a full twenty-one players clearing it, with each deducting fifty Contribution points, that would be ten thousand five hundred points.
The principal would have gone fifteen hundred points into the negative. Fortunately, the outcome wasn't that bad.
An Wen cautioned him.
“I know your ambitions aren't limited to just Daily Dungeons. But if you want to turn your own dungeon into a Regional Dungeon in the future, it's best to wait until you have a Domain Rule.”
“Without a Domain Rule to back you up, no matter how powerful your rules are, can you really deal with hundreds or thousands of players?”
Zuo Lin'an immediately nodded.
“I understand.”
He wasn't confident enough in himself to that extent yet.
An Wen checked the time. “Alright, I've said all that needs to be said. I have to go to class now, so you should head back too. Feel free to come visit me when you have time in the future.”
“Okay.”
Zuo Lin'an stood up and followed him, walking him to the academic building. Only then did he turn around and walk toward the gates of the training base, casually purchasing a bus ticket from the mall.
This time back, it seemed he had only stayed for a single day?
And that included his time in Sin Hunter City.
To be honest, he had thought he would be staying in Sin Hunter City for ten days to half a month this time.
“I didn't expect it to be this simple...”
The specter bus arrived quickly, and he was still the only passenger on the return trip.
It was very quiet all along the way.
However, when he reached his stop and got off, he saw three people waiting for him outside.
“You're finally back!”
Xu Youyou complained slightly from over there.
“I say, Brother An, were you really in that much of a hurry?”
“Couldn't you have waited until my dungeon ended before going? Then I could have gone with you.”
Zuo Lin'an stepped off the bus and casually replied.
“The round-trip ticket costs two hundred thousand.”
Xu Youyou's eyes instantly cleared up, and he stopped mentioning the matter.
“Ah, I just remembered, Feng Xingyun and Xuan Jiu prepared some delicious food. This dungeon really exhausted me, I have to have a great meal!”
“You should come along too. Consider it a celebration for you becoming a Two-Star dungeon boss!”
Zuo Lin'an didn't refuse either.
Although he had just eaten breakfast at the training base, he could still eat more.
The specter bus behind Zuo Lin'an slowly started up and quickly vanished from sight.
Meanwhile, in the open space in front of his house, tables and chairs were set up, covered in barbecue, drinks, and snacks.
On the other side, a barbecue grill was set up, with meat currently sizzling on it.
