As time ticked away, many hurried footsteps echoed outside.
Zuo Lin'an knew these were the students rushing to their classrooms.
He recalled that this academic building had ten floors. Running all the way up to the tenth floor would probably be exhausting for those students, and he didn't know if there was an elevator.
He hadn't seen one earlier.
When Zuo Lin'an's eyes fell upon his watch once more, the time had already reached one o'clock.
The hallway outside had fallen completely silent. He swept his gaze across the room; every single seat was occupied. It seemed no one dared to be late.
And for good reason. After all, this place was nothing like the outside world.
This was a training base for dungeon bosses.
Being late could lead to disastrous consequences.
Taking advantage of the instructor's absence, Zuo Lin'an began to observe the diverse group of people in the classroom.
Some were disheveled and unkempt.
Some looked youthful and energetic, like college students.
Others wore work uniforms, likely former corporate slaves of society.
There was also a stunning beauty wearing a dress.
Zuo Lin'an looked at her exquisite makeup, her designer clothes, and the jade bracelet on her wrist that easily cost at least six figures, feeling a bit puzzled.
Her life was going so well, yet she still wanted to risk her life for a chance to become a dungeon boss?
He quickly realized that he wasn't the only one observing others; the rest of the classroom was also eyeing him and Xu Youyou.
It made sense. After all, the two of them were the youngest and stood out the most.
About ten seconds later, Zuo Lin'an heard footsteps approaching from outside.
The instructor was likely here.
He wondered what kind of person the instructor in charge of their classroom would be.
Soon, a tall and well-built man walked in.
Zuo Lin'an looked closely. The instructor was quite handsome, but his aura was far too cold. He practically radiated a “keep away” vibe, making him seem rather difficult to get along with.
Hopefully, he wasn't the type to fly into a rage over nothing and kill someone on a whim.
“Class is now in session. Good, everyone is present.”
“First, let me introduce myself.”
“My name is An Wen. You can call me Instructor An.”
“From now until you enter Sin Hunter City, I will be in charge of all your training. If you have any questions or if anything happens during this period, you can come to me.”
He wrote a string of numbers on the blackboard.
“Make sure to write this down.”
Everyone quickly pulled out their phones to save the phone number.
An Wen spoke again, “I'm sure you all tried to gather information about the training base before coming here, but you don't need to worry. As long as you don't cross the base's boundaries or my personal bottom line, I won't lay a hand on my students.”
“Additionally, each instructor is only responsible for the students in their own class. They cannot and will not interfere with students from other classes.”
Hearing this, Zuo Lin'an let out a silent sigh of relief.
Although this instructor named An Wen looked a bit cold, he didn't seem like the type who enjoyed killing.
Furthermore, the rule that instructors couldn't interfere with other classes prevented any unhinged instructors from targeting them.
This gave him and Xu Youyou a decent guarantee of safety.
An Wen picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the word "Dungeon" on the blackboard.
“Let's get straight to the point.”
“Some of you here might already know a thing or two about dungeons, but I still need to explain it from the very beginning. This is a mandatory part of our curriculum.”
“First of all, why do dungeons exist in our world?”
“The reason is very simple: our world is incomplete. The incompleteness of the world's source energy has caused major issues with its overall operation.”
“We need a massive amount of energy to repair our world!”
“So, where does this energy come from?”
“We use dungeons to invade other worlds and perform specter assimilation. Once the assimilation succeeds, we receive a massive backflow of energy to patch up our world's source.”
At this point, An Wen's tone grew cold and dangerous.
“If we fail to obtain this energy, our world will gradually decay until it completely vanishes. When that time comes, everyone will go down with it.”
Hearing this, Zuo Lin'an's eyes widened slightly.
