Zhou Tianqi climbed up from the ground with a pale face, a lingering fear flashing through his mind.
Fortunately, this was only a college dungeon test, or he would have almost thought he was going to die in there.
The monsters of a Calamity-grade difficulty were simply too ferocious.
As a hidden class Psychic, he couldn't even defeat a single mob.
He threw a skill at the opponent.
It only dealt 2 damage.
Yet an Undead Soldier merely brushed against him, and more than half of his health vanished instantly, nearly killing him in one hit. There was simply no way to fight this.
So he could only scurry around the entire dungeon, turning to flee the moment he saw an Undead Soldier, not daring to make contact at all.
A true man knows when to yield.
Unfortunately, in the end, because too many Undead Soldiers chased after him, he was driven into a desperate corner.
Luckily, his luck was exceptionally good, and he actually managed to hold out for six minutes.
It was even one minute longer than his expected goal.
"Although the process was a bit wretched, the one who survives to the end is the victor."
Since even a hidden class Psychic like him had such a wretched time entering a Calamity-grade dungeon, Qin Chen, that fragile Mage, must be in an even more pathetic state.
He probably got one-shotted by an Undead Soldier's blade the moment he stepped inside, not even lasting a few seconds.
The corners of Zhou Tianqi's mouth lifted slightly, a trace of victorious joy appearing on his face.
He had won this wager after all.
Only then did Zhou Tianqi turn his head to look around, wanting to find Qin Chen so the other party would honor the bet and publicly apologize to him.
He already had a plan in mind.
He was determined to thoroughly humiliate him and pay back every bit of the grudge he held.
When the goddess Su Li saw such a cowardly and pathetic Qin Chen, she would undoubtedly be deeply disappointed, her pure heart tarnished.
And he would be able to step in and capture the beauty's heart at one stroke.
The only pity was that Su Li was not on the scene. If she could witness Qin Chen's utterly wretched appearance with her own eyes, it would definitely be a magnificent sight.
Zhou Tianqi's gaze swept back and forth continuously, yet he still failed to spot Qin Chen.
A trace of doubt crept into his heart.
Where on earth did this brat run off to?
Could it be that he knew he lost and ran away ahead of time?
Didn't he know the consequences of breaking the wager?
That was a penalty of having seventy percent of his attributes weakened.
The duration lasted a full month.
During that time, his combat strength and status would be even inferior to an ordinary person's.
Did he not want to take the National College Entrance Examination?
Was he planning to completely give up and let things rot?
Zhou Tianqi kept searching for Qin Chen, failing to notice the strange, shocked, skeptical, and spectator-like gazes directed at him by the people around.
The onlookers began to whisper among themselves.
Unable to find Qin Chen, Zhou Tianqi called out to a lackey not far away.
"Did any of you see where that brat Qin Chen ran off to?"
Upon hearing his boss's words, the lackey who had been called out looked somewhat timid, stammering as he spoke.
"Bo... Boss..."
Seeing his lackey act this way, Zhou Tianqi instantly flew into a rage.
"I'm asking you a question, where did that brat Qin Chen go? Why didn't you stop him?"
With a look of utter despair, the lackey could only bite the bullet and say.
"Boss, Qin Chen hasn't come out of the dungeon yet..."
"Huh... Huh?"
Abruptly.
The previously listless Zhou Tianqi widened his eyes in an instant, disbelief written all over his face.
"What?!"
......
"Thud~"
With a practiced strike of his Intern Staff, Qin Chen instantly beat the mobs in front of him to the ground, turning them into a pile of ashes.

The prompt tones of the data panel kept sounding.
Finally, a white light rose from his body.
[Ding! Your level has increased to: Level 3]
[Attribute points increased: Strength +5, Stamina +5, Intelligence +5, Energy +5, Speed +5]
[An additional 5 free attribute points have been obtained]
Current level: [Level 3 Experience 5/150]
[Talent triggered: You have obtained one chance to draw a golden talent.]
A trace of joy appeared on Qin Chen's face. As expected of a Calamity-grade dungeon, leveling up was truly fast.
In less than half an hour, he had already reached Level 3.
He walked over to the spot where the several Undead Soldiers had fallen and directly picked up the dropped equipment.
[Common-grade skill book obtained — Shield Bash (Exclusive to Shield Guards)]
[Heavy Armor equipment obtained *1]
[Shield Bash] (White Grade): Raise the shield in your hand and smash it heavily forward, dealing area-of-effect damage.
[Heavy Armor] (White Grade): Stamina +8, reduces damage by 5%
Looking at the equipment and skill book in his hand, a trace of joy appeared on Qin Chen's face.
He hadn't expected his luck to be this good, dropping equipment and items directly.
One had to know that when killing mobs, the usual drop rate was extremely low.
There was less than a 10% chance of a drop.
If luck was bad, sometimes farming a dungeon for a whole day wouldn't yield a single piece of equipment or item.
Of course, that only happened in extreme cases, usually only encountered by the perpetually unlucky.
At any rate, he had never run into that.
Qin Chen thought for a moment and directly put on the obtained [Heavy Armor].
Every bit of stamina added counted for something.
Then he put away the [Shield Bash] skill book, planning to sell it for cash if he got the chance when he went out of the dungeon.
"Awooo~"
Just as Qin Chen was preparing to draw a golden affix once again, a terrifying and gloomy roar came from afar.
He saw an Undead Skeletal Horse charging over from a distance, and sitting on its back was a tall figure clad in battered armor. The armor seemed to have been eroded by blood qi over a long period, dyed a dark, bloody red.
The roar just now seemed to have been emitted by the Undead Skeletal Horse.
The tall figure in battered armor on its back remained silent, holding a huge, rusted, and corroded halberd, its gaze locked onto Qin Chen.
[Undead Knight (lv.8)] (Infected by Abyss Qi)
Type: Elite-grade Undead
Skills: Half-Moon Slash, Trample, War Roar
"An elite monster!"
Qin Chen's expression showed surprise.
He hadn't expected to encounter an elite monster so soon.
Perhaps Qin Chen's wanton slaughter of Undead Soldiers on the battlefield had provoked the other party.
The Undead Knight charged fiercely toward Qin Chen, its massive halberd radiating a chilling glare.
"Thud~"
The halberd struck Qin Chen's chest with extreme precision.
Qin Chen was instantly forced back a few steps by the tremendous force transmitted from the halberd.
[Damage dealt -10]
A trace of surprise appeared on Qin Chen's face.
As expected of an Elite-grade monster, it was actually able to deal as much as 10 damage to him.
Truly incredible.
Without much hesitation, Qin Chen raised the Intern Staff in his hand and smashed it toward the horse's skull.
"WHAM!!!"
The Undead Skeletal Horse wailed, the massive force directly smashing the skeletal horse flat against the ground, and the Undead Knight on its back was affected, tumbling right off the horse's back.
[Damage dealt -60]
Seeing this, Qin Chen sighed.
The damage had actually decreased.
At this moment, the Undead Knight climbed up from the ground. It silently glanced at the half-dead undead warhorse collapsed on the ground, then turned its head to look at Qin Chen opposite it.
The atmosphere grew inexplicably awkward.
