Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

The back mountain of Sky Dome Academy.

The once spacious square was now packed with people.

Several student council medical staff members, dressed in white cross uniforms, were carrying medical kits and staring anxiously at the portal that was flashing red light.

"Senior Chu, what's going on? Why is the medical department fully equipped with protective gear?"

A sophomore student who had just come out of a normal-level dungeon approached and asked curiously.

Chu Fei, a student council member, frowned and stared intently at the teleportation portal.

"There was a freshman who arrived early and, just a few days after entering the school, plunged into the challenging [Crimson Monastery] all by himself."

These words were spoken.

The students who were sitting and resting nearby immediately erupted in an uproar.

"Holy crap! The Crimson Monastery on Hard difficulty? It's full of elite centaur monsters with built-in life-steal passives! Is this a place for freshmen?"

"Isn't this just suicide? Those vampire monsters, even a full five-person team would have to pool their money to buy equipment with severe injury effects before daring to go in."

"A freshman trying to solo the hard difficulty? Does he think he's fighting goblins in a beginner dungeon?"

"These freshmen are getting more and more reckless. So many people fully armed, waiting to rescue him—isn't that a complete waste of the school's medical resources?"

"If they carry the body out later, they probably won't be able to piece together a complete corpse."

"..."

The students all shook their heads.

As a popular dungeon in the school, Crimson Monastery has detailed strategies from various teams.

The monster's data is very transparent.

It's a universally acknowledged fact that this dungeon is very difficult and requires powerful equipment or skills that severely injure you.

As for soloing?

That's completely courting death!

"Senior Chu, how about we just close the instance?"

The senior student who had spoken to Su Chen earlier said anxiously, "Force him out, lest he really die inside."

"..."

Chu Fei's expression was conflicted.

Closing the copy is indeed a viable solution.

It will directly pop up all students who are currently working on that dungeon.

but.

This is not without cost.

Each time a dungeon is closed and reopened, it consumes a significant amount of resources.

In the end, he shook his head.

"No, there are other teams inside farming normal difficulty levels. Forcing a shutdown will delay their progress and may even harm them."

"We can only wait for him to escape on his own. The medical department should be prepared to provide immediate treatment as soon as he emerges!"

"..."

Just as everyone in the square was discussing the matter and convinced that Su Chen was in grave danger.

hum-

A ripple suddenly appeared in the portal.

A figure slowly walked out of the portal.

"He's out! Quick! Prepare the stretcher! Priest, cast Heal!"

Chu Fei roared.

Several medical students rushed forward as if facing a formidable enemy, carrying stretchers and medicine kits.

A female priest didn't hesitate at all; with a wave of her staff, she unleashed a series of healing spells.

Su Chen had just stepped out of the portal and hadn't even had a chance to breathe in the fresh air outside the dungeon when he saw a group of people rushing towards him like wolves.

The green healing spells rained down on him.

He was stunned.

What happened?

No.

Why is the atmosphere outside always so strange when he comes out of a dungeon?

"Um... Senior, I'm fine."

Su Chen looked at the priestess who was about to shove her staff into his face, and took a half step back helplessly. "No need to check."

The pastor stared at Su Chen for a while.

There was no sign of injury whatsoever.

Even the blue bar is full.

"Senior Chu... he seems to be really alright."

The pastor turned her head and looked at Chu Fei with some confusion.

"fine?"

Chu Fei looked Su Chen up and down.

The clothes were clean and undamaged.

There wasn't a single drop of blood on him.

Her complexion was rosy, and her breathing was steady.

This doesn't look like someone who just escaped from a difficult dungeon.

"You're lucky you ran fast!"

Chu Fei's face hardened, and he said sternly, "Do you know how dangerous the Crimson Monastery is on the Hard difficulty level? The centaurs there can crush a level 20 warrior into mincemeat with a single charge! You, a freshman, dare to venture in there? Are you crazy?!"

"Luckily you didn't go too far; you realized something was wrong as soon as you entered and came back!"

"If you really run into those monsters, you won't even have a chance to escape the portal!"

"Don't be so reckless in the future. Many second-year students have to be fully prepared to get in!"

"..."

Su Chen was caught off guard by the barrage of lectures.

Runs fast?

Not explored in depth?

"that……"

Su Chen opened his mouth, about to explain.

"oops!"

Sudden.

The female pastor standing next to her let out an extremely sharp scream.

Why are you making such a fuss!

Chu Fei was startled, frowned, and turned around. "Didn't you see I was explaining the rules to the new students?"

"Senior, senior..."

The pastor's voice was trembling.

She reached out tremblingly, gripping his sleeve tightly, and pointed at the large screen, "You...you look at the records..."

"What's so interesting about records? They're just..."

Chu Fei looked in the direction she was pointing with impatience.

next moment.

The sound stopped abruptly.

Above the square.

On the huge screen used to broadcast the real-time results of each dungeon's completion, the section for Crimson Monastery (Hard difficulty) was flashing a blinding golden light.

A brand new line of data appeared abruptly at the very top of all the records.

【Crimson Monastery (Hard)】

[Cleared by: Su Chen (Solo)]

[Clearance Time: 22 minutes 45 seconds]

[Rank: 1]

Dead silence.

The entire square fell into absolute silence in that instant.

Even the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves could be heard clearly.

Those second- and third-year students who were previously criticizing Su Chen for being arrogant and ignorant now stared wide-eyed, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

Chu Fei's stern expression froze completely, his mouth slightly open, enough to swallow an egg.

"Two... twenty-two minutes and forty-five seconds..."

A sophomore swallowed hard, his throat bobbing. "This record... was set by upperclassmen more than ten years ago. They did it in their senior year, and it took them more than an hour..."

This record has been hanging in the Sky Dome Academy's system for over ten years, and no one has been able to break it!

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is the word in parentheses.

Solo.

A freshman not only survived, but also soloed the difficult level of the monastery, even breaking a record that had stood for over a decade?!

Everyone's necks stiffened as they turned, their gazes all fixed on Su Chen.

"you……"

After a long pause, Chu Fei finally managed to squeeze out a few words, "You...you beat the game?!"

Su Chen nodded calmly: "Yes."

"..."

Everyone was stunned and bewildered.

They all had expressions of existential doubt.

"that……"

Su Chen pointed towards the plaza exit. "The inspection is finished. Can I leave now?"

"Ah...ah?"

Chu Fei was stunned and stammered, "Y-yes...of course you can."

"Thank you all very much."

Su Chen politely thanked him and walked outside.

He sighed helplessly.

No.

Who invented the big screen announcement?

He wanted to keep a low profile, but his abilities wouldn't allow it!
