123: Chapter 123 The Unexpected Dungeon

Qi Yun stood alone on the observation deck of the upper deck, his brows furrowed, the scene of the battle with the Flower Maiden replaying in his mind.

He was trying to find some solution from it.

Just as he was racking his brain for a way to break the deadlock—

【Ding! Regional Announcement!】

【Dear survivors, how is your sailing journey going? Have you missed me, Bunny? (｡♦‿♦｡)】

【Bunny has detected that some Tribes have been drifting aimlessly on the sea lately, and are about to starve to death! Bunny is so sad, so heartbroken! (Ĭ^Ĭ)】

【To ensure your sailing journey isn't so "boring" and "dangerous," Bunny has thoughtfully prepared a super interesting—limited-time dungeon for the survivors in this region!】

【Dungeon Name: Old Grudges and New Hatreds!】

【Participation Method: The Tribe leader decides whether to participate.】

【Dungeon Description: This is a special space independent of the current sailing map! Here, you will temporarily return to your former community, whether it be your school, company, or residential complex! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧】

【Dungeon Reward: Clearing the dungeon will earn you—a Unique Class transfer scroll! Plus a super mysterious extra gift pack carefully prepared by Bunny! (★ω★)】

【Special Hint: Settle old scores and grievances! For those you couldn't stand before, raise your fists now!!! ヾ(◍°∇°◍)ﾉﾞ】

【After the dungeon ends, regardless of the outcome, everyone will return safely (provided you didn't die~) to your original positions on your respective ships!】

【Countdown: 10 seconds. Make your choice!】

The announcement ended.

The 【Regional Chat Channel】 exploded into chaos after a few seconds of deathly silence!

"Screw you, Bunny! Are you not satisfied with how fast we're dying?!"

"Limited-time dungeon? I think it's a 'limited-time to die' dungeon!"

"A Unique Class transfer scroll?! Is that for real?!"

"A mysterious grand prize??!"

"Fortune favors the bold! Let's do it!"

"Damn it, let's risk it! We're just waiting to die out here on the sea anyway!"

Curses, skepticism, hesitation, madness... various emotions intertwined in the channel.

On the deck, everyone also saw the announcement and looked toward Qi Yun.

Qi Yun swept his gaze over the group, without much hesitation.

"Accept," he said decisively.

With the current strength configuration of the 01 Tribe, they had enough confidence to face any dungeon with this lineup.

The next second—

The world spun!

An intense sense of weightlessness and spatial tearing washed over them, and their vision was swallowed by a dazzling white light.

A familiar classroom

"Ugh..."

Qi Yun felt his head growing heavy.

What came into view was a scene so familiar it made him feel a bit dazed.

Is this his university classroom? The classroom where he often had classes?

Qi Yun looked around.

The members of the 01 Tribe were all in this classroom!

"Is this... really our school?" Xia Jin walked to the window in disbelief and looked outside.

Outside, it wasn't the familiar playground or track; a thin mist permeated the air, through which a few strange buildings could be faintly seen.

"No, I can feel that the layout of the surrounding space is different from the school," Qi Yun said in a deep voice. He tried to sense it, his brows slightly furrowed.

Qi Yun opened the system interface and discovered that the original 【Regional Chat Channel】 had changed to 【Limited】, and the number of people inside was displayed as: 15010 / 31030.

31030? There are 31030 people in this dungeon? Isn't that the total number of students at the university?

Qi Yun vaguely remembered that their university had 30,000 students.

This meant that nearly half of the people had either died or did not participate in this dungeon.

At this moment, the channel was already in an uproar, with messages scrolling by rapidly.

【Is anyone there? Where is this? Our school?】

【Is the reward Bunny mentioned real?】

【Brothers, we meet again! Is Ke Yun here?】

【Is Zhang Wei from Physics Class 3 still alive? If you're a man, come out and fight me one-on-one.】

"..."

Suddenly, a message was pinned by the system (it seemed the sender had used some kind of item or permission):

【Du Jue: Dear classmates, alumni, survivors, please stay calm! I am the Student Union President, Du Jue, and I have awakened a rare class.】

【I suggest we unite temporarily, with me acting as the temporary leader to unify command, concentrate our strength to explore the dungeon, and strive for everyone to clear it! Please reply with 1 if you support me!】

As soon as this message appeared, it was immediately followed by a string of "11111"s and flattery.

【Support Senior Du Jue! The senior had strong leadership skills back at school, and now that he has a rare class, we will all listen to you!】

【That's right! With Senior Du leading us, we will definitely clear the dungeon safely!】

【Senior Du, we'll do whatever you say!】

Qi Yun watched the farce in the channel, a cold sneer curling the corners of his mouth.

Du Jue? That hypocritical student union president who loves to boast?

It really fits his persona of loving to show off and enjoying playing the role of a "leader" and "beacon of light."

"A clown," he evaluated in a low voice, closing the channel.

In this dungeon, the classroom was empty, without any supplies.

But Qi Yun didn't care at all.

In the current world, strength is everything, and they are the strength here.

"Let's go, go outside and take a look," Qi Yun said, standing up and calling to the women beside him.

Xia Jin, Shu Qianxue, Ye Xi, Chen Xiaolin, and the others immediately followed.

Many boys began to publicly confess their love and call out in the channel:

【Is junior Shu Qianxue there? I am not the same as I used to be; can you meet me?】

【Senior Xia Jin! I've awakened as a 'Gale Swordsman'! Be my girlfriend, and I'll take you to the top!】

【Lin Le! I love you! Marry me! I have a ship! I have food!】

The objects of their confessions were all the pretty girls from Qi Yun's class.

After all, Qi Yun's class had the nickname of the 'Goddess Class' at school.

It seems some people think that because they've awakened a class and become "superior beings," their minds are starting to get active.

Qi Yun scoffed, too lazy to pay attention, and led his group out of the classroom.

The corridor was the same as in his memory, but also somewhat different.

In his memory, there were only six large classrooms on each floor, but now, looking around, there were densely packed doors to at least twenty rooms on both sides of the long corridor!

At this moment, the doors to several classrooms also opened, and people walked out in groups of three or five.

Seeing Qi Yun's group, especially the Campus Belles with their distinct temperaments, the eyes of those people immediately lit up, and they swarmed over.

"Xia Jin! Campus Belle Xia! It's me! Wang Lei! I used to bring you breakfast."

A tall boy rushed over, blocking their path, his face plastered with an obsequious smile, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Xia Jin's chest.

"Classmate Shu Qianxue! It's great that you're alive too! I'm Li Ming! We took an elective course together! I'm a 'Fire Mage' now! Let's team up, I'll protect you!"

"Chen Xiaolin! Come to our Tribe. 20 people from Sports Class 1 survived!"

For a moment, the corridor became somewhat chaotic.

Seven or eight boys swarmed up, fawning over their respective goddesses, desperately showing off their "post-awakening power" and "superior conditions."

"Xiao Lin, let me tell you, we have a medium-sized wooden ship now, and we have plenty of food! Come with me, I guarantee you'll have food every day!" a sports student said, patting his chest.

"Xiao Lin, don't listen to him! Our Class 2 has real strength! Our boss used to pursue you; if you're willing to come, your life definitely won't be bad!"

"Shu Qianxue, I, Li Ming, am a 'Fire Mage' with explosive output! Come with me!"

They competed and bragged to each other, as if whoever bragged the loudest would win the favor of the goddess.

They completely ignored the calm-looking Qi Yun.
