Chapter 1173: Newcomer Competition!

The crowd dispersed.

They didn't all leave at once,

but Li Yao could follow the flow of people and walk out of this room.

The surrounding students were all looking at Li Yao excitedly,

but did not speak to disturb him.

In the corner of the room,

Han Xuan watched Li Yao's departing back and nudged the young girl beside her with her elbow.

"Your Young Master Li has left; aren't you going up to say hello?"

Qin Yue also looked over there: "Didn't I already say hello?"

"You didn't even get to speak, does that count as saying hello?" Han Xuan said irritably, "You haven't seen each other for so long, at least chat for a bit."

"No need," Qin Yue shook her head, "Young Master Li is so busy, why bother him?"

"Then why did you run over without even eating when you heard news of Li Yao?"

Qin Yue's little face turned red, "Just came over to take a look."

"Humph!" Han Xuan snorted lightly.

As her best friend, did she not understand this girl's psychology?

But she was too easily satisfied, right?

He just looked at her, and she was so happy she couldn't find north!

Useless!

Embarrassing!

Han Xuan said with dissatisfaction: "I also bought a boxed lunch; it's cold now that I'm back, you have to compensate me!"

"No way!" Qin Yue wrinkled her delicate nose, but an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face, and she said fiercely, "The points required to enter dungeons have risen so much recently, and you're still asking me to compensate you?"

"Xuanxuan! You are exploiting me!"

"Who told you to insist on coming?"

"Since we're already here, why don't we skip dinner, save it for tonight, and go to the second floor to grind a dungeon?"

"Let's go!"

"It's good to have Xiao Hei!"

Li Yao walked out of the 【Abyss Fortress】 dungeon room and sighed sincerely.

However,

are S2 Spirit Stones so hard to find?

When he first returned to Jingyu,

he had entrusted Xiao Hei to stop acquiring S1 Spirit Stones and instead look for clues about S2 Spirit Stones.

Up until now, he hadn't found any.

Li Yao would not doubt Xiao Hei's ability.

With his current permissions, he hadn't found any news about S2 on the Star Net trading station.

That meant

S2 Spirit Stones had likely never been dropped by any professional at all.

Xiao Hei not finding any also confirmed this conjecture.

"Forget it, no rush. Since it was mentioned in the introduction, it must exist."

"One day it will drop."

Li Yao walked down the corner of the stairs

and saw a young girl wearing white clothes leaning against the wall, seemingly having waited for a long time.

"Li Yao-kun."

She was wearing black sweatpants, a white T-shirt, a white lady's jacket, and white running shoes today.

She wore a mask on her face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes,

reflecting the bright stair lights, like the most beautiful gems in the world.

Unlike her usual attire,

this was light sportswear.

One could tell at a glance that she had just finished today's cultivation and came out for a stroll.

Li Yao remembered that Jiutiao Meise should be very busy recently, right?

The teacher had promised her that as long as she got into the top ten of the Newcomer Competition, he would handle all resident procedures for her in the Dragon Nation.

Although it was just to motivate Jiutiao Meise,

Jiutiao Meise had taken it seriously,

almost soaking in the 【Monster Catching Tower】 every day.

She actually had time today?

"How did you know I was here?" Li Yao asked.

Jiutiao Meise walked naturally to Li Yao's side, walking downstairs together.

"Who else could cause such a big commotion besides Li Yao-kun?"

"The current record in the Monster Catching Tower was set by you, right?"

"Yeah, the reward is not bad. Which floor did you reach?"

"85th floor."

The 85th floor seems to be the stage for lord-level monsters, right?
