Chapter 31

Beyond the border lies the territory where monsters reside.

Mobile phone signals cannot reach this area.

Only the communication receivers set up by the Star Network Exchange can receive signals.

This was also the reason Li Yao didn't have morning grumpiness.

No one would spend a large sum of money to call the landline in an exchange room for a trivial matter.

"What is it? Speak slowly."

Li Yao said calmly.

However,

Qin Qin Yue on the phone couldn't slow down at all.

"A dungeon, it's a Primal Dungeon!"

"Just half an hour ago, someone discovered a Primal Dungeon on the border of Nancheng!"

Hearing this,

Li Yao’s eyes narrowed.

A Primal Dungeon, as the name suggests, is a dungeon that has not been pioneered.

This type of dungeon is extremely dangerous.

Escape scrolls cannot be used; once you enter, there is no way back, only the option of clearing the dungeon.

Moreover, the dungeon difficulty is completely random, and no one can predict what will happen inside.

What gives the high-level officials of various countries the most headaches is that

once a Primal Dungeon is triggered and cannot be suppressed in a short time,

the dungeon vortex will shatter, and the monsters inside will be strengthened countless times as they break through the seal, in numbers that cannot be estimated.

The vast majority of human towns that have fallen were destroyed because of failed Primal Dungeon clearings.

So much so that

once a Primal Dungeon is discovered, local high-level officials will quickly contact the Federation to summon top experts who meet the dungeon level to clear it.

Li Yao paused for a long time and asked, "What level is the dungeon?"

"Level 20, the entry condition is level 10 to 25."

"There are many people here now, but no one has gone in yet. Young Master Li, do you want to come?"

"Of course."

Li Yao could not refuse.

Risk equals reward.

This sentence applies everywhere on Blue Star.

"Haha, I knew it!"

"Then hurry downstairs; after I heard the news, I called Uncle Wu to pick you up at the Star Network."

Qin Qin Yue’s voice was very excited, but Li Yao felt it necessary to give a reminder.

"Qin Qin Yue, a Primal Dungeon is different from the Goblin Nest; the difficulty is unpredictable, so I can't bring you."

"Oh!"

Before Li Yao could finish speaking, he was anxiously interrupted by Qin Qin Yue.

"This young lady has at least that much self-awareness. Hurry downstairs, Uncle Wu has already arrived, I'll wait for you here."

"Fine."

Li Yao hung up the phone and hurried downstairs.

He soon saw Uncle Wu and got into the car, heading toward Nancheng.

"Young Master Li, these things were given to me by Lady Li to hand to you."

Lady Li, Guo Ning, a level 59 A-rank support-type professional, a Singer.

She was Li Yao’s biological mother.

"She and Chairman Li are not in Jiangzhou, so they asked me to pass these to you."

In the car, Li Yao took the items handed to him by the other party.

Just like when he took Qin Qin Yue into the dungeon, Uncle Wu gave him several bottles of percentage-based recovery potions.

"Thank you."

In his impression, his parents had a hands-off attitude toward him.

When he made a decision, they would rarely try to dissuade him in most cases.

Of course,

this attitude did not mean they didn't value their son.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have poured all the resources they had struggled for most of their lives into him.

Giving these potions to Li Yao was nothing more than letting him make his own decisions.

As for whether Li Yao was qualified to participate in the Primal Dungeon clearing,

whether it was Qin Qin Yue, Uncle Wu, or Li Yang, Guo Ning, or even Li Yao himself, no one would question it.

The current Li Yao was no longer that despised summoner.

Solo-clearing a Nightmare dungeon, looking across the entire Dragon Kingdom, was definitely a rare existence.

Half an hour later,

Li Yao and Uncle Wu passed through the Nancheng border checkpoint and arrived at the entrance of the Primal Dungeon.

Just as Qin Qin Yue said, it was already crowded with people.

There were even many federal troops stationed here.

Some well-known big shots also appeared here.

"Hello! Hello!"

"Young Master Li, over here!"

Just by the voice, he knew who it was.

Li Yao walked toward that direction.

And this undisguised voice also let others know of Li Yao’s arrival.

Discussions immediately erupted.

"Holy crap! Li Yao is here too?"

"Who is Li Yao?"

"Are you from Nancheng? You don't even know Li Yao? He's the summoner who solo-cleared a Nightmare-level dungeon yesterday!"

"Solo-cleared a Nightmare-level, and a summoner? Do I believe you or believe that I am Qin Shi Huang?"

"Idiot! Go look at the Star Network forum yourself!"

For a moment, everyone was exclaiming.

Even those who didn't know Li Yao had Jiangzhou professionals introducing him to them.

A sense of honor as a Jiangzhou professional welled up.

Moreover,

if a Primal Dungeon clearing fails, the surrounding cities where the dungeon is located are the first to suffer.

Countless monsters break through the seal, and federal support also takes time.

Nancheng at that time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a living hell.

Li Yao’s appearance was like a stimulant injected into them, and the fear of the Primal Dungeon was reduced significantly.

Li Yao walked to Qin Qin Yue’s side.

At this time, standing beside Qin Qin Yue were two middle-aged men.

Li Yao only recognized one of them.

The Mayor of Jiangzhou, City Lord Xue Renyi.

Seeing Li Yao, Xue Renyi blocked Li Yao’s shoulder very familiarly.

"You finally came. These past few days, your name has made my ears grow calluses."

"Senior."

Li Yao nodded in acknowledgment.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is the City Lord of Nancheng, Luo Yu. You can just call him Senior Luo."

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, the rest is even more exciting!

"City Lord Xue, since the person is already here, let's get to the point."

Luo Yu looked serious, looked Li Yao up and down several times, and said,

"Li Yao, right? City Lord Xue thinks highly of you. You cleared the Nightmare-level difficulty, and I also believe you have some strength."

"But the Primal Dungeon is of great importance. Whether you can enter the first batch of the clearing team, it's not up to me, and it's not up to City Lord Xue."

"You are only level 17 now. Logically speaking, you don't meet the relevant federal regulations for Primal Dungeon crusades."

Li Yao didn't want to listen to the other party’s nonsense and interrupted,

"Then who has the final say?"

As the City Lord of Nancheng, he had to think about the safety of Nancheng and look down on his level; Li Yao could understand that.

But don't try to use these baseless regulations to dismiss him.

While in the car, Li Yao had checked the history of federal Primal Dungeon crusades.

Because the clearing time is limited,

Primal Dungeons are generally cleared in two batches.

The first batch is to summon local top professionals or people who meet the level and are at least A-rank professionals to participate voluntarily in a short time.

Only if the first batch fails will the second batch have rigid regulations.

In most cases, it is organized by the Federation.

If it were a normal situation, his solo-clearing of a Nightmare-level dungeon would fully qualify him to participate in any form of clearing team.

Even for the second batch, Li Yao had absolute confidence in joining!

But the other party’s hesitation, and even the willingness to fool him,

could only be explained by one reason.

There were professionals on the scene stronger than him.

Before Luo Yu could answer Li Yao, a frivolous voice came from afar.

"I can make the decision."

A group of five people walked slowly toward Li Yao.

"I was still wondering how much ability someone who opened a Purgatory-level dungeon would have. Who would have thought it was just an A-rank professional?"

"They told me to wait for you. Now it seems like a complete waste of time!"
