Shen Fei arrived at the public dungeon teleport named "Flame Demon Rift" according to the address and found that it was indeed quite crowded as Fang Yuan had mentioned.
Everyone was shouting.
"Come on, come on, one more Fire Mage, the new dungeon Flame Demon Rift, no record has been set for the difficult level yet!"
"We need one more, someone with strong healing capabilities!"
"Hurry up, we need a tank with high health and fire resistance!"
...
Because it was a public dungeon, many professionals were shouting around here planning to break the dungeon's records, which Shen Fei had also seen announced in Shencheng City.
He hadn't paid attention before when he returned, but after Fang Yuan reminded him, he looked up the detailed information about this dungeon.
There were five levels: Normal, Elite, Difficult, Nightmare, and Hell, and the Normal and Elite levels had already been completed.
Only the Difficult, Nightmare, and Hell levels were left uncompleted.
Or rather, not passed.
When Shen Fei first arrived, he saw five figures appearing at the dungeon entrance, and the leader was actually an acquaintance of Shen Fei's, Jiang Ying.
Yet, Jiang Ying was no longer as aloof as before, instead, he was impatiently growling, "Are you all useless? Is that skill so hard to dodge?"
"Young master..."
The other four had flushed faces but dared not speak, Jiang Ying rolled his neck and said to the dungeon manager, "Let's go in again!"
"Hmm."
The dungeon manager, a man in uniform, responded. The "Flame Demon Rift" was government-built, so it obviously couldn't be run for free.
Building dungeons was more like a way for the government to recoup funds.
"Jiang Ying. Out again?"
As Jiang Ying was about to lead the team inside, a slightly mocking voice was heard, and Jiang Ying glanced over with a sneer, "Su Bai, as if you can break the record."
Everyone present turned to the newcomer, and immediately a lively discussion started.
"It's someone from the Su Family. I heard they tried the difficult level yesterday but failed again. But today, they should have more confidence."
"The Su Family is definitely stronger than the Jiang Family, but I heard the Jiang Family's eldest made a name for himself at Imperial University, and now some smaller families and organizations have joined them."
"The Su Family's status will surely be challenged. That's why they're trying to break the record now, to attract more capital later. I also heard they might get government support..."
Shen Fei, hearing about the Su Family, looked over. Although he dated Mu Yun for three years, he still knew very little about the Su Family.
He hadn't even met anyone from the Su Family, as their relationship was more like a campus romance.
Both sides were quite well-mannered.
Although, he had heard of Su Bai, Su Muyu's cousin, his third uncle's son.
He was also one of the current public representatives of the Su Family.
People from the Su Family were quite good-looking, and Su Bai was no exception, a handsome tall guy, seemingly a Warlock judging by his equipment.
Su Bai, arms crossed, casually said, "I'm just here to warn you, keep your recent actions clean, collecting information on my brother-in-law, who gave you the nerve?"
Shen Fei: ???
Brother-in-law?
Jiang Ying sneered, "Brother-in-law, Shen Fei is now your family's brother-in-law? Allowing a mud leg into your family, the Su Family really has fallen."
"Otherwise, as long as my sister likes him. Oh, oh, haven't I heard that your brother also likes my sister, but seems to have lost a bet and will lick the toilet..."
Su Bai said with a cheerful smile.
Shen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, so Su Bai was referring to him as the brother-in-law.
He thought the Su Family might not have had a good impression of him.
Jiang Ying's face turned blue for a moment, damn Shen Fei, and that idiot Jiang Lin, losing a skill book was bad enough, now the embarrassment was widespread.
Though he hadn't licked, many knew about the bet.
"Hey, isn't this the brother of that idiot Jiang Lin..."
At this moment, another familiar figure to Shen Fei appeared, Wang Xun.
Wang Xun was followed by a small team, smiling, as he spoke.
"The Wang Family is getting involved too?"
"What are you talking about, Shen Fei is my brother, who are you?" Wang Xun snorted coldly, suddenly spotting a familiar figure.
Hmm?
How come that person looks so much like Shen Fei.
No.
It is Shen Fei.
Why is Shen Fei here?
Everyone else hearing the three groups' conversation, raised the same question.
'Who is Shen Fei?'
How is he connected to the Jiang Family, Wang Family, and Su Family, but soon people thought of it, the red glow appearing in the sky back then.
The high schooler who passed the Hell Dungeon.
Shen Fei.
So Shen Fei was so impressive to be connected with the three families, and from the sound of it, his connection with the Su Family seemed not simple.
Brother-in-law?
Shen Fei didn't want to stand there any longer because Wang Xun's eyes had settled on him, clearly recognizing him.
He walked to Wang Xun, "Why are you here?"
Wang Xun was a bit puzzled as he hadn't contacted Shen Fei since he left last time because he was preparing to level up.
In these few days, he leveled up to 7.
"I'm here to clear the dungeon."
"Clear the dungeon? This is level 10!"
He knew Shen Fei must have some special traits; otherwise, how could he have cleared Hell difficulty of Wild Boar Forest with just the Mountain Giant.
But he couldn't have possibly leveled up to 10, right?
He was just barely level 7, even after his family spent a fortune to avoid the experience penalty and kept letting him grind dungeons, but it still took time.
Sometimes a dungeon run could take several hours.
If you die in the dungeon, you'll lose experience, which was the hardest part.
"Level 12 now."
Shen Fei raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Level 12!!"
Wang Xun's eyes widened, and the others present were also stunned; they had heard the conversation, realizing this was Shen Fei from Shencheng First High School.
But to hear he's level 12 already?
They hadn't been awakened for long.
"Impressive!"
Wang Xun genuinely felt Shen Fei was impressive, it hadn't even been that long.
"Is this public dungeon very important? Why is everyone here..." Shen Fei only knew the principal told him to come, but seeing the situation, it seemed the dungeon involved something significant.
Otherwise, even the Su Family wouldn't be here.
"The dungeon record doesn't matter to individuals, but it affects government support for families and organizations. I hear the Su Family's potion ingredient supply has been affected lately,
they want to get a spot that Shencheng had expanded before, probably here for that."
"What about you?"
"Me? Our family has a different matter, it's for shipping. And the Jiang Family seems to plan on grabbing that land..."
"Is that so?"
Shen Fei touched his chin, the principal just told him to set the Hell dungeon record, and if the Su Family needed it.
With Su Bai calling him "brother-in-law," he figured giving the Nightmare and Difficult records to the Su Family would be fine.
Hmm...
Giving the Difficult record to the Wang Family was okay too, it didn't matter to him personally.
"Do you want the difficult record? I'll help you clear it!"
Shen Fei looked at Wang Xun with a smile.
"Huh?"
Wang Xun was taken aback, not only him, but everyone present was also surprised.
