After Cheng Qianmo arrived on the third floor, he did not encounter any obstacles.
He quickly found the guide.
"Excuse me, is this where we enter the Apocalypse Continent?" Cheng Qianmo asked calmly.
The guide looked at Cheng Qianmo, somewhat puzzled.
Isn't it class time now?
Why do you, a student, come here?
"From the looks of you, you should still be a student."
"Don't you have class today?"
Cheng Qianmo shook his head and didn't explain much. He didn't care about other people's opinions at all.
The guide frowned slightly, and seeing that Cheng Qianmo didn't say anything, he assumed that he agreed. At this point, his impression of him dropped a lot.
"It turns out that he is a poor student who likes to skip classes. He really doesn't know how to cherish time."
Although the guide had already labeled Cheng Qianmo as a bad person in his heart, he still explained the precautions due to professional ethics.
"There are a few things to note on Tianqi Continent. First... "
"Finally, when you choose to exit Apocalypse Continent, you can choose to take our public exit, or you can choose to go directly to school."
When talking about the school, the guide deliberately emphasized his tone, as if hinting at something.
However, Cheng Qianmo did not understand the guide's meaning at all, and he did not even listen carefully to the previous words.
Because in this world, there is no one who is more familiar with the Apocalypse Continent than him.
He was just a little surprised when he heard the last sentence.
I didn't expect that every school has an exit to the Apocalypse Continent.
No one had ever told him this.
Soon, Cheng Qianmo didn't say much, but walked straight into the entrance of the portal, and the guide beside him showed a look of contempt.
He saw a flash of white light before his eyes, and immediately felt that the space around him was distorted.
A moment later, he appeared in a whole new world.
Cheng Qianmo looked around, although it was his first time to come to the Apocalypse Continent.
But every tree and blade of grass here is so familiar.
The place where he is now is the original birth point in his previous life's game.
"Long time no see, Apocalypse!"
This long-lost feeling made Cheng Qianmo feel deeply moved.
In fact, the assessment map he participated in before was also located in the Apocalypse Continent.
I just don't know what means the school used to find a way to enter directly from the outside.
Now, Cheng Qianmo has officially returned to the place where he had struggled for countless days and nights.
Just as he was sighing, two men and one woman came over.
"Hello, classmate. My name is Ding Hong. The three of us are freshmen at Demon Spirit University."
"Which university are you from? Do you want to do a mission together?"
The man named Ding Hong asked very enthusiastically.

Cheng Qianmo took a look at the information of the three people and found that their levels were all 14, and their professions were all mages, which surprised him a little.
As for why the other party asked him which university he was from, he was confused.
I am only a senior high school student, how come I am a college student?
Generally speaking, most people will step into the Apocalypse Continent for the first time only after they have successfully awakened.
And this time point is usually after the college entrance examination.
Students from Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, for example, took part in a talent assessment one month before the college entrance examination, and those who successfully passed it generally had a level of around 10.
After that, they need to devote all their energy to preparing for the college entrance examination, leaving them with almost no time to level up.
Therefore, all newcomers who appear at the original birth point are basically level 10.
Ding Hong's understanding is also inferred according to this convention.
Someone like Cheng Qianmo, who has reached level 14, naturally cannot be a high school student. He can only be a freshman at a university.
Compared to high school, college life is much freer, so the time spent in Apocalypse Continent will become longer and longer.
At this time, the students' levels will begin to improve rapidly.
Therefore, there was nothing wrong with what Ding Hong had just said, it was just that Cheng Qianmo did not know the problem.
To put it simply, he was promoted too quickly and had far surpassed all the students in his class, so he was mistaken for a college student.
The Demon Spirit University where Ding Hong and his two companions were studying was ranked tenth in Xia Country, just barely reaching the top 10.
The main professions in their school are basically magic-related.
This morning, the three of them happened to have no classes, so they went to the Apocalypse Continent together to level up.
Cheng Qianmo's main purpose of coming here today was also to level up.
Teaming up with these people will not only not improve your efficiency, but will actually be a drag.
So, for a moment, he didn't know how to refuse.
At this moment, the other two students among the three also spoke.
But he didn't say it to Cheng Qianmo, but to Ding Hong.
"Squad leader, didn't you pay attention to his message just now?"
"Although this person's level is the same as ours, his profession is that of a casual player."
"Our mages can complete tasks so quickly, why would we need a loser to hold us back?"
"Sun Weijun is right. There is absolutely no need to call him."
"Before, many people begged us mages to lead them. Why would we need to find a rubbish random person to be a burden?"
The man and woman were named Sun Weijun and Zhao Yaner. They obviously looked down on Cheng Qianmo's career as an independent player and spoke rather harshly.
After being reminded, Ding Hong realized that Cheng Qianmo's occupation was indeed a casual player, so he laughed awkwardly a few times.
"Sorry bro, we have something to do so we have to leave first."
Cheng Qianmo was not angry. He would never bother with these newcomers.
Besides, he had not been planning to accept the invitation to form a team in the first place, so he didn't have to waste any more time talking.
Looking at the direction the three people left, Cheng Qianmo slowly walked towards an old house not far away.
With a squeak.
The door of the old house had fallen into disrepair and made a harsh noise when Cheng Qianmo pushed it open.

Cheng Qianmo glanced around the room with a smile on his face.
"This is it. Sure enough, nothing has changed."
Then he cleaned up the old furniture in the house, and dust flew everywhere.
Cough, cough.
No one had been to this shabby house for a long time, so there was a lot of dust accumulated, and Cheng Qianmo's throat was choked.
Of course, he didn't come here to clean up or do good deeds, but he had other purposes.
"Found it. It's here."
A smile appeared on Cheng Qianmo's lips. He found an old letter from a broken chair.
The letter was hidden in the gap between the chair legs and the seat, and it would not be found unless you looked very carefully.
Cheng Qianmo opened the letter and quickly read it.
"When I was fishing at the beach yesterday, I suddenly saw a huge black shadow."
"When I tried to fish it out, the shadow disappeared."
"Then I dived in to see what it was, but I found nothing."
"I told the villagers about this, but no one believed me at all."
"They also said I was dreaming."
"I'm so angry. I swear, I really found a strange black shadow under the sea."
"Why won't everyone believe me?"
Judging from the tone of the letter, the protagonist should be a young man.
He was ridiculed by the villagers because he saw a strange black shadow but had no way to prove it.
Eventually, the matter came to nothing.
Perhaps because he was afraid of embarrassment, he hid the letter in the crack.
After Cheng Qianmo finished reading the letter, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Just then, a message appeared in his taskbar.
[Congratulations, you have successfully accepted the hidden mission - Vanishing Shadow. ]
The strange phenomena described in the letter were of course true, Cheng Qianmo was very sure of that.
Because this was a very classic hidden task in the previous life.
And it is one of the few hidden treasures that can be obtained at the beginning of the game.
Given the hidden location of the letter and the somewhat exaggerated content on it, it is extremely difficult to complete this mission.
What's more, this dilapidated house is right next to the birth point.
Few people would have thought that there was a hidden mission here.
So due to various reasons, no one in this world has taken up this task yet.
However, all this is not a problem at all for Cheng Qianmo.
He himself is a living encyclopedia, and he knows all this information by heart.
"I remember this mission. Not only does it give a lot of experience, but it also rewards that thing at the end!"
Thinking of this, Cheng Qianmo's eyes lit up. . . . . .
