After Li Yu cast a shield on all three of them, he said, "Alright, you've been strengthened. Hurry up and go!"

After saying that, Li Yu took action, Piercing Magic Cannon. As the Magic Array took shape, a huge beam of light shot out from the staff in Li Yu's hand, instantly engulfing one of the passages.

A loud "BOOM!" echoed through the 19th floor, startling many students. Who was setting off a cannon in the Dungeon?

Li Yu didn't hold back with this Piercing Magic Cannon; coupled with the Li Yu Fairy Pursuit he had just learned, the power it unleashed was simply terrifying.

The dozens of monsters were instantly vaporized before they could even charge forward, as were the Magic Stone. The massive explosion even widened the Dungeon passages considerably.

"Hiss, how much magic did you inject?" Seeing the commotion Li Yu made, Asuna was startled and couldn't help but ask.

"Not much. If we use Yukino's magic power as the unit of calculation, it's equivalent to using one Yukino." As Li Yu finished speaking, he raised his staff again and launched an attack in one direction.

This time he didn't use as much magic, because Li Yu was afraid that he would break through this layer directly, since it was possible to break through directly to the bottom of the Dungeon.

However, if possible, it is advisable not to do so, as it would cause the Dungeon to collapse and block some roads.

Upon hearing Li Yu use her as a unit of measurement, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "Please don't use me as a comparison next time, thank you!"

She didn't want her name to become a unit of measurement one day, with people asking Li Yu how much magic he possessed, and him replying with something like "five Yukino's worth."

"Next time for sure. Let's start the battle, stop talking nonsense." Li Yu replied casually, then focused on using True Magic to eliminate the monsters that had spawned.

Yukino snorted coldly, not saying anything more to this guy. She picked up her katana and engaged in battle with the monsters. The four of them fought continuously against the monsters in this passage.

With Li Yu's buff, the group launched a full-scale attack, realizing they were now incredibly safe, protected only by their light-cloaked armor.

With the added power of their new weapons, these monsters posed no threat to them whatsoever. Yukino Yukinoshita she used her katana to slice a charging Hellhound into pieces.

The katana that Li Yu forged for her is really good; it's much more comfortable than the short sword she used before. Li Yu is actually a pretty good guy; the only pity is that he can be infuriating at times.

As a comrade-in-arms, Li Yu is absolutely reliable. Although he might surprise you from time to time, you should believe that when Li Yu casts his True Magic on you, there's definitely something behind you.

However, such a thing will not happen again, because now they can use their perception abilities at any time, and they no longer have to worry about not being able to react when there is a monster behind them, and then being blasted on the head by that guy Li Yu with True Magic.

The hundreds of monsters were quickly wiped out by Li Yu and the others. Looking at the Magic Stone scattered on the ground, this time Li Yu didn't let Yukino go to pull the monsters again. Instead, he cleaned them up first. After collecting all the Magic Stone, Li Yu looked at Yukino, and the Asuna two.

"I have a good idea. There's a huge plain on the 23rd floor. How about we go there tomorrow?" Li Yu shared his idea.

Now that it was confirmed that Yukinoshita could pull monsters, Li Yu naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity. He found a wider area and had Yukino summon even more monsters.

Then we can go on a killing spree and take them down! What a great opportunity to gain experience! Although we don't know how much experience we'll get from killing one monster, as long as we get enough, everyone's level will definitely increase when we go back this time.

The three were taken aback by Li Yu's words. Asuna was the first to react, looking at Li Yu with suspicion and asking, "You want to go over there and have Yukino summon more monsters?"

Li Yu nodded and immediately explained his plan, "Tomorrow, our whole class will go down together, and we'll summon as many as we can. This way, everyone can gain a lot of experience, and we can also get a lot of Magic Stone!"

Farming money and experience, isn't that the best way? In an open area, Li Yu can cast True Magic however he wants, so for Li Yu, the large plain on the 23rd floor is simply a good place to farm monsters and level up.

"Hiss... What if the Dungeon gets angry?" Asuna could already imagine how many monsters would appear if they did that, and it might even provoke the Dungeon's wrath.

"Let it get angry, I'd love for it to get angry. Unless we encounter a monster we can't beat, we don't need to worry. If we can't beat it, we can just run away. It's not like we can't outrun it." Li Yu said calmly.

As long as nothing too outrageous happens, Li Yu is not worried at all. Even if the Black Dragon comes, Li Yu is not afraid. At worst, he can just activate the True Magic and return to the modern world.

The three of them were actually quite interested, but the risk was too great. Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "I think it's best to discuss this with the others and see what they think."

This wasn't just an activity for their team; it was an activity for the whole class. If it were just for their team, the three of them could simply agree, but they would have to be consulted before deciding how the rest of the class would choose.

"Well, I'll discuss it with everyone when I get back later. I won't force anyone who doesn't want to go. Anyway, this is a great opportunity to level up, and we might even get a bunch of materials to upgrade everyone's weapons." Li Yu understood their concerns, so he agreed to go back and discuss it with everyone.

Seeing Li Yu's words, the three of them nodded. The benefits were indeed plentiful, and they figured there wouldn't be many people in the class who would refuse such a thing. With that in mind, the three of them already had a good idea.

After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone continued exploring the Dungeon. Li Yu walked over the spot where he had just blasted the ground; it was still radiating heat, and the surrounding air felt warm and cozy.

The power of that True Magic was quite considerable; after all, it wiped out all the monsters that had spawned there with just one shot, without giving them any chance to fight back.

The four wandered around the Dungeon until around 4 PM, when Li Yu contacted them using the mark on his hand, telling them to prepare to return.

Everyone had a map, so Li Yu didn't need to worry about them getting lost. If they did get lost, they could just use the marks on their hands to locate the True Magic aura of the others. The marks he created had quite a few uses.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Yu led Asuna and the others towards the 18th floor. Along the way, they gradually met up with the others, but no one waited for them. There was no need to wait to get back to the 18th floor; everyone could go up on their own.

When Li Yu and his group returned to the camp, there were already people there, and those who had returned were already processing ingredients, clearly starting to prepare a meal.

Not long after they returned, the others also returned from the 19th floor one after another. Li Yu counted the number of people and only felt completely relieved after finding that there were no problems.

Back at camp, everyone tallied up their day's harvest and handed over a portion to Li Yu. They had all discussed their spoils before submitting them, and each team submitted the same amount.

However, when it was Ais's turn to join their temporary team, they handed in quite a lot of stuff. Li Yu looked at the Magic Stone Ais handed in and said somewhat speechlessly, "You don't need so many. We only take a portion."

After saying that, Li Yu looked at Ais, who was about to say something, and interrupted her, saying, "If you don't want these low-level Magic Stone stones, give them to your two teammates."

Li Yu understood what she wanted to say. As members of Orario's largest Familia, Ais and the others usually looked down on these things, since they would only take up space.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Ais nodded and agreed immediately. Then she took the Magic Stone stones and went to find her two teammates.

Although it was her first time teaming up with outsiders, she felt great. This was a feeling she never experienced in the Loki Familia. Even though... they were slow at killing monsters, Ais just felt great, like she was mentoring a newbie.

In fact, Ais killed most of the monsters this afternoon. If the two hadn't told her to slow down, Ais probably could have cleared it all by herself. After all, the monsters on this floor posed little challenge for Ais and Lefiya.

If Lefiya hadn't been fighting alongside Ais using True Magic, she probably would have already unleashed a barrage of firepower on those mere grunts!

After slowing down, Ais began giving pointers to her two temporary teammates, and it could be said that this team actually gained the most from all the other teams.

Teaming up with Ais is like having a temporary instructor, and the two girls are quite happy about it. After all, having someone to help them get stronger is just fantastic.

After collecting everyone's Magic Stone, Li Yu went to help with the cooking. Those who had nothing else to do in the camp sat together chatting. Xia Yu, sitting next to Yukino, couldn't help but ask, "Was that huge explosion this afternoon caused by the class monitor?"

Many people heard the loud noise, but Xia Yu's first thought was that it was Li Yu who did it, because only Li Yu could have done such a thing in the Dungeon.

"It was him. He wiped out all the monsters that spawned in one of the passages." Yukino nodded, not hiding anything.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu's eyes lit up, and she said with excitement, "I'm increasingly looking forward to my breakthrough. Only by breaking through can I learn stronger Martial Arts and True Magic."

Speaking of Martial Arts, Xia Yu recalled something. Looking at Yukino with some frustration, she said, "Speaking of which, since the class president came to this world, she's mostly learned True Magic. It seems she hasn't learned any Martial Arts at all?"

That's right. In this world, Li Yu has focused primarily on learning various forms of True Magic, neglecting everything else. This is a serious case of being overly specialized.

"The main problem is that we haven't met the right people. After all, we haven't met many people, and most of them are True Magic... Ais uses a sword, but she has True Magic." Yukino looking in Ais's direction.

At this moment, Ais was chatting with her two temporary teammates. Ais was kind of like them, wasn't she? Although she used various weapons, she could also use True Magic, and her swordsmanship was incredibly powerful. Perhaps the school hoped they would develop in this direction?

"That seems to be true. I hope that if I break through, I can obtain a powerful True Magic. True Magic in this world is like a talent; I wonder if people like us can obtain it when we level up." Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh after learning about Ais and the others' True Magic.

Exclusive True Magic! That's so enviable! It's practically a second talent. Everyone present naturally hopes they can have it.

A group of people were chatting idly when dinner was ready. With a shout from a classmate, "Dinner's ready!" everyone got up to get their utensils and then lined up to get their food.

The prepared dishes were placed in a wooden bucket; they could fill it with as much as they wanted, as there was no waste. Ais and Lefiya, having already had experience once, knew how to do it.

This way of eating was quite unique for them, and both of them felt it was very good; it was much better than eating dry, unappetizing food.

After getting their food, the two of them found a place to sit down and eat with the two girls from their temporary team. The four of them got along quite well; at least they could now share food from each other's bowls and chopsticks.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Yu addressed the group directly. "After you've washed the dishes, everyone come over here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you all."

Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their understanding and hurriedly headed towards the water source to wash and put away their bowls and chopsticks.

Before long, everyone arrived at the specially reserved open space. Once everyone was there, Li Yu said, "This afternoon I discovered a method to attract monsters that spawn in the Dungeon."

Upon hearing this, Ais and Lefiya were the first to be stunned. Seriously? Attracting Dungeon monsters to Dungeon? If it really could, the benefits would be incredible!

"Squad leader, what do you want to do?" Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Li Yu's first words. As modern people, what's the first thing that comes to mind after learning about this?

You're playing an online game and desperately need experience to level up. Then you discover a way to make monsters spawn endlessly... Well, next you might have to deal with the Sword God of Shili Slope.

"There's a vast plain on the 23rd floor!" Li Yu said slowly, looking at the expectant gazes of the crowd. Everyone understood immediately.

"Starting tomorrow? I agree!" "Me too!" "Goodness, this is going to be a grind to death!" "Class monitor, should we just move there? Then we can take turns resting and grinding monsters!" "This isn't grinding monsters, it's printing money! Just think about all the Magic Stone and materials those monsters drop..." "Oh no, just thinking about it makes me want to vomit!"

The students started discussing excitedly, and no one backed down. Everyone was thrilled; this was a great opportunity to level up, and they could even farm money and materials. They could just move everything over there and farm for 24 hours straight.

Seeing his incredibly excited classmates, Li Yu couldn't help but find it amusing. He glanced in Yukino Yukinoshita's direction; Yukino's expression was somewhat strange, and she seemed reluctant... because she had also heard everyone talking about taking turns resting and taking turns fighting monsters.

Damn, she's the one attracting the monsters! She uses her talent to lure them over and then starts farming. If that's really the case, then she doesn't need to sleep at all!

Are all her classmates this dedicated? Is it too late to object now? Yukino Yukinoshita was extremely frustrated at this moment; her classmates' enthusiasm was a bit excessive!
