Nangong Ling continued, "Now, let's talk about the two types of dungeons related to skill improvement."
"The first type is called 'Skill Point Dungeons'. These dungeons drop a large amount of Skill Points, which are used to advance your skill tiers. The higher the dungeon's difficulty, the more Skill Points it drops. However, the higher the difficulty, the stronger the monsters inside, and the more dangerous it is for you."
"For example, the 'Sky Temple' dungeon on the first floor is a Skill Point Dungeon. It's relatively easy and safe, but the Skill Points it drops are also relatively few. It's suitable for freshmen like you to farm for now."
"The second type is called 'Specialization Point Dungeons'. These dungeons drop a large amount of Specialization Points, which are used to unlock your skill specializations. The higher the dungeon's difficulty, the more Specialization Points it drops. However, the higher the difficulty, the stronger the monsters inside, and the more dangerous it is for you."
"For example, the 'Abyssal Prison' dungeon on the first floor is a Specialization Point Dungeon. It's relatively difficult and dangerous, but the Specialization Points it drops are also relatively many. It's suitable for intermediate and advanced students to farm."
"Junior, you should allocate some of your daily dungeon attempts to these two types of dungeons. The rest can be allocated to other types of dungeons according to your needs."
Lin Yi nodded, "Thank you, Senior Nangong. I understand."
Nangong Ling smiled, "You're welcome. I'm just doing my duty as a senior."
She continued, "Now, let's talk about the other types of dungeons."
"There are three other types of dungeons in the Dungeon Sanctuary."
"The first type is called 'Experience Dungeons'. These dungeons drop a large amount of experience points, which are used to level up your Class. The higher the dungeon's difficulty, the more experience points it drops. However, the higher the difficulty, the stronger the monsters inside, and the more dangerous it is for you."
"For example, the 'Sky Temple' dungeon on the first floor is an Experience Dungeon. It's relatively easy and safe, but the experience points it drops are also relatively few. It's suitable for freshmen like you to farm for now."
"The second type is called 'Equipment Dungeons'. These dungeons drop a large amount of equipment, which can enhance your combat power. The higher the dungeon's difficulty, the better the equipment it drops. However, the higher the difficulty, the stronger the monsters inside, and the more dangerous it is for you."
"For example, the 'Treasure Vault' dungeon on the first floor is an Equipment Dungeon. It's relatively difficult and dangerous, but the equipment it drops is also relatively good. It's suitable for intermediate and advanced students to farm."
"The third type is called 'Title Dungeons'. These dungeons drop a large amount of Title Points, which are used to unlock your Titles. The higher the dungeon's difficulty, the more Title Points it drops. However, the higher the difficulty, the stronger the monsters inside, and the more dangerous it is for you."
"For example, the 'Trial Tower' dungeon on the first floor is a Title Dungeon. It's relatively difficult and dangerous, but the Title Points it drops are also relatively many. It's suitable for intermediate and advanced students to farm."
Nangong Ling paused and looked at Lin Yi, "Junior, do you have any questions?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Senior Nangong, what about the 'Dungeon of the Dead'?"

"First, you should allocate some attempts to the 'Sky Temple' dungeon to farm for Skill Points and experience points."
"Then, you should allocate some attempts to the 'Abyssal Prison' dungeon to farm for Specialization Points. This dungeon is relatively difficult, so you should only enter it when you're confident in your strength."
