These were far off concerns for Lu Li, as he wasn't even a Regular Investigator yet.
However, Lu Li was quite interested in the difficulty grading of the events. The difficulty of the exam to turn from an apprentice into a regular was only three-quarters of the simple level, and the Seeker's trial was in Shadow Swamp... Did that mean Shadow Swamp was not even simple level?
Or was this difficulty referring to the event's difficulty, rather than the inherent difficulty of Shadow Swamp itself.
This passage turned out to be unexpectedly long. Tristan had been talking for several minutes, and finally, something up ahead changed.
Stone stairs extending upward appeared at the end of the tunnel.
With the electric light spilling from above, Lu Li followed Tristan to the top of the stairs, where an old-fashioned wooden door stood incongruent with the overall style of the Investigator Base.
Tristan pushed open the wooden door, and a row of bookshelves filled with books appeared behind it.
