Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

The reward was already in hand upon first sight.

This reward is limited to "Skills", so the skill that will be upgraded is Swift Sword Technique, while Friendship Sniper will be at max level.

Zuo Chang actually hoped that his "natural sword bone" could be improved.

The Swift Wind Sword Technique is the upper limit, while innate sword bones are the lower limit.

With his innate sword bone level elevated, Zuo Chang's casual sword strikes possess a power that is unmatched by ordinary people!

He will become a true master swordsman, able to learn any sword technique directly, regardless of skill level, because they will all be powerful.

However, you can't be picky about things you get for free.

Find an opportunity to go to the first floor and complete the subsequent tasks. You can get three more evolution points, which you can then use to upgrade your innate sword bone.

"how?"

Commander Eagle chuckled and asked.

Zuo Chang smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander! I have indeed had an epiphany, and my skill level has improved!"

"Humph."

The bat let out a cold snort, its disdain evident in its expression.

Commander Eagle, with a beaming smile, said, "There are more benefits to come! Let's go, let's go to the second floor first."

He took the lead and walked forward.

The secret passage wasn't short, but it wasn't dangerous.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the group passed through a low cave and was immediately bathed in light.

Zuo Chang looked around and found himself standing in front of a courtyard.

It's exactly the same as the game.

The secret passage they had previously traversed was an escape route built by the city lord of Sky City. The courtyard where they were now standing was the courtyard of the city lord's mansion.

Sky City is an ancient civilization, and it's unknown how long it has been abandoned.

At this moment, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds and in a mess.

However, all the buildings are quite well preserved. The pavilions and fountains are only superficially worn, without any damage. There are no cracks in the walls, and they look very sturdy.

"I really miss those days!"

For no apparent reason, Commander Eagle sighed.

He looked around, his gaze very gentle, as if he were looking at an old friend: "Zuo Chang, do you know? I have stayed here for countless days and nights. Suddenly returning to this place, I feel quite emotional."

Zuo Chang asked, "Are you specializing in tackling this dungeon?"

"Yes. There must have been hundreds of times, maybe even a thousand."

"Oh……"

Zuo Chang nodded, unsurprised.

Adventurers have different abilities; some are suited to this type of dungeon, while others are suited to that type. Specializing in the dungeons that suit them is a reasonable and intelligent approach.

When he played the game, he also had attendants specifically in charge of Sky City.

Sky City is just a low-level Elite 1-star dungeon. Its output is decent in the early stages of the game, but it becomes unreliable later on.

Zuo Chang recalled that after his community reached four digits, he disbanded the team and banished the servants who were dedicated to conquering Sky City.

"General, you've arrived?"

A voice sounded from behind.

A woman in a kimono walked out of the city lord's mansion.

Commander Ying smiled and said, "It's Miss Ryoko! Is Lady Yaotai inside?"

Lady Yaotai...

Zuo Chang raised his eyes, quite interested.

The woman in the kimono said, "Yes, we have cleaned several rooms in the lord's mansion for you to rest in. If it's convenient for you—I can take you there?"

"Gecko, you go with Miss Ryoko and settle Zuo Chang in first," Commander Ying instructed. "I have something to discuss with Madam Yaotai."

……

……

General Eagle has come up with a brilliant new plan, which he believes is highly feasible!

but……

This plan depends on whether Lady Yaotai is willing to cooperate.

Lady Yaotai was, after all, a general of her generation, and Commander Ying dared not make decisions on his own. If she was unwilling, there was nothing that could be done but to give up.

Upon arriving at a room, Commander Ying knocked on the door and asked, "Lady Yaotai, are you there?"

"Is this Commander Eagle? Come in."

"Excuse me!"

Eagle General entered the room and saw Lady Yaotai and the Thousand Transformers Xia Li at a table.

He acted swiftly and directly, saying, "Lady Yaotai, I have a plan that I would like to discuss with you and the Great Immortal Tanuki."

"plan?"

Lady Yaotai smiled slightly and brewed a cup of hot tea for Commander Ying: "It must be a brilliant plan, right?"

That's right!

Commander Ying was in high spirits and explained his plan in detail. He did not mention Zuo Chang's existence for the time being, only giving a general outline of the idea.

Lady Yaotai was somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Indeed, it's feasible! Without a proper name, words will lack authority. Qian Wuyi claims to be the 'legitimate successor of the Heavenly King General.' If we can truly fabricate a 'Heavenly King General,' his reputation will be ruined! When he's despised by everyone and condemned by all, his downfall will only be a matter of time. However…"

Commander Eagle asked, "But what?"

Xia Li interjected, "But, Commander, where are you going to find the 'Heavenly King General'? You don't mean to make me transform, do you?"

Eagle General was taken aback, realizing the blind spot: "That's right! Great Immortal Tanuki, you can transform!"

Does that mean we don't need Zuo Chang anymore?

"I can transform into anyone, except my Lord."

"……why is that?"

Xia Li sighed softly and said, "My transformation technique requires me to imagine it in my mind beforehand. My unique ability allows me to accurately and perfectly construct the image of any creature, but... General Tianwang is an exception."

General Eagle still didn't understand: "What?"

"Further discussion is pointless; I'll make a change."

As Xia Li spoke, she placed a leaf on her head.

Colorless yet tangible magical power surrounded her body. Xia Li clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and activated her transformation technique.

"Oh!"

After a puff of white smoke, Xia Li completed her transformation.

Dazzling.

So dazzling.

A sudden burst of intense light appeared, and both Commander Ying and Lady Yaotai squinted their eyes, seeing Xia Li's entire body radiating golden light, looking incredibly sacred!

Eagle General asked in surprise, "Great Immortal Fox, why are you glowing?"

Xia Li remained unfazed: "In my perception, my Lord possesses an aura that cannot be looked down upon. When I transform into the likeness of my Lord, I naturally radiate holy light."

What's the reason for this?

Lady Yaotai carefully examined Xia Li's current appearance and said, "Xia Li, you—you look quite different from the general I remember. The general shouldn't have been... he shouldn't have been as handsome as you are now."

"Ugh."

Xia Li sighed softly and said, "That's why I can't transform into my master. Every time I imagine my master's appearance, I uncontrollably beautify his image, and in the end, I become a perfect master who only exists in my mind... but that's not what my master looks like."

"Oh!"

Another puff of white smoke appeared, and Xia Li withdrew her supernatural powers.

She picked up her teacup and looked at Commander Eagle: "Commander, do you understand now? I cannot transform into my lord because I deeply revere him from the bottom of my heart. This reverence even transcends the limitations of my abilities."

It's like a small knife pulling a big hole, opening the eyes of Commander Eagle.

He smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "Gentlemen, do you believe that there are two identical leaves in this world?"

Lady Yaotai and Xia Li both turned to look.

Commander Eagle slammed his fist on the table and declared in a powerful voice, "When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength! Lady Yaotai, Immortal Fox, just now, I encountered a young man who looks remarkably like the Heavenly King General—no, practically identical! He is perfectly capable of fulfilling our needs!"

"Oh?"

Lady Yaotai asked, "Who is he? Where is he?"

Commander Ying laughed and said, "His name is Zuo Chang, and he lives right here!"

Chapter 68 I simply can't handle this situation.

"Oh……"

A deep, satisfying roar seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul.

Zuo Chang glanced at the person in front of him and said, "Gecko, don't make any strange noises."

The gecko smiled slightly: "Sorry, it was too comfortable! You truly deserve to be the champion of the elite soldier assessment; this healing magic is amazing!"

The gecko had only received initial treatment in the drainpipe.

Now that they had a place to stay, Zuo Chang once again used his gentle, nurturing touch to help the gecko recover from its injuries.

can only say--

A skill at level 15 is ridiculous.
