The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

LV7!

"Phew...that feels good."

Gu Xu took a deep breath, feeling as if every pore on his body opened up.

Jiang Shu, standing beside her, was completely numb at this moment.

She stared blankly at the mess on the ground, the staff she was holding still in her hand, the light of the Holy Light Shield looking particularly awkward in the air.

"This...this is a level 13 elite boss..."

Jiang Shu muttered to herself, feeling as if her worldview had shattered into pieces.

After all, even at Gu Xu's level, she would have to kite a monster for a while to wear it down.

Gu Xu was just...crushed to death like that?

She turned to look at Gu Xu, her eyes filled not only with admiration but also with a sense of horror as if she were looking at a monster.

Is this the only hidden profession?

Is this what you call conceptual-level talent?

This isn't a place to level up, it's a place to buy goods!

Looking at the blood and experience points flying everywhere, Jiang Shu had long since thrown away any sense of pride she had as a senior, and replaced it with a firm belief called "clinging to a powerful figure".

This is hardly the image of a prince.

This is clearly a solid gold thigh studded with diamonds!

If I can keep following this guy, I could probably become the world's number one support even if I'm just sitting on the sidelines eating sunflower seeds during dungeons.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu's eyes lit up, and she took out a specially made military communicator from her pocket.

This is such a good thing, I must report it to my supervisor immediately!

……

The capital city, the headquarters of the God-Slaying Army, the office of the Minister of Logistics.

Su Qiong was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, holding a newly signed resource allocation order in her hand, her face full of a victor's smile.

Across from her, the logistics minister clutched his chest in obvious pain, as if he had just had several pounds of flesh cut off.

This man is named Xu Sen. He has thinning hair, wears thick-rimmed glasses, is the Minister of Logistics of the Godslayer Legion, the chief steward of the entire legion, and also the baldest man in the entire legion.

"Old Su, it's not that I'm stingy with things!"

Xu Sen spread his hands and began to pour out his grievances: "You know how things are for our 18th Army lately; even the landlords don't have surplus grain!"

"As you know, the equipment was severely damaged in the last battle with the demons. Now, even a rat that goes into the warehouse would come out with tears in its eyes."

"The military is cutting our budget again, and I wish I could split every penny in half to spend."

As a thrifty housekeeper, Xu Sen had to ensure that every penny was spent wisely.

If it were just an ordinary S-class or even SS-class, it wouldn't be worth using so many strategic reserves.

"Alright, Lao Xu, stop looking so dead."

Su Qiong was in high spirits, flicking the documents in her hand: "I told you, this is an investment. Once that kid grows up, he can easily bring you back a few first-clear records for rare dungeons, and your investment will be hundreds of times more profitable, right?"

"That's one thing..."

Xu Sen sighed and picked up his teacup. "But I still have a problem. Conceptual level stuff is too unpredictable. What if this kid is only strong in the early stages and then weakens later?"

"Our legion has staked its entire future resources for the next few years on this."

"If he's weak, I'll personally whip him."

Su Qiong waved her hand domineeringly: "I have a feeling that this kid is definitely someone who can cause a huge mess."

Just then, Su Qiong's communicator on the table vibrated.

She glanced at the screen; it was Jiang Shu calling.

"Oh, looks like there's some news."

Su Qiong raised an eyebrow, answered the phone, and casually pressed the speakerphone button: "How's it going, Xiao Jiang? Is our young master crying from fright, or is he being chased all over the place by a monster?"

She joked like that, but she didn't really expect Gu Xu to have any earth-shattering performance on the first day.

After all, he's just a newbie who recently switched jobs...

Being able to adapt to the monster-hunting environment in the wild is already quite good.

However, the voice coming from the other end of the communicator was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Sister Qiong! She's gone mad! Absolutely mad!"

Jiang Shu's voice was so loud it almost distorted the speakers, "This Gu Xu you brought back... he's simply not human!"

Su Qiong was taken aback, her brows furrowing slightly: "What are you talking about? Did the monster knock your brains out?"

Xu Sen, who was standing nearby, also came over and listened intently.

"No! I mean he's too strong!"

Jiang Shu shouted incoherently, "Sister Qiong, do you know what's going on? Gu Xu is leveling up, but he doesn't move at all! He's relying entirely on that summoned creature!"

"Efficiency? I'm asking about efficiency!"

Su Qiong interrupted her rambling and got straight to the point.

"efficiency?"

Jiang Shu took a deep breath: "We've only been inside for less than an hour... and he's already cleared out the outer perimeter!"

"Just now, he even one-shotted a level 13 elite boss! A one-hit kill! The corpse was completely obliterated!"

"And... he's already level 7! He'll be level 8 soon!"

"Even the so-called war god of the First Legion back then is nothing compared to this!"

"What?!"

"puff--"

Xu Sen, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea, spraying it all over the documents on the table.

"Level 8 in just over an hour?"

Xu Sen, not even bothering to wipe his mouth, stared wide-eyed like saucers: "He's a newbie? On his first day? He one-shotted a level 13 elite boss?"

Su Qiong was also a little confused.

She had considered that Gu Xu would be very strong, and she had also considered that he might bring her a surprise.

But she never expected the surprise to come so quickly and so intensely—it was a game-changer!

What the hell does this mean?

"and……"

Jiang Shu's voice continued, tinged with a dreamlike daze: "Just as we were talking... his level has already reached level 8..."

"Sister Qiong, I can hardly understand this leveling speed. It's like the experience bar is fake for him."

A brief silence fell over the office.

Su Qiong and Xu Sen exchanged a glance and both saw the violently trembling pupils in each other's eyes.

A few seconds later.

"Hahahahaha!"

Su Qiong suddenly burst into wild laughter. She slammed her hand on the table, nearly shattering the solid wood desk!

"Good! Good lad! You didn't disappoint me!"

"Little Jiang! Listen up!"

"Tell that brat Gu Xu! Don't hold back! Use every experience scroll, every potion, every privilege he can get his hands on!"

"Let him train like crazy! Train him to death!"

"If I don't have enough resources, I'll go rob some! I'll hold the sky up for him if it falls! I just want to see how many levels he can get to today!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Qiong turned her head and looked at Xu Sen, who was still in a daze.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her peach blossom eyes glanced at Xu Sen.

"How's it going, Lao Xu? I told you I was right about my judgment, wasn't I? Is our God-Slaying Army really about to take off this time?"

Xu Sen did not speak.

He didn't even bother to wipe the tea that had just spilled on the table; he simply stood up slowly from his office chair.

That face, which usually carried a hint of worry from being so frugal, was expressionless at this moment.

His eyes were fixed on Su Qiong.

That look in his eyes made Su Qiong feel a little uneasy.

"What are you doing? Are you possessed?"

Su Qiong raised an eyebrow, subconsciously hiding the resource allocation order she had just signed behind her back, and said warily, "Old Xu, I'm warning you, you've signed it and stamped it, this thing is legally binding now. Want to back out? No way!"

In Su Qiong's opinion, Xu Sen, being such a tightwad, must be feeling the pinch from the supplies he had just approved.
