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

After all, that was his savings accumulated over several years, and now he heard that Gu Xu had caused such a commotion after only one hour inside.

They probably felt the risk was too high and wanted to cut their losses in time.

Xu Sen ignored Su Qiong's sarcasm. He took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision that went against his ancestors, and extended a hand to Su Qiong.

Give me the form.

"No!"

Su Qiong shook her head vigorously, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; there's no reason to ask for her back. If you want the receipt back, you'll have to step over my dead body."

"Who said I was going to ask for it back?"

Xu Sen rolled his eyes dramatically, his pained expression completely vanishing.

"I told you to take it back, and I'll add some more!"

"what?"

This time it was Su Qiong's turn to be stunned. She blinked, wondering if she had misheard: "What did you just say? Add... some more?"

"nonsense!"

Xu Sen snatched the form from Su Qiong's hand, pulled a red pen from the pen holder, and frantically scribbled on it while gritting his teeth and saying, "Level 8 in just over an hour! One-shotting a level 13 elite monster! What does that even mean?"

"This means that as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely become a ninth-tier being in the future, or even someone who touches that barrier!"

"What can those S-grade resources do with a seedling of this caliber? Are they enough to feed a beggar?"

"Not enough mage bracers! Add that Voidwalker set I've been saving! And that Deep Blue Tear pendant that increases mana regeneration, approved too!"

"Also, go to the warehouse and get two hundred sets of high-grade magic potions, the kind that restores health instantly, not the ordinary kind!"

Xu Sen's pen scribbled across the paper as he muttered to himself, "When it comes to investing, either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly."

"If we don't offer help now, what good will our meager assistance be once they've become gods?"

Looking at Xu Sen, who seemed to be going crazy and wanted to empty the entire logistics department, Su Qiong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She crossed her arms, leaned against the desk, and clicked her tongue in amazement: "Wow, Lao Xu, you're usually so stingy, even using both sides of a sheet of printing paper. I didn't expect you to be so decisive in a critical moment."

"You bastard, you're just playing favorites."

Xu Sen didn't even look up, and snorted, "Enough nonsense, I'm doing this for the future of the legion."

"Besides, as long as this kid can get back on his feet, I'll make him pay back tenfold, a hundredfold, what I gave away today!"

"This is called strategic investment. What do you know, you crazy woman who only knows how to fight and kill?"

……

On the other side, a hidden wilderness.

As time goes by.

Gu Xu's experience points were increasing at an increasingly exaggerated rate.

Nearly three hours might be just the time it takes for an ordinary person to scroll through their phone or daydream, but for Gu Xu, it was a momentous change.

The ground around him was now covered with a thick layer of black ash.

Those were remnants that dissipated after the monster died.

A faint smell of burning and blood filled the air.

"call--"

Gu Xu let out a sigh of relief and casually tossed the empty beverage bottle aside.

Just now, a dazzling golden light rose up from his body once again.

[Ding! Congratulations! Your level has increased to LV10!]

[All attributes +20! Mental strength greatly increased!]

[You have surpassed level 10. The cooldown of your class talent 'Servant of Calamity (Conceptual)' has been refreshed!]

[Currently available summon quantity: 1!]

Upon hearing this pleasant system notification sound...

Gu Xu's previously somewhat lazy gaze instantly sharpened.

finally come.

Although the Bride of the Ghosts is ridiculously strong, enough to make him do whatever he wants here.

But as a man who aspires to be the mastermind behind the scenes (scratch that)... a man who aspires to follow the summoning route, who would complain about having too many underlings?

"Jiang Shu, stop for a moment."

Gu Xu shouted behind him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu immediately ran to Gu Xu's side.

"What's wrong, Your Highness? Are you tired? Would you like to rest for a while? Let me give you a shoulder massage?"

Jiang Shu has no temper at all now, and her face is full of flattery.

Just kidding, we have to stick close to this kind of powerful figure.

"It's not that I'm tired."

Gu Xu shook his head, a mysterious smile appearing on his lips. "A new partner is coming."

"A new partner?"

Jiang Shu was taken aback, then her eyes lit up. "You mean... you can summon again?"

She glanced subconsciously at the strange bride standing quietly not far away, whose beauty was beyond compare.

Although the Ghost Bride is terrifying, it must be admitted that her looks and temperament are absolutely top-notch.

Since they were summoned by the same class, the second summon must also have this art style, right?

"Wow! What will it be like? A handsome skeleton general? Or a cold and beautiful vampire queen?"

Jiang Shu cupped her hands around her heart, her face full of anticipation: "Your Highness, hurry, hurry, let me see!"

Seeing Jiang Shu's star-struck expression, Gu Xu found it somewhat amusing.

"I don't know, it's random."

"But since it's a calamity-type, it should... be quite unique, right?"

Gu Xu stopped wasting words and closed his eyes to communicate with the mysterious professional mark in his mind.

"Talent - Servant of Calamity, activated!"

[Command confirmed...Communicating with the calamity node in the river of time...]

[In response to your call, a messenger who once sowed despair and disease across the land is awakening...]

At this moment, the temperature in the vicinity did not drop sharply like it had last time.

Instead, a nauseating, damp heat appeared out of nowhere.

The originally dry air instantly became thick and sticky, as if every breath was not of oxygen.

It was actually biogas from the sewers that had been fermenting for a long time.

"vomit--"

Jiang Shu's expectant expression froze instantly, then her face turned pale, and she covered her mouth and gagged, "What... what is this smell? Why does it stink so bad?"

Before he could finish speaking, the space in front of Gu Xu began to distort.

There was no red light, and no petals.

Only a dark green, pus-like mist slowly seeped out from the void.

When the mist touched the ground, it made a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

The ground instantly turned into pitch-black silt.

Immediately afterwards, a small figure crawled out from the foul-smelling green mist.

It was a mouse.

But it's definitely not an ordinary rat.

It was about the size of a house cat, walked upright, and wore a tattered gray cloak.

He was holding a cane made from a human leg bone.

Most of its fur has fallen off, and its exposed skin is covered with pustules of varying sizes, some of which are oozing a yellowish-green liquid.

Its tiny, bean-sized eyes gleamed with a cunning and malicious green light, and its long tail dragged on the ground.

Wherever it goes, it leaves behind trails of slime filled with viruses and bacteria.
