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

Gu Xu no longer needs to walk.

Twitch's sly figure was like a green lightning bolt, paving the way ahead.

Its "Decay Aura" is simply a god-tier skill for clearing maps.

As soon as it dives into the monster horde, the monsters within a radius of tens of meters begin to lose health collectively, and a series of green numbers appear above their heads.

Then Gu Xu only needed to follow behind, like a leader inspecting work, slowly waiting for the experience points to accumulate.

"Ding! Killed a LV11 Corpse Hound, gained 400 experience points (10x bonus)!"

"Ding! The talent 'Calamity Growth' has been triggered. Panic value +1, experience +30!"

……

Despite the penalty of bottleneck suppression, with the support of the tenfold experience scroll and dual talents, Gu Xu's experience bar was still slowly creeping at an appalling rate.

This "slowness" is relative to his previous rocket-like speed.

If those newbies outside who are still struggling to kill monsters saw this...

He'll probably be so angry he'll smash his equipment.

Four hours later.

Gu Xu was sitting on a clean rock, drinking soda, when he suddenly felt a faint golden light flash around him before it completely disappeared.

That exhilarating feeling, as if one were constantly being enlightened, also disappeared.

"Damn, that's it?"

Gu Xu smacked his lips, seemingly still wanting more.

"Your Highness, it's been six hours."

Jiang Shu glanced at the time and rubbed her temples wearily. "Even the donkeys in the production team need a rest, right? That roll of paper is a legendary consumable; it's already at its limit if it lasts for six hours."

Gu Xu glanced at his attribute panel.

[Level: 11 (5%)]

After six hours of intense monster grinding, plus ten times the experience, he finally reached level 11 after breaking through the seemingly insurmountable experience barrier of level 10.

"Only level 11..."

Gu Xu sighed somewhat dissatisfyingly, "Without the first turn, it really slows down the pace."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness! Be kind and considerate!"

Jiang Shu couldn't help but complain, "Do you know how long it takes for an ordinary person to level up from level 10 to level 11? Even for our legion's elites, if they were stuck and forced to grind without changing classes, it would take at least half a month!"

"You've only been here a few hours? If word gets out, all those newbies still hunting rabbits in the starting village will be mortified!"

Gu Xu chuckled and didn't refute.

He stood up and patted the dirt off his backside...

He casually tossed the empty bottle aside.

"Alright, since the reel is gone, let's get out of here."

He glanced at the deeper, darker area in the distance, which was a monster zone with monsters of level 15 and above.

Although he was confident he could get it...

But there's no need to waste time on that little bit of reduced experience.

The most urgent task now is to go back and take on the job change quest to break free from that shackle.

"Wife, that's a wrap! Mouse, come back here!"

As Gu Xu summoned him, two beams of light, one red and one green, entered his body.

The suffocating cold and stench around them vanished instantly.

The air became fresh again.

"Let's go back to the city!"

……

The off-road vehicle roared back to the Godslayer Legion's base.

When Gu Xu and Jiang Shu stepped into the silver-white medical center lobby again.

The atmosphere was clearly completely different from before.

A few hours earlier, when Gu Xu first walked in, he was greeted by the scrutinizing, curious, and even somewhat mocking and disdainful gazes of those veteran soldiers.

After all, in the military, seniority and ability are everything.

Even if you're an S-rank recruit, before you show your true colors, you're still just a baby who hasn't been weaned.

But now, Gu Xu's figure appears at the door.

For a few seconds, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence.

"He's back... Is that Gu Xu?"

"I heard he caused quite a stir on the outskirts of the newbie's secret realm?"

"Have you cleared out the Black Rock Forest area?"

"It's more than just clearing the area. I heard from the brothers in the Azure Dragon Legion that this kid brought a female ghost in red. She can kill anyone she sees instantly; even a level 13 elite BOSS couldn't withstand a single move!"

"Holy crap, really? What level is he now?"

"I don't know, it seems like it only just awakened when I left this morning? It should be at least level four or five by now?"

Whispers spread like a tide all around.

Those previously indifferent glances.

At this moment, everything turned into naked awe and exploration.

Especially the burly man who had wanted to give Gu Xu a hard time earlier, was now cowering in the corner pretending to change his dressing, not daring to even lift his head, for fear that the red-clothed female ghost would suddenly jump out and give him another "cryotherapy".

Gu Xu walked through the hall with a calm expression and without looking to the side.

He doesn't dislike this attention; in fact, he enjoys it.

In this world where power reigns supreme, one is revered.

It's much more comfortable than being treated like a pushover.

However, among these reverent gazes, one particular look stood out.

Unlike the others, his gaze wasn't filled with shock, but rather with a deep scrutiny, like a venomous snake in a dark corner, silently observing its prey.

Behind a load-bearing column in the hall.

A middle-aged man in a colonel's uniform was leaning against the wall.

He held an unlit cigarette between his fingers.

He looked to be in his forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, giving off an aura of righteousness.

But occasionally, a subtle, sinister glint would flash deep within his eyes.

Zhao Feng, deputy commander of the 6th Regiment of the Godslayer Legion, a level 49 offensive warrior.

Within the legion, Zhao Feng had always been well-regarded. He was known for his generosity, bravery in battle, and was considered an elder brother figure by many.

"Gu Xu..."

Zhao Feng silently repeated the name in his heart, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the cigarette butt.

He had heard some information about this newcomer before, such as "conceptual level" and "unique profession," but it was all kept very secret.

He initially thought the military was exaggerating to create hype.

After all, every year there are so-called "geniuses" who fall from grace.

But what happened today...

Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes, watching Gu Xu's relaxed steps and Jiang Shu's expression of being on high alert yet full of excitement.

As a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years, his intuition told him that this young man possessed a terrifying power that was enough to disrupt the balance.

"Instantly killing a level 13 elite BOSS... Even if it was achieved with items, the potential and explosive power are astonishing."

"If he grows up, he will be a huge variable."

Zhao Feng took a deep breath and crushed the cigarette in his hand into powder.

He casually straightened his collar.

He turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Since he wanted to get detailed information about this person, he had to find a way to find out more about him.

And the best breakthrough point...

It was naturally Dr. Zhang, who seemed to have no ulterior motives and was responsible for performing Gu Xu's physical examination.
