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

The night after the celebration banquet was not as peaceful as I had imagined.

Gu Xu returned to the huge detached villa, hoping to finally get a good night's sleep.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw Wang Tiantian, the head of the staff corps, leading more than a dozen female officers busy in the living room.

The holographic projection screen covered half of the wall.

Various complex curves and realistic simulation images flashed on it.

Wang Tiantian stood in front of the huge holographic projection, her expression more cold and stern than that of a data analyst compared to her usual gentle housekeeper demeanor.

She pushed up her glasses and her long, slender fingers flew across the virtual keyboard.

"Your Highness, although it's not good to pour cold water on things now, I must make it clear to you what kind of hellish place the job change dungeon you're about to face really is."

Su Qiong and Jiang Shu also sat on the sofa, their expressions no longer relaxed as before.

"You speak, I'm listening."

Gu Xu pulled up a chair and sat down.

Ok!

As she finished speaking, a 3D map appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was a gloomy and eerie underground labyrinth, intricate and complex, like a giant, winding serpent coiled deep within the earth.

"Instance Name: Corridor of Despair"

"The location is deep within an abandoned subway line in Dachang City, within the Zhejiang Province."

"Officially rated as Nightmare difficulty LV15."

"Please note that this dungeon is typically designed for full-strength elite teams of five. According to statistics from the last three years, even well-equipped five-person teams have a success rate of less than 10%, and the death rate..."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Gu Xu: "As high as 68%."

Upon hearing this number, Jiang Shu, sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but shudder.

The tablet in my hand almost slipped from my grasp.

A mortality rate of 68 percent means that for every three teams that enter the field...

Two teams were about to be wiped out inside.

"The reason this dungeon is so difficult is because of its terrain and monster configuration."

With a swipe of her finger, Wang Tiantian zoomed in on the map instantly.

It was divided into three bright red areas.

"First area, highly toxic sewers. The environment here is filled with a constant stream of corrosive toxic gas; without high-level antidotes, you'll lose health just by standing there."

A bloated and ugly monster model popped up on the holographic screen.

"The boss guarding this place is named Stitching Corpse Demon Patch (LV15 Elite)."

"This isn't a normal creature; it's a monster stitched together from countless corpses, with a whopping 200,000 HP, and it even has a high rate of HP regeneration!"

"Moreover, the passive skill 'Plague Cloud' can make melee classes suffer terribly."

"Its hook can instantly pull a target 30 meters away to its side, followed by a dismemberment combo. Usually, a squishy mage who gets hooked is instantly killed."

Gu Xu raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself: Isn't this just an enhanced version of the killer who will die if he doesn't move around?

"Second area, the silent clock tower."

Wang Tiantian continued to switch screens.

The monster model that appeared this time was an elusive ghost, holding a broken dagger in its hand.

"The boss of this level is 'Shadow Assassin - Faceless One' (LV15 Lord)."

"Its most annoying feature is its invisibility and silence. It will randomly enter stealth during combat, and its next attack will always be a critical hit."

Its skill, "Silent Throat Cut," prevents mages from casting any spells for five seconds.

"For mages, this is their natural enemy."

At this moment, even Su Qiong, who was usually carefree, became serious.

It's one thing for a physics department to be a Frankenstein's monster.

This assassin with the silence ability is practically designed to counter mages.

"Finally, the job advancement target you will face is the final boss of the third area."

Wang Tiantian took a deep breath and conjured a black shadow whose specific shape was indistinct.

"Abyss Projection (LV??? Lord-level)"

"We cannot know its specific data because it is a special BOSS generated exclusively for your job quest."

"But according to the system's rating of the word 'Abyss,' its attributes are definitely no lower than those of a world boss of the same level."

"It is highly likely to possess the ability to control gravity, distort space, and even directly attack the soul."

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

Even Jiang Shu, who had the most confidence in Gu Xu, was affected.

My throat feels a little dry right now.

This is hardly a job change quest.

This is clearly making someone who has just left the beginner village fight three dragons in a row!

"Is this system out of its mind?"

Su Qiong slammed her hand on the table, breaking the silence: "Let a mage solo a dungeon with this kind of setup? The first Frankenstein monster is manageable, but how are they going to deal with the second Silent Assassin?"

"Once silenced at close range, isn't a mage just a lamb to the slaughter?"

"And there's that abyss projection of who-knows-what..."

Su Qiong scratched her hair in frustration: "This is clearly a case of them not wanting anyone to get by!"

Seeing Su Qiong's even more anxious expression than his own, Gu Xu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He chuckled softly, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip. "Sister Qiong, calm down. If the mission is easy, what kind of unique profession is it?"

"You can still laugh, kid?"

Su Qiong glared at him: "Do you know what this means? It means that even a small mistake could cost you your life!"

Don't worry.

Gu Xu put down his teacup and said calmly, "That Frankenstein's monster, Twitch will teach it what real poison is. As for that assassin... my bride's favorite is that kind of little mouse that likes to play hide-and-seek."

"In the face of absolute power, mechanics are nothing more than fancy decorations."

Gu Xu's words were not blind arrogance.

After witnessing the Bride of the Ghosts' incredible ability to instantly kill.

He has gained a new understanding of the so-called "difficulty".

Unless a god personally descends, he is invincible among those of the same level.

"No, I'm not comfortable with that."

Su Qiong was not convinced by Gu Xu's confidence.

She stood up and paced back and forth in the room, her high heels clicking rapidly on the floor.

"There's still one day left."

Su Qiong abruptly stopped, a resolute glint in her eyes: "We must maximize the margin for error!"

She turned to look at Jiang Shu: "Xiao Shu, you don't have to do anything tomorrow."

"Go to the logistics department and get all those 10x experience scrolls from the warehouse! Tomorrow, take Gu Xu to the advanced leveling area. Even if we have to use resources, we have to get him to level 15 before we enter the dungeon!"

"in addition……"

Su Qiong looked at Gu Xu, her tone leaving no room for doubt, "Your equipment is still level 10, the stats aren't good enough."

"I'll go and submit a report to Lao Xu, asking him to bring out his level 15 legendary mage set, Star Fury. That set comes with an invincibility shield and teleportation, making it much more survivable than your current set."

"With this set of equipment, plus the level advantage, this dungeon will be a viable challenge."
