I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhaolin nearly coughed up blood.

"Two? That's all left???"

"How many missions have you taken on?"

"That hasn't been calculated."

"???"

"I've already finished two or three before."

"???"

Seeing Lu Yun's infuriating expression, Qi Zhaolin gritted his teeth in hatred.

Others might never see one in their entire lives, but he gets tasks practically offered to him.

"Could I ask... what are those two missions of yours? I'll see if I can help you with them."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun spoke up as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Oh, you're asking about that? Well, you can't help with that. You can't beat either the exclusive quest or the faction quest."

"puff!!!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhaolin actually spat out a mouthful of blood, and even his voice rose a few decibels.

"What the hell??? An exclusive mission???"

Qi Zhaolin flashed in front of Lu Yun, grabbed Lu Yun's shoulder, and pushed the bewildered Xu Qingmeng away.

"You actually received a personal mission???"

"It's just a special mission, is it really that big of a deal?"

"Is it really necessary???"

"You took the 'ma' character out of my hand!!!"

Qi Zhaolin's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

"Tell me, is your exclusive quest specific to your class, your equipment, or your weapon?"

Lu Yun was taken aback, a little curious.

"Weapon-specific, what's the difference?"

"This is a huge difference! Wait, it's weapon-specific?"

Qi Zhaolin's eyelids twitched, and his expression changed.

"It really is, it really is..."

He seemed to have thought of something and began muttering to himself with a wandering gaze. Lu Yun wondered what was wrong with him and tilted his head suspiciously.

Are you alright?

Qi Zhaolin suddenly snapped back to his senses, then gave a stiff smile.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy. Oh right, what's the task for you?"

Lu Yun looked him over suspiciously.

"I've already done two, and I still need to go to the Sacred Barrier, the Holy City of Heaven, and the Abyss Battlefield."

Qi Zhaolin was taken aback.

"The Ten Legendary Secret Realms?"

Qi Zhaolin's eyes were filled with indescribable complexity, but this time he was quite decisive and gave Lu Yun two tokens directly.

"The Sacred Barrier opens tomorrow, and the Holy City of Heaven opens the day after. You're really lucky, kid."

"As for the Abyss Battlefield, you have to go there. You need to collect all the passes from the old man. You can enter that instance anytime."

Lu Yun nodded, surprised that the timing was so coincidental.

"Oh, right?"

At this moment, Qi Zhaolin seemed to remember something.

"You said you have a faction quest?"

He slowly widened his eyes, his face stiff with astonishment.

"Don't tell me you've already accepted that quest for the Golden Emblem?"

"Yes, that's the emblem."

"Oh, this..."

Qi Zhaolin slowly opened his mouth in shock, completely dumbfounded.

"What incredible luck you have... my goodness..."

The emblem had been touched by at least dozens of people, but none of them had been able to receive the mission associated with it.

The result was given to him, and he received it immediately; it's absolutely outrageous.

"A divine body with innate mission?"

"What did you say?"

"Huh? Oh...it's nothing..."

Qi Zhaolin gave an awkward laugh and couldn't help but swallow.

"It seems you truly are the chosen one."

"Damn, you're only just realizing this now?"

"???"

Qi Zhaolin's eyelids twitched, and he felt a surge of anger. This kid was good in every way, except that he didn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young!

That foul mouth of his, it's like it's been poisoned.

"Alright, I really can't help you with the faction quest. Now, there's something very important I need to tell you."

He looked at Xu Qingmeng with a serious expression, but Lu Yun simply pushed him away and hugged Xu Qingmeng in his arms.

"You old fool, you're getting too close to me. I've said it before, I like beautiful women, not hand-to-hand combat!"

"..."

Qi Zhaolin's veins bulged, but seeing Lu Yun's expression, he knew that Lu Yun had made his stance clear.

"This matter is a bit complicated; you'll need to conquer a very dangerous... um... secret realm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun stopped joking.

For Qi Zhaolin to say it's dangerous, this is clearly not a simple secret realm.

"However, although this matter is urgent, it cannot be rushed. Minister Lin's idea is for me to contact you first, to give you a heads-up."

His statement was too vague and offered no explanation whatsoever.

But Lu Yun knew that this was because things were too complicated, not because Xu Qingmeng was there.

Lu Yun frowned and thought for a moment.

"Is this important?"

Qi Zhaolin took a deep breath and looked at him with utmost seriousness.

"It concerns the fate and future of the Dragon Kingdom, and also the lives of many people."

"Okay, I agree."

Qi Zhaolin was taken aback, not expecting him to agree so readily.

"So... you agreed?"

Lu Yun smiled.

"You and Old Deng protected me, gave me power, gave me prestige—wasn't it all for this day?"

His words were direct, but they left Qi Zhaolin silent for a long time.

He stared silently at Lu Yun, then took a step back, straightened his appearance, and bowed formally to Lu Yun.

"Thank you."

Lu Yun was taken aback and couldn't help but suppress his smile.

"You're making me a little confused."

"No, you deserve it."

Qi Zhaolin straightened up and smiled.

"Not just me, all Chinese people should bow to you."

"However, this matter is really too complicated and difficult, so we have to take it one step at a time."

Lu Yun became unusually serious.

"Alright, go ahead and tell me."

"First, the first step is to give you the City Lord's Decree, so that you can become the City Lord."

"Although the City Lord's Token is expensive, we can solve this problem, provided you first become a city lord..."

"Huh?! Um... wait a minute."

Lu Yun pursed his lips, a little embarrassed, and took out a token.

"I only have a level 2 City Lord's Token, is that enough?"

Upon seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar token, Qi Zhaolin nearly popped his eyes out.

Qi Zhaolin was deceived.

Qi Zhaolin was astonished.

Qi Zhaolin now feels like he wants to die.

He trembled with anger, his whole body shaking as he gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Yun.

Then... he angrily threw down a sentence and disappeared on the spot.

"God is so unfair... God is so unfair!!!"

Lu Yun clicked his tongue and sighed helplessly.

"This old man has really gotten too angry."

"puff!!!"

Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but chuckle, hiding in Lu Yun's arms as she laughed, her shoulders shaking.

Seeing this, Lu Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"No, this really isn't my fault. He should have asked me beforehand, he shouldn't have done this."

"Sigh... how could it be my fault that I got the City Lord's Token..."

Qi Zhaolin left, and the people below were all staring at him with gleaming eyes.

Lu Yun didn't want to be a monkey, so he took Xu Qingmeng back to the villa the academy had given him.

Since the secret realm won't open until tomorrow anyway, he can take a break and enjoy the dinner that Xu Qingmeng made herself to soothe his wounded heart after being hurt by Dong Fan and the others.

But honestly, they were really lucky.

The Holy Barrier will open tomorrow, and the Holy City of Heaven will open the day after tomorrow. In that case, he will be able to get the exclusive weapon in no time.

Moreover, he is already level 291. After completing the fifth job advancement and turning in the quest, the level of his exclusive weapon should be able to be upgraded again.

In addition, there are the rewards from the two Divine Refinement Talent events: the mission and the career advancement.

Delicious.

I just don't know what level of weapon they'll get.

gold?

Or...red?
