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

Everyone was taken aback and subconsciously looked in the direction Li Bowen was pointing.

When everyone saw a salted fish slapping on the beach, wearing ink stains, drinking juice, and swaying back and forth with its legs crossed, they were all dumbfounded.

"Holy crap?! What the hell kind of salted fish is this?!"

"Am I seeing things? A saltfish is sunbathing?"

"Is it possible that it got this tanned from sun exposure?"

"The question is... can you believe this salted fish actually has hands and feet?"

"Could it be that the salted fish has come to life?"

To be honest, they were quite knowledgeable. Although they hadn't explored the Ten Legendary Dungeons because they had been in the Forsaken Lands, they still knew some information about mermaids.

But they had never seen such salted fish before.

The crowd looked at each other in astonishment, marveling at the salted fish.

"This...is this the mermaid district? How come there are salted fish here?"

While everyone was still confused, suddenly a number of professionals came running over with all sorts of delicacies to fawn over the salted fish, which only made everyone more confused.

"What are they doing?"

"Are you new here?"

Li Bowen was dumbfounded when a passing professional saw them and immediately laughed.

"Are we going to carry out a formation-based armed mission?"

Seeing everyone nod, the professional pointed at the salted fish with a smile.

"Then go find her. She is the Seventh Princess, the NPC who specializes in issuing formation and armed missions."

"puff!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nearly coughed up blood.

"Huh? Who? It???"

"Dude, you're kidding me! A nobody as an NPC? Is that even possible?"

The professional laughed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It seems this is your first time in Dream City, and you don't know anything about this place."

"When the monsters attacked the city, City Lord Lu announced it immediately. And it wasn't just her; another person could also issue quests. After completing them, you could obtain the ability to transform equipment, which was pretty good."

The crowd was confused, but the man spoke with great conviction, and there were many professional fishmongers watching, so it was probably true.

After exchanging bewildered glances, the group could only approach with suspicion.

They didn't notice it when they were far away, but as they got closer and saw it more clearly, everyone became increasingly uncomfortable, their expressions like they had just eaten stuffed intestines.

"Chief Wei... to be honest, the more I look at this thing, the more I feel like punching it."

"Who came up with this design? It looks so damn annoying."

The group, all wearing masks of pain, exchanged glances, and something just didn't seem right.

The main problem is that the seventh princess not only looks like a salted fish, but she's also so wide, with such thin arms and legs, making her look completely out of proportion.

Most importantly, when she was sunbathing on the ground, her big eyes smiled contentedly, forming crescent moons.

Furthermore, every time she drinks juice, she has to strain to place the cup and straw on top of her head so that the big fish mouth can suck it up.

To be honest, I really couldn't hold it in anymore, family members.

Perhaps because she had been stared at for too long, Salty Fish suddenly opened her eyes and glanced around. Upon seeing this, everyone seemed even more inclined to beat her up.

"Are you here to accept a mission?"

Seeing her sitting with her legs crossed and her feet bobbing, everyone twitched their lips and laughed awkwardly.

"Yes, we're all here to receive the mission of troop deployment and arming."

"No problem."

After saying that, she suddenly pulled her legs back and pressed them against her abdomen. Wei Hongyi and the others understood that she was trying to do a cool flip.

However, as she exerted all her strength, those two legs... only moved slightly, the whole fish was only off the ground for a second, and apart from kicking up some sand, it didn't actually get up.

Seeing this, everyone was speechless.

But the salted fish acted as if it hadn't seen anything and continued to cheer itself on.

"It's okay! It's okay! Next wave, next wave, get going!"

"Hey, get up! Get up!"

Everyone: ...

"I refuse to believe it! Get up! Hey! Get up!"

Everyone: ...

"Can't you get up? No! Get up now! Get up!"

Watching the salted fish keep struggling and moving forward a little bit each time, everyone's expressions became incredibly awkward.

However, the salted fish persisted relentlessly, holding out for almost 10 minutes until finally, even Wei Hongyi couldn't take it anymore.

If I hadn't reminded her, she would have drowned.

"Um... Seventh Princess, please stop using your supernatural powers."

Upon hearing this, the salted fish froze on the ground for a few seconds, then, to everyone's astonishment, it flipped over and stood up clumsily and comically.

Everyone: ...

The saltfish patted the sand off its body, its big, dead-fish eyes filled with confusion.

"What's wrong? Why can't I get up?"

Everyone: ...

"Um... is it possible that you only have one... uh, is it possible that you didn't use your strength?"

"is that so?"

Salty Fish blinked her bewildered little eyes, making everyone want to punch her.

However, with the mission at hand, Wei Hongyi could only force a forced smile.

"Seventh Princess, please give us a mission first."

"Yes, Seventh Princess, the mission is the priority."

"Um... could you at least look at us properly? I'm afraid I might be tempted to attack..."

"I'm looking at you properly, aren't I?"

The salted fish turned around suspiciously, facing the crowd with its belly.

"This is what it means to look at you from the side."

Everyone: ...

"The problem is, this way I can't see you."

Everyone: ...

Everyone was speechless, facepalmed, and quickly waved their hands.

"Forget it, let's just issue the task already."

They had never done a mission before and didn't know how to accept one, so they could only let the salted fish keep drawing aggro.

Upon hearing this, the salted fish turned around and said.

"Okay, there are three difficulty levels for the mission: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and top-tier. Which one do you want to choose?"

Aren't there supposed to be four types?

Everyone's eyelids twitched, and they were so angry that their teeth itched.

"We'll choose the top-tier..."

"OK."

This time, Salty Fish didn't waste any words. With a wave of his thin, dry arm, the voice of the world's will resounded in everyone's minds.

【Ding! 】

【congratulations!】

You have received a quest of Hell difficulty: Armed Formation (Part 1)

[Mission Objective: Find the most delicious food in the world for the most beautiful, adorable, great, respected, and invincible Seventh Princess Mermaid!]

[Complete the task and you will receive generous rewards!]

Isn't this supposed to be Hell difficulty?!

Wait, what the hell do you mean, the prettiest and cutest?

Which of these two words, no, which of these words, has absolutely nothing to do with her?

And what else?! Finding delicious food?! Is this supposed to be a mission?!

After hearing the mission briefing, Wei Hongyi and the others were bursting with complaints.

I can't stop vomiting, I just can't stop.

"I have this fucking urge to beat him up right now."

"I second that!"

"+1!"

Everyone was furious and wanted to kick the salted fish right then and there, but it was a mission, so they had no choice but to endure it.

Li Bowen sighed, closed the mission, and stared at the annoying salted fish.

"It seems those people who brought her drinks earlier were on a mission, but what about this food...? Where should I look for it?"

It's said to be the most delicious food in the world, but applying that definition to a salted fish really puts everyone in a bind.

They're even starting to suspect that this childish task is probably something the salted fish is secretly plotting.

Moreover, is this really considered hellish difficulty? Will completing it truly grant the Formation Armor skill?

After a moment of hesitation, a dragon's roar suddenly came from the sky.

The next second, the sky darkened, and before anyone could react, a figure descended from the sky.

To everyone's utter bewilderment, the figure landed squarely on the salted fish's head, sending sand flying everywhere. Before they could even make out the figure, a cacophony of curses and the salted fish's screams echoed from the dust cloud.
