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

Lu Yun remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was starting to have doubts.

He wasn't afraid of someone investigating, after all, this matter had become a bit... well... excessive.

It's normal for someone from above to come and investigate.

But he was afraid that if the investigation led to him, it would cause him a lot of trouble.

He hates trouble the most, and he also fears that important figures will notice him too early, which is not a good thing for him at the moment.

"The monitoring room can't see everything. Access is one thing, but the protection of the world's will is another."

"Even if a big shot comes to investigate, they might not find anything."

"Anyway, I'm just an ordinary mage, so they shouldn't be paying attention to me. As long as I have some more time to grow, even if they do find out about me, I won't be afraid."

Lu Yun thought about it and felt that the situation wasn't that serious.

Besides, investigating a matter takes more than a day or two.

He's leveling up incredibly fast right now, so there's no need to worry unnecessarily. Plus, he can now control the output intensity of his skills, so he'll definitely find a way to fish in troubled waters.

Thinking of this, Lu Yun looked at her blankly and said.

"Is this important figure here to investigate the World Boss?"

"Yes."

Recalling what had happened before, Manager Liu's expression turned serious.

"There was a huge commotion at the time. According to the professionals who escaped, a big shot made a move and took away more than 1 million HP from the BOSS in one go."

"My God, I've seen so many powerful people, but none of them have been able to inflict such damage. That person must be a top-tier expert at the Radiance level or above."

There was some lingering fear, but ultimately, admiration made up the majority of my feelings.

After all, she greatly admired strong people, so naturally, as she spoke, her eyes began to sparkle.

"That powerful figure stunned everyone with his mere appearance, causing them all to flee in terror. My God..."

"that……"

Although he was praising himself, that wasn't why he came here.

Lu Yun interrupted her awkwardly.

"I just want to say... what do all this have to do with my need for Infernal Materials...?"

Shopkeeper Liu blushed slightly and smiled rather awkwardly.

"Ah...sorry...hehe..."

Manager Liu cleared his throat.

"Because of the two nuclear explosions, the monitoring stones in the two cities cracked. Several items among the materials used to activate the Purgatory Mode can repair the monitoring stones, so the materials from the nearby cities have all been bought up."

"If you want to buy it, it's definitely sold out today."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun was momentarily speechless with embarrassment.

I was just killing some monsters, how did I end up digging a hole for myself...?

"Um... why don't you tell me about the important person?"

Manager Liu was somewhat suspicious, but still explained.

"Don't worry, I don't have the materials right now, but I can find a way to get them, it just will take some time."

Lu Yun nodded.

"That's all we can do."

If you want to buy level 60 Purgatory materials, forget about it in second- or third-tier cities; they simply won't have them.

And for individuals to collect them, it's entirely a matter of luck, and there's also the possibility of revealing their target.

Therefore, having Manager Liu help collect it is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Then I'll have to trouble Manager Liu. Money is not a problem, but it needs to be done as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be a regular customer from now on, and I'll be collecting materials from you for a long time."

Sure enough!

Manager Liu was overjoyed, thinking to himself that he had made the right bet.

"I'm glad you said that, young man. Don't worry, I'll definitely do a perfect job for you."

"Alright, then tell me about that important person."

Seeing that he was interested, Manager Liu didn't think much of it. After instructing his subordinates to collect the materials, he told Lu Yun about it.

"It's not really a secret."

"The world boss was just killed by a big shot, which caused a great commotion. Just then, a big shot from above passed by this place and was seen by Lord Yang, who was on his way back. That's why he was stopped and the matter was reported."

"Right now, those people should be investigating this matter in front of the world boss's corpse."

Lu Yun's mind raced, and he thought to himself that he was lucky to have run fast, otherwise things would have been very troublesome.

"Oh, that's just a coincidence."

"you do not say……"

Seeing that Lu Yun's expression was normal, Manager Liu narrowed his eyes, becoming even more certain of his guess.

"Once that important figure finishes investigating things here, he'll be heading to Mingguang City and Tai'an City. I wonder... which big shot was behind this..."

Seeing that Manager Liu was staring at him seemingly casually, Lu Yun slowly curled the corners of his mouth and stood up.

"Alright, in that case, I'll go back and wait for your good news."

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu smiled broadly and took Lu Yun's arm.

"Don't worry, buddy, I'll get back to you soon."

She escorted him all the way to the door, watching Lu Yun's figure disappear. The smile on Manager Liu's face not only did not diminish, but became even more pronounced.

"So young, clearly a freshman this year, yet he brought such a large batch of equipment to sell, and even requested to sell it in batches and installments..."

"Heh... Interesting young man..."

As she spoke, she looked at the detection stone in her hand. The table, which should have displayed all the information, even had question marks in the name column...

……

Outside the mountain city.

A large group of top players from various classes surrounded the corpse of the world boss.

However, at this moment, their faces were blank and their eyes were wide with shock, clearly frightened.

"This... Lord Qi... what do you think?"

Yang Ming was the first to come to his senses. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at the charred corpse of the Corpse King and the 30-centimeter-deep pit that had been compacted into the surrounding ground, and his scalp tingled.

I was far away at the time and only saw the lightning bolt falling from the sky. I never imagined that the lightning bolt could have such power.

Looking at it up close now, it's probably even stronger than a Radiant-level expert.

After regaining his senses, Lord Qi, dressed in a law robe, stood with his hands behind his back and said with an extremely solemn expression.

"Even after all this time, the smell of burning is still strong, which means that the fire and lightning skills must be at least epic level."

"Epic level???"

Upon hearing this answer, the others were immediately taken aback.

Epic skills are extremely rare; they are not skills that can be obtained simply by luck.

At least, as far as those present knew, all of Dragon Kingdom's current epic-level skills were obtained by opening those golden mythical-level chests.

Moreover, every being with epic-level skills is a giant they can only look up to.

But this one has two epic-level skills?

"That's not all."

Lord Qi shook his head, his expression growing increasingly stiff.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are traces of wind-type skills here."

As he spoke, he pointed to the numerous cuts of varying sizes covering the Corpse King's body.

"These openings were clearly created by wind, so this powerful being must possess three epic-level skills."

"What??? Three???"

Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, Lord Qi spoke with a startling and unconventional tone.

"The Corpse King is a world boss. Considering the intensity of the attack by more than 5 people, its health must have exceeded 20 billion. Yet, after besieging it for more than half an hour, they only managed to reduce its health by 40%. And how long has it been since the city-wide announcement? Fifteen minutes? Not even fifteen minutes, right?"

"All things considered, it should only take a maximum of ten minutes. You should all understand what that means."

He was ordered to investigate the incident. He originally came to the mountain city as a transit point, but unexpectedly, he encountered Yang Ming when he passed by the Hall of Professionals.

That's when I understood why those professionals kept discussing world bosses.

He originally didn't want to waste time, after all, he wasn't a free man.

But Yang Ming's effusive and terrifying words convinced them that they had come to see for themselves.

But it's good that he came, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to witness such a terrifying scene.

"The reports from Mingguang City and Tai'an City both describe it as a fire-type skill comparable to a nuclear explosion."

"But the aura and pressure emanating from the fire-type skills here have clearly surpassed the mythical level, and they seem even more terrifying than described in the report."

"But... while this fire-based skill does have the explosive attribute, it's not as massive as described in the document, so it's clearly not the same skill..."

"Moreover, this expert clearly also possesses two other skills of the same level, namely lightning and wind, which clearly indicates that he is not the same person as the previous one."

"Could it be... that something really big is about to happen, causing these elusive and powerful figures to reappear?"

Yes, he lied. He didn't tell Yang Ming and the others the truth because it would definitely cause panic.

He came here to investigate and appease, how could he dig his own grave and ruin things?

Moreover, the big shot in the mountain city was clearly stronger than the one in Mingguang City. Fortunately, the two seemed to be only focused on fighting the BOSS and did nothing else.

However, the sudden appearance of such a powerful figure, especially during this sensitive period of high incidence of new student job changes, left him no choice but to think carefully...

The most crucial issue is that, after weighing the range and effects of the skill, he realized... he simply couldn't defeat this master.

This made him even more anxious.

Whether the matter can be thoroughly investigated is another matter; the most important thing is what to do if a conflict arises with the other party…

Lord Qi's expression changed repeatedly, sensing that things were getting serious.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Could it be that they... only came out of retirement because of that incident?"

The more Lord Qi thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and his face began to turn pale.

"Oh no...something terrible is about to happen..."

Lord Qi's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly pulled out his staff.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Lord Yang, you just need to submit a detailed report."

"Remember, don't discuss this matter anymore, and definitely don't investigate it. This is beyond your control! Don't get yourself into trouble!"

After saying that, he waved his staff and disappeared from the spot.
