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

"Are you sure... he's the NPC you're looking for?"

Mu Shihhan hesitated for a moment.

It's not her fault.

It's just that... um... the God of Forging looks so different from Su Xiao'er outside.

Outside stood Su Xiaoer, a handsome and elegant young man, dressed in a spotless white robe.

But this god of forging was not only dressed in tattered clothes, but also a short, stocky old man who was less than 1 meters tall...

[Name]: Su Ming (God of Forging)

[Level]: Lv356

[Occupation]: Blacksmith

[Race]: Dwarf

[Reputation]: Neutral

[Faction]: Buried Sword Manor

[Note]: The god of forging from ancient times is most skilled at forging divine artifacts, but he is addicted to alcohol and has a violent temper. Please be cautious when communicating with him.

Upon seeing the panel, Lu Yun couldn't help but twitch his lips in surprise.

"It's him..."

Lu Yun was speechless, but for the sake of the mission, he still went over.

"Su Ming?"

The old man with the bulbous nose looked exactly like Lu Yun's stereotype of dwarves.

However, when he heard someone calling him, he still opened his eyes groggily and looked around blankly.

"Is dinner ready?"

"..."

"Where is my wine?"

"..."

"Huh? An outsider has come in?"

The two were a little awkward, watching Su Ming sit up with his eyes looking cloudy, and were somewhat speechless.

"His name sounds quite dashing, but he's actually a bit of a letdown."

"What do you want with this old man?"

Lu Yun shook his head.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to see you."

"Look at me?"

Su Ming raised an eyebrow, sneered, and reached out his hand.

"Where's the wine? You come to see this old man without bringing any wine, is that any manners?"

"Oh?"

Mu Shihhan looked at Lu Yun strangely.

"From your hometown?"

"From your hometown!"

Lu Yun glared at her, then turned to look at Su Ming.

"Knowing you're here is enough."

As he spoke, he extended his hand expressionlessly.

"Your apprentice is ripping me off, so you, as his master, should pay him back."

Upon hearing this, not only Su Ming but even Mu Shihhan was stunned.

She naturally guessed that Lu Yun's task was to find Su Ming to hand in, and she also guessed that Lu Yun must not have completed the task and simply wanted to find someone to hand it in.

But she never expected that Lu Yun's tactic of discarding someone after they've served their purpose would be so clever.

You should know that all tasks are extremely scarce, and when you find an NPC to turn in a task, you have to be polite and try to please them.

Even she didn't dare to say much to Su Xiaoer, for fear that the NPC would deduct her rewards.

Who would have thought that after confirming Lu Yun's identity, he would immediately try to extort money from him?

Knocking on an NPC's bamboo pole, this is truly the first time ever!

Are you out of your mind?

really.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming was clearly annoyed, and with a forced laugh, he tilted his head and looked at Lu Yun.

"The aura emanating from you is clearly connected to mine; you must be on a mission, right?"

"You're trying to rip me off? Aren't you afraid I'll refuse to take your assignment?"

Not accepted?

To put it bluntly, this task is given by the will of the world; no matter how powerful an NPC is, they can't surpass the will of the world.

Besides, he did this to test a hypothesis.

"Then you can give it a try."

As he spoke, he pulled out the Corpse Staff, startling Mu Shihhan.

"Not Lu Yun? You're going to just start fighting?"

Neutral reputation means non-interference, but if a fight breaks out, they will become opposing factions.

Do you think the enemy will complete the mission for you?

Seeing this, Su Ming stood up with a smile and said.

"You little brat, you want to lay a hand on me?"

Lu Yun touched the iron-blue corpse face on the top of the Yin Corpse Staff with an expressionless face and said calmly.

"It's not physical violence, it's a threat."

Su Ming laughed heartily, glanced at Lu Yun, and laughed in exasperation.

"Judging from your aura, your level isn't high either. Threatening me?"

"Today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget..."

"Transfiguration!"

Before Su Ming could finish speaking, Lu Yun used his skill.

In an instant.

After a muffled thud, Su Ming's body emitted a puff of white smoke.

When the white smoke dissipated, a more than one-meter-tall alpaca was seen standing in the same spot.

Mu Shihhan, who had initially instinctively wanted to stop Lu Yun, was instantly stunned.

"This, this???"

She looked at Lu Yundao with a stunned expression.

"You...you turned him into an alpaca? Wait a minute???"

Mu Shihhan's expression changed, and she looked at Lu Yun with a shocked expression.

"Turn into a sheep? You can actually turn into a sheep?"

Polymorph has no offensive power and is useless in team battles, since it turns you back to your original form with the slightest touch. In a sense, this skill is incredibly useless.

Even so, this skill is still considered one of the mage's trump cards for survival.

Why?

Because of the element of surprise, a mage with this skill can use the time it takes for the opponent to polymorph them to create distance and disengage from combat, or cast some powerful spells with long cast times.

What's even more widely known is that the drop rate of this skill book is even lower than that of attack skill books, and its rarity is automatically one level higher than other skill books of the same level.

A white Transformation spellbook could sell for 1000 million gold coins, which shows how rare this skill is.

Among the people Mu Shihhan knows, there are no more than five who can transform, so how could she not be shocked when she saw Lu Yunhui?

"Huh? Huh~~~~"

Seeing Su Ming standing there with wide eyes and bleating, Lu Yun tilted his head while holding his staff.

"Your apprentice stole a piece of material that I treasured immensely. What do you suggest we do about it?"

"Huh??? Huh???"

The alpaca was furious, but all it could do was writhe in powerless rage.

However, to Lu Yun's surprise, the alpaca pouted and spat out a large amount of saliva in two puffs.

Seeing this, Lu Yun's eyelids twitched, and he pulled Mu Shihan away by a hair's breadth; otherwise, he would have definitely washed his face.

"Hey? You actually spat? Well then, I'll give you another little animal."

"Transfiguration!"

"Bang!"

As the white smoke dissipated, a black and white penguin could be seen standing in the same spot.

This time, not only Mu Shihhan, but even Su Ming himself was deceived.

He had wide, uneven eyes and a bulbous nose, making him look incredibly comical.

"This? This???"

Mu Shihhan was dumbfounded and looked at Lu Yundao with a look of astonishment.

"You changed it to...wait?"

Mu Shihhan's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Instant cast? Your shapeshifting technique is instant cast? And it can even transform into other animals?"

"And why is your CD spinning so fast? Isn't it supposed to be 20 seconds per cycle?"

Isn't Polymorph supposed to be a 3-second hand gesture? How come he transformed with just a wave of his staff?

Furthermore, the cooldown of Polymorph has always been quite long; otherwise, it wouldn't be considered a life-saving skill.

But how come this skill became an instant cast that could be used at will in Lu Yun's hands?

etc???

Thinking about this, Mu Shihhan's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly discovered something else.

"Why does your sheep transformation take so long? Isn't it supposed to last only 30 seconds???"

"Wait a minute? Something's not right??? How can you use your Polymorph spell on an NPC???"

Mu Shihhan's expression changed, and her pupils contracted sharply, because she thought of a possibility, an extremely terrifying possibility.

Lu Yun's skills have mutated, they've definitely mutated!

Only in this way can this matter be clearly explained.

So, here's the question.

Is this the only skill that mutated, or... have all the other skills mutated?

Mu Shihhan's pupils contracted again, and the way she looked at Lu Yun was strange.

"Your profession..."
