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

"I'm leaving."

"Okay, see you at Imperial Capital Academy."

In front of the Corpse King's Palace.

Mu Shihhan waved her hand, watching Lu Yun's departing figure, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

What Lu Yun told her was simply too shocking.

Well known.

NPCs have no personal consciousness. They exist in the same way as NPCs in a game, following the behavioral paths prescribed by the will of the world, like a rigid robot.

For example, if you have a task and communicate with him, he will reply to you mechanically. Although it seems vivid, it is very fake and obviously fake.

However, after Lu Yun said that, she also realized that something was wrong.

Like Su Xiaoer, who originally didn't want to talk to Lu Yun, but after Lu Yun asked him a question, he asked him for some items.

This is not reasonable.

Normally, no matter what Lu Yun asked, Su Xiao'er should have ignored him. But in fact, Lu Yun gave her something and even got what she wanted.

Next was Su Ming, whose behavior was even more bizarre, completely unlike what a rigid NPC would do.

After all, NPCs only laugh or get angry; they don't look at others with resentful eyes, nor do they bully the weak or fear the strong, and they don't compromise their bottom line.

Especially the meaningful look in Su Ming's eyes before the two left. She didn't know if Lu Yun saw it, but she felt that Su Ming's eyes were somewhat... scary.

It's like the uncanny valley effect.

Of course.

None of that matters. What matters is what Lu Yun said: it affects the task settlement rewards.

Lu Yun's actions greatly inspired her, and she now knows how to use her intelligence to maximize her own benefits.

Therefore, she now needs to return to Buried Sword Manor to complete her final mission.

the other side.

Looking back at the vanished Mu Shihhan, Lu Yun couldn't help but shake his head.

"Consider this a reward for guiding me through so many days and helping me find Su Ming and the Haotian Compass."

Actually, he didn't tell the whole story. He only told Mu Shihhan the most basic things. However, he hadn't fully understood the matter yet and needed to verify it from multiple sources to confirm it.

Right now, the most important thing is to complete the tasks: clear the Corpse King's Palace Secret Realm and complete the third job advancement.

"There are less than 5 days left in the world, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

World quests and the Corpse King's Palace dungeon do not require Inferno mode, and there are no affixes that hold you back. As long as the map is not large, it won't take long at all.

He now has a 110% movement speed bonus, making him incredibly fast at traversing the map.

"If we have two dungeons, one after the other, let's start with the Corpse King's Palace. That way, once we finish the Bone Realm, we can go straight back to town to accept the quest."

Having determined the route, Lu Yun entered the gate of the Corpse King's Palace.

The Corpse King's Palace is different from other dungeons.

It consists of two parts: an external public wilderness map and a central main instance.

It has no safe plaza; after entering the gate, there is a place that resembles a cave.

The interior is large, but there are no extra facilities. The monsters are either skeletons or zombie-like creatures.

Of course, there are also Corpse Kings roaming around, and there is indeed a chance to drop treasures such as Guild Tokens, but since the Corpse King Palace came out, only two people have ever encountered it in the wild map, so basically not many people farm these monsters in the outer areas.

Unless they are blocking the way, everyone chooses to go around them.

Lu Yun was no exception; he didn't want to cause too much of a commotion, since he had only been inside for a little over ten minutes when he encountered other professionals.

"It seems the allure of the guild token is still quite strong."

Those who come here to farm the Corpse King are either groups from various factions working here, or they want to get rich by gambling.

However, what they all have in common is that they are all in teams of five, rarely fewer than five, and the total number of people is quite large.

He encountered at least several hundred people along the way.

However, they were all busy with their own things and ignored Lu Yun, the lone wolf.

After circling around several small maps, Lu Yun finally saw the teleportation portal inside a cave hall the size of a football field.

"Wow, there are quite a few people."

Lu Yun looked around and found that there were at least a hundred people here. They were either resting and eating and drinking in place, or they were besieging some smaller zombie kings.

They looked very enthusiastic, but their faces were actually numb, clearly they had been sitting there for a long time.

However, the resting professionals looked at Lu Yun as he walked straight into the teleportation portal with visibly strange expressions.

"Here comes another one who's not afraid of death."

"He dared to come and raid the Corpse King's Palace all by himself, he must have believed the rumors outside."

"The last guy who soloed this is long gone, his grave is overgrown with weeds. This kid is obviously a hothead."

"Hey, how long do you think he can keep this up?"

"Heh, if he can hold out for ten minutes, I'd consider him amazing."

"Ten more minutes? I'm afraid we'll be dead inside in less than three minutes."

"That's true. Trying to solo the Corpse King's Palace without sixth-level strength? That's just asking for death."

"Who's going to come here and kill this sixth-tier veteran? Just watch, in a minute, at most a minute, we'll see him die."

"Huh? He wouldn't have died if he hadn't had a straw man, right? Haha."

"Oh, right? But it's boring anyway, let's just treat it as watching a show."

A group of indifferent professionals chuckled, completely disregarding Lu Yun. While eating and drinking, they all watched the teleportation portal with mocking eyes, wondering if he could still come out.

At this time.

As Lu Yun entered the instance, the voice of the world's will resounded in his mind once again.

You have discovered the Corpse King's Palace - Legendary Secret Realm - Hell Mode

That's right, the legendary secret realm also allows you to choose the difficulty level, and since Lu Yun is leveling up, he naturally chooses a higher level one.

Hell mode has no affixes and offers more monster experience, making it the most suitable.

Looking around at the cave, which was about the size of a basketball court, Lu Yun realized that this was the first time he had ever seen a dungeon without monsters at the entrance.

But it doesn't matter, he's here to grind monsters, not to admire the scenery.

Lu Yun glanced at the doorway on the opposite wall, took out his staff, and quickly ran over.

Upon entering the second cave, the space noticeably doubled in size, and monsters appeared.

"This is what you call a normal monster. One or two million HP, nothing special, perfect for wandering around."

If outsiders heard this, they would be so angry they'd vomit blood.

However, for Lu Yun, this was indeed quite ordinary, after all, the ones he had previously farmed were either tens of millions or hundreds of millions of HP, along with various skills and affixes.

It's rare to encounter a regular notebook these days, so I'm naturally very relaxed.

"Since we're aiming for a speedrun... let's use this skill..."
