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

"roar!!!"

In the forest, a group of level 10 tigers, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, surrounded them from all directions.

Seeing this, Wu Xiangchen, who was in the lead, was not flustered at all. Instead, he waited calmly for the monsters to surround him.

Seeing this, Cao Yan, one of the four lackeys, rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Young Master Chen, we can handle these problems. You should conserve your energy and get some rest."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiangchen nodded with a smug look on his face.

"Indeed, it's only level 10. The four of you are at least level 18 or 19. Dealing with these monsters will be a piece of cake for you."

At this point, Wu Xiangchen felt a surge of disdain.

If the experience gained in this dungeon weren't variable, and even in a team the experience was based on individual level, Wu Xiangchen wouldn't have dragged the four of them down.

However, having someone handle these minor monsters saved him a lot of trouble and consumables. Considering how good they were at flattering him, he decided to take them a little longer.

When they're no longer useful, which is when he'll be aiming for the top of the leaderboard, he'll naturally let these four lackeys make a final contribution and then get out of there.

Watching the four men take out their weapons and begin fighting the tiger pack, Wu Xiangchen crossed his arms, rubbed his chin, and muttered to himself.

"There are four gold-tier professions this year, so getting into the top four is impossible."

"But the fact that I ranked tenth on the dark horse list means that in terms of overall strength, I am definitely stronger than most of the silver-level professionals."

"In that case, starting from 10th place, it's not impossible to climb up. After all, that bitch Xu Qingmeng has four burdens with her, so surpassing her would be too easy."

"Now the only thing to consider is the top 8. Lei Long is a warrior, and although his damage is high, he's just a crude brute who will fall as soon as he charges in, so he's not worth mentioning. Mu Caiwei is worth thinking about, but she's a divination master who excels at support and deduction. Her damage output almost entirely relies on her teammates. It wouldn't be difficult to surpass her..."

"The only ones that are a bit difficult are Hou Zhendong, the shadow assassin, and Wen Liangyu, the ghost array swordsman."

"Both of them are special classes that have evolved from other classes, and their damage output is extremely high. They can't be judged by normal standards. Although my Retribution Paladin is also a special class, in terms of damage output, I absolutely cannot compare to theirs."

"Especially Wen Liangyu, the Ghost Array Sword Master is unpredictable and mysterious. He is clearly a swordsman but wears cloth armor, a typical magic swordsman. Moreover, judging from the introduction on the big screen, his defense is exceptional, on par with Mu Caiwei. He should not be underestimated..."

Wu Xiangchen quickly analyzed the situation and was convinced of its validity.

"In other words, my only real competitors are Hou Zhendong and Wen Liangyu. The others... are nothing to worry about."

"If I get enough boundary flags, it's not impossible for me to break into the top five."

"As for Lu Yun? Heh... That idiot thinks he can soar to the top just by relying on Qingmeng? Even if he can win the team battle, what about the individual battle?"

"That means going into the ring, a real fight, and there's no free resurrection in individual battles. If you die... you're really dead..."

As if he had thought of something, Wu Xiangchen slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a sinister smile.

"Now that you mention it... I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing you in the individual combat arena... You... I really hope you can actually do it..."

"Of course, the premise is that you'd better not let my people find you in this team instance..."

……

In a canyon.

Wearing a suit and always with a smile on his face, Wen Liangyu watched his four teammates fight monsters.

"The monsters on this first map are all low-level, so don't waste too much time here."

"The first thing we need to do is find the boundary flags and their locations."

At this moment, the girl, who had been expressionless, turned around and glanced at him.

"You want to be in the top three?"

Wen Liangyu shook his head.

"No, it's number one."

The girl's expression shifted slightly, and after muttering "crazy," she ignored him completely.

"Although the Mythic class is very strong, we are not without a chance. As long as we find 33 boundary flags, enter the original scene map of this illusionary dungeon, and find the 10 final bosses hidden there, we can get a huge amount of points."

Upon hearing this, the girl continued attacking the black bear in front of her while speaking.

"Hidden bosses are all legendary monsters starting at level 60, and they are impossible to defeat without second job advancement."

"Moreover, over the years, the number of people who have been able to find the hidden BOSS is less than a handful, and the number who have successfully defeated it is only once, and that was only by killing one BOSS."

"Besides, you said it yourself that it's a hidden boss, how could it be so easy to find?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Liangyu's smile widened.

"So...we need to pinpoint their location and find one of them first."

The girl was startled and subconsciously turned to look at him.

"You mean... Mu Caiwei?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Liangyu smiled and put his hands in his pockets.

"A cook who doesn't aspire to be a general isn't a good driver, firstly... but it's about getting that insignia~"

The girl's eyelids twitched, and after gritting her teeth, she muttered something that looked rather unpleasant.

"What a madman..."

……

"Shockwave!"

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

Clad in armor, wielding a shield and a giant hammer, Wu Shan, who looked like an ox, stomped his right foot on the ground. In an instant, a transparent wave shot out in a fan shape, and the ground within a 2-meter radius in front of him boiled like water, instantly stunning all the lizardmen.

Seeing this from another direction, Xu Yinghao immediately raised his staff and unleashed a meteor shower. As the fire rain fell, the lizardmen only lasted 15 seconds before collapsing to the ground with a scream before the stun wore off.

"Brother Yinghao, you're amazing!"

At this moment, the cute little girl standing next to Ye Wuhen, holding his arm, lit up and immediately gave him a thumbs up.

This made Xu Yinghao scratch his head in embarrassment.

"It's nothing... If Brother Ye hadn't given me this top-tier blue skill, Meteor Shower, I wouldn't have been able to kill these monsters so quickly."

"That's great! You'll definitely surpass that awful woman, Si Nan, very soon!"

Xu Yinghao blushed slightly, clearly flattered.

"Miss Si is exceptionally talented, and she works in the silver industry. I'll have to work even harder to surpass her."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Ye Wuhen interrupted the conversation with a blank expression.

"Xiao You, is there any news about Mu Caiwei?"

Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyou, who was holding his arm, winked playfully.

"I've already sent out all the summoned creatures, and we'll have results soon. Oh, by the way, Brother Ye, we've found one of the boundary flags, and we'll be able to bring it back soon."

"But Brother Ye, Mu Qingcheng will definitely look for her too. They're both from the Mu family. Are you sure she can help us?"

Ye Wuhen looked at her calmly and said.

"That's why we need to find her quickly, and... she knows what to do."

"Oh……"

Wen Xiaoyou didn't understand, but she did whatever Brother Ye asked her to do.

"By the way, we don't need to worry about that madman Li Jian. Besides Mu Qingcheng, we also need to find Qin Wushuang and that Wen Liangyu."

"That kid's got some skills; he'll definitely be looking for Mu Caiwei too."

Wen Xiaoyou nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Brother Ye, speaking of that Xu Qingmeng, she's clearly just a silver ice mage, how did she reach level 39? Apart from you four, she's the highest level."

"I hope she won't affect our plans in any way?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuhen gently shook his head.

"That person definitely has a problem. Even if someone keeps helping her, it's impossible for her to reach level 39 in a month unless she can have access to high-level dungeons or training rooms like we do, but that's impossible too."

"I've never heard of her. She must be from some small place and wouldn't have such resources."

Wen Xiaoyou tilted her head curiously and thought for a moment.

"Could it be that her teammates belong to some powerful organization?"

"No."

Ye Wuhen denied it very readily.

"I saw her teammates, and none of them were familiar faces. They definitely don't belong to any powerful faction."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Wuhen, for the sake of safety, looked at Wen Xiaoyou and said.

"Have someone investigate her and the people around her, the more detailed the better."

Wen Xiaoyou nodded, agreeing that it would be better to investigate.

After all, Xu Qingmeng's level was too abnormal.
