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

Mingguang City.

On the plaza in front of the teleportation tower.

Lu Yun was leaning against the stone sculpture with his arms crossed, listening to the passionate discussion around him.

"Holy crap? Did you guys hear? The Barrens dungeon is closed!"

"Yes! The announcement the City Lord's Mansion released yesterday afternoon was too eerie!"

"Is this really strange? Have you forgotten about yesterday's earthquake?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Yesterday was really weird, that earthquake almost killed me."

"That's nothing! Yesterday, my brother told me he was leveling up in the Barrens when a nuclear bomb fell, and the entire Barrens vaporized!"

"What the hell? A nuclear bomb? Those things have been obsolete for ages!"

"Nonsense, he saw it with his own eyes, how could it be false?"

"Yes! I heard about it too. They say there was a mushroom cloud. What else could it be but a nuclear bomb?"

Lu Yun listened for a while and couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, everyone has different things to focus on, but that's none of his business.

"Brother Yun?!"

As he was laughing, Li Zian, panting heavily, waved while putting his hands on his hips. His steps were so heavy that it seemed he was about to see his great-grandmother any second now.

When Lu Yun got closer and took a look, he was stunned.

"Wait, my dear son, you didn't bring an umbrella all night?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zian stared at his dark circles and haggard face, then raised his head with a look of sorrow.

"Whether you brought it or not, don't you know what's going on?"

Lu Yun gave a strange smile.

"You've leveled up to level 10, kid?"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zian immediately perked up.

"As expected! I finally reached level 10 at 7:30, and here I come right away!"

"Yes, yes, it has to be my filial son. Come on, call me 'Dad'."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Zian laughed and scolded, then put his arm around Lu Yun's neck.

"Hey Yun, I have some earth-shattering news to tell you! I heard some truly shocking news yesterday!"

Lu Yun smiled strangely.

"Huh... what big news?"

"Yesterday! Just yesterday! A god-level player was farming in the Barrens, and he was completely stunned by the dungeon's attacks!"

"Back then, the city lord's mansion imposed martial law on the barren land—holy crap!"

Once he started talking nonsense, Li Zian instantly regained his full strength.

"You don't know? My cousin told me he was leveling up in the Barrens yesterday, and he saw a pro player wielding a god-tier staff, instantly unleashing an epic ultimate skill that wiped out the Barrens with a nuclear explosion! Holy crap!"

"That guy is awesome! His skills are simple and brutal—a mushroom cloud! Absolutely incredible!"

Li Zian hugged Lu Yun and leaned against him, his face full of emotion and longing.

"I heard that the big shot came here to help his family's kids level up. I wish I could meet that big shot."

"If I could get to know him, and even have that big shot help me level up, wow, that would be even better, hahaha!"

"It's a pity though... those who possess epic-level skills are all reclusive old monsters. Let alone my small Li family, even the Wu family, the number one family in Mingguang City, can't afford to hire them."

Seeing Li Zian shaking his head and repeatedly expressing his regret, Lu Yun felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Brother Yun, you have no idea, the monitoring center went crazy yesterday. They said the monitoring stones had all cracked. Haha, even Director Zhang was scolded to tears by the city lord during the remote meeting."

Lu Yun was taken aback, not expecting that his fireball spell would be destroyed by the monitoring stone.

Isn't that thing supposed to be unbreakable even by fourth-tier gold-level professionals?

"They also said that a lot of equipment was destroyed, and the city guard was in complete chaos. Even now, they don't know which big shot was behind it."

"Hey Yun-ge, tell me, if I kneel down and kowtow to that big shot twice, will he help me level up?"

Lu Yun raised an eyebrow and teased.

"I don't think it's a big problem. If you try a few more times, it might actually help you level up."

Li Zian waved his hand and smiled wryly at the person who looked like he was hungover.

"Forget it, I don't care about taking a couple of hits, but even if you carry me, I can't afford it. The level difference is too big, and I won't get any experience."

"Hey, Yun-ge, where's your wife?"

Lu Yun was taken aback and glanced at the time.

"They should be on their way in a few minutes, but don't talk nonsense, we're just classmates."

Oh well.

Li Zian was speechless.

"You're the only idiot."

"Lu Yun".

As soon as Li Zian finished speaking, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out behind him.

The two subconsciously turned around and saw Xu Qingmeng dressed in a smart and appropriate casual outfit.

It has to be said that as the school beauty and the number one beauty in Mingguang City, Xu Qingmeng is truly number one in terms of both face and figure.

Bathed in the morning sunlight behind her, she looked like a fairy descended from heaven, leaving Lu Yun speechless with amazement.

"Sister-in-law... um... classmate Xu..."

Li Zian's somewhat embarrassed voice brought Lu Yun back to his senses, and he nodded.

"You've arrived."

Xu Qingmeng's face flushed slightly, and she seemed a little afraid to meet Lu Yun's gaze.

"About what you said yesterday..."

"oh."

Lu Yun smiled.

"Let's take the teleportation array to the Corpse Castle under the jurisdiction of Tai'an City first."

Xu Qingmeng was taken aback, and a hint of doubt appeared on Gu Bo's usually calm and pretty face.

"The Corpse Castle? That's a level 30 dungeon, what are you going there for?"

Lu Yun thought for a moment.

"The Shadow Castle is connected to the Shadow Manor. The map is large, and the monsters are densely packed and numerous, which is perfect for me."

Xu Qingmeng frowned slightly.

"Putting aside the issue of levels, there... seems a bit..."

"Is it scary?"

Lu Yun picked up the conversation, a smile playing on his lips.

"It is indeed terrifying, but that's precisely why fewer people go there, and no one is competing with us for monsters."

The Shadow Castle was the place he had chosen last night.

The monsters there are all rotting corpses, looking just like zombies in movies, but faster and more terrifying.

Moreover, there are many monsters with magical abilities there, making it easier to obtain magical equipment and skill books.

Although his skills are unparalleled, he still needs equipment.

After all, no one would refuse a full set of top-tier gear, right?

Of course, that dungeon wasn't very friendly to girls.

And in fact, it is indeed the case.

Since the three of them arrived at the safe square leading to the Shadow Castle, they hadn't encountered a single girl.

Looking at the eerie buildings around her and the blood moon in the sky, Xu Qingmeng frowned slightly and glanced at the other professionals who were casting strange glances at her.

"Now you can tell me about your mission, right?"

She's not a fool like Li Zian. Lu Yun, a newly awakened ordinary mage, insisting on coming to this level 30 dungeon, is definitely not doing it out of stupidity.

She was just puzzled as to what kind of quest would require someone who had just awakened to come to this level 30 dungeon.

This is too bizarre.

"A mission? It is indeed a mission."

Lu Yun was not surprised that she had guessed this.

He then sent out a team invitation as he spoke.

"It's just a first-tier quest."

"First job advancement quest? Wait a minute???"

Xu Qingmeng's expression changed, and she took a step forward in disbelief.

"You mean? A first job advancement? A quest???"

"Hey, isn't that Brother Yun???"

Before Lu Yun could even speak, Li Zian was instantly wide awake.

He grabbed Lu Yun's neck in astonishment and stared wide-eyed.

"Are you kidding me? A first job advancement quest? You're level 30???"

Seemingly remembering something, Li Zian quickly confirmed the team invitation.

The next second, when he saw Lu Yun's level in the team information, he almost popped his eyes out.

"Holy crap?! ...

Startled by the shout in his ear, Lu Yun quickly covered Li Zian's mouth and smiled wryly.

"Keep your voice down! You're going deaf!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Okay, okay!"

It's only because there were so few people around and they were so far away that his shout would have turned Lu Yun into a gorilla in a zoo.

Li Zian stared at Lu Yun in shock, as if he didn't recognize him.

"Not Brother Yun? Are you crazy? You just awakened yesterday and you're already level 30???"

"You think you can get promoted that fast? Are you out of your mind???"

Seeing Lu Yun's bewildered expression, Xu Qingmeng, who had just joined the group, was also quite surprised.

She never expected that someone could level up 30 levels in a single day; even if she had someone help her level up, it would be impossible.

But it was precisely because of this that she suddenly understood why Lu Yun wanted to recruit them into the team.

"You're doing a job change quest, right?"

Lu Yun was taken aback, not expecting Xu Qingmeng to be so smart, but that was normal, as she was always an outstanding student.

"Yes, my task isn't difficult, but there's a limit to the number of people; you have to form a team of at least three."

Xu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment, her big eyes full of suspicion.

The first job advancement quest is generally considered the easiest. Even with the rarity of her profession, it's at most rare, and at worst legendary. She can easily handle it all by herself.

After all, you're only level 30. Do you really expect to complete a mythical-level job change quest?

Those top-level missions are only available to gold-level mythical professionals after they have completed their fifth or sixth reincarnation.

The problem is that Lu Yun is only a gray-level ordinary mage, and the highest first job change quest he can take is a white-level beginner quest. How could there be a limit to the number of people who can take such a job change quest?

For job change quests with limited participants, shouldn't you at least be at the Legendary level? And those quests have a participant limit of 1-5 people, which means you can do them with as few as one person, right?

Why would his task require a minimum of three people?

Besides, he also said that the task is not difficult. Is the limit on the number of participants due to the special mechanism of the dungeon?

"So... what is your mission?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun opened the task list and spoke nonchalantly.

"Oh, it's about clearing the level 30 Inferno Mode dungeon."

"puff!!!"

"Taking away the young master???"

"You mean Duo Shao???"
