"Level 60! Finally, I've reached Tier 6!" A smile appeared on Zhou An's face.

He's already at the sixth rank.

At this moment, he felt the power of the twelve talismans increase once again.

I can't say for sure, but whether it's the Ox Talisman or the Dragon Talisman, the destructive power of these offensive talismans has reached the eighth level.

Once Zhou An breaks through to the seventh rank, he will possess the strength of the ninth rank.

Therefore, he needs to advance to the seventh rank as soon as possible.

According to the information he obtained from the Bureau of Mysteries

Upgrading to tier 7 and tier 8 is very simple; you can upgrade directly by completing the dungeon, without any bottlenecks.

However, after reaching level 89, he could not reach level 90 no matter what he did, and thus could not advance to the ninth rank.

Just like in China now, the highest level is 89, and we've been stuck at that level for over a year.

This is true not only in China, but all over the world; specific conditions are required to reach level 90.

As for what the conditions are, no one knows, not even those stuck at level 89.

"Uncle, you've leveled up again! That was fast!"

"In the entire Hunan province, you are the third person to reach level 60." Li Shengsheng felt the changes in her body and understood that Zhou An had come back to life with an S-level rating.

"Level 60 is not bad, but it's still too weak."

"Have I spent enough time playing with you these past few days? I'm getting ready to go into a dungeon," Zhou An said with a faint smile.

“Go ahead, go ahead, I’ve had enough fun.” Li Shengsheng nodded repeatedly.

"But before we leave, let's check what's going on at the dry well," Zhou An said, before disappearing from the spot in a flash.

When he reappeared, he was in the dry well.

The fog inside the dry well has stopped spreading.

What's most intriguing is that above the dry well, there's a countdown timer for the formation of mist.

"Thirty days? Will the Dry Well instance reopen in thirty days?" Zhou An pondered, stroking his chin as he looked at the thirty-day countdown.

"Uncle, thirty days is not too bad. I'm sure a lot of people will have cleared the game this time."

"Once we have the information about the instance, we'll definitely be safer in the future," Li Shengsheng said with a smile.

“Hmm.” Zhou An nodded, then took out the Third Forbidden Zone Pass.

After Zhou An tore it open, a crimson light instantly surged out, enveloping him before disappearing completely.

……

Zhou An gradually regained consciousness, and when he came to, he found himself in a very modern room.

“This is…” Zhou An looked around.

The walls of the room were covered with posters, some of which featured anime characters and celebrities.

Then a flood of information emerged.

After a long while, he processed the memory.

I understood immediately.

Then a notification sound appeared in my mind.

[Enter the instance: Intruder]

[Instance Type: Single Player]

[Mission unlocked: A great crisis looms in this world. Unravel the truth and survive for at least thirty days.]

Survive for thirty days?

Is this all there is to the Third Forbidden Land?

The memories in his mind were just ordinary memories.

I'm a senior in high school, and today is his eighteenth birthday.

In my past memories, this world was completely free of any danger.

There was no apocalypse, no monsters, and no supernatural forces.

All he had were the memories of an ordinary boy living for eighteen years.

At this moment, Zhou An sensed that all his strength had been sealed.

It doesn't matter, since my twelve talismans weren't sealed off anyway.

Moreover, Zhou An also felt that sealing off strength was the best approach.

This makes it more difficult, results in a higher score, and offers more rewards.

[Host detected entering the instance. Draw a talisman?]

"Extract."

[Talisman drawing in progress... Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Pig Talisman]

"Huh? The pig talisman has arrived, not bad, not bad." Zhou An nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, he now possessed all the attack talismans among the twelve talismans.

"Knock knock knock!" Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Xiao An, dinner's ready. Come out quickly, it's your birthday today." A gentle female voice came from outside the door.

Zhou An recognized the voice; it was his mother's voice.

Whether it was the mother in my memory or the mother in the main world, the voices completely overlapped.

"Mom's here," Zhou An replied, then immediately pushed open the door and went out.

When Zhou An saw his mother, who looked exactly like his own mother, he frowned.

Looking at my father at the dinner table in the distance, he looked exactly the same.

"Hurry up, Xiao An, the candles are lit, make a wish." Zhou's father stood up, a smile on his face.

"Okay." Zhou An immediately went to the dining table.

There was a large table of dishes on the table, and a cake with candles on it.

"Hurry up, make a wish and blow it out. We've been looking forward to this day for so long." Zhou's mother had a very happy smile on her face.

"Yes, yes, hurry up, what are you standing there for?" Zhou's father urged.

"Okay." For some reason, Zhou An felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou An immediately made a birthday wish for his whole family to be safe and sound, and then blew out the candles.

"Happy birthday, Xiao An. We've finally waited for this day." A strange and greedy smile appeared on Zhou's mother's lips.

The next instant, a sharp spike pierced Zhou An's chest.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Zhou An turned his head and looked at his mother beside him.

"Huh? How is this possible?" Zhou's mother was full of surprise, her eyes darting around wildly in their sockets.

A muffled thud!

Another spike pierced Zhou An's temple.

This time, it was his father who took action.

"What are you two doing...?" Zhou An looked at the fake parents with a blank expression.

If nothing unexpected happens, these two should be monsters.

After all, their hands had turned into sharp spikes, making them look completely different from human beings.

"Impossible! How could you withstand our attack?"

"We've raised you for eighteen years, eighteen years! Today, you're destined to be eaten by us!" Zhou's mother screamed, her skin instantly splitting open.

A giant crustacean monster, over two meters tall, appeared before Zhou An.
