With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

"Grandpa...did you hear anything?"

As he walked, the timid Lu Ziming vaguely heard a rustling sound and asked in a panic.

"Don't be suspicious, just stay close."

Chen Beixuan unleashed a lightning spell to kill the ghost, then turned and gave instructions.

The super dad shook his head, indicating that he hadn't heard it.

"It really happened! I really heard it!"

Lu Ziming, skeptical, turned his head and warily surveyed his surroundings.

Sure enough, when he turned around to look behind him, he saw a dozen or so figures vaguely appearing in the thick fog!

However, due to the thick fog, visibility was not very good.

"Sir! Something is following us!"

Lu Ziming quickly patted Chen Beixuan on the shoulder to remind him, and the two of them turned around to check.

"Hmm? There really is something."

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

The figure swayed in the thick fog, becoming clearer as it drew closer.

"Holy crap, what the hell is that?!"

Lu Ziming's face turned pale, and he hurriedly slipped behind the two of them.

After Chen Beixuan and the other man saw it clearly, their facial features contorted, and they felt extremely disgusted and uncomfortable.

Those figures were actually living dead, their bodies tattered, some even wrapped in strips of cloth and bandages.

Although the area was shrouded in thick fog, the air was strangely dry.

They were shriveled up, with sunken eye sockets, and looked terrifying.

What disgusted them was that maggots were crawling out of the eye sockets, falling to the ground with each step.

"I really admire how this game was able to be released in China without being reported..." Super Dad suddenly thought with a frown.

Chen Beixuan shared this sentiment.

He sent out reconnaissance to gather information about the monster.

------

Barren Mummy: Level 18

Blood volume: 4900

Attack: 280

Defense: 70

Magic resistance: 40

Skills: Bite, Claw Strike, Physical Enhancement, Fearless.

Description: Made from the bodies of wanderers, will this be their final resting place?

------

If it were a normal squad, they would still be struggling against the ghosts at this point, eventually being surrounded by mummies and wiped out.

Without healing or physical immunity, relying entirely on mages for damage output, the situation is predictable.

If intelligence cannot be transmitted out, people outside will not know the situation here and will be unable to take effective countermeasures.

This ultimately creates a vicious cycle, like a pre-set trap that continuously crushes any team that enters it.

This task may seem more difficult than his, but it is not.

Just considering the fact that he can kill a bronze-level boss solo, it is comparable to others.

After all, the mission requires investigation; players can revive if they die, and then submit the information to the mayor.

Scoring is based on the quantity and importance of the intelligence.

Chen Beixuan guessed that the physical immunity of the ghosts was one of the intelligence points, and so was the mummy here.

Players can try and fail repeatedly until they gather enough information to achieve an A-level rating.

The way out is probably at the final boss.

Having figured out the ins and outs of the situation, Chen Beixuan immediately felt relieved.

Both of them were stuck on the job change quest, so he got all the experience points by himself.

It can help you level up and also help Lu Ziming complete tasks, which is the best of both worlds.

"Thunder and lightning!"

Boom boom boom——

True damage -5731, -2865, -5731...

The Dark Corruption has stacked to 20 layers, reducing attack power by 20%, yet it still instantly kills monsters.

The three mummies in front of him were instantly chopped into charcoal, and their energy flowed into his body.

[Ding! You have defeated the [Desolate Mummy lv18], gaining 380 (+300%) experience points and 16 copper coins!]

[Ding! You have defeated a [Desolate Mummy lv18], a level above your own...]

......

Watching Chen Beixuan unilaterally crush the mummy group, Lu Ziming and his companion had already become accustomed to it.

They realized the crux of the mission and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Without Grandpa Chen's help, they would definitely have died in the first attack.

The same goes for this place; what should have been a tough battle was instead turned into a speedrun by the old man.

They killed them so quickly that the mummies almost couldn't catch up with them.

Only this old man could be so relaxed and carefree...

The super dad's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his thoughts were even simpler, summed up in just one sentence.

Follow the right person!

......

[Ding! Your level has increased to 16, and you have gained 3 free attribute points!]

[Ding! The [Affix Grant] talent has taken effect, granting the gold affix [Area Spread]!]

"Hmm? It's spreading again."

After a slight pause, Chen Beixuan chose to store it again.

"It would be awesome if a large-area skill like Meteor or Blizzard came along..." he thought to himself.

If we can expand the coverage area to two ranges, it will directly cover a radius of several hundred meters. Just thinking about it is exciting.

"Or draw another one, a three-range spread plus protective flame would be good too, 20 meters range, anyone who tries to attack me will be burned."

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

It's already pretty good that it can achieve two ranged expansions; what more could you ask for?

A few minutes later...

Chen Beixuan destroyed all the mummies, and golden light fell once more!

[Ding! Your level has increased to 17, and you have gained 3 free attribute points!]

[Ding! The [Affix Grant] talent has taken effect, granting the gold affix [Area Spread]!]

"ah????"

"No, you're really coming!"

Chen Beixuan was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong, sir? You look terrible."

Seeing that his expression was off, Lu Ziming and the other man asked him with concern.

"Cough... It's okay, keep going and stay close to me."

Chen Beixuan regained his composure in an instant and stepped forward to clear the way.

He walked along, muttering to himself.

Should I give them a protective flame...?

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to level up to 20 first and see what exclusive skills he would get.

If it's a powerful area-of-effect skill, then it's a perfect match.

If not, then give me a protective flame.

With that thought in mind, he stopped worrying and continued forward with the two of them.

After walking for a few more minutes along the only dirt road in the cemetery, a stone gate suddenly appeared ahead.

Looking up, they realized it wasn't just a simple stone gate, but a gigantic building.

The stone pillars, each requiring two people to encircle, form the outer perimeter of the building, resembling the stone gates of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

The three entered the stone gate, which was as spacious as a large football field.

To their surprise, there was no thick fog inside, and the ground was covered with grass!

"What is this? The game designers' twisted sense of humor? They even made a football field..."

Lu Ziming couldn't help but complain when he saw this scene.

"Whether it's a football stadium or an airport, this should be the final checkpoint."

Chen Beixuan squinted and looked towards the center of the field.

The two turned their heads and, sure enough, discovered something amiss.

In the center, a group of black-robed wizards stood out, along with a monster shrouded in black mist.

"What should we do? Pull the mobs out first, or... Hey? Sir?"

Lu Ziming was still thinking about how to pull the monster when he suddenly saw Chen Beixuan rush over.

"What are you afraid of with me here? Let's go, I'll lead you through this!"

Chen Beixuan grinned and, as he walked, invested all the attribute points he had gained from the previous level-up into Intelligence.

At this point, Dark Erosion has already reduced his attack by 30%, so it's safer to increase his stats.
