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

"Killing me will only cause you more trouble. I advise you not to do it."

Trike knew he was no match for them and had given up resisting.

He leaned on his sword to keep himself from falling, but his tone remained calm.

Chen Beixuan was slightly taken aback, then squinted and asked.

"You mean if I kill you, the powerful people behind you will come after me?"

Trico nodded. "That's exactly what I mean...so..."

"Thunder and lightning!"

boom--

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down!

True damage -25086.

Instantly empties the health bar!

Trike looked completely bewildered, a huge question mark popping into his head.

I've already said I have powerful backers, and the other party has heard that.

Why did he still dare to make a move?!

Isn't he afraid of dying?!

Chen Beixuan put down his staff and smiled at Trike.

"I'm really looking forward to their arrival. Goodbye!"

"puff--"

Upon hearing his words, Trick coughed up another mouthful of blood.

His eyes were fixed on the old man in front of him, his eyes wide open in death.

[Ding! You have defeated the level 20 Bronze Boss [Dark Swordsman Tricker], gaining 1050 experience points! Silver coins +56!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to 21, and you have gained 3 free attribute points!]

[Ding! [Affix Assignment] activated, you have obtained the gold affix [Power of Destruction]!]

[Power of Destruction]: Gold Quality

Effect description: Increases the base damage of the skill by 300%.

------

At the same time, a series of prompts sounded.

Several bright lights appeared around Trike!

He took two steps forward and picked them up one by one.

[You have obtained the purple equipment [Dark Cross Sword]!]

[You have obtained the blue equipment [Swordsman's Bracers] and [Ancient Ring]!]

[You have obtained 4 white-grade items!]

[You have obtained the skill books [Death Ray Slash] and [Black Mist Envelopment]!]

[You have obtained the item [Trick's Diary]!]

Chen Beixuan checked the attributes of the purple equipment.

Dark Cross Sword: Level 20 Purple Epic

Effect 1: Physical Attack +280

Effect 2: Strength +25, Agility +25

Effect 3: Critical hit rate +20%.

------

"The Assassin class, huh...?"

It was strange when Trick attacked before.

Despite being a warrior, he consistently landed critical hits, dealing extremely high damage.

He only realized what it was when he saw the weapon.

The Dark Swordsman should be classified as a warrior-assassin hybrid, a fusion of warrior and assassin.

It focuses on critical hits and attacks, and its physique is more durable than that of an assassin.

It's definitely a great hidden profession.

He shared the equipment's attributes with the two of them, and Lu Ziming immediately took a liking to it.

"Sir, I'll take the sword and the skill book. The money's already paid!"

He was quick-witted and transferred the money immediately.

[Ding! I've decided to defy fate and transfer 100 million to you. The money has been automatically deposited into your bank account!]

Chen Beixuan was both amused and exasperated by the sight.

These two items are worth around 50, but this kid gave me a million.

He wasn't one to mince words; he simply handed over the equipment and skill books.

They also stuffed the blue swordsman's bracers into it.

There's a blue ring left, but he doesn't need it.

I simply tossed it to the super dad next to me.

The super dad was flattered and overwhelmed as he received the ring.

"this..."

"Take it, and protect this kid well."

Chen Beixuan patted him on the shoulder, his face showing appreciation.

Although I felt this person was a bit strange when we first met.

But after spending a short time together, he also figured out what kind of personality the super dad had.

Steady, not talkative, yet intelligent and capable.

This kind of person is very much to his liking.

He healed him just now very promptly, remaining calm in the face of danger. He truly deserves the title of "Super Dad."

It's worth it to exchange a ring for the other person's favor.

At this time, Lu Ziming had completed the job change mission, and his appearance changed.

Long black hair cascaded down to her waist, and her upper body was bare with grayish-white skin.

Both hands are black, with dark red veins extending from the back of the hands to the forearms.

Surrounded by black mist, he was incredibly cool and awesome!

"He's kind of handsome..."

Chen Beixuan smacked his lips, inwardly sighing.

His Chaos Mage appearance remained unchanged, except that he now had sun and moon patterns on his palms.

The left hand holds the sun, the right hand holds the moon, corresponding to yin and yang, and chaos.

Compared to Lu Ziming's overall transformation, it pales in comparison.

However, he pursues power and doesn't care about these things.

"What is the effect of your passive skill?" he asked, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

Lu Ziming directly demonstrated his professional skills to the two of them.

------

"That's good. You can allocate all your points to Constitution from now on. The higher your health, the higher your attack."

Chen Beixuan gave a positive review after reading it.

Lu Ziming smiled and scratched his head, expressing his gratitude.

"Without your help, sir, I don't know when I would have been able to complete this task. Thank you very much."

"Alright, stop with the sentimentality."

Chen Beixuan raised his hand to interrupt him and quickly changed the subject.

"I'll help you level up again, then get the hell out of here, I have other things to do!"

Lu Ziming chuckled and nodded emphatically.

"Okay, whatever you say."

The three of them used the map to find a suitable spot to spawn monsters.

They soon found a desert basin teeming with venomous snakes and scorpions, at just the right density.

"Protective Flame!"

call--

Orange-yellow flames ignite, and any monster within 20 meters that touches them dies instantly!

[Ding! You have killed a [Desert Scorpion Lv.18], gaining 0 experience points! Copper coins +15!]

[Ding! You have killed the Desert Scorpion Lv18...]

......

His level is already 3 levels higher than the monsters, so he is no longer gaining experience.

All the experience entered Lu Ziming's body, and golden light continued to fall!

[Ding! Your level has increased to 11. You have gained...]

[Ding! Your level has increased to 12. You have gained...]

......

Lu Ziming followed closely behind Chen Beixuan, exclaiming how exhilarating it was!

"Wow, this leveling speed is amazing!"

"This is faster than a rocket!"

The super dad's eyelids twitched violently.

How is such a large-scale burning skill achieved?

Shouldn't sustained skills have very low damage multipliers?

Why are they all sold out in seconds!

He was secretly shocked; every time he saw Old Man Chen make a move, it refreshed his worldview.

"This upgrade speed...I want it too..."

The super dad felt incredibly envious, yet there was nothing he could do.

He also wanted to ask Old Man Chen for help with the job change quest, but he didn't have that much money.

Based on this brief interaction, he felt too embarrassed to ask for help.

Feeling a bitter taste in my mouth, I could only sigh to myself...

...as the golden light continued to fall.

In less than 10 minutes, Lu Ziming leveled up to level 18!

The basin was littered with charred snake and scorpion corpses, and a strange, meaty aroma wafted through the air.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the ground in front of us, and the earth shook violently!

Immediately afterwards, a giant desert scorpion burst out of the ground!
