A Turn Quest: Level 30 Dungeon!

Lin Mu placed his hand on the altar as the ritual demanded.

The altar emitted a pitch-black radiance, dense enough to swallow him whole.

[Necromancer Lin Mu has met the first-turn requirements]

[Please select your advancement path]

1.[Necromancer]

???

Lin Mu was completely dumbfounded!

What was going on?!

How was the advancement path still [Necromancer]?!

In the original owner's memories.

A Necromancer's first turn clearly had three distinct branches.

There was the [Bone Sage], who mastered powerful bone-based skills.

The [Shadow Caster], specializing in curses and shadow magic.

And the [Corpse Priest], who toyed with corpses and plague.

Why did he only have one option, and it was still [Necromancer]?

He did know that only those rare, special professions.

Kept the same class name from start to finish.

For example, Huaxia's guardian pillar, Diwu Weifeng.

His awakened profession, [Cultivator], had never changed from beginning to end.

Just as his thoughts were running wild.

The altar's prompt rang out coldly again.

[Please select your advancement path]

1.[Necromancer]

Lin Mu's mouth twitched.

"There's only one option, what kind of choice is this?"

He complained helplessly in his mind, but ultimately focused his intent on the sole option.

[Necromancer Lin Mu has selected advancement path: Necromancer]

[Advancement quest issued]

[Lin Mu's exclusive advancement quest: Clear the [Frost Plain] dungeon within three hours, and retrieve the BOSS-Frost Lord's exclusive quest drop item-Ice Soul Core]

[Exclusive advancement quest issued. Complete within three days, then return to the Holy Temple to submit the quest and complete the advancement]

"Damn it!"

Lin Mu barely held back from cursing out loud.

"What the hell is this?"

"[Frost Plain] is a level-thirty open dungeon! You want me, a freshly level-ten professional, to clear it in three hours?!"

Lin Mu's complaint received no response.

He could only sulkily pull his hand away from the cold altar.

"I hope you can complete your advancement quest quickly."

The white-robed priest didn't even lift an eyelid as Lin Mu left the altar, merely uttering a faint remark.

Exiting the Holy Temple.

Lin Mu suppressed his confusion and headed straight for the trading hall.

He sold off all the useless equipment he'd looted from the wilds and [Wailing Cavern] in one go.

Trash was trash.

Nearly twenty pieces in total, only netting him eighty thousand Nova Coins.

Then he restocked on high-grade health and mana potions.

Along with a few special potions that could remove abnormal statuses like freeze, slow, and poison.

And under Liu Qing's enthusiastic introduction.

Lin Mu spent another one hundred eighty thousand Nova Coins.

To buy a piece of purple equipment tailored for this quest.

[Frost Breath Whisper Hood](LV.10, Purple)

Defense: 25-30

Constitution: +5

Special Effect 1: Reduces incoming ice damage by 11%.

Special Effect 2: Recovers 10% mana per minute.

The Amethyst VIP Card directly applied a 30% discount, and the transaction was settled.

Lin Mu didn't delay and went straight back to his new home at Tianlan Mansion.

He eagerly took out the [Resurrect Skeleton Archer] skill book.

[Ding! Learn the skill "Resurrect Skeleton Archer"?]

"Learn!"

[Resurrect Skeleton Archer] (Level 1): Consumes 25 mana to summon 1 basic skeleton archer to fight for you. Maximum count: 1.

"Finally, a ranged unit!"

Lin Mu's eyes lit up, and his talent [Description Tamperer] activated immediately!

A more detailed description appeared before him.

[Resurrect Skeleton Archer] (Level 1): Consumes 25 mana. By channeling deathly aura, summons 1 skeleton archer wielding a bone bow from the void to fight for you. It fires bone arrows with a slow attack speed. Maximum count: 1.

Lin Mu was deeply conflicted.

His gaze swept back and forth over "wielding a bone bow," "fires bone arrows," and "maximum count."

In the end, he stuck to the formula.

First, he changed "Maximum count: 1" to "Maximum count: 9"!

Whoosh—

The skill description reshaped itself.

[Resurrect Skeleton Archer] (Level 1): Consumes 25 mana to summon 1 basic skeleton archer to fight for you. Maximum count: 9.

Next, Lin Mu turned his attention to the newly purchased [Frost Breath Whisper Hood].

"Change 'Reduces incoming ice damage by 11%' to 'Reduces incoming ice damage by 91%'!"

After a blur, the equipment's attributes changed.

[Frost Breath Whisper Hood] (LV.10, Purple)

Defense: 25-30

Constitution: +5

Special Effect 1: Reduces incoming ice damage by 91%.

Special Effect 2: Recovers 10% mana per minute.

With this round of modifications, this hood, which had been merely a decent purple item, instantly became a top-tier cold-resistant piece that would drive any professional crazy!

After doing this, Lin Mu allocated his accumulated attribute points.

It wasn't until midnight that his talent refreshed again!

Lin Mu modified his skills one by one.

He also leveled up [Resurrect Skeleton] once.

And [Resurrect Skeleton Archer] twice.

As for equipment, only [Frost Breath Whisper Hood] and [Fear Whisper Ring] were worth modifying for now.

[Frost Breath Whisper Hood] (LV.10, Purple)

Defense: 25-30

Constitution: +5

Special Effect 1: Reduces incoming ice damage by 91%.

Special Effect 2: Recovers 10% mana per second.

[Fear Whisper Ring] (LV.10, Gold)

Constitution: +5

Intelligence: +5

Cooldown: 60 seconds.

After the modifications, Lin Mu immediately equipped the new gear, and his stats panel was completely refreshed.

The next morning.

Lin Mu prepared everything and headed straight out of the city.

Over two hours later, he finally arrived at the [Frost Plain] dungeon entrance.

This place was different from [Wailing Cavern].

It was a resource dungeon open to professionals year-round.

Because the level requirement was relatively high, there weren't many people around normally.

A biting cold wind continuously blew out from the massive blue light gate, dropping the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

Three professional teams were recruiting members at the entrance, with signs listing their requirements.

<Level 30 [Frost Plain] group recruiting, need a strong tank and healer, gear requirement at least all blue!>

"Damn! The mobs in there counter me too hard, my ice spike damage gets cut in half!"

"Any big shot willing to carry me? I need an [Ice Crystal Beast] fang, price is negotiable!"

"Good thing you can quit the [Frost Plain] dungeon anytime, or I'd have definitely kicked the bucket in there last time!"

Lin Mu listened to the chatter around him, his expression calm as he walked toward the registration desk.

When the staff saw that he, a LV.10 Necromancer, was actually going to challenge [Frost Plain] solo, he made the exact same face as the [Wailing Cavern] registrar before him.

"Brother! Are you sure? This isn't a joke. The lowest level mobs in [Frost Plain] are twenty-eight. You..."

Lin Mu didn't say much. He silently showed his quest information.

The moment the staff saw the words "Class Advancement Quest," he immediately shut his mouth.

"Who in their right mind has a first advancement quest in a level thirty dungeon!"

The registrar found it strange in his heart, but he quickly processed the paperwork for him.

Under the gazes of the surrounding crowd, who looked at him like he was an idiot, Lin Mu stepped alone into that frozen world.

"Frost Lord... This Humble One, Lin Mu, is coming for you!"
