A strange, twisted arc pulled at the corners of Lu Qiming's mouth amidst the swarm of monsters. His excited, eerie laughter grew louder and more intense with every monster that perished by his hand.

At this moment, Lu Qiming's lucid consciousness knew he seemed to have become a bit strange, but he felt nothing negative about it; if anything, he felt wonderful.

The dancing blood, the scattered brains, and the mournful cries of the monsters before death—all of it made his blood boil with increasing fervor. He felt the assassin techniques from his memories becoming more and more proficient; even without a weapon in hand, he could execute various moves with ease.

His enhanced body gradually adapted, and slaughtering monsters became as natural as eating or drinking, slowly forming into an instinctive reaction.

After he casually blew apart the head of an Ant-Man, his glowing red eyes turned toward the corner of the corridor, his mouth stretching wider to reveal his white teeth.

Just then, three Goblins behind him seized the opportunity to raise their heavy clubs and smash them down toward the back of Lu Qiming's head.

The next second, a crisp "thud-thud-thud" sound rang out as Lu Qiming kicked his left leg in a bizarre posture, blowing the heads of the three Goblins to pieces.

"Hehehehahaha."

Arrogant, eerie laughter erupted from Lu Qiming's throat. Ignoring the group of onlookers at the corner, he began another round of slaughter.

"Captain!"

The moment Lu Qiming looked toward them, the half-elf girl felt as if she were being stared at by some terrifying magical beast, as if she would be rushed down, her head smashed, and her body torn to shreds in the next second.

"Let's go!"

The captain, carrying a greatsword, wiped the cold sweat from his face and hurriedly signaled the other members to leave. He already regretted coming here; the adventurer besieged by monsters inside was definitely no amateur, but a perverted berserker who had come to slaughter monsters out of boredom!

"Hey! Why are we leaving? Can't we watch a little longer, Captain!"

Aili and Ailin, the two little loli girls, behaved completely differently from their teammates; their bodies trembled slightly, and a faint red light flickered in their eyes. They felt as if they had discovered a new world—so this was what a berserker was!

The wanton slaughter, the domineering laughter, and the peerless fists—every time a monster's head exploded, Aili and Ailin felt a strange excitement. Their toned legs rubbed together slightly, and a strange, excited sensation flowed from within their bodies.

"No!"

The captain looked at Aili and Ailin sternly. These two were also berserkers; if they turned out like this in the future, would they stop at nothing, even attacking their own teammates once they lost their heads?

Thinking of this, the captain grabbed the arms of the two little girls and headed toward the Dungeon exit. He must not let the new members of his familia be influenced by that person!

He believed that as long as he educated them well, these two little girls shouldn't turn out like that. After all, there were many adventurers with berserker abilities in Orario, but this was his first time seeing someone as insane as the boy currently slaughtering monsters.

"Hey! No, no!"

Aili and Ailin struggled constantly, shaking their little heads rapidly. But before their captain, who completely suppressed them in strength and level, they were powerless. Seeing this, the two little ones looked at each other, turned their heads, and shouted at the slaughtering Lu Qiming.

"Berserker senior! We will definitely come back!"

"..."

The captain was stunned for a moment upon hearing the two little girls' shouts, then he used force to pick them up and fled the scene with the other members.

"What? Berserker senior?"

Amidst the monster swarm, Lu Qiming, who had just blown the neck off a Goblin, looked suspiciously at the departing group and the two struggling little ones. When they first arrived, his superhuman perception had already detected them.

Especially when he noticed two cute little lolis looking at him with admiration, he had even paused to give them a friendly smile.

Why did they leave so suddenly, and why did the two little girls call him Berserker senior?

He was clearly an assassin, and he had been using assassin techniques the whole time—one strike, one kill, never needing a second move. Couldn't they see such obvious assassin traits? Why call him a berserker!

So infuriating!

The more Lu Qiming thought about it, the angrier he became. He lifted his lowered head to look at the few remaining monsters, his fingers pressed together like a snake's head.

The next second, a clean, gaping hole appeared on the foreheads of the remaining monsters simultaneously, and they collapsed into black ash.

"It must be because I don't have a weapon that they called me a berserker. Once I buy a weapon, I'll definitely show you what a real assassin is!"

Muttering to himself, Lu Qiming walked over to Stainless Steel Basin Brother. In this cold world, only the good brother who came to this world with him could provide a sliver of warmth.

Afterward, Lu Qiming squatted on the ground, holding the basin in his left hand and picking up the magic stones piled on the floor with his right, while opening his panel.

He saw that the mission progress at the top had reached two hundred, meaning he had killed 150 monsters just now.

At this point, his panel had changed:

Mission Countdown: 364 days 10:00 Mission Objective: 200/1000000 Name: Lu Qiming Lv7 (500/600) Age: 16 Spirit: 15.7 Strength: 15.7 Agility: 20.7 Constitution: 15.7 Class: Assassin Skill Points: 1

Looking at the brand-new panel, Lu Qiming nodded with satisfaction. Only 14 hours had passed since he transmigrated, including 8 hours spent unconscious in the sewers and awakening his class.

Moreover, in the remaining six hours, he had not only registered as an adventurer but also killed two hundred monsters. Lu Qiming was quite satisfied with this efficiency.

It was just that he had become a bit strange, but that wasn't a big problem; people change as their environment changes. Lu Qiming did not reject his own transformation.

He knew that coming from a peaceful era—especially a country where wandering outside in the middle of the night was perfectly safe—he possessed a soft heart, kindness, and even a touch of benevolence instilled by his upbringing.

While it wasn't to say such a personality was bad, it simply wouldn't do when dealing with most entities in this world!

In this world, there were gods, adventurers, and monsters within the Dungeon. Among the adventurers in particular, many would not hesitate to strike at companions they spent every day with for the sake of profit or their own safety, or would carelessly shift their own dangers onto others when faced with peril.

To that end, Lu Qiming also needed to change; even if it meant becoming cold, ruthless, or bloodthirsty, so what? They were all just irrelevant people anyway. The most he could guarantee was that he would resolve the dangers he provoked himself, without harming others.

As for whether he would form bonds with others in this world later on, that was a matter for the future. Lu Qiming couldn't guarantee anything in that regard; after all, humans were social animals, and although he was currently far stronger than an ordinary human, his heart was still that of an ordinary person in the midst of changing and adapting.
