Night had fallen.
Wild monsters were harder to hunt in the dark, so it would be better to run dungeons for experience and resources.
More than that, Song Gua had another motive for running dungeons.
Breaking records!
Breaking a dungeon record guaranteed a Class Change Gold Medal!
The classes contained within the Class Change Gold Medals were all unique, and only came in two grades: A-Rank and S-Rank!
Song Gua was very satisfied with his class, Bonder. Paired with his cloning ability, it was a match made in heaven.
He wanted the Class Change Gold Medal to make his clones stronger.
This was the destiny-altering plan he had come up with on the spot right after his first class change into a Bonder!
A thousand years had passed since the game Divine Cleric merged with reality.
The records for low-level dungeons had long been polished to perfection, making them extremely difficult to rewrite.
It had been over a century since the record for the level 5 dungeon was last broken.
Various strategies, precise timing tricks, map bugs, or fully decked-out teams with top-tier gear—any method that could potentially create a faster record had already been exhausted by their predecessors.
However, no one could have possibly tried running a dungeon with two hundred people at once!
No matter how deep the predecessors' strategies were or how good their equipment was, a dungeon could only allow a maximum of five people to enter.
But Song Gua was about to storm into the dungeon with 200 clones!
Song Gua arrived at the nearest light rail station. He boarded the train and took it to the First Class Change Dungeon Zone.
The Light Mist Zone closest to the city was filled with various leveling areas, ranging from level 1 to level 30.
At the edge of the Light Mist Zone, bordering the Medium Mist Zone, lay the First Class Change Dungeon Zone.
One after another, swirling vortex-like dungeon entrances stretched across the sky and earth, looking magnificent and imposing. Inside them, starlight twinkled in a dazzling display of colors.
Dungeons started at level 5, with two new dungeons appearing every 5 levels.
Dungeons restricted the level and number of entrants.
The level restriction for a level 5 dungeon was level 5 to 10; for a level 10 dungeon, it was level 10 to 15, and so on.
Regular dungeons allowed a maximum of five people to enter.
The highest level dungeon in the First Class Change Dungeon Zone was level 25.
At level 30, professionals could undertake the Second Class Change challenge.
The Second Class Change Dungeon Zone was not in the Light Mist Zone, and the light rail built by the city only extended to the edge of the Light Mist Zone.
If Second Class Change professionals wanted to run dungeons, they had to travel through the Medium Mist Zone themselves.
These dungeons that were open year-round were basic dungeons.
Occasionally, entrances to limited-time challenge dungeons would appear in the dungeon zone. The players who achieved the first clear would receive extra rewards.
Therefore, major guilds would have some of their strongest teams take turns camping in the dungeon zone.
The moment a challenge dungeon appeared, they would immediately enter to fight for the first clear rewards.
Since some rare materials could only be found in the first clear rewards of challenge dungeons, these dungeons naturally became fiercely contested battlegrounds for the guilds.
As a result, the dungeon zone was bustling 24 hours a day, with a foot traffic that rivaled the leveling zones.

If this were a game, the people around the dungeon zone right now would have text bubbles popping up over their heads.
Unfortunately, this was reality.
The professionals had to shout with megaphones.
Streetlights were installed around the dungeon zone, and a small market had formed nearby where many professionals exchanged supplies.
The reason it was only a small market was because the location of the dungeon zone wasn't stationary.
Those massive vortex entrances slowly revolved around the city.
Every few decades, they would complete a full circle around the city.
The radius of this circle was simply too large.
Song Gua walked into the market to take a look.
The supplies here were much more expensive than at the trading post in the city.
It felt like buying water at a tourist attraction.
It was probably to rip off people who were in a hurry to enter a dungeon and happened to be missing something.
Without lingering in the small market, Song Gua walked a few kilometers west and arrived at the entrance of the level 5 dungeons.
There were two level 5 dungeons.
Red-Eyed Monkey Mountain and Spider Cave.
High school curriculums in this world already covered theoretical knowledge related to professionals.
Such as basic dungeon knowledge.
Song Gua remembered the textbook saying that among the level 5 dungeons, Red-Eyed Monkey Mountain had a relatively lower difficulty.
For his first time running a dungeon, it was better to take it step by step, so Song Gua planned to tackle Red-Eyed Monkey Mountain first.
When normal people entered a dungeon for the first time, they would usually get themselves a decent set of equipment.
Common-grade gear was definitely too poor; they had to buy at least a set of Uncommon-grade gear, otherwise no one would want them in a team.
Song Gua, however, prepared nothing. Wearing his set of level 10 Common gear, he walked toward the dungeon entrance.
A group of people was blocking the entrance ahead.
Looking closely, they were all familiar faces.
Zhao Can, Hua Xiangrong, and Ma Feng.
In front of Zhao Can stood five Level 10 professionals, their equipment looking exceedingly exquisite.
One of them hadn't hidden his personal information, so Song Gua inspected it.
He found that all of this person's equipment, except for the four accessory slots—ring, necklace, bracelet, and cloak—were of Rare quality!
Before the Second Class Change, the highest equipment quality one could obtain was Rare; Epic and Legendary qualities did not exist yet.
Accessories had even lower qualities and were rarely dropped, so many people just wore Common accessories and scraped by until their Second Class Change.
In other words, these five level 10 professionals were basically in a top-tier state right now.
Zhao Can was level 6, and Hua Xiangrong beside him was level 5.
With power-levelers taking them to kill monsters above their levels, their leveling efficiency naturally wasn't low.
They couldn't compare to Song Gua, mainly because they didn't have enough power-levelers.
After you go in, remember to turn on the dungeon livestream so we can watch your performance from the outside.
Zhao Can was lecturing the captain of this level 10 squad.
The captain was extremely respectful to Zhao Can.
Rest assured, Young Master Can, we will definitely make it onto the leaderboard this time!
Not just make it onto the leaderboard, I mean the top ten! That set of gear you're wearing is a custom build that my Zhao family spent a fortune on, hiring a Second Class Change Forging Sequence Master and expending a massive amount of precious resources to create!
Understood, understood. I could wear this gear all the way to level 30 without a problem!
Remember, after getting on the leaderboard, your message must advertise the new research results of my Zhao Pharmaceutical Group. Otherwise, not only will you not get your final payment, but you'll also have to compensate us tenfold. Got it?
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
