There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 337, Super Farmer

As dawn broke, Xiao Yang returned to the City of Hope.

The crimson moon hangs high, but tonight, the City of Hope is perfectly calm, and nothing has happened.

This is extremely rare.

With a group of snake-men behind him, Xiao Yang's armor was stained with even more blood.

Once they ventured into the wilderness, those figures who went mad under the crimson moonlight inevitably faced certain fates.

But it's not a big problem.

"It's not a big problem."

Xiao Yang observed a very dangerous phenomenon.

In the wilderness, nearly 80% of the dungeons that were once scattered like stars have disappeared.

The large dungeons occupied by followers of evil gods are becoming even larger.

This trend seems to be linked to the increasingly unsustainable dungeon rules, and also to the increasingly weak world will of the Rotten Lands.

"It's terrible, I feel like things are about to reach their worst point."

The first domino to fall is the one that will be toppled.

We passed over this desolate urban ruin.

Suddenly, cheers erupted.

The great hero of the City of Hope has returned.

For the survivors in the City of Hope, who are all different in appearance and generally don't look like human beings.

The snake-man didn't seem that unusual.

It could even be described as quite ordinary.

Lena and the ghost maids really liked these little snake-men.

Their integration into the city was perfectly natural.

Of course, if things don't go smoothly, there aren't many other options.

The matter of reclaiming farmland is still in the planning stage.

After such a long period of time, most of the survivors had lost all concept of farming.

In a short period of time, a new profession emerged among these survivors.

Besides miners, fishermen, and loggers, a new profession has emerged.

"porter."

In the process of building cities, which required a large number of laborers, some survivors who had not completed their employment due to the corruption of the evil god naturally obtained jobs.

This may also be related to the large number of plague rats still remaining around the City of Hope.

Its body became much larger, its strength attribute increased dramatically, and its endurance and stamina recovery ability were greatly enhanced.

Thus, a new profession unique to the City of Hope, the porter, was born.

It's like a human excavator.

Overall, its strength is not outstanding, roughly in the range of level six to eight, but it is extremely professional when it comes to moving things.

If more porters could join the effort, the demolition of the Clock Tower City ruins could likely be completed within this month.

However, what's a bit puzzling is...

"Why did a new profession like porter suddenly appear, and at such a fast pace?"

This situation was truly surprising and piqued Xiao Yang's curiosity.

An idea popped into my head.

He's going to give it a try.

Soon, Xiao Yang gathered a group of people, who were composed of four different types.

A group of fishermen with scales growing on their bodies.

A group of miners whose bodies are covered in minerals.

A group of loggers whose vines weave through flesh and blood.

There was also a group of ordinary survivors who had no fixed occupation and bore various messy and polluted characteristics.

Taking out a batch of miscellaneous ordinary-quality weapons, Xiao Yang solemnly addressed them beneath the statue of the Goddess of Rest in the center of Hope City.

Do you like City of Hope?

"like!"

Most of the large number of survivors who were summoned gave this simple answer.

"Very well, do you want the City of Hope to continue indefinitely?"

"want to!"

"Take up the weapons here. From today onwards, you are the first city guards of the City of Hope. You are no longer ordinary fishermen, miners, lumberjacks, or those pitiful creatures who could only wail in despair in front of monsters."

"You will be the defenders, you will be the warriors!"

Xiao Yang then gave an impromptu speech.

Something unexpected happened.

Change has indeed occurred.

Before long, the occupations listed in the survivor information section changed.

Not all those summoned have changed; only a portion of them.

Those who most agreed with Xiao Yang's words often underwent this kind of change.

How should we describe this change?

"Change of job?"

The potential of this group of survivors is much higher than Xiao Yang had imagined.

In any case, after a few words, a group of survivors whose general level was only four or five suddenly had their general level rise by more than five levels, becoming combat-specialized professions.

Thus, the City of Hope gained four more city defense forces.

A naval force, a heavy infantry force, an archer force, and a militia unit.

This situation left Xiao Yang somewhat at a loss.

"When did changing jobs become so easy?"

To some extent, coexisting with evil gods in this hopeless apocalypse, coupled with the rules of the dungeon, has truly created a group of beings with great potential.

The composition of these survivors is very complex.

If Xiao Yang were to describe it...

They seem to have transformed themselves into some kind of all-purpose peasant in real-time strategy.

It belongs to the type that can develop abnormally and exist on the spot as long as it is needed and the conditions are triggered.

I'm not sure how to even begin to criticize this.

"This should be a good thing, right?"

That day, these newly appointed city guardians began patrolling around the City of Hope.

Clear out the newly infiltrated monsters and existing demons from the ruins of Clock Tower City.

The cemetery for the deceased has entered the construction phase.

However, Xiao Yang felt that the cheap skeletons that came out of the cemetery of the dead were probably no more professional than these urban survivors who had just completed their job change.

Xiao Yang sensed a very familiar residual power in these survivors who had undergone abrupt changes.

"Dungeon Rules".

It seems that the survivors were only able to make such changes, or rather, make such changes without restriction, within this short period of time.

What extremely significant event occurred during this period that could bring about such a change?

"The fall of the god of springs."

"The Second Crimson Moon".

"The dungeon rules are difficult to maintain."

Yes, this is the one!

If dungeon rules are involved, then this could explain why these survivors, who were not particularly remarkable before, are now in the situation.

After a brief explanation, they took up their weapons and, with some stumbles and falls, gained more experience, which gradually became more and more suitable for their new profession.

"So, how many systematic rules did you actually stitch together or plagiarize in your dungeon rules?"

First, the dungeon rules are off the table; then there are some of the lords; and finally, even the class rules and some of the divine kingdom rules from the game have been taken away.

Let's understand it this way.

If we understand the survivors' job changes as ranks within the divine system, completing a job change is like a soul that has just entered the divine realm, received the warrior rank, and transformed into the lowest-ranking battle angel.

Of course, generally speaking, ordinary people cannot undergo such changes as believers who enter God's Kingdom.

However, it is clear that he turned the impossible into the possible with the dungeon rules.

"Once you understand it, things become much easier to comprehend."

Of course, all of this may have nothing to do with the rules of the dungeon.

However, Xiao Yang felt it was unlikely that it had nothing to do with the rules of the dungeon.

"Why is all of this so naturally steered towards the rules of the dungeon?"

Since the calamity of the evil god in the Rotten Lands, the normal world rules have completely collapsed, and these survivors seem to have been living in dungeons generation after generation.

Because Xiao Yang gleaned clues and elements from his intuition.

In some ways, the rules of the dungeon are the biggest source of pollution in the Decaying Lands.

He then carefully observed these city guards who had completed their job change.

Their sense of self was not affected much; the timid remained timid, the fearful remained fearful, and the brave remained brave.

After completing the job change, I simply accepted the new and additional tasks quite naturally.

I think I understand two things now.

"What do we need to do?"

"How to do."

After figuring all this out, Xiao Yang's little brain started working like crazy.

Xiao Yang realized that he had underestimated the Rotten Land, and he had underestimated the rules of the dungeon.

Suddenly, a sigh escaped his lips.

"As expected, heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river! I underestimated you! Dungeon Rules!"

This rotten land is not just an ordinary cesspool, but a rather peculiar cesspool mixed with many elements.

However, for now, this situation is still favorable, favorable to Xiao Yang, provided that the evil gods do not make good use of these survivors who have been corrupted by the dungeon rules.

"Will this happen?"

Is such a rule really just for one's own benefit?

In some ways, the evil gods are far more familiar with the rules of the dungeon than Xiao Yang is.

Given such a significant change in the dungeon rules, is it possible that the evil gods might miss out?
I have a bad feeling.

Xiao Yang remembered a law.

"Good things don't always come true, but bad things always seem to come true."
