Chapter 125: Rejecting Principal Zhang, News of a Rare Job Change Card
On television, the host was recounting the legend of "Young Hero Chen Yifan" in an enthusiastic, high-spirited tone.
The background music is majestic.
The scene was incredibly moving.
The camera cuts to an interview, and Zhao Lixin's ruddy face fills the screen.
He appeared incredibly proud, as if he had personally killed Bai Xiang.
"Chen Yifan has always been the most outstanding student in Jiangcheng! He has proven with his actions that heroes are not defined by their origins!"
Principal Zhou Dehai, who was standing next to him, nodded vigorously in agreement.
A proud smile graced his face, and every gesture was perfectly executed.
Chen Yifan quietly watched the two passionate men on the screen.
His eyes were calm and expressionless.
He turned off the TV.
hum-
My phone vibrated at an inopportune moment.
Caller ID: Zhou Dehai.
It's true what they say, whoever you mention will come to pass.
Chen Yifan answered the call expressionlessly.
"Hey? Is this Yifan? Oh, it's the principal!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Dehai's voice sounded so enthusiastic it was almost unreal.
"Principal Zhou."
"Yifan, you're finally online! You have no idea how worried the school was about you..."
Chen Yifan's gaze fell on his dusty trouser legs.
Worry?
When the explosions went off, he only saw the backs of people running faster than rabbits.
He replied politely but distantly.
"Thank you for your concern, Principal."
"Of course!"
Zhou Dehai immediately seized the opportunity to get to the point.
"Look, the wild instance issue is over. As the pride of the school, shouldn't you come back...?"
"headmaster."
Chen Yifan's voice wasn't loud, but it brought the incessant chatter on the other end of the phone to an abrupt halt.
"I'm not going back."
"No... not going back? Yifan, what does that mean?"
"An SSS-level rating already got me a special admission to Wuhan University, didn't it?"
"Ah...that's true, but after all..."
"Also, I'm already level 25."
Chen Yifan's tone remained calm.
"The school curriculum is not very meaningful to me at the moment."
"..."
"Um, Principal, so much has happened today, I'm a little tired and want to rest."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Zhou Dehai any time to react.
The busy signal made Zhou Dehai's enthusiastic smile freeze.
Level 25?
This kid leveled up ten levels in the wild dungeon?
An F-level professional?
How is that possible!
……
Meanwhile, Jiangcheng No. 1.
Chen Yifan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, planning his next steps.
Job change!
Treatment for my sister's eyes.
He brought up the attributes panel.
Level: 25 (Experience Points: 50000/32500)
The experience bar had already overflowed, with a gray chain icon stuck at the end.
[Note: You have reached the current job level cap. Please go to the 'Job Temple' in any city as soon as possible to accept and complete the first job advancement quest.]
The first fork in the road has appeared.
Normal job change?
From a thief to a high-level thief or a robber.
There is no future in it.
What he wanted was a rare career change that could fundamentally transform his profession.
For example, there's the "Shadow Thief" who controls shadows and space, or the "Trickster Assassin" who combines assassination and illusion.
All of this is inseparable from one thing – the [Rare Job Change Card].
At the same time, another matter must be put on the agenda immediately.
My sister's eyes.
This matter had been weighing on his mind for far too long.
The best spiritual energy eye hospital in the province is located in the neighboring city of Hangzhou, where the surgeon is a national treasure-level master of healing named Liu Siyuan.
It is said that her appointment with a specialist is booked for three years in advance, and the consultation fee is astronomical.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yifan dialed Mu Wanqing's number directly.
"Hey! What are you trying to do now?!"
As soon as the call connected, Mu Wanqing's fiery roar came through.
It was obvious that she had finally managed to fall asleep again after being harassed by Chen Yifan.
did not expect!
Mad!
"woke up?"
"Spit it out!"
Two things.
Chen Yifan's words were concise and to the point.
"explain!"
"First, I need Professor Liu Siyuan from Hangzhou's No. 1 Psionic Hospital. I need her for the fastest appointment."
There was no response on the other end of the phone.
Several seconds passed before Mu Wanqing's icy voice finally rang out.
"Chen Yifan, are you treating me like a wishing lamp? It's not about the money when it comes to Liu Siyuan's account..."
"second."
Chen Yifan completely ignored her complaints and continued to state his opinion.
"Get me a rare job change card with an agility-based skill set, the higher the quality, the better."
"you!"
Mu Wanqing's voice turned shrill, as if she was about to crush the phone in the next second.
"You really dare to say that!"
"Do you think that thing is like a cabbage growing by the roadside?!"
"contract……"
Chen Yifan's tone was unhurried, yet carried a cold, oppressive force.
"Listen, Mu Wanqing."
"The thing I have plenty of right now is money; I need to become stronger!"
Not short of money?
This madman... did he somehow get some unexpected benefits again?
Wait, something's not right!
This guy wouldn't be... a hundred different...
On the other end of the phone, Mu Wanqing thought of an unbelievable possibility, and her breath hitched.
Chen Yifan leaned back on the sofa, his voice as calm as if he were stating a given fact.
"You may not be able to do it, but I can find other ways."
"Or, go directly to your rivals, such as the 'Four Seas Alliance'."
"I think they would be very interested in a 'partner' who has a huge sum of money and has survived a legendary assassin."
This is no longer a hint; it's an open secret.
really.
If Mu Wanqing can't even understand this, then she's not qualified to continue being the heir to the Jiangcheng Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.
"...Give me ten minutes."
After a long while, Mu Wanqing finally managed to squeeze out those words through gritted teeth before abruptly hanging up the phone.
A slight smile finally appeared on Chen Yifan's lips.
In this world, value always determines the right to speak.
Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, the phone rang again.
"nailed it."
Mu Wanqing's voice revealed an overwhelming weariness.
"Professor Liu Siyuan has an internal academic exchange surgery tomorrow afternoon."
"I spent a lot of money to get you a spot in the 'clinical observation' program. Your sister can then be invited to perform surgery as a 'special case'."
Invited case study?
This term is quite novel.
"Will there be any problems?"
"Don't worry, I checked, the success rate is 100%."
"Okay, where's the job change card?"
Chen Yifan's tone was completely calm, as if this was how it should be.
"snort."
Mu Wanqing snorted coldly.
"[Rare Job Change Card]... This thing is rarer than you think."
"However, you're lucky."
Her voice carried a sense of "you're lucky."
"Qilin Group, you know it, right? A company that suddenly rose to prominence in China, mainly engaged in high-end equipment and biological agents."
Chen Yifan listened quietly.
Qilin Group.
Of course he knew.
If the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is the underground king of the distribution industry...
Then there's the emerging Qilin Group.
It's a manufacturing behemoth standing in the sunlight.
No one knew where the other party came from, and overnight, the name resounded throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Very mysterious.
"A week ago, one of their secret transport teams was on its way back to Longdu from the western border when it encountered a beast tide in the 'Black Wind Gobi' and was almost completely wiped out."
"The convoy was equipped with a batch of their latest high-precision equipment, and... the key point is!"
"There are rumors that they obtained three rare job change cards from a special dungeon in the Western Regions."
Chen Yifan lowered his eyelids slightly.
Three cards?
Black Wind Gobi.
One of the most dangerous places in the western border of the Dragon Kingdom.
The area is constantly battered by powerful, energy-filled winds capable of tearing through steel; anyone below level 30 who enters will face certain death.
Not to mention, strange beasts roam the area, most of them being monsters around level 50.
"Of course, this intelligence was secretly sold to the black market by the survivors of the transport team, who wanted to find someone to go in and make a quick buck before the official recovery team of the Qilin Group arrived."
"However, it's not that simple. The news has already spread, and nobody knows if the three job change cards are real or fake."
Chen Yifan understood the subtext in her words.
"You mean... someone deliberately leaked this information to lure people in as cannon fodder?"
"clever."
Mu Wanqing's voice carried a hint of approval.
"The appearance of even one [Rare Job Change Card] is enough to cause a sensation, but now there are rumors of three at once, which must be a trap. But if there's a trap, it also means there's something to be gained."
Chen Yifan thought about it and realized that nothing comes without a reason.
But something seems off about this.
"According to reliable sources, in three days, the survivor will organize a group of professionals, or you could say a suicide squad, to go deep into that hellish place to carry out a retrieval operation."
Mu Wanqing's voice rang out again.
"Whoever can retrieve the 'black box' from the transport convoy will receive an astronomical reward. Of course, if they can find those job change cards..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Whoever finds it, it belongs to them.
"So, you want me to go to the Black Wind Desert and become a 'scavenger'? Or, to infiltrate their recruitment team and become a suicide squad?"
"That's right, this is currently the only news that can get you a rare job change card. Whether you go or not is up to you."
