Chapter 151 Job Change! Shadow Overlord
And so, Chen Yifan took on the role of a sanitation worker and managed to clean the area thoroughly, inside and out.
Wang Jianguo went and returned a total of 5 times.
back home.
My mother and sister had already gone to bed.
He threw himself heavily onto the bed.
Only four hours had passed since Lin Sen mentioned three days.
The items have been sent out.
I don't know if they will come back.
The power to speak always belongs to the stronger party.
Leaving things to fate is not in his nature.
Time flies.
Chen Yifan still hadn't come up with a foolproof plan.
The shadow cast by Lin Sen loomed over my heart.
He is still too weak.
Chen Yifan opened his right hand, and a flash of light appeared in his palm.
A card, entirely black with a blurry human figure blending into the shadows depicted in the center, quietly appeared.
S-Rank, Unique, Shadow Overlord Job Change Card.
The cold card surface pressed against my palm, its unique vibrations seemed to carry a fatal allure.
According to the rules of the [World Engine].
All professions have one opportunity to change jobs at levels 25, 50, and 75.
What is the first job advancement for a thief?
Habitual thief.
It sounds like a promotion from "intern" to "senior," full of dark humor.
In reality, the characteristics of the profession have hardly changed at all.
I've gained another professional skill.
Slip through the lock.
It also provides a negligible boost to the success rate and skill level of theft.
But that pitiful little bit of extra credit only resulted in being forever nailed to the career path of "thief," never to be able to turn back.
And now...
Chen Yifan's gaze fell on the card that emitted a dim light.
S-Rank, Unique, Shadow Overlord
He didn't know what a normal thief's ceiling would look like when they turned around, but he was certain it wasn't this.
This is not a job change.
This is a leap in social status!
He did not hesitate any longer.
The door was locked from the inside, and the curtains were drawn tightly shut.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, placing the [Shadow Overlord Job Change Card] on his knees, his mind more focused than ever before.
[Use the 'Shadow Overlord Job Change Card'?]
"yes!"
hum-
The card melted away silently.
Following his fingertips, it forcefully rushed into his body!
When ordinary professionals change jobs, they are passively subjected to the rules of the [World Engine], like data being forcibly written onto a hard drive.
At this moment, Chen Yifan felt like a reservoir that had opened its floodgates.
That dark energy encountered no resistance, flowing along his body, cleansing every limb and bone, like a wanderer returning home.
[Detected that professional 'Chen Yifan' is using an S-rank, unique job change item...]
[Prerequisites met]
[Career compatibility test...100%!]
[Talent compatibility detection...? ? ? (Out of detection range)]
[Beneficial bug fix... Fix failed...]
[Currently undergoing a career transition...]
The F-rank job "Thief" has been removed.
[S-Rank, Unique Class 'Shadow Overlord' Loading...]
The cold, impersonal system notifications rang in my mind one after another.
Chen Yifan's body is undergoing a dramatic transformation.
Beneath his skin, countless black shadows roamed wildly, devouring the light and the last traces of his profession as a "thief" within him.
The bones emitted a crisp popping sound, and the muscle fibers broke and reformed in an unbelievable way.
This is a forced optimization originating from the genetic level of life!
Evolve savagely in a direction more suited to stealth, more suited to killing, and more suited to becoming one with the darkness!
The excruciating pain surged like a tidal wave, only to be swallowed up by an even deeper chill in the next second.
Chen Yifan's consciousness was forcibly dragged into a pure dark world.
There is no light, no sound, no time here.
There was only endless, viscous, seemingly living darkness.
Any normal professional would instantly lose their way, go insane, and become a madman upon entering this consciousness space that represents the origin of the "Shadow Overlord".
But Chen Yifan remained as steady as a rock.
The advantages of the [Heart Palace] Foundation Building are fully revealed at this moment!
His consciousness remained fixed on that white jade platform.
No matter how the darkness of the outside world erodes and tempts, that platform emits an eternal, undying glow, illuminating its small area.
He observed this new territory that was about to belong to him like a detached observer.
"This is... the origin of shadow?"
He tried to reach out the "hand" of his consciousness to touch that darkness.
Cold, submissive.
Like the extension of his arm.
The next second, a sudden inspiration struck.
boom!
The entire dark space surged violently, transforming into billions of black pythons that obeyed his will, coiling and flying, and finally coalescing into a black figure exactly like him before him.
The figure faced him, knelt on one knee, and bowed in respect.
[S-Rank, Unique Class 'Shadow Overlord' Loading Complete.]
Congratulations on becoming the King of Shadows.
Chen Yifan suddenly opened his eyes.
The room is still the same room.
But the world, in his perception, was completely different.
The shadow in the corner is no longer just "dim," but a "domain" where one can hide and move around.
The moonlight filtering through the curtains cast a shadow on the floor that was no longer lifeless; it was like a loyal soldier, quietly awaiting the king's inspection.
An idea.
Chen Yifan's figure blurred on the bed, and in the next instant, he silently appeared in the shadows behind the door.
[Shadow Cloak]!
This is similar to the [Myriad Thoughts Return to Shadow] talent stolen from Bai Xiang, but it is even more unrestrained!
He spread his hands.
In the palm of his hand, a dark shadow twisted and rose as if it were alive, eventually transforming into a crow flapping its wings.
A scarlet light gleamed in the crow's eyes.
【Shadow Creation】.
With a thought, the crow vanished silently, returning to his palm.
He quickly opened the properties panel.

A series of brand-new skills and ridiculously powerful class characteristics made even him a little apprehensive.
The attributes have experienced explosive growth!
Strength and agility each increased by 120 points! Mental strength soared by a whopping 220 points!
Among them, there are 20 fixed attribute points that come with the upgrade, which directly breaks through the previous limit of 10 points!
Is this the true value of the only S-class profession?
Unbelievable!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
A series of rapid and forceful knocks on the door abruptly jolted him awake from his shock.
"Brother Fan! Brother Fan?"
It was Wang Fugui's voice, filled with excitement.
Chen Yifan frowned and glanced at the time. It was already morning.
Just as he was about to open the door, another clear but slightly trembling voice rang out.
"Brother Fan... Brother Fugui, when he heard you were back, he insisted on dragging me over..."
It's Lin Xiaoyu.
"Fan-ge? What's wrong? If you don't open the door, I'll break it down!"
"Click."
The door opened.
Outside the door, Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu stood looking travel-worn.
Wang Fugui's honest face was filled with anxiety.
On his exposed arms, several new, gruesome scars appeared, intertwined with the old ones, a shocking sight.
Lin Xiaoyu stood behind him, holding a thermal lunchbox. Her face was pale under the hallway lights, but her eyes were brighter and more determined than ever before.
"Brother Fan, you're finally back!"
As soon as Wang Fugui saw Chen Yifan, he wanted to rush up and give him a bear hug.
Chen Yifan subtly stepped to the side, causing him to miss his target.
"What's with all the wailing so early in the morning?" He feigned displeasure, scrutinizing the two of them. "What...did you two fall into a coal pile in some dungeon?"
"Hehe." Wang Fugui scratched his head sheepishly, "I just came out of the dungeon and heard you were back, so I rushed over immediately."
"Brother Fan..." Lin Xiaoyu handed over the insulated lunchbox in her hand and said in a low voice, "This is bone broth that I made. You...you must not have eaten properly again."
Chen Yifan took the warm lunchbox, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He could clearly sense the ruthless, death-defying energy emanating from these two men.
[Secret Investigation]
[Target: Wang Fugui, Level: 25...]
[Target: Lin Xiaoyu, Level: 25...]
Ok?
They had actually reached level 25 and completed their job change.
It seems these two have been working incredibly hard while he was away.
"Come in."
Chen Yifan stepped aside to make way.
"No, no!"
Wang Fugui waved his hands repeatedly.
"We just came to check on you and make sure you're back safe! We need to head back and continue grinding!"
"The college entrance exam is in two days. Let's try to advance to the next grade before it starts!"
As he said this, his eyes gleamed with an almost fanatical light.
Chen Yifan was startled.
The college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow?
Does time fly by so fast?
He looked at the new scars on Wang Fugui's body.
Looking at Lin Xiaoyu's pale but stubborn face.
They seem to have found their own path.
"OK."
Chen Yifan nodded and didn't try to persuade him further.
He opened the lunchbox, and the rich aroma of bone broth instantly wafted out. In front of the two of them, he tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
The scalding hot soup slid down my throat and into my stomach, dispelling the last trace of coldness brought by "Shadow Overlord".
"The soup is good." He looked at Lin Xiaoyu, smiled, and said, "Thanks."
Lin Xiaoyu's face flushed bright red instantly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"Well... Brother Fan, we'll be going now!"
Wang Fugui grinned, grabbed Lin Xiaoyu, turned and ran, afraid that if he stayed even a second longer, he would change his mind.
Chen Yifan stood at the door, watching them disappear from sight.
He held the bone broth in his hand, but didn't touch it for a long time.
After a long while, he closed the door and leaned against it.
He wasn't the only one who became stronger.
It seems that Wuhan University is even more attractive to them than he imagined.
Since you want to take the most difficult path.
As your older brother, I have to pave the way for you.
college entrance examination?
Then let's go have some fun together.
