Chapter 243 Second Profession (Part 2)

【Name: Proliferated Flesh】

[Effect: Causes the flesh and blood to regenerate, which can be used to heal external injuries such as severed limbs, but there is a high chance of inflicting the debuff "Flesh Abnormality", which disappears after leaving the dungeon.]

Inside Kamal's belly, Ji Yi's body was constantly corroded and digested, yet it continued to grow.

Strangely, each time these flesh and blood are digested and grow again, they undergo some changes.

If it originally only resembled a monster, then with the fifth, sixth, and seventh regenerations, Ji Yi's flesh and blood became increasingly disgusting, terrifying, and indescribable.

This is the price of [proliferating flesh and blood].

If the same area is repeatedly damaged, the flesh that grows back will become more deformed and horrific with each use of the item, and with each recurrence, it will also have a serious impact on the user's SAN value.

Ji Yi was unharmed only because his mental strength was high enough, so his resistance was stronger. However, with repeated digestion, dissolution, and regeneration, his will would also be polluted and corroded over time.

But before that, Camarelle will surely be the first to give in.

It's actually quite difficult to say what effect a perfect item could have on an SSS-level powerhouse.

After all, not every item is as special as the [Mask of the Faceless One]. Low-level items are almost no threat to powerful characters.

However, [Flesh Proliferation] is an exception.

The source of power in the ghost stories is the evil element, which in turn comes from the ancient gods. Therefore, the power system of the [Proliferating Flesh] obtained from the Ghost Tower is quite clear: it is a "cursed item" related to the ancient gods.

At this point, it's time to talk about the connection between hell, demons, and the ancient gods.

It was previously stated that the demons could not be directly summoned to Azure Star for some reason.

This is not some random rule, but because the existence of the ancient gods is too dangerous, so Hell has directly severed its connection with Azure Star.

After all, this kind of cognitive pollution would frighten even the demons in hell, which is why they summoned each other to a small hell as a means of exchange. There are reasons for all of this.

Ji Yi, through her keen eye for data and analytical judgment, guessed the reason.

"Little glutton, haven't you had enough to eat yet?"

Ji Yi's voice was severely distorted at this moment, but thanks to the game system's built-in language translation, it didn't affect Kamal's ability to understand him.

"What the hell are you? Ugh! So disgusting, so disgusting!"

Ji Yi was right after all; the power of this ancient god was indeed unbearable even for demons.

The initial flesh and blood distortions are still digestible, but the degree of distortion becomes more severe and the effects become more intense as time goes on.

[Proliferation Flesh] is rated as perfect because of its excessive side effects. Although it tends to become more powerful with use, how could a normal player possibly use it to this stage?

Therefore, its current role far exceeds the rating defined by the game.

"How disgusting! Ugh!!!"

Camar could no longer bear it, and the intense nausea made him vomit uncontrollably.

In an instant, the sea of ​​blood, accompanied by yellow-green gastric acid, poured into the parched red soil, creating a river.

A lump of rotten flesh, no longer recognizable as human, was also flowing in the vast ocean.

"Although this is my first transaction, don't think I don't know the rules."

Ji Yi's unpleasant voice rang out from the rotting flesh.

“Once a deal is struck with the devil, neither party can go back on their word. Now that I have paid my price, it is your turn to grant my wish.”

That's right. Even if Ji Yi messed with Camar, and even if Camar hates Ji Yi to the core now, he still can't act rashly. Killing Ji Yi would be a unilateral breach of contract, and the price he would have to pay would be even greater.

"Why the hell?! Why did you do this to me?!"

After vomiting, Kamal felt an emptiness in his stomach. He stared at the rotting flesh in the ocean and asked...

"hehe."

Ji Yi merely sneered: "If I don't make a move, you're the one who will. Assuming we followed the proper procedures and traded fairly from the beginning, and you didn't resort to your petty schemes, we could still have a pleasant working relationship. Alright, there's no need to say anything more."

"You should grant my wish, Ka."

"Damn it!" Kamal roared. "You just wait, I'll never let you get away with this!"

"Hahaha!"

Ji Yi gave a dry laugh: "I've done good deeds all my life, so of course I'll go to heaven after I die!"

"you!"

Kamal bared his teeth in anger, waved his hand vehemently, and turned to leave.

In an instant, Ji Yi felt a white light gradually appear before her eyes, her hearing and vision gradually failed, and her consciousness gradually sank.

Welcome to Hyperdimensional Games

A new character has been created.

【Ji Yi: LV.1】

[Strength: 0] "+"

[Spiritual Power: 0] "+"

[Defense: 0] "+"

[Speed: 0] "+"

[Agility: 0] "+"

[Addable points: 20]

Please complete the attribute point allocation first.

When Ji Yi opened his eyes, everything in front of him felt both strange and familiar.

"Can you really go back in time? What's the principle behind it?"

Ji Yi scratched his head, puzzled.

In his opinion, this was most likely something like an illusion. After all, demons couldn't possibly be superior to the game itself; how could they have such a huge cheat code?

[Exactly! How could a little devil possibly be stronger than a hyperdimensional game?]

"Huh, Hagi Eyes? Why are you still here?"

Show some respect. Nothing but me can accompany you back to the past.

"As expected of the Eye of Data, could you please explain the situation to me?"

[Kamael does indeed take you back to the past, but it only returns your player character's attributes to the "game's past," not your actual character.]

The difference is that you can't do anything else right now except play hyper-dimensional games, because you can't return to reality.

"?"

In other words, he will be spending the next few months in the dungeon.
Keep in mind that the ratio of real-time to game time is 1:2, which is really... tough.

As for why I'm here, it's because I'm bound to your soul. Haven't you noticed that your spiritual power is still strong?

"I see. That's why the soul is unaffected by the regression, and that's why you're here."

Ji Yi roughly understood.

"Alright, now it's time to think about a career. How about following Miss Xie's example and maxing out defense since she's too afraid of pain?"

Ji Yi flipped through the game instructions.

It's important to know that Ji Yi's decision to allocate all points to speed was based on careful consideration. Among extreme point allocations, only pure speed allocation provides the highest hidden compensation value for other attributes.

"But considering the restrictions of my profession, shouldn't I act more normal this time?"

"Let me think about it. Card classes don't suit my speed synergy very well, so I'll choose an assassin-type class. With skill synergy and extra bonuses, it can help me with my full speed build."

This should be considered the most suitable choice, right?

But while it may be suitable, in the later stages, it doesn't seem to differentiate itself much from other assassin-type professions.

Ji Yi was at a loss for words.

Just as he was racking his brains, the Eye of Data suddenly lit up.
【Hey, why don't you flip over and check out the hidden classes on the next page?】 "?"

Ji Yi was taken aback at first, then tentatively slid her finger horizontally across the panel.

A new career path has appeared before me.

"?"

But that’s not right!
He had tried before, but there was no second page!

[If you remember correctly, when you first entered the game, there wasn't a second page, but for you now, there is.]

"why?"

Ji Yi had barely voiced her question when she quickly understood.

The answer is "unlocking conditions".

Ji Yi now possesses the necessary skills to unlock some hidden professions because his soul contains "dungeon experience," making him no longer a novice.

Ultimately, the demon's wish is just one part of the game. Looking back at the past is also part of the game.

So, while Ji Yi appears to have returned to the past, she is actually still in a small instance within this game. It's not the same as real time travel, so some things that can be preserved will still be preserved, such as game completion records, experience points, soul strength, and so on.

"That's good. It seems I don't need to choose those ordinary professions."

Although ordinary professions can also be upgraded to rare, hidden, or unique professions through job changes, the potential for advancement is quite high.

However, since it's a profession with a very high ceiling but a stable floor, Ji Yi had no reason to refuse it.

So Ji Yi started studying this page directly.

The first profession is [Trainer].

[Details: Becoming A Luo's exclusive trainer allows for rapid improvement in early-game strength and resources through deception and trickery. The downside is a slightly lower potential for growth and a high risk of being negatively impacted. Currently, the elephant who has held the title of A Luo's trainer the longest has already suffered a backlash.]

[Job Unlock Condition: Unlocked in "Mysterious Gym"]

Unlike last time when she became a trainer in a daze, this time Ji Yi could understand it much more clearly from the game's instructions.

"Old nemesis, I heard A-Luo has even left the weird gym."

Ji Yi would definitely not consider this profession; neither its advantages nor disadvantages are enough to catch her eye.

Keep looking down.

The second is the [Spiritual Master].

[Details: This class can manipulate objects and attack with telekinesis. It excels in mental defense and offense. This class is extremely rare, and almost no player can meet the learning requirements. The growth path is also relatively demanding, but the potential is extremely high.]

[Job Unlock Requirements: Spirit Power ≥ 100]

"From this perspective, it's unlikely that any player can become a psychic, which, as a second profession, allows them to exploit a significant information gap."

"But I always feel that it's not right for me."

Keep looking down.

Occupations: [Friend of Ghost Stories], [Clown], [Playwright], [Strategist], [Follower of Ancient Gods], [Gambler].
Based on Ji Yi's experiences in dungeons during this period, he also unlocked many strange and rare hidden professions.

Each one seemed to have its own advantages, but Ji Yi felt that each one was lacking.

I feel like I've gained something, but it's still not enough. There are still imperfections, and each has its own limitations to some extent.

"Damn, this is tough."

Ji Yi looked at the panel and was at a loss.

"By the way, will there be a third page?"

Thinking about it, Ji Yi tried to turn the page again.

And then it worked.

One profession simply lay quietly on the third page of the list, occupying its own column.

For some reason, this profession is grayed out, indicating that the unlock conditions have not been met.

Occupation: Successor of the Evil God

[Details: A candidate to succeed the evil god.]

[Job Unlock Condition 1: Possess an "Invitation from an Evil God"] (Completed)
[Second condition for unlocking the profession: Gain the approval of the evil god] (Incomplete)
"hiss"

Looking at this profession, Ji Yi felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

Everything began with an evil god, and everything will likely end with an evil god as well.

But what exactly is an "evil god"?
The details were only briefly mentioned, and Data Eye also began to play dead at this point.

If the god of deception is in charge of lies and enjoys deceiving people for amusement, then does the evil god mean the collection of all kinds of bad things?

What kind of legitimate god could this be?

Even if Ji Yi becomes the successor of the evil god, he will not fall into the demonic path to survive and become a "bad god".

Moreover, the misfortunes of Ji Yi's mother and the family can all be attributed to the evil god.

"Heh, what bullshit evil god, what bullshit divine choice, I don't care who wants to be it!"

Ji Yi raised her hand, preparing to flip the interface back to the second page.

But at this moment.

[Second condition for unlocking a new class: Gain the approval of an evil god] (Completed)
You have unlocked the class "Successor of the Evil God"

Ji Yi: "?"

You have already bound yourself to the class "Successor of the Evil God".

Your subsequent attribute point allocations will not affect your class status.

"No way. You fucking... So you only acknowledge me after I insulted you? You evil god, are you a masochist?!"

No one answered; the data eye remained silent.

Come to think of it, the Data Eye didn't remind him to turn to page three; was that also because of the evil god?
Never mind, things have come to this point, and it's no longer something Ji Yi can control.

He can only hope that this thing won't make him change his original intentions or go astray; otherwise, he would rather die.

"In that case, let's just add the points as before."

Ignoring profession, this is the way to allocate points that provides the highest boost to strength, bar none.

[Add points to complete]

[Occupation: Successor to the Evil God]

[Entering the instance]

[Instance Name: Siege of the Beasts]

[Number of Players: Solo]

Mission Objectives:

"They even remembered this detail. Is the dungeon not random but predetermined? Or is the system deliberately messing with me during the beginner phase?"

"If that's the case, can I still be matched with Miss Cat and the others?"

Hmm. This is a question worth exploring and verifying.

"I'll try to replicate the previous steps as much as possible, and also test the system and treasure chest rewards to see if it's a pseudo-random mode."

After some thought, Ji Yi entered the familiar "newbie dungeon" that belonged to him.

At this moment, Ji Yi stood on the rooftop of a tall building, with ruins and rubble visible everywhere in the distance, a mixture of blood and steel.

"It's tragic, isn't it? Like hell on earth."

Just then, a middle-aged man next to Ji Yi spoke up.
