This bug is amazing!

Chapter 244 Second Profession (Part 2)

"I was naive before, but now I can only say it's alright."

As Ji Yi spoke, she turned to look at the middle-aged man.

【Name: Zhong Lin】

[Danger Level: Medium]

[Rank: Level 7 Martial Artist]

[Combat Power Rating: S-]

[Introduction: The Vice Minister of the South China Branch of the Dongxia Martial Arts Alliance, having discovered a way to summon travelers from another world, seeks a solution to the alien beast crisis and is willing to pay any price for it.]

"What do you mean? Otherworldly being, have you ever seen a more miserable place than this?"

Zhong Lin asked, puzzled.

"The necessary procedures do need to be followed, but to be honest, I'm in a bit of a rush."

Ji Yi scratched his head and then took a deep breath.

Zhong Lin was filled with questions and was about to say something when Ji Yi's voice came like a machine gun:
"The place you are in is just a world created by an author, a common 'high-martial arts novel' setting. This author is an abandoned writer, and your story will never have an ending."

"And because of the author's divine intervention, you are unaware of the contradictions in the worldview."

"In Chapter 79 of the book you are currently reading, there is a clear description of a strange beast eating animal meat. This is a core contradiction in your tragic worldview—since the strange beast disappears after it is full, and it is not picky about the type of meat, why don't you feed it animal meat?"

"You don't realize it not because you're stupid, but because the author made a mistake in the setting and overlooked this feasible method."

"In a technologically advanced martial arts world, producing hormone-injected meat is incredibly easy. You've completely misunderstood the method of hard work."

After Ji Yi finished speaking, he recounted the specific strategies he had mentioned last time in a very similar manner.

Then, to Zhong Lin's astonishment, Ji Yi stepped forward and pulled out the vial of [Compound V (Permanent Type)] from his pocket.

"I've already given you the solution. As for whether your memories and consciousness will be erased by fate, that's none of my business. Also, I'll accept this vial of medicine as payment."

Congratulations to the player for clearing the Hell-level solo dungeon: Siege of the Beasts!

[The world-building has been unlocked; additional rewards will be granted.]

[Rewards are being processed.]

Your level has been increased.

Current Level: LV.10

[Gained Game Currency: .]

"Hiss, this world-building is so boring. It's all thanks to Haki's eyes. There's no sense of accomplishment at all."

Indeed, Ji Yi's deciphering of the worldview of "High Martial Arts Crisis" was not based on his own reasoning and analysis in a short period of time.

As for this world-building setting, it is also closely related to the way to clear the game.

The normal progression is that the protagonist in the book uses a cheat code to level up rapidly in a short time, allowing him to become a level 10 martial artist and solve the monster problem – it's still the same old story of dominating the ages.

Although Ji Yi managed to bypass the bug by using a trick, he still relied on the Eye of Data to crack the worldview.

"I accidentally gave a higher score, and the result is quite different from last time. I don't know if it will affect my subsequent matchmaking."

After pondering for a moment, Ji Yi checked the rewards.

Due to its exceptionally high rating and the deciphering of the world's lore, the reward this time is the [Ultimate Surprise Gift Box], guaranteeing a perfect score and the highest possible Mythic item.

"open!"

A piece of armor of perfect quality appeared before my eyes.

"Damn, I knew it. My bad luck will never change."

Ji Yi didn't take it to heart. After all, it was a virtual second life, so there was nothing to be frustrated about.

After claiming the rewards, Ji Yi estimated the time in her mind and clicked "Enter Dungeon" again.

If we follow the timeline from last time, he should still enter the "Island Ghost Stories" this time, since there aren't many variables. Last time, he even joined the instance midway through.

Given Ji Yi's bad luck, she'll probably turn this difficult situation into a nightmare again.

But this time, the timeline has changed.

[Entering the instance]

[Instance Name: Crimson Moon Contamination]

[Number of Players: Solo]

"Hiss, looks like I won't be able to run into Miss Cat."

Small variables can lead to drastically different results, and this outcome is predictable.

Nineteen days later.

Congratulations to the player for clearing the Hell difficulty solo dungeon: Crimson Moon Contamination!

Current Level: LV.12

"Good job, Hagi Eye! I almost died without you. That awful place was practically a lair for ancient god servants!"

Ji Yi said with lingering fear.

Then, they opened the rewards one by one very efficiently.

"Since we can't go back to reality, it's time to consider putting into practice the plan I've been working on."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to return to the past, Ji Yi already had a bold idea.

That means joining the Headhunter Alliance, obtaining a list of its members, and then using that information to do something practical.

Although minor shifts in the timeline may cause members of the Headhunter Alliance to deviate from reality, the overall changes are not significant enough to produce a so-called butterfly effect.

After some thought, Ji Yi made a bold idea.

He opened the forum directly and, in a non-anonymous state, showed off the mythical item he had just acquired, [Fragas's Finger].

In an instant, the forum was in turmoil, and the number of messages adding Ji Yi as a friend reached 999+ in just fifteen minutes.

The people who came were numerous and diverse, with various purposes.

Someone offered a staggering 100 billion in cash to buy it, but Ji Yi scoffed at it: "That's nothing, you'd beggars for that amount. 100 billion in game coins would be more like it."

Some people are simply shameless, wanting to be friends with a big shot; some kindly remind them not to flaunt their wealth or risk being eliminated; while others don't even bother with pretense and come straight up with threats.

What's even more interesting is that [Drunkenly Holding a Lonely Goose] also arrived immediately, opened Ji Yi's box in a flash, and said he would go offline to protect him.

However, none of these are what Ji Yi wants.

He directly added 【Not allowed today LV.17】.

Ji Yi: "I want to join the organization, and this [Fragas's Finger] can serve as my pledge of allegiance."

[Specifically not allowed]: "?"

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen someone so desperately trying to be a bad guy.

Giving away mythical items like that, what kind of tycoon is that?

And so, in this timeline, Ji Yi successfully joined the Headhunter Alliance.

The official game department also established a corresponding organization, but this news did not spread widely among players.

Then, before entering the next instance, Ji Yi encountered a version update.

During this time, he was unable to enter dungeons or return to reality, and could only spend two weeks in the game space feeling utterly bored.

During this period, he began to gradually learn about the members of the First Alliance and how it operated.

Then, he discovered a very serious problem.

The Mask of the Faceless One has completely wiped out the Headhunter's boss, ensuring that this person will never exist again, neither in the past nor in the future.

Therefore, even if Ji Yi had transmigrated, this leader would still be a non-existent person.

This directly leads to a problem: the group is leaderless, there are disagreements among the higher-ups, and it could fall apart at any time.

The same thing would have probably happened in the original timeline, but the process was clearly much faster. Soon, the two-week repair period was over.

Ji Yi began running dungeons intensively, and she was doing so with the high-ranking members of the Headhunter Alliance.

He then demonstrated his amazing abilities, shocking the senior management.

Because Ji Yi didn't consider practical matters at all, he had no leverage over them and rose rapidly through the ranks, becoming one of the top executives of the Headhunter Alliance within a month, on equal footing with them.

Then, with her overwhelming ability, Ji Yi reunited the Headhunter Alliance and even deepened the reform of its organizational structure, allowing the organization to continue to grow stronger.

During this period, the most troublesome thing was Zui Wan Gu Hong, but there was nothing he could do about Ji Yi.

Just like Ji Yi's identity as the "Successor of the Evil God," he committed countless evil deeds on this timeline, becoming a truly misguided person.

By recruiting the strong and suppressing the normal players, the Headhunter Alliance is at its zenith.

Since he didn't need to return to reality, Ji Yi had a lot of free time. During his free time, he learned about the backgrounds of almost all the top players.

After they got out, Ji Yi carefully investigated who was useful, who wasn't, who was worth befriending, and who should be killed as soon as possible.

"Judging by the days, Miss Xie should have created an account by now, right?"

Ji Yi searched for "doesn't eat cilantro", but found no such person.

There are two possibilities. One is that Ji Yi did not have any interaction with Xie Jiayi, which led to her having a different state of mind when choosing a name in this timeline, and thus not choosing the same name.

The second possibility is that Xie Jiayi had an accident and was unable to become a player.

Fortunately, this timeline is not real, so Ji Yi doesn't need to worry about it too much.

As the Headhunter Alliance continues to develop, and Ji Yi has a comprehensive grasp of player information.

Ji Yi quickly shifted his focus to developing a second class in the game, and his understanding of [Successor of the Evil God] became increasingly profound.

Coupled with intense dungeon runs and the unique advantage of the "Data Eye" cheat, Ji Yi finally broke Zui Wan Gu Hong's record and became the fastest person in history to reach level 20.

"Finally level 20."

Inside the game space, Ji Yi looked at his backpack full of legendary and mythical equipment, as well as various powerful evil god pathway skills.

At this moment, his strength is even greater than before he transmigrated. Even Zui Wan Gu Hong, who has changed his class, is no longer his match.

"Judging by the time, I should go back. These past few months have felt like a dream; I've actually become the villain for all the players."

Looking at her hands, Ji Yi sighed deeply.

"Then before I go back, let me quickly finish the last, most important thing I need to do."

Job change quest.

At the crucial level 20, he undergoes his first job change. If successful, he will create a significant gap between himself and all other players, and his strength will approach that of an S-rank player.

Even if the top ten players in terms of combat power ganged up on him at the same time, Ji Yi could wipe them all out.

To achieve all of these, one needs a profession, skills, equipment, and bugged card attributes—all of which are indispensable, and Ji Yi possesses them all.

"It would be good to go through the job change path in advance and find out the situation. The job change path of the evil god should not be so easy."

With that thought in mind, Ji Yi started the job change process.

[Entering the instance]

[Instance Name: Hidden Village]

[Number of Players: Solo]

[Mission Objective: Survive and unravel the mystery of the "disappearance"]

[Limited Time Offer: 14 Days]

[Difficulty: Hell]

As the system notification ended, the opening CG began to play in front of me.

That night, having run away from home, you walked dozens of kilometers and arrived at a village.

Strange things seem to be happening in the village. Every night, at least one person disappears without a trace. People have different explanations: some say it's because they've offended the gods, some say it's because they've encountered ghosts, and some believe it's human trafficking.

The solution to the problem is even more shocking: you know you can't escape, and you can't survive.

Perhaps, it would have been better if you hadn't run away from home that day.

At this point, the visuals and audio cease.

Ji Yi had not regained his ability to move; everything in front of him was still pitch black.

"What's going on? Is it stuck?"

I stood there stunned for a few seconds, but everything was still pitch black.

"Could it be that the time has come? That shouldn't be the case; there should still be ten days left."

As I pondered, the system notification sounded in my ear again:

[Ji Yi, you've achieved far more than you deserve, thanks to your own cleverness and the cheat code "Data Eye."]

"."

Isn't this slander? Why does the system even have swear words?
Luck, clever tricks, cheating, acting skills, and manipulating people's hearts—these are the methods you rely on to survive, making you number one among all players today.

But these are no longer available.

You are nothing at all; your insignificant strengths are pathetic and laughable.

"What grudge do you have, System?"

Besides, he can still recognize other things about him, but how did you come to the conclusion that he was lucky?
Now, I'm going to take everything away from you, reducing you to your most authentic, most ordinary self.

Will you be able to successfully complete the game?

Let's wait and see.

The system voice stopped, and light gradually appeared before my eyes.

It's nighttime now, and I'm on a country road with neat rows of streetlights lining both sides. Right next to the road is a small convenience store that stands out incongruously.

It was a very small shed, crammed full of goods. An old woman with a beaming smile sat among the crowded goods, looking at Ji Yi with a smile.

Ji Yi narrowed his eyes, subconsciously wanting to activate [Evil Phenomenon Rebirth].

[Attribute values ​​are locked]

All items are disabled.

All skills are disabled.

"I see, that's what it means."

In the special skills section, the invincible [Eye of Data] was also locked, and Ji Yi was now just an ordinary person.

"A pure puzzle-solving instance? It's been a long time since I've encountered one. I miss it a bit."

Previously, with the "Eye of Data," pure puzzle-solving dungeons were often no different from welfare games, and Ji Yi rarely had a chance to shine.

"Grandma, is there any village nearby?"

Ji Yi stepped forward and asked the old woman.

But the old woman kept smiling, staring at Ji Yi without saying a word, which made Ji Yi feel uneasy.

All around, the chirping of insects rose and fell in the grass.

"Grandma? Can you hear me?"

Ji Yi asked again.

But he still didn't receive a response. The night was both restless and quiet.

As Ji Yi looked at the old woman's crescent-shaped eyes, her fear grew stronger.

Fear, etc.?

Ji Yi was shocked to discover that not only had her mental strength returned to the level of an ordinary person, but her negative emotions had also returned!
