After switching jobs to Navelette, the school beauty turns out to be Funina!

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the stone tablet.

Jiang Chen felt his consciousness being pulled into a deep, vast ocean.

In the deepest part of this ocean, a pair of vertical pupils are silently watching him.

That was a dragon.

It is neither a winged lizard nor a traditional Eastern dragon, but a more primitive and pure aggregate of elements.

It is weeping, and it is also judging.

[Host's soul traits have been detected to match the ancient dragon's powers...]

[Genshin Impact template system is being activated...]

[Loading the Water Dragon King Navilette template...]

[Loading successful!]

[Due to global rules, job titles have been disguised.]

Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

At that moment, a vertical purple light seemed to flash deep within his pupils.

The light on the stone tablet flickered a few times before finally settling on a line of text that looked fairly decent.

Name: Jiang Chen

Job change successful!

[Rare Class: Water-type Mutant - Pressure Judge]

[Professional Rating: A]

The rain stopped and the dark clouds dispersed.

Everyone who was hoping for another SSS-rank was relieved when they saw the word "A-rank," but then felt a wave of disappointment.

"Sigh, I knew it. SSS-class is nothing special. A-class is not bad either, but it's nothing compared to Xia, the school beauty."

"A water-type mutant? That sounds like a branch of mages, probably just a bit stronger than a regular water mage."

"What a pity. I thought they were a perfect couple, but now it seems there's quite a difference."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Jiang Chen walked off the stage expressionlessly.

Only he himself could see that beneath that A-grade panel, there was a line of true attributes emitting a pale golden light.

[True Profession: Complete Dragon - Holder of the Ancient Dragon's Power (Unique)]

[Professional Rating: Incalculable]

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Grade A?

That's just because I didn't want to scare you to death.

He returned to the group, and before he could even stand still, a fragrant breeze wafted towards him.

Ignoring the many eyes watching them, Xia Qingyu moved closer to him, her voice tinged with worry.

"Jiang Chen, are you alright? That profession..."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Jiang Chen rubbed her head, the feel of his hand was as good as ever.

"Rank A mage, from now on you'll be the carry, and I'll be the accessory. I'll live off you without any shame."

Xia Qingyu glared at him

"What pendant! You are you! And... and that rain just now felt really strange to me."

She lowered her voice and whispered in Jiang Chen's ear

"My professional instincts told me that there was something in that rain that made me want to... kneel down."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

It seems that Vilet's status as the Water Dragon King is even more impressive than I imagined.

Even the representative of the Divine Throne felt the suppression of his bloodline?

Just then, an untimely, hoarse voice interrupted.

"Xia! I'm a headhunter from the Tyranny Guild, and we sincerely invite you to join us! If you sign a contract, you'll immediately receive a downtown villa, a starting annual salary of 50 million, and a choice of legendary equipment!"

A middle-aged man in a suit with a beer belly squeezed through with a big smile, completely ignoring Jiang Chen next to him. His eyes were so eager that he wanted to worship Xia Qingyu on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight more powerful figures surrounded them.

"Miss Xia, take a look at our Divine Realm Guild! We have national backing!"

"Qingyu, have you heard of the special admissions offices of universities in the capital?"

Jiang Chen was so jostled by the group that he almost lost his footing and was pushed out of the circle.

The beer-bellied man glanced back at Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with three parts contempt and seven parts disdain.

"Excuse me, student, please move aside. Don't block our conversation with the future god-level powerhouse. While an A-rank profession is good, it's not from the same world as Miss Xia. You should know your place."

The air suddenly went silent for a second.

Xia Qingyu's smile vanished instantly.

Her previously polite expression was now as cold as ice.

She ignored the business cards being handed to her, pushed through the crowd, walked to Jiang Chen's side, and took his arm.

"Excuse me, everyone."

The girl's voice was clear and firm, echoing in everyone's ears.

"He and I are tied together. Want to sign me? Sure. But you have to bring him along, and he has to be treated the same as me."

The beer-bellied man froze, as if he'd heard a joke.

"Miss Xia, are you kidding me? He's A-rank, and you're SSS-rank. This... is a waste of resources! He's just an ordinary mage; taking him along is like taking on a burden!"

A burden?

Jiang Chen looked at the beer belly with a strange expression.

He opened his attribute panel, looked at the skill description, and couldn't help but mentally complain.

With this one skill of mine, not only will your burdens be gone, but it will be questionable whether your guild's base can even be preserved.

The situation became quite awkward at that moment.

No one expected that this prodigy who had just awakened a god-level profession would actually be a love-obsessed person.

The beer-bellied man looked displeased and earnestly advised...

"Miss Xia, I understand the feelings of young people, but reality is cruel. He is a water mage, a class that doesn't deal damage in the early game and doesn't have a burst of power in the late game; he's basically just someone who can give people a bath and water their flowers."

"Once he enters the Abyss dungeon, he'll struggle to even protect himself. Are you expecting to fight monsters and protect him at the same time?"

The students around them also began to whisper among themselves.

"Yeah, Jiang Chen is really lucky to have the school beauty protecting him like this."

"If I had an SSS-level childhood friend, I'd be happy to just give up."

"To live off a woman's money and still insist on it—a model for us all."

Jiang Chen almost burst out laughing when he heard these words.

Taking a bath? Watering the plants?

Good heavens, if they knew how the Water Dragon King waters the flowers, these guys would probably wet themselves in fear.

He patted Xia Qingyu's hand, which was linked with his, signaling her to calm down, then looked at his beer belly and spoke calmly.

"Sir, are you saying that because I'm a water mage, I can't deal any damage and can only be a burden?"

Beer Belly sneered

"Isn't that right? Everyone knows that fire magic is the strongest among mages, lightning magic is the fastest, and water magic? That's just a half-baked support."

"Okay." Jiang Chen wasn't angry; he just said calmly.

"How about this? The newbie trial dungeon is about to open, so let's let the data speak for itself. If I lose, I won't hinder Xia Qingyu's future; if I don't drag her down..."

He paused, his eyes sharp as knives.

"You'd better take back what you just said."

Beer Belly felt a chill run down his spine under Jiang Chen's gaze, but then he thought, why would a headhunter from a major guild be afraid of a mere upstart?

"Fine! You said it yourself! I'll be waiting at the dungeon exit, let's see how you get chased by monsters!"
