CHAPTER TEXT:
Young Master Yun looked down and saw two items in his hand: a bottle of potion and a profession scroll.
“Boss…”
Young Master Yun felt a surge of emotion. It had been a long time since he felt this way. The last time he was deeply moved was before the apocalypse when he witnessed a man hold a wedding in a hospital with his girlfriend suffering from cancer, that night, the couple committed suicide together.
He understood that the boss needed his help, which is why he was given these items: a bottle of two-star evolution elixir and a profession scroll.
But does needing help always mean you will receive such things?
Having been a boss himself during the apocalypse, Young Master Yun knew that sometimes, mere cannon fodder would suffice, and there was no need to give cannon fodder any of this.
Especially today. Although Young Master Yun didn’t know what his boss ultimately planned to do, he understood that what his boss would gain in the end might not be worth more than these two items in his hands.
The boss did not see him as cannon fodder; the boss genuinely wanted to cultivate him.
This thought moved Young Master Yun, especially in this apocalypse where even one’s own father could be betrayed. Such trust was rare and precious.
He was well aware that Ye Zhongming did not have a two-star evolution elixir; this bottle must have been obtained from the magic crystal he had fought hard to collect, which required killing dozens of second-level mutated life forms, a danger Young Master Yun knew all too well.
Young Master Yun’s father and Uncle Jia looked at these two items and recognized their precious value. They felt sincerely gratified that Young Master Yun had found such a boss.
Indeed, it might require his son to fight hard, but who in the apocalypse isn't fighting hard? Sometimes, even if one is fighting hard, they need the qualification to fight hard!
“Only by learning can you help me. So go ahead and learn,” Ye Zhongming said, patting Young Master Yun on the shoulder.
Young Master Yun took a deep breath and injected the evolution elixir.
His body made a slight sound, and he felt a tearing pain in his skin and bones, but it vanished after a moment, leaving only a sensation of power filling him.
Two-star!
Previously, in order to become a professional, Young Master Yun and his team chose to temporarily give up on advancing to higher levels of evolution. Unexpectedly, he had become a two-star evolver so quickly.
Next, Young Master Yun studied the profession scroll and gained the profession—fraudulent shapeshifter.
This profession was obtained by Ye Zhongming from Elder Yuan of the peaceful kingdom, which Young Master Yun and Shasha had seen before.
Fraudulent shapeshifter, a profession with a prefix, much like Ye Zhongming's glorious artisan and radiant seal blade master, should be a very powerful profession.
However, in reality, this was a profession that almost no one wanted to learn.
Perhaps Elder Yuan was secretly laughing at Ye Zhongming's misfortune.
As the name suggests, the fraudulent shapeshifter is a skill that allows its wielder to transform. However, after transforming, they would resemble the transformed species in appearance, aura, actions, and even gaze, with no difference whatsoever, but they would lack the corresponding strength.
As a two-star evolver, Young Master Yun learned this profession, but its only skill was transformation. Once used, he would transform into a fourth-level mutated life form that was two ranks higher than him, possessing an identical appearance without the corresponding fourth-level power, and even his two-star strength would temporarily vanish, turning him into a completely empty shell.
When a professional reaches three-star level, using this transformation technique would allow them to transform into a fifth-level mutated life form, and so forth. When they reach seven-star, they could transform into a ninth-level mutated life form.
The species of the first transformation at each stage is random, and subsequent uses will be fixed to the first transformed species. When activating the skill later, it will still be the species from the first transformation.
