Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 10 - Wear Your Green Hat Well



Chapter 10: Wear Your Green Hat Well

Lin Feng was almost stunned. The disappearance of His Majesty the Emperor was also related to the Qin family!???

The Shenlong Empire’s Emperor, Ying Qi, was the third emperor of the Empire. He was wise and powerful, with unmatched strength, a Level 99 SSS-class Dragon Vein user, standing tall in the human world!

Throughout the Empire, he held the highest prestige and was a spiritual symbol in the hearts of all citizens. Twenty years ago, the Emperor led the Imperial Guards in a campaign against the Void.

The campaign was initially very successful, with outstanding achievements, killing over a dozen Void Lords. However, the entire Imperial Guards was annihilated, and His Majesty mysteriously disappeared.

At that moment, it was as if the sky had fallen for the Empire; the people were terrified, and even other nations began to eye the Empire covetously! 

It was the most critical moment since the Empire’s founding!

Fortunately, Lord Lu Ji rose to the occasion, serving as Regent, balancing the major forces and stabilizing the situation. To this day, the Emperor’s disappearance remains a sore point for the Empire.

Gradually, however, the Empire began to get used to life without the Emperor. But Lin Feng never imagined that the Emperor’s disappearance was also a conspiracy!?

Lin Yu quietly watched his adoptive son and said solemnly, “That’s my past, Xiaofeng. Although I adopted you, we have no blood relation. You also understand how terrifying the enemies I face are.”

“If you’re afraid, you can sever ties with me now. There’s still time.”

Lin Feng felt as if he were being swept into a massive vortex filled with intrigue and danger. The enemy was the gigantic Qin family in the Imperial Capital. Yet he felt no fear. Instead, he felt a faint excitement and thrill!

Seeing the determination in Lin Feng’s eyes, Lin Yu smiled. He knew Lin Feng’s character well enough to be sure he wouldn’t back down.

He nodded, saying calmly, “I didn’t want to drag you into this, but your job change failed, and you became an SS-level Non-Specialist. It seems to be fate.”

At this, Lin Feng felt very depressed: “What’s special about an SS-level Non-Specialist?”

Lin Yu smiled slightly, and a hexagram crystal suddenly appeared in his hand, emitting a strange purple light that was unsettling. The purple light seemed to captivate people, making it hard to resist its allure.

Within the crystal, there appeared to be an energy capable of destroying the world!

[Arcane Source: Legendary item, originating from the Void, wielding the power of the Void, ???].

“The Arcane Source is a legendary item that can only be worn by professions above S-level, but the Arcane Source originates from the Void, which human professions are inherently opposed to.”

“You are different. Your career change failed, making you an SS-level Non-Specialist, which, due to the lack of professional traits, allows you to wear the Arcane Source and use its power!”

“With the Arcane Source, you can venture deep into the Void and search for His Majesty the Emperor!”

Lin Feng hadn’t expected that his career change failure would turn out to be a blessing in disguise!

Could he really be the child of destiny!?

At this moment, a powerful sense of confidence filled Lin Feng’s chest, making him feel immensely powerful. Even though the enemy was the Qin family of the Imperial Capital, Lin Feng felt neither nervous nor fearful.

He only needed some time. Once he developed his abilities and found His Majesty, the Emperor. The Qin family would be nothing but a paper tiger!

Lin Yu handed the Arcane Source to Lin Feng: “Study the Arcane Source first. I have some matters to investigate….”

As a former Imperial Major General who had evaded the Qin family’s pursuit for years, his counter-surveillance skills were exceptional, and he was very alert to any disturbances.

When Lin Feng mentioned the spiritual powered plane earlier, he sensed something amiss and grew more cautious.

He needed to investigate further…

After Lin Yu left, Lin Feng took the Arcane Source and closed his eyes tightly to sense its power. After an indeterminate amount of time, Lin Feng opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.

This Arcane Source… it’s truly extraordinary!

After wearing the Arcane Source, Lin Feng found that his five attributes increased by 50%, a passive effect of the Arcane Source.

[Power of the Arcane Source: Increases the cap for all attribute points.].

Because Lin Feng was at a low level and his five attributes were not high, a 50% increase didn’t seem much. But as his level increased, this effect would become incredibly powerful, boosting his combat strength by 50%, growing more potent with each level!

In addition, Lin Feng gained two new skills.

[Summon Tide Insect: Summons two Level 10 Void Tide Insects. This skill can be upgraded.].

[Void Mark: Marks an area, and the inhabitants of the Void will tear through space, appearing here to fight for you!].

Unfortunately, as Lin Yu mentioned, being an SS-level Non-Specialist meant Lin Feng could barely wear the Arcane Source. Many skills and traits couldn’t be unlocked or used.

After all, it’s a treasure from the Void….

Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly, feeling his body brimming with strength.

“That bastard….” A trace of coldness flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. Although he gained an unexpected advantage from his job change failure by using the Arcane Source, he still harbored hatred for the person who disrupted the ceremony!

Previously, he felt he had no grounds for confidence after his job change failure. Now that he possessed the Arcane Source, no matter who the opponent was, he would seek revenge! He would destroy him!

A confident smile spread across Lin Feng’s face as he glanced at the photo of himself and Su Keqing on his bedside, his heart stirred.

It was already past 10 PM.

He wondered how Su Keqing was doing and if her social engagement had ended. Now that he had the Arcane Source, he was capable of protecting Su Keqing!

He wanted to tell Su Keqing that from now on, no one could force her to do anything she didn’t want to do!

Lin Feng dialed Su Keqing’s number, but after waiting a long time, no one answered. Lin Feng’s heart sank as for some reason, he suddenly felt extremely uneasy! He called several more times in succession, but no one picked up.

What was going on!?

Lin Feng stood up with a start, his mind in turmoil. Previously, when he called Su Keqing, she would always answer immediately!

Could she have forgotten her phone? Or maybe she didn’t notice? Or perhaps… something happened?

Thinking of this, Lin Feng’s previous joy vanished, leaving only worry and agitation. He kept dialing, making more than a dozen calls!

Finally, the call connected.

“Sister Keqing, what happened? Why didn’t you answer earlier?!” Lin Feng asked urgently.

The other end of the line was silent for a moment before Su Keqing’s voice came through, but her voice sounded a bit strange.

“Uh… uh… I… I was busy earlier, so I didn’t… uh-huh… didn’t see, Xiaofeng….”
