Virus King [Translation]

[Whiplash of the Skies]: "@White Emperor, my knees and heart will forever bloom for you!"

[Ruby]: "Gross! That should be me saying that! @White Emperor! Boss, when are you coming to whip your #1 slave of yours? I'm in Majati, not far from De M-anila! Please take me!"

[Overlord]: "This is terrifying! What on Kepler is that instant recovery skill!?"

[Crow]: "Are all the bosses in the secret realm this strong? This is just a level 8 boss! How overpowered! Judging by our current stats, even if we reach level 10, we still won't be able to take it down!"

[I'm Really Not a Sword Fairy]: "People are just built differently, I guess. This kind of boss… I'm afraid we'll only be able to challenge it after we reach level 10 and complete our job changes!"

[Truth Teller]: "If the monsters in the secret realm are all this tough, we might as well give up and sleep before changing jobs!"

[Overlord]: "This is a nightmare-level dungeon. I just checked, and the secret realm dungeons are split into four levels: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell. Right now, this level is far beyond anything we can handle!"

[Crow]: "This doesn't make any sense! Could the gap between SS talent and SSS talent be this huge? I'm struggling just to handle ten zombies, and Brother White is like this!"

[Meimei]: "@Crow, you're overthinking it. Even some with SSS talent are struggling against two zombies right now. The gap could also be due to Boss White's overwhelming personal strength!"

[The Only Garbage in the Group]: "Catch that Dream Guy!"

[Dahen]: "@The Only Garbage in the Group, local tyrant, throw in some gold coins, this is getting intense!"

[…]

It was clear that no one in the group was concerned about the cost of a copper coin to view the dungeon video. 

But this time, Novak's video had almost immediately captured everyone's attention. Compared to other evolutionaries, the group had a much clearer understanding of Novak's power.

At this moment, however, Novak wasn't particularly interested in any of it. 

In fact, everything happening was entirely within his expectations. 

His full attention was focused on the contents of the loot he had just organised. 

The rewards for being the first to clear a secret realm were beyond imagination.

For starters, the 100 gold coins alone were an astronomical amount for most evolutionaries at this stage!

Still, Novak wasn't too concerned about the gold coins, either in the past or the present.

Compared to currency, which would inevitably depreciate over time, what mattered most was the loot dropped by the dungeon boss.

And as expected, the first item left Novak momentarily stunned.

It was a scroll.

At first glance, it looked similar to the dual-job transfer scroll Zogwort had once shown him.

In fact, it was almost identical because this scroll also dealt with a career change!

[Biochemical Demon Job Transfer Scroll (A-Grade)]

[Unique]

[Absorb other life forms to enhance this dark profession. Use special methods to stimulate your cells and strength. A unique profession with remarkable resilience! However, absorbing too much can cause genetic instability, leading to unknown consequences.]

[Job Transfer Requirements: Evolutionary Level 10! Constitution > 15!]

A job transfer scroll!

And not just any scroll—it was an A-grade one!

Moreover, this was the only A-grade job in existence, standing on par with S-grade professions!

Back in his previous life, when the second generation of evolutionaries had matured, an item like this would have sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins with no problem!

Of course, it was quite different from the 'Thunderwalker' job transfer scroll Zogwort had sold.

But that was to be expected—the Biochemical Demon couldn't compare to the Thunderwalker, even in theory.

After all, Thunderwalkers controlled a terrifying elemental force like lightning, a profession inherently more powerful than most.

Even among other S-grade professions, Thunderwalker had few equals.

Back in the day, Novak's own Demon Hunter class wasn't on par with it!

The value and potential of Thunderwalker were worlds apart.

The one million gold coins Zogwort had charged, along with an S-grade certificate, was actually quite reasonable!

Of course, even if Novak were to put this Biochemical Demon scroll up for auction, no one could afford it.

But for Novak, it was unthinkable to change to a mere A-grade profession.

Even if, by some chance, this profession could evolve further into something extraordinary, Novak had no interest in gambling on it.

After tossing the scroll into his backpack, Novak continued rummaging through the loot and picked up a piece of flesh about the size of his palm.

[Gene Essence (Grade C)]

[Item — Pharmaceuticals]

[Description: This essence, extracted from a perfect genetic organism, contains unfathomable power. Upon consumption, it will result in a dramatic enhancement to one's Constitution. Each evolutionary can only consume a limited amount of this essence.]

[Effect: Permanently increases Strength by +2, Constitution by +6, and Agility by +3]

Novak's eyes lit up. Now, this was a treasure worth having.

Any item that could permanently boost attributes was already considered rare and valuable. But one that could increase stats with no negative side effects? That was a true gem.

A total of eleven points spread across critical attributes—while not a game-changer for someone like Novak, for the average evolutionary, this would be the equivalent of gaining the free attribute points from five full levels before even changing professions.

In other words, an ordinary evolutionary could suddenly become a force to be reckoned with, capable of easily mowing down hordes of low-level zombies.

Without hesitation, Novak consumed the Gene Essence in one swift gulp.

A warm current instantly surged from his stomach, rapidly coursing through his body. The sensation was so comfortable that Novak almost let out a groan of satisfaction.

But this was just the beginning of the rewards from the nightmare-level dungeon.

He reached into his backpack again.

This time, he pulled out a piece of equipment.

Novak wasn't usually impressed by gear unless it was S-grade or higher, or had the ability to grow in power. Most items weren't even worth his attention.

However, this particular piece was different.

[Faceless Skin (Grade D)]

[Armor — Special Class]

[Description: This armor, crafted from human genetic material, offers excellent defense while being refreshingly breathable and flexible. It also alleviates muscle tension and promotes skin relaxation.]

[Attributes: Agility +10, Constitution +10, Defense +10]

[Body Shaping: Prolonged wear will mold your body into its optimal form. Effects vary for men and women.]

[Dynamic Skin: Allows the wearer to change the color and shape of any part of their appearance at will.]

[Equipment Requirement: Evolver ≥ Level 5]

[Note: This armor acts like a second skin. However, for men with 'exceptional talents,' it may cause some discomfort. For women, it may be their new best friend...]

Novak's eyelids twitched as he read the description.

Why would a boss like the Biochemical Demon drop something so... unusual?

It could change color? It could 'transform'?

With this kind of functionality, wasn't it capable of turning into anything? White silk, red silk, black silk, even rainbow silk... 

Fishing nets, lace, one-pieces, suspender dresses, full-body suits—any style or material imaginable could be realized with this equipment.

Novak sighed, shaking his head slightly. "What a bizarre piece of gear..."
