Chapter 124 Legendary Profession, Guardian of Time Prison! The identity of the first legendary employee...

Name: Zhou Ze

Current Class: Warrior (Normal)

[Potential: Legendary (Guardian of Time Prison)]

[Biography: Zhou Ze was born into the Guozhu family...]

Qin Fang blinked after glancing at the biography of the person.

Guozhu... a prominent family?

This Zhou Ze is actually from the Guozhu family?

He frowned, then looked on intently...

...

At the same time.

Shengjing.

The capital of Xia Kingdom.

The center of a country.

The Stargazing Hotel is located in the heart of this country where land is incredibly valuable.

This is the only seven-star luxury hotel in Shengjing. The overall architectural style is highly technological, with the classic 'twin towers' design, the twin towers almost piercing the sky.

Only by staying here for one night will you know what it means to spend money like water. The price of a single room is over a thousand gold coins... which would be enough to buy a villa in other cities.

Of course, the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, and the service is impeccable. Shengjing Hotel will thoughtfully provide you with any service you can imagine.

The building has a maximum of 199 floors, but each floor is over four meters high, making the entire building nearly 800 meters tall, which is currently the tallest building in the world.

The second one is right next to him... his twin towers.

It is because of this altitude that it was named 'Star-Picking' and 'Star-Gazing'.

This place is frequented by high-level professionals, business elites, and political figures.

It can be said to be the gathering place of the richest and most powerful people in the Xia Kingdom.

This place is bustling every night because it hosts numerous parties and receptions, frequented by true elites and powerful figures.

At this moment, a business banquet is being held on the 188th floor. The venue is brightly lit, and exquisite dishes from the dungeon are neatly arranged on tables covered with gold tablecloths after being cooked by professional chefs.

The lights were bright but not dazzling, and elegant and relaxing music played softly. Men and women dressed in various formal attire, with composed demeanor, chatted gracefully with those around them. The whole scene was lively but not noisy.

Zhou Ze, tall and slender, sat casually on a sofa in the corner, wearing a fitted black suit. He swirled the red wine in his glass and looked at the man and woman in front of him, but a sense of weariness arose in his heart.

...He didn't like this kind of scene.

But there's nothing we can do.

As a direct descendant of the Zhou family and a non-combatant... business social engagements are a task he must complete.

Since his grandfather became a pillar of the state, the Zhou family's influence has grown day by day. This influence is not only reflected in the political and military circles... but also in the business world.

He was just an ordinary soldier who had awakened to his true potential; his paths in politics and the military were blocked, so he could only shine in the business world.

His daily life can be described as extravagant and extremely luxurious.

But he didn't actually like this kind of conventional life.

He longed for battle even more.

Fight those monsters.

Fighting against alien races.

Unfortunately... he was just an awakened ordinary warrior.

Although it's a combat profession, this rank... is too low.

Even if they advance to the fourth or fifth rank, they are still just cannon fodder.

Moreover, it's almost impossible for ordinary professions to reach level four or higher.

His background meant that his family would never allow him to be cannon fodder.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take the trade route.

A person's profession... cannot be changed.

Thinking about these things, a wave of bitterness welled up in his heart again, and he downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

A sense of resentment welled up inside me.

On what grounds?

Why is it that, despite being from the same family of national pillars... my older brothers and sisters at least have excellent professions? Even my cousin from my uncle's family has an epic profession?

He's the only one with an ordinary profession!

Forget about inheriting my grandfather's legendary profession... even just being an outstanding one would be great.

At least I've followed the crowd and have the right to pursue my dream of fighting, haven't I?

But ironically, he has only an ordinary profession.

There's no way!

He pursed his lips tightly, closed his eyes, and felt dejected.

Just then, a phone rang.

He looked down at the caller ID; it was his personal secretary.

He let out a long breath, composed himself, and answered the call.

"What's up?"

"Young Master Ze, I just received some important news."

"What?" Zhou Ze's voice was calm, even somewhat lazy, showing no sign of being alerted by the word 'important'.

"Xu Jin from the Xu family has recently leveled up in a Tier 1 secret realm. Intelligence indicates that... his profession has changed."

The secretary's voice betrayed a hint of shock.

Zhou Ze didn't quite understand at first, and frowned: "What do you mean? What happened to Xu Jin?"

He certainly knew Xu Jin. As one of the best young members of the Xu family, he was born with an epic profession. As members of the same family, they naturally interacted in various situations when they were young.

They even attended the same school and were in the same grade when they were studying.

We wouldn't say we were particularly close, but we were at least nodding acquaintances.

However, with the awakening... they awakened an epic class, destined to receive special cultivation from the Xu family.

As he awakened to an ordinary profession, he naturally deviated from his core position in the family... Now he is in charge of the Zhou family's business affairs.

It's been a long time since we last contacted each other.

I heard that the other party joined the United Front Work Department and became the lowest-ranking 'colonel director'.

They are no longer in the same circle as this rising star in the business world.

Why would your secretary suddenly mention Xu Jin?

After a brief silence, the secretary took a deep breath and asked, "Young Master Ze, what was Xu Jin's original rank?"

Zhou Ze frowned: "Didn't I hear that you advanced to level 4 recently? The Xu family even held a banquet, and you were the one who sent me the invitation... Have you forgotten?"

"So! How did he get into the Tier 1 secret realm?!"

The secretary, unable to bear her young master's seemingly slow reaction time any longer, questioned him loudly.

Zhou Ze was visibly stunned for a moment, but then his eyes widened as he recalled the first words his secretary had said…

"You mean..."

"Yes, his profession changed! But after changing his profession, he fell from level 4 to level 1! This was something that the Wang family accidentally saw during his secret upgrade! The Wang family keenly sensed that something was wrong and investigated in secret, which was then discovered by others!"

Whoosh!

Zhou Ze suddenly stood up.

The movement was so large that it bumped into the table in front of him, causing the wine bottle to fall and shatter, immediately attracting the curious glances of those around him.

But Zhou Ze completely ignored him. His face was serious, and he said in a trembling voice, "Don't joke about this kind of thing with me, or else... I might beat you up!"

"Who would joke like that with you for no reason?! But my information isn't complete, since my people are mainly in the business world... To prevent any unforeseen circumstances... I suggest you double-check with Young Master Xuan or Miss Xuan. Their intelligence network is more reliable in this regard."

The secretary quickly replied.

"good!"

Without saying a word, Zhou Ze hung up the phone.

Just as he was about to make a call, he suddenly stopped because he noticed that everyone around him was looking at him curiously.

Without saying a word, he quickly left the party.

Everyone else at the party was a little confused by Zhou Ze's actions.

It took a long time...

"This... is he the young master of the Zhou family?"

"Yes, it's him."

"What happened? She looks shocked..."

Many people in the meeting room started to think creatively.

The Zhou family is one of the most powerful families in the world. What news could have shocked the young master of the Zhou family so much that he lost his composure?

Immediately, some people began to have ideas and made preparations to find out more.

...

Once in his luxury car, Zhou Ze couldn't wait to call his sister.

The call was answered shortly afterward.

"Xiao Ze?"

The girl's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

"Sister, what's going on with Xu Jin?"

Zhou Ze asked anxiously, getting straight to the point.

The other person was silent for a moment, then said gently, "It seems you've received the news too?"

"Hmm, what's going on? They say he changed his profession, is that true?" Zhou Ze asked impatiently.

After a brief silence, the older sister said, "It should be true, but the Xu family is keeping it very secret. We are still investigating... Don't worry, I know what you're thinking. The family is keeping a close eye on this matter."

At this point, her voice betrayed a hint of shock: "Changing careers... This is unheard of. The Xu family wants to keep it a secret, but they probably can't hide it for long. The news is already spreading, and several families have taken notice. More specific information... will probably be available in the next day or two."

Zhou Ze trembled all over, but for a moment he was speechless.

Change your career!

He dreams about it all the time!

I never expected that this would actually happen!

only……

"What rank is his new profession?"

He asked somewhat nervously.

"We don't know the specifics yet. But according to eyewitnesses from the Wang family... it's very powerful. And it should be an assassin-type. It's very likely... it's epic."

Is it still an epic?

Zhou Ze's expression shifted, a hint of worry in his eyes: "What if changing professions doesn't improve my rank..."

"...That's what my family was worried about, which is why they didn't tell you right away. But...no matter what, it's still a glimmer of hope. Let's wait for more concrete news before making any more specific decisions. There's no point in thinking about it now; it'll only add to our worries."

Even his sister wasn't sure, so this was the only way she could comfort Zhou Ze.

After a long silence, Zhou Ze finally said, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone with his sister, Zhou Ze looked out the window at the brightly lit city, but his fists gradually clenched.

Don't give him hope only to disappoint him!

It must be, it must be, not an ordinary profession.

He dared not dream of an epic... Even just being an outstanding member of a prominent family, following the crowd, would be enough for him!

Zhou Ze's mind was in turmoil as he drove home.

...

"Is he the least talented person in the Guozhu family?"

Qin Fang also finished reading about Zhou Ze's life, his brows furrowed.

"I crave battle, I crave to become stronger..."

"He seems to have a pretty good personality."

"But... the Guozhu family..."

This made him hesitate.

After all, his first encounter with the Guozhu family did not leave him with a good impression.

If an invitation is sent out rashly, it would be tantamount to exposing the secrets of the amusement park directly to the Guozhu family.

This is not good news for the amusement park.

However, we can't give up the legendary profession...

So……

Qin Fang's eyes began to change rapidly.

Time Prison Guardian... that name sounds incredibly powerful! And it's very likely the warrior class he's been longing for.

And it's just a legend...

A prompt appears on the panel.

Should we begin the recruitment process?

Qin Fang stared at the panel, lost in thought.
