"Huh?"

Ouyang Qianjin stared blankly at Xue Manqi.

But then he realized that he had just obtained a piece of equipment, so upgrading it was only natural.

So he used his Eye of Insight to check everyone's condition.

Sebastian and Canon, needless to say, were already at the Skeleton General level, and now they've been promoted to Skeleton Commander!

This is easy to understand.

The upgrades from the initial 'skeleton soldiers' to the current ones have been done level by level, which is fine.

However, Xue Manqi and the other immortals gave Ouyang Qianjin a fright.

Although everyone is still an undead, there has been no change in their race.

However, his career path is quite different from before.

Zhang Mo used to be a swift scout, but now he has become a vanguard of the undead.

Xue Manqi's rune knight has become a death knight.

Lee Tae-young's rune magician has become a hell magician.

Hou Chunfeng, Lei Yi, Ding Caidie, and other element users, regardless of what element they were before, have now all become dark element users.

Daisuke Kobayakawa transformed from a hated samurai into a dark warrior.

Several other professions also changed from Holy Knight to Dark Knight, and from Monk to Dark Walker.

After receiving a rough list of personnel from Sebastian, Ouyang Qianjin took a look at it.

All the elementalists became 'Dark Elementals', and all the warlocks became 'Hell Warlocks' of the Affliction school.

The warrior class has been completely transformed into 'Dark Warrior', 'Death Knight', 'Undead Vanguard', and so on.

Death, hell, darkness, the dead.

No matter how they change, the prefixes for professions are basically the same.

So that's how it is. Although the immortals can no longer advance their professions through leveling up, they can advance by obtaining items from their master.

Seeing that apart from Zhang Yuan, Tai Le, and Kobayakawa Tomoyo, whose hidden professions remained unchanged, all the others had become dark-related professions, Ouyang Qianjin felt a little strange.

This is forcibly changing the other person's profession, turning them into a dark, undead creature.

Although it feels strange, it makes perfect sense when you think about it!

Imagine what would happen to someone who chose a profession like a Holy Knight, Monk, or Cleric on the day of their descent and became an undead.

A dark, undead creature is throwing holy light at you all at once.

Just thinking about it feels a bit off.

"Honestly, you should have said so earlier! Compared to something like cake, this is something to be happy about!"

Ouyang Qianjin smiled.

Although she said that, Ouyang Qianjin still really liked the nineteen-layer skull cake that her subordinates had prepared for her.

"Sebastian, give me the skull on the top layer of the cake. You can share the rest. How can one person eat so much?"

Shaking her head, Ouyang Qianjin gave Sebastian some instructions.

"By the way, since tonight is a celebration anyway, let's take tomorrow off so everyone can get some rest. We can have a party or something tonight."

After receiving the cake, Ouyang Qianjin gave an instruction and returned to her bedroom.

Sebastian and the others went to the banquet hall below the castle.

Since the young lady has said it's a holiday, then everyone should naturally have some fun.

For the undead, sleeping is just like enjoying fine wine and food—it's all a pastime.

Drinking and chatting, enjoying delicious food, and practicing business skills.

Anyway, everyone had a great time.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Qianjin originally planned to eat cake and then go to sleep after returning to her dormitory.

But it eventually turned into staring at the cake on the table without moving.

Next to the cake was the only birthday gift Ouyang Qianjin received today: a crystal skull.

Ouyang Qianjin looked at the skull cake on the plate with a candle stuck in it.

The crack in the crystal skull happens to be in this very spot.

I knew that the crystal skull was sealed when I examined it before.

However, the panel did not explain the conditions for breaking the seal.

Upon seeing the cake with candles on it, Ouyang Qianjin suddenly realized that the problem must lie in the gap.

Will it be like this skull cake, requiring something to be inserted?

Judging from its size and shape, it looks somewhat like a short sword or dagger.

So Ouyang Qianjin found a dagger to try it out, and found that the dagger was too big, or rather, it was not a good fit.

It seems that some special dagger or knife is needed to match.

It's even possible that it was a fruit knife.

It has to be something made at the same time as the crystal.

Never mind.

Anyway, there's always a way out.

There will always be a way to meet them later; in any case, we have already established contact with several major lords around the world.

When they really can't find a child, they resort to offering a large sum of money to find one.

A generous reward will always attract brave men; someone will always bring them to you.

Ouyang Qianjin's idea highlights the importance of going with the flow.

With that thought in mind, Ouyang Qianjin blew out the candles, picked up a fork, and stuck it directly into the skull cake.

"Ah! Now that I think about it, I seem to have forgotten something..."

Enjoying the sweet and fragrant cake, Ouyang Qianjin suddenly felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

Since that's the case, let's eat the cake and then go to sleep...

...

Wait until the next morning.

Just as Ouyang Qianjin had expected, Yan Shaoqing went to that business hall with dark circles under his eyes.
