Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

"Shut up!"

Xiao Yun roared and collapsed to his knees in agony.

"Ah Yun!"

"Brother Yun!"

Ji Mingyu and the other two exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran towards Xiao Yun.

"No...don't come any closer!"

Xiao Yun struggled to lift his head, breathing heavily:

"I can't control myself! Don't come any closer!"

After he finished speaking, his back arched backward, like a fully cooked shrimp.

He spread his arms and roared at the sky like a wild beast, his trembling voice filled with uncontrollable madness.

"Old Ji...kill me, kill me now!"

He screamed in agony, his voice filled with pleading.

Even if it means death, he doesn't want to become a monster that only knows how to eat.

Ji Mingyu's body trembled, then he burst into a tirade of curses:

"Damn it! It's easy for you to die, but what about those who possess your flame?!"

Xiao Yun's body stiffened, and a glimmer of clarity flashed in his eyes.

"Everyone……"

Xiao Yun let out a low roar, suddenly raised his hand, and dug it into his chest, tightly gripping the Gluttony's Maw.

His ravenous appetite did not diminish in the slightest, but the pain from the corrosive acid made him much more alert.

He raised his face, which was almost contorted in pain, and roared at Ji Mingyu and the other two:

"Damn it! I haven't given up, but you guys better not just stand by and watch!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Tianyuan's low murmur rang out:

"reverse!"

A clear chime rang out, and an illusory clock appeared, its longest hand slightly turned backward.

"puff--"

Wang Tianyuan coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned deathly pale, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Damn! Yun-ge, your timing was absolutely terrible!"

He made a comment, then changed his mind.

"stagnate!"

Boom!

As the ethereal chimes rang out, Xiao Yun's body froze in place, like a specimen encased in amber, with only his head showing.

But on his chest, the Gluttonous Mouth was still writhing slightly, and the illusory clock kept trembling, revealing fine cracks.

Wang Tianyuan coughed up another mouthful of blood, knelt on one knee, and growled:

"I can't hold out much longer, so use whatever tricks you have!"

"I'm using it!"

Ji Mingyu responded, and behind him, thick darkness surged, and a twisted, pitch-black sun slowly rose.

"It is hereby judged! Sinner Xiao Yun, the original sin you bear is beyond redemption and death! You must return to my radiance to atone for your sins!"

"Your death is not permitted until atonement is complete!"

He gave a low shout, and the writhing darkness slowly condensed into a contract, which entered Xiao Yun's body.

[Ding! You are cursed—the path of atonement.]

A strange power emerged within him, colliding with his burning gluttonous desire.

Xiao Yun's eyes widened:

"Damn it! You even added something extra to my food!"

"Nonsense! I'm not a priest specializing in healing; I'm lucky if I can fight fire with fire!"

Xiao Yun's head was buzzing from the shock, and the two forces inside his body were constantly fighting each other, making him feel like his whole body was about to explode.

He raised his head, trembling, and looked at Zhong Mo with hope.

"Okay, Yun-ge, don't be sad anymore, okay?"

Zhong Mo grinned, his golden eyes radiating a dazzling light like the sun.

"This medicine of mine will definitely cure you completely!"

But Xiao Yun's eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably.

He suddenly remembered that this guy was also a tank with no healing abilities.

"Stop! You fucking stop! If you add any more, you'll really blow me up!"

But before he could finish speaking, a long and majestic dragon roar was heard, and a brilliant golden light entered his body.

A terrifying power suddenly appeared, as if a supreme and powerful king had arrived!

But this king brought not salvation, but destruction!

Within his body, brilliant golden light coalesced into a dragon, which crashed fiercely into the abyssal power and gluttonous desire that were locked in battle.

boom!

Xiao Yun felt as if a bomb had exploded inside his body, and his consciousness instantly became blurred.

"Damn! You guys went way too far with the ingredients!"

Wang Tianyuan roared and, with his last ounce of strength, launched another reversal.

Time seemed to flow backwards almost imperceptibly for a moment.

But this instant provided a buffer for the three forces within Xiao Yun's body.

The three forces are opposed like a triangle, yet they have formed a delicate balance.

"He's alive!"

Ji Mingyu and Zhong Mo cheered, and Wang Tianyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cough cough cough cough... I won't live much longer if you guys keep doing this."

Xiao Yun sighed helplessly and glanced at the body, which looked like shattered porcelain.

Given the intensity of the conflict between the three forces within his body, he estimated he wouldn't even last a day.

"Furthermore, we cannot recklessly devour the remaining food abilities in the dungeon to satisfy Gluttony's appetite, otherwise Gluttony's desire will surge instantly and break the balance."

Xiao Yun's expression darkened slightly as countless thoughts raced through his mind, searching for a solution.

Just then, a golden light caught Xiao Yun's attention.

"Golden Pot!"

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, and with a try-it-out mentality, he took the golden pot.

Next, he took out three golden shovels that he had kept in his backpack for a long time and fused them with the golden pot in different ways.

Accompanied by three crisp clangs of hammering, three golden crowns appeared before our eyes.

[Congratulations! You've collected all three crowns! You've received a hidden reward!]

[Second Career, Begin!]

"A second job!"

A dazzling light flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes as he devised a solution:

"Previously, the idea was to resolve the [Gluttony] first, and then the [Momentary Eternal Pact]. Now it seems that we can try a different approach."

"The curse of the 【Fleeting Eternal Pact】is the loss of all professional abilities, including talents and skills. However, if I unlock a second job, I can regain my power and use it to suppress the gluttonous urge within me!"

Having a plan in mind, Xiao Yun made a decision instantly.

"Fatty, hurry back and bring me the [Settlement Stone Tablet]."

Zhong Mo paused for a moment, then left quickly without any hesitation.

Remembering something, Ji Mingyu called out to his retreating figure:

"Bring over another house. That thing is a building; I don't know if it can be used in dungeons."

A moment later, Zhong Mo returned carrying a stone tablet and a piece of land.

Su Muqing, Jiang Shangzhen, and others also arrived together.

Their faces were full of anxiety, but they were afraid of affecting Xiao Yun's actions, so they just watched him silently and didn't dare to say a word.

"Don't panic, it's a minor issue."

Xiao Yun forced a smile, offered a few words of comfort, and then slowly focused his mind on the [Settlement Stone Tablet].

"Check my current score."

[Ding... Calculation complete!]

[Player Xiao Yun's current score is 13753 points, with kill points accounting for 24%, item acquisition points accounting for 18%, special area/dungeon exploration points accounting for 33%, and special guild advancement bonus points accounting for 25%]

"That's enough!"

Xiao Yun breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Not only is it enough to change jobs, but it's also enough to directly advance to the seventh rank."

"However, since it's not a special profession, the bonuses and abilities gained from the second profession are much weaker."

"Moreover, if we settle the accounts early, the next few days will be wasted, and the plan to accumulate points to advance to the sixth sequence will have to be postponed... But we can't worry about that now."

"First, restore your professional abilities, suppress your gluttony, and survive."

Once Xiao Yun made up his mind, he didn't hesitate any longer and chose to settle the account ahead of schedule.

[Ding! A blank second profession has been detected. The settlement reward has been dynamically adjusted.]

Congratulations! You have obtained a Job Change Card, an Eighth Sequence Advancement Card, and a Seventh Sequence Advancement Card.

Xiao Yun picked up the job change card and, with a thought, the familiar panel reappeared before his eyes.

[Ding! Your job selection card has been activated. Please choose one of the following jobs.]

Available Classes: Warrior, Tank, Mage, Assassin, Archer, Priest, Summoner, Alchemist

Xiao Yun chose the Alchemist class almost without hesitation.

Although there is a great overlap with his current abilities, alchemists are naturally more resistant to curses, strange phenomena, and mutations because their job is to study all sorts of bizarre things, which is more helpful in getting him out of his current crisis.

"Furthermore, the ability that was forcibly raised to the fifth rank, similar to a 'domain,' is very similar to an alchemy workshop constructed through alchemy..."

Xiao Yun's eyes flashed, and a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

The world trembled, and endless darkness and a long, bright staircase slowly appeared before our eyes.

But at that moment, Xiao Yun suddenly noticed something unusual.

Cluck-cluck-cluck

Hearing the sticky saliva sound, Xiao Yun suddenly looked down at the Gluttonous Mouth.

At the same time, Gluttony's mouth slightly lifted, licking its lips and curving into a strange smile.

"You...don't want your body anymore? Then...can I eat him?"
