Chapter Index

    Any job?

    The necromancer sized up the young vampire across from him.

    This young man… had a frankness that other vampires lacked…

    He was recommended by Abomination.

    The necromancer fiddled with a bone chip in his hand and began to contact Abomination.

    Soon, Abomination sent a message:

    “Trust me, he’s a smart young man.”

    On the ghost train, Abomination was eating a heart and lungs while laboriously typing with greasy, thick fingers.

    The necromancer understood.

    Since he was highly recommended, maybe he could…

    “Son, aren’t you afraid of hardship? You know work is very hard.”

    The necromancer said with a smile.

    “Not afraid! As long as there’s food on the table.” Shen Ye was very frank.

    Just kidding–

    If not, I’ll change my identity tomorrow night and try again!

    The necromancer’s eyes softened, and he pondered, “Abomination rarely gives out its eyeballs, so you must be a good young man… By the way, have you learned any advanced vampire skills?”

    “My family is poor, so I haven’t learned any,” Shen Ye said.

    This surprised the proud necromancer.

    “Hmm… it’s not easy… but your background is clean, and your appearance is not bad… come with me.”

    The necromancer frowned, thought for a moment, then got up and led Shen Ye through another door, down the corridor to the very end, and knocked on the door of another office.

    “Come in.”

    A female voice came from inside.

    “Be smart, this one is a big shot,” the necromancer whispered.

    The door opened.

    The necromancer immediately smiled and said softly, “Daisy, I have a good prospect here, see if he’s suitable.”

    He pulled Shen Ye in.

    The room here was much wider than the previous office, even several times the size of an office.

    A mature and beautiful woman, dressed in a gorgeous and vibrant red dance dress, stood in the center of the room, holding a stack of manuscripts, reading intently.

    A long cigarette was clipped between her other fingers.

    “I’m warning you again, don’t recommend people indiscriminately—”

    “The last werewolf messed up my performance and tried to take advantage of a female audience member, so I killed it.”

    The woman said without looking up, her tone severe.

    “This time it’s different,” the necromancer said, looking embarrassed and whispering, “If it weren’t for his poor family, this vampire youth wouldn’t come to us.”

    “Daisy, look at him!”

    The woman slowly raised her head and looked at Shen Ye.

    “Baxter, a vampire, a good young man, just retired from the front lines,” the necromancer introduced.

    The woman raised an eyebrow in surprise, put down the stack of manuscripts, and circled Shen Ye.

    “Naive…”

    “I rarely see such a naive and handsome vampire—boy, how many women have you dated since your birth?”

    “None yet,” Shen Ye said truthfully.

    “Ha!”

    The woman let out an enigmatic sound, her tone rising again: “You possess a quality… that ordinary vampires don’t have…”

    Shen Ye stood honestly, not knowing what to say.

    —Isn’t that obvious? I’m a genuine Peiqi, my body comes from the main world, and my soul comes from Blue Star.

    Three in one.

    Aren’t you afraid?

    “Have you ever sung before?” asked the lady called Daisy.

    “No,” Shen Ye said.

    “What about dancing?” Lady Daisy asked again.

    “…I used to be a soldier,” Shen Ye spread his hands.

    It’s over.

    It seems there’s no hope of finding a job here.

    Who knew that Lady Daisy would actually

    took a few steps back, stared at him, clapped her hands, and said:

    “It’s okay, come on, let’s try!”

    She clapped her hands and began to sing:

    “Gray rain falls from the distant sky,

    That is the gods’ covetousness of the human world,

    Like water to fish, piano to dance, and I like you.”

    Shen Ye crossed his arms, with a hint of resistance in his expression.

    “What’s wrong?” Daisy asked.

    “Madam, actually… men need to show their charm through force, and I want to be a tough guy, a brave warrior,” Shen Ye explained.

    “But if you become a song girl or a dancer, the entire upper class will recognize you, and they will appreciate your pursuit of art,” Daisy said.

    “Not only that,” the necromancer added, “the income is considerable, everything you buy gets a ten percent discount, you can freely enter and exit any shop, and you can use the city’s high-level teleportation arrays.”

    “Every song girl or dancer has exclusive special power, and it doesn’t affect combat professions; this is very rare.”

    “Most importantly,” Daisy said, “no one in Evernight City can attack you; this is the Regent Prince’s decree.”

    “People yearn to gain inspiration for becoming stronger from you, and any performance of yours will be richly rewarded,” the necromancer said.

    “…” Shen Ye.

    Both of them looked at him.

    “I didn’t hear it clearly just now, please sing it again,” he decided.

    Daisy sang it again.

    This time, Shen Ye put all his free attribute points into comprehension.

    —Comprehension reached 20.

    Although he didn’t know what his voice was like, he decided to understand the other party’s singing method first.

    Daisy finished her song.

    “You try,” Daisy said.

    Shen Ye cleared his throat and began to sing:

    “Gray rain falls from the distant sky,

    Daisy’s eyes lit up, and without thinking, she made a twisting motion, perfectly showcasing her graceful curves, then nodded at Shen Ye with her chin.

    Shen Ye now possessed an unprecedented level of comprehension, far exceeding that of vampires his age.

    Seeing Daisy’s movements, he immediately understood.

    “That is the gods’ covetousness of the human world,

    “Like water to fish, piano to dance, and I like you.”

    He sang and made a twisting motion at the same time.

    —His movements, expressions, posture, and charm were all perfectly synchronized!

    “Good, he’s meant for this!”

    Daisy put her hands on her hips and said with an appreciative tone.

    “So it’s decided?” the necromancer asked from the side.

    “It’s decided. He’s the new member of our Dark Rose Song and Dance Troupe—but it depends on which direction he wants to develop,” Daisy said.

    “Yes,” the necromancer turned to Shen Ye, “Do you want to be a songstress or a dancer?”

    Daisy also looked at him quietly.

    Songstress or dancer?

    Is he making his debut already?

    Shen Ye felt a little nervous.

    —I should be able to be a songstress.

    A dancer is too effeminate, too flamboyant, not suitable for me.

    “I’ll be a songstress then.”

    Shen Ye made up his mind again.

    “Good!”

    The necromancer brightened up and gave Shen Ye a thumbs up:

    “Lady Daisy is very strict. Since you’ve earned her admiration, you must work hard.”

    “I will,” Shen Ye said.

    “Young man, I see you still have something to say?” Daisy asked.

    “I just arrived in Evernight City, and I still have many things to deal with and haven’t settled down yet, so I need some time,” Shen Ye said.

    “Then go and get busy. Come report to me when you’re done,” Daisy was very understanding.

    “Thank you, madam.”

    Shen Ye bowed and was about to leave when Daisy suddenly pulled out a dim nightmare crystal and placed it in his hand.

    Something miraculous happened—

    The crystal suddenly bloomed with a magnificent and mesmerizing pink light in his hand, illuminating the entire room.

    The necromancer exclaimed.

    For the first time, Daisy’s face showed a lively smile.

    “The souls of ordinary people are not rich enough in layers, not unique enough, and have no extraordinary experiences, so they cannot activate this unique crystal.”

    “But you did, Baxter.”

    “I don’t quite understand what you mean,” Shen Ye said.

    “The skill in this crystal belongs to a songstress—take it, you have the talent to use it, you’ve already activated it.”

    Daisy smiled charmingly at Shen Ye.

    “Thank you,” Shen Ye bowed slightly and turned to leave.

    In the room.

    The necromancer asked, “Do you think he’ll take the job?”

    “He will,” Daisy said, “This world is too serious, the magic world is too grim, and everyone has an incredibly strong demand for developing professional skills—”

    “Everywhere needs songstresses.”

    “Even if he rejects me now… he probably can’t refuse that nightmare crystal.”

    The necromancer thought for a moment and said:

    “I remember the previous werewolf, after opening the crystal, only gained the ‘Muscular Dancer’ skill. Do you think he will like this skill?”

    “No,” Daisy immediately shook her head. “A songstress’s professional skill is generated based on the characteristics of the soul.”

    “This kid won’t get such a basic, primary skill.”

    Daisy showed a meaningful smile:

    “His soul emits a unique fluctuation, quite charming; I guess he will show potential that even I don’t know—”

    “Of course, as long as he joins my song and dance troupe, I will pay you a sufficient referral fee.”

    “Thank you for your help; our veteran guild hasn’t had a large income in a long time,” the necromancer sighed.
