Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 87 Job Change Quest: The Epic Adventure Begins with You
Well known.

Male psychology is divided into child psychology and criminal psychology.

Having experienced the astral projection sensation imagined by the ancients, and having gained the ability to commit crimes easily without being detected, he was in a situation where...

Chen Baiyu then acted like a little boy who had just received a toy, unable to resist fiddling with and pondering the wonders of the divine sense ability.

Chen Baiyu sat at his desk.

Like a child who has just received a new toy, he is studying his own consciousness with great interest.

He first tried to fully expand his divine sense, sensing every detail within a five-meter radius: the distribution of dust under the table, the subtle movements of spiders in the corner, and he could even "hear" the sound of his own blood flowing in his veins.

Then he tried to narrow his focus, concentrating only on the trophy on the bookshelf.

Instantly, every scratch and every reflection on the trophy's surface became crystal clear, as if observed up close with a magnifying glass.

He then tried to shift the "focus" of his consciousness, from the trophy to the leaves outside the window, and then to the room next door.

Although perception stops abruptly beyond a five-meter range, it is very useful within five meters.

"This ability is incredibly useful."

Chen Baiyu muttered to himself, beginning to imagine various application scenarios.

It can predict enemy movements in battle and sense the internal structure when unlocking.

It can even "see" its surroundings in the dark.

Yes.

Unlike vision, it is not limited to light.

Divine perception does not require light as a medium.

However, just as he was immersed in the pleasure of exploring divine consciousness, a sudden wave of dizziness struck him.

Chen Baiyu shook his head violently, only to find that the scene in front of him was starting to blur.

He raised his hand to press his temples, only to find his palms icy cold and his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

What surprised him even more was that he could clearly "feel" his heartbeat was getting faster and his breathing was becoming somewhat rapid.

"How is this going?"

Chen Baiyu shut down his divine sense, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

A few minutes later, the discomfort gradually subsided, but his face was still somewhat pale.

He glanced at the time; only about ten minutes had passed since he started using his divine sense.

"Does the use of divine sense consume energy?"

Chen Baiyu seemed to be deep in thought.

Right.

Nothing in the universe is completely without consumption.

The law of conservation of energy is one of the most fundamental theorems in the world.

Even in many fantasy novels, the authors subconsciously and unconsciously follow the law of conservation of energy.

Chen Baiyu tried to activate his divine sense again.

Sure enough, just a few minutes later.

That feeling of mental exhaustion started to reappear, and it was even stronger than before.

"It seems that this ability is like a muscle; it will get tired if overused."

"However, this drain seems to be mainly mental rather than physical."

Chen Baiyu drew a rough conclusion.

He then tried adjusting the intensity of his divine sense and found that concentrating it on one point consumed less energy, while fully expanding it to cover the entire five-meter range consumed the most energy.

In addition, rapidly switching the focus of one's consciousness can also accelerate mental fatigue.

"It seems that although divine sense is very useful, it cannot be kept on 24 hours a day."

Chen Baiyu decided to temporarily suspend the experiment to give her mental time to recover.

Theoretically speaking.

This depletion should gradually recover over time.

He stood up and walked to the window.

Take a few deep breaths, feeling the not-so-pleasant air fill your lungs, and temporarily ignore the pain in your mind and the mental exhaustion.

In the darkness of night, the city lights flickered intermittently.

The sound of car horns could be heard in the distance.

Looking at the night view outside the window, one can clearly feel that, to some extent, it is not as perceptible as one's divine sense, as if switching from ultra-high definition to smooth quality.

This sense of disparity caused a slight discomfort.

However, Chen Baiyu temporarily ignored this discomfort, and his thoughts turned to a very thought-provoking question:
Does the soul exist in this world?
Looking at the stars in the sky.

Chen Baiyu understood that regardless of whether she had it before, she probably did now.

After all, he now even has divine consciousness and has experienced astral projection.

So……

What about the rest?

His special characteristics most likely come from the system, but since he can give birth to a soul, does that mean that the rules of this world do not exclude the existence of souls?

Or rather.

In fact, only he could be born with a soul through the system. It was the system that forced the world to accept him as a special case.
It was hard for him not to think too much.

After all, if the existence of the soul is verified, it will raise many thought-provoking questions about humanity, philosophy, and mythology.

Chen Baiyu leaned against the window, the night breeze carrying the unique smells of the city blowing against her face.

His gaze wandered back and forth between the starry sky and the lights, but his thoughts drifted further and further away.

If it's someone other than him.

If souls truly exist in this world, where do they come from? And where do they go?

After death, do people truly turn to dust, or does their soul leave the body and travel to another unknown world? He thought of the legends about reincarnation in ancient books, and also of the modern scientific exploration of the nature of consciousness.

In the past, he would have stood on the side of science without hesitation, regarding the soul as a psychological projection of humanity's fear of death.

But now that he has personally experienced astral projection and felt the existence of divine consciousness, he has no choice but to re-examine this issue.

While thinking.

His divine sense expanded again without him even realizing it, and every detail within a five-meter radius became instantly clear.

In the next room, Jiang Haochen was working intensely on his computer screen, the sounds of keyboard typing and mouse clicking creating a fast-paced symphony.

A couple was arguing quietly in the hallway, interspersed with occasional laughter.

Chen Baiyu suddenly realized that if the soul really exists, then consciousness might be the medium through which it is perceived.

When I have free time.

Perhaps I really should go to places like hospitals, crematoriums, and nursing homes to explore with my divine sense whether there is another side to this world.

next moment.

The mental anguish returned.

Chen Baiyu quickly shut down his divine sense.

He rubbed his temples earnestly, trying to relieve his mental discomfort.

Just then, the phone vibrated.

It also interrupted his actions.

It was a WeChat message from Zhang Yuanzhi.

【Live Up to Your Youth】: Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to introduce you to someone quite influential in the sports world, who might be helpful for your future development.

Chen Baiyu fell silent upon seeing this.

He could sense Zhang Yuanzhi's good intentions.

Regardless of their motives, they genuinely want to train him to become a marathon expert, which is a desirable outcome for ordinary people.

only……

[Lili Planting White Elms]: I may be busy tomorrow and the next few days, as I have some important personal matters to attend to.

That's how I replied.

Chen Baiyu put her phone aside.

His reply was not an excuse; he genuinely had important things to do.

While thinking.

He closed his eyes and continued to calm himself down.

When things finally get less uncomfortable.

He opened the system task interface with a serious expression.

now.

After reaching level five, the long-awaited job change quest appeared before him, with messages popping up one after another as he opened the system panel:

[Player detected to have reached level 5! Physical and mental attributes are now perfectly integrated, meeting the requirements to unlock magic attributes and a new class!]

[The damage level of the job change-related module was detected to be 72.542753%.]

[Self-checking in progress...]

[Self-check complete, repair resources missing]

[Emergency response plan activated 457203619434]

[Preparing to search and scan the local occupational system, supplementing and realizing it based on the system's daily resource consumption...]

[Unknown class level detected - 'Taoist' (incomplete)... Compatibility 17%... Attempting to complete... Completion failed... Record template...]

[Unknown level class detected – 'Nuowu' (incomplete)... Compatibility 9%... Class change not recommended!]

[Unknown class level detected - 'Sword Immortal' (incomplete)... Compatibility 31%... Core inheritance 'Sword Control' and 'Sword Pellet' are missing... Downgraded to 'Swordsman'... Record template...]

【…】

[The system has detected that the available job titles are severely incomplete and have excessively high theoretical potential. Completement is not recommended. Emergency plan 946372482 is being activated. Combining existing system job resources with some local resources, we are creating a large number of entirely new job template types for you…]

Immediately afterwards, the system went silent.

Chen Baiyu looked at the large amount of information that popped up on the panel, just like when it was first bound, and was a little worried that this already broken system would break itself.

Although I really want to fly on a sword.

But it's okay if you can't become a Taoist priest or a sword immortal.

He'd be happy to be a dragon knight in a Western fantasy style; he wouldn't be picky.

As long as the system doesn't break down, it's fine.

The system was already stupid, and Chen Baiyu was afraid that this self-check would make it even stupider.

Fortunately, it only lasted for a short while.

The system then restored the sound.

[Generifying your job change quest!]

[Job change quest confirmed: "An epic adventure that begins with you - The Echoes of Jiuchuan"]

[Mission Background: The ancient magic emperor Yu the Great governed Pengli Lake and dredged the nine waterways on the Fuqian Plain, establishing his rule over the nine provinces. His power once shook the universe, and his footprints were imprinted on mountains and rivers. However, times have changed, and the gods and men have vanished, leaving only the banks of the Jiujiang River. This place is where the waterways converge, and also a node where the threads of fate intertwine.]

[Mission Description: Follow the guidance of fate to the 'Confluence of the Nine Veins of Yu'. There, the threads of destiny will draw you to a budding 'Adventure Group'. Join them, become part of their legendary adventure, and together, through your choices and actions, write the opening chapter of a new legend.]

[Mission Hint: No need to search deliberately; when your feet touch that land, you will naturally feel the spark that resonates with you. They may be inexperienced, they may be lost, but the spindle of fate has already begun to turn.]

[Mission Rewards: Your initial class will be determined based on your adventure performance. Outstanding performers will receive rare class templates from the expanded class template resource library, while average performers will receive basic class templates.]

[Mission Evaluation: Ah, yet another flock of bewildered fledglings attempt to leave their warm nests and soar into the sky called 'adventure,' a sky fraught with unexpected twists and turns. Frankly, we're all too used to it. Out of ten such journeys, two that don't end in failure are cause for celebration, and four that ultimately reach some insignificant destination are nothing short of a miracle. As for outstanding performance? Ha! That usually only exists in the boasts of tavern drunks and the overly exaggerated verses of bards.]
