Chapter 4: The Perfect Life Begins with a Successful Career Start

“Pfft! Pfft!”

At this moment, Mo Wen felt like a merciless executioner.

The dagger pierced in and then withdrew.

Unfortunately, not a drop of fresh blood splattered onto his face, leaving his actions lacking a certain macabre beauty.

The white-haired little girl tilted her head, her hollow eyes gradually dimming as the young man laid hands on her.

Being a doll, she naturally had no blood. Yet, with her heart pierced, she would “symbolically” die.

Though she would soon revive.

But that was enough!

Mo Wen’s gaze sharpened. After confirming the cursed doll’s “death,” he swiftly stabbed again at three spots: the soles of her feet, the lower abdomen, and the heart.

With a faint, sorrowful cry, the white-haired little girl’s body rapidly shrank until she was no larger than a palm.

Casually grabbing the doll, he stuffed it into his pocket and immediately checked his status panel.

This time, the system did not disappoint him.

[Congratulations! You have exceeded the requirements of the “Black Beast Ritual.” Would you like to assume the “Black Iron Rank Profession—Black Beast Crew Member”?]

“I accept! Immediately!” Mo Wen confirmed in his heart.

If he didn’t resolve the crisis brought by the [Forbidden Item—Doll Kingdom], even his accelerated heartbeat alone could cause him to collapse on the ship.

After ascending successfully to the “Black Iron Rank,” a strange sensation stirred within Mo Wen’s body.

The personal panel was not complicated, but at this moment, Mo Wen had no time to study it in detail. He didn’t even have a chance to review the talents and skills gained from assuming the “Black Iron Rank—Black Beast Crew Member.” Without hesitation, he immediately cast his last remaining use of Reconnaissance onto the Black Beast Captain.

In the next moment, detailed information unfolded before Mo Wen’s eyes.
