Ryan's idea was to switch to Soul Eater if he couldn't find one, since the class had some survivability anyway, and 'Ina' didn't need to fight in her daily life, so she could just focus on staying alive.

Of course, the acting mayor's position will inevitably involve danger, so 'Ina' can choose not to fight, but she cannot be unable to fight.

Anyway, the hidden class is just sitting there, and even if I don't use it, it's still pretty cool to have it in my hand.

"The situation is not very optimistic."

In the office, Jonathan smoked a cigarette, looking somewhat worried. "According to our investigation, this Inner World rift is classified as level 4 in terms of danger. We probably can't destroy it with our own strength."

The Gate of Janus classifies the Inner World into different levels based on a comprehensive assessment of the size and strength of the Demon Legion within, the size of the space, and the degree of corruption by the Outer Gods's power. The degree of corruption is the primary criterion, visually representing the danger level based on the intensity of Mental Pollution; this is currently the most widely used method.

The Level 4 Inner World means that even Fourth Tier Supernatural Being would be affected if they entered, and the Demon Legion inside usually includes high-level demons corresponding to Fourth Tier transcendents.

Jonathan wasn't worried about those things; the most troublesome thing was the number of low-level demons, which would also increase as the level of the Inner World increased.

In the Inner World Space, there are at least tens of thousands of demons. If they were to break out, Berman City simply couldn't stop them.

Jonathan approached Ryan with the idea of having 'Shally' clean up the Inner World, as her abilities were well-suited for such large-scale mob-clearing operations.

Ryan opened the game and glanced at it. 'Shally' was just coming out of the train station. She had come back from Silver Peak City.

First he went to Nade City, then to Kells, then to Silver Peak City, and now he's rushing back to Berman City. Ryan is starting to feel sorry for his Second Wife.

But there was nothing she could do; the first wife wasn't around. Only Shally could handle this.

Jonathan didn't dare to call 'Shally,' after all, she was Imperial Viscount, personally conferred the title by the Old Emperor, and only Ryan in the entire Southern Territory could command her... It's unbelievable, how come 'Shally' listens to Ryan so much? This kid isn't even more handsome than me.

"I'll arrange for Shally to go there." Ryan was unaware of the slander in his old leader's mind. "Captain, you should apply to headquarters again. If a large-scale Demon Legion breaks out, we won't be able to withstand it."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

After Jonathan left, Ryan opened the game and switched to 'Ina's' side.

And sure enough, many hands make light work; after a day of searching, the soldiers actually found the location of the ruins.

Ryan glanced at the map. It was located in a mountain range on the border of Romagnil. The ruins were hidden in the mountains, and there was a large forest outside. It would be difficult to find if you didn't know the way.

At this moment, in the picture.

'Ina' is leading the soldiers into the plaza in front of the ruins.

This is a long-abandoned ruin, with walls and rubble everywhere. In the middle of the entrance to the ruin, there is a huge statue with wings, but half of its body has been destroyed.

Legend has it that Janus was a winged angel, so some of his followers build these bird-man statues.

However, the Gate of Janus does not acknowledge this. They record that Janus has no form because gods cannot be looked at directly. It would be problematic if he could be sculpted, and it would be an act of disrespect towards the gods.

These different depictions of Janus are largely formed by local customs, much like Race God. Therefore, they don't pay much attention to the concept of the Gate of Janus, and some even give Janus different names, but in reality, they are the same god.

The gate to the ruins was closed, and array patterns were carved on it.

"Great, fantastic, it's time for my favorite puzzle-solving part again."

Ryan cursed under his breath, too lazy to even look, and turned to busy himself with other things.

Solving puzzles? I hate solving puzzles the most!

Weren't playing games and solving puzzles in your past life annoying enough?

However, to his surprise, when he returned after finishing a document, he saw that 'Ina' had already entered the ruins.

Then, along the way, some 'ruins' were easily solved by 'Ina', leaving Ryan stunned... No, fourth wife, did you peek at the walkthrough?

Ryan remembered that even when he was following a walkthrough, he couldn't navigate the ruins that quickly, especially since it was in game mode with hints. In real life, you don't get told which hole to put the screw in.

"Of my four wives, Ina is definitely the one with the highest emotional intelligence and the smartest." Ryan stroked his chin and added in his mind... She's also the sexiest, I love her so much.

Who doesn't love the elegance and seriousness behind those gold-rimmed glasses? Add to that a business attire, and she bends down to hand you documents—elegance tinged with seriousness, seriousness revealing sexiness, and sexiness imbued with intellect. Perfect, my favorite girl is born.

"... Hmm, this should be it."

The newly revealed location in the scene pulled Ryan back to reality. At this moment, 'Ina' was walking into a circular underground space, where she had arranged for the soldiers to wait outside.

In the very center of the ground, there are three rotating rings, one inside the other, each with a fixed pattern, and in the middle of the three rings stands a not-so-large Statue of Janus.

If I remember correctly, this is where you get the job change in the game.

In the game, you need to rotate three rings and match the patterns on them one by one to activate the Job Change Mission.

Ryan glanced at the 20 Roasted Chicken he had prepared in his backpack. That should be enough no matter what. The only problem was that 'Ina's' stats weren't high enough. At level 11, she couldn't wear the Silver Wings with her base stats. Ryan had no choice but to replace 'Shally' with the Ring of Death, a powerful Divine Artifact that boosted stats.

We're still poor!

One ring, four wives taking turns wearing it... I'm ashamed!

Click click click~~

Ina turned a mechanism, and the central ring turned clockwise by one hour. She stopped to observe for a while, and then went to turn the other rings.

Because the rings are so large, from Ina's perspective, it's impossible to see the whole pattern clearly at once. So she needs to memorize the patterns and then piece them together in her mind. It doesn't sound difficult, but you have to know that each ring has twelve marks and can be turned twelve times!

If you randomly spin the pattern without knowing its exact shape, the sheer variety of possible combinations can be terrifying!

Ryan had no recollection of how it had turned around; he could only rely on 'Ina' herself. He leaned back on the sofa and asked his secretary to pour him a cup of coffee. Before he could finish the coffee, the pattern of the underground space lit up.

"???"

Is it that fast?

Before she could think any further, the pattern formed by the three rings emitted light, creating large patches of silvery-white light in the space around 'Ina'.

These points of light floated in the air in an irregular pattern, forming a three-dimensional space. Then Ryan saw one of the points of light suddenly enlarge and shrink, as if something was moving on these points of light.

Ina observed for a while, seemingly searching for something. In fact, Ryan didn't know what she was looking for either. He had consulted a walkthrough when he passed this level because the pattern of the light spot's movement was too difficult to find.

Bang!

Ina pulled out her Silver Wings and fired a shot.

The bullet passed through the random spots of light, and finally hit a spot of light that happened to be magnified!

The light exploded, and in an instant, all the light spots disappeared.

"Sharp!"

Ryan was astonished. Compared to Ina, her keen observation and analytical skills made him feel like a mere mortal.

My wife is a genius while I'm just an ordinary person?

At this moment, the light spot fell, forming a group of evil spirits that tore through space around it.

Ryan didn't care about these things. He relied on the Roasted Chicken to get by and was easily taken care of by 'Ina'.

Whoosh!

The once silent statue shone with light, which fell upon 'Ina'.

You heard the echo of time and space.

Immediately afterwards, a message popped up indicating a job change option.

[The job change ceremony has been triggered. Do you wish to change jobs?]

[Job Change - 'Holy Spear Master'.]

[The Holy Spear Master: Among the many ancient races that worship Janus, the 'Jialuo Tribe', once renowned for their archery prowess, have long since vanished. They buried the seeds of their heritage in ruins, hoping that one day the gods will once again cast their gaze upon them.]

"You have nowhere to run, because my bullets will blow your head off." — The Holy Spear Master

Ryan chose to change jobs without hesitation.

[Ancient echoes descend, bathing you in the divinity of Janus, and you are reborn.]

Ding! ~

The echoing bells rang out.

Job change successful.

Ryan opened Ina's personal attributes, and what came into view was her new image after the job change—a career woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with long, light blue hair flowing smoothly down her back. A gun was strapped to her right foot, her left arm was crossed over her chest, her right elbow was resting on her palm, her fingers lightly brushed her lips, and a confident and charming smile radiated from her lips.

Elegant and sexy!

Beautiful and elegant!

[Skill]

[Professional Talent]

[Perfect Shot: After every four shots, the Holy Spear Master will guarantee a hit on the fifth.]

[Profession-Specific]

[Disguise: Enter stealth mode, movement speed increased. Attacking cancels stealth and ignores 30% of the target's defense.]

[Wind's Breath Lv1: Charged aiming. The longer the charge time, the farther the bullet range and the higher the damage. Targets hit will be inflicted with a severe injury effect, their movement speed will be slowed, and they will take 5% more damage.]

[Career Attribute Growth]

Physical condition: ★★★★

[Mental State: ★★★★]

[Magic Power: ★★★★☆]
