Contracting a SSS-Class Goddess Army
At the awakening ceremony, Lin Fan awakened the [Domineering CEO] profession, which drew ridicule from others. Unfazed, Lin Fan quickly realized the immense potential of his profession. He teamed up with the lonely school beauty Xu Qianyue to explore secret dungeons together, helping her awaken the [Nine-Lives Poisonous Healer] profession. The duo cleared dungeons at record speed, drawing the school's attention to Xu Qianyue's transformation. After careful consideration, Lin Fan decided to collaborate with the state—under its protection—to recruit other talents. Zhao He, the head of Dahang City, took Lin Fan to the struggling No. 1 High School, where they took notice of the mischievous Zhuang Fan. After the principal explained Zhuang Fan's circumstances, Lin Fan formed a contract with him. Just then, a demonic horde launched a surprise attack. The two unleashed a [Necrotic Apocalypse], repelling the demonic tide and hinting at a deeper conspiracy—No. 1 High’s decline was orchestrated by the demons, and Zhuang Fan had now caught the attention of the Demon Sovereign. As Lin Fan’s two employees continued to clear dungeons, he grew stronger from the dividends, unlocking new [Domineering CEO] abilities like [Board Meeting] and [Approval]. However, his rising prominence drew the attention of Huang Jinshuai, the young master of the Huang family, who was secretly colluding with the extraterrestrial demons. When Lin Fan’s third employee, Wen Xin, became Huang Jinshuai’s target, their conflict escalated rapidly, culminating in Huang Jinshuai’s death as a major turning point. After Huang Jinshuai’s demise, the Huang family fully defected to the demons. The demons began harvesting the spiritual energy of awakened humans to create [Zero Rebirth], inciting war against humanity. Meanwhile, Lin Fan kept leveling up—clearing dungeons, competing in tournaments, and contracting his fourth and fifth employees: the beautiful doctor Han Qianqian and the fearless special agent Leng Bing. Their prowess made the demons realize their threat, prompting the Crimson-Eyed Demon Dragon Emperor stationed in Dahang City to send [Zero Rebirth] after them. However, after several failed battles against Lin Fan, [Zero Rebirth] unexpectedly surrendered willingly, submitting to Lin Fan’s dominance. Enraged, the Crimson-Eyed Demon Dragon Emperor launched a full-scale invasion of Dahang City—only for Lin Fan to outmaneuver and ultimately defeat him. Just as humanity was celebrating this historic victory, the sky turned crimson. A colossal hand descended, seizing Zhuang Fan and attempting to annihilate Dahang City. At the critical moment, the legendary human hero Long Aotian emerged, repelling the hand and unveiling the next stage of the journey...
