My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Unexpected Attack – Stolen Special Occupation

Waking up refreshed, Su Chen looked energetic.

[Candlelight Spirit Forging Method – Master: 50%]

The progress of becoming a [Mysterious Tool Master] was steadily advancing.

After washing up, he didn’t continue with the tedious training, but instead prepared to go to the cafeteria to buy a few more nutrient solutions.

However, as soon as he left the dormitory building, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit off. There were many more patrol guards on the roads inside the academy.

Moreover, these were not the academy’s internal security themselves. Each of them was burly, dressed in deep blue close-fitting combat suits with thick metal armor on their shoulders, chests, and thighs, carrying black assault rifles.

Their expressions were stern, and they exuded a dangerous aura. Su Chen even felt that many professionals were mixed among them.

“Why are there so many inspection guards? What happened?”

Many students on the road had the same question.

“I don’t know, but people started arriving yesterday afternoon, and it’s said they’ve taken over all security work at the school,” a student whispered.

“Yesterday afternoon?” Su Chen’s expression subtly changed, and he muttered to himself, “Could it be because of Zhou Zong?”

“It’s said that the academy was attacked.”

A mysterious voice suddenly came from behind him. Su Chen’s steps slowed down. It wasn’t because of Zhou Zong?

“Attacked? Is that true?”

The students who had gathered exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course it’s true, otherwise, why would there be such a big commotion?”

Su Chen leaned in to listen, but was suddenly stopped by a dark-skinned inspection guard. Without a word, the guard took Su Chen’s student ID and swiped it on a device in his hand.

Then, he rubbed his hand on Su Chen’s cheek to confirm there were no issues before waving him through.

Although a first-tier strongman strengthens the body, it generally does not exceed the human scope. This simple check would not reveal any clues.

“The one in the back, don’t spread rumors…” he warned again.

Su Chen looked back. The academy was attacked? Is that true?

On the way to the cafeteria, he heard a lot more news. Some said the school had been robbed, others said several senior teachers had died, and they were all second-tier professionals.

All sorts of rumors flew around.

“Bai Fengxi?” Su Chen bought the nutrient solution and then turned to see Bai Fengxi coming up the stairs.

Zhou Zong was probably still vexed about who knocked him out yesterday, so he wasn’t with Bai Fengxi.

Su Chen thought for a moment and walked straight over.

“Old Bai…” he called out.

What kind of address was that? The girls nearby looked puzzled.

“Oh, it’s him, Jiang He’s little Bai… um… handsome guy…”

Su Chen’s face was quite memorable, and a girl immediately recognized him.

Bai Fengxi’s gaze fell on the small bag Su Chen was carrying.

He already had money so quickly; Teacher Jiang He was truly generous.

She hesitated, but Su Chen said frankly, “I have something to tell you.”

Bai Fengxi thought for a moment and followed Su Chen to a corner seat.

“Zhou Zong has his eyes on you, he was asking me about your identity.” Su Chen couldn’t help but whisper, “He doesn’t seem to know your background.”

“Zhou Zong…” Bai Fengxi frowned slightly, then nodded and whispered, “En, Teacher Yuan modified my information. I’m now a friend’s orphaned child.”

Bai Fengxi said this without any hint of embarrassment on her face.

“No wonder. He probably wanted to use your background to control you,” Su Chen suddenly realized.

Generally, an ugly duckling turning into a swan wouldn’t want any association with their past self.

For example, “Bai Fengxi, you wouldn’t want your friends to know that you’re actually a low-class vagrant, would you?”

“Then you should be careful.” Su Chen reminded her, then seemed to get up, but sat down again, curiously asking, “Who is your teacher?”

“Teacher Yuan, it’s Yuan Chenyang.” Bai Fengxi’s phrasing was a bit strange.

“Deputy principal? Head of Surveillance?” Su Chen paused, scrutinizing Bai Fengxi. How could she have such good luck? The Southwind Academy had several deputy principals, and Yuan Chenyang was undoubtedly a powerful figure, controlling one of the city’s violent departments, the Surveillance Department, responsible for the city’s internal security.

“What are his requirements for accepting students?” Su Chen asked, quite curious. “How did he take a liking to you?”

“I don’t know…” Bai Fengxi glanced at him, looking a little troubled, “I’m not too sure either.”

“Be careful, you might have met a pervert,” Su Chen said with “jealousy.”

Bai Fengxi said “oh,” not minding the joke, and then said, “Don’t worry about Zhou Zong, I’ll warn him.”

“However, he won’t have time for other matters for a short while; Zhang Hengyu is keeping an eye on him.”

“Hm?” Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

Bai Fengxi whispered, “Yesterday, Zhang Hengyu played a dirty trick and stole Zhou Zong’s Blood-activating Potion, which really infuriated him.”

“Zhang Hengyu?” Su Chen’s eyes held a strange look. “Why does he think it was Zhang Hengyu?”

“Because of a spot, a spot to go to Fengfeng City…” Bai Fengxi didn’t seem to care.

A spot? Fengfeng City?

Su Chen was surprised; he didn’t expect such a misunderstanding.

Bai Fengxi’s eyes held a suppressed flame of gossip, “It’s said he was stripped naked, and someone recorded it with a projection device. He’s warning everyone around the world.”

Why are you so excited?

Su Chen’s face was odd as he asked, “How is Little Pigeon doing?”

Bai Fengxi’s expression softened a bit. “She’s doing well. I’ve already had her start basic education. She often talks about you.”

“That’s good.” Su Chen got up to leave.

“You… want to become Yuan Chenyang’s student?” Bai Fengxi asked hesitantly.

“Hmm.” Su Chen sat down again and sighed, “Jiang He isn’t a long-term solution.”

“Indeed, you’ll get tired of it sooner or later.” Bai Fengxi nodded; she wasn’t some naive person, having also crawled out of the mud.

Su Chen didn’t explain much, while Bai Fengxi said, “Yuan Chenyang values talent.”

“Talent?”

You didn’t know why he took you in?

Su Chen realized that Old Bai was very cautious. Her attitude towards him could only be described as slightly better. Originally, she probably didn’t intend to bring this up, but now she had changed her mind for some reason.

“Physical talent, spiritual talent. If you have talent, you can move faster and better than others,” Bai Fengxi explained.

Su Chen pondered over this. So, he learned the Candlelight Spirit Forging Method quickly precisely because he possessed spiritual talent?

“Hmm…” He looked at Bai Fengxi and said solemnly, “I feel that I also have talent.”

“You?” Bai Fengxi subconsciously scrutinized him, then hesitated.

“Can you help?” Su Chen asked.

“It’s hard to say, I can only put in a word, but he…” Bai Fengxi hesitated.

Su Chen noticed that her way of addressing Yuan Chenyang was strange, but he didn’t ask, simply saying, “Alright, anyway, thank you.”

…

“If only I could get connected with Yuan Chenyang…” Su Chen was still calculating when he returned to the dormitory.

In that case, Jiang He wouldn’t be a problem, nor would Qi Chuan, and he wouldn’t have to worry about his next meal, cooped up in the dormitory all day.

…

Deep within Southwind Academy, in a high-rise office, Bai Fengxi silently walked in.

Yuan Chenyang was rubbing his temples, his bald head gleaming. He noticed Bai Fengxi. “You’re here.”

“How’s the investigation going?” Bai Fengxi asked.

“No clues at all. The culprit is very cunning, but I’ve trapped him within the academy…” Yuan Chenyang opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them. “I suspect there’s someone working with him from the inside.”

“…The item was only halfway deciphered when it was stolen. Fengfeng City has already inquired and will likely send someone.”

Bai Fengxi couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly was stolen?”

Yuan Chenyang’s face tightened. “An undisciphered special occupation…”
