Chapter 19: [Space Collector] (More updates! Please track!)

    “Anything else?” Bai Fengxi came down from upstairs and ran into Su Chen, who had returned, feeling quite confused.

    “Borrow some money…” Su Chen was somewhat embarrassed.

    Bai Fengxi frowned and couldn’t help but say, “You’re so amazing, didn’t Jiang He give you money?”

    Your “amazing” is ambiguous, Su Chen said simply and directly: “Not enough.”

    “Uh, I don’t have much here either.” Bai Fengxi felt a stinging pain in her shoulder, but her trust in Su Chen increased a lot.

    She pulled out a small blue-and-white cloth bag, “I only have twenty or thirty on me…”

    “Give it all to me.” Su Chen reached out his hand.

    Bai Fengxi looked up at him. When she had interacted with Su Chen before, this guy wasn’t this shameless, was he?

    “I’ll return it to you.” Su Chen took it naturally and turned to leave.

    “Plus what the victim gave me last time, I can probably scrape together seventy or eighty…” Su Chen lowered his head and sent a message to Wei Zhigao.

    “I want to buy a Blood-activating Potion.”

    Wei Zhigao quickly responded—”500 gold.”

    “I only have 70…”

    “…500 is already the discounted price.”

    Su Chen thought of a compromise, “How about this, I don’t want this week’s nutrient solution, and I don’t want next week’s either. Can you give me another discount?”

    Under normal circumstances, the proficiency of the Molten Rock Forging Method does not increase quickly. To meet the promotion requirements as soon as possible, external aid is necessary.

    After a long while, Wei Zhigao finally responded, “…Just this once, I’ll have someone deliver it to you.”

    “Old Wei still has the demeanor of a teacher,” Su Chen sighed.

    Not long after returning to the dormitory, the person Wei Zhigao sent hurriedly arrived. It was a member of the school’s internal affairs department, who said little and conducted business as usual, exchanging money for goods.

    The other party counted the gold coins and left with a speechless expression.

    Drinking the Blood-activating Potion, Su Chen felt his body swell and began to fiercely temper himself.

    The progress of [Molten Rock Training Method] slowly increased. Under the stimulation of the Blood-activating Potion, and with the assistance of the [Scholar], it improved at a visible rate.

    Early morning the next day

    Thump! Thump! Thump!

    Su Chen’s eyes snapped open. A note had been slipped under the door.

    Opening the door, he only saw a fleeting silhouette at the turn of the stairs.

    “A note?” Su Chen looked down, and after closing the door, he carefully opened it with his hand wrapped in Shadow-Hiding Clothes, holding his breath. There was a small line of text on it–

    “If you don’t want Bai Fengxi’s secret to be exposed, come find me behind Mingguang Tower.”

    ??

    Su Chen was stunned. Bai Fengxi’s secret, why threaten me instead of her?

    “Brother Zhou, it must be you.” Su Chen burned the note and continued to train.

    Since he’s already threatening, he must be anxious. I’m not in a hurry anyway.

    Besides, it seems Lao Bai doesn’t really care about this.

    As a result, two hours later, someone knocked on the door again, also with a note, but this time with different words–

    “We can talk. It wasn’t easy for you to get this far. It’s not worth getting yourself involved for someone else.”

    “Sick…” Su Chen ignored it.

    Until mid-afternoon, Su Chen’s body trembled slightly, his heart rate suddenly accelerated, and crimson, molten-gold patterns gradually spread across his red skin. Sweat evaporated into white mist, and the temperature in the entire room began to rise.

    [Molten Rock Training Method – Proficiency: 1%]

    “Woohoo, it’s finally done…” Su Chen let out a long sigh of relief. The increase in proficiency brought a clear feeling. The training intensity suddenly increased, also indicating an improvement in career development efficiency.

    [Riftwalker Warrior: 28%]

    Su Chen clenched his fists, feeling great.

    The promotion conditions have been met, and the second ability of [Riftwalker Warrior] has also emerged.

    [Wind Walk (Passive): Moves with the wind, the faster the wind, the higher the movement speed.]

    “Moves with the wind?” Su Chen savored these words. He walked to the window, opened it, and the moment a breeze brushed past his body, the feeling of almost flying became even stronger.

    “I really want to rush out…” Su Chen stared out the window, his legs eager to move.

    …… As the artificial light gradually turned dull yellow and dimmed, due to the recent special circumstances, very few students wandered around the academy after 6 PM.

    In the small grove behind Mingguang Tower.

    “Brother Zhou, that kid just won’t come out. I’ve sent three notes already.” In front of Zhou Zong, a few guys smiled bitterly, “That kid must have guessed that coming here wouldn’t end well.”

    Zhou Zong’s face changed and he said coldly, “Bai Fengxi is such an idiot, Su Chen doesn’t care about her at all.”

    Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but touch the object in his怀里. He had gone through a lot of trouble to get it, originally hoping to get closer to Bai Fengxi, but he was told to “get lost” twice that morning.

    “This kid is really resourceful, first hooking up with Jiang He to get into Southwind Academy, then getting involved with Bai Fengxi.” Several young people sighed repeatedly, “He’s handsome, and he really has…”

    Before he could finish, he felt Zhou Zong’s gaze, which seemed to want to devour people, and immediately shut up.

    “Maybe our words were too subtle,” someone changed the subject, “Brother Zhou, should we add some more?”

    Zhou Zong frowned and waved his hand coldly, “You guys leave.”

    The few of them exchanged glances and left. He didn’t want to talk to these people anymore.

    “A vagrant, this identity will be a big hidden danger in the future. As long as it’s held, Bai Fengxi will have a weakness.” Zhou Zong muttered in a low voice. His father was also one of the vice principals of the academy, and he knew that Bai Fengxi’s identity seemed to be extraordinary.

    His expression gradually became fierce, “Su Chen, I don’t believe…”

    Before he could finish, a familiar sharp pain came from the back of his head. His eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

    “Who?” A pair of eyes in the distance instantly narrowed, staring intently at the target lying on the ground.

    This was a carefully selected target, of no small status. He had already hidden the item on the other party and originally intended to escape today.

    But by mid-afternoon, this guy secretly came to this desolate area. A few patrol members even came to inquire but were driven away by the other party.

    He didn’t know what the other party wanted to do. To avoid accidents, he could only follow from a distance.

    As a result, he saw someone ambush this guy. In the shadows, a blurry outline gradually emerged.

    “Is the injury so severe that he didn’t even notice when the other party approached?” His face was grim, and he felt a faint pain in his chest.

    “My brother…” Su Chen stepped on the wind and arrived, staring at Zhou Zong on the ground. “Don’t disappoint me.”

    He originally wasn’t going to come, but then he thought of the gains from his last raid, and with the attitude of “nothing ventured, nothing gained,” he came here.

    [Riftwalker Warrior] was indeed extraordinary. His speed surged two to three times, and with the [Shadow-Hiding Clothes], he could come and go without a trace.

    But Su Chen’s movements were still swift, naturally stripping him clean.

    “Hmm?” He was quite surprised, looking at the four test tubes of potion in his hand, two red and two blue.

    He was quite familiar with the red ones. They were crimson like blood, Blood-activating Potions.

    “Revitalization Potion, how did he get this?” Su Chen remembered that this was used to stimulate mental activity, and it was even more expensive than the Blood-activating Potion, costing seven hundred gold per bottle even after discount.

    “Put it away for now…” Su Chen tucked the items into his embrace.

    He then skillfully stripped off the clothes. While packing them, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

    “How do I feel, these clothes…” Su Chen rubbed the clothes in his hand. When he folded them just now, he clearly felt that something was off.

    He quickly found the target. In the interlayer of the clothes, on the right side of the abdomen, there seemed to be something.

    “Hidden so deep, it must be a good thing.” Su Chen became interested. He carefully disassembled it, and inside was a palm-sized, thin as cicada’s wing… metal piece?

    It felt very warm, with intricate symbols engraved on it that were constantly changing. Su Chen felt dizzy just by looking at it.

    But the panel reacted—

    [Discovered special profession – Space Collector. Can be employed after completing the employment conditions.]

    [One of the employment conditions: one Space Extraction Crystal]

    [Employment condition two: pass through a space rift]

    [Employment condition three: self must be at least a top-tier mental type level two professional]
