My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 72

Chapter 72: A Full Harvest and Meeting Xia Hanshi for the First Time

It turned out that the City Lord’s ability to change faces was on par with Old Sun’s.

Su Chen was quite surprised. Did he discover my potential and want to curry favor?

He narrowed his eyes; it wouldn’t be so easy to let it go.

Yang Yan chuckled, reacting quite quickly.

There are different degrees of settling scores. Zhang Hongbo wasn’t without backing, but if Su Chen wanted to go all out, it would be enough to give him a hard time.

Zhang Hongbo seemed to ignore the reactions of the three, merely smiling at Su Chen, and then added, “Don’t be shy, just tell me what you need. As long as I can do it, I’ll try my best to help you.”

“Since that’s the case…” Su Chen pondered briefly. Since the other party was prepared to shed blood, he felt no embarrassment and immediately said, “I want information on a Tier 2 Advanced Melee Fighter profession.”

Zhang Hongbo was clearly a high-level Psionist and would definitely have it.

He originally thought it would take until Ying Feng for the Arcane Apprentice to transform, but unexpectedly, the progress was much faster than that of the Gale Hunter.

“You…” Zhang Hongbo raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but ask, “You are already a Tier 2 Psionist, do you still need it?”

Yang Yan showed a faint smile, implying he was quite vindictive.

“That’s exactly what I need,” Su Chen emphasized.

Zhang Hongbo looked at Su Chen’s serious reaction and realized that Su Chen was deliberately making things difficult.

Leaking Tier 2 professional information in secret was nothing, but with the Tribunal members present, doing it openly would get him into trouble.

But realizing this, he felt a sense of relief instead. Su Chen taking revenge now meant less resentment later.

“Alright…” He feigned difficulty to make Su Chen feel more satisfied, “Coincidentally, my Tier 2 profession is an advanced Psionist, called Psionic Manipulator.”

Zhang Hongbo narrated: “The conditions for employment are…”

Su Chen’s expression subtly changed, as a prompt had already appeared on his interface.

[Discovered Tier 2 Advanced Profession – Psionic Manipulator. Conditions must be met to be employed.]

[Employment Condition 1: Persist for three hours in the “Psionic Trial.”]

[Employment Condition 2: Three F-grade Meditation Methods must reach Master level.]

[The Arcane Apprentice, influenced by the power of a Heretic God, discovered the Psionic Manipulator and immediately rushed towards it. The Psionic Manipulator resisted with all its might…]

The Arcane Apprentice, tainted by the Heretic God’s power, truly couldn’t wait and immediately pounced, but the result was still pending.

They were all Tier 2 Advanced, so it would likely be a struggle.

Su Chen guessed that a transformation would probably happen soon, and from his experience, the reaction would be significant. If he ended up clutching his head and howling in pain, it would be quite troublesome.

“Write it down…” Yang Yan said coolly, “Zhang Hongbo leaked Tier 2 advanced profession information without authorization.”

Gu Bing had already opened the virtual screen and noted it down with a firm hand.

Zhang Hongbo didn’t care. Looking at Su Chen’s slightly changed expression, he speculated if Su Chen regretted it.

For him, this profession wasn’t really useful. If he sold it on the black market, he’d have to guard against being investigated.

Su Chen’s tone became a little hurried, and he added, “I also need some Tier 2 Psionic Potion to aid in mental meditation.”

Zhang Hongbo’s eyes flickered. He hadn’t expected to fob off Su Chen with a Tier 2 profession that was useless to him. After a moment of contemplation, he said:

“There are no Tier 2 meditation aid potions in the Supervision Department. How about this, I’ll personally give you ten tubes of Illusion Essence. The effect is decent.”

“Ten tubes a week? That’s barely acceptable…” Su Chen muttered, glancing at his panel again.

Zhang Hongbo’s cheek twitched. Ten tubes a week? This kid really dared to think! Due to the scarcity of mental items, the price of Illusion Essence in Southwind City far exceeded that of Mist Demon Potion, reaching tens of thousands of gold per tube.

He deliberated for a moment, truly feeling the pain this time, and forced a smile: “How about this, it will be the same quota as the Mist Demon Potion per week.”

Su Chen looked at the panel unconfidently, then hesitated and asked, “Also five doses per week?”

Wasn’t Mist Demon Potion three doses per week? Where did five come from?

Zhang Hongbo wasn’t sure if the logistics staff had privately increased Su Chen’s standard, but inquiring now, after proactively trying to smooth things over, would make him seem petty.

Forget it… it’s better to get this cut over with sooner rather than later, Zhang Hongbo consoled himself, his smile becoming more strained: “Exactly, five doses each.”

“I suddenly remembered that there’s no corresponding E-grade meditation method…” Su Chen added.

Since he had already paid the price for everything else, a meditation method was nothing. Zhang Hongbo waved his hand, “I’ll arrange it.”

“Thank you, City Lord.” Su Chen also displayed the appropriate attitude, sincerely expressing his gratitude and preparing to leave.

“I’ll see you out. Oh, and one more thing…”

Zhang Hongbo walked out from behind his desk, smiling as he approached, but before he could finish speaking, the office door suddenly burst open with a “bang.”

The eyes of several people simultaneously looked over. Su Chen subtly retreated a step. Who was so bold as to barge into the City Lord’s office?

“Old… Xia!” Zhang Hongbo’s heart skipped a beat after seeing who it was.

Yang Yan and Gu Bing also looked startled, and Gu Bing even discreetly glanced at Su Chen.

Zhang Hongbo seems to be very wary? No, he’s afraid!

Su Chen keenly realized this. The person who walked in through the door was an old man, silver-haired and vigorous, with a gaunt figure, his face covered in layers of wrinkles, looking like there wasn’t much flesh left on his bones.

“Everyone’s here?” Xia Hanshi swept his gaze over the four, pausing for a moment on Su Chen before moving on, his tone indifferent: “What kind of conspiracy are you discussing?”

“Nothing.” Zhang Hongbo was the first to speak, his face showing no emotion, “Just discussing recent matters with the two envoys.”

His heart was filled with anxiety. A vagrant, Crimson Gold talent, this Judge would hear about it, and who knew what kind of trouble would ensue.

“Hmm.” Yang Yan echoed, but in his mind, he was also pondering that this promising youth had already been taken as a student by Yuan Chenyang, belonging to the Third Judge.

But if his talent were exposed, Old Xia would surely try to forcibly take him, to pursue the impossible profession, and the person would be ruined.

If he proactively revealed it, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Third Judge, which was troublesome…

Yang Yan quickly decided that if Old Xia asked about Su Chen’s situation, he would tell the truth; if not, he would pretend not to know.

Each of the three had their own thoughts, but they all appeared calm on the surface.

Su Chen vaguely felt the atmosphere was strange, but he just wanted to leave quickly, as the Arcane Apprentice was about to win.

Xia Hanshi surveyed the room, then suddenly looked at Su Chen, his grim gaze unsettling, “Who is this kid?”

“Yuan Chenyang’s student, Su Chen, the one who found the Holy Word Stone undercover,” Gu Bing spoke first, briefly introducing him, “He’s now the Deputy Section Chief of the Supervision Department, with a boundless future.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Hanshi averted his gaze, and shook his head imperceptibly, “Such a young Deputy Section Chief…”

Su Chen felt that this old man was inexplicably strange.

Gu Bing added, “I’ll see him down.”

Su Chen followed Gu Bing, boarded the elevator, and it wasn’t until they reached the ground floor that she looked up and whispered, “Don’t you feel like the atmosphere is very strange?”

“Hmm.” Su Chen nodded, then opened his panel again, still no results.
