My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Disadvantages? Advantages?

Xia Hanshi’s smile looked sinister.

Su Chen pursed his lips.

Seeing his reluctant expression, Xia Hanshi’s voice turned cold: “Did Yang Yan and Gu Bing, those two brats, tell you something?”

“I heard some things.” Su Chen didn’t say who told him.

“Say I’m notorious, say I’m bloodthirsty and tyrannical, say I ruin good talents, right?” Xia Hanshi said indifferently.

“I believe there’s a reason behind it.” Su Chen said, “Although this is our first meeting, I can still see your inherent integrity.”

“Integrity?” Xia Hanshi was slightly stunned, looking at Su Chen with interest, and then meaningfully said: “The ones with the most say are the rulers. After I leave, Zhang Hongbo will also speak ill of me.”

“As for how many Heretic God Cultists I’ve killed, nobody cares.”

Su Chen was momentarily stunned, but then heard Xia Hanshi say, “Do you think I’ll force you to be my student?”

Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat. His understanding of Xia Hanshi came from Gu Bing, so there should be no need for the other party to lie to him.

He was already Yuan Chenyang’s student, and Yuan Chenyang’s teacher was also a judge.

If he went to Ying Feng, he would also have a judge as his backer, so the difference shouldn’t be too big. He still preferred stability.

It would be best if the other party didn’t force him.

As if seeing through Su Chen’s thoughts, Xia Hanshi nodded, “That’s right, you guessed it.”

Su Chen: “…”

Su Chen was silent for a long time before he managed a strained smile. Before he could speak, Xia Hanshi interrupted him, smiling ambiguously.

“So afraid of me?”

“Not afraid.” Su Chen immediately denied, “It’s just that I’m shallow and fear I’ll disgrace your prestige in the future.”

“I have no prestige.” Xia Hanshi said indifferently, “As long as you don’t get involved with those heretic gods, even if you desert occasionally, I won’t care.”

“You are indeed unconventional in your ways.” Su Chen praised, then helplessly added, “But I already have a teacher.”

“Yuan Chenyang?” Xia Hanshi smiled: “He has more than one teacher. I believe he will also agree.”

“What if he has other opinions?” Su Chen asked cautiously.

Xia Hanshi said as a matter of course, “If a teacher obstructs his student from having a better future, what’s such a teacher good for?”

Well… you’ve already rationalized it yourself.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, “My grand-teacher is also a judge. It’s not worth it for a small fry like me to cause conflict between the two of you.”

“Hmm…” Xia Hanshi mused, “It seems there are no judges who don’t have conflicts with me.”

When you have too many fleas, you stop worrying about them.

Su Chen had not felt so speechless in a long time.

“You can’t just look at the disadvantages…” Xia Hanshi’s attitude was very good. To make himself appear kindly, he even smiled, which only made him look even more unsettling.

How am I supposed to look when I don’t even know how many drawbacks there are?

Su Chen became even more helpless.

“Apart from anything else, becoming my student guarantees you a place as an inner court seed.” Xia Hanshi explained, “The Tribunal is divided into an inner court and an outer court. The outer court is where basic training takes place, and you will definitely enter the inner court.”

“However, as Yuan Chenyang’s student, even with Crimson Gold talent, you would only be an ordinary member of the inner court initially.”

Xia Hanshi said leisurely, “The Tribunal accepts over a hundred talented individuals like you, chosen from the cities under Ying Feng’s jurisdiction each year. Crimson Gold talent is rare, but it does appear occasionally.”

“After a few years of accumulation, it’s not a small number.”

“Resources aren’t endless. While talent accounts for a significant portion of the assessment, it’s not everything. Character, ability, and combat effectiveness are also considered.” At this point, Xia Hanshi’s expression grew colder, “Of course, connections are also extremely important.”

Then he continued, “However, you also have connections. If nothing unexpected happens, you will become one of the inner court seeds within a year. But as my student, you can directly skip this step.”

He continued, “Talent is most efficient when young. Delaying for a year might require three years to make up for in the future.”

Su Chen’s eyes flickered.

“Also, as my student, you can also be as domineering as I am.” Xia Hanshi said bluntly, “The Tribunal doesn’t train you for nothing; sometimes there are missions assigned, which you can directly refuse.”

Su Chen’s expression was a little strange.

“Of course, there’s the most important point.” Xia Hanshi’s voice became even colder, “You and I are both vagrants. Even if the data is modified, among the many judges, only I will not judge you with prejudice.”

Su Chen sighed, straightened up a bit, then bowed slightly, and said, “Teacher.”

These so-called benefits were not the decisive factors; what was more crucial was Xia Hanshi’s attitude.

He didn’t even cast a glance at Zhang Hongbo and the other two, but to him, he was almost coaxing. The other party had already said so much.

If he refused again, he felt that the other party would be annoyed. Besides, he felt that the other party was not as Gu Bing described.

Old Xia was right; ordinary people’s discussions would not reach the upper echelons, nor would they spread to other cities. What was passed down by word of mouth could only be the higher-ups.

Xia Hanshi nodded, “Good, you’re different from your senior brothers. You’ll have a better future than them.”

He pulled a silver metal disc from his embrace, glanced down at it, and finding it motionless, tucked it back in, asking nonchalantly:

“How did you know where those Heretic God Cultists were? Do you have an informant?”

Su Chen was silent again.

Old man, it’s true that we now have a teacher-student relationship, but don’t you understand why it’s a teacher-student relationship?

Is such a sensitive question really necessary to ask now?

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Xia Hanshi didn’t press him, but instead asked, “After you killed that Black Tuluo Cultist earlier, did you find a Guiding?”

“Guiding?” Su Chen frowned, “What Guiding?”

Xia Hanshi shook his head, “Nothing, it’s probably fake, used to lure me.”

After that, the judge finally confirmed: “You have no connection with the Mysterious God Cult, right?”

Su Chen did not answer directly, but said, “The last time I saw you, it was because someone slandered me. The two envoys from Ying Feng tested me and confirmed that I had no connection with the heretic god.”

“Indeed, they already knew you had Crimson Gold talent last time.” Xia Hanshi revealed a chilling smile, then said:

“Slander? That City Lord seems to have an opinion of you, kid. Do you want to taste what it’s like to be ‘tyrannical’?”

Su Chen thought for a moment and asked, “Could you please check if there are any people sent by the City Lord outside?”

“Yes, I’ve got them pinned down.”

“Tier 3?”

“Tier 3.”

Su Chen shook his head after hearing this and said, “The so-called ‘slander’ also happened for a reason. It’s understandable.”

“You, young man, are quite different from other vagrants.” Xia Hanshi clicked his tongue in wonder, “In the future, you don’t need to be so reserved in front of me.”

Su Chen smiled wryly. Xia Hanshi then said, “Let’s go, come back with me. I’ll test your talent again. Don’t misunderstand, your teacher, I, like to see things for myself.”

Su Chen naturally had no objection, only secretly speculating that, compared to the last measurement, he now had the bonus from The Wise, so his talent had changed somewhat.
