My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Core Seed, Chief Judge Position!

Yang Yan deliberately lowered his voice: “Low-level occupations only require you to run and exercise, but high-level occupations have various requirements and contain peculiar powers.”

This was something Su Chen had never heard of before, and he kept asking, so Yang Yan revealed more.

“…The Translation Department had a conjecture a long time ago, that the higher the level of occupation, the greater the spirituality… If they are incompatible, knowing relevant occupational information will interfere with them, and in severe cases, they may even go mad.”

“Occupations can have their own consciousness?” Su Chen asked, “astonished.”

“I don’t know…” Yang Yan shook his head, “But this conjecture has long been forgotten. It was my teacher who told me about it.”

“You mean… would a certain occupation particularly appreciate someone, and allow them to take up the position without fulfilling any requirements?” Su Chen asked.

“Haha…” Yang Yan was stunned, then burst out laughing: “You young people really have a rich imagination.”

He dismissed Su Chen’s words as idle chatter, not taking them seriously at all.

Then, Su Chen asked how the occupations translated by the Translation Department were circulated.

Yang Yan thought for a moment: “First, they are divided into special occupations and sequential occupations, and then further subdivided. Various agencies in the city, and even individuals, can bid for them, except for some occupations with special functions.”

“So it’s an auction…” Su Chen was surprised.

“You can also exchange occupations…” Yang Yan said casually: “There’s a lot of mist in the wilderness, and there are still many undiscovered settlements with inherited strange occupations.”

“So, that gave rise to the profession of occupational hunter.”

Su Chen no longer paid attention to the latter half of Yang Yan’s sentence, only hearing “exchanging occupations”.

“Hmm… I think I’ve found a way, Saint…” Su Chen pondered.

“Yang Yan…”

Suddenly a voice sounded, and Su Chen returned to his senses, only to find another person in the hall. The golden hair was meticulously combed back, wearing glasses, thin lips, and very fair skin.

Seeing this person, Yang Yan’s face changed drastically, and he said coldly, “Jin Yunxuan.”

“Back from patrol outside?” Jin Yunxuan had a faint smile on his face, his gaze sweeping over Su Chen.

“The box contains Holy Word Stone, right? Where did you go this time, Northwind City, or Westwind City?” Jin Yunxuan walked slowly, reaching for the metal box in Yang Yan’s hand.

“It’s Nanfeng City!” Yang Yan flung the box back.

“Oh… sorry, I forgot.” Jin Yunxuan said without apology, pointing to the box: “You forgot, I’m also a translator, and I have the right to inspect.”

Yang Yan’s face was cold: “This is a special type. Chief Justice Xia asked me to deliver it personally to Professor Sang. If you insist on inspecting it, I will report it truthfully.”

“Chief Justice Xia…” Jin Yunxuan’s expression tightened, but then he narrowed his eyes: “A special type to be specifically delivered to Professor Sang, it’s not simple.”

Yang Yan remained silent. Just then, the emotionless voice from the front desk sounded, “Professor Sang is available now, Inspector Yang…”

“Wait a minute…” Jin Yunxuan suddenly stepped forward and smiled, “Translator Jin Yunxuan has urgent matters to discuss with Professor Sang.”

The front desk voice paused, “Translator Jin Yunxuan, your priority is higher than the Inspector’s. Please enter.”

“Sorry.” Jin Yunxuan turned back and smiled at the two of them, “You two wait a little longer.”

He walked straight into the elevator, Yang Yan’s face turned ashen, and after a long time, he sighed, saying with a wry smile, “It seems we’ll have to wait a little longer.”

“It’s fine.” Su Chen shook his head, not bothered.

“This person has been dissatisfied with the Tribunal for a long time, and I have some personal grudges with him.” Yang Yan shook his head helplessly, “As an Inspector, sometimes I can only let him have his way.”

Because they were cut in line, the two of them waited for another hour before the front desk allowed them to enter.

“Why hasn’t that guy come out?” Yang Yan frowned as he stepped into the elevator.

Ding!

The elevator closed, and the two went straight to the top floor.

The entire top floor space was a laboratory filled with precision instruments. After Su Chen entered, he immediately scanned the surroundings.

Unfortunately, he didn’t see any Holy Word Stones placed casually.

However, he did attract the hostile gaze of two staff members, who scrutinized him suspiciously. These people were not translators, not even apprentices, but merely auxiliary staff.

“Professor Sang…” Yang Yan ignored Jin Yunxuan, who was standing nearby, and walked up to the slightly chubby elderly man in a white lab coat.

He seemed to have a kind smile, but his right eye was white.

“This is the Holy Word Stone from Nanfeng…”

He handed it over, but Jin Yunxuan took it from his hand, shaking his head: “This Inspector Yang of ours is really stubborn. I met him downstairs and wanted to take a look in advance.”

“After all, those small cities, like Nanfeng and Beifeng, don’t have much capability. If there’s an issue with identifying the Holy Word Stone, wouldn’t that waste Professor Sang’s time?”

“As a result, he wouldn’t let me look.”

Yang Yan’s face darkened, but he could only watch as the other party opened the box, took out a palm-sized Holy Word Stone, and observed it carefully.

“Hmm… it seems to be Xiswen. This kind of writing is mostly used to record special occupations…” He squinted at it for a while.

“According to the data, this should be a very rare spatial type of special occupation.” Sang Hanhai shook his head, “Xiao Jin, you are skilled in Bolaiwen, just give it to me.”

“It’s actually a spatial type occupation?” Jin Yunxuan looked surprised, “It’s been a while since we discovered a spatial type occupation.”

He held up the Holy Word Stone with both hands: “I’d really like to study Xiswen, but you won’t accept me, old man.”

“Professor Sang, there’s one more thing…” Yang Yan saw Sang Hanhai turn to begin his work and quickly interjected.

Sang Hanhai looked over, and Su Chen took half a step forward, his voice calm, “Professor Sang, Nanfeng City hopes that after you finish deciphering it, you can share a copy with them.”

“It’s a customary practice, why do you need to specifically remind me?” Jin Yunxuan frowned, glanced at Su Chen, and then looked at Yang Yan: “Is this the newcomer you brought? So disrespectful of the rules?”

“It shouldn’t be a Tribunal newcomer, are you from Nanfeng City?” Sang Hanhai raised his hand to stop Jin Yunxuan, guessing his origin, and asked with interest, “I heard that you have a promising talent there.”

“You mean… Su Chen?” Yang Yan’s heart stirred.

“It seems to be that name. It caused two chief justices to fight fiercely, and Old Tian has recently been scolding Xia Hanshi to everyone he meets. I heard he also has the rare dual talent of Crimson Gold.” Sang Hanhai shook his head, and then added, “Unfortunately, he was taken in by that scoundrel Xia Hanshi.”

“Dual talent of Crimson Gold?” Jin Yunxuan was also quite surprised, “That’s certainly rare.”

Yang Yan glanced at Jin Yunxuan, and in the latter’s somewhat bewildered gaze, pointed at Su Chen and said, “It’s him.”

Jin Yunxuan’s face stiffened slightly, looking a bit sullen, but he quickly composed himself.

“Oh?” Sang Hanhai was surprised, looking Su Chen up and down, deep in thought: “Indeed, an ordinary person wouldn’t come specifically to remind me.”

Su Chen, on the other hand, gave a wry smile, “I am fortunate to have the appreciation of the two chief justices, but the fierce fighting is a bit exaggerated; I am not worthy of such treatment.”

“Haha…” Sang Hanhai laughed, “Interesting, that unruly Xia Hanshi actually took in such a sly student like you.”

“Nanfeng City, right? I’ve noted it. After the deciphering is complete, I will specifically instruct the subordinates.”

“Thank you, Old Sang.” Su Chen nodded, then asked hesitantly, “May I ask how long it will take you to decipher it?”

This question made Yang Yan’s face change, but Jin Yunxuan showed a half-smile.

Sang Hanhai’s expression also became more serious, and he said lightly, “It’s hard to say for sure. Are you in a hurry?”

“Don’t get me wrong.” Su Chen then explained, “I feel like I might be able to help you decipher it.”

Jin Yunxuan almost burst out laughing, and Yang Yan was also puzzled. Su Chen wasn’t an impulsive person, so why would he say such a thing?

“Help me?” Sang Hanhai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, waving his hands repeatedly, “I appreciate your offer, but this is not something an ordinary person can decipher.”

“Please hear me out…” Su Chen explained, “On the way here, Inspector Yang told me that there’s a special method of decryption, where an individual’s life force has a special affinity with the occupation recorded on the Holy Word Stone…”

Before he could finish speaking, Sang Hanhai’s face changed slightly, and he interrupted, “Divinely Inspired Translation, you can resonate with the occupation recorded on this Holy Word Stone?” Yang Yan stared at Su Chen as if he had seen a ghost. Was this kid just talking nonsense?

“Impossible!” Jin Yunxuan seemed about to say something, but Sang Hanhai interrupted him, his expression gradually becoming serious, imbued with a certain authority: “Are you sure?”

Why does it feel like there’s something else going on here?

Su Chen realized that something was wrong. Yang Yan was an inspector, and the information he received might be severely outdated compared to the internal workings of the Translation Department. Perhaps they had new theories emerging.

But since things had come to this, Su Chen could only bite the bullet and nod, “Indeed… I’ve come into contact with it once or twice, and each time I’ve had a vague, inexpressible feeling in my heart.”

Sang Hanhai said nothing, but took out the encrypted hard drive that was placed with the Holy Word Stone.

After a simple decryption, he looked at the recorded data and frowned, “Nanfeng City deciphered a small part of it, which says that one of the requirements for employment is three spatial crystals.”

Three? This is too far off. Su Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head, “I feel like it doesn’t need that many, maybe two, or even one would be enough.”

Sang Hanhai narrowed his eyes, “Anything else?”

“Hmm…” Su Chen hesitated, “Can I take a look?”

Sang Hanhai handed over the Holy Word Stone. Su Chen took it and looked at the dense, constantly flickering symbols on it.

He pretended to ponder, and after a moment, he hesitantly said, “I feel like it also needs the assistance of a Psionist.”

Sang Hanhai didn’t comment. After taking back the Holy Word Stone, he placed it on a cylindrical instrument in the center of the laboratory.

The laboratory staff quickly responded, taking their respective positions.

As the command was given, the Holy Word Stone on the instrument trembled more violently, and the symbols on it flickered faster. On the large screen nearby,

This seemed to be a method to make the symbols on the Holy Word Stone appear faster.

“Stop…” Sang Hanhai suddenly raised his hand, the instrument gradually stopped, and he stood in front of the large screen, which was covered with complex, flickering symbols.

“It truly is…”

Soon, Sang Hanhai’s brows relaxed.

“So fast?” Yang Yan’s raised heart also slightly relaxed, but he was still a little surprised.

“Originally, the deciphering was like searching for a needle in a haystack, but now Su Chen has pointed me in a direction; I just need to verify it.” Sang Hanhai was in a good mood, “This is the advantage of a Divinely Inspired Translator; it can increase the speed of deciphering geometrically.”

“There is indeed a need for a Psionist, but the rank is not high. The main body should not be a high-level spatial occupation; it’s probably for auxiliary use.”

Based on years of deciphering experience, Sang Hanhai had already made a basic inference.

Truly impressive… Su Chen couldn’t help but praise, he had a system panel, but the other party didn’t.

Sang Hanhai looked at Su Chen, pondering: “Since that’s the case, before this occupation is deciphered, you can temporarily help me. I’ll get you a temporary identification, so you can come directly to me.”

“Just come two or three times a week.” He added, “Don’t worry, it won’t delay your Tribunal assessment.”

“I couldn’t ask for more,” Su Chen responded immediately. His original goal was to infiltrate the Translation Department, and now that the opening had been made, he just needed to proceed step by step.

Yang Yan’s expression kept changing, and he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Su Chen truly had good luck. Even if it was just temporary help, he had still connected with Old Sang, which would be beneficial in the future.

After Su Chen stated his identification code and exchanged contact information, he left with Yang Yan.

Jin Yunxuan also followed them into the elevator, his gaze fixed on Su Chen the entire time, completely disregarding Yang Yan beside him, and said with a smile, “Brother Su, when you come next time, you can talk to me more often.”

“Maybe we can work together in the Translation Department in the future. There’s no future in a place like the Tribunal, filled with uncouth people.”

“There will be opportunities.” Su Chen had no conflict with him, and responded calmly.

On the way out on the metal disc, Yang Yan couldn’t help but say, “I’m not badmouthing him behind his back, but this guy isn’t a good person. Be careful when dealing with him.”

You are indeed badmouthing him, Su Chen muttered to himself, nodding, “I understand, I’ll keep an eye out.”

Outside, it had already turned completely dark, with only a sliver of the silver moon remaining in the sky.

Boarding the hovercar, Yang Yan said, “I’ll find you a hotel nearby. It’ll be convenient to get to the Translation Department. Do you have any requirements?”

“With a gravity room.” Su Chen thought for a moment, “At least five times the gravity.”

“That price won’t be 저렴하지.” Yang Yan glanced at him. “It won’t be less than a thousand gold a night.”

“Then I need to exchange some money.” Su Chen estimated, and from the luggage in the car’s trunk, he pulled out a few purple metals.

This was Pan Yu’s savings, which he never had a chance to use in Nanfeng.

“Qionghui Stone, let me check the nearest exchange office.” Yang Yan opened the virtual screen, screened it, and took Su Chen there.

With his ID, he got a savings card and converted ten Qionghui Stones into forty-five thousand gold.

“The commission is actually 10%…” Su Chen was still complaining after leaving.

On the way to the hotel, under Yang Yan’s guidance, Su Chen opened his wristband and registered using his current identification code to access Yingfeng’s network.

This gave Su Chen a rare sense of familiarity. Unlike Nanfeng, Yingfeng’s population quantity and quality were sufficient to support a network community.

Therefore, there were various sections, allowing access to various information, news feeds, and even offline delivery services.

“The Tribunal assessment is approaching, and a talent with Mo Cui (Dark Green) aptitude is suspected to have appeared, causing a sensation!”

Su Chen skimmed a news headline, clicked in, and read a few lines. The entire article was filled with “it is said,” “I heard,” and “speculation,” with no valuable information.

“Mo Cui, huh…” Yang Yan glanced at the corner of his eye and couldn’t help but say, “It hasn’t appeared for several years. I didn’t expect one to appear this year. With this one, the Tribunal now has two Mo Cui aptitude holders simultaneously.”

“Unfortunately, the four core seeds have already been distributed. I wonder what will happen this year. This guy definitely doesn’t want to just be an inner court seed.”

“Who wouldn’t want to compete for the position of Chief Judge?”

These matters were a bit far from Yang Yan, and he only brought them up casually.

Core seeds, inner court seeds, inner court members, and outer court members are the classification standards of the Tribunal.

“There are actually two?” Su Chen couldn’t help but be surprised, and at the same time, he adjusted the virtual screen towards himself. What kind of strange habit did this Yang Yan have, peeking?

Seeing Su Chen’s actions, Yang Yan was also speechless. He just glimpsed it, could he be blamed?

He explained: “The population of Yingfeng alone is not small, plus the many cities under its rule, even if Mo Cui-level talents are extremely rare, they will eventually be discovered over the years.”

“However, talent is talent, it doesn’t represent the final achievement. There’s also the stumbling block of job requirements. Every year, many exceptionally talented people fall.”

He sighed, “And… the higher the talent, the more they pursue the extreme. Who doesn’t want every tier to be a top-tier profession? You wouldn’t believe how perverted the job requirements for high-level professions are.”

Su Chen understood in his heart. The job requirements were bizarre; some could be assisted by others, some were difficult for others to assist, and some even had certain subjective factors.

These were all problems that talent couldn’t solve. If one truly walked down a dead-end professional path, let alone Mo Cui, no matter how high their talent, it would be useless.

“We’re here…” The place Yang Yan found was indeed very close, arriving in about half an hour. Its name was Moyun Guantin—the outer walls were painted greyish-white, soaring into the clouds.

He showed his Inspector’s badge and got a 30% discount, allowing Su Chen to stay for seven hundred gold per night.

“Contact me if anything happens.” Yang Yan exchanged contact information with him, saw him to his room, and then took his leave.

“The room is nice, as expected of Yingfeng.” Su Chen looked around, everything was available, and with the help of his mental power, he didn’t find any cameras.

“Phew…” Su Chen stood by the window, looking out. The moonlight was dim, but Yingfeng was still bustling.

“…Mo Cui, Saint, Morning Star rank…” Su Chen muttered.
