Chapter 125: Completely Officially Employed as a Space Container!

    “Yes, and no,” Ming Lin explained. “The special status of the Translation Department is because it doesn’t have a dedicated person in charge, but is directly under the jurisdiction of the Council of Elders.”

    “But it often happens that people become members of the Council of Elders. Old Sang’s teacher was once one of the members of the Council of Elders.”

    “There’s that, too…” Su Chen was surprised, but he really didn’t know much.

    “You went to the Translation Department to ingratiate yourself, but you didn’t inquire clearly?” Ming Lin teased.

    Su Chen shrugged, and Ming Lin continued, “Of course, the most crucial thing is his senior brother, Pu Zhenghong, Old Pu.”

    “This Old Pu, it’s said that he had a very good relationship with our Chief Justice back then. Oh, and your teacher too…”

    “My teacher?” Su Chen was taken aback; he had never heard Sang Hanhai mention it. He couldn’t help but ask,

    “Is this Old Pu very formidable?”

    “Formidable?” Ming Lin’s tone was high-pitched, but then he lowered his voice, “He could have joined the Council of Elders back then, but he declined.”

    “Then he is indeed formidable,” Su Chen nodded, and asked again, “Is there any specific field?”

    “You know Qiongguang, right?” Ming Lin glanced at him. “It was Old Pu who discovered it, personally presided over the translation, restoration, and promotion of its texts.”

    “A great achievement,” Su Chen couldn’t help but exclaim. He knew the significance of Qiongguang.

    “And…” Ming Lin continued, “Five years after Qiongguang was laid out, he personally presided over the construction of Yingfeng’s defensive spirit ring.”

    He pointed to the faintly visible giant metal ring above his head, “I don’t know what method he used, but all the variant species nearby disappeared without a trace. Even now, no variant species dares to approach Yingfeng.”

    Su Chen looked up in astonishment. This thing was actually created by Old Sang’s senior brother.

    He had checked relevant information, but it only stated that the defensive spirit ring was jointly manufactured by all sectors of Yingfeng, and its main purpose was to protect Yingfeng from external threats.

    However, it did not specify the exact personnel or specific application.

    Then that Old Pu must know what those carved symbols are.

    It could even deter variant species, so His Holiness still gets a lot of respect in reality.

    “Understood now.” Ming Lin sighed with emotion, “This person’s status and achievements are no less than those of an elder, but this person is very pure and has been researching some very ancient things in the Translation Department for many years, and has not shown up for a long time.”

    Su Chen thought deeply.

    Ming Lin couldn’t help but shake his head and say, “You, you rascal, no wonder you only went a few times and then stopped. Those guys in the Translation Department all have their own eccentricities, and you don’t even know much about them, so they definitely wouldn’t welcome you.”

    They had drunk half of the wine when they arrived, and the alcohol fumes hadn’t dissipated, so their conversation was somewhat unrestrained.

    Su Chen chuckled, “You know them so well, they must be very fond of you.”

    “Uh…” Ming Lin gave an awkward smile, “Not bad, not bad.”

    He quickly changed the subject, “Meng Qi is here too.”

    Su Chen turned around and, sure enough, saw the timid Meng Qi walking hesitantly beside him.

    “Two seniors…” He called out, somewhat nervously, as he approached.

    “Don’t be so nervous.” Ming Lin waved his hand, secretly scrutinizing him. He couldn’t believe this guy could actually become a Bloody Butcher.

    “Where’s Chu Xuan? Didn’t he come with you?” he asked.

    “I don’t know, I’ve been training for the past few days and haven’t seen him,” Meng Qi shook his head.

    Chu Xuan probably won’t come, Su Chen realized. Meng Qi might be confident he can withstand the scrutiny.

    But Chu Xuan would probably give himself away the moment he saw Chong Jingtian.

    If that’s the case, Chu Xuan’s death should be within the next few days.

    Su Chen simply greeted Meng Qi and walked in with him.

    It was spacious, and a group of people had already gathered in the center. Wei Yu Fan and Zhong Ming had both arrived and were standing to the side.

    “Chief…” The three went up to greet him. Chong Jingtian scanned the three, his gaze finally settling on Meng Qi, and he smiled, “Good, good. The reason for reforming the internal system is to discover more talents, and it seems to be effective.”

    Chong Jingtian really didn’t notice, how on earth did this guy disguise himself? Su Chen looked at Meng Qi, who was flushed with excitement.

    Ming Lin, however, saw Sang Hanhai, who was busy nearby, looking in his direction, his eyes shining.

    His heart stirred. Having become a core seed, he had also tried to build connections with the Translation Department over the past few years, but like most people, he had been met with a cold shoulder.

    He had hardly spoken to this Professor Sang, and as he was about to strike up a conversation, he heard Sang Hanhai exclaim with a laugh, “Hey, I finally saw you, kid.”

    Who? Me? Ming Lin’s heart jumped. Just as he was wondering when his name had reached this person’s ears, he heard him continue:

    “Su Chen, you ungrateful kid, without that thing, you really wouldn’t go to the Translation Department?”

    Su… Su Chen? Ming Lin’s expression changed. He turned his head and saw Su Chen with a wry smile, “Old Sang, what are you saying? Isn’t this me being afraid of disturbing you?”

    Wei Yu Fan, who had been silent by his side, looked on in surprise. Su Chen had only been to the Translation Department four or five times, how could his relationship with Sang Hanhai be so good?

    “Alright, stop pretending.” Sang Hanhai clicked his tongue, “I didn’t expect you, kid, to be so formidable. I’ve heard that the ‘Chief Seed’ that Old Chong came up with will most likely fall into your hands.”

    The Chief Justice, You, standing by, glanced indifferently at Ming Lin, and frowned upon smelling the alcohol.

    “Wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare…” Su Chen was speechless. You are a big shot, you can speak without restraint, but you should also consider the feelings of others.

    When Wei Yu Fan heard this, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Zhong Ming also narrowed his eyes.

    Ming Lin, remembering his earlier grand introduction outside, showed a helpless, wry smile, realizing he hadn’t sobered up yet. He patted his face.

    Only Meng Qi remained a picture of timidity, head downcast, observing his surroundings from the corner of his eye.

    Chong Jingtian was also quite surprised. When did Su Chen establish such good relations with the Translation Department? Shouldn’t Old Pu be against anything related to Xia Hanshi?

    Chong Jingtian saw Sang Hanhai still wanted to speak, so he immediately interrupted, “Since most people are here, let’s start. Chu Xuan should be here soon.”

    Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, truly fearing that Old Sang would utter some world-shattering words.

    “The main reason I called you here this time is to have you officially join a profession.” Chong Jingtian scanned the group, “It’s called Space Collector.”

    Is it this profession? Su Chen was surprised.

    “This profession allows you to create a dimensional space that only you can open, to store various objects with you,” Chong Jingtian said.

    “Hmm?” Wei Yu Fan’s eyes lit up immediately: “There’s actually a profession like this. Indeed, there’s nothing strange under the sun.”

    “Storing things with you, that’s incredibly convenient.”

    “Can live people be placed inside? How big is it?”

    “It’s too magical…”

    Sang Hanhai saw Su Chen’s surprised expression and couldn’t help but feel speechless. This kid was really good at pretending, and he didn’t bother to expose him.

    Su Chen caught Sang Hanhai’s knowing smile and felt no embarrassment.

    “But the job requirements are quite specific. Next, I’ll arrange it…” Chong Jingtian said, “Later, I’ll open a spatial rift. You’ll each pick up a space crystal nearby and then pass through the rift.”

    “At that time, the space crystal and the rift will react, and Chief Justice You will assist your spiritual power to integrate into it…” Chong Jingtian did not explain the specific requirements, but simply told them to follow the steps.

    Su Chen’s heart stirred. The panel showed that his Space Collector still had one last job requirement to complete, which was to pass through the spatial rift.

    “Perfect, I’ve got it,” Su Chen mumbled to himself, backing away to see what reactions others’ job changes would trigger, considering if he could feign ignorance later.

    Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated. Chong Jingtian walked to the center of the stadium, his arm outstretched, and it gradually turned bright silver, like cast metal.

    His eyes were sharp, and his arms slowly merged into the void. His movements seemed slow but were actually fast, and ripples appeared in space, revealing spiderweb-like cracks that then rapidly expanded.

    Tear!

    A deep rift appeared, filled with bizarre and unpredictable lights.

    “Wei Yu Fan, you first.” Chong Jingtian called out his name.

    Wei Yu Fan obviously didn’t want to be the first, but he couldn’t resist, so he reluctantly walked to the side and picked up a space crystal.

    You Shan stood by the rift, and a staff member from the Translation Department instructed Wei Yu Fan, “After entering the rift, the space crystal will melt…”

    There were many precautions, for example… when feeling the dimensional space, do not get excited, otherwise it is easy to stop the expansion, causing the expanded space to be too small.

    Wei Yu Fan listened carefully, took a deep breath, and clutched the space crystal in one hand, with a somewhat heroic feeling, he plunged into the spatial rift.

    And the expressions of Su Chen and the others froze, because an oppressive aura burst from You Shan.

    Su Chen felt it most profoundly; it was a distorted mental field, an enormous entity in the shadows, this Chief Justice was a Psionist.

    Time passed quickly, only a few minutes, when Wei Yu Fan stumbled out from the other side of the spatial rift, gasping for breath, his expression startled.

    “Did it succeed?” the staff member next to him asked.

    Wei Yu Fan’s eyes flickered, and he shook his head, “No.”

    This little bastard! Chong Jingtian’s face darkened.

    Wei Yu Fan walked to the side, head bowed, saying nothing. Next was Zhong Ming.

    He also picked up a space crystal, walked into the rift, and stumbled out at roughly the same time. When asked if he succeeded, he also shook his head: “No.”

    These guys are really cunning, Su Chen muttered to himself. Whether it succeeds or not, it’s their own method. It’s better to hide it than to reveal it.

    Ming Lin followed closely, and the result was also a regretful shake of the head.

    Su Chen, before Meng Qi, also picked up a space crystal and stood before the spatial rift, which was deep and dark.

    I’ve already succeeded, but I don’t know what the situation is.

    Su Chen, pinching it, walked in, as if stepping into an empty space. The surrounding scenery rapidly rotated, like falling into a kaleidoscope, bizarre and elusive.

    Then, he felt a coolness in his brain, and heard Chief Justice You’s voice, “Don’t resist.”

    Su Chen obediently allowed the other party to guide his mental power.

    But the space crystal in his hand didn’t react at all. You Shan frowned slightly, “Strange.”

    With a blur before his eyes, he stumbled out. Everyone’s gaze immediately turned to him, then landed on the space crystal he held in his hand.

    Wei Yu Fan, Zhong Ming, and Ming Lin’s expressions became incredibly awkward.

    It turned out that if it didn’t succeed, the space crystal in hand wouldn’t melt.

    “What a pity…” Chong Jingtian shook his head, but didn’t dwell on it, waving Meng Qi to step forward.

    “You actually failed.” Sang Hanhai chimed in, “This ability is quite convenient. Want to try again later?”

    “It’s my fortune if I get it, my destiny if I lose it,” Su Chen said serenely. On the panel—

    [Space Container job requirement three completed]

    The last job requirement was met, and this time, the storage space did not expand.

    [Acquired Professional Ability – Space Concealment: You can hide yourself in the interdimensional space.]

    New professional ability!

    Su Chen carefully examined it, an stealth type ability.

    “Being hidden in the spatial interlayer, I don’t know the specifics, but it should be quite strong. I’ll test it out when I get back.”

    He was in a good mood. He had originally thought that this last job requirement would take a long time to complete.

    Chong Jingtian is benevolent, he has good things, and he doesn’t forget his subordinates.

    While lost in thought, he heard You Shan scold, “You… what’s wrong? Why aren’t you listening to me…”

    It was Meng Qi who stumbled out of the spatial rift, looking terrified, with half of the space crystal remaining in his hand, coughing up blood.

    “I, I don’t know…” Meng Qi looked terrified.

    “Job backlash, couldn’t succeed, and couldn’t even try.” Sang Hanhai shook his head, rather regretfully: “If the compatibility with the profession is too poor, forcing it will cause big problems.”

    ωwш◆ тTkan◆ C〇

    Hearing Sang Hanhai’s explanation, You Shan’s expression softened slightly.

    Why is this guy’s personality so timid? Looking at Meng Qi, who was coughing up blood in fear, Chong Jingtian frowned, “Forget it, leave it at that.”

    Didn’t listen to her, what did she say?

    Su Chen keenly realized something, was it about letting You Shan guide his spiritual power?

    Was Meng Qi deliberately resisting, or was it truly a job backlash? Had this Judge You not noticed anything amiss with him?

    “You try again.” Sang Hanhai instigated.

    Su Chen, however, didn’t care. He walked up calmly, teleported two or three times, and the space crystal in his hand showed no reaction.

    “You, in this case, are completely incompatible with this profession.” Sang Hanhai shook his head, “This profession is very useful, what a pity, what a pity…”

    Seeing this scene, Wei Yu Fan felt a surge of relief, experiencing the half cubic meter of space that he didn’t know where it was located, but looking at the sight of the two chatting leisurely, his face turned grim again.

    “Old Sang, what happens to this dimensional space if someone dies?” Su Chen asked.

    “Two probabilities: either it completely disappears, or it explodes on the spot.” Sang Hanhai pondered, “Without experimental samples, it’s impossible to determine.”

    “Why hasn’t Chu Xuan arrived yet?” Chong Jingtian frowned, looking outside the door. He had been waiting for a while and had even sent someone to urge him.

    “Let’s wait a little longer. If he doesn’t come, it can only be said that he missed out on this profession.” Chong Jingtian was not polite. He was given a chance, but he didn’t care, so he couldn’t blame others.

    After waiting for another ten minutes, a man covered in sweat rushed in, panicking. It was Chu Yunze.

    “Chief, Chief!” he called out repeatedly, his eyes filled with terror.

    “What’s wrong?” Chong Jingtian immediately had a bad feeling when he saw Chu Yunze, and asked in a deep voice.

    “Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan…” Chu Yunze stammered, finally managing to utter a few words, “He… he… is dead!”
