My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 184

Every kind of Demonic God power can stimulate a professional in different ways. With the Faceless Ghost and Hei Tuo already encountered, Su Chen has been curious about the effects of other Demonic God powers for quite some time.

Now, finally presented with an opportunity, he specifically retrieved a three-tier advanced profession before coming here to conduct an experiment. It was already prepared in the system panel.

【Three-tier Advanced Profession – Fiery Blight Envoy】: This is a variant of the fire element profession, with stronger destructive power.

【Promotion Requirement 1: Raise three E-tier Body Tempering methods to Master level】

【Promotion Requirement 2: Defeat three professionals of the same tier who are related to the fire element, and devour their elemental power.】

【Promotion Requirement 3: Venture deep into a volcanic area and immerse yourself in shallow magma for more than half an hour.】

Requirements 2 and 3 had already been weakened due to the Great Venerable’s influence. Originally, it required defeating five professionals of the same tier and immersing for over an hour.

Low-tier divine power can affect a three-tier profession. Spending one portion for an experiment is merely a drop in the bucket given the amount of divine power he currently possesses.

The people from the Court of Judgment were busy preparing the detection procedure to check if he had been corrupted. Su Chen didn’t pay much attention, thinking to himself, “Then let’s try this Crimson power first.”

With a subtle thought, the system panel immediately reacted: 【Fiery Blight Envoy has been corrupted by Crimson power, and the difficulty of its initiation has been further weakened. Please specify the weakening requirement. Note: If the requirement cannot be further weakened, guidance will be provided.】

“So it weakens the initiation difficulty,” Su Chen understood. “It’s similar to the Great Venerable’s influence; its essence probably has the same effect. Tsk—”

Thinking this way, the Great Venerable’s influence is quite significant. Not to mention tiered professions, affecting special professions requires essence.

Every time he uses his influence, it’s like getting a Crimson essence for free.

Although it overlaps with the Great Venerable’s influence, it’s not entirely without purpose. The Great Venerable’s influence can weaken it once, and then the Crimson power can weaken it again.

The most crucial thing is that this can also specify requirements. He just doesn’t know what it means when it says a requirement cannot be further weakened.

Su Chen pondered silently. He chose the third requirement for the Fiery Blight Envoy.

【The third initiation requirement for the Fiery Blight Envoy has been weakened; only one minute of immersion is now required.】

“One minute?” Su Chen was surprised. After two successive weakenings, this requirement was almost nonexistent.

However, even so, the requirement still existed. After all, it was a weakening, not an erasure.

Su Chen thought, then looked at the next divine power.

“Then let’s go with Cunning Fox.”

His gaze fell, and the dark pink Cunning Fox power entangled the Fiery Blight Envoy.

【Fiery Blight Envoy has been corrupted by Cunning Fox power. The difficulty of initiation requirement three has increased; immersion in magma for more than half an hour is required. Upon fulfilling the requirement and initiating the profession, an additional reward will be granted.】

“Increasing difficulty to gain rewards, so that’s it—” Su Chen’s heart stirred with joy. All in all, he had only encountered similar situations twice so far. The first was for the 【Secret Crafter】, and the reward he received immediately upgraded the first secret tool he controlled.

The second was for the 【Soldierraiser】, which greatly reduced the consumption of the Soldierraiser.

“Although the rewards aren’t heaven-defying, they are very useful. Now I’ve found a way to continuously trigger them.” Su Chen felt increasingly happy; extra rewards always bring joy.

Striking while the iron was hot, Su Chen immediately experimented with the last Dark Plague power.

【Fiery Blight Envoy has been infected by Dark Plague power. A selected initiation requirement can be replaced with another requirement of comparable difficulty.】

“Replacing profession requirements?” Su Chen was surprised; this was a special reaction he had never triggered before.

“Replace—comparable difficulty—”

As he thought, he selected the second initiation requirement for the Fiery Blight Envoy.

【Fiery Blight Envoy initiation requirement two has been replaced: Merge the Shards of the Volcanic Core.】

Oh, it changed from defeating enemies to collecting items?

Su Chen’s eyes flickered. This kind of influence was interesting. Its conventional applicability wasn’t broad, but if he encountered a requirement that was truly difficult to fulfill, he could take a gamble.

“Su Chen.”

As he was thinking, his vision went black, and a sinister ghostly face suddenly appeared. Su Chen was startled, his lips moved, and he said, “Teacher—”

Xia Hanshi stared at him suspiciously. “No other feelings?”

The Court of Judgment’s detection procedure had ended, and naturally, there were no anomalies.

But Su Chen’s subtly changing expression still made Xia Hanshi, who had been watching him, realize that something was amiss.

“No, I was just thinking about Hong Xuan’s matter,” Su Chen lied.

“Hmm.” Xia Hanshi glanced at the test results again and nodded. “It’s good that there’s nothing wrong. You seem a bit tired; you should go back first.”

“Yes.” Su Chen stood up, greeted Teng Liang, and then left.

“Old Xia’s face, suddenly popping out like that, is really terrifying,” Su Chen muttered in his heart.

By the time he finished absorbing the Demonic God power, it was already noon. It was almost September, the artificial sun was blazing, and the air was getting increasingly hot.

“It seems that Crimson reduces difficulty, Cunning Fox increases difficulty for rewards, and Dark Plague replaces requirements.”

As he walked, Su Chen pondered, “Then their essence effects are probably similar.”

“However, these influences also conflict with each other. For example, the Cunning Fox power’s requirement to increase difficulty specifies that rewards are obtained only after fulfilling the requirement and initiating the profession. It cannot be erased by Faceless Ghost power or replaced by Dark Plague power.”

“If I want to maximize the use of these divine powers, how should I use them?”

He carefully calculated, “When integrating a profession, the first step is to use the influence, where the difficulty of a specific requirement will be weakened.”

“I can first use Faceless Ghost divine power to erase one, although it might erase an already weakened requirement, it’s better than affecting it with other divine powers only for it to be erased later.”

“If the weakened requirement isn’t erased, that’s best. Then I can use Crimson and Cunning Fox to influence it, one increasing and one decreasing, the difficulty remains the same, but with extra rewards.”

“If I encounter something that truly cannot be resolved, I will use Dark Plague power to take a gamble.”

“This should be a better approach.” Su Chen considered. As for encountering other Demonic God powers in the future, he would adjust the usage order then.

“Unfortunately, the demands influenced and created by Hei Tuo power are not considered profession requirements,” Su Chen regrettably noted.

“Since that’s the case, I should carefully plan how to use my two special professions and see how I can weaken the difficulty as quickly as possible to initiate them.”

“Su Chen!” Just as he was thinking, someone called out to him. He looked up and found himself already at his residence, where two people were waiting for him at the door.

“Brother Bu—” Su Chen looked at Bu Siqi, then at the middle-aged man with a weathered face beside him. His thoughts converged, “Is this Judge Qin Qingfeng?”

Bu Siqi nodded: “That’s right, this is Old Qin, whom I told you about. Currently, he’s the only one in our Court of Judgment, and even in Ying Feng, who has a record of profession fusion and is still alive.”

“Brother Qin—” Su Chen greeted him warmly. Myriad Manifestations still needed a profession fusion attempt. He had checked the data yesterday after returning and found that there was accidentally someone in the Court of Judgment who had undergone a profession fusion.

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare—” Qin Qingfeng repeatedly waved his hands, his face full of apprehension. Although profession fusion was quite rare, he was actually only a three-tier professional now.

The profession fusion had happened when he was in the first tier.

He currently worked in the logistics department.

When Su Chen went to get potions yesterday, he watched in amazement as this amiable young man forcefully claimed five Biyun Potions from the supervisor, who was so distressed that he didn’t eat dinner.

“Please come in, please come in.”

Su Chen opened the door and invited the two in, then instructed Zero to make tea, and only then did he ask about the profession fusion.

“To be honest, I didn’t even know it was profession fusion then—” Qin Qingfeng fell into recollection. “That was nearly twenty years ago. I was just a young man then, with brilliant silver talent, and I was quite sought after in my hometown.”

“Brilliant silver talent twenty years ago was already very impressive,” Su Chen said. At that time, Glorious Light was not yet widespread, and the threat of mutated species was more direct, with a dwindling population.

It was like a college student twenty years ago compared to how it is now.

Impressive? Qin Qingfeng looked at Su Chen with a wry smile. “At that time, I was so arrogant that I even thought about pursuing a dual profession, but my spiritual talent was only bronze. I easily initiated a first-tier profession, but a second-tier one took a lot of effort, and a third-tier one was completely impossible.”

As he spoke, he seemed a bit dazed. Su Chen was already a core talent in the Court of Judgment, with unmatched prestige, and yet so humble.

If he had had half of Su Chen’s mindset back then, and had focused on physical professions, perhaps he could have advanced to the fourth tier, instead of stagnating at the third.

“I’ve strayed—” Qin Qingfeng quickly brought himself back. “At that time, both my spiritual and physical professions were at the first tier. I became reckless and secretly ran out of the city to hunt mutated beasts.”

“I ended up encountering a pack of Azure Wind Wolves and was almost surrounded and killed. It was at that moment of despair that I vaguely felt my body and spirit merge into one, and my strength greatly increased, allowing me to break free from the encirclement.”

“Moment of despair—merging into one—” Su Chen frowned. “What exactly did that feeling like?”

Qin Qingfeng recalled carefully, his mouth opened and closed, then he finally uttered a few words, “It’s hard to describe.”

“Old Qin, aren’t you just stating the obvious?” Bu Siqi said exasperatedly.

Qin Qingfeng helpless, said: “How to put it, I compare spiritual power to water, and the body to a stone. That feeling was like water dissolving into the stone.”

“Afterwards, I tried to replicate it several times, but it was extremely difficult to do so, as if water was just water, and the stone had turned back into a stone.”

This crude analogy made Bu Siqi roll his eyes, but Su Chen seemed thoughtful. He remembered the feeling when he initiated the 【Inverse Originator】 profession.

Perhaps—the Inverse Originator has already laid a natural foundation for me. It might not be as difficult as I imagined to attempt a profession fusion, Su Chen thought to himself.

Many things are just a thin layer that needs to be broken through. Su Chen previously had no concrete concept of what so-called “profession fusion” was.

The official records only contained a few sentences of rather absurd theories, which were less useful than Old Qin’s analogies.

“Furthermore, I have an immature idea,” Qin Qingfeng whispered.

“Oh?” Su Chen looked over abruptly. Qin Qingfeng hurriedly said, “This is just my personal feeling.”

“Aiya, tell us. Nobody will blame you for something like this,” Bu Siqi urged. “In a weakened state, the barrier between the body and spirit might be somewhat reduced,” he whispered.

“Weakened state—” Su Chen made a note. No one wanted to get stronger. Old Qin probably tried many times in secret and accumulated some experience.

He thanked Old Qin again, which made the latter wave his hands repeatedly, “I just said a few words, it’s not worthy of thanks, not worthy of thanks.”

Su Chen couldn’t help but speculate how Hong Xuan had completed this requirement, and whether there were simpler ways, or even established systems, outside.

After seeing the two off, Su Chen went to the basement. The panel appeared, and he stared at the two special professions, continuing his previous thoughts.

“I only have one Faceless Ghost essence, but now that profession fusion is in sight, I can gamble with the Life Burner.”

Su Chen pondered for a moment, then first synthesized forty-five low-tier Cunning Fox divine powers into eleven mid-tier divine powers. This brought his total to twelve mid-tier Cunning Fox divine powers.

He then used nine of them to convert into Cunning Fox essence. Based on his estimate from the last Faceless Ghost essence conversion, it would take at least half a month.

As for the Cunning Fox essence he held, after much deliberation, he decided to use it on Myriad Manifestations’ first initiation requirement.

【Myriad Manifestations’ first initiation requirement difficulty has increased: Both previously initiated dual professions must be top-tier, with no disparity in dual profession talents. Upon fulfilling this requirement and initiating the profession, an additional reward will be granted.】

“Tsk—” Su Chen grinned as he read the description. The increase in difficulty was not small, but it was pretty much as he expected.

The reason he used it on the first requirement was also because he noticed that the root of this requirement lay in dual professions and talent disparity.

His main professions were all top-tier, and his talents were exceptionally balanced. Even with the increased difficulty, he still had a direct possibility of completing it.

If it were a specific talent requirement, he would have to consider it carefully. What if it was strengthened to something like Scarlet, then he could only use Crimson essence to revert it.

“Since that’s the case, the Crimson essence can be used on the second requirement.”

This was also why he used the Cunning Fox essence first. If he could still meet the first requirement, he could then free up the Crimson essence to try and weaken the profession fusion requirement.

No sooner said than done, Su Chen immediately activated the Crimson essence and selected Myriad Manifestations’ second initiation requirement.

【Myriad Manifestations’ second initiation requirement cannot be further weakened. A guidance has been received. Please attempt it when fully prepared.】

“Hmm?” Su Chen paused slightly. “So this is what they mean by a situation that cannot be weakened. Well, the fusion requirement only needs to be met once; it’s impossible to split it into half a time.”

“Is this guidance leading me to perform profession fusion?”

Su Chen speculated, unsure of the specific situation, and did not act rashly. Moreover, the description also emphasized for him to be well prepared.

“It’s better to try it twice independently first, accumulate some experience, and then use this guidance.”

Having thought it through, Su Chen set Myriad Manifestations aside and turned his attention to the Life Burner.

This profession was even more troublesome.

“Even if I use Crimson essence to weaken the difficulty, I estimate it would only reduce the lifespan burn from ten years to five years, roughly,” Su Chen frowned slightly.

Whether or not to use this ability after initiation would depend on the situation, but he definitely couldn’t sacrifice lifespan before initiation.
