My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 211

Lin Yue was amused.

Wan Chen then added, “Even blasting his projection in the training room ten thousand times won’t change the fact that Su Chen has become the Chosen One.”

“There’s no need to seek superiority in this way. Uncle Lin is exceptionally wise, and it wouldn’t sound good if word got out…”

“Ha…” Lin Yue’s face grew increasingly ugly, but then she composed herself, saying expressionlessly, “Wan Chen, you are so pure, so brilliant…”

She had intended to explain, but with Wan Chen’s words, she lost that inclination. Instead, she realized.

Without having personally experienced it, no one would have imagined that Su Chen, emerging from Scarlet Thunder Star, would possess such formidable strength.

And this secret might bring certain benefits.

Watching Lin Yue’s retreating figure, Wan Chen was filled with emotion. Even Lin Yue was so unconvinced, even resorting to hitting phantoms to vent her anger.

The guys in the sect must also be holding a grudge.

He wondered if Su Chen would be able to keep this identity.

“If he can’t keep it, he has to find a way, otherwise it’s death.” His eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking, and he closed the door again.

Time on the spaceship was quite monotonous, consisting of nothing but training.

Aside from going to the training room every few days to attempt to break through the limits of his body cultivation method, Su Chen spent the rest of his time in his room, rarely going out.

He only occasionally ran into Wan Chen and the others, but they had little to say. However, Lin Yue’s gaze towards him subtly shifted. In the middle of the transit orbit, it was almost impossible to perceive changes in the external environment, much less the passage of time. Under these circumstances, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in his room, Su Chen stood within a Spirit Pressure Ring, lightning arcs surging around him. They no longer sparkled and flew, but transformed into viscous liquid energy, seeping into the纹理 of his skin.

Miniature rotating thunderstorms appeared deep within his pupils, and his sternum emitted a faint sound of jade colliding. His cells were incredibly active, and his muscles and bones throbbed with a dull ache.

His body underwent subtle strengthening and transformation.

After a long time, this change ended. Su Chen took a deep breath, and then exhaled, mixed with fragments of electric arcs, feeling quite light.

[Calamity Patrol Envoy development progress has reached 50%. Awakened ability—Calamity Seal: Condensed from Calamity power, it can be directly struck into the target’s body.]

“This ability…” Su Chen’s brow furrowed. It seemed to be used in conjunction with his other ability, Calamity Strike, which could detonate the Calamity power within a target.

However, Calamity power was accumulated within the target through combat.

And his battles were usually resolved quickly, with little extended engagement.

Calamity power had few use cases. Now, with an out-of-combat accumulation method, it could be added to burst damage, which was not bad.

“With multiple layers of叠加, this development efficiency is fast, increasing by 20% in just one month…” Su Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

It was like being a Tier 1 Professional again, feeling bodily changes every day, a joy beyond compare.

As for the Spirit Control Lord, its development progress was weaker, currently only at 45%.

“It’s a 100% difference in amplification, but this amplification is additive, not multiplicative. In practice, the difference in development is not too much…”

Putting away the Spirit Pressure Ring, Su Chen walked to the window. Outside was no longer the bizarre transit route, nor the hazy Nethermist.

Instead, it was a vast, empty darkness, with only scattered points of light.

A day ago, they had emerged from the Nethermist area and were now approaching the Equilibrium Hub.

“I thought I’d see a sky full of stars…” His eyes were somewhat unfocused, and he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

“Right, stars are essentially suns. This universe only has fireworks, so naturally, I can’t see anything.

The only thing that felt familiar to him were the occasional meteors streaking across the sky.

Looking down, not far away was a small landmass suspended in the empty darkness, the only light source nearby, enveloped in a glowing blue energy shield.

As the spaceship approached, it gradually enlarged, and the buildings on the landmass could vaguely be seen.

More striking were the spaceships constantly docking and departing, their various tail flames interweaving, yet utterly silent.

“Interstellar hub… tsk tsk…” Su Chen watched intently. He had never had the chance to see something like this in his previous life.

At the same time, in Lan Hao’s room, a blurry virtual projection was outlined by the surrounding equipment.

“Father…” Lan Hao stood to the side, his head bowed, feeling somewhat nervous and fearful.

On one hand, it was because he had been entrusted with high hopes but had not become the Chosen One of the Crimson Flame Responding Thunder Dao Master.

On the other hand, it was because he had been tortured by Deific Believers on that eerie planet, leaking two professions and some secrets.

“Hmm.” Lan Hai’s reaction was very calm. He glanced at his somewhat timid son and said, “Why are you only contacting me now? I summoned you many times with the Underworld Stone, but there was no response?”

“Uh…” Lan Hao’s eyes flickered. He didn’t dare to look up and stammered, “Something unexpected happened. I lost that Underworld Stone.”

“Lost it?” Lan Hai frowned, “What kind of accident? How could the Underworld Stone be lost?”

“It’s a bit complicated to explain. Qing Cang was watching closely, so I didn’t dare to use it near him. I ventured deep into the Nethermist and encountered several powerful mutated creatures, accidentally losing it.” He explained.

Lan Hai narrowed his eyes. Although he felt something was off, it wasn’t a major issue, so he skipped the topic and asked, “Are you approaching the Equilibrium Hub?”

“Yes, we’re close now.” Lan Hao quickly said, “Only by utilizing the communication network of the Equilibrium Hub can I contact you.”

“How is that Su Chen?” Lan Hai asked, getting to the point.

“Su Chen?” Lan Hao couldn’t help but snort coldly, “He’s just lucky. His compatibility with the Crimson Flame Responding Thunder Dao Master is too high, so he got something for nothing.”

“Got something for nothing? Then why didn’t you ‘get something for nothing’?” Lan Hai, hearing this, was somewhat displeased. “How many times have I told you not to underestimate anyone?”

Lan Hao’s expression changed slightly, but he dared not retort, merely lowering his head.

Lan Hai didn’t reprimand him too much, instead saying, “However, this person has caused a huge stir within the sect.”

Lan Hao couldn’t help but look up again and asked, “What do the higher-ups think?”

“What do they think? Qing Cang even calls him Junior Brother. What else is there to think? The higher-ups won’t express their stance.” Lan Hai shook his head, calmly saying, “Without the protection of an Ancient King, if he came to the sect, he would probably be driven to death within ten days.”

“But the Ancient King can’t protect him all the time, right?” Lan Hao subtly expressed.

“Indeed…” Lan Hai nodded and said leisurely, “Even with the Ancient King’s protection, being considered a half-disciple, without a foundation, it’s like a castle in the air, unstable.”

“So…” A hint of joy appeared on Lan Hao’s face.

“Do you think your sister is a good match for him?” Lan Hai’s tone changed.

“My… sister?” Lan Hao’s face stiffened. It took him a moment to react, utterly incredulous, “You want to marry my sister to him?”

“This, this… how can that be!”

“Why not?” Lan Hai retorted.

“It just can’t be! What qualifications does he have? He… he…” Lan Hao stammered, but couldn’t articulate a clear reason.

“You and he, have a conflict?” Lan Hai had long since noticed this point and asked unhurriedly.

“This…” Beads of sweat broke out on Lan Hao’s forehead.

“Speak.” Lan Hai uttered a single word, but it landed in Lan Hao’s ears like a clap of thunder.

This matter could not be concealed. Lan Hao could only helplessly recount the entire story.

But the imagined fury did not occur. Lan Hai pondered, “To remain calm upon first contact with you and detect your intentions, this person is indeed as astute as Qing Cang said.”

Lan Hao was stunned. Was his father praising Su Chen?

He felt increasingly uncomfortable.

“It doesn’t involve life and death, so it’s not a big deal. Just apologize to him and clear things up.” Lan Hai said nonchalantly.

“I apologize to him?” Lan Hao’s eyes widened.

Lan Hai said calmly, “He is the remnant disciple of Venerable Chi Yang, a half-disciple of the Ancient King, and Qing Cang calls him Junior Brother. In terms of seniority, even I have to call him Uncle.”

“Do you think he isn’t qualified?”

“But…” Lan Hao couldn’t help but finally speak his mind, “Who knows how long he’ll live?”

“As long as he lives, his identity remains.” Lan Hai noticed Lan Hao’s resistance was unusually strong, and he frowned, “Don’t you understand? Su Chen has no foundation. If he marries into our Lan family, he becomes a Lan family member.”

“So you want to adopt a son,” Lan Hao muttered.

“Foolish!” Lan Hai couldn’t help but yell, “How can personal grievances be placed above family interests? Once he becomes a Lan family member, has children, and truly attains the Morning Star rank, he can protect our Lan family’s immortality for hundreds of years.”

“His sacred profession will also remain with our Lan family, becoming a foundation. Where else can you find such a good deal?”

“In other words, among our family, who else do you think has the ability to compete for the position of the Chosen One?”

“Just because of your small conflict and resentment, if you kill Su Chen, what good does it do us? It only benefits others. Why do something like that?”

Lan Hai spoke very directly.

Lan Hao vaguely understood, half comprehending, half not, and couldn’t help but ask, “So, are we supposed to protect Su Chen now?”

“We should accept him, but not yet.” Lan Hai shook his head, offering a different opinion, “Currently, undercurrents are surging within the sect. Everyone believes he is unworthy of his position. If we rush to his defense now, we will only be targeted similarly.”

“He needs to withstand the initial period, at least to make the conflict less intense, then he will be valuable, and we can make our move.”

Lan Hao was thoughtful, his inner resistance somewhat lessened. He mainly realized that in his father’s eyes, Su Chen was essentially still a pawn.

“But for now, you might as well cultivate a good relationship with him. Temporary gains and losses are nothing.” He said earnestly.

Lan Hao nodded solemnly. For some reason, the scenes from when he arrived at Scarlet Thunder Star flashed before his eyes, and he realized how much he had truly experienced.

It was just that his eyes had been blinded by unwillingness and resentment, accumulated in his heart. Now, with his father’s guidance, he felt he had grown a lot.

Thinking carefully, that minor conflict with Su Chen was really nothing.

“It’s good you understand. You still have some time before returning to the sect, but after you arrive, you should keep your distance from him.” Lan Hai saw that he had finally come to his senses and nodded with satisfaction. Going out to gain experience truly tempered one’s character.

After receiving Qing Cang’s notification, he needed to give some instructions before entering the Equilibrium Hub.

Su Chen tidied himself up a bit and then left his room. At the stairwell, he ran into Lan Hao.

Su Chen didn’t think much of it. He had encountered him a few times before, and Lan Hao always acted as if he wasn’t there, which Su Chen was happy about for the peace and quiet.

.

But this time, it was different. The moment he saw him, a smile appeared on Lan Hao’s face, and he naturally called out, “Su Chen…”

Thinking to himself, he walked up,

a wry smile, “By seniority, I should call you Grandmaster, but I really can’t bring myself to. Please don’t mind.”

Opening with that made him seem somewhat candid.

Su Chen was surprised and shook his head, “Let’s just address each other as we are.”

Lan Hao nodded, and the two walked up the stairs together. He sighed again and sincerely said, “I still need to apologize for trying to incite you against Wan Chen earlier.”

This guy… wised up?

Su Chen glanced at Lan Hao in surprise, not believing that the other party had truly seen the light.

However, based on Lan Hao’s original personality, even a feigned gesture of politeness would be difficult for him to utter.

Lan Hao continued, “I was simply too focused on the Crimson Flame Responding Thunder Great Venerable before, which led to that desperate measure.”

“It wasn’t a big deal.” Su Chen shook his head, sticking to his old method. Since he didn’t know what the other party was up to, he’d just go along with it for now.

“What’s more, you even gave me the Spirit Pressure Ring, which helped me a lot.”

“It’s good that you didn’t take it to heart.” Lan Hao breathed a sigh of relief and added, “There’s still some time before we return to the sect. If you need anything or have any questions on the way, feel free to ask.”

“Oh…” Su Chen’s heart stirred. More benefits coming his way? Whatever the other person’s intentions, he’d take the benefits first.

“For a moment, I really can’t think of anything I need.”

Su Chen said with a smile. The two chatted as they walked, arriving at the bridge.

Wan Chen, hearing movement, turned around and saw Su Chen and Lan Hao conversing happily, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Wan Chen.” Lan Hao greeted.

Wan Chen responded calmly, vaguely feeling that this guy seemed different.

“Everyone’s here…” Lin Yue came up from behind and greeted everyone. Seeing Lan Hao and Su Chen standing together, a thought crossed her eyes.

The bridge door opened with a hum, and Wan Chen walked in first, followed closely by Lan Hao. But Su Chen was stopped by Lin Yue, who tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “This Lan Hao, he has a big head and a thick neck. He’s being nice to you, but he’s definitely up to no good. Be careful.”

Lan Hao, who was two steps ahead of them, stiffened. He scoffed inwardly, disinclined to bicker with this woman.

Then, a suspicion arose. How did this woman get so close to Su Chen?

Could the Lin family also be thinking the same as his father?

This Lin Yue… Su Chen pulled back his clothes, silently speechless, and then walked into the bridge.

Qing Cang frowned slightly. On the metal table before him, a miniature projection of the Equilibrium Hub slowly rotated.

Xia Jie stood to one side, speaking gravely, “Since half a month ago, the Equilibrium Hub has been undergoing a month-long course adjustment. The stargate is temporarily closed, so we’ll have to stay here for at least ten days.”
