My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Two Professions: Who Doesn’t Give Face to My Great Venerable?

“This…” Su Chen declined, “It’s not that I don’t want to go, but I just started working at the Tribunal, and there are too many things to do. I really can’t get away.”

“Brother Su…” Pang Xingwen gritted his teeth and said with a bitter smile, “Before, I was ignorant and failed to recognize your eminence. I beg you not to take it to heart. I implore you to come, and give me a chance to atone for my sins!”

The more the other party wanted him to go, the more suspicious Su Chen became, staring at Pang Xingwen without a word.

“Brother Su, I know you’re angry…” Pang Xingwen was annoyed, wanting to turn and leave, but he thought of his father.

He took a deep breath, and his voice even carried a hint of a whine. He leaned his face forward, “Brother Su, if you’re not appeased, just slap me.”

_This must be a malicious ploy_, Su Chen thought, _this is not meant to resolve any misunderstanding._

Pang Xingwen was trying to corner him. If he slapped him, it would be a situation of endless animosity. Had his father really sent him to invite him?

“No need.” Su Chen shook his head and sighed, “It’s tomorrow night, right? I understand.”

Knowing is one thing, going is another.

A hint of joy appeared on Pang Xingwen’s face. He immediately said, “Good, good. My father will be waiting for you tomorrow. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

He left in a hurry, as if he had completed some kind of mission.

“The Pang family… Zhou Xian, it can’t be…” Su Chen frowned.

Closing the door, he returned to his bedroom, walked into the walk-in closet, and released his spiritual power to carefully penetrate every crevice, ensuring there were no surveillance devices.

Then, his hair gradually receded, transforming into a Black Tuo Priest.

He had already asked Gu Bing earlier. The Tribunal did have means to detect the power of Guiding within a certain range, but they couldn’t detect its followers.

As soon as he transformed, Su Chen’s eyelids twitched, “North, south, west, all have… fluctuations similar to Guyi, yet not quite the same, and very fuzzy, only able to sense the general direction…”

Ying Feng was vast, and it was inevitable for people from the Guiding cult to be active in such a place. Su Chen had long anticipated this.

But he didn’t expect to feel three fluctuations within his sensory range alone, not to mention other Guiding and even further afield.

“Moreover… my perception is greatly weakened, making it difficult to even pinpoint directions.” Su Chen reverted, muttering to himself.

It was not quite what he had expected. After being promoted to priest, the range of his perception had widened and should have become more precise.

“It’s because Ying Feng has something that can capture the fluctuations of the Guiding, so they’ve also used some means to obscure it… causing my perception to weaken.” Su Chen hesitated:

“In that case, it’s hard to determine the situation of the Pang family.”

“Forget it, I’ll just hide for now.” Su Chen thought for a moment and simply returned to his old ways.

Who could do anything to him while he was in the Tribunal?

With the thought of staying low, the world feels vast.

“However, I still need to inform Old Xia.”

Su Chen walked out of the dressing room. The gravity room and the spirit communicators hadn’t been installed yet. He only did a light workout, then went to bed to rest, and also told Zero what he wanted for breakfast tomorrow morning.

The next day, around five or six o’clock, Zero went out to the cafeteria to get breakfast, while the core seed could just wait at home.

“So delicious?”

Su Chen looked at the white porridge in front of him, emitting wisps of white steam. It looked simple, but with one bite, it was fresh, fragrant, tender, and smooth.

He took a bite of the meat bun beside it, and the juice burst in his mouth, making his taste buds dance, and even his cells became more active.

“This is rice planted in an isolation room, never exposed to outside mist, and cooked by a senior chef. The meat is from a Tier 2 Green Boar, domesticated for many years, extremely delicious, and has the ability to activate cells,” Zero explained.

“Food that has never been exposed to mist, and a senior chef…” Su Chen was relieved. A senior chef can perfectly unleash the characteristics of food and create the ultimate taste.

It is said that master chefs can use high-grade ingredients to create food that has the effect of a potion.

“Nanfeng doesn’t have such conditions…” Su Chen sighed even more about the extravagance of life. Fortunately, he was enjoying it himself, otherwise, he would have to sharply criticize it.

After eating the delicious food, Su Chen’s mood improved significantly, while Zero was compiling information from the Tribunal.

“…Because the Chief Justice exceptionally recruited two core seeds yesterday, it has already caused considerable commotion internally.”

“…The mainstream opinion is that if exceptional talent can warrant an exception, then why not just cancel the assessment altogether? Just classify based on talent: Bronze in the outer court, Brilliant Silver in the inner court…”

“…Some people are also attacking you, claiming that you altered your information and were once a vagrant…”

“Wait…” Su Chen, who was eating, couldn’t help but interrupt, “Where did you get this information?”

“On the internal forum of the Tribunal, I’ve summarized the messages for you. You can also view them individually, Master.” Zero projected a virtual screen.

“Never mind, just summarize it.” Su Chen waved his hand. Zero really saved him a lot of effort.

“…The Chief has already spoken, and the exception is a done deal. What’s the point of doing this? The Chief can’t possibly retract it.” Su Chen pondered.

Zero suddenly spoke again, “Master, the Internal Affairs Department has sent a message that they will be installing the gravity training room and the spirit communicator today. Should I allow it?”

“Permit it…” Su Chen’s eyes lit up, “Old Xia is really efficient.”

After dinner, Du Yu sent a message saying that he was delivering his clothes and some other personal items.

Su Chen had Zero get him a temporary pass, and not long after, there was a knock at the door.

“So fast?” Su Chen went to open the door, but standing outside was a stranger, well-dressed, and what was most striking were his black and white pupils.

This also confirmed his identity to Su Chen.

Ming Lin… Su Chen’s eyes shifted. This person was the only墨翠級天賦 among the four core seeds mentioned before.

Yesterday, Gu Bing specifically mentioned him, and he was also the one Zhang Yunqing said invited him to the banquet.

But today, he personally came to visit.

It is said that his profession is unusual, hence his black and white eyes. He should now be a third-tier professional, very close to the fourth-tier.

“Brother Su…” Ming Lin was very amiable, holding a bottle of grayish-yellow wine in his hand. “I hope I’m not disturbing you by showing up unannounced.”

“Not at all. Please come in.” Su Chen stepped aside respectfully, “I didn’t know you were coming, so I didn’t prepare anything.”

“This isn’t good wine either.” Ming Lin smiled as he sat at the dining table, scanning the large meat bun on the plate. He said in surprise, “Coincidentally, Green Boar meat? It goes best with this wine…”

“This wine is mild and delicate, suitable for morning consumption. It can stimulate mental activity.”

Tsk… he knew what I had for breakfast when he came, so impressive.

Su Chen understood that the other party was showing off, but he didn’t care. He took the wine from him and had Zero pour two glasses.

The two exchanged a few complimentary remarks. Seeing that Su Chen never asked him why he came, Ming Lin adjusted his evaluation of Su Chen. This was a very patient person.

He stopped rambling and got straight to the point, “However, you two caused quite a stir yesterday. Two core seeds were added out of nowhere, and the internal power structure of the Tribunal is probably going to be reshuffled.”

“I’ve heard a little.” Su Chen said helplessly, “I repeatedly declined, but the Chief Judge was resolute, so there was nothing I could do.”

And shamelessly, Ming Lin’s expression almost gave away. His teacher was there, how could he not know the specific situation.

He could only sigh and agree, “Excellent people should enjoy better resources, as it should be.”

Perhaps feeling that what he said was a little disgusting, Ming Lin quickly changed the subject and lowered his voice, “”The four core seeds changed to six. The other three old guys are very displeased and are inciting their subordinates to stir up trouble.”

“But, you must not get involved.”

Su Chen’s eyes flickered, and he said with a half-smile, “They are displeased, and you are pleased?”

“They became core seeds earlier, and their talents are only at the Crimson Gold level. Naturally, they sense a crisis. But you, I, and Chu Xuan, all of us are of the Moyun level, and we are of the same class.” Ming Lin smiled, full of confidence:

“With competition comes progress.”

Su Chen praised, “What broad-mindedness! I think the position of Chief Judge belongs to you.”

Spouting nonsense, Ming Lin waved his hands repeatedly, constantly adjusting his perception of Su Chen, feeling that this guy was already somewhat tricky.

“That Chu Xuan, even before entering the Tribunal, had already gathered a large number of forces. He seemed to be gaining momentum, but he also became a target.” Ming Lin shook his head, “Many of his subordinates have already been drawn into it, stirring up public opinion and resisting.”

“At a loss of what to do.” Su Chen pointed out.

Still very smart… Ming Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded, “That’s right. His subordinates are all new recruits this term, without enough foundation. Once they clash with the veterans, if he can’t resolve it, he’ll lose face.”

Leaders and bosses represent not only benefits but also responsibilities.

If you can’t handle things for your subordinates, who will fight for you?

Ming Lin tried to praise him, “You’re still smart, Brother. You’re all alone, watching from the sidelines, and no one can do anything to you.”

“I didn’t think that much, I just don’t want to bother dealing with others.” Su Chen chuckled.

Ming Lin couldn’t figure out Su Chen’s thoughts for a while, whether he was genuinely reluctant to recruit people, or if he was biding his time.

He came with a certain intention to win him over, but Su Chen was as smooth as a ball, which made him unsure how to speak.

However, he didn’t expect to win over the other party with a few words. Such a talent truly needed to be slowly assimilated.

The right time, right place, and right people were all indispensable.

So, he decided to release enough goodwill during this meeting.

“Brother Su and I have similar ideas, but unfortunately… I can’t go back to being self-reliant.” Ming Lin forced a bitter smile, then said:

“The pattern of the four core seeds has been established for a long time. Although it has its shortcomings, it’s generally acceptable.”

“However, with the popularization of the Qiongguang system, the population has exploded, and more and more talented people have emerged.”

“In these years, there are more than thirty Crimson Gold tiers accumulated in the inner court alone.”

Su Chen thought thoughtfully, in the past, when the population was small, the Crimson Gold level was cherished as if it might melt if held in hand.

But now, Crimson Gold talents appear every session, and three of the four core seeds are Crimson Gold level, which makes it somewhat unconvincing.

Ming Lin continued, “But the advantage of those guys is that they became core seeds early, and they have already gathered a large number of forces around them.”

“Even the Chief can’t directly revoke their qualifications. They can only make an exception to increase the number of core seed positions.”

Su Chen understood what the other party meant. Time was an advantage. Even though they were both Crimson Gold tier, they were older, stronger, and more influential, so others couldn’t get ahead. Ming Lin sighed, “The established order has become stagnant water, but beneath this stagnant water, it is turbulent. The Chief has been looking for a better way to change the situation.”

“It seems that they have subtly found a way, and you two are the catalyst. Just wait for the results.”

This was not a hint, but almost an explicit statement: the internal structure of the Tribunal was about to undergo a major change, and for now, doing nothing was the best course of action.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, then sincerely said, “Thank you for the reminder. I understand.”

Noticing that Su Chen had accepted his goodwill, Ming Lin chatted for a couple more sentences and prepared to leave.

Su Chen then stopped him, “Brother Ming, I’m about to choose an advanced profession, but I don’t know where to choose. Could you take me there?”

“Of course, no problem.” Ming Lin smiled, accepting the goodwill Su Chen was showing.

The two went out, chatting casually along the way. Ming Lin introduced him to the general situation of the other three core seeds, as well as their personalities.

In the morning at the Tribunal, there were many people coming and going. Su Chen roughly estimated that at least five out of ten people would greet Ming Lin.

Among those five, two or three were quite respectful.

“This is it…”

The two stopped in front of a silver-white building, heavily guarded outside. The aura emanating from those guards made even Su Chen feel a sense of dread.

“You go in yourself, I don’t have the authority.” Ming Lin said, “It’ll probably take a while to choose, so I’ll be going now.”

After exchanging contact information, Su Chen showed his identification and entered.

“Not a single simple person here, sigh… Why aren’t there more idiots like Pang Xingwen?” Su Chen ascended the steps, sighing with emotion.

The hall was quite empty, with only a reception desk manned by a mechanical puppet. As soon as Su Chen approached, she spoke:

“Core Seed Su Chen, you still have two opportunities to exchange for a Tier 3 profession, with a maximum of Tier 3高级. One for physique, one for spirit. Please use them carefully.”

“As expected, two types. Old Xia is efficient.” Su Chen grinned.

On the way here, Ming Lin had given him a brief introduction that career choices, seemingly simple, were actually extremely complex.

One had to consider whether previously held professions were compatible, whether future professions could lead far enough, and also one’s own situation, age, and so on.

Generally, before making a choice, one would consult an analyst for careful study to determine the best option.

He had already had Sang Hanhai analyze his physical body, and without hesitation, he immediately called out the name: “For the physical side, I want to be a Swift Wind Thunderbringer.”

“Swift Wind Thunderbringer, Tier 3 Advanced. Currently retrieving, please check…”

A virtual screen appeared before Su Chen, with lines of text flowing across it.

[Discovered Tier 3 Advanced Profession – Swift Wind Thunderbringer. Requirements must be met for promotion.]

[Promotion Requirement 1: Elevate three E-grade body tempering methods to Master level.]

[Promotion Requirement 2: Infiltrate a building guarded by a Tier 3 and remain undetected, using three different methods.]

[Promotion Requirement 3: In a thunderstorm area, envelop yourself in lightning elements and persist for over an hour.]

Three requirements were listed in abundance.

“Tsk… the difficulty has increased, it’s just an advanced level, but it requires three professions.” Su Chen sighed.

The first requirement is fairly standard, but the second one is a bit tricky. The higher the rank, the more complex the composition of strength. Not being discovered, and three times at that, is quite difficult.

“Moreover, this requirement is highly subjective. If you’re discovered, you’re discovered. Finding people you know isn’t easy.” Su Chen considered, “And the last one, in a thunderstorm area, enveloped in lightning elements, a living lightning rod.”

The difficulty is not low, but he is not anxious. Regardless of the panel’s existence, Ming Lin mentioned on the way.

When their core seeds are promoted, the Tribunal will send a team according to the requirements, formulate a plan, and make multiple attempts.

“For the spiritual side, I need to be an Arcaneweave Master…” Su Chen said again. As soon as his voice fell, the panel suddenly popped up—

[The Swift Wind Thunderbringer came with an arrogant gaze, but upon seeing the sitting Red Flame Thunder God, he was greatly shocked. Flattering and fawning, he found that the Great Venerable remained silent. After much thought, he decided to weaken the promotion requirements.]

[Promotion Requirement 2: Reduced to one infiltration method.]

[Promotion Requirement 3: Reduced to staying in a thunderstorm area for half an hour.]

“Ha…” Su Chen couldn’t help but laugh out loud. With an arrogant gaze, a Tier 3 advanced, compared to his other occupied professions, he could indeed be arrogant, but unfortunately…

The further weakening of the application requirements is naturally good news. Su Chen came back to his senses and heard the mechanical puppet’s voice.

“Sorry, you cannot choose a new profession if the viewing time does not exceed twenty minutes.”

“Just these few lines of text, and I have to watch for twenty minutes? Are they afraid I won’t remember?” Su Chen was speechless and could only wait there.

After the time elapsed, he brought up the Arcaneweave Master.

[Discovered Tier 3 Advanced Profession – Arcaneweave Master. Requirements must be met for promotion.]

[Promotion Requirement 1: Elevate three E-grade meditation methods to Master level.]

[Promotion Requirement 2: Persist in the Whispering Trial for over an hour.]

[Promotion Requirement 3: Independently design three elemental abilities with at least Tier 2 strength.]

“Whispering Trial, having to endure it for an hour, what the hell…”

Other things are fine. Even with designing elemental abilities independently, with the help of his physical profession, it’s not a big problem for him. But that Whispering Trial is too weird.

He looked forward to the panel, and sure enough, it didn’t disappoint him—

[The Arcaneweave Master approached cautiously, but seeing the sitting Red Flame Thunder God, he respectfully greeted him. The Great Venerable paid no mind, and after much thought, decided to slightly weaken the promotion requirements.]

[Promotion Requirement 3: Reduced to designing one elemental ability.]

“Why didn’t the Whispering Trial get reduced? This Arcaneweave Master is quite cunning.”

Su Chen muttered. This guy was obviously smarter than the Swift Wind Thunderbringer, and the Great Venerable hadn’t moved at all in these two instances; it was purely the two of them thinking on their own.

“Weakening is better than not weakening…”

With two professions in hand, Su Chen had achieved his goal and was ready to leave.

“Sorry, you cannot leave until the viewing time has reached twenty minutes.”

The door was tightly shut. Su Chen turned back helplessly. “Perfect, I still have a low-tier Ghoul Power. Who should I use it on?”

Su Chen calculated, “My spiritual talent is higher than my physical talent, plus that spirit communicator, I’ll probably reach Tier 3 faster.”

“Then I’ll be an Arcaneweave Master.”

Su Chen didn’t think for too long before making a decision.

[The Arcaneweave Master was tainted by the Ghoul Power, and his body swelled. However, due to his own limitations, he could only be stuck halfway.]

[Acquire three “Arcane Energy Crystal” to transform the Arcaneweave Master into a top-tier profession.]

“Again, improving professional level?” Su Chen stroked his chin, “Could it be that the power of Guiding is specifically for improving professional level? Or is it just the characteristic of Heituo’s power, and the changes brought by the power of other Guiding are different…”

Without more Guiding power, he could only guess. As for the Arcane Energy Crystal, he had never even heard of it and could only go back and check some information.

“According to Ming Lin, I can also order a weapon equipment of no more than Tier 3 rank at the Crafting Department.”

Twenty minutes hadn’t passed yet. Su Chen remembered this and tried to open his smart bracelet, but found that the virtual screen wouldn’t pop up.

“Warning, no electronic devices are allowed in the professional storage area.” The mechanical puppet said impolitely.

“Alright…” Su Chen shrugged. Once the time was up, he’d leave through the door. Only then could he open his smart bracelet and access the Tribunal’s internal network to find his weapon customization authority.

A large page popped up, with three choices—

[Attack], [Defense], [Aid]

“I have Azure Rope for attack, and scales for defense…” Su Chen mused. The mystical tools he controlled had a unique advantage; the ability buff wasn’t just a simple attachment, but a complete fusion.

So he was only going to upgrade his current weapons, not replace them.

“In that case, let’s start with auxiliary equipment…” Su Chen walked, pressing the button, and a new page popped up—

[Necklace], [Ring], [Belt]…

“Getting a little familiar now…” Su Chen’s curiosity grew, and he clicked to view each one.

“There are those for building mental defense, those for assisting in increasing elemental control, and those for mental attacks. It’s really quite complex…”

Su Chen walked and browsed, his mind filled with thoughts. “I need to find something that can amplify my biggest advantage…”

His biggest advantage was not strength, nor burst damage, but speed.

Wind and lightning both greatly increase speed. Since Tier 1, it has constantly been reinforced. Now, if it’s purely about speed, Zhou Xian might not even be able to catch up to him.

“Shadow Wind Boots, engraved with Shadow Stealth, swift wind carvings, can accept regular elemental energy, boosting self-speed by up to double… and comes with a certain concealment ability.”

Su Chen locked onto his target and didn’t hesitate, immediately placing the order.

…..

At the same time, Pang Xingwen was cautiously looking at his father and said in a low voice, “That’s what he said. I’ve already mentioned your name, and if nothing goes wrong, he’ll definitely come tonight.”

“Hmm.” Father Pang glanced at him and said indifferently, “You were with Chu Yunze and the others last night?”

“Hmm.” Pang Xingwen nodded and explained, “The celebration party wasn’t over yet, and they insisted on dragging me back.”

“Chu Xuan… try to build a good relationship with him.” Father Pang nodded.

Pang Xingwen nodded in agreement, “Those core seeds have already sensed the challenge and are secretly causing trouble. Chu Xuan needs us to share the pressure.”

“Go.” Father Pang had no desire to talk further and waved him away.

Pang Xingwen left with his head down.

“Your son is too stupid. That guy probably won’t come.” Someone walked out of the shadows, and to his horror, his face had no features, and his voice came from nowhere.

“I actually wanted him not to come.” Father Pang’s tone was cold. “If we brought him here and secretly attacked him, my Pang family would be instantly wiped out.

“The People of Black Tuo are desperate, but I don’t want to be the price. Yesterday was just a show.”
