My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 134

Chapter 134 The Bone Armor Bearer – Old Xia’s Past

“Could it be that Yuandu’s offerings are also meant to fulfill the job requirements?”

For a moment, Su Chen couldn’t sort out his thoughts, so he decided to put them aside for now. “When the people from Yuandu arrive, I’ll try to get in touch with them and see if I can learn anything.”

According to Old Sang, Yuandu is very far from Yingfeng, and one has to pass through the “White Sea,” an endless white ocean, which is very dangerous and has many powerful mutated creatures.

It would take a long time to reach.

“Even flying vehicles take so long, this planet seems much larger than Earth.” Su Chen opened his smart bracelet and reported to Chong Jingtian that Sang Hanhai had been sent off.

The other party replied with a thumbs-up, and Su Chen’s expression was strange as he returned directly to his residence.

The turmoil in the Tribunal gradually subsided, but the atmosphere throughout Yingfeng became increasingly oppressive. Many people keenly noticed that there were more Supervisory Guards patrolling the streets.

Moreover, City Patrol and Exploration Guards were also seen assisting, and their familiarity with Yingfeng was far beyond what the Tribunal could compare to. In some places, some people were already under their control.

Many black markets were raided, and many people were arrested, as if they were looking for something, causing widespread panic.

Seven or eight days later, Sang Hanhai sent him a message. The Holy Word Stone had finally arrived, and he was asked to come and see it.

“I wonder what profession this Holy Word Stone records…” Su Chen set off immediately, thinking along the way.

Upon arriving at the Translation Department, Sang Hanhai was in the middle of an experiment. Seeing him arrive in such a hurry, he couldn’t help but tease, “You’re really impatient, aren’t you? Want to freeload another profession?”

“Just curious,” Su Chen chuckled.

“Many professions may not be useful, or their usefulness is limited, or they can’t even be assumed,” Sang Hanhai put down his work and slowly strolled out of the laboratory, saying as he walked:

“I remember there was a profession whose ability was to turn water into blue after drinking it. Maybe there’s a profession that could make blue water more useful, but unfortunately, we haven’t found it yet.”

Su Chen followed behind Sang Hanhai and couldn’t help but ask, “How were these professions created? And many of the job requirements are quite idealistic. What exactly is supervising all of this?”

Unlike him, other people in this world don’t have a panel, but after learning the requirements of a certain profession and completing them, they would also feel something in their hearts.

However, if they don’t know the professional information and job requirements, even if they unknowingly complete them, they would be completely unaware. But if they later learn the relevant job requirements, the things they once did can be counted as completed, which is quite magical.

“If I knew, would I still be here?” Sang Hanhai glanced at him. “Professions are like the fundamental rules of the world, just like water freezes and people die.”

The issue of assuming professions is an old discussion. No one has discussed these things for a long time, not because they are not valuable, but because there is no answer.

“That Holy Word Stone is not my responsibility, it’s currently with Old Qin,” Sang Hanhai went downstairs and took Su Chen to another laboratory.

On the way, Su Chen looked up at the “Spirit Ring” still operating in the sky and asked softly, “I heard that Old Pu Zhenghong is your senior brother?”

“Heard?” Sang Hanhai said unhappily, “Didn’t Xia Hanshi tell you?”

“Uh…” Su Chen hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

“Heh…” Sang Hanhai sneered, “Your teacher and my senior brother are old friends.”

“But now they’ve fallen out and are estranged for life.”

Estranged for life? Su Chen was speechless. No wonder Old Xia was so surprised when he heard that he was getting involved with Sang Hanhai.

“Of course, that’s their business, and it doesn’t have much to do with us,” Sang Hanhai changed the subject. “You don’t need to take it too seriously.”

I still want to figure out where the symbols on the defensive spirit ring came from. They’re already estranged for life, so how can I inquire… Su Chen muttered to himself.

“What exactly caused it?” he asked tentatively.

Sang Hanhai sighed, “Those are old stories. Forty years ago, Xia Hanshi, Pu Zhenghong, Chong Jingtian… they were all good friends.”

“Xia Hanshi fought his way up from a lower city, overcoming many hardships, and only then did he become an inner court seed of the Tribunal. He was witty and humorous, and had a good reputation.”

Witty and humorous, can those four words be used to describe Old Xia?

Su Chen looked at that sinister old face and found it hard to imagine.

Sang Hanhai stopped, opened his smart bracelet, and brought up a picture, projecting it for Su Chen to see. “You haven’t seen your teacher when he was young, have you?”

It was a group photo of four people. The burly man in the center was clearly Chong Jingtian, much younger than he was now, with his head held high and an arrogant aura that emanated from the picture.

The chubby, round-faced, smiling and kind-faced man on the left, Su Chen didn’t have much impression of, but he was clearly not Old Xia.

The lean figure on the far right, with his head tilted back and his arms crossed, an intense gaze piercing through his tousled hair, could also be described as high-spirited.

“This… this is my teacher?” Su Chen pointed to the lean figure.

Sang Hanhai laughed, “I thought you wouldn’t recognize him. He’s different from how he is now, right?”

“Who is this woman?” Su Chen pointed to the woman standing between Chong Jingtian and Xia Hanshi. Her features were exquisite, and her black hair cascaded behind her head, giving her the air of a gentle elder sister.

Interestingly, Chong Jingtian and Xia Hanshi subtly tilted their bodies towards her, a body language that revealed something.

“Ji Rou…” Sang Hanhai’s expression became serious. “One of the inner court seeds back then.”

Su Chen’s expression was strange. Old Xia’s appearance made it difficult for him to associate any romantic drama with him, but it was clearly related.

“…With your clever mind, you should be able to guess some things, but they are all things of the past, and I’m too lazy to mention them,” Sang Hanhai put away the photo. “Back then, they discovered a ruin and found Qiongguang within it.”

“However, an accident occurred, and she was sealed in the ruins.”

“My teacher has been looking for talented people to save her?” Su Chen thought of what Old Xia had mentioned before and instantly understood.

“That’s right,” Sang Hanhai nodded and sighed, “My senior brother and the two others were cagey about what happened in there, but after that, the three of them almost went their separate ways.”

“Xia Hanshi changed the most, almost overturning his personality, becoming isolated, cold, and ruthless.”

The poor boy from the lower city – Xia Hanshi.

The intelligent and gentle big sister – Ji Rou.

The mature and reliable core seed – Chong Jingtian.

The honest and reserved researcher – Pu Zhenghong.

Su Chen could imagine hundreds of thousands of words detailing the entanglement of these four people.

Old Xia, Old Xia, I didn’t expect you to have this side to you, Su Chen muttered to himself, and then asked:

“So, that ruin still requires talented people to enter?”

“Yes, it’s a very mysterious ruin, seemingly recording some powerful profession…” Sang Hanhai shook his head. “Qiongguang was merely one of the rewards.”

Powerful profession? Could it be a Grand Lord? Su Chen couldn’t help but think, then said:

“So, the rumors spread that Old Xia has been searching for exceptionally talented people to explore the legendary profession, leading to their demise?”

The two had already arrived at another laboratory building. Sang Hanhai nodded upon hearing this. “That’s right, but the dangers within that ruin are not exaggerated.”

“Now it’s jointly managed by the four cities, with people regularly sent to explore, but there has been little success.”

“How did it become jointly managed by the four cities?” Su Chen was surprised. Didn’t Chong Jingtian and the others discover it?

“It’s quite complex, and it’s hard to explain in a few words.” Sang Hanhai led him upstairs. “Old Qin!”

As soon as he entered the lab, Sang Hanhai yelled at the top of his lungs.

“Why so loud? I’m not deaf,” an old man turned around and said irritably.

“Haha…” Sang Hanhai laughed loudly, “Isn’t it because we haven’t seen each other in a long time?”

“Su Chen?” Someone beside him called out, and it was Jin Yunxuan, dressed in a work uniform, with a complex expression.

“You’re here too…” Su Chen was quite surprised. Why was this guy everywhere?

“Old Qin is his teacher. If he’s not here, where else would he be?” Sang Hanhai turned his head.

“Oh, oh…” Su Chen suddenly understood and apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“No worries…” Jin Yunxuan waved his hands repeatedly, a hint of flattery in his expression.

Because of repeated contact, he paid much more attention to Su Chen than other members of the Translation Department, knowing that the other party had defeated Chu Xuan, and even had the unofficial title of “Chief Seed.”

This was a highly potential figure who could become the Chief Justice. In the entire Translation Department, only a few people could disregard him.

“He is Su Chen…” Qin Qiyuan also looked over, sizing him up with his eyes. “Can he really resonate with two Holy Word Stones in a row?”

“Why would I lie to you? Your student saw it with his own eyes. Where’s the new Holy Word Stone? Hurry up and let him try it,” Sang Hanhai urged.

Sang Hanhai’s status in the Translation Department was second to none, so Qin Qiyuan naturally didn’t say much. He opened the metal display cabinet next to him and took out the Holy Word Stone that had just arrived and hadn’t yet entered the decryption process.

“Quick, try it,” Sang Hanhai eagerly took it and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen took it and glanced at it.

[Discovered special profession – Bone Armor Bearer. Can be assumed after completing the requirements.]

[Requirement 1: Must have assumed no less than two top-tier melee fighter professions.]

[Requirement 2: Be attacked 10,000 times by a professional of the same tier without any defense.]

[Requirement 3: Merge with the Core of the Body Forging Ore Vein.]

A Bone Armor Bearer? It sounds like a defense-enhancing profession, and it seems to be the first time I’ve gotten a special profession related to combat, Su Chen thought.

Special professions do not require promotion, and their strength increases with the advancement of the main profession. Professions that directly increase combat power are quite rare.

The job requirements are not low, so it should be pretty good.

[The Bone Armor Bearer came aggressively, but seeing the majesty of the Red Flame Thunder God, decided to weaken the job requirements.]

[Job Requirement 2, the number of hits taken is reduced to 1,000.]

The number of hits is reduced, that’s good…

Su Chen frowned, gripping the Holy Word Stone tightly. Under the gaze of several people, he hesitated for a long time before saying, “I feel something, like there’s some kind of Body Forging Ore…”

“It’s not just a coincidence…” Sang Hanhai let out a long sigh of relief. Although it had resonated twice, he was still a little worried.

Qin Qiyuan looked at him suspiciously. He had thought that something different would happen, but it seemed quite ordinary.

Taking the Holy Word Stone, he immediately began to verify it. After more than half an hour, he spoke somewhat dazed, “It’s true, there really is such a person…”

“Haha…” Sang Hanhai beamed with satisfaction; he was the one who discovered this guy.

“Alas…” Qin Qiyuan sighed. “With a person like this, we might all be out of a job.”

Su Chen repeatedly said, “I can only vaguely sense it, it’s just an auxiliary role.”

“Old Qin, I told you your attitude is not good,” Sang Hanhai said disdainfully. “We are no longer primarily translating Holy Word Stones. We only find one every few months. Now we mostly translate technology and magic.”

“That’s also true.” Qin Qiyuan naturally understood, and had already learned of Su Chen’s existence from Jin Yunxuan, but witnessing it with his own eyes was still more impactful.

Sang Hanhai then said to Su Chen, “Next, you will assist Old Qin in deciphering. After deciphering, let him evaluate it and see what professions you need to exchange for.”

“Hmm…” Su Chen thought for a moment. “I don’t really have any professional needs at the moment. Do you have any recommendations?”

“Recommendations?” Sang Hanhai frowned. “If you ask me to recommend something at this moment, I really don’t have any ideas.”

“Given your current situation, instead of pursuing special professions, it’s better to increase your professional development.”

More professions are not necessarily better. The best scenario is to form multi-profession linkages to provide various enhancements. If there is no long-term benefit, it is best to develop the main profession when young.

“Tell me about your situation, and I’ll think about it…” Qin Qiyuan said. Sang Hanhai couldn’t possibly know all professions by heart, only the part he was responsible for deciphering.

“Don’t you know his situation?” Sang Hanhai asked in surprise.

“I’ve heard the name, but I haven’t had time to pay attention to the specific details,” Qin Qiyuan shook his head.

“I trouble you…” Su Chen pondered, then briefly explained the general situation, including his professional type, talent, and such, but vaguely mentioned his professional level.

“Dual professions… spirit is Mo Cui, physique is also Crimson Gold…” Qin Qiyuan pondered, “No wonder he’s so famous. I really do have a profession suitable for you.”

“Oh.” Su Chen became interested.

“The Reverse Elementalist,” Qin Qiyuan said, “This profession is very special. Its main ability can convert spiritual energy into physical strength, and physical strength into spiritual energy.”

Su Chen was stunned, his eyes instantly bursting with brilliance.

Turning health into mana, and mana into health, there’s such a heaven-defying profession?

“This profession…” Sang Hanhai frowned, “Such a powerful profession, and its versatility isn’t low. Why haven’t I heard of it?”

Although their respective areas of focus were different, he would certainly know about powerful professions.

“Don’t rush, I’m not finished,” Qin Qiyuan continued. “The difficulty of assuming this profession is one aspect, and there’s also a significant flaw.”

“After assuming the profession, your physical talent and spiritual talent will be forcibly averaged to the same level.”

“Furthermore, its professional abilities can only function when both professions are at the same tier and level.”

“Aren’t you trying to trick people?” Sang Hanhai shook his head repeatedly. “No wonder I haven’t heard of it, the limitations are too great.”

When they first arrived in Yingfeng, everyone thought Su Chen had dual Crimson Gold, but they still believed he couldn’t compare to Chu Xuan because talent determines the upper limit.

Lowering one’s talent is equivalent to self-weakening the upper limit, an ultimate trap.
