My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Step-by-step, Su Chen’s Origin?

“Tsk, tsk…”

Ming Lin saw Su Chen’s lack of interest and showed an intriguing expression. “It seems that the Yuandu Divine Son doesn’t catch your eye either.”

When he first met Su Chen, he really thought Su Chen was a quiet person, indifferent to battles and competitions.

Later, as he got to know Su Chen better, and after the battle with Chu Xuan.

Ming Lin gradually realized that Su Chen wasn’t indifferent, but rather didn’t see them as opponents at all—it was a thorough disregard.

“Stop imagining things…” Su Chen said speechlessly, then asked, “Have you ever heard of something called a Forging Life Ore Vein and a Star of the Void?”

“Never heard of it.” Ming Lin shook his head, his eyes subtly flickering. “I don’t have time to care about such things. Did you find another good profession?”

“I heard someone say you went to the translation department again today.”

“You’re well-informed.” Su Chen saw that he didn’t know and immediately lost interest in talking.

“What good profession? Tell me about it, I can give you some advice.” Ming Lin grinned.

In addition to the main professions that climb in rank, special professions are also extremely useful, as they can link with the main profession to greatly enhance combat power.

Some special professions might seem powerful on the surface but have many pitfalls upon employment, while others that seem unremarkable can shine when paired with other professions.

There are also some that are truly powerful, but the difficulty of obtaining them is high, and they take a long time, making them unsuitable for wasting one’s talent in their youth.

This requires highly experienced people who know a lot about professions to help select the most suitable ones.

Such people only exist in the Translation Department, and they must be at the old professor level, making it difficult for Ming Lin to please them.

But Su Chen, that guy, was so good at pleasing old men. After Sang Hanhai came last time, he understood that Su Chen must have gained a lot in the Translation Department.

“There aren’t that many good professions.” Su Chen shook his head and said with a chuckle, “However, what profession are you willing to trade with me?”

“I actually have a good profession.” Ming Lin lowered his voice. “This is a profession not even recorded in the Translation Department. I obtained it a long time ago from a certain gathering place.”

There really is something good?

Su Chen was surprised. There were many professions not recorded by the Translation Department. He even heard that someone in Yingfeng had privately deciphered Holy Word Stones, collecting powerful professions to use as family heritage.

Ming Lin saw Su Chen’s interest and said, “Roughly speaking, it’s called the [Glutton]. It allows you to ingest a large amount of highly nutritious substances in advance, which can then be quickly digested during battle to restore stamina and heal injuries.”

Su Chen’s eyes lit up. This profession was quite good. Coupled with [Reverser], he could even convert stamina into spiritual power, which would be even more useful for him.

“Good, very versatile.” Su Chen nodded.

“So, stop hiding it.” Ming Lin couldn’t help but say, “You definitely have some in stock. I heard that when you were ambushed by the Black Tuo Priest that day, you ran faster than a Tier 4 professional.”

Besides main professions, special professions are also an important component of combat power, but powerful special professions have very high requirements and cannot be

obtained at low levels.

“Do you want a top-tier low-level profession?” Su Chen asked.

Ming Lin refused, “No, no, I’m not a local of Yingfeng, nor does my family need to build up its heritage. High-tier ones are still useful to me, but top-tier low-level ones are not needed.”

“Is that so? Then you’ll have to wait… The professions from the Translation Department won’t be available to me for a while.” Su Chen thought to himself that the Armored Bone Master would be a good trade, but he couldn’t put it out now, as the Translation Department hadn’t deciphered it yet.

But there was no rush. His two special professions couldn’t be acquired immediately, and he didn’t have more energy for them.

“Okay…” Ming Lin was disappointed that Su Chen hadn’t relented even after he brought up the [Glutton], so he could only caution, “It’s best not to tell anyone else about this. It’s my secret, and I don’t want people bottlenecking my door.”

Su Chen naturally agreed.

Ming Lin was quite confident in Su Chen’s credibility. The two chatted for a while, and Su Chen invited him to stay for a drink. Ming Lin waved his hands repeatedly and left with a green face.

“Hmm… these two professions…” Su Chen’s eyes glazed over as he opened the panel and looked at the requirements for obtaining them.

He needed to plan carefully to meet the requirements with the least amount of time and effort.

“First, I need to figure out what a Forging Life Ore Vein and a Star of the Void are.” Su Chen sent a message to Gu Bing, asking the Tie Family to send someone over as he had something to ask.

The Tie Family started with mining, so they should know.

After Gu Bing replied, in just over two hours, she arrived with a middle-aged man. His face was grayish-brown with a metallic texture, probably due to some profession.

“Lord Su Chen…” The middle-aged man was very nervous. After greeting him, he didn’t know what to say.

“Tie Feng, he’s one of the main persons in charge of the Tie Family,” Gu Bing introduced.

“Please sit…” Su Chen gestured and asked Zero to pour two cups of tea. Without much pleasantry, he went straight to the point, “I called you here to ask if you know about Forging Life Ore Vein and Star of the Void.”

“Yes, I do,” Tie Feng replied concisely.

“Tell me about the Forging Life Ore Vein first,” Su Chen said.

“Forging Life Ore… is an active metal. Refined Forging Life Ore is often used as an auxiliary material for high-tier weapons.” Tie Feng started speaking hesitantly, but then became smoother, “It is usually found in several cities bordering the Copper Heart Mountains, such as Silver Frost and Vermilion Fire.”

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully. “Does this kind of ore vein have a core?”

“A core…” Tie Feng’s expression changed slightly. “Indeed, but only super-large ore veins produce them. They are mutated metals, almost possessing life-like characteristics. If used to forge weapons, they can even give the weapons self-repairing properties.”

“Is it very valuable?”

“Very valuable!” Tie Feng nodded heavily. “If you buy one, it would probably cost 50 million gold.”

“That expensive…” Su Chen clicked his tongue lightly, it was even more formidable than the requirements for his advanced profession to ascend to the top tier.

But this is the advantage of special professions; once acquired, they are almost always useful. The higher the main profession’s tier, the more obvious their effect.

He couldn’t possibly sell his professions again, could he? He definitely wouldn’t sell his current Tier 3 top-tier profession, as it would easily expose his weaknesses.

That leaves the Mysterious Tool Master and the Arcane Apprentice. He hesitated because these two professions were quite powerful, especially the Mysterious Tool Master.

“You can exchange for it…” Gu Bing reminded softly.

“Exchange?” Su Chen looked.

“Yes.” Gu Bing nodded, “Didn’t you capture a Black Tuo Priest? That’s no small credit. Since it originated from a lower-level city, there should be some within the Tribunal. Exchanging for this core shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Oh, right, I almost forgot about that.” Su Chen suddenly realized that although Judge You had captured the person, such a figure no longer needed credit. It had already been said that the credit would be recorded under his name.

With one requirement met, Su Chen was in a good mood and continued to ask, “What about the Star of the Void? What is that?”

“The Star of the Void is the core of an extraterrestrial meteorite,” Tie Feng explained.

“Meteorite core…” Su Chen was a bit surprised. “Does the Tribunal have any?”

“Yingfeng does, but the Tribunal doesn’t,” Tie Feng explained. “One was discovered four years ago and is currently stored in the resource library, being slowly divided. A fragment typically becomes available every three or four months. It has a wide range of uses, such as for forging weapons, concocting potions, and even replacing materials required by certain professions. Every time a fragment is released, there’s always fierce competition, if not a mad scramble, among bidders.”

Hard to get… Su Chen only registered these four words, feeling a little confused. “What does bidding mean?”

“This is a distribution method of the resource library.” Tie Feng explained, “Most conventional resources are allocated to major institutions according to regulations, but for some extremely rare materials that all parties desire, the resource library doesn’t want to offend anyone, so it simply puts them up for bidding.”

“Oh…” Su Chen suddenly understood and instructed Tie Feng to keep an eye on when the next Star of the Void fragments would be released.

It was already dark. Su Chen had wanted to invite the two to dinner, but Tie Feng repeatedly declined, and even Gu Bing, who wanted to stay, had to see him off.

“The place to exchange merits is at the Internal Affairs Department…” Su Chen checked the time and simply went down to the basement, planning to check it out tomorrow morning.

“…These requirements are best clumped together, so I don’t have to set aside specific time to complete them…” Su Chen had been pondering this.

Early the next morning, he went to the Internal Affairs Department, which is responsible for assigning duties and can mobilize almost every member of the Tribunal, holding significant power.

Early in the morning, many people gathered there. Some were returning from lower-level cities to report on their duties, while others were heading to lower-level cities to carry out missions.

“They actually assigned us a city suspected of having Heretic God Cult activities…” several judges walked out with bitter faces. “Why don’t they give us some lucrative tasks like smuggling…”

“Lord Su Chen…” They all stood up straight when they saw Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded slightly and walked into the Internal Affairs Department. A low murmur of noise filled his ears. The hall here was several times larger than that of the Occupational Analysis Department, with a constant flow of people.

Su Chen found a staff member, who also led him to the second floor to wait for a dedicated service personnel.

This is mostly where high-ranking judges pick up assignments, and everyone’s expression is solemn. Some who have returned to report on their duties still have special bandages wrapped around them.

Before long, the door opened, and a portly, benevolent-looking man walked in.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” He walked up and said with a smile, “I’m Xue Fei, the acting deputy director of the Internal Affairs Department.”

It’s him… Su Chen naturally remembered this person. When Teng Liang was being questioned in the Judgment Hall, this guy hadn’t held back his sarcastic remarks.

He was not only the acting deputy director but also an honorary director and a Tier 5 professional.

“I didn’t expect Deputy Director Xue to come personally,” Su Chen said, surprised.

“A core seed, and you at that, naturally demands attention.” Xue Fei said with a chuckle, “If you have any needs, just tell me.”

“It’s nothing, just bored, came to take a look.” Su Chen shook his head. “I’m leaving now.”

“Bored.” Xue Fei’s smile deepened. “What’s the rush? Why don’t you let me show you around the Internal Affairs Department?”

“I won’t delay your work. I’m leaving. No need to see me off.” Su Chen left directly.

Xue Fei insisted on seeing Su Chen to the main entrance, watching him leave, then his smile gradually faded, and he snorted coldly before turning back.

“I can’t believe I ran into that guy.” Su Chen shook his head inwardly. If he was hostile towards Teng Liang, he probably wouldn’t have a good attitude towards himself either. Exposing his needs would surely lead to trouble, even if there was nothing wrong.

“I’ll just go directly to the higher-ups… to avoid any unexpected problems.” Su Chen turned and headed deeper into the Tribunal.

Chong Jingtian was not in the Tribunal, so he found Jiang Shumo.

“Exchange for a Forging Life Ore Vein core? Let me check…”

Jiang Shumo sat behind his desk, scrolling through the virtual screen that popped up. He quickly found the target and said with some surprise, “This thing is quite rare. We only have one in stock, and it costs 120,000 contribution points.”

“You captured the Black Tuo Priest, which can be converted into 100,000 contribution points. You’re still short 20,000, but you also reported the divine blood, so that just about covers it.” Jiang Shumo said casually, “I’ll have someone from the Internal Affairs Department send it to you.”

For those at the mid to lower levels, the contribution system is very strict: if you don’t have enough contribution points, you simply can’t exchange something.

But for the Chief Judge, it’s as simple as wiping it away.

“The Internal Affairs Department, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?” Su Chen hinted.

“You mean Xue Fei, right?” Jiang Shumo chuckled. “You’re too cautious. Xue Fei and Teng Liang have some disagreements, but it’s not to the extent that he would deliberately target you.”

“Even if you went directly to him to exchange for it, he would give you what he’s supposed to.”

Su Chen smiled without speaking, as to whether it was necessary or not, it was always right to be cautious.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Jiang Shumo suddenly said, “By the way, do you know your origin?”

Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, confused. “What origin?”

“I mean, how you became a vagrant…” Jiang Shumo said nonchalantly, but his eyes were fixed on Su Chen’s face. “I looked into it out of curiosity these past few days and found that you were originally from ‘Cliff Mountain City’.”

“Cliff Mountain City?” Su Chen was puzzled.

“A city that was destroyed,” Jiang Shumo said casually. “Don’t you remember? That’s where you were born.”

“I don’t remember.” Su Chen shook his head. His previous self had no memory of his origins, and he wouldn’t care about it either.

“Well, it’s nothing major. Go back.” Jiang Shumo waved his hand.

“Thank you for your trouble.” Su Chen got up, greeted him, and left the office.

………

“Beep, beep…”

In the Internal Affairs Department, Xue Fei’s bracelet vibrated with a temporary message. He pulled up the virtual screen, which displayed a direct order from the Chief Judge.

“…Forging Life Ore Vein core, so that’s what it was…” Xue Fei glanced at it, his face slightly sinking.

“Director Xue, what’s wrong?” Wei Yu Fan, sitting across from him, asked.

“It’s nothing,” Xue Fei extinguished the virtual screen and said with a chuckle, “Earlier, something interesting happened. Teng Liang’s junior fellow apprentice, Su Chen, came to the Internal Affairs Department. He didn’t say what he wanted, and as soon as he saw me, he turned around and left.”

“It turns out he wanted to exchange for something. Perhaps he was afraid I would obstruct him. These young people nowadays, really…” He shook his head.

“Su Chen?” Hearing the name, Wei Yu Fan frowned and asked, “What does he want to exchange for?”

“The core of the Forging Life Ore Vein…” Xue Fei immediately said, “This thing is worth a lot, and we only have one in stock at the Tribunal right now.”

“Is that so…” Wei Yu Fan said meaningfully, “What if I exchange it before him?”
