My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 138

Su Chen knocked on his chest, producing a dull thud. His skin felt unchanged, and his external senses were also unchanged.

“It’s truly amazing…” He couldn’t help but exclaim, estimating briefly,

“With this, Dimension 3 certainly can’t break my defense. Even a top-tier profession with max development won’t be enough. I wonder if Wu Yang, a Tier 4 lower-level professional, can break through…”

“I feel completely safe.”

Su Chen was quite satisfied. Just the integration and the seamless defense it provided made it worth enduring so many days of beatings.

On the panel, the occupation requirement for [Reverser] was only 46% complete.

As for the fragments of the Void Star, today was the bidding day for the resource repository. Gu Bing had already taken people to purchase them, and he didn’t need to show up.

Immediately, he took out the new D-grade meditation method—Profound Ice Pure Soul Meditation Technique.

“…Visualize yourself in the extreme cold of the Arctic, drawing in cold air to temper your essence, repeating nine times, and an extreme ice rises in your mental sea…”

While he was contemplating, the gravity room was opened, and it was Bai Fengxi. Her pretty face was taut, and seeing Su Chen standing, she was surprised. “Did I come too early?”

She glanced at the time. “No, it’s not early.”

“You don’t need to beat me today,” Su Chen shook his head, then added, “You won’t need to anymore.”

“The requirements are met?” Bai Fengxi’s face was filled with disappointment, and she seemed to be in a worse mood.

Su Chen was speechless. Noticing something was amiss with her, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I lost,” she said with some frustration, her voice heavy. “I lost to Liang Jingcheng in the selection competition!”

“This guy seems to have taken on another special profession; his methods have become more diverse.”

“Oh, really?” Su Chen wasn’t too surprised. Liang Jingcheng had been in the core seed position for so many years, so he must have some abilities.

Seeing Su Chen’s unsurprised attitude, Bai Fengxi looked utterly defeated, letting out a sigh. “I was too eager. After all, I’m not you.”

“What are you saying?” Su Chen shook his head. “If you could be like me, that would be truly extraordinary.”

“Ha…” Bai Fengxi was practically fuming with laughter. “You’re really good at comforting people.”

After a few playful remarks, Bai Fengxi quickly adjusted. Her mindset wasn’t so fragile as to be easily shattered. It was just that her expectation was to be a core seed, and losing still brought a certain sense of disappointment.

“Those guys are truly skilled. Their experience, strength, and professional coordination are impeccable…” Bai Fengxi began to analyze, believing she had underestimated them.

“After all, they’ve been in this position for so many years, and there are people specifically assigned to adjust their professional pairings,” Su Chen said, offering some comfort. “You’ve only been in the Tribunal for half a year, and you already want to challenge them.”

“What about you?” Bai Fengxi retorted. “We came at the same time.”

“I’ve told you already, don’t compare yourself to me. I’m already ahead,” Su Chen said resignedly. Old Bai had a strong competitive spirit; after all, she had risen from being a vagrant like him, so it was inevitable she would compare herself to him.

Bai Fengxi sighed with melancholy, “After fighting those core seeds, I realized how powerful you are. No wonder Wei Yu Fan had to advance to Tier 5.”

She had always kept an eye on Su Chen’s news, especially after his fight with Chu Xuan, but she hadn’t witnessed that battle firsthand, mostly hearing about it through word of mouth.

Many people were saying that among the core seeds, no one on the challenge arena would be a match for Su Chen.

Unconsciously, she had underestimated those guys, but after stepping onto the challenge arena and facing Liang Jingcheng,

She suddenly realized Su Chen’s immense power and the pressure he exerted on others.

“Forget it, I can’t compare to you. Sooner or later, I’ll be able to contend with those veteran core seeds. I’m going back to train now,” Bai Fengxi said, then elegantly left. “Next time there’s a good opportunity to beat you up, remember to call me.”

“You’ll become a core seed sooner or later,” Su Chen said, looking at Bai Fengxi’s retreating figure.

Old Bai had no shortage of resolve, sufficient talent, and once her foundation was built, she would definitely secure a core seed position.

After getting started with the meditation method, Su Chen tidied up a bit and headed to the Translation Department. This time, his auxiliary translation had prolonged the resonance time, almost two months, before he managed to translate it.

“After this translation, I can trade it with Ming Lin for that [Glutton]…”

Today was the wrap-up work. Qin Qiyuan had basically finished integrating the professional information and made a tentative evaluation of the profession.

“Provisionally rated as B-grade. One of the requirements is two top-tier professions, and it also involves fusing metal materials. It should have a significant effect on physical strengthening.”

Qin Qiyuan pondered, “But the specific professional abilities and the restrictions after taking the profession still need to be analyzed after someone takes it.”

“Or, if you take the profession someday, you can tell us. With two physical bodies as top-tier professions, you definitely meet the requirements. The rest aren’t too difficult, just a matter of enduring.”

Before taking the profession, professional abilities could only be inferred. Old Sang, based on his experience, could deduce the abilities of the [Space Container], and the previous [Tester] was also relatively easy to infer.

However, the [Armored Bone Master]’s abilities were difficult to deduce directly from the clues in the professional information.

If Su Chen hadn’t already taken the profession, it would have been hard to know that its ability was to fuse external armor to strengthen body defense.

“B-grade…” Su Chen nodded. This also meant that he could exchange for a B-grade profession from the Translation Department. He asked Qin Qiyuan.

Qin Qiyuan gave a wry smile, “Greed leads to indigestion. There aren’t many special professions that can help with strength.”

“And with these two professions, you wouldn’t be able to achieve them without three or four years of effort.”

Upon hearing this, Su Chen had no choice but to give up. After the usual casual chat to improve their relationship, Su Chen returned.

As soon as he got down from the laboratory building, he saw Cheng Lang waiting for him. Su Chen’s eyebrows raised, and he happily said, “Deputy Director Cheng, long time no see…”

Seeing Su Chen’s enthusiastic demeanor, Cheng Lang felt disgusted.

The last time, Su Chen had taken three arcane energy crystals for free. Although they weren’t particularly valuable, nothing came of it.

Originally, he had been waiting for this kid to be defeated by Chu Xuan and then come back to them for help, but instead, Su Chen easily crushed Chu Xuan, causing a sensation.

God knows how long he was silent when he first received that news.

Later, the higher-ups realized that if this trend continued, even without their help, Su Chen had a high probability of becoming Chief Justice.

So, they temporarily refrained from the “adding flowers to the brocade” approach and paused contact.

They just focused on others, but those established core seeds were all as cunning as monkeys, not ones to act without seeing profit.

As for Chu Xuan, who had no foundation, he died inexplicably after only a couple of encounters.

Later, Meng Qi came along, and after only one encounter, he also disappeared, leaving them quite speechless.

This time, the core seed selection competition brought back Feng Ze and Liang Jingcheng, two old players, and Cheng Lang didn’t even want to bother with them.

Looking around, there was still only Su Chen left, without any backing, who could potentially be manipulated.

“No choice, I’ve been too busy lately and couldn’t get away. I wanted to meet you a while ago,” Cheng Lang sighed, then added, “The three arcane energy crystals from last time, were they all right?” “No problem, they were absolutely excellent.” Su Chen nodded repeatedly. “I was just thinking of thanking you in person.”

Do I need that thank you?

Cheng Lang was inwardly displeased, and he lowered his voice to ask, “I heard that on the day Meng Qi died, there were Heituo Cultists who appeared and identified themselves in the Tribunal.”

“What exactly happened?”

Su Chen frowned, and said with difficulty, “The Chief put a gag order on everything that happened that day.”

If there was no gag order, I wouldn’t be asking, Cheng Lang thought to himself. In fact, he already knew the general idea of what happened that day.

But cultivating a traitor cannot start by asking highly secretive questions; it’s highly unlikely to succeed. It must be these innocuous pieces of information.

Su Chen still looked troubled, and Cheng Lang felt annoyed. He had taken the goods, but wouldn’t even disclose such common knowledge.

He sighed helplessly, “Last time, about the matter in Yun Hai Jian, I received a lot of questions from the Supervision Department. That was the lair of the Heituo Cultists, but I let you have it for nothing.”

“I helped you, and I hope you can help me too. Let’s help each other.”

He brought up the matter, and Su Chen fell into hesitation, seemingly struggling. After a long while, he finally nodded with difficulty, “Alright.”

Su Chen lowered his voice, “There were indeed Heituo Cultists present, and the whole incident was strange. It’s certain that Meng Qi had big problems.”

“Are you sure Meng Qi had problems?” Cheng Lang’s eyes lit up slightly.

He didn’t know much about Meng Qi’s situation. The events in the Judgment Hall that night had been distorted through rumors, making it difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood.

The matter of Meng Qi was deliberately obscured by the entire Tribunal, as it involved the dignity of several judges.

“How did he evade Chong Jingtian and the others?” Cheng Lang pressed further.

“That, I don’t know,” Su Chen shook his head.

Although there was no answer, he finally got some information, and Cheng Lang felt much more at ease, his smile becoming more benevolent:

“We are all people of Ying Feng, and we should help each other. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just tell me.”

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with a candidness for Ying Feng.

“Similar actions, the Security Division don’t know how many times they’ve done,” Su Chen sat in the back seat of the hovercar, couldn’t help but guess, the struggle between the Security Division and the Tribunal can be traced back a long time.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the internal courtyard reform, they made some small moves, but it was probably just a few casual moves. If it works, great; if not, they’ll just wait for the next opportunity.

Then, he thought again, “Hmm, I wonder what the situation is with Gu Bing. I hope we can get it.”

………

The resource repository is Ying Feng’s resource distribution center, directly managed by the Resource Reserve Management Division. Over ninety percent of resources converge here, and then are allocated according to their category.

It is located in the core area of Ying Feng, covering an extremely wide area. Super heavy hover cargo containers run on the main roads, their surfaces emblazoned with the logos of different cities and resource types.

Under the guidance of dispatch, they are diverted to corresponding areas. In the unloading area, numerous gantry cranes stand tall. Electromagnetic suction cups remove standard containers from the transport belly and precisely stack them onto guided vehicles for warehousing.

On the top floor of the central high-rise, Gu Bing and Tie Feng walked out of the elevator.

“Do we have enough money prepared?”

Gu Bing scanned the corridor. There were many people coming and going, from the Crafting Department, the Pharmacy Department, and the Supervision Department.

Iron Wind responded, “I’ve studied the records from recent years, and the price of Void Star Fragments is very fixed.”

“The estimated price is around 150 million, but we are representing Lord Su Chen, so others will show some face, and the price won’t be pushed this high.”

“The 130 million we prepared should be enough.”

Gu Bing nodded and followed the crowd into the bidding hall. There were many people here. They found seats and sat down.

“That’s Gu Bing. Su Chen also needs something?”

In the corner, someone’s gaze swept over Gu Bing, and an indescribable expression flashed across his narrow eyes. He Kang, who was beside him, frowned his characteristic “囧” shaped eyebrows and whispered:

“Xiao Ying, don’t stir up trouble. Don’t forget Old Wei’s instructions. He needs “Jade Hidden Flowing Light” to stabilize his profession now.”

“Relax, am I the kind of person who looks for trouble for no reason?” Xiao Ying chuckled.

He Kang was far from reassured. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Ying stand up and greet someone nearby: “Uncle Zhou, are you from the Supervision Department this time?”

“Yes…” The person greeted was not tall, with a beard circling his chin, looking very capable. He responded with a wry smile:

“Good stuff, there’s so little. It’s easy to get into a fight with others over it, so no one wants to come, and it’s just me.”

Zhou Honglang, the head of the logistics department of the Supervision Department, He Kang also knew him and greeted him.

“Why are you two here? Do you need something?” Zhou Honglang asked, sitting next to them.

“Yes,” Xiao Ying nodded, smiling, “Uncle Zhou, let’s work together later and try our best to get what we need.”

“Okay,” Zhou Honglang responded with a smile.

Everyone was familiar with the bidding process. After the person in charge of the resource repository appeared, he exchanged a few pleasantries as usual, and then the first item appeared on the large screen.

It was entirely translucent and dark green, as if flowing rosy light were sealed within.

“This is jade meat from Jinbi City, only a tiny bit produced every few months.” He briefly introduced, “Everyone knows its function, starting price is fifteen million.”

“Twenty million…” Someone immediately made a bid; it was from the Pharmacy Department, clearly planning to conduct in-depth research to see if they could produce some highly effective potions.

“Thirty million…” The person from the Crafting Department also bid, perhaps having similar intentions.

The two sides merely exchanged glances, and the air was already thick with gunpowder.

“Why isn’t anyone from the Tribunal here?” Gu Bing sat below, looking left and right.

“Most of these things come from lower-tier cities. The Tribunal has already harvested a round,” Tie Feng clearly understood the inside story.

Gu Bing was startled, and then understood.

Items were bid on and taken away one by one, and then new items were displayed. There were weapons crafted from special metal materials by the Crafting Department.

There were also potions prepared with rare herbs from the pharmacy department, each fetching a high price.

Not only Ying Feng’s official agencies, but also many family buyers and private buyers participated.
