My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Becoming an Abyssal God Vessel, Initial System Formation, Perpetual Motion Machine?

The Adamant Armor’s almost metallic feel signified a significant upgrade in its defensive capabilities.

“If it’s strengthened and then combined with the three-in-one defense, it should be able to withstand Wu Yang.”

Using Wu Yang as a benchmark, Su Chen could now make a firm judgment, though the upper limit was hard to estimate.

Su Chen rubbed his temples. “Although this ability is powerful, extracting all mental power means it’s a last-ditch effort. If it doesn’t succeed, I’ll be incapacitated too.”

“However, if combined with the Abyssal God Vessel and the Glutton, it wouldn’t be a last-ditch effort for me. I could use it at least two or three times in a battle and still have energy left…”

“This is the power of career synergy!”

Su Chen couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, feeling his mental fatigue lessen considerably. He opened the panel again and saw that the requirements for [Abyssal God Vessel] had reached 99%.

“Perfect, just one last time. My mental power is drained now, so I’ll just exhaust my physical body for a bit longer.”

Su Chen stopped operating his meditation method and focused on his body forging technique, completely depleting his physical strength, finally meeting the requirements.

“Hmm… The Glutton can restore physical strength, but mental power still needs some time to recover. Let’s wait until I’m in peak condition before taking up the profession.” Su Chen breathed heavily, full of anticipation but not in a hurry.

After downing a few potions, he only waited three or four hours before his body gradually returned to its peak state.

“Phew…” Calming his mind, Su Chen stood upright.

Abyssal God Vessel, activated!

Su Chen was fully prepared mentally, but the process of becoming an Abyssal God Vessel was strange.

Fragments of the Star of the Void surfaced before him, gradually melting into purple ripples that gently washed over Su Chen’s entire body, like snowmelt seeping into the earth in early spring.

Every cell in his body was like a seed after a long drought, stretching and expanding in the warm current, and delicate purple veins emerged on the surface of his skin.

His Mental body rippled in response; he could “see” his mental power flowing through his limbs like a swarm of fireflies. This sensation almost made him groan in pleasure.

But suddenly, the warmth instantly solidified into billions of ice needles, brutally piercing into every cell.

“Ah—”

The abrupt change made Su Chen let out a muffled roar, and the purple veins on his skin glowed with a dazzling light, like an overloaded circuit.

A fierce burning sensation surged from his limbs towards his heart. He felt his consciousness being torn in two, then forcibly squeezed into every cell.

The purple veins quickly covered his entire body, then erupted with dark golden light. His body structure and Mental body, which were on the verge of collapse, stabilized in the golden light and gradually dissipated.

With the panel, as long as all requirements were met, failure was not an issue; it was merely a matter of the pain involved in the process.

[Successfully became an Abyssal God Vessel, gaining the professional ability – Reverse Conversion: You can extract your mental power or physical strength and convert them into each other.]

“Phew…” Su Chen let out a long breath, still shaken. The transformation he had just undergone was no ordinary pain; it came with the tearing of his conscious entity, a sensation that reminded him of the Whispering Trial.

Despite this, he still smiled, “Finally, success.”

He eagerly experimented with his new ability. With just a thought, he felt his body inexplicably weaken, as if he had undergone intense training, a portion of his physical strength was drawn away, while his mental power surged out of thin air.

Then, he converted his mental power back into physical strength, and his slightly hollow body quickly recovered.

“Hmm… The loss isn’t high…” Su Chen noticed that his physical strength hadn’t returned to its peak. “It’s not as much as the three or four tenths Old Qin mentioned, only about two tenths. This is due to the perfect fulfillment of the profession requirements.”

Next, Su Chen kept experimenting, the Glutton restoring his physical strength, and his physical strength then converting into mental power, having a great time.

“This combination is like opening up a circuit. It can serve as a foundation, compatible with all current and future abilities. It’s an extremely important foundation.”

Su Chen clenched his fists, already imagining its potential.

He even tried using [Holy Hand] to enhance [Reverse Conversion], and it did have an effect, significantly increasing the mental power or physical strength he could convert.

However, the [Holy Hand] ability consumed even more.

For continuous abilities like the Glutton, there was also a certain enhancement effect, allowing him to drink three more tubes of compressed nutrient solution.

But as time passed, after only a few hours, the stored nutrients would overflow, forcing him to consume them.

At the same time, this period also confirmed that the extra nutrients stored in the Abyssal Stomach, if not consumed, could be stored for about twenty days, which was double what Ming Lin had stated.

After fully adapting to the conversions of various abilities, Su Chen took out the pre-prepared talent detection device from his storage space.

He was ready to see what this forcibly averaged talent was all about.

Placing each hand on one of the two device spheres, to his surprise, two somewhat dim emerald green light beams shone out.

“Heh…” Su Chen grinned, “They’re both emeralds now.”

While surprising, it wasn’t entirely unexpected. He roughly understood what was happening.

Based on his speculation, the threshold for Emerald talent was at least an additional 250% profession development bonus on top of a colorless talent.

Averaging the two, his mental talent just reached the Emerald threshold, while his physical talent was pulled up to the Emerald threshold. This made it appear outwardly as if his physical talent had been boosted to the Emerald level.

“If Old Qin and Old Sang knew about this, they’d probably be shocked.” Su Chen smiled and put away the talent detection device.

Then he looked at the panel again—

[Azure Thunder Master: 42%]

[Arcane Hand: 50%]

[D-grade Profound Ice Pure Soul Meditation Technique – Mastered: 40%]

[D-grade Thunder Adamant Body Forging Technique – Proficient: 70%]

“Azure Thunder Master is also nearing 50%, so next I should start preparing for the promotion to a Tier 4 profession.” Su Chen pondered.

Special professions, once activated, can continue to be effective and even grow stronger as the main profession advances. However, the advancement of the main profession still holds the highest priority.

The premise for him to fulfill the requirements of other professions was not to waste too much development time.

Otherwise, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Although the professions of the Tribunal could not be acquired without reason, with his status, if he insisted, the Tribunal would certainly grant them.

That wasn’t the problem; the problem was—

“There’s too little Demonic God Power stored, only two low-tier Black Tuluo powers, which are entirely insufficient for a Tier 4 profession.”

Su Chen frowned. Because of Jiang Shumo, he had been very well-behaved during this period and hadn’t dared to secretly visit the remaining Black Tuluo sub-nests.

Although it was on his agenda, he couldn’t think of a good solution in the short term. Jiang Shumo might still be watching him, so it was better to be cautious.

“If all else fails, I’ll find a way to openly clear it out. Clearing out Heretic God Cultists is absolutely politically correct, no matter how you look at it.” Su Chen thought as he walked out of the gravity training room.

With all his profession requirements met, he finally no longer felt the void and insecurity of having his physical and mental strength drained.

In high spirits, he had Zero contact the cafeteria to deliver a table of delicious food, and he began to feast.

“…Tsk, it’s not as good as what Gu Bing makes. The skill is one thing, but the ingredients are another. At the very least, the meat Gu Bing provides certainly isn’t older than me.” Su Chen shook his head, but he wasn’t so picky as to complain too much.

After all, it was prepared for core seeds, so the taste was already quite good.

He took a sip of the Jinliusha that was left over from the Yuanqing Festival. Old Bai had left in a hurry and hadn’t taken it with him the next day, so Su Chen occasionally sampled it.

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Chen let out a satisfied belch and exclaimed, “Nutrient potions really don’t bring this kind of psychological satisfaction.”

He had Zero compile the news, and on the internal network forum of the Tribunal, a major event was being discussed.

“The Black Tuo Priest is going to be publicly executed?”

Su Chen was surprised and asked Zero to recount the details. This was an announcement made by the Tribunal two days prior, in conjunction with the Security Division.

It stated that in order to deter the increasingly rampant heretic cults, they had decided to publicly execute the captured Black Tuo Priest.

“Was it the one I caught… er, the one I found?” Su Chen carefully read the announcement and indeed, it was.

It specifically stated that Su Chen, a core seed of the Tribunal, had led the team that captured him.

“He really knows how to gild the lily for me…” Su Chen muttered to himself, “Public execution, why does that sound so strange?”

“It seems like fishing, fishing with a straight hook. Can it really catch anything?”

He had serious doubts, but then he thought of the cultists’ fanatical demeanor, and it was quite possible they would take the bait.

To them, a priest was a divine emissary on earth, and how could they suffer such humiliation?

This matter had nothing to do with him; whether it was a trap or not, he wasn’t going to watch the excitement.

“However, let’s see if the Black Tuo Believers take any action. If they act impulsively and use all their Guiding, where will I find another Black Tuo Guiding?”

Su Chen then realized that this matter was related to him, and he couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

Returning to the gravity chamber, he closed the door, his body gradually vanishing into thin air, then slowly transforming into the “Black Tuo Priest” state.

During the process, he was still thinking that after successfully becoming an Abyssal God Vessel, coupled with the Glutton, and the gradually increasing profession development.

Without making any movements, he estimated he could now hide in the interstitial space for over an hour, an almost five or sixfold increase.

“If I continue to drink compressed nutrient solution in the spatial interlayer, wouldn’t that be a perpetual motion machine?” Su Chen suddenly thought. Compressed liquid reduced digestion time compared to normal food.

“Although converting it into stored nutrients also takes time, as long as the body’s consumption isn’t too great, it really can achieve a perpetual motion-like state.”

Tsk tsk, half an hour ago, he could only hide in the spatial interlayer for about ten minutes, and in a blink of an eye, he became a “perpetual motion machine.” The synergy of professions… he sighed again.

“Let me see, the believers are all… huh!?”

The moment he completely transformed into the Black Tuo Priest, Su Chen abruptly turned his head in the spatial interlayer, looking in a certain direction with astonishment.

“What is that, right there in the Tribunal, and so close?”

This was a feeling he had never experienced before, not a Guiding, nor a believer, but it was extremely strong and clear, as if right before his eyes.

“It’s not the Black Tuo Priest; he’s under Judge You’s seal, so I can’t sense him at all, and the feeling is different.”

Su Chen furrowed his brows. Compared to the vague feeling he had before, this strong and clear sensation even reminded him of the time he felt the sacred statue up close in Nanfeng.

“How could this be? It wasn’t here before. It must be something Old Chong and the others are aware of…”

Su Chen believed that Chong Jingtian and the others must have known about it, as it was too intense for the Tribunal’s sensors not to detect.

He put away his state, emerged from the void, hesitated for a moment, then went to the medicine room and filled his stomach with nutrient fluid.

After preparing, he went out and headed towards the direction he had just sensed.

…Turn left…

…Turn right…

“Your Excellency Su Chen…”

Someone greeted him on the way, and Su Chen nodded in response.

He hadn’t been out for a while, but more people recognized him. Most of the people he passed greeted him.

This inexplicable sense of familiarity reminded him of the first time he walked through the Tribunal with Ming Lin.

“I don’t think I’ve done anything recently…”

As he walked, Su Chen couldn’t help but murmur. He opened his smart bracelet and, after a bit of searching, finally understood.

It turned out to be because of Wei Yinsuo’s appearance. Before Wei Yinsuo’s complete disappearance, news of two cities being sacrificed was completely suppressed, and no one knew about it.

But once Wei Yinsuo reappeared, people would always wonder what mission this judge had carried out that led to such severe injuries.

Some information also surfaced. Wei Yinsuo’s defeat was one aspect, and Judge Xia Hanshi’s foresight was another.

Consequently, Su Chen was also given increasing importance.

“So that’s how it is…” After summarizing the general news from the forum, Su Chen understood the whole story.

The number of Judges he encountered along the way also decreased, indicating that he had arrived at a relatively secluded area within the Tribunal.

“Is that… Xue Fei?” Su Chen paused, seeing a figure not far away enter the white building in front of him.

The thing he had sensed earlier was probably in this location.

“Medical Department? Could it be… Wei Yinsuo?” He looked up at the name on the building in front of him, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a strong premonition.

He hadn’t been following Wei Yinsuo’s recent situation, but a quick check brought results.

Due to the severity of his injuries, he had been staying in the Medical Department since returning to the Tribunal.

Su Chen was surprised and uncertain. “Did this guy fall? Did he become one of the Black Tuo? Do Chong Jingtian and the others know?”
