My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Dirty Trick; obtaining the Spirit User profession

The man with the small mustache chuckled leisurely, “…Ladies and gentlemen, it’s just a Holy Word Stone. Why are you all acting like a formidable enemy is upon us? Which one of you hasn’t deciphered dozens or hundreds of them?”

Sang Hanhai’s face was cold, “Tang Chen, is your purpose here the same as last time, to gamble with professions?”

Tang Chen ignored Sang Hanhai’s coldness and said with a smile, “It’s for exchange and learning, adding a little fun, just for entertainment. Why be so tense?”

“We should also communicate with each other. Our Yuandu has many areas where we can learn from Ying Feng.”

His words sounded humble, but they made Sang Hanhai and the others’ expressions grow increasingly grim.

The last time, the other party said the same thing, and then their door was blockaded for half a year. They had to grudgingly take out the “Scholar” profession, losing both face and dignity.

“Everyone…” Tang Chen looked helpless, “Are we gambling or not? It shouldn’t be such a difficult decision. It’s not like you’re deciding the lives of tens of thousands of people.”

The people behind him chuckled softly, while Sang Hanhai’s side grew even more silent.

“Still using the ‘Spirit User’ as a stake, just like last time?” Sang Hanhai said expressionlessly.

Tang Chen nodded, “Exactly. If you decipher it, the professions on it, along with the ‘Spirit User’, will be yours. If you can’t decipher it, please allow me to examine the ‘Saint’.”

If successful, it would be a one-for-two exchange. The last time, Sang Hanhai was misled by the other party’s words, confidently accepted and signed the gambling contract, and almost went mad.

Sang Hanhai frowned, not agreeing.

“Alas…” Tang Chen sighed, disappointed, “Ying Feng… Translation Department…”

This tone made Sang Hanhai’s eyebrows twitch. The other party had come to stir up trouble, and not agreeing would inherently show fear.

Behind him, the somewhat younger translators were flushed with anger.

Jin Yunxuan was among them, his expression livid, sharing their indignation.

“Just accept it, what’s there to fear? Anyway, we have…” Before he could finish, Sang Hanhai reprimanded, “Shut up.”

Who? Tang Chen was startled, looking at the speaker, Pu Zhenghong?

“Elder Pu…”

“Elder Pu…”

Just then, a greeting came from behind. Sang Hanhai quickly turned to look, and the crowd behind him automatically parted, as the white-haired Pu Zhenghong walked in.

Sang Hanhai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his senior brother didn’t act impulsively and came.

When the translators saw Pu Zhenghong, their expressions also relaxed considerably, as if they had found their backbone.

“Pu Zhenghong…” Tang Chen narrowed his eyes, “Old Pu, it’s been a while since we last met, hasn’t it? I thought I wouldn’t see you this time.”

“Want to take a look?” Pu Zhenghong pointed to the Holy Word Stone.

Tang Chen hesitated slightly. Sang Hanhai immediately said, “What, hesitating?”

“Let’s see then.” Tang Chen gestured with his hand, sitting up straighter, no longer as relaxed as before.

Old Pu took the Holy Word Stone, held it in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully.

It was no different from other Holy Word Stones, with numerous symbols continuously flickering on its surface, without any discernible pattern or regularity.

Tang Chen maintained a solemn expression, but inwardly, he was quite relaxed. He acknowledged Pu Zhenghong’s achievements, but he was certain that he could not successfully decipher the profession on this Holy Word Stone.

“Perhaps three years ago it was still possible…” he added in his mind.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the entire hall was utterly silent.

Creak—

The door to the room cracked open, and someone else came in, but no one paid attention. All eyes were on Pu Zhenghong.

“Old Jin…”

Jin Yunxuan was craning his neck to look forward when he heard a low call from behind. He initially didn’t want to bother, but vaguely felt the voice was familiar.

Realizing this, he quickly turned around to see, as expected, it was Su Chen.

“Sir Su Chen…” Jin Yunxuan hastily said. Su Chen glanced at the front crowded with people and asked in a low voice, “What’s happening?”

“Elder Pu has arrived and is observing. He’s probably going to take on this gamble,” Jin Yunxuan explained, then couldn’t help but look at Su Chen again.

Aside from Pu Zhenghong, with this Divinely Inspired Translator here, the Translation Department was bound to win and redeem itself.

He just wondered if Su Chen could resonate with the Holy Word Stone brought by Yuandu.

He had already resonated with other Holy Word Stones three times, so he should be able to, right?

He hesitated, having never encountered anyone like Su Chen before, making it impossible to draw conclusions.

Su Chen also saw Pu Zhenghong’s back. Old Pu had such a great reputation, so it probably wasn’t exaggerated. The Spirit User was probably already there.

Although their voices were low, they sounded abrupt in the silent room, like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Sang Hanhai frowned and turned his head. When he saw Su Chen, he was surprised. Why was this kid here?

Tang Chen casually glanced over. Seeing a young man, he didn’t pay much attention, assuming he was just a staff member of the Translation Department.

“This Holy Word Stone…” Pu Zhenghong watched, his brow furrowing deeper.

For some reason, he felt that this Holy Word Stone was different. With his years of experience, he could find some familiar parts in the constantly flickering symbols on it.

It seemed to indicate that he could decipher it, but his intuition told him that it was not that simple.

ωωω★ttKan★c o

“Senior brother, what’s the situation?”

Time passed by minute by minute. Sang Hanhai watched Pu Zhenghong’s increasingly furrowed brow, a subtle sense of foreboding stirring within him.

Could it be that even his senior brother had no confidence?

“This stone…” Pu Zhenghong hesitated, then uttered, “It’s strange.”

Tang Chen’s heart skipped a beat. This Pu Zhenghong was truly a demon to even sense something was amiss.

He probably would have noticed something three years ago if he had been there.

But on the surface, he still showed a confused expression, “What do you mean, you also don’t have the confidence to decipher it? Is it really that difficult?”

“Alright, then no gamble.” He shook his head, retreating to advance, and sighed, “This is really…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but his expressed disappointment was even stronger.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like adding fuel to the fire. On the Translation Department’s side, angry eyes glared, the sound of breathing rising and falling, and even the look towards Pu Zhenghong’s back carried a sense of bewilderment.

Sang Hanhai gritted his teeth, but was equally puzzled. Could it be that his senior brother really had no confidence?

“No gamble?” Su Chen suddenly heard this and wondered, what about his Spirit User?

What’s wrong with Old Pu? Did he give up?

“Hehe…” Hearing Tang Chen’s words, Pu Zhenghong chuckled, a forced smile on his face, his wrinkles trembling, and suddenly called out, “Su Chen.”

“Coming.” Su Chen, who had been closely following the situation at the front, immediately walked through the crowd.

Numerous eyes gathered on him, filled with surprise and bewilderment. Only a few people had an indescribable emotion in their eyes.

Only Sang Hanhai and Qin Qiyuan’s people knew that he was a Divinely Inspired Translator. They had all signed secret contracts and could not reveal it.

The vast majority of the Translation Department, especially the mid-to-low level staff, had no idea that a Divinely Inspired Translator like Su Chen existed.

Senior brother really has no confidence… Sang Hanhai was surprised.

But, why call out Su Chen?

His resonance also takes time, so deciphering it on the spot is definitely impossible. Could it be a strategic scare tactic?

“Su Chen…” Tang Chen frowned slightly, sizing up the young man who had walked out from the crowd.

It was the same person who had just entered. He had thought he was just an ordinary employee, but now it seemed otherwise. What was Pu Zhenghong up to? He was confused, calling out some young fellow out of his mind.

“Take a look.” Pu Zhenghong handed the Holy Word Stone in his hand to Su Chen, who had walked up.

Su Chen took it gracefully and examined it carefully.

But then, he was stunned, a look of confusion in his eyes. The system panel didn’t pop up?

¸ тт kдn¸ c○

What’s going on?

Su Chen couldn’t help but look at both sides of it, but still no reaction.

Could it be… a guess suddenly popped into Su Chen’s mind.

The system panel definitely couldn’t be problematic. If there was a profession on it, it would definitely be recorded, even the Great Lord wouldn’t escape it.

Since it wasn’t recorded, there was only one possibility: there was no profession on it at all.

Playing dirty, huh… Su Chen was enlightened. The last time, Old Sang and the others were probably driven mad by this Holy Word Stone that had no profession at all. Unable to decipher it, they might have even thought it was due to their own lack of skill.

However, how did these guys engrave it, and make it look like a normal Holy Word Stone?

Ordinary methods couldn’t deceive Sang Hanhai, nor Pu Zhenghong. Information on Holy Word Stones could be erased, but it couldn’t be easily engraved.

He even looked at the back… Tang Chen was speechless. Seeing Su Chen’s actions, the slight vigilance that had arisen in his heart dissipated without a trace, and he shook his head almost imperceptibly.

Many translators behind him, craning their necks, were also bewildered. Can a Holy Word Stone be looked at from the back?

“Finished looking?” Tang Chen asked with a smile.

Su Chen ignored him, placed the Holy Word Stone back on the table, and looked at Pu Zhenghong, “You noticed it too, didn’t you?”

This kid… Pu Zhenghong smiled, “Tell me.”

Everyone was baffled, not knowing what kind of riddles these two were playing.

Tang Chen’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, only to hear the young man before him calmly state, “There is no profession on this at all.”

“What?” Sang Hanhai froze, his mind buzzing. The torment he suffered three years ago surged in his mind, yet there was also a sense of enlightenment.

Right, this is it!

No wonder it was so bizarre, there was no profession on it at all, so what was there to decipher!

Qin Qiyuan and several other professors also seemed dazed for a moment before gradually coming to their senses.

Indeed… Pu Zhenghong’s eyes were profound. His strange feeling wasn’t unfounded.

Su Chen was quite bold. He dared to say there was no recorded profession even without resonating.

“How did he discover this?” Tang Chen’s expression changed, his hand under the table clenched and then relaxed, his expression quickly composed as he frowned and said,

“Nonsense. If a Holy Word Stone doesn’t record a profession, what else could it record?”

Sang Hanhai sneered, “It’s meaningless now. Although I don’t know how you did it, since this matter has been exposed, we understand.”

Since its discovery, every Holy Word Stone has invariably recorded a certain profession. This has almost become an ironclad rule, and also a blind spot in thinking.

And once this blind spot is exposed, there is no chance to exploit loopholes.

“So it was a dirty trick!”

“The people of Yuandu are truly shameless!”

The many members of the Translation Department behind them glared angrily, incensed to the extreme.

And the red-robed people standing behind Tang Chen were not to be outdone. “Nonsense, they’re just making things up because they can’t decipher it.”

“It’s simple to verify,” Pu Zhenghong said lightly, “Find people from Lieyang and Tianqing to witness, you state what the profession is, and then collectively decipher it to see if it can be reverse-engineered.”

“Bring it on!” The people from Yuandu were not to be outdone. In their eyes, this was just Ying Feng being unreasonable and even bringing out a young man to talk nonsense.

Seeing that the people from Yuandu showed no sign of guilt, the Translation Department members, on the contrary, started whispering among themselves. Could it be… that they were mistaken?

However, Pu Zhenghong and the others’ gazes were only focused on Tang Chen.

The surrounding arguments gradually subsided. Everyone saw Tang Chen’s expressionless face, “Since there’s no gamble, then forget it.”

He put away the Holy Word Stone and intended to leave.

This action made the expressions of the Yuandu people freeze. It was clearly a sign of guilt; what the other party said was true. There really was no profession on that Holy Word Stone?

The people in the Translation Department erupted again in an uproar.

“Just leaving like that? You’re thinking too simply, aren’t you?” Sang Hanhai sneered, “Playing dirty tricks, you probably took advantage last time too.”

“This debt isn’t settled so easily.”

“What do you want to do?” Tang Chen’s eyes were cold.

Pu Zhenghong said lightly, “Today, just leave the Spirit User here.”

Caught playing a dirty trick, Tang Chen had no choice but to leave the Spirit User to Pu Zhenghong and depart dejectedly with the Yuandu people.

Meanwhile, the Translation Department members were cheering with joy. Some were even inquiring about Su Chen’s identity, believing him to be a student of Pu Zhenghong.

It turned out that he was actually a core seed of the Tribunal.

“The core seed of the Tribunal, and his achievements in Holy Word Stones are so high?” Many people found it incredible.

Pu Zhenghong, with Su Chen and Sang Hanhai, had already arrived in another room.

“A bunch of bastards, truly shameless! They tricked us last time,” Sang Hanhai was still cursing.

Pu Zhenghong, however, looked at Su Chen meaningfully, “You dared to say there was no profession on it without resonating. Aren’t you afraid it was a false alarm?”

Su Chen said, “I felt that with your ability, and Elder Sang’s ability, neither of you dared to guarantee it, so there was probably something fishy going on. I just tried to say it.”

“Good, good.” Sang Hanhai was clearly pleased and said coldly, “This time it’s not over. Yuandu must provide an explanation, and they must compensate us for the ‘Scholar’ profession they tricked us out of last time.”

“I’m curious how they managed to engrave on the Holy Word Stone again,” Pu Zhenghong pondered.

“Senior brother, what time is it, and you’re still curious about this? Stop thinking about your Divine Language!”

Sang Hanhai was holding back a surge of anger. The last time they were blocked at their door was utterly humiliating. Now that they understood it was all the other party’s dirty tricks, the fire in his heart had nowhere to vent.

“Divine Language, can only be described by God. The god Yuandu worships is not God, so where did they find their God?” Pu Zhenghong said leisurely.

The enraged Sang Hanhai felt a chill run down his spine, “Are you saying, Demonic God?”

“Yuandu colluded with the Demonic God?” Su Chen was astonished.

Pu Zhenghong explained, “Both worship gods. Yuandu and the Demonic God believers were once closely connected, until they later found the Demonic God too bizarre and then severed ties.”

Su Chen suddenly understood. Pu Zhenghong took out the data left by the other party, which recorded the Spirit User. “Your goal should be this, right?”

He handed it to Su Chen, shaking his head, “Professions that enhance talent are extremely rare, but their requirements for employment are extremely strict, and even if successfully employed, they don’t increase much.”

Su Chen’s goal was the [Spirit User], and he didn’t stand on ceremony, taking it directly. He opened it and saw—

[Special Profession Discovered—Spirit User. Can be employed after fulfilling the requirements.]

[Employment Requirement One: Psychic-type Crimson Gold talent.]

[Employment Requirement Two: In the Netherworld, find and integrate three portions of Essence of Spirituality.]

Only two requirements? Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
