My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Promotion to Calamity Envoy, Perverted [Ravager]

After sending Teng Liang back to the Tribunal, Su Chen did not return but took a hovercar to Zijin Huadu. After parking, Su Chen looked up and saw that the place was still as magnificent as ever.

On that day, Chu Xuan had entertained everyone here, full of ambition, but now the grass on his grave was almost overgrown.

In the high-level private room, Su Chen pushed open the door. Many people were already waiting there, some unfamiliar faces looking uneasy, while others were very familiar.

“Brother Su, you’re finally here.” It was Du Yu who spoke. He had been promoted to patrol squad leader in the Supervision Department and came forward to greet him.

“Brother Su…” Jiang Xi 옆에서 불렀다. He had become an assistant manager in the Logistics Department of the Crafting Department, looking much more mature and composed, with gratitude in his eyes.

A few months ago, he finally understood why the other party told him to take back a bottle of unfinished wine when he first visited Su Chen to give him combat boots.

“Brother Su…” Zhang Hengyu was also there, having long given up on competing with Su Chen. He was currently preparing for his Tier 3 promotion.

Su Chen lived a secluded life, and most of his conversations with these people were online, but he was not arrogant and responded to each of them.

The young and inexperienced ones were the excellent talents from Nanfeng City this year, looking at Su Chen with awe.

“Many people from Nanfeng have come this year.” Su Chen looked around and was pulled by Du Yu to sit in the reserved main seat.

“City Lord Yuan has taken drastic measures, including vagrants in the talent cultivation system, and unearthed quite a few decent prospects.” Du Yu said.

“Is that so?” Su Chen understood, and everyone took their seats.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

“You in Nanfeng City know that I defeated the people from Yuandu?” Su Chen looked at the young girl in surprise.

“Uh…” The young girl was a bit shy. Seeing Su Chen looking at her, her face turned redder and redder, and she stammered, unable to speak.

“The Bureau of Commerce exists, so Ying Feng’s news can still circulate back.” Du Yu explained, looking at the young man next to him, “Where are the things you brought?”

“Oh, oh…” The other party quickly took out a metal box from the side. “This is… a letter that Miss Little Pigeon asked me to bring, and City Lord Yuan’s…”

Su Chen paused, reaching out to take it. He had only come because Du Yu mentioned it.

Of course, even if he didn’t come, it would have been sent to him.

“Are you the one Nanfeng sent to the Tribunal this year?” Su Chen looked over.

“Yes… my name is Qian Heng, a talent chosen by City Lord Yuan, with Brilliant Silver talent.” Du Yu said.

Brilliant Silver… Su Chen wasn’t surprised. It was normal for lower-tier cities to recommend Brilliant Silver talents.

“I understand.” Su Chen nodded. Qian Heng’s face flushed. Regarding Su Chen’s status, he had been somewhat confused and ignorant while in Nanfeng.

It was only after arriving in Ying Feng that he had a profound understanding. When entering the city, the inspections by the Supervision Department were very gentle when they heard they were from Nanfeng.

After chatting for a while, Su Chen noticed that everyone was very restrained. He knew the reason and, after a word with Du Yu, prepared to leave.

But before leaving, he pulled out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Du Yu, “Please have someone take this back to Nanfeng and give it to Hu Xiang.”

Inside was a Mist Nightmare Pearl, which he had held for a year.

He didn’t have someone send it back when he got it last year because he was afraid someone would pocket it. Later, when he entered the Tribunal, he forgot about it.

Until today, after seeing the people from Nanfeng, he suddenly remembered.

“No problem, leave it to me.” Du Yu looked a bit dizzy, but when he heard Su Chen’s instructions, he stood up straight and assured him.

Su Chen exchanged a few words and then turned to leave.

“A year has passed.” Boarding the hovercar, Su Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional, recalling his first experience in Ying Feng, which could not be described as being completely hampered but was cautious.

He took out the iron box from his pocket and opened it to find two letters folded inside.

“Letter…” Looking down at Su Chen, he suddenly felt a mix of emotions, half-amused, half-bewildered.

Because of the mist, he sometimes felt the abstractness of this world.

This was not a special communication method for the sake of ritual; letters were indeed a mainstream mode of transportation between cities.

The first was from Little Pigeon, in a pale pink envelope with a woody scent on the stationery.

“Brother Su Chen…”

The letter was long, three or four pages, mostly rambling and anecdotal, with some complaints about Yuan Chenyang being too strict.

“Hehe…” After reading it, Su Chen chuckled softly, then opened Yuan Chenyang’s letter, which looked much more formal.

“My disciple Su Chen, it feels like we are meeting face to face when I read this letter…”

Old Yuan’s letter was mostly praise and exclamations, urging him to keep his talents hidden, that he was still young and should not rush into competition.

After reading them, Su Chen put them back into their envelopes and placed them in his storage space.

He turned his head to look out the window. The sky had already grown dim, and the neon lights of Ying Feng reflected on his face.

“Sacred Feast…” he muttered.

…………

“Finally, the Azure Thunder Master is also full.”

Ten days later, Su Chen looked at the panel, his eyes flashing with brilliance. As usual, he put away the Spirit Realm Instrument, and with everything ready, he did not hesitate.

Calamity Envoy—Promotion!

Instantly, violent lightning poured out of his body.

Su Chen’s body underwent a drastic transformation at the center of the thunderstorm. Azure thunder patterns proliferated wildly under his skin, crawling all over his body like living creatures.

His bones crystalized under the lightning, and the crackling sound of his bones was ceaseless. His eyes transformed into two rotating thunderstorms, and two lightning beams converged between his eyebrows, faintly intertwining into a blazing white lightning mark.

The physical metamorphosis was even more intense and painful. Su Chen opened his mouth and spat out two bloodied teeth, clearly feeling new teeth growing in his mouth, even stronger than before.

【Azure Thunder Collapsing Cloud evolves to—Calamity of Azure Thunder: Attacks are imbued with the power of calamity.】

【Immortal Adamantine Thunder Armor evolves to–Adamant Thunder Calamity Armor: Can counter enemy attacks, imbued with the power of calamity.】

【Thunderwalk has been strengthened!】

【Azure Thunder Master evolves to—Calamity Lord: When the Calamity Lord descends, within the range, the more calamity power accumulated in the target’s body, the worse their luck.】

【Obtained professional ability–Calamity Strike: Detonates the calamity power accumulated in the target’s body, causing severe damage.】

The metamorphosis gradually ended. The feeling of being almost torn apart in his body receded, replaced by a vigorous surge of vitality.

“Hoo…” Su Chen took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, long and drawn out, mixed with black lightning fragments.

He scanned the various abilities.

“Calamity power should be the core of the Calamity Envoy.”

“Worse luck? What kind of manifestation is that? Getting choked even when drinking water? Tripping over themselves in the middle of a fight?”

“Severe damage… how severe exactly?”

Su Chen murmured to himself, curious. A black lightning bolt flashed across his fingertip.

Unfortunately, these abilities all require a target to be tested. He adapted to his body.

Su Chen reached out again and took out a large box from his storage space.

When opened, it contained various metal blocks of different colors, as well as neatly stacked dark gold scales and other metals.

These were all for upgrading the arcane tools he controlled.

Gu Bing had sent them a few days ago, but the Azure Thunder Master was just short of the last step, so Su Chen didn’t delay and waited until today.

First, he took out the Purple Gold Scale Armor. The dark gold scales placed on one side floated up, along with several pieces of ink-black metal, called “Mok Gang,” which were also quite expensive.

The Purple Gold Scale Armor trembled incessantly, and ripple-like patterns appeared on its surface. The dark gold scales, like living creatures, precisely embedded themselves into the gaps of the original armor.

The two materials began to fuse in a wondrous way. The flowing light of the Purple Gold Scale Armor was quickly devoured by the ink-black color, and dazzling light burst forth from the seams. Each scale rapidly reconstructed at a visibly fast rate.

The smooth surface of the armor grew three-dimensional ridges unique to dragon scales, and the edges naturally formed sharp, shattered arcs.

The Dark Dragon Scale Armor presented a profound starry sky base color, with molten gold-like patterns flowing throughout.

The scales suddenly contracted and adhered to his body, and faint black mist seeped out from the gaps between them. These mists condensed into miniature dragon shadows on the surface of the armor, coiling and moving along the armor’s patterns.

【Dark Dragon Scale Armor – Tier 4: Forged from Dark Dragon Scales, supplemented with Mok Gang, it has extremely strong resistance to elemental forces and astonishing defense.】

Not bad… Su Chen looked at the ink-colored scales in front of him, flicked his finger, and heard a crisp clinking sound.

He had consumed a lot of mental energy, but now with the Glutton, he quickly converted it into physical strength and continued to upgrade the rest.

【Unpatterned True Blade – Tier 4: Forged from Dragon Bone Cold Gold, supplemented with a nano-core, it can transform weapon forms in a very short time.】

【Heavenly Footwear – Tier 4: Wrapped in Phantom Mirage Skin, appearing with phantom shadows in ten layers at every step.】

The remaining two controlled mystic tools have also been upgraded to Tier 4 items, and their respective strengths have been greatly improved. “Well, I guess I’ve finally completely leveled up…” Su Chen was satisfied. After tidying up a bit, he went out.

“Two days ago, the Translation Department sent word that Yuandu’s Essence of Spirituality had arrived and was waiting for me to collect it.” Su Chen walked, grinning, “It feels great to have things delivered right to my doorstep.

He headed straight for the Translation Department. Sang Hanhai had already received his message and was waiting for him.

“You’re quite patient. The thing has been here for two days, and you’re only arriving today.” Sang Hanhai said when he saw him swaggering in.

“I had an urgent matter a few days ago, my apologies, old sir.” Having just advanced to Tier 4, Su Chen was in a good mood and said with a chuckle.

“You, oh you…” Sang Hanhai shook his head and led Su Chen deeper into the Translation Department.

The item was kept by Pu Zhenghong. Su Chen watched him open a long, black box, lined with dark velvet, where two pale golden tassels lay quietly.

The slightest thread was visible, each one gleaming faintly, adorned with tiny crystal pendants at the end, undulating slightly as if alive.

As if sensing the opening of the box, they seemed to want to escape, but the box was also not simple, with intertwined black chains locking them inside.

Su Chen vaguely heard two fierce cries.

“This is the Essence of Spirituality.” Su Chen stared, feeling quite miraculous.

“I don’t know what method Yuandu used to find so many.” Pu Zhenghong couldn’t help but say, “Two portions of the Essence of Spirituality, with good luck, might grant half of the professional abilities.”

The requirement for a Spirit User is three portions of the Essence of Spirituality. Obtaining two portions does not equate to two-thirds of the abilities.

Professional requirements are difficult to quantify, as many factors influence them. A single missing portion can make a world of difference.

“Alright, that’s enough looking. Prepare to take the profession.” Sang Hanhai urged.

“Now?” Su Chen looked up, a bit startled.

“Of course…” Sang Hanhai said naturally, “My senior brother and I have assisted many people in taking up professions. With our supervision, we can remind you if anything unexpected happens during the process.”

“Uh…” Su Chen hesitated. He only needed one Essence of Spirituality for his profession. If these two saw it, he would have to spend more effort explaining, and who knows what kind of trouble might arise.

“You don’t want to?” Sang Hanhai noticed Su Chen’s hesitation and said discontentedly, “Don’t you trust us?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you,” Su Chen said helplessly, “This is my first time taking up a profession with others observing, and I’m nervous, which might lead to problems.”

“This…” Sang Hanhai frowned. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Su Chen’s words; on the contrary, it was because he had encountered similar situations where multiple translators failed to assist someone in their profession, but the person succeeded by secretly trying it themselves.

But this matter was of no small consequence.

“Let him prepare himself then,” Pu Zhenghong said, shaking his head. “Some things cannot be forced.”

Seeing that Pu Zhenghong had said so, Sang Hanhai stopped trying to persuade him.

Old Pu still had to study the divine language, so Sang Hanhai led Su Chen away. On the way, he brought up a matter:

“The other day, when trading for the Saint, I noticed that Tang Chen and Wu Chenpei, though distressed, did not show despair.”

“Perhaps Hong Xuan can truly accomplish it. He might not have actually killed anyone before. In that case, it would truly be heaven’s help for Yuandu.” Sang Hanhai sighed.

Su Chen’s heart stirred. Professional advancement was not impossible to cheat. He had seen Zhang Hengyu use it, and the Tribunal also had many unorthodox methods.

Being a Saint wasn’t difficult; the main thing was not to kill. Perhaps Yuandu really had a crooked way.

Hearing Sang Hanhai bring this up, Su Chen thought again, “By the way, have the professions compensated by Yuandu arrived?”

Sang Hanhai was worried about Hong Xuan possibly becoming a Saint. Hearing Su Chen’s question, he glared at him. “Still thinking about that?”

Su Chen felt inexplicably confused. Wasn’t that what they agreed upon?

Sang Hanhai felt that Su Chen wasn’t worried at all, but then he thought that it was somewhat irresponsible to suddenly place the pressure of “saving the world” on Su Chen.

“Don’t take it to heart.” He sighed again.

Su Chen felt even more speechless. What was wrong with Old Sang today?

“It’s fine.” Su Chen naturally expressed that it was no problem. Sang Hanhai composed himself and said, “Yuandu brought out two professions in total, including the Spirit User, as compensation for deceiving The Wise.”

“One of them was designated by us, an advanced profession of a certain Tier 6 profession.” Sang Hanhai snorted, “The other one is a special profession.”

“Yuandu is truly despicable!”

Sang Hanhai swore again.

“What’s wrong?” Su Chen asked, “Is the profession too weak?”

“If the profession were too simple, we wouldn’t want it.” Sang Hanhai shook his head, his voice cold. “The profession is actually quite good, but the problem is that its requirements are too troublesome.”

“Yuandu is just banking on us likely putting it aside even after we get it.”

The requirements are too difficult?

Su Chen’s eyes lit up. I like difficult requirements. It would be even better if the bone were harder. The Great Venerable likes hard bones.

“Let me see it.” Su Chen leaned over and said.

“I knew it.” Sang Hanhai had an expression that said “I expected this,” and helplessly said, “Why are you so interested in unknown professions? You haven’t taken up the Armored Bone Master yet, and the Reverser has been thrown to the back of your mind.”

“These professions all require time to slowly cultivate.”

Su Chen said, “No time now doesn’t mean no time in the future.”

“You rascal always has a point.” Sang Hanhai shook his head. Although he said that, he had promised Su Chen this matter, so he might as well take him to the laboratory.

He knew the professional information, but he certainly couldn’t just blurt it out on the street.

……

【Discovered Special Profession–Ravager, can be undertaken upon fulfilling professional requirements.】

【Requirement 1: For half a year, endure at least one fatal high-intensity pain (such as high-temperature burning, low-temperature frostbite, strong acid corrosion, electric shock, etc.) continuously every day. Within five days, the type of pain cannot be repeated.】

【Requirement 2: Be able to feel pleasure in pain.】

【Requirement 3: Pierce the heart with a crying blood iron branch for three days, performing a painful coronation.】

In the laboratory, after hearing this, Su Chen looked at the pop-up panel with a full head of black lines. None of the three requirements were normal.

“Feeling pleasure in pain,” no wonder Old Sang had a constipated expression.

“Now you know, don’t you?”

Seeing Su Chen’s forehead covered in black lines, Sang Hanhai chuckled, picked up his teacup, and took a leisurely sip.

“What are the abilities of this profession?” Su Chen asked. Although this profession seemed troublesome, it didn’t really fall into the category of impossible ones; it just had very specific requirements.

“According to Tang Chen, after successfully becoming a professional, the professional can transform the physical damage and pain endured into violent kinetic energy. The more severe the injury, the stronger the self-enhancement, and it’s an all-around enhancement.”

At this point, Sang Hanhai paused, then shook his head. “It’s indeed very powerful, but the powerful strength unleashed by severe injuries might not necessarily be a good thing. The body itself might not be able to withstand it first.”

This was like a paradox: the more crippled the body, the stronger the outburst, but by then the body would be as fragile as paper. Before the enemy was defeated, he would collapse first.

No profession can be simply judged by its abilities; its practicality in real-world environments must also be determined.

As he spoke, he looked at Su Chen, who gazed blankly, lost in thought.

шшш ▪ttkan ▪C○

He probably lost interest after hearing those requirements, and Sang Hanhai wasn’t surprised.

“This fellow is indeed out of the ordinary.” Su Chen felt rather speechless, looking at the words on the panel, which this time spanned several lines.

【Pain is not the price, but the fuel; trauma is not the end, but the beginning. The Ravager always embodies the credo of suffering. When he beheld the majestic body of the Great Venerable, he trembled involuntarily, weeping and begging the Great Venerable to bestow upon him the most agonizing torments, as a symbol of his highest respect.】

When he read this, Su Chen was momentarily stunned. It was the first time he had seen someone actively seeking a beating.

But then he became expectant. If the Great Venerable beat him into a concussion, that would be even better.

【The Great Venerable ignored him, and the Ravager felt disappointed.】

Alas… Unable to see the desired outcome, Su Chen sighed.

The Ravager was different from the Lawbringer. He did not disrespect the Great Venerable, but rather revered him greatly; it was just that his way of expressing it was different from other professions.

And there was another line below—

【Turning, the Ravager looked at the other professions in the corner, shaking his head disdainfully, wondering why these garbage could be in the same place as the Red Flame Thunder God.

The crowd of professions stood stunned, then erupted in rage, charging forward.

The Ravager groaned with pleasure amidst the beating.】

“He’s quite clever. He provokes ordinary professions, but he dares not provoke the Great Venerable.” Su Chen couldn’t help but laugh. This guy just wanted to be tortured, not to be directly beaten into a concussion.

And what surprised him the most was the last line.

【Ravager profession requirements integrated, current progress: 1%】

The three job requirements are integrated into a progress bar?

Su Chen raised an eyebrow. “Does this mean I can directly take the job as long as I make him comfortable?”
