My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Tier 4? Su Chen?

Although I have observed many emotional reactions of occupations on the panel, Su Chen still couldn’t help but exclaim this time: It can still be like this.

Come on, everyone.

Su Chen thought to himself, this is equivalent to getting an occupation for free.

“What are you thinking about, so engrossed?” Seeing that Su Chen hadn’t responded for a long time, Sang Hanhai called out.

“Oh…” Su Chen came back to his senses, “I was thinking, this occupation is best used with a fast recovery type of occupation. Does the Translation Department have any?”

“Do you think we’re a treasure trove?” Sang Hanhai was speechless, “To heal injuries, a healer’s assistance is needed. As for the kind of extremely fast self-recovery you’re talking about, if we had it, you would have known already.”

“Moreover, as Tang Chen said, the heavier the injury, the stronger the buff. If you heal the injury, wouldn’t there be no buff?”

“I estimate that the best use of this occupation should be in a state of minor injury.”

Although Sang Hanhai sounded dismissive, this occupation was not really a useless one, otherwise the Translation Department would not have accepted it.

“Alright.”

Not getting the fast self-healing occupation he wanted, Su Chen was clearly disappointed.

After chatting with Sang Hanhai for a few moments, asking him to check if there were any other special occupations, he left with the box.

Back at his residence, Su Chen went to the gravity room, and with a thought, he pulled the door shut.

“Spirit User…” Su Chen’s eyes flickered. He opened the box and reached for a floating Essence of Spirituality, which darted around in his hand like a fish.

Spirit User – activate!

Su Chen’s heart stirred. The wisp of Essence of Spirituality vibrated violently at his fingertips. The pale golden energy began to flow backward, spreading up along the bone lines of his fingers, causing a faint tingling sensation wherever it passed.

As it surged into his skull, a pale golden glow burst forth from Su Chen’s eyes, as if the liquid from melting icy coldness had integrated into his mind.

[Spirit User successfully activated, gaining the occupational ability – Spirit Body. Skill proficiency acquisition rate increased by 50%.]

“Another 50%.” Su Chen calmed down. At his current level, the activation reaction was not intense, and he quickly adapted.

“I wonder if it has reached the Scarlet level.” After adapting for a moment, Su Chen took out the talent detection device and placed his hands on it. Two ink-black lights still appeared, but they were now as deep as ink.

“Not yet… It seems the gap has widened a lot, but looking at the color, it should be at the limit of Ink Jade.” Su Chen was mentally prepared and not disappointed. Talent and occupational tier are different; it’s a linear progression, not a leap in tiers.

“As for the remaining Essence of Spirituality, I’ll hide it for now.” Su Chen closed the box and threw it into his storage space. “Only one was used for activation, which might not be a good thing in the eyes of Old Chong and the others.”

…

“The Council of Elders has finished deliberating and has set the initial plan.”

Early the next morning, in the Central Conference Room of the Tribunal, Chong Jingtian’s expression was grave. Xia Hanshi sat on his left, Jiang Shumo and others sat in order, while the opposite side was empty.

“According to preliminary intelligence, the scale of the Faceless Ghost followers is unusually large, and the statue is three thousand meters high.”

A picture was projected in front of them: in the hazy mist, faceless figures in hoods slowly approached, and the colossal statue was faintly visible.

Even without seeing it in person, the sense of oppression was overwhelming.

“To be cautious, including myself, four elders will be dispatched, with one elder remaining to guard Ying Feng,” Chong Jingtian said in a deep voice, “At the same time, the Security Division will also transfer seventy percent of its manpower.”

“Orders have been given to the subordinate cities to transfer fifty percent of their manpower to support and form a joint army.”

“Xia Hanshi and Lei Tieyan will guard the Tribunal, and the rest of you will depart with me in a few days. The other Judges are already on their way back.”

The crowd naturally had no objections to these routine orders. Jiang Shumo pondered for a moment and then asked, “What about Wu Chenpei?”

Ying Feng wouldn’t be completely empty, but almost. With only one elder remaining to guard it, Wu Chenpei was a ticking time bomb, and they didn’t trust him.

“Wu Chenpei…” Chong Jingtian’s eyes narrowed. He seemed to realize something and swallowed his words, saying indifferently, “He’s here.”

The others also noticed and quickly composed themselves, looking towards the door.

Before long, a knock sounded, and Wu Chenpei pushed the door open. His gaze swept over the people present, pausing on Xia Hanshi before looking at Chong Jingtian: “Chief, why did you call for me?”

“Please, have a seat.” Chong Jingtian gestured with his hand. Only then did Jiang Shumo realize that the opposite seat was reserved for Wu Chenpei.

Wu Chenpei sat down, greeted everyone, and his gaze slowly fell on Xia Hanshi, “Long time no see, Judge Xia, you’re as graceful as ever.”

“Not as graceful as you,” Xia Hanshi said indifferently.

The atmosphere between the two was subtly off, but Chong Jingtian broke the tension at the right time, saying gently, “Holy Envoy, I’m here to ask for your help this time.”

“Oh?” Wu Chenpei looked surprised, “Is there anything else you need my help with?”

Seeing him playing dumb, Chong Jingtian wasn’t annoyed and slowly said, “The army of Faceless Ghost cultists is pressing down, and Ying Feng has to treat it seriously. Your Excellency is a Tier 7 professional, and we hope you can lend a hand.”

“This…” Wu Chenpei looked troubled, “Although we’re united against a common enemy, I should logically help, but…”

“Old fellow…” Before he could finish, Xia Hanshi interrupted coldly and impolitely, “We don’t have time to blab with you. We need to focus on fighting the enemy now and don’t have time to deal with you. Two choices: either help us, or we’ll team up and kill you.”

Wu Chenpei’s face stiffened. Chong Jingtian didn’t even look at Xia Hanshi, as if he had expected him to say that, and just stared at Wu Chenpei.

Wu Chenpei’s expression softened, “Since you’ve made it clear, I can help, but I have one condition: let Hong Xuan see the spiritual essence first.”

Chong Jingtian frowned subconsciously.

“The Chief should already understand that no matter what, Hong Xuan will eventually discover the spiritual essence. Do you really have to wait until Su Chen is promoted to Tier 4?” Wu Chenpei had a prepared speech and coaxed,

“It will take at least another half a year. Besides, even if Hong Xuan is recognized first, Su Chen won’t have no chance.”

Even though Chong Jingtian was reluctant and didn’t want Hong Xuan to see the stone tablet before Su Chen, it was a bit complicated now.

The higher-ups of Ying Feng were going out to fight the enemy, so it was impossible for them to leave Wu Chenpei behind, but it was also impossible to kill him as Xia Hanshi suggested.

This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

“Will you come with us if we let Hong Xuan examine the stone tablet?” Xia Hanshi asked suddenly.

“That’s right.” Wu Chenpei’s tone was firm. This first step had to be completed as soon as possible, and now was the best opportunity.

After so much time, Chong Jingtian’s resistance had greatly diminished.

“Good, I agree.” Xia Hanshi made the decision for Chong Jingtian.

Hmm? Chong Jingtian’s eyebrow twitched. Xia Hanshi hadn’t discussed this with him beforehand, but he didn’t say much.

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Shumo and the others’ eyes.

Agreed?

Wu Chenpei was slightly stunned. The resistance was far less than he had imagined. Chong Jingtian’s agreement was within expectations, but he had thought there would be more back-and-forth.

Then, he praised, “Judge Xia is decisive indeed.”

“Then it’s settled,” Chong Jingtian said faintly.

With the agreement made, Wu Chenpei left in a rather pleasant mood.

After he had gone far, Jiang Shumo looked at Xia Hanshi and asked hesitantly, “This matter…” “It’s the best method available right now.” Chong Jingtian shook his head and said, “As Wu Chenpei said, it’s just a matter of a few days earlier or later.”

Xia Hanshi’s decision instead saved him from agonizing.

After that, he said helplessly, “As for Su Chen, he’ll just have to wait.”

“This matter came too suddenly, it’s a pity.” Jiang Shumo sighed.

Xia Hanshi then slowly said, “Su Chen has already been promoted to Tier 4.”

“Hmm… Hmm?” Chong Jingtian was already thinking about the next step and didn’t react immediately. After a half-beat delay, he looked at Xia Hanshi and asked hesitantly, “Tier 4? Su Chen?”

Jiang Shumo was stunned and said, “How could it be so fast, an advanced profession? It can’t be a basic profession, right? But even for a basic profession, isn’t that a bit too fast?”

You Shan’s eyes showed surprise, and a strange look appeared on Lei Tieyan’s usually stern face.

“Basic profession? You underestimate me too much.” Xia Hanshi sneered, “I can’t tell you the specifics, but it’s an occupation that is highly compatible with Su Chen. I’ve put a lot of effort into it, and its strength is not low.”

Thinking of the surprises Su Chen would occasionally give him, Xia Hanshi deliberately left some room for maneuver.

“But it shouldn’t be that fast?” Jiang Shumo was still incredulous.

“You don’t believe me?” Xia Hanshi’s face turned cold, “Or do you think I don’t have this ability?”

“Who said I don’t believe you?” Jiang Shumo was rebuffed and felt displeased, so he snorted, “You have it, you’re amazing.”

“Tier 4, this is perfect then.” Chong Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, this was good news.

“With that, only the Spirit User is left,” You Shan said.

“Su Chen took the two portions of Essence of Spirituality yesterday and informed Sang Hanhai later that he had successfully activated the Spirit User,” Chong Jingtian said. “He was lucky and didn’t have much trouble activating it.”

“Oh? How is his talent?” You Shan became interested.

“It’s still Ink Jade outwardly, but it’s now dual Ink Jade,” Chong Jingtian said, his expression quite excited. “Hong Xuan’s physical side is Scarlet, and his mental side is also Ink Jade, so the gap with Hong Xuan isn’t that big.”

“Dual Ink Jade…” Everyone was a bit dazed. If it weren’t for Hong Xuan’s appearance, this would be unheard of.

Chong Jingtian had already stood up, “No time to lose, this matter should be concluded as soon as possible, so I can quickly take Wu Chenpei to resist the Faceless Ghost followers.”

…

“Finally, it’s my turn.”

By mid-afternoon, Ming Lin, looking elated, was waiting in the Tribunal hall. Upon receiving the notification, he immediately came.

He already had a premonition that this time, he would be taken to see the stone tablet.

Although he had heard from those who had gone before that they would get injured to some extent, he had a certain confidence in himself. With Ink Jade talent, how many people could compare?

Soon, he saw Wei Yu Fan hurrying over, who also seemed to have a premonition. When he arrived, there was a hint of anticipation on his face.

But after seeing Ming Lin, he quickly composed himself, returning to his calm and unwavering expression.

With him?

Ming Lin mused to himself. Judging from the people the Chief had summoned earlier, there must be certain requirements.

The oldest among them was only twenty-nine, and Wei Yu Fan was already past that age.

Was he wrong in his estimation?

“You’ve arrived…” Chong Jingtian descended from upstairs, followed by Xia Hanshi, Jiang Shumo, and others.

“Chief…”

Ming Lin greeted them one by one, but couldn’t help but be surprised. Such a grand display?

In previous instances, the Chief had always gone alone, without any Judges accompanying him.

Wei Yu Fan also greeted them, but when his eyes met Xia Hanshi’s sunken eyes, he couldn’t help but shiver.

He knew what happened to Xue Fei. He heard that the small team collecting information hadn’t been heard from for days, and no one knew if they were dead or alive.

“Teacher, why haven’t you returned yet,” he couldn’t help but think.

Is there anyone else?

Ming Lin waited aside after Chong Jingtian and the others responded, silently speculating.

“All the core seeds of the Tribunal with Scarlet Gold talent and who are relatively young Tier 4 professionals have basically been there. Who else don’t I know?”

After a moment, two figures arrived.

“It’s them?”

Ming Lin was surprised. The newcomers were none other than Yuan Capital Holy Envoy Wu Chenpei and Hong Xuan.

Hong Xuan was going too?

He furrowed his brow, and suddenly everything that had happened recently connected, and he had a guess:

“Could it be that the purpose of the people from Yuan Capital is also for the occupations recorded on the stone tablet?”

“No wonder Hong Xuan suppressed us in the challenge arena, this is proof.”

Thinking of this, Ming Lin felt a sudden hollowness in his heart, and his original confidence vanished. He knew Hong Xuan’s strength very well. The opponent’s talent was higher than his, and he was even two years younger than him.

All things considered, there was no way he could compete with the other party.

How could the Chief agree to let this guy go? How could he compete then? Ming Lin complained in his heart, but he also knew that something he didn’t know must have happened.

“Everyone…” Wu Chenpei greeted with a smile.

Hong Xuan also spoke, “Chief, all Judges.”

Since being defeated by Su Chen last time, he had not shown up for a long time. This time, he came back calm and composed, greeting Chong Jingtian and the others meticulously.

This is Hong Xuan… Xia Hanshi glanced casually, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Is there anyone else who hasn’t arrived?”

Wu Chenpei asked when they would depart, but Chong Jingtian told him to wait.

“It seems this person has a lot of influence, making everyone wait here,” Wu Chenpei joked, clearly in a good mood.

Chong Jingtian chuckled, but said nothing.

“Who else could it be?” Ming Lin muttered to himself, looking outside. He immediately caught sight of a figure rushing over, then frowned, seemingly trying to identify them, and then showed a shocked expression, “Su Chen?”

He exclaimed, surprised. Why was Su Chen here? Could it be that he had already been promoted to Tier 4?

Wei Yu Fan’s face darkened, but he quickly lowered his head when he noticed Xia Hanshi’s gaze.

“Teacher, Chief, all Judges… I’m sorry, something came up and caused a delay,” Su Chen squeezed in, and seeing the large group of people, he immediately explained.
