My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Strongman: Watch Me!

“Who arranged for me to go in?” After Wei Zhigao left, Su Chen studied the spirit communication device in his hand, along with the accompanying instruction manual. It resembled an old-fashioned mobile phone from his previous life, even having physical buttons.

Due to the mist, the communication range was limited to Southwind City. Short-distance temporary information exchange was possible, and for now, there was only one contact—Wei Zhigao.

“Did I misunderstand the victim?”

Su Chen carefully played with it; the metallic casing felt quite good.

“Forget it, I’ll take the benefits first.”

Su Chen could only temporarily put aside things he couldn’t figure out. At least he could get a lot of good stuff for free.

A first-order advanced physical occupation would definitely be stronger than a Strongman.

According to the simple information given by Wei Zhigao, the Swift Wind Walker focused more on speed and slightly augmented strength.

The Strongman purely enhanced strength. Between low-tier occupations, they generally did not conflict.

In terms of prospects, the Swift Wind Walker was definitely better.

Going out to the end of the corridor, Su Chen checked the class schedule and jotted down the classroom for the physical training class, then exercised for a while.

[Strongman: 20%]

[Molten Rock Forging Method – Beginner: 65%]

The Molten Rock Forging Method, although an F-grade training method, progressed quickly at the beginner stage.

There were more patrol teams in the academy. Everyone entering and exiting had to undergo strict scrutiny, and many remote corners inside were undergoing thorough searches.

The sights on the road made Su Chen wonder, “Is the attacker still in the academy?”

…

“Yuan Chenyang reacted quickly… old man…” In a corner of the academy, a pair of sharp eyes scanned around, muttering softly:

“That thing is made of special material, it’s hard to take it out openly. I will be discovered sooner or later.”

“I need to find a way…”

…

“This place is not simple.” Su Chen arrived at the top floor classroom. The room was sealed by a heavy metal door. Su Chen swiped his student ID, and with the sound of heavy gears, the door slid open.

Several people had already arrived, all of them burly, casting surprised glances.

“Is this a gym?” Su Chen looked around. The spacious room was filled with various large, metal-crafted equipment.

“Excuse me, student, did you… perhaps come to the wrong place?” Someone asked in a booming voice, holding something like a dumbbell, muscles bulging.

“Isn’t this the physical training class?” Su Chen asked.

“Yes… but…” The other person nodded, hesitating, “I haven’t seen you before, have I?”

“I’m new here…” Su Chen said casually. The few people exchanged glances but didn’t say anything more.

He looked around, picked up a dumbbell with black metal on both ends, and a knob-like thing on the handle.

Su Chen tried turning it, saw blue fluorescent light flowing through the patterns on the dumbbell surface, and felt the dumbbell get heavier.

“Interesting…” Su Chen realized that these things indeed had a significant effect on physical training.

“Su Chen…” A slightly familiar voice came from behind.

“Old Bai?” Su Chen turned around, quite surprised. It was Bai Fengxi in a training suit, her hair tied up high, looking very capable. “You also train physically?”

Old Bai?

The others’ eyes widened slightly. Was this kid very familiar with Bai Fengxi?

Everyone believed Bai Fengxi was Yuan Chenyang’s “student,” belonging to the “second generation,” and naturally had a barrier with most people.

“Just here to learn…” Bai Fengxi explained vaguely.

Seeing her unsurprised expression, Su Chen immediately understood: “Did you arrange for me to come in?”

“It was Yuan Chenyang; he’s not taking any more students, so he could only give you a chance,” Bai Fengxi nodded.

“Thanks,” Su Chen said spontaneously.

Bai Fengxi accepted it calmly.

Clank, clank!

The metal door opened again. Even Su Chen could clearly feel an oppressive force, and a well-built man with distinct muscles walked in.

Everyone gradually gathered around, their expressions solemn, “Instructor!”

“This is Instructor Zheng Shi,” Bai Fengxi whispered a reminder.

Zheng Shi scanned around, his gaze falling on Su Chen. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Today we have a new member, Su Chen. He will be training with us from now on.” “Su Chen…”

“Never heard of him…”

Everyone whispered. Suddenly, someone gasped, “Damn, I knew why this kid’s face looked familiar. He seems to be following Teacher Jiang He’s path.”

“Jiang He… no wonder he’s so handsome…”

For a moment, envious and resentful gazes flooded in.

Even Instructor Zheng was stunned for a moment, Jiang He…

“Quiet…” Instructor Zheng’s eyebrows furrowed, and he shouted, “Let’s start training first. I will guide you later. Think about what questions you want to ask me.”

“Su Chen, come here.”

Su Chen complied, following Instructor Zheng to a corner. The other party, in a business-like manner, took out a metal plate sealed in some transparent lipid material.

“Look at this, remember it,” he said succinctly.

Su Chen took it, and there was a long string of text on the metal plate inside. With just a glance, the panel popped up a prompt–

[Discovered first-order advanced occupation–Swift Wind Walker. Can be occupied if the conditions are met.]

[Condition one for Swift Wind Walker occupation: accumulated running time of three years (one year completed).]

[Condition two for Swift Wind Walker occupation: upgrade any basic physical training method to mastery.]

Su Chen raised an eyebrow. Three years of accumulated running time. Even living so long in his previous life, it only amounted to one year, leaving two more years.

This was too troublesome. Even if he didn’t eat or drink and didn’t feel tired, it would take at least three or four years to complete.

No wonder that Wei Zhigao reacted that way.

This kind of occupation was clearly not meant for ordinary people.

Even due to physical development, high-intensity physical training or mental meditation usually didn’t begin until adulthood.

But running, as a sport, could be accumulated from a young age.

Thinking this, Su Chen handed the metal plate back. The information on the paper was slightly different from what was on the panel; he had grown accustomed to it.

“Did you remember it?” Instructor Zheng was surprised to see him hand it back after just a glance.

When other students received information about occupations, they would read every word dozens of times, afraid of missing any details.

Is this guy’s memory that good?

He wanted to remind him, but changed his mind and expressionlessly put the item away, “Go back to training…”

Su Chen found a corner and casually picked up a dumbbell.

“What occupation did you choose?” Bai Fengxi came closer.

“Swift Wind Walker,” Su Chen said.

“First-order advanced?” Bai Fengxi frowned slightly, cautiously reminding him, “The key training class will have regular assessments. If your progress doesn’t meet the standards, you’ll be expelled.”

The academy certainly wouldn’t let slackers freeload.

“How often?” Su Chen asked, calculating in his mind.

“Once a month.”

Bai Fengxi looked at Su Chen, who was deep in thought, and added, “Just make sure you’ve thought it through.”

Instructor Zheng was inspecting them one by one, checking their training progress.

Others didn’t have such intuitive data presentation as a panel; they could only rely on experience to judge how far the relevant skills required for the occupation had been trained.

The basic physical occupation requirements were not difficult, just improving physical strength, but perfect advancement was a bit challenging.

“…Idiot, did you secretly train again? Your abdominal and back muscles are clearly overdeveloped. If you continue training, you won’t be able to perfectly assume the position!”

Instructor Zheng scolded him, full of disappointment. The burly youth standing before him lowered his head, not daring to speak.

These guys came from all levels of Southwind City, but they hadn’t reached the point where they could be trained from a young age. Many of them even came from ordinary families and valued this opportunity greatly.

Seeing this, Su Chen couldn’t help but sigh, the Strongman was truly generous, allowing him to take the occupation directly, saving him so much trouble.

[The Strongman senses the host’s sincere gratitude, is in a good mood, and decides to devour the Swift Wind Walker.]

What was that?

The panel popped up abruptly, and Su Chen was greatly alarmed.

Bro, don’t mess around. If you get counter-killed, will I still have this Strongman occupation?
