My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 171

“That’s right, everyone wants the Morning Star profession. My disciples have a few good prospects who might be able to gain recognition, or even be chosen,” Qing Cang said sincerely, without holding anything back.

This is a rare opportunity; otherwise, once the spirituality is retrieved, it will inevitably lead to a scramble, and the difficulty of acquiring it afterwards will increase exponentially.

The Bronze Giant pondered for a moment, “Someone on that planet has already gained recognition. After all, it’s your uncle’s home planet, and it’s rare for new talents to emerge there.”

“Master!” Qing Cang immediately knelt down and said, “I will only bring three people, I beg Master to grant my request!”

“Hmm…” The Bronze Giant was silent for another moment before saying, “Since that’s the case, I’ll allow it.”

A glimmer of joy flashed in Qing Cang’s eyes, but then he heard the Bronze Giant’s faint warning:

“Just one thing, do not harm the person who has been recognized without authorization.”

“Qing Cang wouldn’t dare!” He shivered inwardly, about to leave.

Just then, the Bronze Giant suddenly let out a soft “eh,” looking at the constantly trembling Red Statue beside him with surprise.

“Strange…” he said.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Qing Cang asked, puzzled.

“Another person has gained recognition, how interesting,” the Bronze Giant seemed to be deep in thought.

“Another person?” Qing Cang was also stunned and couldn’t help but say, “That Scarlet Thunder Star is not only enveloped and eroded by Nethermist, but it has also long been targeted by Demonic Gods, and its population is dwindling. How can two recognized people still emerge?”

He knew very well how discerning the Morning Star’s spirituality was.

And now, two people being recognized consecutively genuinely astonished him.

“Could it be… an outsider?”

Qing Cang suddenly had a guess, and he felt a hint of urgency. If a chosen one were to emerge, it would be troublesome.

Perhaps because of the consecutive appearance of two recognized individuals, the Bronze Giant became even more interested. “Scarlet Thunder…”

He flicked a finger, and a bronze light beam shot out, coalescing into hundreds of intricate components, which were then drawn by an invisible force, making continuous clicking sounds as they assembled.

By the time it landed before Qing Cang’s eyes, it had transformed into a palm-sized bronze figurine, which then disappeared into Qing Cang’s body.

Qing Cang sighed in his heart, now he could only act according to the rules.

“Go,” the Bronze Giant said, and Qing Cang assented and retreated.

…………

Ying Feng, at the city’s entry review office, a group of people with restrained expressions disembarked from a dilapidated spaceship. They all looked relatively young.

As soon as they got off, they were ushered to one side to undergo interrogation for inspection and review.

“People from Gujiang City?” The examiner looked at the documents, scanning each person in front of him with a suspicious gaze.

“It’s already mid-June, why are you so late? According to your city’s report, you should have arrived half a month ago.”

A middle-aged man, who seemed to be in charge, showed a bitter smile and displayed his bandaged broken arm: “We encountered mutated creatures on the way and barely survived after a difficult struggle.”

“Mutated creatures?” The examiner’s expression softened, but he didn’t easily believe it. He immediately accessed the spaceship’s log and began to search.

The dilapidated spaceship was a bit outdated, but it had a few external probes that recorded the attack of mutated creatures: a group of ferocious birds with blue wings.

“Ice-Winged Birds, actually…” The examiner’s face changed slightly, “These are tier-three gregarious mutated creatures.”

“Indeed…” The middle-aged man’s face showed a pained expression, “It was only by the desperate efforts of more than a dozen brothers that we managed to lure them away.”

The examiner also sighed, and then smiled. “Alright, brother, it’s a routine check, don’t mind it. The scrutiny has been quite strict recently.”

The middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly, “It’s fine, no problem.”

The examiner thought for a moment and then reminded him, “However, the assessments for all institutions in the city have been suspended. You will probably have to stay in Ying Feng for some time.”

“Assessments suspended?” The middle-aged man looked stunned. He hadn’t been able to communicate during the journey and was unaware of this news. He quickly asked for specific details.

Upon learning that there was no definite time for the assessments to resume, he couldn’t help but look anxious. “This… what should I do? I didn’t bring much money, and some precious metals I prepared were lost on the way due to the mutated creatures’ attack.”

The examiner immediately reassured him, “You don’t have to worry about that. Ying Feng has arranged unified accommodation, and basic food and lodging will be covered by Ying Feng, but any extra expenses will be yours.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but say, “Ying Feng’s consideration is truly thoughtful.”

After their identification documents were distributed, everyone entered the city. Most of the young people from Gujiang City were curious about Ying Feng. They looked around as they walked, marveling at the sights.

One person among them had a radiant smile on his face. Like others, he exclaimed at the various novelties of Ying Feng, but in his mind, he was thinking,

“I wonder who saw through the faceless body I created.”

The faceless believers in Ying Feng City had long been wiped out. New ones trying to infiltrate and get information would also need some time.

To this day, he still didn’t know what exactly happened in Ying Feng City that caused the destruction of his expensive vessel, which he had created at great cost.

Of course, investigating why his vessel was destroyed was just one of his goals.

“First, I’ll throw out some bait for you all to take.”

Capture Ying Feng? He didn’t want to do such a thankless task. His objective from beginning to end was only one: to draw out most of Ying Feng City’s forces.

Hmm… this guy… seems to have a distant cousin in the Tribunal, whose status is quite reasonable. What was his name again?

He searched his memory and quickly found it. It was He Kang.

The young man’s smile grew even brighter and more cheerful.

………

“A promise, I will not forget. Just let me know when the Chief is ready to depart.”

Everyone had returned to the Tribunal. Wu Chenpei was talking with Chong Jingtian, seeming to have regained his composure.

Chong Jingtian was in high spirits, his smile growing even gentler. “The Holy Envoy is a man of his word. We will depart in these two days, please be prepared.”

“Understood.” Wu Chenpei nodded, and then said, “Also, remember to contact the other two cities to restart the exploration of the ruins, Chief.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already made contact.” Chong Jingtian chuckled. The situation was different now. With Su Chen in hand, he was even more eager to open the ruins than Wu Chenpei.

Wu Chenpei also realized this point, feeling as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. He no longer had the leisure to say more, so he simply gave a couple of instructions and left.

It wasn’t until he got into the hovercar, with the energy shielding them, that the suppressed emotions he had held for so long were released. The Holy Envoy’s face became uncontrollably grim.

Beside him sat Hong Xuan, whose face was equally ashen.

Neither of them spoke for the first time. What happened today had disrupted all their plans and subsequent actions.

The fact that Wu Chenpei could still force himself to exchange a few words with Chong Jingtian just now was a testament to his years of cultivation. “Su Chen must die!” Hong Xuan suddenly spoke, his voice cold and sharp.

Hearing Hong Xuan’s words, Wu Chenpei frowned involuntarily: “Kill him in the Tribunal? Can we still get out? Let’s not mention this again.”

Annihilate Ying Feng, annihilate Chong Jingtian’s hope, do you really think Ying Feng would not dare to flip the table?

Do you really think Xia Hanshi is too old to move?

“You… lost your composure.” Wu Chenpei emphasized further.

Hong Xuan’s expression tightened, and then he sighed, explaining, “This isn’t a personal grudge, I don’t have any personal grudges with him either. But if he’s around, I’m not confident I can become the chosen one.”

He spoke with extreme conviction, and Wu Chenpei’s brow furrowed. He had suspected this before, but once Hong Xuan confirmed it, it was different. He couldn’t help but say:

“Not even a little bit of confidence? Even after becoming a Saint?”

After acquiring the Saint, they had meticulously studied it. The requirements, in some aspects, were indeed stringent, but not entirely without solutions.

Yuandu had already researched feasible methods. They had a 70% chance of enabling Hong Xuan to become a Saint during their journey to the ruins, and the professional effect could reach nearly 50%.

Hong Xuan’s face changed, and he said helplessly, “You don’t understand.”

“The scene at that time, which was called ‘Manifestation of the Spirit Dragon Tripod,’ should appear in the scene of a chosen one’s birth, it is a precursor to being chosen.”

“If it weren’t for the incomplete spirituality, Su Chen would have already become the chosen one. I’m afraid he and the Great Venerable Scarlet Flame and Thunder must be incredibly compatible.”

Su Chen’s talent was clearly inferior to his, yet he still received such a high degree of recognition. The only possibility was an extremely high compatibility with the profession.

Professional compatibility… this was an innate factor completely beyond control. Hong Xuan’s heart was filled with frustration. After years of dormancy, at the critical moment, such a mishap occurred again.

“Incredibly compatible.” Wu Chenpei’s heart was shaken. After a long while, he said in a tone filled with extremely complex emotions, “How did Ying Feng… find such a person?”

“I want to know too!” Hong Xuan couldn’t help but say in a raised voice.

Wu Chenpei didn’t mind his impoliteness and slowly said, “We can’t touch him in Ying Feng; we’ll have to wait until we’re on our way to the ruins.”

He had made his decision. Yuandu had invested too much for this, and there was no turning back now.

Hong Xuan was not surprised by his decision, only saying in a deep voice, “It must be before the spirituality is complete.”

Wu Chenpei nodded silently.

………

“Teacher, is that the ruin?” Su Chen watched Wu Chenpei and the other two leave, and quietly asked Xia Hanshi.

“Hmm.” Xia Hanshi clearly knew what Su Chen meant, and his expression was inevitably complex. “It’s the ruin I originally wanted you to go to.”

“That half-slab was found in that ruin. Wu Chenpei and his brother were also there at the time. We killed his brother and severely injured him to snatch it.”

Xia Hanshi spoke the latter half of the sentence lightly, but Su Chen couldn’t help but be surprised, “Killed his brother?”

He had also met Wu Chenpei a few times. Besides today, there was also that time in the arena. He always seemed calm and friendly when interacting with Chong Jingtian and others.

He never expected such a deep-seated hatred between the two parties.

“A biting dog doesn’t bark.” Xia Hanshi said meaningfully. Wei Yu Fan silently turned and left, while Ming Lin, curious, shuffled a few steps closer.

“How did that relic come to be jointly governed by the four cities?” Su Chen asked curiously. He had heard Old Sang mention it, but hadn’t asked in depth at the time.

“After the slab was snatched, Yuandu, unwilling to accept defeat, united with the other two cities to pressure us. Under duress, we had no choice but to open it up,” Chong Jingtian interjected, explaining.

Yuandu is weaker than Ying Feng, but by uniting with the other two cities, the situation reverses.

“In that case, if we want to open the ruins, will the other two cities be willing?” Su Chen couldn’t help but wonder.

He and Hong Xuan had no connection with Lieyang and Tianqing. No matter who became the chosen one, the other two cities would not get any benefit.

Chong Jingtian said lightly, “We and Yuandu have already reached an agreement. They can’t refuse even if they want to.”

Oh… Su Chen suddenly understood. Essentially, Lieyang and Tianqing were merely used by Yuandu to counter Ying Feng.

Now that Ying Feng and Yuandu have reached an agreement, the remaining two cities can only cooperate.

“Moreover, every once in a while, we open that ruin for exploration, to see if there are any unexpected gains,” Jiang Shumo added, explaining to him: “Lieyang and Tianqing don’t know about this profession.”

Su Chen nodded, but sharply noticed the change in Judge Jiang’s attitude. Before, his attitude towards him, though not hostile, always felt like it carried scrutiny.

And now, the scrutiny had vanished without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented gentleness.

“After we deal with the faceless ghost cultists, we will head to that ruin to complete the spirituality. You should prepare well.” Chong Jingtian patted his shoulder firmly.

The Royal Court… if the original plan were followed, Su Chen replacing Hong Xuan would not only solve the thorny problem of the Sacred Feast.

“Higher-level body tempering and meditation methods are also very important to us…” Chong Jingtian couldn’t help but think. If it weren’t for the lack of corresponding meditation and body tempering methods for the seventh rank, his strength could have been much stronger.

Leaving aside other things, Ying Feng would definitely be able to produce an eighth-rank professional in the future.

“Yes.” Su Chen nodded, and Chong Jingtian quickly went to handle the next matters.

“Xia Hanshi…” Pu Zhenghong hadn’t left yet, and called out with a hint of hesitation, “When Su Chen goes to the ruins later…”

“None of your business.” Xia Hanshi was very impolite, picked up Su Chen, and left.

Pu Zhenghong’s face darkened, and he flicked his sleeve and walked away.

What kind of deep hatred do these two have?

Su Chen muttered to himself, originally wanting to ask Old Pu how he managed to engrave the symbols from the stone slab onto the defensive spirit ring.

That idiot spirituality can’t even see the recognized person, and has to wait until the spirituality is complete before revealing the professional requirements.

“Su Chen…” Ming Lin caught up, looked at Xia Hanshi walking ahead, and hesitated, wanting to say something. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and asked, “What requirements do you need to be recognized?”

Ming Lin was somewhat unwilling, having entered and remembered nothing, scratching his head in frustration.

“I don’t know either.” Su Chen shook his head, only able to prevaricate: “Double talents, neither can be low, right?”

“Dual talents?” Ming Lin was crestfallen, inwardly cursing, *Where do all these freaks come from?*

A moment later, he collected himself and asked curiously, “Then what about that Great Venerable? Is it a mental-type or physical-type profession?”

“Ah, that…” Su Chen was startled. He really hadn’t considered that question. After pondering for a while, he said, “It should be physical-type.”

He suddenly thought of a question: if the Great Venerable was physical, then would he still need to find a mental-type Morning Star professional?
