My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 34

Chapter 34: The Power of Molten Rock

“I wonder if Su Chen has managed to draw out Qi Chuan’s people.”

Jiang He, who had returned to the academy, saw Su Chen leaving with Bai Fengxi.

She had learned about the appearance of the ruins from her father. This patrol only lasted a day or two, so Qi Chuan’s people probably hadn’t made a move yet.

Or perhaps they had already made a move; she’d find a chance to ask him.

“Just right…” Jiang He licked her lips.

“A Green-Scaled Lion Pack, with the leader being a second-tier mutated beast, have you ever seen anything like it? At its most dangerous, it was only half a meter from me…”

“You don’t know how dangerous the situation was then. It was thanks to Brother Su that we turned the tide…”

Jiang He paused, glancing at a small group that had just gathered in the distance, where someone was spouting saliva.

“Liu Liang…” Jiang He recognized the person, who was also one of the students who had gone out of the city this time.

“Who is Brother Su?” someone asked blankly.

“You don’t even know Brother Su…” Liu Liang’s eyes widened. “Su Chen!”

“Oh, Teacher Jiang He’s kept man!” someone suddenly understood.

“What kept man? Watch your words!” Liu Liang scolded angrily. “My Brother Su alone, click-click-click, took down the entire Green-Scaled Lion Pack except for the leader, and the battle didn’t last more than ten minutes.”

“What? Is that true?”

“He’s that powerful?”

Exclamations rose and fell, and Jiang He’s pupils contracted. He took down the Green-Scaled Lion Pack?

That kid was actually that strong.

“Not only that…” Liu Liang looked mysterious. “The theft case at our school a while ago, you know about it, right?”

Everyone nodded like chickens pecking rice.

“My Brother Su cracked that too!” Liu Liang said proudly, “Brother Su is Vice Principal Yuan’s student, secretly lurking within the patrol team, and he found the stolen items in one fell swoop. Even the city lord praised him greatly.”

Jiang He stiffly turned her head. Yuan Chenyang’s student? Secretly lurking? What was all this?

“Sigh…” Liu Liang’s eyes narrowed, and he saw Jiang He standing on the periphery, and couldn’t help but excitedly shout, “Sister-in-law!”

Sister-in-law? Jiang He’s face darkened, and she hastily left.

It wasn’t that no one had called her sister-in-law before, but no one had called her that from Su Chen’s perspective, and she also had her pride.

The crowd reluctantly withdrew their gaze from Jiang He’s graceful back, and someone suddenly said, “So, Su Chen isn’t Teacher Jiang He’s kept man?”

“Nonsense!” Liu Liang spat angrily. “My Brother Su is dashing and unrestrained, and he and Teacher Jiang are a wretched couple… no, deeply in love. How is he a kept man?”

“From now on, whoever calls my Brother Su a kept man, I’ll fight them!”

…

Yuan Chenyang’s house was also a standalone villa deep in Southwind City. There was no hostess, so it was empty, with many rooms.

“Old Bai…” Su Chen called out. After figuring out Bai Fengxi’s identity, he didn’t mind calling her Senior Uncle, but Bai Fengxi seemed unable to accept it and still wanted him to call her Old Bai.

“Family doesn’t speak in two tongues. Do you have any powerful mental meditation methods?”

“Strike while the iron is hot…” Bai Fengxi secretly complained, then pondered, “You want to cultivate both physical and mental dual professions simultaneously?”

“Isn’t that the standard for geniuses?”

Where did that theory come from? Bai Fengxi shook her head and said, “Let’s first take a look at your mental talent. If it’s not very good, then don’t waste time.”

Su Chen was quite curious, “What are the criteria for this talent?”

His previous body had no memory of this, and in Southwind Academy, few people mentioned it, only knowing that there was such a thing as talent.

“Normal talents are usually divided into bronze, bright silver, vermillion gold, etc…” Bai Fengxi explained, “The quality of talent mainly determines the speed at which you practice cultivation methods, and also affects the progress of your professional development.” “There are also some special talents…” At this point, she paused before saying, “For example, some are extremely compatible with certain specific professions, but they are very rare.”

The two discussed for a while, and soon after, the door opened.

But it wasn’t Yuan Chenyang who returned, it was…

“Brother Su Chen?” Little Pigeon excitedly ran over, then stopped abruptly in front of Su Chen, “Why are you here?”

Su Chen grinned and pinched Little Pigeon’s cheek, “To see how you’re doing. Living in such a big house, it’s very comfortable.”

Little Pigeon batted away Su Chen’s hand in displeasure, while Bai Fengxi gently said, “He’ll be living here from now on.”

“Huh?” Little Pigeon was surprised, suspiciously eyeing the two, and frowned, “Brother Su Chen, what have you done with your body again?”

Bai Fengxi’s fair cheeks noticeably stiffened, and Su Chen said irritably, “Kids shouldn’t talk nonsense.”

“When you made me carry bricks before, you didn’t think I was a kid, and you even made me carry a couple more.” Little Pigeon said disdainfully.

“More carrying, more earning.”

“Miss, sir, do you want dinner tonight?” the maid who had brought Little Pigeon back asked.

Bai Fengxi snapped back to attention, “Does he also need nutrient solution, or just for Little Pigeon?”

Su Chen closed his mouth, which had just opened. He had been planning the same thing.

The three chatted noisily for a long time, mainly Little Pigeon doing the talking.

After dinner, Yuan Chenyang still hadn’t returned, so Bai Fengxi took him to the tidied room.

“Do you have any Body Forging Potion?” Su Chen stopped her.

Bai Fengxi glanced at him, “Wait.”

Before long, she brought a bottle of Blood-activating Potion.

“Blood-activating potion, huh…” Su Chen was slightly disappointed, but still said, “Thanks.”

Bai Fengxi left speechless.

The room was quite large. Su Chen took a quick look, then struck a pose. He poured the Blood-activating Potion into his mouth, and the familiar surging sensation echoed through his body.

For four or five consecutive days, Su Chen stayed there. Yuan Chenyang, for whatever reason, never returned.

He drank seven or eight servings of Blood-activating Potion from Bai Fengxi, so much so that her face would darken every time Su Chen knocked on her door.

On this day, Su Chen sat cross-legged on the floor, his skin turning crimson, magma-like patterns almost entirely spreading across his body. His teeth were clenched, and sweat, as soon as it emerged, vaporized and disappeared.

Suddenly, Su Chen’s movements paused. He felt a stinging pain all over his body. The magma patterns on his skin completely spread across his entire body, and then he felt as if he had entered a hot spring.

【Molten Rock Training Method—Master】

【Gained Ability—Molten Rock Power: Body withstands magma, skin tough as rock】

The 【Molten Rock Training Method】 reaching the Master level and acquiring its ability was immediately effective. Su Chen only felt a numb sensation all over his skin, as if ants were crawling beneath his muscles. This feeling lasted for a while before receding.

“Tough as rock…” Su Chen stroked his skin, clearly feeling the hardening of his stratum corneum.

He casually picked up a dagger and tried it on his skin, but it only left a white mark.

“A first-tier profession known for its defense, it’s probably just like this,” Su Chen couldn’t help but think, his gaze fixed even more intensely on the panel.

He had already figured out that other training methods could indeed give rise to peculiar abilities.

However, each required a vast amount of time and dedicated study, and there was no guarantee of success, meaning such occurrences were highly coincidental.

Yet, all he needed to do was elevate it to the Master level, and the ability would naturally manifest. This advantage was unparalleled.
