My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Crimson Gold Talent! Hidden Gem (Bonus chapter, please vote!)

“Hmm, so that means I can gain unique advantages by learning a lot of forging methods.” Su Chen pondered the feasibility.

Based on his current understanding, few people do this.

The abilities born from forging methods are too uncertain, and mastering a certain forging method brings benefits to career development.

Except for career requirements, few people will learn more body forging methods.

“When the forging method is not proficient, the efficiency is indeed not high, but I have [Scholar], which can quickly improve proficiency and minimize the cost.”

“Sacrificing a little efficiency to gain ability…” Su Chen thought this was a very cost-effective deal. It’s not impossible to develop other forging methods.

“However, this requires a lot of forging method resources. It might have been difficult before, but now with Old Yuan’s backing, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Scanning the panel, the development of [Riftwalker Warrior] also reached 41%.

By mid-afternoon, the servant knocked on the door, and Yuan Chenyang was back.

In the living room, Old Yuan was rubbing his temples, looking quite tired, and Bai Fengxi was sitting beside him.

“Come here, kid.” He waved, motioning for Su Chen to sit down.

“Why are you only just back?” Su Chen took the teapot from the servant and poured a cup of tea for Yuan Chenyang.

Bai Fengxi raised an eyebrow, pointing to the empty cup in front of her.

Su Chen was speechless, and poured her a cup too.

“That old bastard…” Yuan Chenyang took a sip of tea and then cursed, sighing, “Kid, I’m sorry.”

“Huh?” Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He wouldn’t make him pay for Zhou Zong’s life, would he? He forcefully suppressed the unease in his heart and asked, “What happened?”

“You have to go to the Supervision Department.” Yuan Chenyang said with a helpless tone.

“Supervision… Department?” Su Chen was slightly stunned, hesitating, “Your old department?”

Yuan Chenyang nodded.

“Is this bad news?” Su Chen was a little confused.

Yuan Chenyang was the head of the Supervision Department, and he was his student. Going to the Supervision Department would be like finding a fish in water.

“Worthless!” Yuan Chenyang slammed down his cup, bitterly disappointed.

“He probably doesn’t know about the quota.” Bai Fengxi whispered.

Only then did Yuan Chenyang realize, and awkwardly said, “Uh, it’s like this, the academy has a quota every year for the Ying Feng Tribunal, which is extremely precious.”

“Tribunal?” Su Chen couldn’t help but look at Bai Fengxi, “Your teacher seems to be one of the judges, right?”

This was something Bai Fengxi had revealed in snippets.

“What ‘your teacher’, that’s your grand-teacher.” Yuan Chenyang coughed twice.

Su Chen: “…”

Yuan Chenyang continued, “The Tribunal is the cradle of all those in power, belonging to the direct lineage of Ying Feng.”

“Those who can go are all the outstanding talents from various cities. Originally, Zhang Hengyu had the greatest hope this year, but your sudden emergence aroused the City Lord’s apprehension.”

“The City Lord’s apprehension?” Su Chen realized, “Is he the City Lord’s son?”

“Yes.” Yuan Chenyang gritted his teeth, “Zhang Hongbo is a man with a kind face but a cold heart. In order to eliminate you as a potential threat, he wants to seal your records.”

“Damn, what an old bastard.” Su Chen also cursed loudly, but then added, “However, there’s nothing to be done, you don’t need to feel guilty towards me.”

Seeing that Su Chen held no grudge, Yuan Chenyang nodded inwardly. He had only told part of the story, deliberately creating a feeling of powerlessness.

He wanted to see if Su Chen would be upset if he showed that he couldn’t fight for it.

Their time together was too short, and Su Chen was a vagrant, so he didn’t fully understand his character.

Yuan Chenyang then explained, “However, this matter is not that simple. Even if you wanted to go this year, I wouldn’t let you. Your profile states you’re a vagrant, which is a natural disadvantage.”

“The higher-ups still discriminate against vagrants?” Su Chen frowned.

“It’s not discrimination, it’s some historical issues.” Yuan Chenyang said vaguely, “It’s difficult for the higher-ups to let vagrants become city lords or the like.”

“But my concession this time is that Zhang Hongbo will amend your file next year, removing your vagrant status.”

Only then did Su Chen understand. Because of his vagrant status, that quota basically had no hope. But Yuan Chenyang conducted some operations and reached an agreement with Zhang Hongbo through this deal. It seemed like a concession, but in reality, he achieved results.

“Thank you for your trouble.” Su Chen said sincerely.

“Since I took you as a student and took your things, I will naturally do my best.” Yuan Chenyang said casually, “You’re already a professional, staying at Nanfeng Academy doesn’t mean much.”

“The Supervision Department is also a good place for training.”

“Uh…” Su Chen thought for a moment and then asked, “Is work busy over there?”

He didn’t want to attend classes at Nanfeng Academy, and he didn’t want to work if he joined the Supervision Department.

Yuan Chenyang said grumpily, “You’re my student, who would dare control you over there? Just don’t leave too much leverage for others, and I can make things convenient for you.”

“Of course, it’s safer too.” Saying this, Yuan Chenyang paused and then asked, “Any other requests?”

Su Chen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, “One body forging method, one meditation method, and auxiliary potions, by the way, do you know about the [Scholar] profession, are there any similar professions?”

“Ordering takeout now.” Yuan Chenyang glared at him, “Don’t you understand that too much greedy for quick success will lead to nothing? You have a very good foundation for your profession, so focus on the physical aspect.”

“I’ve seen the professional information you gave me, and it’s estimated that advancing to the second tier [Swift Wind Hunter] won’t be a problem. Coincidentally, the Supervision Department has this professional information stored.”

“I feel like my spiritual talent is excellent.” Su Chen insisted.

“You feel?” Yuan Chenyang glanced at him, annoyed, “What good is feeling? Come… let me test you.”

With that, he took out the metal box beside him.

Buzz—the box opened, and white mist surged out, revealing a palm-sized hemispherical object, one silver and one black.

“First, measure the physique…” Yuan Chenyang pointed to the black hemisphere on the left.

Su Chen was quite surprised, not knowing how it worked, and placed his hand on it.

A hum was heard, and dense golden patterns appeared on the sphere. After about two or three breaths, a brilliant silver beam of light actually pierced through his palm.

“It’s indeed dazzling silver…” Yuan Chenyang’s expression softened, and he grinned, “I knew it, to be able to become a [Riftwalker Warrior] at such a young age, even with years of accumulation, the physical talent couldn’t be low.”

“Is it very high?” Su Chen couldn’t help but ask, it seemed to be the second to last in the talent sequence.

Yuan Chenyang explained, “It’s already very good. Most people don’t have talent. If resources are sufficient, even brass can be trained to the third tier. Zhang Hengyu is also dazzling silver, so becoming a fifth-tier professional shouldn’t be a problem.”

Su Chen was quite surprised, did he actually have some physical talent?

Why didn’t his previous self feel it, and was even much weaker than others.

After transmigrating, it was understandable for mental talent to increase, but physical talent probably couldn’t increase out of thin air.

“Could it be…” His heart stirred, “Scholar?”

Improving skill proficiency increases efficiency, which is equivalent to increasing talent. This thing in front of him probably couldn’t detect the difference.

“Let me test my spiritual talent…” Su Chen said when he saw Yuan Chenyang about to put it away.

Yuan Chenyang was speechless: “Spiritual talent is more precious than physical talent, and if spiritual talent is truly high, there will be unusual manifestations.”

“Moreover, there’s a certain conflict between spiritual and physical talent. If one is high, the other will be low.”

Though he said that, he didn’t stop Su Chen.

He could understand, who doesn’t hope to be one in a million?

Su Chen placed his other hand on the silver hemisphere. This time, he felt a cool sensation coursing up his arm and into his head.

It only took two or three breaths.

Suddenly, a crimson-gold beam of light pierced through his palm, bright and magnificent.

“Is this… crimson gold?” Su Chen looked up uncertainly.

He saw Yuan Chenyang staring blankly at the beam of light, mumbling, “There really are hidden gems after all!”
