My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 48

Chapter 48: The Oriole Behind

“Teacher, your heroic posture in debating against all odds is truly admirable,” Su Chen praised as he entered.

“Alright, enough flattering.” Yuan Chenyang waved his hand, his expression, however, softened considerably. “You finally decided to come out today.”

“I came to check on you, Teacher,” Su Chen asked, feigning curiosity. “What caused such a big commotion? Was it because of that Guiding?”

Yuan Chenyang rubbed his temples. “Why do you ask?”

Su Chen sighed. “I feel like some minor actions of mine caused a chain reaction, leading to you being surrounded by enemies.”

He was referring to draining the Guiding, while Yuan Chenyang assumed he meant discovering the empty shell of the Guiding.

“It has nothing to do with you. Don’t put any pressure on yourself,” Yuan Chenyang glanced at him, his eyes growing softer, emphasizing:

“I don’t have much time. I’ll be rotated to guard the ruins soon. I was going to investigate publicly anyway. If you hadn’t discovered the Guiding, today’s situation wouldn’t have been so easy to handle.”

“Is that so…” Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t explain swallowing the Guiding, and he would feel rather bad if he truly dragged Yuan Chenyang into trouble.

Yuan Chenyang seemed to be afraid that Su Chen would feel pressured, so he quickly added, “Besides, discovering a Guiding, no matter where, is a great merit!”

“It doesn’t mean it didn’t exist just because you didn’t discover it. Revealing it early is even better!”

“That’s right…” Su Chen thought for a moment, then changed his tone awkwardly, “Since it’s a merit…”

“I knew it.” Yuan Chenyang chuckled. “I’ve been suppressing Qi Chuan’s matter and haven’t publicized it. This merit is rather troublesome and difficult to reward, as the Mysterious God Cultists are still lurking in the shadows.”

“How about this, I’ll personally give you ten more portions of Black Flame Potion and Revitalization Potion.”

Su Chen had no objections. Awards and honors were secondary; tangible benefits were what mattered.

“Can the Revitalization Potion be exchanged for something better?” Su Chen rubbed his hands.

“You…” A hint of surprise appeared in Yuan Chenyang’s eyes. “As expected of a Crimson Gold talent. Our Supervision Department doesn’t have better stock. I’ll try to find a way for you.”

Su Chen felt he was being a bit excessive and asked cautiously, “That… do you still have any Liuli Blood?”

“Are you addicted to drinking it?” Yuan Chenyang asked kindly.

Seeing Su Chen nod, he snapped, “I don’t even get much of that stuff in a year. You’re only a first-order, yet you’re so willing to use it.”

“It won’t produce offspring if I keep it,” Su Chen retorted.

“No more, no more.” Yuan Chenyang waved his hands repeatedly. Seeing Su Chen still standing there, he figured it out. “Anything else?”

“I mentioned it to you before, special occupations…” Su Chen reminded him.

“Didn’t I give you the Arcane Apprentice?” Yuan Chenyang put the Guiding on the table back into the drawer.

“I was talking about something similar to a Scholar,” Su Chen said.

“Don’t bite off more than you can chew…” Yuan Chenyang leaned back, stroking his bald head and shaking it. “When I was young, I was just like you, full of curiosity about various occupations, and wasted a lot of time.”

“It’s not too late to explore when you reach my age, if you still have the energy then.”

“Furthermore, do you think special occupations are common? There aren’t many in Southwind City. Ying Feng should have some.”

“Ying Feng…” Su Chen was thoughtful. He wasn’t entirely ignorant of Ying Feng. Ying Feng’s knowledge blockade was quite strict.

Various official agencies in Southwind City only had information about second-order professions, but that was just on the surface.

“All right.” Su Chen gave up. Yuan Chenyang rubbed his temples and casually asked, “What level is your profession development at?”

“Around 70%,” Su Chen vaguely replied.

“That’s such a precise feeling?” Yuan Chenyang was quite surprised and quite pleased. “Not slow. I’ve carefully studied this Riftwalker Warrior, and it shouldn’t conflict with Gale Hunter.” “It’s estimated that you’ll become a second-order professional before long.”

Yuan Chenyang didn’t know what he was thinking, looking at Su Chen, he sighed emotionally: “For your age, to have such patience is truly rare. The potion I gave you last time, I thought it would take at least one or even two months to consume it all.”

“Talent is important, but character is even more important. Perhaps it’s also because you were once a vagrant, you will desperately seize every opportunity. Talented people who squandered their years are not unheard of, and as one gets older, talent will also degenerate…”

Beep–

As he was speaking, his Smart Bracelet buzzed. He opened it and Yuan Chenyang’s expression changed slightly, his brows furrowing into a frown. “Zhang Hongbo is here. Why is he back so soon?”

“No, if he’s back, what’s Zhou Xian doing here with so many people?”

Yuan Chenyang muttered, then suddenly cursed, “Old fox, he wants to see what cards I have. What a scoundrel!”

“The City Lord is back?” Su Chen’s mind raced. Yuan Chenyang clearly hadn’t expected it.

He guessed that Zhang Hongbo had received the news and was worried about Old Yuan causing trouble.

“You should head back first. I’ll arrange for Old Sun to deliver the items,” Yuan Chenyang said impatiently, dismissing him.

“Yes.” Su Chen nodded and walked directly out of the room. The elevator conveniently arrived upwards.

Ding!

Su Chen paused, and standing inside was none other than Zhang Hongbo. “City Lord.”

“Just call me Uncle Zhang.” Zhang Hongbo’s attitude was very kind, and he patted Su Chen on the shoulder.

Su Chen, following the flow, addressed him as “Uncle Zhang.”

“En…” Zhang Hongbo nodded, “Hengyu’s personality is a bit闷(sullen), you two can exchange more, and perhaps you can help each other out in Ying Feng in the future.”

“We greeted each other at the banquet that day. He is extraordinary and has your demeanor,” Su Chen said sincerely.

Zhang Hongbo stared at him for a while before letting out a wry smile and shaking his head, “Go down.”

Watching the elevator door close, the smile on his face faded. The moment he stepped into Yuan Chenyang’s room, he sternly said, “Yuan Chenyang, what are you trying to do!”

“I’ve only been gone for ten days, and you’ve turned the entire Southwind City upside down. Do you want to be the City Lord, or not?!”

“I wouldn’t dare…” Yuan Chenyang glared coldly, feeling disgusted, and said in a deep voice, “City Lord, you should already know the specific situation. It’s truly urgent.”

“There are members of the Mysterious God Cult in the Supervision Department, the City Patrol Team, and the Exploration Team. The power within the Guiding has completely dissipated. I don’t know what they did.”

Zhang Hongbo’s voice was cold: “Those small fry from the City Patrol Team, a few are found every year. I’m not clear about the situation in the Supervision Department, but the person from the Exploration Team has been on the observation list.”

“As for that Guiding, it’s indeed troublesome.” He paused, “But since you haven’t found anything despite such a big commotion, it’s probably not as you imagined.”

Yuan Chenyang’s temples throbbed. He suspected this old fox didn’t return today at all, but rather had been secretly watching what he could uncover.

Then, Zhang Hongbo’s tone softened, “Internal supervision is the responsibility of the Supervision Department, and a Guiding was also found, but there are growing complaints in the city, and there are some things I can’t do.”

“What do you mean?” Yuan Chenyang stared at him.

Zhang Hongbo narrated, “I came back in a hurry, and there was no one guarding the ruins. The council has decided that you will be rotated early to guard the ruins.”

“Advanced rotation?” Yuan Chenyang rose abruptly. Zhang Hongbo said expressionlessly, “Furthermore, the people from Ying Feng just arrived, and they also agreed.”

Yuan Chenyang’s words were choked in his throat, veins throbbing on his forehead. After a long while, he finally forced out, “Good.”

“Your intentions are good, and we all understand that, but you also need to consider the methods,” Zhang Hongbo comforted him. “I will temporarily take over the Supervision Department. Don’t worry.”
