My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Professional Advancement! Ability Enhancement! So that’s how it is!

Seeing Hu Xiang’s bewildered expression, he explained, “This involves some arrangements by the teacher, and we can’t use people from the Supervision Department.”

“Oh.” Hu Xiang looked enlightened, though he didn’t know what he had imagined, and then explained, “I have ten more days in my rotation period, and then I’ll be on a month and a half long grand patrol.”

“I see.” Su Chen nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then they went their separate ways.

…

With potions continuously consumed, Su Chen’s professional development progress and training method progress were visibly improving at an astonishing rate.

Rumble!

The thunder reverberating across the sky brought Su Chen back from his immersive training.

He walked out of the gravity training room and went to the window, pulling back the curtains, revealing a look of surprise.

“It’s actually raining…”

It was the first time Su Chen had seen rain since he came to this world for so long. Thunder rolled across the sky, painting large areas in a dazzling white.

Su Chen opened the window, and a decaying smell immediately wafted in. The raindrops were not transparent, appearing grayish-white, as if mixed with mist.

“Today is the day.”

Su Chen closed the window, and the panel appeared. After [Gale Hunter], the large characters “Advancement” glowed brightly.

With the aid of potions and incessant day and night training, all the occupational requirements had been met.

The professional development progress had reached 100% two days ago.

And the [Snake Shadow Body Forging Technique] had just reached the master level, acquiring an ability called [Snake Shadow], which allows leaving afterimages during high-speed movement to interfere with enemies.

Su Chen took a deep breath and adjusted his posture.

“Advancement” dissipated into碎流光 on the panel. At this moment, thunder roared!

Su Chen felt a surge of heat erupt from an unknown place, rapidly spreading throughout his entire body.

First, an itching, a deep bone-gnawing itch, as if ants were gnawing on his bones, but soon this itching was covered by pain.

All the muscles, tendons, and even cells in his body were undergoing transformation. His face turned red, his exposed skin turned pale bluish-white. In the sealed room, a breeze came from nowhere, and the curtains fluttered.

[Riftwalker Warrior successfully advanced to Gale Hunter]

[Wind Erosion Enhancement – Wrath of the Gale]: Attacks can be imbued with highly compressed wind elemental power.】

[Wind Armor Enhancement – Wind Barrier]: Gather wind elements to form armor.】

[Wind Walk Enhancement – Hidden Wind Shadow]: Walk with the wind, hidden within the wind.】

[Acquired Professional Ability – Wild Hunt]: Significantly increases speed, strength, and control and perception of wind elements.】

Words kept appearing on the panel, and the pain in Su Chen’s body intensified. A green wind current surged on the surface of his skin.

A fierce wind howled in the room, and tables, chairs, and benches clattered non-stop before finally stopping after a long while.

“Hoo…” Su Chen exhaled a breath, carrying fine blue wind currents that rolled far away.

His body felt light as if it was about to float, and the feeling of abundant power made him feel as if he could tear apart everything in front of him.

After a long time, he finally adapted to this feeling. He looked at the panel with a thoughtful expression: “So that’s how it is… abilities will be strengthened, not completely abandoned.”

This resolved one of his doubts. According to the information he had previously obtained, there was a vast difference between different ranks. The best approach should be to find simple and easy professions, and then quickly climb to higher levels.

Although top-tier professions were powerful at their current rank, they were far inferior to higher ranks.

He only understood after this advancement that when a profession advances, the abilities of lower-ranked professions will also be strengthened and transformed.

The strength of a top-tier profession’s abilities would certainly be higher than that of a lower-ranked one.

He stroked his chin, “In this way, even if they are both second-tier advanced professions, the one promoted from a first-tier intermediate profession will have lower actual strength than the one promoted from a first-tier advanced profession. This is the importance of foundation.” “And this advantage, if accumulated layer by layer to a higher tier, will probably become even more obvious. No wonder first-tier top-tier is so precious; it turns out to be the foundation of foundations.”

Su Chen carefully sensed, “Hmm… the abilities gained from the body refining technique have also disappeared, no… they haven’t disappeared but have been deeply integrated into the body as a foundation.”

“Even with the same profession, there are differences, and these differences lie in these accumulations.”

The last bit of discomfort in his body receded, and Su Chen stood up, moving his body. With a slight effort, he could spring to the ceiling.

Attempting to activate the new ability [Wrath of the Gale], just by clenching and raising his fist, a small, swirling tornado formed near his arm. The air in the room was instantly sucked out, and tables and chairs fell to the ground.

“So fierce…” Su Chen quickly dispersed it and savored the feeling. The destructive power had definitely increased tenfold or more.

This greatly heightened his interest, and he quickly experimented with other abilities, and sure enough, they all showed very significant enhancements.

[Wind Barrier] transformed from a small, close-fitting wind field into an ethereal armor almost solidified into substance.

[Hidden Wind Shadow] was even more obvious. With a slight movement, a blue wind current followed Su Chen’s feet, then gradually covered him, and his figure gradually became blurred.

The stealth ability even surpassed that of the [Shadow-Hiding Clothes].

As for the exclusive professional ability of the [Gale Hunter], [Wild Hunt].

“This seems to be an all-around buff…” Su Chen, after activating it, only felt his body enter a peculiar state.

His heart beat faster, the feeling of expanded power became more obvious, his senses were heightened to the extreme, and he could even feel the air flowing over his skin, as well as various mixed smells.

His mental perception couldn’t achieve such fine detail.

“In this state, if an enemy attacks, I can react quickly…” Su Chen carefully sensed it, and soon withdrew, as it consumed a lot.

Just after levelling up, his body was still very weak. After trying out various abilities for a while, he felt a faint fatigue.

But the improvement in his strength still made him quite happy.

The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, and the entire world seemed to be covered in a gray filter.

Su Chen tried to continue training, but found that both the Black Flame Potion and the Tier 1 body training methods were ridiculously inefficient.

“Tier 2 potions… and body forging methods, these also need to be prioritized, but it’s too difficult to get them normally.”

After experiencing the benefits of auxiliary potions, it would be difficult to return to the arduous grind.

Su Chen pondered, his eyes dim, “But right now, I still have to solve a problem.”

…

“It can basically be confirmed that Patrol Team Seventeen did go out on the night Qi Chuan died.”

In the Supervision Department, Patrol Division, Deputy Section Chief’s office, Pan Yu’s fingers unconsciously traced lines on the desk, his eyes unfocused:

“If Qi Chuan was really targeted by Yuan Chenyang, then why would they use the patrol team to encircle and kill him?”

More than half a month had passed since Yuan Chenyang left, and he vaguely felt that he was close to the truth of the matter.

The people behind him had asked him to investigate what happened on the night Qi Chuan died, specifically emphasizing that Su Chen might be a breakthrough.

But he also knew that as the Director’s student, Su Chen’s identity was very sensitive, so he could only subtly gather information from Patrol Team Seventeen at first.

He then planned to trick Su Chen into going out and find an opportunity to act, but the kid was surprisingly lazy and had decided not to go out.

He could only turn his attention to the Seventeenth Patrol Team again. After a few days of investigation, he had confirmed many things, but to get more, he had to take action.

“Su Chen…” He took out a white chess piece and placed it on the table, staring at it for a long time.

Then, he took out several black chess pieces and scattered them on the table, shaking his head and saying, “You can only blame yourselves for being assigned with him by coincidence.”

He didn’t want to deal with these small fries, as it would easily alert Su Chen, but now he had no choice.
