Chapter 57: I Am Already Tier 2

    “Huh, why is there no result?” Su Chen waited for a moment and found no more information after the “…”.

    “This Heituo Cultist is quite tenacious, as expected of a special profession. Last time, the Arcane Apprentice immediately knelt down. It seems that this kind of iron fist education still needs some time to make him turn over a new leaf.”

    Su Chen grumbled to himself, estimating that there wouldn’t be any problems, and all the professionals seemed confident.

    Putting away the precious metals and other items on the ground, Su Chen stretched, habitually pulled out a Black Flame Potion from his storage space, intended to put it back, but then gulped it down.

    There were two tubes left, and letting them sit was just letting them sit.

    “I don’t feel anything anymore.”

    Before he even had a chance to try the effect in the gravity room, he clearly felt the difference. The fiery burning sensation he used to feel was now completely gone, like drinking a cup of tea, utterly useless.

    “I guess the one-time gravity room won’t be of much use either.”

    “Tier 2 potions, E-grade Body Tempering Method… resources ah…” Su Chen rubbed his brows, thinking hard. He didn’t have any channels to obtain them. “I still have to rely on the Supervision Department.”

    Feeling a bit hungry, Su Chen simply went out to the Supervision Department cafeteria for breakfast. After drinking all sorts of potions, his mouth felt like it had lost its taste.

    He picked two large chicken legs, as thick as an arm, which were said to be “Mountain-running Chicken,” and a bowl of golden, oily meat soup. He found a corner and began to feast.

    “Section Chief Pan is late today.” A few patrol guards nearby were chatting. “It’s surprising, he’s usually one of the first to arrive.”

    “Maybe he felt like sleeping in today.”

    The few of them just treated it as mealtime banter, said a few words, and then moved on to other topics.

    “Arriving early and leaving late, so passionate about his work, and no one found him problematic?”

    Su Chen secretly scoffed, still calculating in his mind, “Without revealing my Tier 2 profession, it’s probably impossible to easily obtain these resources… there shouldn’t be any problems… but that City Lord is really…”

    Thump! Thump! Thump!

    “You really are here…”

    Mid-meal, a shadow enveloped him. Fatty Sun tapped on the table and sat opposite him, melancholically refusing the chicken leg Su Chen offered. “The guard said the elevator stopped at the cafeteria, I didn’t quite believe it at first.”

    “My mouth is dry, have a taste.” Su Chen’s tone was much more relaxed.

    “My dear fellow, you sure know how to have fun,” he complained. “Last night, I was suddenly notified to go celebrate Zhou Li’s promotion, and you were the one who informed everyone, but you didn’t show up.”

    “That Zhou Li, she was truly dressed to the nines, fragrant. When I got home, I still had her perfume on me, and your Sister-in-law almost tore me apart.”

    “Didn’t something urgent come up? Please trouble Brother to entertain them on my behalf.”

    Su Chen invited Sun Tai to sit down. Last night, just in case, he had not only informed Han Da.

    He also called out all the other patrol team members, using the reason of celebrating Zhou Li’s promotion as a messenger.

    Hearing Su Chen say this, Fatty Sun waved his hand. “That’s alright, but Zhou Li was indeed very unhappy, waiting for you all night.”

    Su Chen just smiled at this, then asked, “Brother Sun, I was just about to look for you.”

    “I want to ask, what are the channels to get Tier 2 potions and E-grade Body Tempering Methods?”

    “Tier 2… for your friend?” Fatty Sun pondered, his small eyes narrowing. “It’s not easy. Tier 2 potions are usually purchased from other places, and the trade team only comes once a month, with fixed allocations.”

    “On the black market, a single portion can sell for seven or eight thousand, the premium is too high.”

    “Allocation?” Su Chen asked, surprised.

    “That’s right…” Fatty Sun nodded. “Tier 2 professionals are basically managers of various organizations, and they are allocated a fixed amount of training potions.”

    “As for E-grade Body Tempering Methods, you need authorization from a director to allocate them,” Fatty Sun said. “Right now, it probably needs the City Lord’s approval.” Su Chen thought for a moment, then straightened up: “Actually, it’s not for my friend, it’s for me.”

    “You?” Fatty Sun didn’t react for a moment, then suddenly sat up straight from the sofa, his eyes wide with astonishment, exclaiming, “You’re already Tier 2?”

    Not far away, several Supervision Guards looked over in surprise, seemingly having faintly heard the words “Tier 2,” and their suspicious gazes swept over Su Chen.

    “Yes.” Su Chen nodded. Since the Supervision Department had a quota system, there was no need to deliberately hide it. Requesting resources as soon as possible was the best approach.

    “Truly…” Sun Tai’s face showed a complex expression. “Too fast, such perseverance.”

    Ever since Su Chen came to the Supervision Department, he had hardly left.

    Sun Tai hadn’t felt anything special about it before, but now that he suddenly heard this news, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

    After saying that, he brightened up again. “Come on, let’s go, don’t eat anymore. Let’s go see the City Lord. You deserve everything you’re supposed to get, not a single bit less.”

    ………

    “Still no clues?”

    In the Exploration Department’s top-floor office, Yang Yan looked displeased at Zhang Hongbo. “We couldn’t find anything openly, and after searching in secret for so long, we still have no results.”

    Zhang Hongbo’s face also looked bad. “I thought Southwind City was full of undercurrents, but it seems not. Zhou Xian has also been very honest.”

    Yang Yan was very dissatisfied: “It’s impossible for the Mysterious God Cult to transport an Empty Artifact Shell in for no reason. There must be something you haven’t discovered.”

    “No fanfare, no secret investigations yielded any results… Zhou Xian also made no moves.” Zhang Hongbo paused. “Let’s try another method, flush out the snake.”

    “Tell me about it,” Yang Yan said, looking at him.

    Zhang Hongbo hesitated and shook his head, “It’s just a bit risky.”

    “If it’s not risky, are we just going to wait for death?” Yang Yan shook his head.

    These guys, having been local tyrants for so long, are afraid of everything.

    “It’s not us taking the risk, it’s letting the people below take the risk.” Zhang Hongbo sighed.

    “Since they are protected, they should dedicate themselves,” Yang Yan said coldly. “Who?”

    “This is another troublesome spot,” Zhang Hongbo said with a bitter smile and difficulty, “He’s our Director of Supervision’s student.”

    “Even better, his awareness should be higher,” Yang Yan raised an eyebrow and said directly, “Aren’t you just afraid he’ll come back to trouble you? As long as we can flush out those maggots, I’ll take responsibility for this.”

    “But are you sure he can flush out the snake?”

    “Alas…” Zhang Hongbo sighed and tossed out a document. “Su Chen. He cooperated with Yuan Chenyang to intercept the Holy Word Stone outside the city, which disrupted the Mysterious God Cult’s conspiracy.”

    “At the same time, the death of Zhou Xian’s son is also inextricably linked to him, and Qi Chuan’s death also seems to be related to him. He also seems to have contributed greatly to finding the Guiding.”

    “Moreover, he has already been assassinated once, which might draw some people out.”

    “That crucial?” Yang Yan was quite surprised, took the document and scanned it. “So young, a Tier 1 professional… and with Brilliant Silver Body Talent…”

    A hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes. To use such a talent as bait…

    But when he reached the end, he was stunned: “Vagrant?”
