My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 61

Chapter 61: A Bad Bamboo Sprouting Good Shoots? 【The Wise】? 【Scholar】?

“Du Yu told me you were looking for me.”

His tone was steady and gentle, and Su Chen always had a strange sense of familiarity. After a few glances up and down, he realized that this guy seemed to be imitating his father.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Chen suddenly roared, “I’m not convinced!”

The sound echoed in the hall, many staff members were surprised, and Zhang Hengyu’s face also went blank.

“Why do I have to wait a year!” Su Chen shouted, staring intently at Zhang Hengyu.

Zhang Hengyu finally understood, his face flushed, and he stammered, even looking at a loss.

Why this reaction?

Su Chen was surprised and immediately changed his approach, saying with a cold face, “Follow me.”

He turned and walked upstairs, with the eyes of many patrol team members following him, and a buzzing sound of chatter.

Zhang Hengyu’s face was burning, as if ashamed, and he slowly followed.

They reached the top floor, where the corridor was empty.

Zhang Hengyu hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something, but then he heard Su Chen say in a deep voice, “I am already a Tier 2 professional.”

“What?” Zhang Hengyu was stunned, his original words forgotten, and he spoke with difficulty: “How…how could you be so fast?”

Su Chen’s tone was cold: “I’m not like you, a spoiled young master. I’m a vagrant, and I dare not give up any opportunity I seize.”

Speaking of this, he said wistfully: “I can’t even remember the last time I slept for more than three hours. Have you ever seen Southwind City at three in the morning?”

“Of course I have!” This sentence seemed to provoke Zhang Hengyu, who was initially a bit diffident.

“Although I was a bit reckless when I was young, after growing up, I have been accumulating the requirements for professional employment, and after entering Southwind Academy, I have also worked very hard. My efforts may not be inferior to yours!”

Uh… this guy seems very silly and naive, Su Chen felt quite strange.

After a slight relief, Zhang Hengyu’s expression became composed, and he said in a low voice: “But I am indeed inferior to you. You became a Tier 2 professional very quickly. I understand your anger, but… there’s nothing that can be done about it.”

He doesn’t seem to be faking it? Does he really think that?

Su Chen couldn’t help but marvel, thinking of Zhang Hongbo, that smiling tiger.

“But no matter what, I’ll be suppressed for a year. The resources of Southwind City can’t compare to Ying Feng,” Su Chen said coldly.

Zhang Hengyu’s face changed, his fists clenched and then relaxed, “I can compensate you.”

Huh? This turn of events was too strange.

Su Chen was somewhat bewildered, but still put on an unhappy expression, “Compensation? How will you compensate me?”

“I have a special profession in my hands, which is quite useful,” Zhang Hengyu whispered. “It’s called 【The Wise】. After taking the job, one can control their body more meticulously and operate various body tempering methods more efficiently.”

【The Wise】?

Su Chen’s heart stirred. Higher efficiency in operating body tempering methods, wouldn’t that mean faster proficiency improvement?

What’s the relationship with 【Scholar】?

Su Chen’s thoughts whirred, but his face showed some doubt, “Are you really going to give it to me?”

Zhang Hengyu explained: “This profession isn’t a secret in Ying Feng, it’s just difficult to get hired for, but with Minister Yuan’s help, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Su Chen was slightly taken aback, his coldness fading, and his expression softening. “I seem to have misjudged you.”

His heart grew even more surprised. Could a bad bamboo actually produce good shoots?

Seemingly forgiven, Zhang Hengyu’s spirits lifted, and he immediately narrated in a low voice…

Found special profession – 【The Wise】. Can be employed after meeting the requirements.】

【Requirement 1 for employment of The Wise: At least Crimson Gold mental talent.】

【Requirement 2 for employment of The Wise: Obtain information on at least three top-tier professions of any level.】

【Requirement 3 for employment of The Wise: A person of great wisdom.】

The panel already had the data, Su Chen glanced at it, and his expression gradually became strange.

The first two job requirements were understandable, but how could this “person of great wisdom” be achieved?

This is too subjective, and it hasn’t even shown “completed.”

Even if I’m not a person of great wisdom, is Zhang Hengyu? Is he great wisdom hidden in foolishness?

The Scholar, who was educating the Heituo Cultists, noticed an old friend arriving, extricated himself, and engaged in a friendly conversation with him…】

Old friend? Su Chen was quite surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “You actually have Crimson Gold mental talent?”

“No,” Zhang Hengyu shook his head honestly, explaining, “My sister helped me. She brought a special item from Ying Feng that can temporarily boost my mental talent to meet the job requirements.”

“There’s something like that?” Su Chen secretly wondered, but then said, “Then how did you meet the other requirements?”

“For example, the last one you mentioned, possessing wisdom that ordinary people cannot fathom, is too vague.” Zhang Hengyu explained: “I haven’t completed all of them; it’s too difficult. But if one can barely meet one, they can forcefully take the job, and I was lucky enough to succeed.”

“It’s generally the same in Ying Feng; there’s always some kind of augmentation.”

Forced employment… So it was luck, Su Chen suddenly realized. He subconsciously used perfect employment as the standard, but forgot that forced employment was also an option.

Forced employment might only unleash one-tenth of a profession’s power, but it’s better than nothing.

Su Chen sighed, “I understand what you mean.”

“Actually, I’ve done pretty well to get this far. Even if I can only go to Ying Feng next year, I only came to you because I still had some resentment in my heart.”

Zhang Hengyu was visibly relieved, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and he said with a wry smile: “Actually, I mentioned it to my sister, whether this was too unfair to you, but it was only once. I also had selfish motives…”

“Judge by actions, not intentions.” Su Chen waved his hand grandly, his eyes “full of fighting spirit”: “Even if you go to Ying Feng a year before me, don’t be too proud. I might catch up to you very soon.”

Zhang Hengyu paused, then nodded heavily, “I will definitely work hard not to let you catch up.”

Is this what people call “cherishing each other”?

He had been strictly raised since childhood, and in Southwind City, he had almost no friends of his age, mostly sycophants.

“By the way,” Su Chen said, as if challenging and inviting, “do you want to train with me here and see if you can keep up with my pace?”

“Here?” Zhang Hengyu hesitated for a moment, but then replied solemnly, “Okay, right here!”

He really agreed?

Su Chen’s expression became strange for a moment, while Zhang Hengyu excitedly went back to pack his things.

“Why do I feel a little guilty…” Su Chen was surprised, and immediately reprimanded himself severely, feeling a sense of self-reproach.

He opened the panel, contemplating 【The Wise】. He had Vermillion Gold mental talent, and two of the three top-tier professions. Only the last one was truly odd.

He wondered what 【Scholar】 could communicate.

His original plan was to severely injure Zhang Hengyu and make a big fuss.

After Zhang Hengyu appeared here, even if Zhou Xian was stupid, he would connect it to Zhang Hongbo and realize it was a trap, so he probably wouldn’t make a move.

But this is even better.

Another day passed, and Zhang Hengyu, as promised, arrived at the sub-bureau with his clothes and various potions.

He was still a First-Tier professional, so he could train in a regular training room.

The two chatted briefly, and Su Chen learned that Zhang Hengyu’s professional development progress had reached about 60%, which was considered quite fast. 【The Wise】 must have played a significant role.

“Is there any connection between 【The Wise】 and 【Scholar】?” Zhang Hengyu looked at Su Chen with surprise when he heard his question, then shook his head and said, “I don’t know either.”

Su Chen left deep in thought, returning to continue his training.

But in the mid-afternoon, an uninvited guest arrived, kicking open the door of the Supervisory Sub-bureau with a rather crude attitude.

After a moment of chaos, Zhang Hengyu rushed over, bracing himself and saying, “Sister, why are you here?”

The arrival was Zhang Yunqing, a tall, imposing woman whose face was as cold as frost. Her gaze swept past her foolish younger brother and landed on Su Chen, who was slowly walking down.

“Come with me,” Zhang Yunqing said rudely.

“No…” Zhang Hengyu shook his head, insisting, “I want to stay here.”

Zhang Yunqing looked at Su Chen, who had a half-smile on his face, her teeth almost grinding together. She pulled Zhang Hengyu aside and scolded him, “You idiot, he’s just using you, don’t you know that?

“Father wants to use him to lure out the Mysterious God Cult. He’s using you as a shield!”

Zhang Hengyu looked up blankly. Zhang Yunqing thought he had come to his senses and said coldly, “This kid… his thoughts are very…”

“Father, how could you do such a thing!?” Zhang Hengyu suddenly roared, his body trembling.

Zhang Yunqing looked at him blankly, only to see her younger brother’s face flush red, “He… he’s been through so much, why would you use him as bait!”

“Because of you!” Zhang Yunqing also got angry, “If you go back to Southwind City, he has Yuan Chenyang to back him up. Can you succeed Father’s…”

“Why do I have to take over!” Zhang Hengyu, like a volcano blocked by a giant rock, finally erupted, glaring at his sister: “Can’t I have my own ideas!”

Zhang Yunqing’s face suddenly turned cold, “Talk about self? When you have the ability, then we’ll talk.”
