My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Career Change?

Su Chen exchanged a few pleasantries, invited him into the room, and got straight to the point, “What happened with the explosion recently?”

“I came precisely to talk about that.” Fatty Sun glanced at Zhang Hengyu, and without hiding anything, his expression was vaguely startled, “I just learned today that Ying Feng was here. Not only were there those special envoys, but there was also a judge .”

Zhang Hengyu’s eyes flickered.

“A judge?” Su Chen was also surprised. That was a high-ranking official in the Tribunal, and also held a high position in Ying Feng.

“The explosion that just happened was when that judge suddenly attacked Zhou Xian,” Fatty Sun added.

“Huh?” Su Chen’s eyes lit up. As expected of a big shot from Ying Feng, his actions were decisive.

Unlike that old bastard Zhang Hongbo, who kept investigating and probing, which was useless.

“Unfortunately…” Fatty Sun’s tone changed, and he sighed, “That Zhou Xian is no simple person. He actually escaped from that judge.”

Escaped? Su Chen’s expression froze, his eyebrows twitched, and he almost swore.

If you don’t have the ability, don’t take on difficult tasks!

Although that old bastard Zhang Hongbo was a bit cunning, he was still cautious in his actions. If he kept Zhou Xian under surveillance openly, the other party wouldn’t dare to act so brazenly.

Now that he hadn’t been caught, it meant the enemy was in the dark and he was in the open.

Fatty Sun secretly lamented, “However, it’s almost certain that Department Head Zhou has a big problem, otherwise he wouldn’t have kept quiet until now.”

“He’s the Minister of Internal Affairs, what else isn’t he satisfied with?”

No, Su Chen frowned, realizing that the judge might also be fishing.

If he really wanted to make a move, and brought Zhang Hongbo along, there’s no way he could have escaped.

Even with this speculation, his mood didn’t improve at all.

Others were fishing, but he might be collateral damage.

“That judge… is also a bit reckless in his actions.” Su Chen’s words were filled with resentment.

“Oh no…” Fatty Sun’s flabby flesh trembled with shock. He looked left and right, then quickly whispered, “You can’t say that to anyone else.”

“Should I still avoid mentioning the venerable by name?” Su Chen said unhappily.

Fatty Sun paused, then shook his head and explained, “This judge is different from the others.”

“He is the Sixth Judge of the Tribunal, named Xia Hanshi. I heard that he is notoriously fierce, and in the few cities he has visited, the high-ranking officials fear him like a plague.”

“If he heard what you just said, he might actually kill you.”

“That ruthless?” Su Chen’s expression changed.

Zhang Hengyu hesitated to speak, but in the end, he remained silent.

“The city might not be peaceful for a while. Be careful,” Fatty Sun admonished before leaving.

“A time of trouble.” Su Chen sighed helplessly. A casual act by a high-ranking official could bring disaster upon him.

Zhou Xian disappeared into the shadows, his identity exposed, making him even more reckless. However, he should be recuperating for a while and likely won’t act.

He looked at the silent Zhang Hengyu. He couldn’t lose this protective charm.

………

The door was tightly shut. Su Chen looked at the panel, and his spiritual will lightly touched the two words “job change,” which transformed into shimmering golden light.

Su Chen’s body trembled slightly, his mind instantly cleared, and his vision gradually shifted. It was like he was observing his own body from a third-person perspective, even seeing muscles, blood vessels, meridians, and organs through his skin.

It felt as if he could control his body with greater precision.

The Wise also belonged to the support category. It did not bring about physical changes, nor did it grant miraculous knowledge.

[The Wise job has been successfully obtained. You have gained the professional ability – Fine-tuned Control: Skill proficiency acquisition rate increased by 50%]

Su Chen’s spirit was slightly shaken. Was it actually the same ability as [Scholar]?

“Could these two professions have some kind of synergy?” Su Chen pondered. There were many secrets to professions, and he only understood a small part of them.

“The two combined already provide a 100% boost. Without any auxiliary methods, the efficiency of improvement has already doubled,” Su Chen was in a good mood.

“It seems that the career boost obtained by forcibly taking on a profession is probably worse than I imagined…” He couldn’t help but think that the 50% increase from [Scholar] was equivalent to raising his talent from Brilliant Silver to Crimson Gold.

However, Zhang Hengyu was far from reaching the talent of Crimson Gold.

“This is another 50% increase, I wonder if there will be any growth in talent,” he speculated.

After [The Wise], there was a line of crimson small print–365 days.

“It actually gave me a whole year to complete the final ultimate profession information?” Su Chen couldn’t help but feel surprised, then he grinned and laughed out loud, “Sure enough, things are easier when you have someone to help! This way, I don’t have to rush too much.”

With the job change completed, Su Chen couldn’t wait to experience the further enhanced training efficiency. The mist filled his mouth, and five times the gravity pressed down on him.

The Gale Body Forging Method was running frantically, the swirling air in his blood and flesh cutting through muscle fibers like sharp blades. Su Chen’s knuckles turned white from the intense pain. The efficiency was indeed higher, but the suffering was also more severe.

Blood vessels bulged beneath his pale skin, showing bluish-purple patterns.

“Indeed…”

In the midst of the pain, Su Chen carefully observed. The speed at which his muscles tore and regrouped was significantly faster than before, and the activity of his spiritual power reached new heights.

But with the Void Meditation Method operating, his thoughts and perceptions became clearer, making the pain even more intense.

………

In Southwind Outer City, there were not only slums but also various production factories.

Amidst the roar of machinery, Zhou Xian staggered forth, his face pale, covered in blood, his right arm severed from the shoulder.

The panic in his eyes had not yet faded as he stumbled to the deepest part of the factory, where someone was already waiting for him.

Seeing his miserable state, the other person was startled and quickly helped him into the secret room.

Someone was waiting here, a burly figure with a bald head and a black vertical pupil mark on his forehead.

“Priest.” The person supporting Zhou Xian bowed respectfully, then backed out of the room.

“Priest, it was Xia Hanshi who came this time!” Zhou Xian gritted his teeth, “However, he probably wouldn’t have thought that a small Southwind City would attract a priest.”

“Letting me go was the biggest mistake he made!”

The priest’s tone was indifferent: “You have been exposed, and your mission has failed. Next, I will sacrifice Southwind City, and I will need your help.”

“Sacrifice?” Zhou Xian was startled, “Are we sacrificing now? There are too many missing materials, and the sacrificial array cannot be set up.”

“I will personally summon the Holy Statue,” the priest uttered four words.

Zhou Xian’s body trembled, whether from pain or fright. “Is it really worth such a great price, just for that delicious soul?”

“You don’t understand,” the priest didn’t explain.

Zhou Xian hesitated, “What about my son?”

“I said, you have failed.”

Zhou Xian bravely spoke, “Give me a few more days. It’s too costly to summon the Holy Statue. I will give you an accurate message!”

The priest’s dark pupils looked over, and cold sweat appeared on Zhou Xian’s forehead.

The priest’s tone remained indifferent, “I will continue to prepare. If you can provide me with an accurate target before the forced sacrifice, the previous promise will still be valid.”

………

At Southwind Academy, Xia Hanshi ascended to the top floor of the library. Using his highest authority as a judge, he entered the central control room, logged into the management terminal, and retrieved records.

“Only twenty-six borrows in a year…” The virtual screen reflected Xia Hanshi’s gaunt face, and he couldn’t help but say coldly, “Such a precious profession as a [Scholar] but no one is willing to study it properly.”

“Hmm, the mark has been erased?”

Closing the terminal, Xia Hanshi’s eyes flickered. “This is not something a Tier 3 professional can do. There’s really something big in Southwind City.”

……

Three days after the Internal Affairs Hall was attacked, even though Su Chen’s training had been somewhat restrained during this period, he still made significant progress due to the influence of [The Wise].

[Wild Hunt: 5%]

[Mysterious Tool Master: 83%]

[E-grade Gale Body Forging Method – Proficient: 5%]

[F-grade Void Meditation Method – Mastered: 15%]

Thanks to his inherent spiritual talent being greater than his physical body, and with multiple enhancements, the efficiency of [Mysterious Tool Master] advancement was even faster than his former [Riftwalker Warrior].

“I estimate it won’t be long before I reach 100%, and an Arcane Scholar is within reach.” Su Chen made a rough estimate, feeling highly motivated.

He prepared to finish his training for the day and go meet Zhang Hengyu to deepen their bond.

Yesterday, Zhang Yunqing came again, but after the last resistance, Zhang Hengyu clearly matured a lot. This time, he didn’t hesitate at all and refused to go back.

However, at this very moment, the panel suddenly popped up, and the [Heituo Cultists] profession, which had been in a state of being ganged up on for a long time, finally reacted.

[…After a friendly exchange, the Heituo Cultist decided to abandon their original master and embrace the host, transforming their profession into – Believer.]
