My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 93

Chapter 93 The Secret of the Wise and the Scholar

“Evolved?” Su Chen scanned the large amount of information in front of him. Not only did he evolve, but he also made two consecutive jumps, reaching the level of a Priest.

Special occupations are not like sequential occupations, which have clear classification standards such as first-order, second-order, and third-order, because most of them do not involve increasing strength.

However, some special occupations can also be promoted, indicating an increase in professional strength.

Ordinary believers are cannon fodder, but fanatical believers are different. In the Heretic God Cult, they not only have a certain status, but can even strengthen themselves by borrowing the power of the Heretic God.

Not to mention the priests, their status is even more respected. They even have the power of life and death over their believers.

“Huh… why am I here?” Zhao Hong suddenly realized and saw Su Chen in front of him.

“Su… Section Chief Su?” he asked hesitantly.

“I was about to ask you the same thing!” Su Chen returned to his senses, also looking strange.

“Not good, it’s that thing!” Zhao Hong’s face changed drastically. Without time to explain, he rushed to the upper level.

“I’ve become a priest all of a sudden, and I’m considered a high-level member among Heituo cultists…” Su Chen closed the door and speculated, “Corrupt consciousness… probably something hidden in that Heituo statue.”

“It’s really sinister.” Su Chen secretly reminded himself that he must be vigilant about everything related to the Heretic God in the future.

This kind of subtle erosion couldn’t harm him, but Heituo and his believers definitely had the ability to directly kill him.

“This Heituo probably has his eyes on me. Let’s see if there’s anything else inside that statue.” Su Chen hesitated slightly, locked the door, and tried to transform into a Heituo Priest.

His hair receded, his eyes gradually turned pitch black, the pupils subtly split into a vertical slit, black lines spread across his face, and a black vertical pupil condensed on top of his head.

His whole being exuded a sinister aura, and ripples appeared in the surrounding air.

“If Old Xia saw this, he’d probably kill me with righteous indignation.” Su Chen looked at himself in the mirror and carefully perceived, “My perception range has indeed expanded, but no knowledge has appeared in my mind…”

Perhaps because it was a “disguise”, Su Chen did not gain the ability to communicate with Heituo.

And in the spaceship, that captivating feeling was gone.

“The Heituo statue is really clean now.”

He was certain that the corrupt consciousness was a remnant of it. Loud noises came from outside. Su Chen removed his disguise and opened the door, seeing that the corridor was full of people.

“What’s going on?” Su Chen spotted Du Yu and pulled him over to ask.

“I don’t know. The two envoys issued an order that everyone shouldn’t stay in their rooms, and should be able to see each other.” Du Yu also didn’t understand.

It must have been the Supervisory Guard’s report that made Yang Yan and Gu Bing wary, Su Chen understood.

“Are you okay…?” Yang Yan and Gu Bing rushed over, showing concern for Su Chen.

They were startled when they learned from Zhao Hong’s report that he had inexplicably appeared in front of Su Chen’s door.

If something happened to Su Chen, Xia Hanshi would tear them apart when he returned.

After confirming that Zhao Hong was fine, they came to check on Su Chen.

After several hours of thorough examination, they must have confirmed that there were no problems before letting him go back.

This little incident caused anxiety among everyone, but Su Chen was completely at ease. He took out the small metal box that Yuan Chenyang had given him before boarding the ship from the luggage compartment.

*Drip–*

After a simple fingerprint verification, a chilling white mist leaked out from the opening crack, spreading in all directions. Misty Demon Potions and Illusion Essences were arranged neatly inside.

Su Chen roughly counted fifty tubes in total, estimating it would be enough until he reached Ying Feng, and he couldn’t help but sigh, “Old Yuan, you are indeed generous.”

It’s a pity that Liuli Blood has a monthly quota, and even Old Yuan would have difficulty squeezing out too much at once. He had already consumed over ten tubes before.

Even at the second tier, it can increase his development efficiency by 25%-30%. He licked his lips, feeling a little nostalgic.

He stored these private goods in his storage space. Although there was no gravity training room on the ship, he still had to train, even if the efficiency was reduced.

……

Boom!

A few days later, the spaceship vibrated violently, and Gu Bing’s gentle voice came from the broadcast: “Everyone, we’ve reached the ruins. We won’t be staying here for more than half an hour. If you want to go out and take a look, please do so quickly.”

“Ruins?” Su Chen was also very curious. After a quick tidy-up, he left his room and saw others walking in the corridor, discussing animatedly, apparently also wanting to go out and take a look.

“Old Su…” Du Yu greeted him.

“Su…” Zhang Hengyu also walked over. Before he could utter “Brother,” he saw his smiling father ahead, so he could only awkwardly say “Uncle Su.”

Zhang Yunqing lagged a few steps behind, truly not wanting to run into Su Chen.

“Ruins, I’ve never seen them with my own eyes.” Du Yu was quite excited, constantly rubbing his hands together.

As everyone arrived at the gangway, Su Chen heard exclamations from ahead.

Looking up, his expression changed involuntarily. He saw a huge mechanical fortress clearly visible in the distance, dome-shaped, its metal shell reflecting the cold light under the high-beam lights around it.

Exposed metal structures occasionally flickered with electric arcs, and smoke and metal debris rose from around.

“So this is the ruins…” Su Chen murmured. Could such a massive mechanical fortress really be built on this planet?

“This is a mechanical ruin. There are also mystic and biological ruins and such…” Zhang Hongbo appeared out of nowhere and explained to him.

“Mechanical ruins probably yield rare technologies, thermal weapons, and perhaps even recipes for advanced potions…” “I see.” Su Chen’s gaze was fixed on the exposed metal structure on the ground.

“How come you’re just arriving now?”

A familiar voice sounded, and Su Chen instinctively turned his head, his face filled with surprise: “Teacher, why are you here?”

Everyone around them stepped away, creating an empty space around Xia Hanshi.

“It was on the way. I found that there was another riot here, so I suppressed it,” Xia Hanshi said indifferently.

“Why don’t you explore it? It shouldn’t be difficult for you, should it?” Su Chen asked curiously.

Xia Hanshi shook his head, “It’s not that simple. Exploration isn’t about destruction. If it were a formal exploration, a large number of people would need to be sent in layers. This ruin would take at least three to six months to fully understand.”

Zhang Hongbo had already gone down to meet Feng Chang, who had been stationed there.

He was the City Patrol Chief, and by rights, he should have been rotated out long ago, but Yuan Chenyang was urgently transferred, so he had to stay here.

The first time he saw Zhang Hongbo, he was visibly surprised.

The two didn’t know what they were talking about. The seemingly calm City Patrol Chief was startled repeatedly and eventually stared blankly in their direction.

“Teacher, wait…” Su Chen saw that Xia Hanshi was also about to leave and quickly called out to him. Old Xia left too decisively last time, and there were still some things he hadn’t asked.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Hanshi looked over.

Su Chen pondered, “Is there a profession like ‘Scholar’ or ‘The Wise’ in Ying Feng?”

“Scholar? The Wise?”

Xia Hanshi’s originally inattentive expression suddenly froze. He turned around, his eyes shining brightly, and his slightly muffled voice suppressed a certain anticipation.

“Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Su Chen felt that Old Xia was a bit strange right now, but he didn’t think much of it and said matter-of-factly, “These special professions can increase the efficiency of training methods, so I was wondering if there were any similar ones…”

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a fiery aura suddenly burst forth from Old Xia, causing the people who hadn’t yet left the gangway to sway and almost fall.

Before Su Chen could react, his vision blurred, and he was back in his room. Xia Hanshi looked at him with burning eyes: “Have you… already taken up these two professions?”

“Uh-huh.” Su Chen nodded carefully, also realizing that something was amiss.

“I should have thought of it earlier… I can’t believe I didn’t ask you.” Xia Hanshi mumbled. As early as when he first arrived in Southwind City, he knew that Su Chen had accessed information on the role of the Scholar.

But he was well aware of the difficulty of obtaining this profession, and given Su Chen’s age, it was almost impossible, so he had put it out of his mind.

“What’s wrong?” Su Chen asked, puzzled.

“Was it a forceful occupation? Or a normal occupation? Or a perfect occupation?” Xia Hanshi didn’t answer and instead pressed.

“Uh…” Su Chen’s words were on the tip of his tongue, but he changed them: “They were all forced occupations, but I was lucky.”

“Forced occupation… that’s still very good.” Xia Hanshi wasn’t surprised, his expression complex: “No wonder your talent wasn’t discovered before. It must have been enhanced later. You’re lucky.”

“Do these two professions have secrets?” Su Chen asked again.

“Indeed…” Xia Hanshi nodded and said in a deep voice, “These professions can enhance talent acquired later, which is extremely rare. Almost everyone tries to acquire them, but the difficulty is extremely high.”

“Moreover, they seem to be a series, and even a prerequisite for a certain profession.” Xia Hanshi then said, “Ying Feng has been researching them, and currently, not much information has been obtained.”

A series? Prerequisites? Su Chen’s heart trembled slightly.

Xia Ganshi mused, “The Scholar was the first to be discovered, and the requirements for taking on the role were quite stringent. The Wise requires relatively high talent. A few months ago, the Translation Office deciphered the Saint… but I don’t know the specific information.”

“You don’t even know?” Su Chen was inevitably disappointed.

“I’m not omnipotent,” Xia Hanshi said coldly. “After the Translation Office deciphered it, it was put aside. Many people were curious and wanted to view it, but they were all rejected.”

“The Translation Office… is that powerful?” Su Chen asked in surprise.

“No one wants to easily offend the Translation Office,” Xia Hanshi explained to him, and Su Chen gradually understood.

The Translation Office was another important institution in Ying Feng, with a small number of personnel. It was directly under the jurisdiction of the Council of Elders and held an extremely respected position.

It specialized in deciphering Holy Word Stones excavated from ruins and translating ancient languages.

Over 70% of the professions mastered by Ying Feng were deciphered by the Translation Office.

A single incorrect character could lead to a series of problems.

Furthermore, they possess the most original texts of the professions, and some promotion requirements also need to be specially adapted to the current era.

Even when Old Xia was promoted, he specifically went to the Translation Office to conduct detailed research on the profession he was promoted to.

He discovered many hidden small details, which greatly increased his chances of successful promotion.

“There’s actually such a place…” Su Chen’s expression was very strange.
