My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 98

Chapter 98: The Path of the Immaculate

Just before reaching their destination, Bu Siqi asked, “Junior Brother, is there anything else you need my help with?”

“Hmm…” Su Chen pondered for a moment. “My training potions are running out. I have about 20,000 gold that I can use. Could you please help me purchase some?”

Bu Siqi’s expression didn’t change at the first half of the sentence, but when Su Chen mentioned paying, he smiled and asked, “What potions do you use?”

“Currently, Tier 2 Mist Demon Potion and Tier 2 Illusion Essence,” Su Chen said, then took out a black dagger, also a trophy from Pan Yu, which was difficult to sell in Nanfeng. “Add this to it too.”

“Hmm… this weapon is probably worth about 60,000 or 70,000. It should be enough for seven or eight vials each…” Bu Siqi took it, weighed it, and mused, “It might not be enough for your use. I’ll try my best to get you some, but don’t blame me if it’s less, Junior Brother.”

Brotherhood is brotherhood, and if Su Chen wanted to freeload, he would naturally decline. But seeing that Su Chen was “emptying his pockets,” he would help where he could.

“Not at all.” Su Chen quickly replied, “Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother. Could you also help me find an E-grade Meditation Method?”

“That’s easy.” Bu Siqi nodded and asked, “Anything else?”

Su Chen looked at him carefully, figuring he was serious, then added, “Could you also keep an eye out for any news about the Mist Nightmare Pearl?”

“Mist Nightmare Pearl?” Bu Siqi was surprised but nodded. “Potions, Meditation Method, Mist Nightmare Pearl. Alright, I got it.”

After seeing Bu Siqi off, Su Chen returned to the hotel and took the elevator. “Entering the Tribunal should come with resource allocations.”

“Ordinary members, inner court seeds, the higher the status, the more resources they probably get, and the various benefits will also be different. There’s also more hope in finding clues about the ‘Red Flame Responding Thunder Great Sovereign’.”

“Mo Cui…” Su Chen couldn’t help but think, “I also need to focus on the [Saint]. If I can successfully take up the profession, my spiritual talent should break through Crimson Gold and reach the Mo Cui level.”

“An impossible request, Old Sang said it was so outlandish, just how difficult is it?”

After a simple night of training, Su Chen went to the Translation Department again early the next morning.

“You’re here?” Sang Hanhai saw Su Chen and was not surprised, as if he had anticipated his arrival.

He immediately called him to the workbench, where a large number of symbols flickered on the instrument screen next to it.

“…Combining the information you provided, I’ve deciphered some more.” Sang Hanhai pointed to the text on the screen that Su Chen couldn’t understand, saying, “I speculate that one of the complete job requirements should be a Tier 2 top-level psionicist.”

“Top-level?” Su Chen feigned surprise, mumbling to himself, *Old Sang really has some skills. After getting the keywords, he figured it out overnight.*

“That’s right…” Sang Hanhai nodded, excitement in his eyes. “And I’ve already made a rough guess about this profession. Nine out of ten, it’s about creating a dimensional space, using spiritual imprints as keys, to achieve the effect of taking items at will.”

“Portable space!?” Su Chen was even more astonished. “There’s actually a profession like that.”

“Professions are full of surprises, you’ll be even more amazed in the future.” Sang Hanhai was quite pleased with himself, but also added, “However, the rapid progress is also thanks to the auxiliary information you provided.”

“Currently, two job requirements have been confirmed: space crystal and a Tier 2 top-level psionicist.”

At this point, Sang Hanhai frowned again. “According to past practice, volunteers could already be recruited from various institutions to attempt forced employment.”

“Once the employment is successful, it’s easier to deduce other job requirements.”

“However…” He looked a bit helpless. “This profession not only requires space crystals but also a Tier 2 top-level psionicist. Those who meet this condition are treasures, and forced employment carries risks, so it’s impossible for me to get one.”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Su Chen.

“I can’t do it…” Su Chen shook his head repeatedly. “I’m only Tier 2 advanced, not high enough.”

“Advanced isn’t impossible to try.” Sang Hanhai’s words were tempting. “Even if you barely succeed in taking up the profession, it can give you unparalleled convenience, like a portable package that no one else can see, only you can use.”

“Just thinking about it is exciting.”

“Please find someone more capable.” Su Chen showed no interest.

If he really agreed, it would definitely be done in full view, and there might even be various monitoring instruments.

“Tsk…” Sang Hanhai sighed. “Then we can only decipher it little by little.”

Then, he smiled again: “I’m genuinely a little impatient, after all, the versatility of this profession is too strong.”

“Let me try, maybe I can resonate again today,” Su Chen said.

“Haha…” Sang Hanhai chuckled. “You’ve already resonated twice in a row. The probability of a third resonance is too low.”

“What if I succeed, can you give me the [Saint]?” Su Chen seized the opportunity.

“Saint? You’re still thinking about it…” Sang Hanhai glanced at him. “Your ambition remains undying.”

Su Chen smiled sheepishly. Sang Hanhai shook his head, but then said, “The Saint belongs to a sealed profession. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be revealed to the outside world anymore. I can indeed access it. Are you sure you want it?”

“I hope you’ll grant my request.” Su Chen immediately said.

“…Xia Hanshi, ah, Xia Hanshi…” Sang Hanhai shook his head and glanced at Su Chen, “If that’s the case, then let’s see if heaven allows you to obtain it.”

“If you can resonate again today, I’ll let you see the Saint.”

Sang Hanhai left the choice to fate.

Su Chen took a deep breath, his expression gradually calming, as if adjusting his state.

Sang Hanhai shook his head secretly; resonating with the Holy Word Stone had no discernible pattern and was unrelated to one’s own state.

He watched Su Chen slowly walk towards the Holy Word Stone, staring intently.

A moment later, the young man’s eyes suddenly widened, and he stumbled back a few steps, gasping for breath.

*Resonance has this kind of reaction?* Sang Hanhai’s heart filled with doubt.

“Old Sang…” Su Chen looked at Sang Hanhai, his chest heaving, and forced a smile, “It seems, heaven is on my side.”

“Really resonated?” Sang Hanhai was stunned.

“Hmm…” Su Chen seemed to be comprehending, hesitating, “It seems… it seems… to need to pass through some kind of rift…”

“Rift?” Sang Hanhai instantly entered work mode, his expression gradually becoming excited. This time, he didn’t even verify, pacing back and forth.

“Space crack? That’s right… it needs to be imbued with spatial characteristics, pass through the rift, create a dimensional space with the space crystal as the core, and then use spiritual power as the key to open it…”

“Record… record…” he said in a deep voice: “Number–2437, space-type auxiliary profession, rating–A, name–space…”

Sang Hanhai uttered two words, falling into deep thought.

“Collection?” Su Chen whispered.

“Good…” Sang Hanhai’s eyes lit up slightly. “The name will be Space Collector, and the job requirements are: first… second… third…”

“Prepare to initiate the verification process…”

Establishing a profession involves many procedures. If a single piece of information is incorrect, it can lead to heavy casualties.

The staff quickly got busy, while Sang Hanhai looked at Su Chen, his eyes filled with emotion. “It’s the first time deciphering has been this fast. No wonder my teacher often talks about Divinely Inspired Translators; they are a huge help.”

“Unfortunately, they are hard to come by, and Divinely Inspired Translators only work on individual Holy Word Stones…”

Su Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Are there any Divinely Inspired Translators who can resonate with multiple Holy Word Stones at the same time?”

“Hmm?” Sang Hanhai’s face looked strange. “People like you are hard to come across for many years, let alone someone who can resonate with multiple Holy Word Stones simultaneously.”

“However…” Halfway through his sentence, his tone changed again. “But whether they exist or not, I can’t say for sure.”

“Actually…” Sang Hanhai pondered for a moment, looking at Su Chen’s eager expression, and couldn’t help but say, “Regarding Divinely Inspired Translators, opinions within the Translation Department have been divided in recent years.”

“In several other cities, some people believe that what resonates with a Divinely Inspired Translator is not the profession, but the Holy Word Stone itself.”

“Just as cults can communicate with the evil gods behind them using Holy Word Stones, Divinely Inspired Translators might also possess this trait to some extent, which is why they resonate with it.”

“Unfortunately, there are too few individual cases. A large-scale screening was conducted a few years ago, but it caused some chaos and was put on hold.”

Su Chen was thoughtful; in this case, he might have an opportunity. But for now, he didn’t intend to reveal more. Currently, he only had the private identity of Xia Hanshi’s student, and hadn’t even entered the Tribunal, lacking overall endorsement.

“Off-topic.” Sang Hanhai waved his hand, becoming a little more serious. “I’ll ask you one last time, do you really want the Saint?”

“If you don’t want it, you can save it for later to exchange for Tier 4 or even Tier 5 professions. Even within the Tribunal, professional information cannot be obtained for no reason.”

“Only the Saint.” Su Chen did not hesitate.

Sang Hanhai said no more: “Wait for me here for a moment, I’ll go retrieve it.”

He wasn’t responsible for deciphering the Saint, so he had to follow procedures to retrieve it.

Sang Hanhai left the laboratory, and silence fell there, save for the whirring of instruments and the footsteps of staff moving back and forth, frequently glancing at him, observing him secretly.

Su Chen found a seat and waited quietly.

He didn’t wait long before Sang Hanhai returned, his expression even stranger.

Leading Su Chen to the lounge on one side of the laboratory, Sang Hanhai, while Su Chen was still in a daze, took out his left eyeball and soaked it in a cleaning device.

“I saw things I shouldn’t have seen before, and my eyeball exploded.” Sang Hanhai, seeing him in a daze, couldn’t help but laugh, then reminded him, “High-level professional information itself carries certain risks. If you encounter it in the future, be careful when interacting with it.”

Su Chen couldn’t help but think of the “Red Flame Responding Thunder Great Sovereign” etched naked on those nine rings. The Translation Department should know about it, right?

“The ‘sealed profession’ category in the Translation Department all have various requirements that are either too harsh to complete or extremely dangerous to others.” Sang Hanhai finally got to the point, smiling wryly, “But I still didn’t expect the Saint to have such job requirements.”

“Listen well.”

Su Chen listened intently as Sang Hanhai slowly recounted.

[Discovered special profession — Saint. Can be employed after completing job requirements.]

[Job requirement one: Possess a spiritual talent at the Crimson Gold level.]

[Job requirement two: Personally save a thousand people.]

[Job requirement three: Never kill any living beings in one’s lifetime.]

This… Su Chen’s eyes blurred. The first Crimson Gold talent was still conventional.

By the second one, the difficulty was not low. “Saving” sounded very broad; was it psychological or physiological?

Saving one person was already quite troublesome, let alone a thousand. It would also take a long time and resources, even with external help to boost performance.

The third requirement was even more outrageous, directly forbidding him from killing?

“This requirement isn’t difficult but it’s not simple either, especially the last one.” Sang Hanhai said with a bitter smile, “I carefully asked Old Hai, who was responsible for the deciphering, and he said this requirement is the most troublesome.”

“Sentient life forms probably include all mutated species, including humans.”

“He speculates that even if the other two conditions are met, if one starts killing, the profession will collapse, and not only will the professional abilities disappear, but one’s self will also suffer great damage.”

Sang Hanhai said helplessly, “It’s possible that our deciphering isn’t complete, but this profession indeed cannot be taken, truly living up to the name of ‘Saint’.”

Su Chen, however, was not disappointed, because he still had the panel. As expected, as soon as he discovered the profession, there was a reaction.

[The Scholar, the Wise, found an old friend they hadn’t seen in a long time and was quite excited. He conversed intimately with the Saint, reminiscing about the time when they were one body…]

One body?

Su Chen quickly caught a keyword, “Does it mean they were once a single profession, perhaps not a prerequisite for a certain profession, but a fusion?”

He thought of many things, even speculating whether it was one of the job requirements for the “Red Flame Responding Thunder Great Sovereign.”

The three-way conversation did not yield results immediately.

Seeing Su Chen’s changing expression, Sang Hanhai teased, “Young man, don’t regret it. Retrieving such professional information doesn’t come without a price for me.”

“Even if I can’t take up the profession, it’s my choice.” Su Chen said frankly.

Sang Hanhai, seeing Su Chen adjust his mindset so quickly, secretly nodded. Wasting an opportunity to exchange for a profession, yet Su Chen could remain so calm, showed the firmness of his character.

“However…” Su Chen changed the subject, and said with a hint of shyness, “Working with you these past two days, I’ve become quite curious about the deciphering of the Holy Word Stone. Can I still come and learn from you in the future?”

“Learn?” Sang Hanhai was surprised. “You’re a dual Crimson Gold, your place is in the Tribunal.”

If it were anyone else, there would be a possibility of climbing the social ladder, but Su Chen’s chances were not high. He had Xia Hanshi as his backer, and he himself was a dual Crimson Gold, so there wasn’t much need for him to busy himself in the Translation Department.

*Does he want to break away from Xia Hanshi?* He subconsciously speculated, but then denied it. He had only known Su Chen for three days, and if the other party wasn’t stupid, he wouldn’t expect him to fight against Xia Hanshi.

“Nanfeng is a small place. I haven’t had much exposure to this before, but now I find it quite interesting.” Su Chen scratched the back of his head.

“Alright…” Sang Hanhai pondered for a moment. “Then I’ll keep your temporary pass. You can come and chat with me when you’re free.”

He agreed. Regardless of other things, Su Chen conducted himself properly, knew when to advance and retreat, and gave his all to help this time, which left a good impression on him.

“Thank you, Old Sang, for giving me this opportunity.” Su Chen said with a smile.

Sang Hanhai took his eyeball out of the cleaning device, put it back in its socket, and prepared to leave the lounge.

Su Chen followed behind, seizing the opportunity to ask, “I heard you say you wanted to verify earlier. Do we have a spatial rift in our Translation Department?”

He remembered that his Space Collector still had one last job requirement unfulfilled.

“We?” Sang Hanhai chuckled. “Our Translation Department doesn’t have spatial rifts. Creating a spatial rift isn’t easy. Even in Ying Feng, only a handful of people have that ability.”

Su Chen frowned slightly, then asked again, “My teacher told me that there aren’t many professions that can improve talent later on. Scholar, Wise, and this Saint, they all are.”

“Why do I feel their naming conventions are so similar? Are they related?”

“…You’re quite curious.” Sang Hanhai chuckled. “According to our speculation, there should be a connection between them, but where exactly, we can’t say.”

“I remember there’s a similar profession in Yuandu called [Spirit].”

“Spirit?” Su Chen was stunned, and his panel gradually appeared.

[… The Scholar, the Wise, and the Saint, currently conversing intimately, heard a familiar name and couldn’t help but reminisce, as if recalling something…]

[Path of the Immaculate: Gather all professions required for sublimation to sublimate into the Immaculate.]

Immaculate? Sublimation?

Is this the superior profession of the Scholar and the others?

A multi-purpose, super-enhanced version? Probably also increases talent, right?

He thought of the “Deep Purple” talent level required by the “Red Flame Responding Thunder Great Sovereign.”

“Spirit…” His thoughts wandered, wondering if the Immaculate was only missing one Spirit, or if it was missing more.

Looking up, he realized that Sang Hanhai had already reached the laboratory door. Su Chen was about to catch up, but his steps paused.

The metal doors opened to both sides, and someone entered.

“Old Yuan…” Sang Hanhai greeted him familiarly. “You haven’t been here in a while.”

“Haha…” The person’s hair and beard were white, and he looked quite old, but his build was still imposing, and his square face exuded authority.

“Professor Sang, I wouldn’t dare disturb you unless it was important.” He joked, striding into the laboratory with a sense of power.

His gaze immediately locked onto Su Chen, the only one not wearing a lab coat, and his expression changed slightly.

“Su Chen?” he said.

*Great… someone else recognizes me.*
