My profession is too unique.

Chapter 3 Uprising
For a moment, the room fell silent.

"This... Your Excellency..." the old ghost began tremblingly, "We can... We can discuss this..."

"I'll have him release Jiang He, and you'll release me, then we can go our separate ways, okay?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the warrior's bleeding eyes, mouth, and nose. He then glanced at the panel; the [Beginner Fighting] skill had disappeared, and under the [Warrior] class, there was only one ability.

[Strength: Unleashes the body's potential, boosting explosive power in a short period.]

This is the professional ability that comes with becoming a Warrior; Su Chen doesn't know the exact amount of the boost.

However, the big guy seems to be seriously injured.

Ok?
Su Chen suddenly noticed that Jiang He was blinking frantically, as if trying to get his attention.

Seeing that he finally looked over, the woman's eyes then turned diagonally upwards, her target the big guy.

What do you mean?
Does she still have other tricks up her sleeve?
As expected of a high-level profession, even after being given that drug, they're still so vigorous.

Su Chen blinked subtly, indicating that he understood.

Old Ghost was forced to keep his head down. Seeing that there was no response to his words, he couldn't help but continue, "You killed me, and the strongman killed Jiang He. Neither of you can do anything to the other. In the end, you can only suffer mutual destruction."

“You were brought here by her, so it’s easy for the supervisory department to find out.”

He didn't know why this inferior vagrant was completely different from the information, but since he was hiding, the other party certainly didn't want to be exposed.

Old Ghost breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the large hand gripping his head loosen slightly. Just as he was about to strike while the iron was hot, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

Su Chen suddenly exerted force with his palm, and with a "crack," the neck twisted more than ninety degrees and was already silent.

"Old ghost!" The strongman's eyes glared angrily, and he roared. Just as he was about to exert force with his large hand, a strange stinging pain suddenly came from his head, and his large hand, which covered almost half of Jiang He's head, subconsciously contracted.

boom!
The wooden floor beneath Su Chen's feet shattered, and he charged forward like an arrow released from a bow. The distance between them was not far to begin with.

The explosive power Su Chen unleashed after becoming a strongman was beyond his own expectations. He barely had time to react before the giant was right in front of him.

Fortunately, I was mentally prepared. [Strength] had already been activated. My heart felt like it had been stepped on the gas pedal, suddenly contracting and then expanding, with blood roaring in my veins.

The veins bulged out, as if trying to break free from under the skin.

The strongman was left with almost only two choices: either slap Jiang He to death or be punched in the face by Su Chen.

Or to resist Su Chen.

His body reacted faster than his thoughts, and his right hand was already poised to strike.

Su Chen didn't use any special techniques; he just threw a straight punch.

boom!
As their fists collided, Su Chen's ferocious expression showed slight surprise. He had already gone all out, but the force from his opponent's arm was weaker than he had expected.

click-
A faint cracking sound came from the strongman's arm, and a sharp pain swept over him. He staggered backward, his right arm trembling uncontrollably. His face turned horrified as his gaze fell on the taut veins under Su Chen's skin.

"Perfect job placement!?"

Su Chen was slightly stunned. Ignoring everything else, he pressed his advantage and slammed his right foot into the strongman's cheek.

click-
Blood gushed out, and the strongman flew backward, crashing into the sofa and landing on the floor.

boom! boom! boom!
Su Chen lunged forward, his fists aimed straight for vital points, causing blood to spurt out.

A moment later, Su Chen felt his chest expand, and he stood up, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. He felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if his body had been hollowed out.

The strongman on the floor was already unrecognizable. Even with Jiang He's help, this battle was much easier than he had imagined.

This guy isn't new to the job; logically, he should be much better than him.

"Perfect job?" he murmured to himself. The panel did indeed say "perfect job," which he hadn't paid much attention to at first, but it seemed to be something quite extraordinary.

tear-
A sound came from behind, and Su Chen turned around abruptly. It was Jiang He struggling to get up from the ground, swaying unsteadily.

And this woman.

"Su Chen, thank you." Jiang He looked relieved, grateful, and sincere, holding the "card" he had just picked up from the ground. "Here, take this."

Su Chen didn't speak, just stared straight at her. Gradually, the grateful smile on Jiang He's face stiffened.

Su Chen then took action, stepping forward to take the card. "What is a transfer letter?"

Jiang He's expression changed; Su Chen now felt like a stranger to him.

This is his true face; was he just pretending before?

How come I never realized he was a professional before?
Unsure of the current situation, Jiang He didn't dare to take any risks and honestly replied, "We're just informal students at the academy. Although we can attend classes, we have to leave the city every now and then..."

"You lied to me?"

Jiang He's body trembled slightly. Su Chen's tone was calm, and his eyes, hidden beneath his disheveled hair, were unusually deep, seemingly devoid of any killing intent.

But it was under these circumstances that this guy crushed the old ghost to death.

Damn it, who is this guy?!

Jiang He cursed inwardly, then hurriedly explained, "No, this kind of leaving the city is different from leaving the city as a refugee. It's a supplement to the city patrol guards. They will only patrol near the city and won't go to those dangerous places to be cannon fodder."

"I see..." Su Chen nodded thoughtfully, but then said, "So, you thought I didn't know the difference and deliberately used vague terms like 'enrollment letter' to fool me?"

“No…” Jiang He quickly shook his head: “The formal admission channel only happens once a year. If you miss that one, no one can be admitted through the formal channel again. I thought you knew…”

Su Chen remained noncommittal, then asked, "What is a perfect job?"

Jiang He was taken aback, not understanding what Su Chen meant, and said helplessly, "It means that if you are extremely compatible with the job and meet all the requirements of the job to a very high degree, you can get the job perfectly."

"what is the benefit?"

"The advantage... is that you can gain powerful professional abilities, and it's not easy to become distorted..." Jiang He said, stating some common sense, pointing to the mangled body of the strongman on the ground:

"A perfectly trained strongman should have a well-proportioned physique like yours. His large muscles are clearly the result of using drugs."

"Although they can find jobs, they won't acquire professional skills, and their chances of promotion are slim."

So, this guy doesn't actually have any "strength" ability, no wonder he's so weak.

He pondered, "Is it difficult to get a perfect job?"

Jiang He explained, "Low-level jobs are not difficult, but high-level jobs are very troublesome, especially some superior and top-level jobs, which have extremely strict requirements."

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly asked, "Do you have any deadly leverage over me?"

"Huh?" Jiang He looked bewildered. Su Chen's abrupt question made it difficult for her to follow his train of thought.

“If not, I will have no choice but to kill you.” Su Chen frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang He instantly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "You, you can't kill me. You were brought here by my people, and it will be easy for them to trace you back to me."

"Even if you escape the city and face the darkness alone, you will only face death."

Su Chen frowned even more deeply and emphasized, "That's why I asked you if you have any deadly leverage over me."

Now Jiang He understood what the other person meant, and for a moment he hesitated, then managed to say, "You saved me, I'm very grateful..."

"So that means there isn't any." Su Chen interrupted impatiently, already raising his hand.

This woman is no ordinary person. Without a means of restraint, once she recovers, she will likely be completely at our mercy.

"Yes, yes!" Jiang He hurriedly shouted, "I... I can tell you some of my scandals..."

"No, I need the deadly kind." Su Chen shook his head; what good are scandals?

"It seems I have no choice but to run for my life." Su Chen deliberately increased the pressure, walking slowly towards Jiang He with a helpless expression.

Jiang He's throat bobbed, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. For a first-tier professional, leaving the city rashly would mean certain death.

Whether the other person lives or dies is still up in the future, but she is about to die right now.
