My profession is too unique.

Chapter 66 Investigating Pan Yu's Disappearance? A Joint Investigation by Three Departments!
"Thank goodness, I wasn't made to stay in that bizarre 'murmured trial' for ten or twenty minutes." Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The power of the Strange God could actively trigger a job mutation, but the outcome was still uncontrollable.

“Another high-level second-tier mental skill, seems easier than hunting three second-tier skills, but…” Su Chen shook his head inwardly.

The physical-side Tier 2 advanced profession can be found in the City Patrol Department and the Exploration Department.

However, on the spiritual side, Su Chen has not heard of any other second-tier upper-level cultivators in Nanfeng City; he has no way of knowing them.

"Take it slow. If Nanfeng City doesn't have it, Yingfeng definitely will." Su Chen rubbed his chest. "Perfect, by then, when I evolve to the top level of the second tier, it will also meet the requirements of the [Spatial Organizer]."

Of the three requirements, only traversing spatial rifts and possessing a top-tier second-tier profession on the mental side remain.

One cubic meter of storage space is still a bit cramped. After storing some odds and ends, medicines and the like, it's almost full.

I'm not in the right condition to exercise today, so I decided to take a day off. I went to the cafeteria and asked the chef on duty to cook two dishes for me, which was a nice treat.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Old Sun arrived in high spirits, carrying a metal box in his right hand.

"Brother, brother..." He grabbed Su Chen's hand and only let go after they entered the room. His eyes were practically closed from laughing so hard. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I really have to thank you this time."

"That was truly a den of the cult of the cult of the cult. We wiped them out in one fell swoop, captured several guys, and even a second-tier professional. That's quite an achievement."

“What does this have to do with me?” Su Chen shook his head. “It’s my brother’s achievement.”

Fatty Sun grinned even wider, "I understand, I understand, brother, I just came to share my joy with you."

He placed the metal box on the table, and upon opening it, he was surprised to find five tubes of Mist-Slaying Potion inside.

Fatty Sun sighed, "I also brought you into the Ministry of Supervision. No one understands your hard work better than me. The three tubes the ministry assigns you every week are simply not enough."

"You can use these for now."

"Brother Sun, it's a waste of your talents to keep you in the Internal Affairs Department," Su Chen said sincerely.

Sun Pangzi felt relieved and said in a low voice, "To be honest, brother, don't let my easygoing and fat appearance fool you, I also have a heart full of ambition."

"But the internal affairs department doesn't work on the front lines, and without outstanding achievements, it's difficult to even dream of becoming a deputy minister."

Su Chen suddenly realized something and said inexplicably, "Actually, I will leave Nanfeng City sooner or later."

He will leave sooner or later, which means that his position and achievements in the supervisory department are of little use to him; only benefits are truly important.

Fatty Sun understood immediately, "Nanfeng City can't hold back a true dragon like you."

After seeing Fatty Sun off, Su Chen looked at the medicine on the table, shook his head and chuckled, "I guess I'm getting two birds with one stone?"

His chest still ached slightly. The branch office always kept healing ointments on hand, but those things were of little use even to a first-tier professional, let alone him.

After downing a mouthful of spiritual energy potion, Su Chen entered the training room. His physical injuries did not affect the operation of his meditation technique.

"The progress of the Secret Tool Master is almost maxed out. After the promotion, the ability will be transformed and the strength will be further enhanced."

After meditating until mid-afternoon, Su Chen felt dizzy and lightheaded, so he went out to call Zhang Hengyu and went to the cafeteria for lunch.

The kid seemed to be really pent up; he was radiating an air of frustration. After coming out of the room, he started talking incessantly to Su Chen.

“…I’m about to advance to the second-tier profession.” Zhang Hengyu suddenly blurted out.

Su Chen glanced up at him and said somewhat perfunctorily, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Zhang Hengyu hesitated, but Su Chen said, "If you really can't take it anymore, go out for a walk. If you really cause problems by holding it in, your dad and sister will come after me."

“I can handle it,” Zhang Hengyu retorted instinctively. The intensity of his training during this period was unprecedented.

Exercise should be balanced with rest. Long-term, monotonous, and strenuous exercise can easily cause mental damage, which will put you at a disadvantage when facing certain mental attacks in the future.

He had always had a strict training plan, but it was disrupted after he came here.

He discovered that Su Chen never went out; he spent all his time exercising in his room. He found it hard to bear the thought of Su Chen working out so hard while he was resting.

“…However…” Zhang Hengyu’s tone changed, and with a hint of shame and a flicker in his eyes, he advised, “Training requires a balance of work and rest, otherwise you’re prone to psychological problems.”

He feels uneasy if he doesn't practice on his own, but he feels comfortable when the two of them practice together.

"If I were that fragile, I would have run into trouble back when I was a refugee." Su Chen took a sip of soup and let out a long, comfortable sigh, a casual remark that made Zhang Hengyu's face turn red.

Before the two had finished eating, Director Hou Xu came over, looking surprised, "Section Chief Su actually decided to come out today."

"Staying in the room all the time, I'm going to rot away." Su Chen shifted his position, still holding a large, golden-brown piece of meat in his hand. "Chief, would you like some?"

"No, thank you." Hou Xu waved his hand and explained, "Someone from headquarters is coming over later to ask you something."

"Headquarters?" Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. Fatty Sun hadn't informed him beforehand.

Old Sun doesn't know either?

"What's going on? Why is this happening so suddenly?" Su Chen asked casually.

"..." Hou Xu hesitated slightly, glanced around, and saw that there was no one in the cafeteria at this time. He sat down next to Su Chen and looked at Zhang Hengyu.

Zhang Hengyu blinked, seemingly somewhat bewildered.

Hou Xu was speechless, but Su Chen said, "It's alright, Lao Zhang is one of us."

Hou Xu leaned forward, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "This time it's very unusual. There's a patrol section chief, people from the city patrol department, and another guy I don't recognize, but the other two are led by him. I guess he's from the exploration department."

"A joint investigation by three departments is no small matter."

Su Chen paused slightly, his mind racing. He had been doing so many things in secret that it was hard to pinpoint the exact reason for his visit.

Hou Xu stopped there, and Su Chen pondered for a moment, then finished the food on his plate and returned to his room.

“A joint investigation by three departments…” Su Chen muttered to himself, sending a message to Lao Sun, but didn’t reply for the time being.

I sniffed myself and smelled the fermenting smell of sweat, so I decided to take a shower first.

Buzz--
A flowing blue aura enveloped him, and the water droplets on his body gradually dried. Su Chen looked in the mirror and, as usual, switched to his "Black Tuo Believer" persona.

He now converts to the Black Buddha faith once or twice a day for exploratory purposes.

Since I last sensed the strange artifact, I haven't had any particular feeling lately.

But today was different. The moment he switched, he sensed something was amiss.

"A treacherous artifact?" Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, then he shook his head: "No, it feels too faint, like when I faced the True Black Tuo believers last time."

He sensed it carefully, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked down: "It's right here! A follower of the Black Tortoise!"

"An undercover agent hiding here? No, that's not right. This is the first time we've noticed one in all these days."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The sudden knocking interrupted Su Chen's train of thought.

Upon opening the door, one sees a civilian inspector from the branch office, with short, shoulder-length hair. His gaze swept over Su Chen's bare upper body without any apparent embarrassment.

Meeting Su Chen's questioning gaze, she explained, "Director Hou asked me to inform you that the person has arrived."

"A joint investigation by three departments?" Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, realizing something, but he remained outwardly calm. "I understand. I'll go down now."

“There’s a ghost among the people who came…” Su Chen changed his clothes. The sense of connection between believers could only be perceived when they were very close.

"Since you sensed him just now, he probably sensed me too."
