My profession is too unique.

Chapter 97: Professional Analysis - The Sealed [Saint]

Subconsciously, Su Chen reached into his storage space and pulled out the potion, glancing at it briefly.

"There are only ten portions of each type left, and they've almost all been used up. They definitely won't last until the trial court assessment begins."

Fortunately, there was no gravity chamber on the spaceship, which weakened the training effect and also reduced the digestion of the medicine; otherwise, it would have been used up long ago.

Su Chen didn't stop until late at night after entering the gravity chamber.

I arrived in Yingfeng today and haven't stopped for a moment. I exercised until midnight and am feeling quite tired.

Lying in bed, Su Chen rested for a while. As a mental professional, a little sleep was enough.

The next day, around seven or eight o'clock, Su Chen woke up feeling refreshed. He checked his bracelet and found a lot of information.

Yesterday, thanks to Yang Yan's connections and Gu Bing's help, we were able to get Zhang Hengyu and others' contact information.

Zhang Hengyu sent him a message inviting him to dinner tonight, and Du Yu also notified him, briefly explaining the situation.

After he left with Yang Yan yesterday, the others also found good places to stay. Since they were all from Nanfeng, they naturally stuck together.

After getting everything ready today, I suggested we all get together.

After a moment's thought, Su Chen didn't refuse and replied to both of them that he would go that evening.

After a quick wash, Su Chen left the hotel in high spirits.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Su Chen couldn't help but glance at the huge "sun" located on the east side, so dazzling that he couldn't help but squint.

"I really miss this kind of sunshine..." After basking in the sun for a while, Su Chen felt completely comfortable.

Putting everything else aside, at least we don't have to see that "hellish" filter from Nanfeng every day anymore.

The translation office seems close from here, but that's only if you're traveling by hovercar.

"I'll just call a car..." he muttered. The hotel offered this service; it was a half-hour drive and only cost fifty gold coins.

After a short while, a hovercar landed.

"Going to the translation office..." The driver was very talkative and chatted with Su Chen as soon as he got in the car. "This is the first time I've taken a fare to this place."

"Thank you for your help," Su Chen replied simply.

"It's not Yingfeng's, is it?" The car owner glanced at him in the rearview mirror with a hint of surprise.

"How did you figure that out?" Su Chen asked, somewhat surprised.

“Accent…” The car owner grinned, excitedly saying, “Although everyone speaks roughly the same language, there are still some differences due to regional factors.”

"However, you have to listen carefully. I've heard it so many times that my ears are sensitive to it."

"It seems like it's almost time for Yingfeng's various agencies to recruit people, but... you've come way too early."

"Something came up..." Su Chen replied with a smile, glancing at the surrounding traffic, and suddenly asked, "Are there any requirements for driving a hovercar?"

"You don't know?" The driver asked in surprise, then casually replied, "Just become a regular driver and get certified by the association, and that's it."

"Ordinary driver? Occupation?" Su Chen became interested.

"It's a special profession..." the driver chatted enthusiastically. "Ordinary drivers can only drive hovercars. To drive a hovertrain, you have to be promoted to a senior driver, and for a spaceship, you need a special-grade driver..."

It seems like there's no such requirement over in the south... Su Chen couldn't help but think, "Does driving require a specific profession?"

"You don't have to work, but you can't carry passengers; you can only drive yourself," the driver explained. "Ordinary drivers have a special ability: they are more focused and have faster reaction times when driving."

"I've heard that advanced drivers can even enhance the capabilities of the vehicle itself."

Su Chen understood that every industry has its professions, but that doesn't mean you have to be employed to do them.

Like a chef, all you do is cook food, but the profession brings various special bonuses.

Su Chen asked, "Is the request difficult?"

“Ordinary drivers don’t have any requirements, as long as…” The driver grinned and was about to finish speaking when a glint of wariness flashed in his eyes. “Young man, isn’t this entrapment a bit too much? Your professional inspection department is getting more and more despicable.”

“Uh…” Su Chen opened his mouth, then fell silent.

The driver seemed to feel cheated and fell silent, muttering something like, "The inspection department is shameless..."

Upon arriving at the translation office, Su Chen only needed to provide his identification code to proceed without any obstacles.

"As expected of an official." The driver in the distance watched Su Chen enter and couldn't help but sneer.

……

"You're here today?"

When Sang Hanhai saw Su Chen walk in, he put down the metal instrument he was holding, and the surrounding staff all looked over.

There were noticeably more staff members during the day, some of whom didn't recognize Su Chen and showed curious expressions.

After asking the colleagues who were on duty last night and learning the general situation, I was quite surprised.

"Isn't this because I wanted to help you decipher it as soon as possible?" Su Chen's eyes darted around.

Sang Hanhai chuckled, "You smooth-talking kid, you just want to help me decipher it as soon as possible so you can change your job, right?"

"Your insight is truly remarkable," Su Chen readily admitted.

"What are you looking at? The Holy Word Stone is over there." Sang Hanhai saw Su Chen turning his head, looking left and right in the laboratory, and couldn't help but point to the instrument in the center of the room.

"Let me see if there are any other Holy Word Stones." Su Chen didn't try to hide anything and said bluntly, "I thought you had Holy Word Stones all over the place here."

“Haha…” Sang Hanhai laughed twice and shook his head, saying, “There aren’t that many Sacred Word Stones. When the Translation Office was first established, it was pretty much what you imagined.”

“But now fewer and fewer relics are being discovered, not to mention the Word Stone, and I study the relatively rare Hispanic script, which is even rarer.”

"Your work clothes are over there, go change into them first," Sang Hanhai instructed.

Su Chen changed into a white lab coat. This was no ordinary lab coat; the material was soft and comfortable, and it could adapt to different body shapes.

"It's actually a tiered item..." Su Chen couldn't help but be surprised, stroking his work clothes.

[Translation Department Senior Work Uniform (Tier 1): Made of Yunshu fabric, featuring dustproof, self-cleaning, and self-adaptive properties.]

The profound heritage of the Translation Department is reflected in every little detail.

“Actually, you don’t need to be in such a hurry. The Heavenly Appointment Translation Service is quite special. When it will resonate with the Sacred Word Stone is completely uncontrollable. It will take a few days to get through.” Sang Hanhai looked down at the symbols on the screen.

"What exactly is this 'Heaven-Sent Translation Position'?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

Sang Hanhai looked up at him and said, "It's hard to say the specifics. There aren't enough specimens for research, and such cases are rare."

It's best if we can't study it; Su Chen felt much more relaxed.

"By the way, what profession are you planning to exchange for?" Sang Hanhai asked casually. "I did a simple assessment last night. Even if it's just a space support profession, its value isn't low. Even if you're just helping me with decryption, it's enough to exchange for a third or fourth-tier profession."

"If you're having trouble figuring it out, you can tell me about your current job, and I'll give you some advice."

Su Chen's heart stirred slightly. The superior class of Gale Hunter is [Hurricane Warrior], which is only a mid-level Tier 3 class. Su Chen had already eliminated it from his list of options.

However, the higher-level profession of [Arcane Scholar], [Arcane Weaver], remains at the upper-tier third level; one can simply proceed step by step.

I still have a copy of the [Low-Tier Divine Power], but it would be best to avoid the trouble and effort involved.

"If it can be compatible with Gale Hunter, it can definitely be compatible with Wind and Thunder Envoy. It would be good to have this expert help me take a look..." Su Chen's heart stirred slightly. Xia Hanshi had also mentioned this matter and would help him find someone to study it after he returned.

Career path compatibility and job change are also complex subjects.

"My current profession is a Tier 2 Advanced Gale Hunter..." Su Chen said, "focusing on speed and strength... and wind element..."

“I know this profession…” Sang Hanhai said without looking up, “It’s a profession with both high requirements and wide adaptability, and it exists in many lower-level cities.”

"Hurricane Warrior is only a mid-tier Tier 3 warrior, which is indeed not enough for you... Hmm..." He pondered for a moment, "There are two options: Sharp Wind Golden Blade Warrior and Gale Swift Thunder Warrior, both of which are high-tier Tier 3 warriors..."

"The former, when paired with the metal element, focuses on sustained damage, while the latter, when paired with the lightning element, is known for its burst damage; both are quite good."

Sang Hanhai quickly offered two options, then added, "However, since you are a Wind Hunter who has changed your class, your first-tier class should be Wind Walker. The problem is that you don't have the affinity for the gold and lightning elements."

"If you want to change jobs, you need to be compatible with their respective first-tier jobs and develop them to 100%."

This was the first time Su Chen had learned about the troubles of changing jobs, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Sang Hanhai asked helplessly, "Have the cities below stopped teaching this kind of knowledge?"

Su Chen paused slightly. All told, he had only been in the academy for a little over a month, and he didn't know whether he had taught or not.

Sang Hanhai didn't press further, explaining, "The lower the rank, the simpler the compatibility; the higher the rank, the more troublesome it is."

"For example, the Gale Hunter is just a pure wind elementalist. They can't even meet the basic job requirements for these two professions, so how can they talk about promotion?"

"This is also an advantage of top-tier professions. Some second-tier top-tier professions are born with dual elements, making compatibility natural and simple."

"In that case..." Su Chen couldn't help but ask, "Is there a top-tier Tier 3?"

Upon hearing this question, the other staff members in the lab couldn't help but look over, their expressions revealing their unease.

“Haha…” Sang Hanhai shook his head and laughed, “Don’t even think about it. Reaching the top level of the third tier is not a requirement that can be met by simply working hard. Some even require specific training from a young age, and you can’t make a single mistake.”

Su Chen grinned but didn't press the matter.

Sang Hanhai then said, "However, both of the professional courts I mentioned have such opportunities. You are Xia Hanshi's student, with double red gold rank, so becoming an inner court seed is not difficult. You have a chance to choose a profession, so don't waste it here."

"We can save this opportunity for later. If we feel there are shortcomings in certain aspects, we can use it then."

"I heard that in our Translation Department, there's a profession called 'Saint'?" Su Chen asked tentatively.

Sang Hanhai paused, his brows furrowing slightly. He looked up at Su Chen and asked, "Did Xia Hanshi ask you to?"

"You can forget about this job. It's been shelved. There's no way you can take it," Sang Hanhai said decisively, then turned to complain, "That old bastard Xia Hanshi is still up to his old tricks."

Sang Hanhai looked quite annoyed, and Su Chen didn't know how to ask, so she quickly reassured him: "It wasn't the teacher who asked me to ask. I just heard him mention it and I was a little curious."

Sigh...sigh...

Su Chen's expression shifted. "I feel the Holy Word Stone is calling me again."

Sang Hanhai couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, your acting is too clumsy."

"No, Elder Sang... I really have a feeling..." Su Chen frowned, having already arrived in front of the Sacred Word Stone, and murmured softly, "...Second-tier...?"

He turned around excitedly, "Elder Sang, it's Tier 2, Tier 2... the required mental-side profession is Tier 2!"

Sang Hanhai's face stiffened slightly as he looked at him suspiciously, while the other staff members exchanged glances.

They'd been working here for a long time and had never seen anything like this. Every time Old Sang deciphered a code, he worked tirelessly, day and night, pouring his heart and soul into it. Was this what a divinely appointed translator was like? So extraordinary?
"Second tier, you're not kidding me, are you?" Sang Hanhai stood up and walked to the Holy Word Stone.

“How is that possible…” Su Chen said solemnly, and Sang Hanhai verified it again.

Shoot the arrow first, then draw the target; the process is much simpler. In just over half an hour, Sang Hanhai verified the result, staring at Su Chen as if he'd seen a ghost: "It really is second-tier, this..."

"What's wrong?" Su Chen felt guilty when she saw his furrowed brows.

“The last translator I encountered was quite different from you,” Sang Hanhai said.

"What does it look like?" Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Sang Hanhai pondered for a long time before saying, "I forgot."

Su Chen was speechless, and the other staff members who had been looking forward to it all lowered their heads.

Sang Hanhai explained helplessly, "That was decades ago. I was just an apprentice back then."

"However, it's not a bad thing to decipher it as soon as possible."

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, revealed a "second-tier" information point, and then said no more, only chatting with Sang Hanhai to deepen their relationship.

We had lunch together and didn't leave until late afternoon.

Upon learning that he had a dinner engagement that evening, Sang Hanhai specially sent someone to take him there.

"Swift as the Wind and Thunder..."

Sitting in the back row, Su Chen pondered that his prerequisite profession, [Wind and Thunder Envoy], should be a good fit for it.

"I can only get it by going to the courtroom, so there's no rush. My development progress is only halfway done."

The gathering place was not nearby; it was called Baishenglou and looked quite luxurious from the outside, with a large number of people.

After seeing the driver off, Su Chen glanced at the virtual screen and muttered, "Number 1406..."

Led by the waiter, we arrived at the private room, where quite a few people were already there, including Du Yu and others, as well as people from Nanfeng Academy.

Upon his arrival, the discussion noticeably quieted down.

"Brother Su, you've finally arrived. Please sit down..." Du Yu stood up and greeted him warmly.

Sitting in the main seat was Zhang Yunqing, wearing a pair of silver earrings and dressed very smartly.

She was still the organizer of this gathering. She felt a little awkward when she saw Su Chen, but she still got up to offer him a seat.

Su Chen waved his hand, casually sat down next to Du Yu, and listened quietly to everyone's discussion.

"...The requirements for engraving have increased significantly this year. The initial engraving completion rate needs to be above 90% within 30 minutes. I feel that's going to be a bit difficult..."

"Yes... It's the same for the craftsmen's workshop. They also need to have a good understanding of the properties of the materials, which increases the difficulty considerably."

"Over the years, the recruitment requirements of Yingfeng's various branches have been constantly increasing, probably because more and more people are coming from lower-tier cities..."

Everyone sighed deeply, realizing that coming to Yingfeng did not guarantee staying there.

In order to prevent lower-level cities from wasting too many resources, the recruitment time for members of all organizations in Yingfeng City was set within the same month.

They arrived early, so they could ask around beforehand, but none of them were in a very good mood.

"The craftsmanship workshop?" Su Chen's interest was piqued. "The place where weapons are forged?"

The speaker was Jiang Xi, a student from Nanfeng Academy. Although she was two years older than Su Chen, she was still a little flustered and a little honored when the other party looked at her.

“Yes, yes… it falls under the Resource Division, and its main function is to research and develop weapons,” he explained.

"Can I upgrade my weapons? Like upgrading a Tier 1 weapon to Tier 2?" Su Chen asked. As his rank increased, the secret tools he had previously controlled would definitely not be able to keep up with his growth trajectory.

However, he could not change the secret weapon he controlled, so he could only try to upgrade it.

"Upgrade?" He hesitated, then said awkwardly, "I haven't gone in yet, there are some things I don't know."

"Then I wish you success in being selected." Su Chen raised his glass to congratulate him, and the other person hurriedly raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Su, why do you live so far away? Did you go to the North City?" Du Yu asked in surprise.

He asked Su Chen where she lived, wanting to get to know her better, but the two lived too far apart, and it would take most of the day to get there.

"It's relatively close to the translation office..." Su Chen replied casually.

"Translation...Department?" Du Yu's expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "You can come and go in and out of the Translation...Department?"

The discussion at the dinner table gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes turned to look at Ying Feng. Even though they had only been there for a day, they already had a general understanding of him.

Naturally, he knew that the translation department, this transcendent place, was the source of almost all of Ying Feng's professions.

Zhang Yunqing couldn't help but look over, her eyes filled with an indescribable turmoil.

Translation Office... Su Chen was just accompanying Yang Yan to deliver the Sacred Word Stone, how could he be allowed to enter and leave the Translation Office?

Su Chen then realized what was happening and explained, "I'm just helping out temporarily; I'm not a formal member."

"That's enough for now." Du Yu said enviously. Everyone else had complicated expressions, feeling a pang of bitterness in their hearts, but no one dared to show it.

"Sister Yunqing, is there really a talent level of Black Jade in this court of judgment assessment?" someone asked.

All eyes turned to Zhang Yunqing, who hesitated before nodding. "That's right. This person's identity is kept secret. I don't know much about him, but he does exist and has already been recruited by the Fourth Judge."

Zhang Yunqing said softly, "In any case, I wish you all the best in staying at Yingfeng."

Everyone raised their glasses, and amidst the clinking sounds, only anticipation remained.

After a few rounds of drinks, Du Yu whispered, "Old Su, I heard that Jiang He has also come."

"Jiang He?" Su Chen was taken aback and couldn't help but look over. If Du Yu hadn't mentioned her, he would have almost forgotten about this woman.

“Yes, I heard it from my cousin. They arrived even earlier than us. The Jiang family also has some influence in Yingfeng,” Du Yu explained.

Su Chen was slightly surprised, thinking of Jiang Rong, the research director who had a low profile in Nanfeng, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a cunning old fox..."

But he didn't take it seriously. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they all left.

Su Chen was about to leave when Zhang Yunqing called him back.

"Wait a minute..." Zhang Yunqing, wearing slender crystal high heels that reached Su Chen's chin, looked embarrassed and couldn't bring herself to call him "Uncle-Master".

"Someone is looking for you. Gu Bing asked me for a table and will be there soon."

"Who?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask, but Zhang Yunqing had no answer either.

He didn't have to wait long before a pitch-black hovercar descended from the sky and landed by the roadside. A young man got out, looking down at a virtual screen, his face showing exhaustion.

It's unclear what happened, but he seemed to mutter a few curses before turning off the virtual screen.

Looking up, he quickly locked his gaze on Su Chen, and a hint of excitement finally appeared on his face. "Junior Brother!"

he shouted.

Su Chen immediately understood; he was Old Xia's student.

“Junior brother…” The other person walked up to him, looked Su Chen up and down, and said, “Teacher is right, the one who looks the most handsome in the crowd is him.”

Would Old Xia really say something like that? Su Chen pictured the gloomy-faced old man in his mind; it didn't seem like him.

“Senior Brother Bu Siqi is just as handsome as the teacher described,” Su Chen replied.

Xia Hanshi had told him that someone would take care of him when he arrived at his destination, and this should be the person.

Old Xia has many students, including not only those with high talent, but also some whose talent is not so high.

Bu Siqi couldn't help but grin and explained:

"I miscalculated the time. I thought you wouldn't arrive for another two days. Luckily, you didn't end up homeless. Otherwise, when the teacher comes back, he'll definitely kill me."

"The teacher wouldn't be willing to part with it," Su Chen said with a smile.

The two had a foundation of trust, and it wasn't long before they became quite familiar with each other.

Zhang Yunqing had already seen off the last person and said goodbye to them.

"Junior brother, where do you live? I'll take you there," Bu Siqi asked.

“Moyun Temple…” Su Chen gave the location, and Bu Siqi was taken aback. “The one in Beicheng, why are you living there?”

"It's convenient to go to the translation office..." Su Chen had no choice but to explain again.

"Go to the translation office?" Bu Siqi's eyes suddenly deepened. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Impressive, junior brother."

"Just helping out temporarily."

He started the hovercar and disappeared into the lane above, and couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "So many people want to help, but they can't."

As the two chatted casually, Su Chen gradually learned about the other person. Bu Siqi was only a Silver-level talent, but he was the son of Xia Hanshi's old friend, and his father had passed away.

"There are about twenty days left in the trial assessment. With your talent, becoming a candidate for the inner court shouldn't be a problem," Bu Siqi said, getting down to business. "But there are some things you need to pay attention to."

"The fourth presiding judge—Wei Yinshuo, that Zhou Xian is his grand-disciple. He sends a lot of benefits over every year, and recently he has been very dissatisfied with his teacher."

The fourth presiding judge... Wei Yinshuo... Su Chen frowned. That guy who took in the Jadeite-level talent?

"He's still the chief examiner this year, so he might try to trip us up."

Su Chen shook his head: "Zhou Xian is colluding with the Ghost God Cult, so why would he be dissatisfied with the teacher?"

"It's because Zhou Xian colluded with the Ghost God Cult, which more or less implicated him. Coupled with some previous grudges, the resentment naturally fell on the teacher," Bu Siqi said helplessly.

Seeing Su Chen remain silent, Bu Siqi added, "Don't worry too much. As long as the teacher can come back before the assessment, he can only keep it to himself."

"Did he take on a student with the talent for ink emerald?" Su Chen asked.

Bu Siqi's expression changed, and after a long while, he gave a wry smile: "Yeah, I don't know where that old guy got such good luck, a Black Jade-level talent..."

Seeing Su Chen fall silent, he wanted to say a few words of comfort to Su Chen, such as about mindset and hard work.

But for some reason, when I tried to say it, I felt a little listless.

That old guy has a successor, but what about the teacher...?

He glanced at Su Chen; his double red gold was inferior to the black jade, but it wasn't without hope of catching up.
