Chapter 35: Crimson Gold Talent! Pearl In The Vast Sea
“Hmm, in that case, I can gain a unique advantage by learning a large number of Training Methods.” Su Chen pondered the feasibility.
According to his current Understanding, very few people do this.
The abilities born from Training Methods have too much uncertainty, and after practicing a certain Training Method to perfection, it has Benefits for Profession development.
Apart from Profession requirements, few people will learn more Body Tempering Methods.
“When the Training Method is not Proficient, the efficiency is indeed not high, but I have 【Scholar】, which can quickly increase Proficiency, minimizing the cost.”
“Sacrificing a bit of efficiency for abilities…” Su Chen thought this deal was very worthwhile; switching to other Training Methods wouldn’t prevent development either.
“However, this would require a large amount of Training Method Resources. It was probably very difficult before, but now with Old Yuan backing me, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
He glanced at the Panel; Void Ripper Warrior’s development progress had also reached 41%.
By mid-afternoon, the servant knocked on the door; Yuan Chenyang had returned.
In the living room, Old Yuan was rubbing his brows, looking quite fatigued, with Bai Fengxi sitting by his side.
“Come here, kid.” He waved his hand, signaling Su Chen to sit down.
“Why are you back so late.” Su Chen took the teapot from the servant and poured a cup of tea for Yuan Chenyang.
Bai Fengxi raised her eyebrow slightly and pointed at the empty cup in front of her.
Su Chen was speechless and also poured her a cup.
“Old bastard…” Yuan Chenyang took a sip of tea and immediately cursed, then sighed: “Kid, I’ve let you down.”
“Hm?” Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat; surely he wouldn’t have to pay with his life for Zhou Zong. He forcibly suppressed his inner unease and asked: “What happened?”
“You have to go to the Inspection Department.” Yuan Chenyang said helplessly.
“Inspection… Department?” Su Chen was slightly stunned and hesitated: “Your department?”
Yuan Chenyang nodded.
“Is this bad news?” Su Chen was a bit confused.
Yuan Chenyang was the Minister of Inspection, and he was his student; going to the Inspection Department would be like a fish in water.
“Spineless!” Yuan Chenyang slammed down his cup heavily and said with frustration at unfulfilled potential.
“He probably doesn’t know about the Quota.” Bai Fengxi said in a low voice.
Yuan Chenyang then realized and said awkwardly: “Uh, it’s like this: the Academy has one Quota each year to go to the Ying Feng Court of Justice, which is extremely precious.”
“Court of Justice?” Su Chen couldn’t help looking at Bai Fengxi. “Isn’t your Teacher one of the Chief Judges?”
This was revealed in bits and pieces from Bai Fengxi.
“What ‘your Teacher’; that’s your Grandteacher.” Yuan Chenyang coughed dryly twice.
Su Chen: “……”
Yuan Chenyang continued: “The Court of Justice is the cradle of all those in power, the direct line among the direct lines of Ying Feng.”
“Those who can go are the top talents from each city. Originally, Zhang Hengyu had the greatest hope this year, but you appeared out of nowhere and aroused the City Lord’s wariness.”
“The City Lord’s wariness?” Su Chen had some inkling. “Is he the City Lord’s son?”
“Yes.” Yuan Chenyang gritted his teeth. “Zhang Hongbo is a man with a kind face but cold heart; to eliminate you as a hidden threat, he wants to seal your Information.”
“Fuck, what an old bastard.” Su Chen also cursed loudly, but then said: “However, there’s no way around it; you don’t need to feel guilty about me.”
Seeing that Su Chen had no resentment, Yuan Chenyang secretly nodded to himself; what he said was only part of it, deliberately creating a sense of powerlessness.
He wanted to see if Su Chen would be dissatisfied if he acted unable to fight for it.
Their contact time was too short, and he was a Refugee; he didn’t Understand Su Chen’s Disposition.
Yuan Chenyang then explained: “However, this matter isn’t that simple. Even if you wanted to go this year, I wouldn’t let you. Your Information lists you as a Refugee, which is a natural disadvantage.”
“Do the higher-ups discriminate against Refugees?” Su Chen frowned.
“It’s not discrimination; it’s some historical issues.” Yuan Chenyang was vague. “The higher-ups find it hard for Refugees to become City Lords and such.”
“But by stepping back this time, I’ve traded for Zhang Hongbo to revise your Information next year and erase your Refugee status.”
Su Chen then understood; because of his Refugee status, that Quota had little hope to begin with.
But Yuan Chenyang maneuvered and reached this Transaction with Zhang Hongbo; it seemed like a concession but actually gained results.
“Thank you for your efforts.” Su Chen said sincerely.
“Since I’ve taken you as my student and accepted your things, I’ll do my best where I should.” Yuan Chenyang said casually: “You’re already a Professional; staying in South Wind Academy has little meaning.”
“The Inspection Department is also a good place for tempering.”
“Uh…” Su Chen thought for a moment and asked: “Is the work there busy?”
In South Wind Academy, he didn’t want to attend classes; in the Inspection Department, he didn’t want to work either.
Yuan Chenyang said irritably: “You’re my student; who dares to manage you there? Just don’t give them too big a handle, and I can give you some conveniences.”
“Of course, it’s also safer.” At this point, Yuan Chenyang paused before saying: “Any other requests?”
Su Chen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said: “One Body Tempering Method, one Meditation Method, and Auxiliary Potions and such. Oh, right, do you know the 【Scholar】 Profession? Are there similar Professions?”
“Here comes the ordering.” Yuan Chenyang glared at him. “Don’t you know not to bite off more than you can chew? You have a good Profession foundation; focus on the physical side.”
“I looked at the Profession Information you gave me; advancing to Second Order 【Gale Hunter】 should be no problem, and the Inspection Department happens to have that Profession Information stored.”
“I feel like my Mental Talent is very good.” Su Chen insisted.
“You feel?” Yuan Chenyang glanced at him and said irritably: “What use is feeling? Come… let me test you.”
With that, he picked up the Metal Box that was placed nearby.
Buzz–the box opened, white Mist surged out, containing palm-sized hemispherical objects, one silver and one Black.
“Test physical first…” Yuan Chenyang pointed to the Black hemisphere on the left.
Su Chen was quite surprised, not knowing the principle, and placed his hand on it.
A buzzing sound followed, and dense golden Patterns emerged on the sphere. After about two or three Breaths, a brilliant silver beam of light actually pierced through his palm.
“As expected, Brilliant Silver…” Yuan Chenyang’s expression softened, and he grinned: “I knew it; to Job Appointment as 【Void Ripper Warrior】 at such a young age, even with years of accumulation, your Physical Talent couldn’t be low.”
“Is that high?” Su Chen couldn’t help asking; it seemed like second-to-last in the Talent sequence.
Yuan Chenyang explained: “It’s already very good. Most people have no Talent at all. With sufficient Resources, even bronze can grind to Third Order. Zhang Hengyu is also Brilliant Silver; becoming a Fifth Order Professional is no problem.”
Su Chen was quite surprised; he actually had real Physical Talent?
His predecessor hadn’t felt it and was even much weaker than others.
Having transmigrated, growth in Mental Talent could be understood, but Physical shouldn’t increase out of thin air.
“Could it be…” His heart stirred. “Scholar?”
Increasing skill Proficiency improves efficiency, which is equivalent to increasing Talent. This thing probably can’t distinguish the difference.
“Let me test Mental Talent…” Su Chen saw Yuan Chenyang about to put it away and couldn’t help saying.
Yuan Chenyang was speechless: “Mental Talent is even more precious than Physical Talent, and if Mental Talent is really high, there would be abnormal manifestations.”
“Moreover, Mental and Physical Talent have some conflict; if one is high, the other will be low.”
Though he said that, he didn’t stop Su Chen.
He could understand; who wouldn’t hope to be one in ten thousand?
Su Chen placed his other hand on the silver hemisphere; this time, he felt a cool sensation travel up his arm into his forehead.
Just two or three Breaths.
Suddenly, a Crimson Gold beam of light pierced through his palm, brilliant and gorgeous.
“This is… Crimson Gold?” Su Chen looked up uncertainly.
But he saw Yuan Chenyang staring blankly at the beam, muttering: “Fuck, there really is a hidden gem!”
