Chapter 134: 【bone Armor User】 Old Xia’s Past
“Could it be that this kind of offering in Yuan Du is also to meet the job appointment requirements?”
For a moment, Su Chen also couldn’t figure it out, so he temporarily suppressed it, “Wait for people from Yuan Du to come, try to contact them, see if there’s any gain.”
According to what Old Sang said, Yuan Du was very far from Ying Feng, and had to pass through the White Sea, which was a boundless white ocean, very dangerous, with many powerful mutants active.
It couldn’t be reached in a short time.
“Even taking an aircraft takes so long, this planet seems much larger than Earth.” Su Chen opened his bracelet and reported to Chong Jingtian that Sang Hanhai had been sent away.
The other party replied with a thumbs up, Su Chen’s expression was odd, and he went straight back to his residence.
The disturbance in the Court of Justice gradually subsided, but the atmosphere in the entire Ying Feng became increasingly tense, many people keenly felt that there were more Inspector Guards active on the streets.
Moreover, one could see the assisting City Patrol Guards and Exploration Guards, their familiarity with Ying Feng far surpassed that of the Court of Justice, some places and some people were already under control.
Many black markets were uprooted, and many people were arrested, as if looking for something, causing people to panic.
Another seven or eight days passed, Sang Hanhai sent him a message, that Holy Word Stone finally arrived, calling him to come see it.
“I wonder what profession this Holy Word Stone records…” Su Chen set off immediately, thinking on the way.
After arriving at the Translation Department, Sang Hanhai was in the laboratory, seeing him come so hurriedly, he couldn’t help teasing, “You’re really impatient, want to get another profession for free?”
“Isn’t this curiosity?” Su Chen chuckled.
“Many professions may not be useful, or not very useful, or even impossible to job appoint.” Sang Hanhai put down his work, slowly walked out of the laboratory, saying as he walked:
“I remember there’s a profession whose ability is to turn the water drunk into blue, there might be some profession that can make more use of blue water, unfortunately we haven’t found it.”
Su Chen followed behind Sang Hanhai, couldn’t help asking, “How were these professions created, and many job appointment requirements are quite metaphysical, what exactly is supervising?”
Other people in this world don’t have panels like him, but after learning the requirements of a certain profession and completing them, they will also have a sense.
But if unaware of the profession information and job appointment requirements, even if completed unknowingly, one remains oblivious, but later upon learning the relevant job appointment requirements, past actions can count as completed, quite magical.
“If I knew, would I still be here?” Sang Hanhai glanced at him, “Professions are like the basic rules of the world, like water freezing, people dying.”
The job appointment issues of professions are old debates, no one discusses these things anymore, not because they lack value, but because there are no answers.
“That Holy Word Stone is not under my charge, right now it’s in Old Qin’s hands.” Sang Hanhai went downstairs, taking Su Chen to another laboratory.
On the way, Su Chen looked up at the spirit ring still operating above the sky curtain, and asked in a low voice, “I heard that Pu Zhenghong, Old Pu, is your senior brother?”
“Heard?” Sang Hanhai said irritably, “Didn’t Xia Hanshi tell you?”
“Uh…” Su Chen hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
“Heh…” Sang Hanhai sneered, “Your teacher and my senior brother are old friends.”
“But now they’ve fallen out, no contact until death.”
No contact until death? Su Chen was speechless, no wonder Old Xia acted so strangely when he learned he was involved with Sang Hanhai.
“Of course, that’s their business, doesn’t have much to do with us.” Sang Hanhai changed his tone, “You don’t need to take it too much to heart.”
I still want to figure out where the symbols on the defensive spirit ring came from, now that they’re no contact until death, how am I supposed to probe… Su Chen grumbled inwardly.
“What exactly happened?” He probed.
Sang Hanhai sighed, “All old events from years ago, forty years ago, Xia Hanshi, Pu Zhenghong, Chong Jingtian… all good friends.”
“At that time, Xia Hanshi killed his way up from a lower tier city, went through hardships, to become an Inner Court Seed of the Court of Justice, humorous and witty, good reputation.”
Humorous and witty these four words, could also be used on Old Xia?
Su Chen thought of that sinister old face, hard to imagine.
Sang Hanhai stopped, opened his bracelet, pulled up a picture, projected it for Su Chen to see, “You’ve never seen your teacher when he was young, right.”
It was a group photo of four people, the burly guy in the center was clearly Chong Jingtian, much younger than now, head held high, arrogance piercing through the picture.
The one on the left, chubby and round, with a smiling kindly face, Su Chen had no impression, but clearly not Old Xia.
The lean figure on the far right, head raised, arms crossed over chest, sharp gaze through messy hair, also high-spirited.
“This… this is my teacher?” Su Chen pointed at the lean figure.
Sang Hanhai laughed, “Thought you wouldn’t recognize him, he’s different now.”
“Who is this woman?” Su Chen pointed again at the woman standing between Chong Jingtian and Xia Hanshi, delicate features, black hair draped behind, looking like a gentle big sister.
Interestingly, Chong Jingtian and Xia Hanshi both subtly leaned their bodies toward this woman, this body language said enough.
“Ji Rou…” Sang Hanhai’s expression sobered, “One of the Inner Court Seeds back then.”
Su Chen’s expression was strange, Old Xia’s appearance really made it hard to overlay any male-female romance plots, but clearly related.
“…With your clever mind, you can probably guess some, but they’re all past matters, I’m too lazy to mention.” Sang Hanhai put away the photo, “Back then, they discovered a ruins, and found Qiong Guang inside.”
“But there was an accident, she was sealed dead in the ruins.”
“My teacher has been looking for highly talented people to save her?” Su Chen thought of what Old Xia mentioned before, instantly understanding.
“Correct.” Sang Hanhai nodded, sighed, “My senior brother and the other two are tight-lipped about what happened inside, but after that, the three basically went their separate ways.”
“And Xia Hanshi changed the most, almost overturned his personality, became reclusive, cold, at any cost.”
Poor boy from a lower tier city—Xia Hanshi.
Gentle and intellectual big sister—Ji Rou.
Steady and reliable Core Seed—Chong Jingtian.
The entanglements of these three, Su Chen could imagine hundreds of thousands of words.
Old Xia ah Old Xia, didn’t expect you had this side, Su Chen muttered inwardly, and asked again:
“Does that ruins require highly talented people to enter?”
“Yeah, very mysterious ruins, seems to record some powerful profession…” Sang Hanhai shook his head, “Qiong Guang was just one of the rewards.”
Powerful profession? Could it be a Great Venerable? Su Chen couldn’t help thinking, and said:
“So, through the grapevine it became Old Xia always seeking exceptionally talented people to explore the legendary profession, leading to their downfall?”
The two had arrived downstairs of another laboratory, Sang Hanhai nodded upon hearing, “Correct, but the dangers in that ruins aren’t exaggerated.”
“Now jointly controlled by the Four Cities, regularly sending people to explore, but basically no gains.”
“How is it jointly controlled by the Four Cities?” Su Chen was surprised, wasn’t it discovered by Chong Jingtian and them?
“That’s more complicated, can’t explain in one or two sentences.” Sang Hanhai took him upstairs.
“Old Qin!”
As soon as entering the laboratory, Sang Hanhai shouted loudly.
“Why so loud, I’m not deaf.” An old man turned around, irritably said.
“Haha…” Sang Hanhai laughed, “Hasn’t it been a long time since we met?”
“Su Chen?” Someone nearby called him, surprisingly Jin Yunxuan, wearing work uniform, expression complex.
“Your Excellency is here too…” Su Chen was quite surprised, how is this guy everywhere.
“Old Qin is his teacher, if he’s not here, where else?” Sang Hanhai turned his head.
“Oh, oh…” Su Chen realized, apologetically said, “Sorry.”
“No matter…” Jin Yunxuan waved his hands repeatedly, a hint of fawning in his expression.
Because of multiple contacts, his attention to Su Chen far exceeded others in the Translation Department, knowing he defeated Chu Xuan, even vaguely called “Chief Seed”.
This is a high potential figure who could become Chief Judge, in the entire Translation Department, only a few can disregard.
“This is Su Chen…” Qin Qiyuan also looked over, eyes appraising, “Really able to resonate with two Holy Word Stones consecutively?”
“Why would I lie to you, your student saw it with his own eyes, where’s the new Holy Word Stone, quickly take it out for him to try.” Sang Hanhai urged.
Sang Hanhai’s status in the Translation Department was top tier, Qin Qiyuan naturally said no more, opened the nearby metal display cabinet, took out the just-delivered Holy Word Stone that hadn’t entered the deciphering process yet.
“Quick, quick try it.” Sang Hanhai impatiently took it, handed it to Su Chen.
Su Chen took it, scanned it.
【Discovered special profession—Bone Armor User, can job appoint after completing requirements.】
【Job appointment requirement one: Must have job appointed at least two physical side top tier professions.】
【Job appointment requirement two: Without any defense, be attacked ten thousand times by same tier professional.】
【Job appointment requirement three: Fuse Forging Life Ore Vein Core】
Bone Armor User? Sounds like a profession that strengthens defense?
Su Chen speculated, the job appointment requirements aren’t low, should be pretty good.
【Bone Armor User comes aggressively, yet sees the greatness of Crimson Flame Thunder Great Venerable, decides to weaken the job appointment requirement.】
【Job appointment requirement two, strikes reduced to one thousand times.】
Strikes reduced, acceptable…
Su Chen frowned, tightly gripping the Holy Word Stone, under several gathered gazes, after a long time, he hesitantly said, “I feel something, seems like there’s Forging Life Ore…”
“Not a coincidence…” Sang Hanhai let out a long breath, although already resonated twice, he still wasn’t entirely reassured.
Qin Qiyuan suspiciously stared at him, he thought there would be some different scene, but it seemed very ordinary.
Taking back the Holy Word Stone, he immediately began verification, fully half an hour later, he dazedly said, “It’s real, there really is such a person…”
“Haha…” Sang Hanhai showed smugness, this guy was one he discovered.
“Sigh…” Qin Qiyuan sighed deeply, “With this kind of person, we’re probably all going to be unemployed.”
Su Chen repeatedly said, “I can only vaguely feel it, just providing support.”
“Old Qin, I told you your mentality is poor.” Sang Hanhai disdainfully said, “We’ve long stopped focusing on translating Holy Word Stones, only finding one every few months, now it’s translating technology, sorcery and such.”
“True.” Qin Qiyuan naturally understood, and had long heard about Su Chen from Jin Yunxuan’s mouth, but seeing it personally still had greater impact.
Sang Hanhai then said to Su Chen, “Next, you assist Old Qin with deciphering, after deciphering have him grade it, see what profession exchanges you need.”
“Hmm…” Su Chen thought, “I temporarily can’t think of any profession needs, do you have any recommendations?”
“Recommendations?” Sang Hanhai frowned, “Asking me to recommend on the spot, I really have no ideas.”
“In your current situation, better to improve profession development degree than job appoint special professions.”
More professions aren’t always better, the best is forming multi-profession linkages for various amplifications, if no long-term help, in youth it’s best to develop main profession.
“Tell me your situation, I’ll think…” Qin Qiyuan said, Sang Hanhai couldn’t know all professions, only responsible for his deciphered parts.
“You don’t know his situation?” Sang Hanhai was surprised.
“Heard the name, but no time to care about details.” Qin Qiyuan shook his head.
“Thanks for the trouble…” Su Chen pondered, then gave a general account, including profession types, talents etc., but profession levels etc. were vague.
“Dual professions in parallel… mental is Ink Jade, physical also Crimson Gold…” Qin Qiyuan pondered, “No wonder such fame, I actually have a profession suitable for you.”
“Oh.” Su Chen became interested.
“Reverse Yuan Practitioner.” Qin Qiyuan said, “This profession is very special, its main ability can convert mental power to stamina, stamina to mental power.”
Su Chen was stunned, eyes instantly bursting with light.
Health bar to mana bar, mana bar to health bar, there’s such an overpowered profession?
“This profession…” Sang Hanhai frowned, “So powerful, not low versatility, how haven’t I heard of it?”
Though respective focuses differ, he definitely would know powerful professions.
“Don’t rush, I haven’t finished.” Qin Qiyuan continued, “This profession’s job appointment difficulty is one aspect, another is big flaws.”
“After job appointment, your physical talent and mental talent will be forcibly averaged to the same level.”
“And, its professional ability only works when dual professions are same tier, same level.”
“Aren’t you misleading people?” Sang Hanhai shook his head repeatedly, “No wonder unheard of, too limiting.”
When just arriving at Ying Feng, everyone thought Su Chen was Double Crimson Gold, but still believed inferior to Chu Xuan, because talent determines ceiling.
Lowering talent equals self-weakening ceiling, total pit.
