Chapter 2: Reversal
Profession?
She had never seen these traits in Su Chen before.
Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, but the other party made no further moves.
At least the burly man next to him had lifted his head slightly.
Huh? Huh!
Su Chen couldn’t help but be confused. Then he saw the floating green hemp rope enter his sleeve from his cuff, wrapping around his limbs, his body beginning to move uncontrollably.
“Go, go, pinch her mouth!” The Rope Master roared, clutching his head, bending his body as he bellowed.
Under the Strongman profession, two clear characters appeared – Appointment!
At the same time, the Strongman had just reached Jiang He, his hand heading towards her head, his eyes wide, blood seeping from his nose and mouth.
“You…” The Strongman seemed unable to comprehend, his brow furrowed.
Jiang He’s voice, suppressed with pain, reached Su Chen’s ears, somewhat dampening the heat in his heart.
He calmed himself. Regardless of the future, the current trouble had not been resolved.
“Haha…” The short man had squatted down in front of Jiang He, his sinister voice following, “Madam, of course I know your identity, the seductive Violet, tsk tsk, worthy of the name…”
Although Su Chen could only see the other party’s back, he could imagine the other party’s gaze sweeping unscrupulously over Jiang He at this moment.
Su Chen couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. His gaze fell on the 【Basic Combat】, which seemed to be his only reliance.
But his peripheral vision swept over the burly figure beside him; the muscles on his chest were simply larger than his own head.
Job Appointment: Mystic Arts Apprentice?
Although I heard from others that low-tier professions don’t need to satisfy all the promotion conditions to attempt a job appointment.
Even though there are some risks, it’s not impossible to try, but where is the darkness now…
【 **Aware of the host’s current dangerous situation, the Mystic Arts Apprentice is thinking…**】
Su Chen’s gaze sharpened, the panel had more changes?
【 The wise Mystic Arts Apprentice decided to take a step back. Mystic Arts Apprentices must now meet all Profession Promotion conditions before they can be appointed to a job, thus they can receive extra rewards. 】
A few fonts gradually disappeared, what… what is this thing?
Does this profession think for itself?
Must all job appointment conditions be completed?
Aren’t you even giving me a chance to develop?
Who knows what the second promotion condition is?
A large number of questions flooded Su Chen’s mind, leaving him completely confused.
Following that, a sharp gaze instantly brought him back to his senses. The big fellow beside him stared intently at him, seemingly having noticed his recent anomaly.
Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, but the other party made no further moves.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also became increasingly anxious. If those two guys were not Professionals…
“It’s a pity, there’s no time this time, I can’t accompany Madam to have a good time…”
The short man spoke with regret, then stood up and walked to the side, extending his arm, and a green hemp rope slid out from his black sleeve.
Manipulated by an invisible force, like a nimble venomous snake, it coiled around Jiang He, slowly lifting her and placing her on the sofa.
“Rope Master…” Jiang He gritted out the words, her gaze then fell upon the burly behemoth, the despair in her eyes clearly visible: “Strongman, two professionals, who wants me dead?”
“Apologies, madam, we are professionals.” The Rope Master shrugged.
“Profession…” Jiang He’s pale face forced out an ugly laugh. “A lowly person specifically serving prostitutes, not even as good as the Strongmen over there. After undergoing Body Tempering Trials, they can at least change professions. And you? You’ll have no future in this lifetime, yet you talk about profession?”
His words are truly venomous. Su Chen had long experienced Jiang He’s venomous tongue.
He could clearly see the stiff expression on the short man’s face. Cursing both of them together might not seem like much to the other party, but undermining one while praising the other was a different matter.
At least the big fellow next to him, his head lifted up.
Wait… his heart stirred, and he quickly opened the panel.
【Discovered a First Order Middle Tier Profession—Strongman】
【 Discovered Strongman Profession Promotion Conditions — Body Tempering Trial: Break the body’s limit ten times during difficult training.】
【Promotion conditions, the second: ???】
Indeed, a new profession has appeared, but it is only Strongman, not Rope Master. It seems having just a name is not enough.
Su Chen’s heart grew more anxious. This wouldn’t work either. The Body Tempering Trial also lacked realistic conditions and simply couldn’t be completed.
【 Sensing the host’s crisis, the Strongman Profession began to think…】
Su Chen’s expression changed slightly, “No way?”
【The brave Strongman Profession decided to forge ahead, actively revealing other Job Appointment Conditions. Completing any one of them would lead to a Perfect Job Appointment. However, all other Job Appointment Conditions must be completed within one month after the Job Appointment, otherwise the profession will be erased.】
Hmm? Hmm!
Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat. As expected, the second condition for the Strongman Profession promotion was no longer a question mark.
【 Strongman Profession Promotion Condition Two: At least one body-related mastery skill. 】
Su Chen subconsciously frowned. A flesh-based mastery profession? Where would I…
No, his eyes suddenly lit up. With the gifts from his previous life, 【Basic Combat】, it should be considered a physical type, right?
“Your turn…”
Abruptly, Su Chen’s expression changed slightly. At some point, the short person had appeared beside him.
His attention was almost entirely on the mental panel just now, and he only heard the guy seem to say something like, “Madam’s spirits are good,” and “Hope she can still say such things later…”
“Quite a good skin…” the short man seemed to finally get a chance to size him up, his sinister gaze filled with malice, “No wonder you could get a transfer letter just by using your body…”
Borrowing enrollment? Isn’t it admission enrollment?
Su Chen couldn’t help but feel puzzled, but he saw that the floating green hemp rope had already passed through his sleeve and was coiling around his limbs. His body began to move uncontrollably.
“…The inferior refugees were threatened by an Academy teacher. During training, they were accidentally harmed by him. Before dying, they took the other person with them, and both perished. It should be acceptable, right…”
He rubbed his chin and said grimly, “When the Guard came in, you were lying naked on the sofa. Your family and the Academy wouldn’t publicize such a disgrace, and the case will be closed soon, right…”
The Rope Master looked at Su Chen again, a strange smile appearing on his lips: “You’re lucky, kid. You get to enjoy this beautiful body before you die, but don’t worry, I won’t let you release it. Hold it in.”
Jiang He’s face was pale, and at this moment, whether it was due to fear or something else, she stopped speaking.
And Su Chen, bound by the hemp rope, was uncontrollably led towards the sofa. Just then, the room’s lights dimmed.
The short man’s face changed drastically. He suddenly looked at Jiang He, whose face showed viciousness. He saw her mouth open.
“Roar!”
It spat out a byte it couldn’t understand, the sound not loud but seeming to come from extremely far away, piercing and sharp, fiercely smashing into the minds of the three people present.
Su Chen only felt his body relax. It was as if a steel cone had been driven into his mind, and two dull thuds and wails came from behind him.
“Go, go, gag her!” the Rope Master roared, clutching his head and hunched over as he bellowed.
And the Strongman seemed truly different. Although he also appeared to be in pain, he could still move with difficulty, walking towards Jiang He’s direction.
And Su Chen was currently lying on the ground. For some reason, he wasn’t in as much pain, and his thoughts were even clearer.
The huge shadow stepped over him; it was that big guy.
Su Chen’s mind raced, knowing that now was the perfect opportunity, and he didn’t hesitate.
【Basic Combat 】 equipped!
A strange feeling instantly eroded her entire body, as if countless ants were crawling between her bones. Her muscle fibers quietly became thicker, and her frail body underwent silent changes.
But in this situation, no one had the heart to pay attention to him.
Su Chen gritted his teeth, his pupils bloodshot, staring intently at the panel that no one else could see.
【The promotion conditions have been completed】
After the Strongman Profession, two clear characters appeared: Job Appointment!
His gaze lingered on those two words, as if sensing his resolve, the Strongman Profession suddenly dissipated, Su Chen felt his heart pound as if struck by a drum.
【Strongman Profession Job Appointment
【Gained Ability–Strength】
Following closely, a change far more intense than just now struck, muscle tissue felt as if it was torn apart and then forcefully stitched back together.
The strength his body possessed surged rapidly, but this change did not cause him to develop towards a bulky physique; instead, it made his build more proportionate.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of his heart beating echoed in his ears. The assembly of Basic Combat and the job appointment of Strongman brought about enormous changes. Furthermore, Jiang He’s peculiar influence almost overwhelmed his consciousness.
But fortunately, this change ended quickly, the pain in his body rapidly faded, and at the same time, the pain in his mind became negligible.
Before he could experience the changes in his body, he abruptly turned his head and looked at the Rope Master, who was holding his head and howling.
At the same time, the Strongman also arrived just before Jiang He, his palm heading towards her head, his eyes wide open and blood seeping from his nose and mouth.
The strange syllables abruptly vanished, and the Rope Master breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted.
“Damn it, rest assured, I will make you two die a very…” the Rope Master growled, but his face suddenly stiffened as a shadow fell over him.
His throat twitched slightly. The hemp rope that fell beside him swayed. Before he could react, he felt a hand, whose origin he didn’t know, land on his head like an iron hoop.
That sharp stinging sensation reminded him that if the other party exerted force, irreversible damage could be done to his head.
“Don’t move…” a cold voice came, the Rope Master’s body trembled, and his lowered face showed a hint of disbelief.
How… how is this possible…
“Hoo…” Su Chen slowly exhaled, his palm rotating and now beside the Rope Master.
“Old Ghost…” Just then, the Strongman also turned around. Six eyes met, filled with astonishment.
That’s right, the Strongman didn’t kill Jiang He directly. Their plan wasn’t complete yet, they just sealed her mouth.
“You…” the Strongman seemed to not react, his brow furrowed.
And Jiang He stared at Su Chen in disbelief, her line of sight having been blocked by the Strongman’s burly figure, so she hadn’t noticed what happened to Su Chen at all.
What was even more unexpected was that the other party had subdued another Rope Master in the blink of an eye.
Her previously thin upper body had become well-built and muscular, with an even distribution, and the expression on her face made her feel even more unfamiliar.
Indifferent, vigilant, and fierce.
This was something never seen on Su Chen before.
