My profession is too unique.

Chapter 134 [The Armored One] Old Xia's Past
"Could it be that this kind of offering in Yuandu is also a way to fulfill the requirements for employment?"

For a moment, Su Chen couldn't figure it out either, so he had to put it aside for the time being, "Wait for the people from Yuandu to come, try to make contact with them, and see if there's anything we can do."

According to Lao Sang, Yuandu is far from Yingfeng and requires passing through the "White Sea," a boundless white ocean that is very dangerous and home to many powerful mutant species.

It won't be possible to reach it in a short time.

"It takes this long to travel by spacecraft. This planet seems to be much bigger than Earth." Su Chen opened his bracelet and reported to Chong Jingtian that he had sent Sang Hanhai away.

The other person responded with a thumbs-up, and Su Chen, with a strange expression, went straight back to his residence.

The turmoil in the courtroom gradually subsided, but the atmosphere in Yingfeng became increasingly tense, and many people keenly sensed that there were more surveillance guards active on the streets.

Moreover, one can also see the city patrol guards and exploration guards assisting in the investigation. Their familiarity with Feng is far beyond what the court can match. In some places, some people are already under control.

They shut down a lot of black markets and arrested many people, as if they were looking for something, causing widespread panic.

Seven or eight days later, Sang Hanhai sent him a message saying that the Sacred Word Stone had finally arrived and asked him to go and take a look.

"I wonder what profession this sacred stone records..." Su Chen thought to himself as he set off.

Upon arriving at the translation office, Sang Hanhai was conducting an experiment. Seeing his hasty arrival, he couldn't help but tease him, "You really can't wait, huh? Trying to get another job for free?"

"Isn't it just curiosity?" Su Chen chuckled.

"Many professions are not necessarily useful, or rather, not very useful, or even impossible to hold," Sang Hanhai said as he put down his work and strolled out of the laboratory.

"I remember a profession where the ability to turn the water you drink blue. There might be a profession that could make more use of blue water, but unfortunately we haven't found one."

Following behind Sang Hanhai, Su Chen couldn't help but ask, "How were these professions created? And many of the job requirements are quite idealistic. What exactly is supervising them?"

Others in this world don't have a panel like him, but they also feel something after learning the requirements of a certain profession and completing them.

However, if you don't know the job information and requirements, even if you complete it without realizing it, you will be completely unaware of it. But if you learn about the relevant job requirements later, what you have done can be considered as completed, which is quite magical.

“If I had known, would I still be here?” Sang Hanhai glanced at him. “A profession is like the basic rule of the world, just like water can freeze and people can die.”

The issue of employment is outdated; no one discusses it anymore. It's not that it's worthless, but rather that there are no answers.

“I am not in charge of that Holy Word Stone; it is currently in Old Qin’s hands.” Sang Hanhai went downstairs and led Su Chen to another laboratory.

On the way, Su Chen looked up at the still-operating "Spirit Ring" in the sky and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Elder Pu Zhenghong is your senior brother?"

"I heard?" Sang Hanhai said irritably, "Didn't Xia Hanshi tell you?"

“Uh…” Su Chen hesitated, unsure how to answer.

“Heh…” Sang Hanhai sneered, “Your teacher and my senior brother are old friends.”

"But now we've broken up, and we'll never see each other again."

"Never to see each other again?" Su Chen was speechless. No wonder Old Xia was so strange when he found out that he and Sang Hanhai were involved.

"Of course, that's their business, it doesn't concern us much." Sang Hanhai changed the subject, "You don't need to take it too seriously."

I also want to figure out where the symbols on the defensive spirit ring came from. We've been cut off from each other for ages, how am I supposed to find out? Su Chen thought to himself.

"What exactly happened?" he asked tentatively.

Sang Hanhai sighed, "Those are all things of the past. Forty years ago, Xia Hanshi, Pu Zhenghong, Chong Jingtian... were all good friends."

"Xia Hanshi came from a lower-level city and went through many hardships to become a promising talent in the inner court of the court. He was witty and humorous and had a very good reputation."

Can the words "witty and humorous" really be used to describe Lao Xia?

Su Chen couldn't imagine it when he thought of that sinister old face.

Sang Hanhai stamped his foot, opened his bracelet, pulled up a picture, and projected it to Su Chen, "You've never seen your teacher when he was young, have you?"

It was a group photo of four people. The burly guy in the center was clearly Chong Jingtian. He looked much younger than he does now, standing tall and proud, his arrogance radiating from the picture.

The one on the left, chubby and round-faced with a kind, smiling face, Su Chen didn't recognize him, but he was clearly not Lao Xia.

The slender figure on the far right, with his head held high and arms crossed in front of his chest, exudes a sharp gaze beneath his disheveled hair, and can be described as spirited and confident.

“This…this is my teacher?” Su Chen pointed at the thin figure.

Sang Hanhai chuckled: "I thought you wouldn't recognize him, that he looks different now."

"Who is this woman?" Su Chen pointed to the woman standing between Chong Jingtian and Xia Hanshi. She had delicate features, black hair draped behind her head, and looked like a gentle older sister.

Interestingly, both Chong Jingtian and Xia Hanshi subtly turned their bodies towards the woman, a gesture that spoke volumes.

“Ji Rou…” Sang Hanhai’s expression turned serious. “One of the promising talents of the Inner Court back then.”

Su Chen's expression was strange. Old Xia's appearance made it difficult for him to apply certain romantic relationships to the story, but it was clearly related to it.

"...With your clever mind, you should be able to guess some things, but those are all things of the past, and I'm too lazy to mention them." Sang Hanhai put away the photos. "Back then, they discovered a ruin and found the Dome of Light within it."

"However, due to an accident, she was sealed inside the ruins."

"My teacher has been looking for someone with high talent to save her?" Su Chen thought of what Lao Xia had mentioned before and instantly understood.

“That’s right.” Sang Hanhai nodded and sighed, “My three senior brothers are all very tight-lipped about what happened there, but since then, the three of them have almost gone their separate ways.”

"Xia Hanshi has changed the most, almost completely overturning his personality, becoming aloof, cold, and ruthless."

Xia Hanshi, a poor boy from a lower-level city.

Ji Rou is an intelligent and gentle older sister.

A mature and reliable core seed – Reverence for Heaven.

Pu Zhenghong, an honest and reserved researcher

Su Chen could conjure up hundreds of thousands of words about the entanglements between these four people.

"Old Xia, I never knew you had this side to you," Su Chen muttered to himself, then asked:
"Those ruins require highly talented individuals to enter?"

“Yes, it’s a very mysterious ruin, seemingly recording some kind of powerful profession…” Sang Hanhai shook his head, “The Skylight is just one of the rewards.”

A powerful profession? Could it be a Grand Venerable? Su Chen couldn't help but think, then added:
"So, the story got back to the point where it became that Old Xia was always searching for exceptionally talented people and exploring legendary professions, which led to their downfall?"

The two had arrived at another laboratory. Upon hearing this, Sang Hanhai nodded, "That's right, but the dangers of that ruin are not unfounded."

"It is now under the joint control of the four cities, and they regularly send people to search, but they have basically found nothing."

"How did it come under the control of the Four Cities Alliance?" Su Chen asked in surprise. Wasn't it Chong Jingtian and the others who discovered it?
"This is rather complicated; it can't be explained in just a few words." Sang Hanhai led him upstairs. "Old Qin!"

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Sang Hanhai shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf," an old man said irritably as he turned around.

"Haha..." Sang Hanhai laughed, "Haven't we seen each other for a long time?"

"Su Chen?" Someone called out to him. It was Jin Yunxuan, wearing a work uniform, with a complicated expression.

"You're here too..." Su Chen was quite surprised. How come this guy is everywhere?

“Old Qin is his teacher. If he’s not here, where could he be?” Sang Hanhai turned his head to the side.

"Oh, oh..." Su Chen suddenly realized, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"It's alright..." Jin Yunxuan waved his hand repeatedly, his expression revealing a hint of ingratiation.

Because of their multiple interactions, Su Chen received far more attention than anyone else in the translation department. They knew that he had defeated Chu Xuan and was even vaguely referred to as the "top seed".

This is a high-potential candidate to become the chief judge; there are only a handful of people in the entire translation department who can afford to be indifferent to him.

"That's Su Chen..." Qin Qiyuan also looked over, his eyes scrutinizing him. "Can he really resonate with two Sacred Word Stones in succession?"

"Why would I lie to you? Your students all saw it with their own eyes. Where is the new Sacred Word Stone? Hurry up and take it out so he can try it out," Sang Hanhai urged.

Sang Hanhai's position in the translation department was second to none, so Qin Qiyuan naturally didn't say much. He opened the metal display case next to him and took out the Sacred Word Stone that had just been delivered and had not yet entered the deciphering process.

"Quick, try it!" Sang Hanhai eagerly took it and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen took it and glanced at it.

[A special profession has been discovered – the Armored Bone Warrior. You can take up this profession after completing the requirements.]

[Job requirement one: You must have held at least two top-tier physical professions.]

[Job requirement two: Without applying any defense, be attacked 10,000 times by an opponent of the same rank.]

[Job requirement three: Integration with the core of the forging ore vein]

"Armored Bone Warrior?" It sounds like a class that enhances defense. This seems to be the first time Su Chen has encountered a special class related to combat. He thought for a moment.

Special professions do not require promotion; their strength increases with the main profession. Professions that directly increase combat power are quite rare.

The job requirements are quite high; it must be a very good position.

The armored warrior arrived with overwhelming force, but upon seeing the imposing presence of the Crimson Flame Thunder Lord, he decided to lower the requirements for the position.

[The second requirement for employment is that the number of times one can be hit is reduced to one thousand.]

The number of hits has been reduced, which is acceptable...

Su Chen frowned, clutching the Sacred Word Stone tightly. Under the watchful eyes of several people, he hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I have a feeling... it's like there's some kind of forging ore..."

“It really isn’t a coincidence…” Sang Hanhai breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had already resonated with the resonance twice, he was still a little uneasy.

Qin Qiyuan stared at him suspiciously. He thought there would be some unusual scene, but it turned out to be quite ordinary.

He took the sacred stone and immediately began verifying it. A full half hour passed before he finally spoke, somewhat dazed, "It's true, there really are such people..."

“Haha…” Sang Hanhai revealed a smug look. This guy was someone he had discovered.

"Sigh..." Qin Qiyuan sighed, "With people like this around, we're all probably going to lose our jobs."

Su Chen repeatedly said, "I can only vaguely sense it, and it only plays a supporting role."

"Old Qin, I told you your mentality is wrong." Sang Hanhai said disdainfully, "We've long since stopped focusing on translating sacred stones. It takes us months to find one. Now we're translating technology and magic."

"That's true." Qin Qiyuan naturally understood, and he had already learned of Su Chen's existence from Jin Yunxuan, but the impact of seeing it with his own eyes was still greater.

Sang Hanhai then said to Su Chen, "Next, you will assist Lao Qin in deciphering the code. After you finish deciphering it, let him rate it and see if there are any professions you need to exchange."

"Hmm..." Su Chen thought for a moment, "I can't think of any specific job requirements for the time being. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Recommendations?" Sang Hanhai frowned. "You're asking me to recommend something right now? I really don't have any ideas."

"Given your current situation, it would be better to increase your career development opportunities rather than taking a specialized job."

Having more professions isn't necessarily better. Ideally, multiple professions can work together to provide various boosts. However, if they don't offer long-term benefits, it's best to focus on developing your primary profession when you're young.

"Tell me about your situation, let me think..." Qin Qiyuan began, as Sang Hanhai couldn't possibly know everything about every profession, and was only responsible for the part he deciphered.

"Don't you know his situation?" Sang Hanhai asked in surprise.

"I've heard of the name, but I haven't had time to look into the specifics," Qin Qiyuan shook his head.

"Thank you for your trouble..." Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then explained the general situation, including the type of profession and talents, but he was vague about the profession level.

"Dual professions in parallel... spirit is black jade, and body is red gold..." Qin Qiyuan pondered, "No wonder you have such a great reputation, I really do have a profession that suits you."

"Oh." Su Chen became interested.

“The Reverse Yuan One,” Qin Qiyuan said. “This profession is very special. Its main ability is to convert mental energy into physical energy, and physical energy into mental energy.”

Su Chen was taken aback, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Health bar turns into mana bar, mana bar turns into health bar, is there really such an overpowered class?
“This profession…” Sang Hanhai frowned, “Such a powerful profession, with high versatility, how come I’ve never heard of it?”

Although their respective responsibilities differ, he will certainly know about powerful professions.

"Wait, I'm not finished yet," Qin Qiyuan continued. "The difficulty of finding a job in this profession is one aspect, but there are also significant drawbacks."

"After you take the job, your physical and mental talents will be forcibly averaged to the same level."

"Furthermore, their professional abilities can only be effective when both professions are at the same level and rank."

“Aren’t you just trying to fool people?” Sang Hanhai shook his head repeatedly. “No wonder I’ve never heard of it; it’s too limited.”

When Su Chen first arrived in Yingfeng, everyone thought he was a double-red gold master, but still believed he was inferior to Chu Xuan, because talent determines one's ceiling.

Lowering your talent is equivalent to self-reducing your potential, a huge pitfall.
