My profession is too unique.

Chapter 107 Lingjingyi Wants to Wipe Out the Entire Clan?
The faceless man said quietly, "I'm also very curious why Black Tuo is in such a hurry to find him. Black Jade's talent is not enough to make Black Tuo's followers say things like 'at all costs'."

"Something big has happened in Nanfeng City. This time, Xia Hanshi actually seized a Black Tuo statue. Black Tuo has invested a lot of effort, and the reason is probably this guy."

“We can investigate slowly out of curiosity. He won’t just disappear into thin air. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” Father Pang shook his head. “I’m going to set up a banquet. We have to make it look like this.”

"But what if he comes?" the faceless man suddenly asked.

Pang's father paused, hesitatingly saying, "He wouldn't be that stupid, would he?"

……

"The Pang family invited you?"

Su Chen turned the corner, found Old Xia, and told him about the Pang family's invitation.

Xia Hanshi's eyes were cold as he sneered, "I'm not in a hurry to close the net yet, but they want to strike first."

"Close the net?" Su Chen's heart stirred slightly. "Is the Pang family also connected to the Ghost God Cult?"

“Originally, I was only 70% sure, but now I’m 90%.” Xia Hanshi glanced at Su Chen.

"Go to a place this afternoon, before five o'clock, somewhere discreet." Xia Hanshi gave him an address, which Su Chen noted down before leaving with some suspicion.

……

"Your Excellency Su Chen, the gravity training room has been installed, and it can be adjusted up to fifty times."

When Su Chen returned to his detached villa, the installation workers had already finished their work, and a gravity chamber about two meters long and three meters wide had been added to the empty basement.

It was even smaller than the gravity training room he used in the hotel.

"How many times?" Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but look at the bearded leader.

“Fifty times, that’s the highest specification,” the bearded man explained. “There’s no need to change it when the rank is upgraded in the future.”

"A one-time solution indeed," Su Chen remarked, but he also realized that this was probably Ying Feng's bottleneck. He didn't know what level it would take to withstand this kind of gravity, but Ying Feng's strongest members must have far surpassed it.

"There's this too..."

The alloy hatch slid open amidst the hum of the hydraulic system, and the bearded man led him into the gravity chamber, where a hexagonal, mottled crystal floated on a metal platform in the corner.

"This is the Spirit Realm Device, but each use cannot exceed six hours. It hasn't been fully restored yet, so I don't know if there are any other hidden dangers," the bearded man explained, then sighed.

"With the gravity chamber and this thing installed at the same time, even if it's a core seed, you're the first one."

"Understood, thank you." Su Chen nodded. The bearded man was from the logistics department. After giving him a brief explanation of how to use it, he left with his men.

After seeing the person off, Su Chen immediately went to the Spirit Realm Device and pressed the activation button.

Instantly, the crystal emitted an amber halo, and energy ripples spread through the air, creating streaks of light.

"I need to practice meditation..." Su Chen held his breath and focused his mind, practicing the Void Star Meditation Technique. He immediately felt the difference. Before even drinking the auxiliary potion, the speed of his mental energy circulation had increased significantly.

"Not bad, not bad..." Su Chen sighed more and more. This kind of good stuff can't be enjoyed without the core seed.

After emerging from the basement, Su Chen received a message from Gu Bing, inviting him to a banquet the next evening—a banquet hosted by the Gu family.

After considering it for a moment, Su Chen agreed.

"The mental support medicine will have to go to this senior sister."

I found the remaining [Illusion Essence] and inhaled it through my nose. Although the effect was somewhat reduced, it was still better than nothing.

Du Yu had already come by, but seeing that he wasn't there, he put down the clothes and left.

Just as Su Chen was preparing to train hard, someone came to visit him again.

"Jiang Xi?"

When Su Chen opened the door, he was surprised to see that it was the Nanfeng Academy student who was about to enter the Craftsmanship Department, carrying an iron box marked with a giant mechanical hammer.

"Brother Su..." he called out, sounding somewhat excited.

Although the other person was older than him, Su Chen did not correct his way of addressing him.

Otherwise, it would probably leave this guy at a loss. He glanced down at the box the other was carrying. "The craftsmanship department's mark, you went in?"

"Come in and talk."

He stepped aside to let the other person in.

Jiang Xi's Adam's apple bobbed as she explained as she walked, "There was one spot missing, but someone made arrangements beforehand and squeezed out my spot. I was already packing up to leave last night, but then the craftsmen's office suddenly sent me a message."

"They said they found out the other person cheated, so they asked me to fill in the data as a substitute, and that's how I got in."

Jiang Xi was so excited that she could hardly speak, "I have to thank you for this."

He came from a poor background and his talent wasn't even good enough to be considered a bronze-level craftsman. After joining Nanfeng, he could only diligently learn crafting knowledge.

Once he stays in Yingfeng, Nanfeng City will take care of his parents and provide them with excellent treatment.

I was already feeling disheartened yesterday, but unexpectedly things took a turn for the better.

"Oh, I see." Su Chen suddenly realized, and waved his hand, saying, "If you don't perform well, even if you're a substitute, it won't be your turn."

If it were a normal process of elimination, the craftsmen's office probably wouldn't have bothered with it, but it's different when someone is bribing officials.

If one day he suddenly remembers this colleague and casually asks him a question, who knows what trouble that might cause.

"What's this?" He looked at the box in the other person's arms, already having a vague idea.

"Oh, oh... I almost forgot." Jiang Xi hurriedly put it down and said, "This seems to be the weapon you chose. The craftsmen asked me to help deliver it."

Having completed his task, he looked somewhat flustered and nervous. "Well... I'll be going now."

“Help me…” Su Chen chuckled, but Jiang Xi stopped herself. “By the way, about the weapon upgrade question you asked about before, I inquired about it at the craftsmanship department.”

“It’s difficult to do under normal circumstances because the weapon’s tier depends on the material. If you change the material, it’s equivalent to creating a new weapon.”

"Without replacing the materials, it is impossible to upgrade. The kind of upgrade you are looking for cannot be achieved through conventional channels."

He spoke in rapid succession, like a machine gun.

"I see..." Su Chen could roughly understand. Taking the Azure Rope as an example, its material only supports the second tier. If the material is changed, what difference is there between it and a new weapon? It would be impossible to continue to control it with the secret tool.

In other words, he must achieve the weapon upgrade effect that he received as an extra reward when he was a first-tier arcane apprentice.

"I'm leaving now." Seeing that Su Chen remained silent, Jiang Xi took her leave again.

"Wait..." Su Chen called out to him, and casually took out the wine that Ming Lin had brought that morning, which was still more than half full. "Take it back and share it with your colleagues. Just say that we drank half of it."

The reason Jiang Xi was asked to help deliver the items was probably because someone wanted to see how their relationship was.

Being merely a fellow townsman is completely different from having friends who share a hometown bond.

"Thank you, Brother Su..." Jiang Xi was a little confused, but she still accepted the gift.

"If it can't be done through conventional channels, I wonder if there are any related professions that can do it..." Su Chen thought, opening the box on the ground, where a pair of black metal boots were found.

The matte black combat boots were etched with pure black patterns, each pattern absorbing the surrounding light, making the interior of the box somewhat dark. "Not bad..." Su Chen reached out and picked them up; they were quite heavy.

【Shadow Boots (Tier 3): Crafted from Shadow Gold and adorned with various engravings, these boots allow for concealment and increase speed.】

Once slipped on, the fibers in the gaps of the metal plate armor tightened instantly, making the size perfectly appropriate. The biofilm alloy on the surface gradually evolved into the style of ordinary shoes, with no trace of its original appearance visible from the outside.

A burst of electricity shot out, instantly illuminating the patterns etched on the shoe's surface. Su Chen's figure suddenly became blurry until it disappeared completely.

With a light step, Su Chen felt a blur around him and was suddenly thrown out, almost crashing into the wall.

"Ha..." He was in a good mood; it had been a long time since he had felt this uncontrollable speed.

But after a moment's reflection, his expression hardened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "The energy consumption is terrifying too. At full speed, I estimate I can't last more than ten minutes."

Weapons are just weapons. Even a Tier 1 class can use a Tier 2 weapon, but the problem lies in whether they can withstand the consumption and the reaction force.

The higher the weapon's tier, the more powerful it is, but the key is to choose one that suits your playstyle.

Su Chen is a top-tier professional, and his development progress is already 50%, which is enough for him to barely use a Tier 3 weapon.

After careful experimentation, Su Chen gradually got used to its function.

"It seems that this essence of illusion is truly going to be wasted."

Looking at the time, Su Chen shook his head. It was already afternoon, and he should go to the address Xia Hanshi had given him.

The place wasn't far from the courtroom, and it was also very close to the banquet spot Pang Xingwen had given him.

Wearing a mask he hadn't used in a long time, he changed modes of transportation several times and finally arrived at his destination two or three hours later.

It was a building that looked quite ordinary. When he arrived at the top floor, he was somewhat surprised after knocking on the door.

It turned out to be Bu Siqi, fully armed and wearing court armor.

"Senior brother?"

"Junior brother, you've finally arrived." Bu Siqi pulled him into the room, where Su Chen found judges working everywhere, surrounded by a large number of sophisticated instruments.

"This is…"

"See that?" Bu Siqi raised his hand and pointed out the glass window to a brightly lit building, his eyes filled with a chilling excitement.

"That's... the Pang family building?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow, thinking of the address Pang Xingwen had given him.

"Today, we'll wipe out their entire family." Bu Siqi grinned. "Dare to send people to track you? They're practically asking for death!"

Because you're tracking me?
Su Chen had already guessed what was going on and wasn't fooled by Bu Siqi. "Senior brother, don't tease me."

“It’s pointless.” Bu Siqi glanced at him, somewhat disappointed. “It’s not because we’re tracking you, but because our teacher found out that his family is colluding with the Ghost God Cult and is mobilizing people to wipe them out.”

"Are you really planning to wipe out the entire family?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

“I’m not kidding you about wiping out the whole family,” Bu Siqi said. “Our teacher has a deep hatred for the Ghost God Cult, and I reckon today, not a single one of them will be spared.”

"Formal procedures? Does our court have the authority to exterminate an entire family in Yingfeng City?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

“Why aren’t you excited at all?” Bu Siqi stared at him. “Of course it’s all proper procedure. If it weren’t approved by the higher-ups, the teacher wouldn’t have acted so recklessly.”

"As for wiping out the entire family in the city, that was a bit excessive, but who told them to collude with the Cult of the Demon God?"

"Why would they choose a teacher? His reputation is well-known; his methods are undoubtedly violent. Wouldn't that exacerbate the conflicts in the city?" Su Chen frowned, pondering to himself, "Did the teacher fight for this himself?"

"No, if the chief doesn't agree, the teacher probably can't do anything about it."

Su Chen suppressed his other thoughts, suddenly feeling a mixture of amusement and disbelief: "The Pang family..."

Yesterday, he was worried about whether his family was involved with the Black Tuo and whether he should hide. Today, his entire family is about to be wiped out.

Things are impermanent.

“Teacher…” The two went upstairs again, where Xia Hanshi was. He still looked like a withered old man, standing by the window, looking at another tall building not far away.

"That's the Pang family's stronghold. Today, they're hosting a banquet for you..." Xia Hanshi's tone was icy, "Everyone who's supposed to be here is here, perfect..."

"A banquet?" Bu Siqi, standing nearby, was taken aback. "Is that so?"

Xia Hanshi said calmly, "If they hadn't hosted a banquet for Su Chen, I wouldn't have planned to close the net so quickly. After all, if we're too hasty, there might be some who slip through the net."

"So there really is a reason for that..." Bu Siqi was taken aback, not expecting that the joke he had just made casually was actually close to the truth.

Xia Hanshi, with his back to everyone, said, "I went to Yunlan. Unfortunately, I found a distant relative of Pang Hui there. Following the clues of the stolen spatial crystal, I recreated the situation and stole another one."

"Sure enough, the news was not reported to Ying Feng immediately, but was first sent to Pang Hui through secret channels, but I intercepted the intelligence."

“I beat that guy up, but unfortunately he’s not a follower of the Ghost God. But I don’t need concrete evidence.”

"Based on information from previous investigations, it can be determined that the Pang family has problems."

"I see," Su Chen hesitated, "but you don't need to accept the mission of clearing out the enemy within the city, do you?"

The city is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Supervision. If Xia Hanshi acts rashly, he will likely encounter considerable trouble.

Teng Liang looked up at Su Chen, his tone indifferent: "Change your demands."

Su Chen was taken aback. Could it be because the gravity chamber and the spirit realm device were installed at the same time?

Not to the point.

"Don't overthink it. Your matter is just an extra." Xia Hanshi had already guessed what he was thinking.

"The operation is scheduled for 10 PM tonight, Bu Siqi..." Xia Hanshi gave the order.

"To!"

"You stay here with Su Chen and don't go anywhere."

"Yes!" Bu Siqi replied enthusiastically, then paused, "Stay here?"

Xia Hanshi didn't repeat himself. It was only seven o'clock, and there was still a long time before the operation. There were quite a few people coming and going from the building across the street.

Bu Siqi was disheartened and lost all interest, leaning against the wall: "Sigh... I really want to kill someone, I really want to kill someone."

He wailed, and Su Chen glanced at him frequently, quietly shifting his position.

These city operations are very secretive. People are gathered half a day in advance and dispatched one by one from all directions, arriving silently.

As night fell, more and more people arrived. He even spotted Yang Yan, who looked solemn but was still surprised to see him.

Given the current situation, he didn't come over to speak, but only gave a few glances.

“Yang Yan is a Level 4 Judge and a Level 3 Professional, yet he doesn’t even have the right to speak.” Su Chen looked at the crowd, with Yang Yan following behind a burly man.

From the brief greeting, he learned that the other person was Zhao Gang, one of the deputy directors of the Disciplinary Trial Division.

The other party didn't even dare to breathe loudly when facing Xia Hanshi.
