My profession is too unique.

Chapter 13 Molten Stone Forging Method

On his way back, Su Chen kept thinking, "Although there is a blood oath, I am still at a disadvantage compared to Jiang He."

"If we can find a way to escape, or if we have someone to back us up, things will probably be much simpler... We should focus on developing him..."

"If it's revealed that I've already taken up the post... no, there are too many things that can't be explained, and that might cause even more trouble."

Jiang He acted quickly; when Su Chen arrived at the cafeteria, he found that his student ID already contained 100 gold coins.

That's not a small amount. In the past, Su Chen would only earn one gold coin after working for ten days.

But it's not much; one tube of that compressed nutrient solution costs 15 gold.

"This is too expensive... Bai Fengxi is quite reasonable..." Su Chen hesitated. This thing could only keep him from being hungry for a day or two under high-intensity training.

"Forget it, I just wanted to avoid going hungry anyway." Su Chen didn't hesitate. He paid at the counter, took the six tubes, put them in his pocket, and went straight back to his dormitory.

After drinking the nutrient solution, Su Chen first crushed the token given to him by Qi Chuan.

Then I started training right away, until I was completely exhausted. Then I focused on my mental state and pushed the intensity to the maximum. Once I was in bed, I didn't want to move an inch.

……

"He knew all along."

In the lavishly decorated room, Qi Chuan looked at the equally shattered card in his hand, a strange smile crossing his face.

"What do you plan to do... Are you really going to put him in the special training program?" A deep voice came from behind. Qi Chuan composed himself, looked at the dignified middle-aged man in front of him, and nodded slightly: "That would be giving him too much credit. He's just an inferior vagrant."

“My arrangements that day should have been foolproof. I can’t make any more plans without finding out exactly what happened. Since he probably knows, we can just arrest him and torture him severely.”

“He’s at the academy,” the other party emphasized.

"He has more than ten days left before he has to leave the city," Qi Chuan said with a smile.

"It seems you've already thought this through." The other person nodded slowly, their voice gradually becoming serious: "Handle it as soon as possible. Nanfeng only has one spot per year, and it will be confirmed in six months. I don't want any accidents to happen."

"Don't worry..." Qi Chuan said hurriedly.

……

Three days passed in a flash. Su Chen had already crushed the token given to him by Qi Chuan, but the other party still hadn't come looking for him.

"I only need to pay off my loan four more times..." Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the payment panel.

【Lux: 6%】

[Candlelight Spirit Training Method - Mastery: 25%]

The requirement for the "Scholar" position is only one year left. It is estimated that Su Chen will be able to take up this special job in a few more days.

“There are less than ten days left before we leave the city…” Su Chen calculated the days. “What does the aggrieved party mean? Are they just going to abandon us like this, or…”

Boom!Boom!Boom!
A knock came at the door, much to Su Chen's surprise. What a coincidence! Speak of the devil and he appears.
The person knocking on the door looked somewhat familiar to Su Chen; he had his head slightly raised and a presentable appearance.

"Is someone looking for me down here?" he asked tentatively.

Zhou Zong frowned slightly and emphasized, "I'm looking for you."

"You?" Su Chen was surprised and looked the other person up and down carefully. "Have we met somewhere before?"

Zhou Zong said calmly, "I've seen your file. You're an inferior vagrant who only got into Nanfeng Academy by luck getting into Jiang He's bed."

"How long do you think Jiang He's novelty towards you will last?"

"Oh, I remember now, you know Bai Fengxi, right?" Su Chen suddenly remembered.

It seems he's not from Qichuan after all. What's this guy doing here?
Zhou Zongping said gently, "Won't you invite me in for a seat?"

"The room is messy, so let's talk here." Su Chen shook his head.

Zhou Zong was displeased. "I'm here to give you a chance."

"What opportunity?" Su Chen looked at him.

“A real chance to turn things around,” Zhou Zong smiled. “Just tell me everything about Bai Fengxi, down to the last detail…”

boom!
The door slammed shut, Zhou Zong's smile froze on his face, and he could still faintly hear the other person's voice—"...Where did this idiot come from..."

Zhou Zong's forehead veins bulged, and his face was ashen.

"Someone's after Bai Fengxi?" Su Chen muttered to himself. "Does he want to woo her, or is he trying to scheme against her?" "Never mind, I'll tell her when I run into her."

Su Chen didn't take it too seriously, continuing to plan the victim's situation while continuing his training.

In the late afternoon, there was another knock on the door, this time it was Jiang He.

"Isn't this the boys' dormitory?" Su Chen welcomed her in, still dressed in a sexy teacher's outfit.

"Who here doesn't welcome me?" Jiang He retorted, glancing around the room before casually sitting on the bed with his legs crossed. "Did Qi Chuan come looking for you?"

"Not yet." Su Chen shook his head.

“It’s been three days already.” Jiang He looked at Su Chen with suspicion.

"The keepsake was crushed long ago." Su Chen took out the card wrapped in a tissue.

“A letter…” Jiang He nodded, but then asked, puzzled, “If that’s the case, why hasn’t he come yet? Is something holding him up?”

"I don't know." Su Chen shook his head, but simply held out his hand. "This is what I want."

Jiang He hesitated for a moment, then took out a thin book from his small bag and handed it to Su Chen. "The F-level training method is enough for you."

The words "[Stone Refining Method]" on the cover made Su Chen's heart skip a beat.

The training methods range from low to high, using standards such as F and E. Although it is the lowest level, it is indeed used by professionals.

Like [Candlelight], it doesn't even qualify for any rank.

"Wait for him to contact you." Jiang He was about to leave when Su Chen stopped him and said, "Top up some more money."

He spoke with such self-righteousness that Jiang He retorted irritably, "You've become addicted to living off a woman? I'll top up another 100; if you run out of money, figure it out yourself."

"Or, beg me?" Jiang He suddenly smiled charmingly.

"Please, I beg you." Su Chen said expressionlessly.

Jiang He's face stiffened slightly, and he said coldly, "This is meaningless."

Instead of returning to her office, she walked out of the school, facing the stares of passersby, and headed deeper into the city.

……

"Father..." Jiang He asked the white-haired old man in front of him with a puzzled look, "Qi Chuan has not looked for Su Chen since then, what do you think is going on?"

The old man's face was deeply lined with wrinkles, but he was still very spry. His eyes flickered slightly. "You haven't looked for him?"

After a brief silence, he couldn't help but praise, "He truly is my good son-in-law. We tried to seduce him, but he's the one who seduces us instead."

"What do you mean?" Jiang He asked, puzzled.

"In Qi Chuan's opinion, what kind of person is Su Chen?" the old man asked in return.

Jiang He didn't react for a moment, but the old man slowly narrated: "An inferior vagrant, a lucky guy who managed to climb up to his wife, and perhaps a little smart, that's all."

"For someone like that, if he wants to know something from the other person, how could he possibly put them on the list of people to be given special attention? As long as we're sure they have something to say, taking action is the simplest and most direct way."

"Su Chen will be leaving the city in ten days."

Jiang He pondered for a moment before realizing what he meant, his expression turning slightly cold. "He had planned this all along; the previous contact was just a test."

"Then...then what I gave Su Chen was given to him for nothing."

The old man sighed, "Don't dwell on those things. The problem right now is that Su Chen is leaving the city, and there's no way to stop him. Your blood oath contract hasn't been broken yet. You need to advance to the level of a mystic scholar as soon as possible within ten days."

Jiang He's face paled, but he said, "But Qi Chuan doesn't know that Su Chen is already a strongman."

The old man shook his head. "He's just a first-tier warrior. Given Qi Chuan's personality, he'll probably make multiple plans."

He paused, then added, "However, this might not be a bad opportunity."

.........

In his dormitory, Su Chen was pondering the [Stone Forging Method].

This exercise method is not profound; it simply uses a special technique to make blood circulate at high speed, thereby stimulating the internal body and achieving the effect of strengthening the body.
