My profession is too unique.

Chapter 30 Unexpected Gains Part 1: The Unexpected Employment by a Big Shot Team
"Someone has disturbed Zhou Zong's body?"

Inside the tent, the wariness in Su Chen's eyes gradually faded. Looking at Hu Xiang in front of him, he had assumed that Hu Xiang had figured things out and was about to make a move.

But instead, he told him, as if he were a thief, that someone was rummaging through Zhou Zong's body.

"Yes, this is very wrong." Hu Xiang said solemnly.

Su Chen stared at him. "Two things. First, why did you come to me about this?"

"Secondly, didn't you say you were patrolling the surrounding area? How come you know so much about what's happening in the camp?"

"What does this have to do with the corpse?" Hu Xiang frowned, but seeing Su Chen's wary posture, he understood.

The young man was still worried about him, so he could only explain, "I'm looking for you because Zhou Zong's death is somewhat related to you..."

"Don't slander me." Su Chen said expressionlessly.

Hu Xiang ignored him and continued, "I originally wanted to patrol the surrounding area, but I wasn't comfortable with the area inside the camp, so I kept an eye on both sides."

Su Chen reluctantly accepted, but a thought stirred within him, and he said, "Let's go see the body."

"I brought it to you." Hu Xiang turned around and brought the body bag in from outside the tent.

Su Chen: “…”

"You go out first." Su Chen stroked his chin, unchained the body, and looked at Zhou Zong's corpse.

Hu Xiang hesitated, but seeing Su Chen staring intently at him, he had no choice but to step out of the tent.

“Go a little further away…” Su Chen called out, and Hu Xiang had no choice but to move a little further away. Then he saw that the light in the tent had gone out, plunging the tent into darkness.

"Damn, this is so weird..." he cursed under his breath.

Meanwhile, Su Chen, using his spiritual perception, was also groping around on Zhou Zong's corpse.

After a short while, he paused slightly, his eyes narrowing, "There really is one."

Taking out a knife, after a hissing sound, Su Chen tore a thin, paper-like object from the lining of Zhou Zong's clothes on the left side of his chest.

Su Chen's expression was quite interesting. This thing contained the information about the [Space Organizer], and it was also something stolen from Nanfeng Academy.

"You just brought him out like that?" Su Chen thought of many things at once.

Yuan Chenyang's oversight is very thorough; under normal circumstances, this thing shouldn't be able to get out.

However, there was an opportunity to patrol outside the city. On the day they left the city, Yuan Chenyang happened to be chasing thieves, and the person who escorted them out was Zhou Zong's father.

“Zhou Zong probably doesn’t know, otherwise he wouldn’t have been hiding until now. They also have people in the city patrol guards…” Su Chen felt that the situation was troublesome; this was clearly a whirlpool.

“But…” he murmured, “it might also be an opportunity.”

He was about to turn on the temporary lights when he looked at Zhou Zong and murmured, "But with so many students, why focus on Zhou Zong..."

As he spoke, he reached out his claws again, this time even more carefully.

"There really is something..."

Su Chen stared in surprise at the two black metal cubes in his hand.

Zhou Zong has turned into a mule.

This thing, hidden in the heel of Zhou Zong's shoe, was only the size of a fingernail, which meant it couldn't have been hidden on Zhou Zong's person so easily.

With a slight twist, the metal casing opened, and a hazy color emanated from the seam. Su Chen wrapped it in his clothes and carefully opened it.

This is a small, irregularly shaped crystal with many colors.

The panel does not provide any indication that this is not a finished product.

“This thing…” He frowned, looked at the thin sheet again, and suddenly had a guess.

Immediately open the panel, find the [Space Organizer] profession, and view the job requirements.

As expected, one of the requirements, [Spatial Crystallization], has been completed.

He just felt that since this thing was with that piece of iron, it might be something related to the [Space Organizer].

"This is a spatial crystal?" Su Chen stared intently at the crystal in his hand, unable to contain his excitement.

In this way, the most inexplicable requirement of this profession has been fulfilled?

And they came in pairs.

But after a brief moment of excitement, Su Chen realized that it wouldn't really be of any use to him even if he got it.

His father most likely knew what was hidden on Zhou Zong's person. With his son dead and the items missing, everyone would probably be searched, especially him.

"We can't just lose it, can we?" Su Chen unconsciously rubbed the metal block. "It seems like the only option is to hand it over."

He was very reluctant to part with it, not knowing when he would see it again.

[Noticing the host's intention to discard the space crystal, the space receiver is willing to give up two space crystals in exchange for the host's partial employment.]

Other job requirements can be gradually filled in as they are fulfilled.

Ok?
Looking at the pop-up panel, Su Chen paused. Partially appointed?

"Not bad, not bad. Look how considerate this person is. They're having trouble finding a job, so they're doing partial job placement first. It's reasonable to get on the train first and pay the full price later..." Su Chen grinned and praised the air several times, but there were no new notifications on the panel.

He pursed his lips, saying that normal employment only requires one, but partial employment requires two.

The two spatial crystals in his hands emitted a dazzling light, melting like ice. Subtle ripples appeared in the space as the two gradually merged and then suddenly disappeared.

[Some space organizers have successfully landed jobs and acquired professional skills—storage space: portable spaces hidden in mezzanines.]

[Other professional abilities will be unlocked after fulfilling the job requirements.]

Storage space?

Su Chen swallowed hard, carefully sensing the surroundings. His mental energy rippled, and he indeed faintly sensed a small, empty space, only one cubic meter in size, which wasn't very large.

Su Chen casually picked up the empty metal block and tried to absorb it with his mind. The metal block disappeared silently in his hand and reappeared in that small space.

"It also consumes mental energy... No wonder the job requirements require a top-tier second-tier mental skill." Su Chen sensed carefully.

"Ha...not bad, not bad." He couldn't help but grin, and even Zhou Zong, who was missing half a head on the ground, looked handsome.

After searching carefully again to make sure nothing was missed, he destroyed the shoes beyond recognition before turning on the spotlight and calling Hu Xiang in.

He glanced at the corpse on the ground; the zipper only revealed the middle of the body. Finding nothing changed, he asked, "Have you figured it out?"

"Maybe..." Su Chen replied vaguely, and Hu Xiang said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by 'maybe'?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Su Chen asked back.

Hu Xiang paused slightly, staring at him suspiciously, his heart pounding at the question.

"Never mind." He shook his head decisively.

“You better keep a close eye on the guy who's turning over his body,” Su Chen emphasized again.

Hu Xiang nodded, then asked with concern, "Is it serious?"

Su Chen said meaningfully, "It's hard to say."

Hu Xiang hesitated for a moment, then went to Tang Chen's place to strengthen the guard, while Su Chen left the tent and found Bai Fengxi.

"What's up?" Bai Fengxi came out of the tent, and Su Chen gestured towards the tent with his mouth.

Bai Fengxi hesitated for a moment, but still led Su Chen into the tent. The two sat cross-legged, very close to each other.

"I have a question for you..." Su Chen leaned closer, staring into Bai Fengxi's eyes, "What's Old Yuan like?"

Bai Fengxi's eyes shone brightly as she looked at him suspiciously. "Is it really necessary to ask me this so cautiously?"

"Yes." Su Chen replied solemnly.

Bai Fengxi remained silent, then began to narrate, "He..."

…………

In the shadows, Hu Xiang had just carefully tied Tang Chen up, even eliminating the possibility of her suicide. He turned to look at the young boy and girl who had rushed into the tent and said regretfully, "What a good girl."

He had inquired with the group of students and confirmed that Su Chen was indeed brought into Nanfeng Academy by Jiang He; it wasn't just a rumor.

He had also heard of Jiang He's reputation.

Su Chen, a ruthless man who will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder, is vividly portrayed on the page.

That girl named Bai Fengxi has probably fallen for him too; she's supposedly Yuan Chenyang's student.

How awesome.

However, he always felt that there was more to it than met the eye; otherwise, someone with Su Chen's strength wouldn't have followed Jiang He's path.

As he was pondering this, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he abruptly looked up.

In the darkness, a city guard on night watch hurried over.

He flashed and stopped the other person, asking repeatedly, "What's wrong? Another attack?"

“No, it’s not…” The patrol guard hurriedly shook his head, pointing to the darkness behind him.

As the buzzing sound drew closer, several bright, eerie blue lights pierced through the fog, and several scarlet tracked vehicles, each five or six meters tall, emerged from the mist, their slightly rusted armor plates etched with shimmering blue patterns.

Hu Xiang's brow twitched, and a sense of oppression washed over him.

At the forefront, several figures slowly approached. Hu Xiang's solemn expression turned to astonishment. "City...City Lord!?"

The group that arrived was led by Zhang Hongbo, a team of bigwigs from Nanfeng City who had rushed over as fast as they could.

“Inspector General Yuan…” He glanced over subconsciously, his expression suddenly changing drastically, and he said with difficulty, “Zhou, Zhou…Director Zhou…why are you here?”

Zhou Xian felt bewildered. Hu Xiang was even more surprised to see him than to see Zhang Hongbo. He didn't even greet the city lord, but instead asked him why he had come. Wasn't this just making Zhang Hongbo overthink things?

Why are you, a mere city patrol guard, being so respectful to me?
Hu Xiang's mind raced. Zhou Zong's body was still in Su Chen's tent, which was already difficult to deal with. Now, Zhou Xian was definitely going to keep a close eye on Su Chen.

Trouble, he lamented inwardly, wondering why these big shots had suddenly appeared.
