My profession is too unique.

Chapter 41 The Assassination of the Second Generation in Nanfeng City!

I was going to ask where it came from, but the words that came out were: "You want to sell this?"

"Hmm." Su Chen smiled shyly and said, "I don't know where the black market is, and I'm young, so I'm afraid of being scammed."

"If it's not too much trouble, once we've sold out, please help me buy some Black Flame Potions."

"They're putting on quite a show," Fatty Sun thought to himself, then pondered for a moment and said, "If you need the potion, don't sell it on the black market. Just consider it something you seized."

"For handing over seized items, you can get 50% of the market price as internal supervisory points, but this stuff is contraband and doesn't have a normal market price. I can raise the price a bit for you."

"Medicinal auxiliary items can be redeemed with internal monitoring points at half the market price, and it's also considered a small contribution."

"Two ways to cook one fish," Su Chen understood the logic after hearing this and immediately felt respect. "Thank you for your help, Brother Sun."

"It's nothing, I've taken care of it for you." Fatty Sun left with a smile.

After becoming Yuan Chenyang's student, everything seemed different.

Su Chen sighed inwardly, rested briefly, and when it was almost time, went out and headed towards the location on the invitation.

Qing'an Hotel is located in the center of Nanfeng City, almost directly under an artificial light source.

Although it was evening, the lights were still on, and private floating cars of various designs came and went, with passengers dressed in fine clothes getting off.

Su Chen arrived downstairs in a special car from the Ministry of Supervision. Looking up, what came into view was an artificial light source suspended in the sky.

This thing is scientifically called "Dome Light". Nanfeng City does not have the technical capability to manufacture it, so it comes from Yingfeng.

Based on his limited understanding, many of Nanfeng City's technologies originated from Yingfeng, an incredibly vast megacity that ruled over Nanfeng City and other cities similar to Nanfeng City.

After handing over the invitation, a waiter greeted him and led him upstairs. The banquet was held in a private room. As soon as he opened the door, he could hear soft music. There were already quite a few people there, all of them young.

As the door opened, their conversation abruptly ceased, their gazes sweeping over, filled with inquiry, bewilderment, and astonishment…

"So it's Lord Su Chen..." someone suddenly spoke up, enthusiastically crowding around, while introducing him to the others, "This is Inspector Yuan's new student. He was ordered to infiltrate, retrieve the stolen Sacred Word Stone, and slaughter the Azure Scale Lion pack."

Some people suddenly realized, some were indifferent, and some were even more surprised.

They were familiar with this name; almost everyone present knew it. Zhou Zongcai had only been dead for a short time.

Despite their differing thoughts, they still introduced themselves one after another. Yuan Chenyang's students were qualified to be listed alongside them.

"...Shi Haoqiang..."

"The second son of the Deputy Minister of the Exploration Department..."

"...Zhu Mingxu..."

"The eldest son of Minister Zhu, the city patrol officer..."

“…Tian Lan…”

"The third daughter of Deputy Director Tian of the Research Department..."

As each of these people came up, the guy next to him whispered his background to him.

After he introduced himself, the group dispersed, and no one talked to him except for the guy next to him.

“I haven’t introduced myself yet, Du Yu…” He had a buzz cut and sharp eyebrows, and said in a low voice, “My father is one of the vice ministers of the supervisory department, and also an old subordinate of Minister Yuan.”

Oh... judging from the background, they should be one of our own, Su Chen suddenly realized.

"Don't worry about it, these people aren't very familiar with you either," Du Yu said.

The reason for this is that everyone else was gathered in twos and threes, while their side was quite deserted.

Su Chen didn't care. These second-generation rich kids were all of high status, and some of their fathers were even on par with Lao Yuan. There was no need for him to be overly enthusiastic.

His mindset was quite stable... Du Yu looked at him with considerable surprise, but what he didn't say was that this indifference was partly due to Su Chen's status as a refugee.

People gradually arrived, and the two found a corner to stay in.

"It tastes good...this meat is quite tender..." Su Chen kept savoring the food. Since his transmigration, the best meal he had ever eaten was the one he had at Jiang He's house that day.

Every now and then, he would receive a veiled glance and secretly shake his head.

The atmosphere at the banquet remained peaceful until --
"Hengyu is here!"

Someone shouted, and the indifference on the faces of this group seemed to fade. They quickly walked towards the gate, smiles on their faces.

“Zhang Hengyu…” Su Chen couldn’t help but look over to see this talented young man who had taken the blame for him twice.

He did resemble the city lord by about five or six points, but he seemed to have a cold personality, expressionless, and his eyes darted around.

Behind him stood a tall woman with a gentle smile, fiery red lips, and alluring eyes.

Gudong!

Su Chen could clearly hear the sound of swallowing saliva coming from the side.

Meeting Su Chen's slightly meaningful gaze, Du Yu gave an awkward smile and hurriedly explained, "This is Zhang Yunqing. She has a terrible personality, and we've all been dealt with by her."

"Of course, this kind of older sister was also very attractive to us back then."

“However…” Du Yu changed the subject again, pretending to be deep in thought, “She went to Yingfeng a long time ago, and then suddenly came back four months ago. I don’t know what she’s doing.”

The arrival of Zhang Hengyu and Zhang Yunqing seemed to give the banquet a focal point, with everyone gathering around them.

Zhang Hengyu was not used to it, but Zhang Yunqing was very comfortable and would occasionally tell interesting stories, creating a great atmosphere.

As the conversation deepened, Zhang Yunqing mentioned Ying Feng, and Su Chen listened attentively.

The difference between the lower class and this group is not just a little wealth, a little power, or a little talent.

Many of the things Zhang Yunqing mentioned were completely unknown to Su Chen.

He was even unaware of many of the things this group had discussed before.

For example, a top-tier first-class profession.

Su Chen then realized that even Ying Feng, a top-tier first-order profession, was extremely rare, with no more than five in fact. Each one was strictly controlled and could only be obtained after going through multiple rounds of screening.

However, at the second tier, they did not become even rarer; in fact, they became more numerous. But at the third tier, they became rare again.

“The first stage is the beginning of a career, which is equivalent to refining one’s skills within a limited scope, and it is extremely difficult,” Zhang Yunqing explained. “At the second and third stages, the stage is much larger, and it is easier to become a top player.” “However, this ease is relative.”

"No wonder Old Yuan reacted that way back then..." Su Chen clicked his tongue. If the source of the top profession hadn't been planted in Yuan Chenyang, it would have been a lot of trouble.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but while he was talking about this, Zhang Yunqing kept glancing at him.

“But within a certain tier, don’t overly pursue the top. I’ve seen quite a few talented guys strive for those top professions.” Zhang Yunqing revealed a sorrowful expression, “but they died because of the promotion requirements.”

"Top-tier professions are powerful, but their difficulty level is almost double that of higher-tier professions."

Su Chen wholeheartedly agreed, having nearly died inside when he became a secret tool maker.

She couldn't help but emphasize: "Moreover, no matter how powerful the next level of profession is, it is very difficult to defeat the ordinary profession of the previous level."

"Is Zhang Hengyu sick?" Su Chen turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Why is he staring at me like that?"

Du Yu was currently immersed in his older sister's gentle guidance when he heard this. He looked over and then grinned, "He's just curious."

“I heard from my father that if it weren’t for your status as a refugee, you might not have been able to go to Yingfeng this time.”

"He's a bit stubborn, and this kind of victory is hard for him to accept. I reckon he definitely wants to defeat you head-on to prove himself."

"You guys found out too?" Su Chen asked in surprise.

Du Yu waved his hand and explained, "It's only limited to the upper echelons, don't worry... Since the city lord has already agreed, no one will dare to provoke him."

"Doesn't he know that I wiped out the entire Blue Scale Lion pack except for the leader?" Su Chen asked rhetorically.

"Is this true?" Du Yu asked in astonishment.

Su Chen remained silent.

Du Yu looked at him in surprise and explained, "The rumors outside are too exaggerated. They say you wiped out the entire pride of lions in less than a minute, and even the leader was scared away. Only a second-tier professional would have that kind of strength."

Su Chen understood that there were many witnesses at the time, but the rumors spread by word of mouth weakened the authenticity of the story.

I doubt many of these people actually believe it.

"Congratulations to Hengyu on his successful business in Yingfeng..." Zhang Yunqing raised his glass, and everyone else offered their congratulations as well. Waiters moved through the crowd, serving drinks.

Su Chen and Du Yu didn't stand out either, casually picking up wine glasses from the waiters beside them.

But as soon as the two raised their hands, Su Chen's expression changed slightly, and he grabbed Du Yu with his left hand.

He was stunned and hadn't even reacted when he felt a tremendous force strike him, his vision spun, and he was sent flying backward.

At the same time, Su Chen raised his right hand, and silently, the cyan-gold metal wire had already wrapped around his arm.

档！
Sparks flew as the waiter beside him pulled a slender, eerie green dagger from under the metal tray and thrust it straight at him.

At the same time, a waiter on the opposite side also launched an attack.

"You're courting death!" A fierce glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes, and his mental piercing locked onto his target.

The attacker, who was facing him head-on, froze on the spot after a moment's hesitation.

With a burst of power from his waist, Su Chen turned around and threw a punch.

boom!
With a muffled thud of bones cracking, the attacker's chest caved in, his eyes bulged out, and he immediately fell silent.

A thin metal wire detached from the arm, wrapped around the dagger, and with a sudden tug, it shot out like a dart, striking the attacker's head with the hilt of the knife.

boom!
The man fell backward, blood gushing from his forehead.

Su Chen's actions happened almost in the blink of an eye. By the time Du Yu reacted, he only saw two corpses lying on the ground.

"Assassin!?" He was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock.

As a fellow first-tier professional, he barely had time to react.

The others turned around in bewilderment, staring at Su Chen's bleeding arm and the corpse on the ground, and were horrified.

Zhang Hengyu's pupils contracted slightly, while Zhang Yunqing's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

Whoosh--
A shadow suddenly darted out from behind the curtains not far away, like a venomous snake, silent and lurking for a long time, just for a fatal blow.

The speed was so fast that Su Chen could barely react.

"A second-tier professional!" That was the only thought in his mind.

However, even faster than his thoughts were the figure of the assassin flying backward.

boom!
The person was embedded in the wall, blood trickling from the corner of their mouth.

Su Chen looked at the figure blocking his way; the figure had a shiny bald head.

I knew it… He secretly grimaced, but still excitedly shouted, “Teacher!”

"Black Tuo will watch over you forever!" The figure embedded in the wall roared, its pupils bloodshot as it stared intently at Su Chen. "You ruined Black Tuo's plans. Black Tuo will not let you go. Prepare to die."

He let out a maniacal laugh, blood gushing from his pupils, his body convulsing, and gradually fell silent.

boom!
The banquet hall doors were suddenly opened, and fully armed guards quickly entered and collected the bodies.

"This one is still alive," the guard reported. It was the same guy who had been struck in the head by the hilt of the dagger earlier.

“Oh…” Yuan Chenyang glanced at it, “Take him back for questioning.”

Only then did the others realize what was happening.

"Chief Inspector Yuan, what's this?" Zhang Yunqing stepped forward to ask, his gaze sweeping over Su Chen with displeasure.

"Nothing, just an assassination attempt." Yuan Chenyang said expressionlessly.

Assassination...that's all?

Everyone looked at Su Chen with complicated expressions. Judging from the position where the body had fallen, they knew that it had been extremely dangerous.

But Su Chen dealt with the two guys before they even turned their heads. His reaction and decisiveness were astonishing, and he seemed completely unconcerned.

Are all refugees this fierce?
