My profession is too unique.

Chapter 60 Su Chen: I hope Pan Yu is alright

"You could say that," Qian Hui said, his expression somewhat strange, but he seemed to agree.

"Thank you very much, Brother Qian." Su Chen said solemnly, "I will remember this kindness."

Sure enough, Qian Hui's tightly furrowed brows relaxed considerably, and he sighed, "There are quite a few people watching this place. Now that you've taken it, I won't have to offend anyone anymore."

"Your status is high enough that others can't say anything."

"Oh, right, and this too." Qian Hui opened another metal box placed to the side, which contained three vials of scarlet, viscous medicine.

"Second-tier Mist Fiend Potion, this is your weekly ration."

"Give us a few more weeks' worth, otherwise we'll have to keep running back and forth," Sun the Fat Man muttered.

Qian Hui's face darkened. "Then have the trading warehouse send over more."

"Are you kidding me? Why are you in such a hurry?" Fatty Sun shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that Qian Hui was about to hit him in anger, Su Chen quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "It's good that you come back more often, so you can learn more from Brother Qian."

After chatting for a few minutes, Su Chen and Fatty Sun left.

"Don't feel like you owe him anything. Old Qian has ripped me off quite a bit before," Fatty Sun explained after they came out.

If you feel indebted, then you owe me.

Su Chen replied sincerely, "I understand."

Fatty Sun felt relieved; communicating with Su Chen was so easy. He couldn't help but start calculating: "Hmm, I'm still missing the body-strengthening method..."

"I'll take care of the training method. As for the Gale Hunter, use the E-grade [Gale Body Tempering Method], which uses raging fire and hurricanes to scorch the body; the effect should be quite good," Fatty Sun suggested, adding:
"We only have two or three E-level training methods here, and there's no choice."

Su Chen readily agreed and followed Fatty Sun to the Internal Affairs Department, where he saw Fatty Sun retrieve the Body Tempering Method and hand it to him.

“Oh, right…” Sun Tai stopped him as he was about to leave, and took out a document. “This is the meditation method you wanted.”

Su Chen took it and glanced through it briefly. It was called "Ethereal Meditation Method," which focused on the meticulous control of mental power.

The [Chenguang Meditation Method] has long been at the master level, and has acquired an ability called [Chenyun], which enhances mental resilience.

First-tier mental attacks are basically immune.

I just mentioned it a couple of days ago, and now Sun Tai has already gotten a result.

“This is the third one already. If we want to do it again, it will probably be very troublesome…” Sun Tai rubbed his hands and said in a low voice.

"It shouldn't be necessary." Su Chen shook his head. Advancing to the [Arcane Scholar] level only requires three F-level meditation techniques, and the development progress is not much left.

"That's good." Sun Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Hongbo gave him only three days to prepare. Su Chen finished tidying up the room as soon as possible and then went with Fatty Sun to familiarize himself with the location.

Nanfeng City is very large. In addition to the patrol teams dispatched daily by the Supervision Headquarters, temporary branch offices have also been set up in the four urban districts of the east, west, south, and north to ensure a rapid response.

……

"Su Chen was transferred out of the Supervision Department to the North City Branch and became a second-tier professional."

Upon receiving the secret message from his subordinate, Zhou Xian's sinister eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at the corpse, which was almost covered in frost, a hint of grief crossing his eyes.

His own son died young, but the murderer became increasingly radiant, filling his chest with resentment.

"Pan Yu has also fallen silent; something's probably happened to him. But it wasn't the Ministry of Supervision that did it. Could it be…?"

With Pan Yu gone, all he could use in the Ministry of Supervision were low-level henchmen.

"Does this mean I really have to do it myself?" Zhou Xian stared at the corpse, still hesitant.

He had no other task but to find that "delicious soul," and if he really went all out, there was a chance.

But he wasn't sure if Su Chen knew why the artifact was empty. "Zhang Hongbo, you're using him as bait? Aren't you afraid Yuan Chenyang will come back and fight you to the death?" Zhou Xian paced back and forth in the room, his hair disheveled, his eyes sunken, looking like withered wood, his voice growing increasingly low.
.........

"Alas, these are turbulent times..."

On the way, Sun Tai, driving his hovercar, glanced at Su Chen in the rearview mirror and sighed, "Pan Yu, the deputy head of the patrol section, seems to have run into trouble."

"Deputy section chief? Something happened?" Su Chen looked surprised and quickly asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know." Fatty Sun scratched his head, one hand on the steering wheel. "He hasn't come to the Supervision Department for several days in a row. At first, we thought he was on some mission, but later no one could contact him. We went to his house, but no one was there."

"A secret mission?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

“The city lord definitely didn’t issue any orders, and it’s unlikely the minister either; Pan Yu has barely even met the minister.” He shook his head.

"Any clues?" Su Chen asked, puzzled.

“Your section chief is already investigating the situation,” Fatty Sun said in a low voice. “It’s causing panic in the department. Everyone thinks it’s the Ghost God Cult doing something behind the scenes. His safe at home is gone too. We don’t know what’s going on.”

Su Chen sighed, "I hope he's alright."

“Yes, he’s a pretty nice guy,” Sun Tai agreed.

The North City Branch was a four-story building. As a person from headquarters, appointed by the city lord, a minister's student, and a big shot with powerful connections, he naturally received a warm welcome.

After having a cordial conversation with Director Hou Xu, and expressing that he had no intention of interfering and only wanted to focus on his training,

The other party was even more enthusiastic and readily gave up their director's room without hesitation.

Hou Xu goes home every day to his wife and children, and doesn't live here.

"A five-times gravity chamber, it has everything you need." After seeing Fatty Sun off, Su Chen carefully observed the room, using his [Spiritual Perspective] to secretly check for any surveillance cameras or similar devices.

He skillfully drew the curtains again, peering through the gaps at the outside world, where people came and went, and vehicles crisscrossed the sky.

"There should be people stationed outside, right? Since they're fishing, the person holding the rod shouldn't be far away." Su Chen had an idea. "How about we bring an insurance agent over?"

Su Chen turned on the bracelet, searched for contacts, and after a few operations, finally closed it with satisfaction.

Stretching his body, Su Chen reached into his storage space and pulled out a bottle of [Mist Elixir], unsealed it, and gulped it down. The taste was somewhat spicy.

As it flowed down my throat, it made my voice slightly hoarse.

The effect was extremely obvious; the exposed skin turned bright red within seconds, and it felt like there were blades cutting inside the body.

"So intense..." Su Chen's face turned red. He took another mouthful of spiritual energy potion and hurriedly rushed into the gravity chamber. The five-fold increase in gravity almost crushed him. It took him a while to get used to it and get into the state.

As a result, once the Gale Body Forging Technique was activated, the feeling of cutting flesh became even more intense. What was originally a cold knife cutting flesh was now a high-temperature cutting knife.

Here, Su Chen didn't dare to exercise until he was completely exhausted; he stopped when he felt he had enough.

【Wind Hunter: 2%】

[Secret Tool Maker: 79%]

[E-Rank Gale Body Tempering Technique - Beginner Level: 5%]

[Level F Ethereal Meditation Method - Beginner Level: 50%]

At the second tier, both the career development speed and the body tempering method improvement speed are significantly weaker. Even with improved potion specifications and gravity chambers, it is difficult to achieve the speed of the first tier.

Thanks to the influence of the Crimson Gold-level spiritual talent, the [Secret Tool Master]'s career development rate increases much faster than that of the [Skybreaker Warrior].

The next morning, before Su Chen had even started exercising, someone rushed over to inform him that someone was looking for him.

"They really came, and so quickly?" Su Chen was quite surprised. After tidying up a bit, he went downstairs.

The first thing you see is the young man standing in the hall, with a very straight posture and a handsome appearance. He is Zhang Hengyu, the son of the city lord.
