My profession is too unique.

Chapter 93 The Secret of Wise Men and Scholars
"Evolved?" Su Chen scanned the large amount of information in front of him. Not only had it evolved, but it had also made a double leap, reaching the level of a priest.

Unlike sequential professions, special professions do not have clear distinctions such as first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier, because they generally do not involve strength enhancement.

However, some special professions can also be promoted, which highlights the increased intensity of the profession.

Ordinary believers are cannon fodder, but fanatics are different. They not only have a certain status in the cult of the supernatural, but can also use the power of ghosts and gods to further strengthen themselves.

The priests, needless to say, held an even more revered position and even had the power of life and death over their followers.

"Huh... how did I get here?" Zhao Hong suddenly realized that Su Chen was standing in front of him.

"Section Chief Su?" he called out hesitantly.

"I was about to ask you that too?" Su Chen snapped out of his daze, looking equally puzzled.

"Oh no, it's that thing!" Zhao Hong's expression changed drastically. He didn't even have time to explain before rushing to the upper level.

"He's become a priest now, which means he's a high-ranking member of the Black Buddha's followers..." Su Chen closed the door and speculated, "Corrupted consciousness... probably something hidden inside that Black Buddha statue."

"That's really weird." Su Chen reminded himself to be more vigilant about everything related to the Ghost God in the future.

This kind of insidious erosion can't harm him, but Black Tuo and his followers certainly have the ability to kill him outright.

"This Black Tortoise is probably targeting me. Let's see if there's anything else inside that statue." Su Chen hesitated for a moment, locked the door, and tried to transform into a Black Tortoise priest.

As his hair fell away, his eyes gradually turned pitch black, a vertical slit appeared in his pupils, black lines spread across his cheeks, and a black vertical pupil condensed on the top of his head.

He exuded an eerie aura, and the surrounding air rippled.

"If Old Xia saw this, he'd probably turn on me immediately." Su Chen looked at himself in the mirror, carefully contemplating: "My sensory range has expanded, but no knowledge has surfaced in my mind..."

Perhaps because it was a "disguise," Su Chen did not gain the ability to communicate with Hei Tuo.

But inside the spaceship, there was no longer that attraction for him.

"The black statue is now truly clean."

He was certain that the corrupting consciousness was its remnant. A commotion came from outside. Su Chen removed his disguise, opened the door, and found the corridor filled with people.

"What's going on?" Su Chen noticed Du Yu and pulled him over to ask.

"I don't know. The two special envoys issued an order that everyone should not stay in their rooms and should be able to see each other." Du Yu didn't understand either.

It must have been the report from the surveillance guard that made Yang Yan and Gu Bing wary, Su Chen understood.

"Are you alright..." Yang Yan and Gu Bing rushed over and asked Su Chen if he was alright.

They were startled to learn from Zhao Hong's report that he had inexplicably appeared in front of Su Chen's door.

If Su Chen gets into any trouble, Xia Hanshi will skin them alive when he gets back.

After finding that Zhao Hong was fine, they went to check on Su Chen.

After carefully examining him for several hours, the two men seemed to have confirmed that there were no problems before letting him go home.

This little incident caused a great deal of anxiety, but Su Chen was completely at ease. He took out the small metal box that Yuan Chenyang had given him before he boarded the ship from the luggage compartment.

drop--
After a simple fingerprint verification, a chilling white mist poured out from the opened crack in all directions, neatly arranged with Mist Elixir and Illusion Essence.

Su Chen roughly counted them; there were fifty tubes in total, enough for him to use until Yingfeng. He couldn't help but sigh, "Old Yuan, you're so generous."

Unfortunately, there is a fixed quota for Glazed Blood every month, and even if Old Yuan could squeeze out too much at once, he would find it difficult. He had already drunk more than ten tubes.

Even at the second tier, it could increase his development efficiency by 25%-30%. He licked his lips, feeling a little nostalgic.

These personal items were stored away in the storage space. Although there was no gravity training room on the ship, the exercise still had to be done, even if the efficiency was reduced.

……

Boom!

A few days later, the spaceship shook, and Gu Bing's gentle voice came over the loudspeaker: "Everyone, we have arrived at the ruins. We will not stay here for more than half an hour. If you want to go out and take a look, please do so as soon as possible."

"Ruins?" Su Chen was also very curious. After tidying up his room, he saw others walking in the corridor, discussing it enthusiastically, clearly wanting to go out and take a look as well.

"Old Su..." Du Yu greeted him.

“Su…” Zhang Hengyu also walked over. Before he could say “brother,” he saw his smiling father in front of him and could only awkwardly call him “Uncle Su.”

Zhang Yunqing lagged a few steps behind, really not wanting to bump into Su Chen.

"Ruins! I've never seen them in person before." Du Yu was quite excited, rubbing his hands together incessantly.

As soon as everyone reached the gangway, Su Chen heard a series of exclamations coming from ahead.

Looking up, his expression changed. In the distance, a huge mechanical fortress was clearly visible, dome-shaped, its metal shell gleaming coldly under the illumination of the surrounding spotlights.

The exposed metal structure occasionally crackled with electric arcs, and smoke and metal debris rose from all around.

"This is the ruins..." Su Chen murmured. Could such a huge mechanical fortress really be built on this planet?
"These are mechanical relics, there are also mystical and biological relics..." Zhang Hongbo appeared out of nowhere and explained to him.

"The mechanical side is probably a ruin that produces some rare technologies, such as firearms, and maybe even formulas for advanced medicines..." "I see." Su Chen's gaze was fixed on the exposed metal structure on the ground.

"Why are you here just now?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Su Chen subconsciously turned his head, surprised: "Teacher, what are you doing here?"

The crowd dispersed, creating a no-man's-land around Xia Hanshi.

"I happened to be passing by when I discovered there was another riot here, so I took action to suppress it," Xia Hanshi said calmly.

"Why don't you explore it? It shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Su Chen asked curiously.

Xia Hanshi shook his head: "It's not that simple. Exploration is not destruction. If it is a formal exploration, a large number of people need to be sent to advance step by step. It would take three to six months to fully understand this ruin."

Zhang Hongbo has gone down to meet up with Feng Chang, who has been stationed here.

He was the patrol minister, and in principle, he should have been rotated out long ago, but Yuan Chenyang was urgently transferred, so he had no choice but to stay here.

He was clearly surprised when he first saw Zhang Hongbo.

The two were talking about something, and the seemingly calm city patrol minister, who was startled and flustered, finally froze and stared blankly at them.

"Teacher, wait..." Su Chen saw that Xia Hanshi was also about to leave, so he hurriedly called out to him. Last time, Old Xia left too decisively, and there were still some things he hadn't asked.

"What's wrong?" Xia Hanshi asked.

Su Chen pondered, "Does Yingfeng have any professions similar to 'scholar' or 'wise man'?"

"Scholar? Wise man?"

Xia Hanshi's nonchalant expression suddenly froze. He turned around abruptly, his eyes gleaming, and his slightly muffled voice suppressed a certain expectation.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Su Chen sensed that Old Xia was acting a bit strange, but didn't think much of it and said matter-of-factly, "This kind of special profession can increase training efficiency, so I wanted to ask if there are any similar..."

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of intense flames suddenly erupted from Old Xia's body, causing those who hadn't yet left the gangway to sway left and right, almost falling over.

Before Su Chen could react, everything blurred before his eyes, and he was back in his room. Xia Hanshi looked at him with burning eyes: "You... you've already taken up these two jobs?"

"Hmm." Su Chen nodded cautiously, realizing that something was amiss.

"I should have thought of that... I can't believe I didn't ask you." Xia Hanshi murmured. He knew that Su Chen had accessed the relevant information about the [Scholar] as early as when he first arrived in Nanfeng City.

He was well aware of the difficulty of finding this job, and at Su Chen's age, it was almost impossible for him to do so, so he eventually put it out of his mind.

"What's wrong?" Su Chen asked, puzzled.

"Was it a forced appointment? A normal appointment? Or a perfect appointment?" Xia Hanshi didn't answer, but instead pressed for an answer.

“Uh…” Su Chen’s words trailed off again: “They were all forced to take up their posts, I was just lucky.”

“Forced employment… that’s not bad either.” Xia Hanshi wasn’t surprised, his expression complicated: “No wonder no one noticed your talent before, it must have been improved again, you’re lucky.”

"Are there secrets behind these two professions?" Su Chen asked again.

“Not bad…” Xia Hanshi nodded and said in a deep voice, “These professions are extremely rare, and almost everyone tries to take them, but the difficulty is extremely high.”

"Moreover, they seem to be a series, or even prerequisites for a certain profession," Xia Hanshi said. "Ying Feng has been researching this, but he doesn't have much information yet."

A series? Prerequisites? Su Chen felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Xia Ganshi pondered: "Scholars are the first to be discovered, and the conditions for employment are quite demanding. Wise men require a high level of talent. A few months ago, the translation department deciphered the sage... but I don't know the specific information."

"You didn't know?" Su Chen couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"I'm not omnipotent," Xia Hanshi said coldly. "After the translation department deciphered it, it was shelved. Many people were curious and wanted to see it, but they were all rejected."

"The Translation Department... is that amazing?" Su Chen asked in surprise.

“No one wants to offend the Translation Department easily,” Xia Hanshi explained to him, and Su Chen gradually understood.

The Translation Office was another important institution in Ying Fengzhong. It was small in number, directly under the jurisdiction of the Council of Elders, and held a very prestigious position.

Specializing in deciphering sacred stones excavated from ruins and translating ancient languages.

More than 70% of the professions that Ying Feng was proficient in were deciphered by the Translation Department.

Even a single misspelled word can lead to a series of problems.

Furthermore, they possess the most original texts of the profession, and some promotion requirements need to be specifically adapted to the current era.

Even when Lao Xia was promoted, he made a special trip to the Translation Department to conduct a detailed study on the profession he was promoted to.

He discovered many hidden details, which greatly increased his chances of promotion.

"There are actually places like this..." Su Chen's expression was strange.
