My Professions Have Too Much Personality

Chapter 104: Chapter 97: Profession Analysis: The Sealed [Saint]

“Tier Two… Kid, you’re not messing with me, are you?” Sang Hanhai stood up and walked over to the Holy Word Stone.

“Of course not,” Su Chen said, his expression serious. Sang Hanhai began to verify it again.

Working backward from a known answer made the process much simpler. In just over half an hour, Sang Hanhai had verified the result. He stared at Su Chen as if he’d seen a ghost. “It really is Tier Two… This…”

“What’s wrong?” Su Chen asked, feeling a little unnerved as he saw the deep frown on Sang Hanhai’s face.

“The last Celestial-Appointed Translator I met wasn’t quite like you,” Sang Hanhai couldn’t help but say.

“How were they different?” Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Sang Hanhai thought for a long time before saying, “I forgot.”

Su Chen was speechless. The other staff members, who had been watching with anticipation, all lowered their heads in disappointment.

Sang Hanhai explained helplessly, “That was decades ago. I was just an apprentice back then.”

“Still, managing to decipher it this early is not a bad thing.”

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had revealed he was Tier Two, he didn’t elaborate further. Instead, he just made small talk with Sang Hanhai to build a better rapport.

They even had lunch together, and Su Chen didn’t leave until mid-afternoon.

When he learned Su Chen had a dinner to attend that evening, Sang Hanhai even arranged for a driver to take him.

’Gale and Thunder Envoy…’

Sitting in the back seat, Su Chen mused. That should be a very suitable prerequisite for the [Wind and Thunder Envoy] class.

’I can only get it by joining the Judicial Court, but there’s no rush. My own progress is only just halfway there.’

The gathering was at a place called Baisheng Building, which was not nearby. Its exterior looked quite luxurious, and there was a lot of foot traffic.

Su Chen saw the driver off, glanced at his virtual screen, and muttered, “Room 1406…”

Led by a waiter, he arrived at the private room. Quite a few people were already there, including Du Yu and his group, as well as people from Southwind Academy.

The room fell noticeably quiet upon his arrival.

“Brother Su, you’re finally here! Sit… sit…” Du Yu stood up and greeted him enthusiastically.

Zhang Yunqing was sitting in the host’s seat, wearing a pair of silver earrings and dressed very sharply.

She was the organizer of this gathering. Seeing Su Chen, she felt a bit awkward, but still stood up and offered him a seat.

Su Chen waved his hand dismissively, casually sat down next to Du Yu, and listened quietly to the others’ discussion.

“…The Engraving Department’s requirements have gone up a lot this year. You need to achieve over ninety percent completion on a basic engraving within thirty minutes. I think that’s going to be tough…”

“Yeah… it’s the same for the Craftsmanship Department. The material properties knowledge requirement is over seventy percent now. The difficulty has increased a lot.”

“The recruitment requirements for all of Yingfeng City’s organizations have been getting higher and higher these years. It’s probably because more and more people are coming from the subordinate cities…”

Everyone sighed and lamented. Making it to Yingfeng City didn’t guarantee they could stay.

To prevent the subordinate cities from wasting too many resources, the recruitment periods for all of Yingfeng City’s major organizations were set within the same month.

They had arrived early, so they could ask around in advance, but none of them were in high spirits.

“The Craftsmanship Department?” Su Chen’s interest was piqued. “Is that the place that forges weapons?”

The one who had spoken was a student from Southwind Academy—Jiang Xi. Although he was two years older than Su Chen, he was still a bit flustered and felt a sliver of honor when Su Chen looked at him.

“Yes, yes… It’s under the Resources Department. Its main purpose is to research and forge weapons,” he explained.

“Can they upgrade weapons? For example, raising a Tier One Weapon to Tier Two,” Su Chen asked. As his Tier increased, the Secret Artifacts he controlled would definitely not be able to keep up with his growth trajectory.

But he couldn’t change the Secret Artifacts he controlled, so his only option was to find a way to upgrade them.

“Upgrade?” He hesitated, then said awkwardly, “I haven’t been accepted yet, so there are some things I don’t know.”

“Then I wish you success in getting selected,” Su Chen said, raising his glass in a toast. The other man hastily raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.

“Brother Su, why are you living so far away, all the way out in North City?” Du Yu exclaimed.

He had asked for Su Chen’s address, wanting to connect more often, but they lived too far apart. A single trip would take the better part of a day.

“It’s closer to the Translation Department…” Su Chen replied casually.

“The… Trans… lation… Department?” Du Yu’s expression changed. He couldn’t help but ask, “You can go in and out of the Translation Department?”

The discussions at the dinner table gradually died down. Everyone’s eyes turned toward him. Even though they had only been in Yingfeng City for a day, they already had a general understanding of the place.

They naturally knew that the Translation Department was a transcendent existence, the source of nearly all professions in Ying Feng.

Zhang Yunqing also couldn’t help but look over, an indescribable ripple in her eyes.

’The Translation Department… Su Chen only went with Yang Yan to deliver the Holy Word Stone. How is it that he can come and go from the Translation Department now?’

Only then did Su Chen realize his slip. “I’m just helping out temporarily,” he explained. “I’m not an official member.”

“Even temporary is enough!” Du Yu said with envy. The others wore complex expressions, their hearts filled with a bitter jealousy they couldn’t voice, but they didn’t dare to show it.

“Sister Yunqing, in this Judicial Court assessment, was there really someone with an Ink Jade Level Talent?” someone asked.

Everyone’s gaze immediately turned to Zhang Yunqing. She hesitated for a moment before nodding. “That’s right. This person’s identity is confidential, so I don’t know much, but they do exist. They have already been taken in by the Fourth Chief Judge.”

Zhang Yunqing then said softly, “In any case, I wish you all success in being able to stay in Ying Feng.”

Everyone raised their glasses one after another. Amidst the clinking of glasses, only a sense of expectation remained.

After three rounds of drinks, Du Yu lowered his voice and said, “Old Su, I heard Jiang He is here too.”

“Jiang He?” Su Chen froze, his gaze shifting to Du Yu. If he hadn’t brought her up, Su Chen would have almost forgotten about her.

“Yeah, my cousin told me. She arrived even earlier than us. The Jiang Family has some influence in Ying Feng, too,” Du Yu explained.

Su Chen was slightly surprised. He thought of Chang Jiangrong, the Head of the Research Department at Southwind who kept a low profile, and couldn’t help but sigh. “What an old fox…”
