My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 101 - 96: Core Seed, Position of the Chief Judge

Chapter 101: Chapter 96: Core Seed, Position of the Chief Judge

“Coming in once every two or three days will be fine.” He added, “Don’t worry, it won’t interfere with your Judicial Court assessment.”

“That’s exactly what I was hoping for,” Su Chen said immediately. His original goal was to infiltrate the Translation Department. Now that he’d created an opening, he just needed to play the long game.

Yang Yan’s expression shifted, and he couldn’t help but sigh to himself.

’Su Chen is really quite lucky. Even if this is just a temporary gig, he’s managed to connect with Elder Sang. That’s bound to be beneficial down the line.’

After Su Chen gave his identification code and they exchanged contact information, he left with Yang Yan.

Jin Yunxuan got on the elevator with them. This time, his gaze was fixed on Su Chen, completely ignoring Yang Yan beside them. He smiled and said, “Brother Su, feel free to look me up for a chat whenever you come by in the future.”

“Perhaps we’ll even be able to work together at the Translation Department someday. A place like the Judicial Court, full of brutes, doesn’t have much of a future.”

“I’m sure there will be a chance,” Su Chen replied peacefully. He had no conflict with the man.

On the way out, riding the metal disc, Yang Yan couldn’t resist saying, “I’m not one to speak ill of others behind their back, but that guy is bad news. Be careful when you deal with him.”

’You’re doing exactly that right now,’ Su Chen grumbled inwardly. He nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll be careful.”

It was already completely dark outside. Only a sliver of the silver moon remained in the sky.

Boarding the hovercar, Yang Yan said, “Let me find a hotel for you nearby. It’ll be convenient for your trips to the Translation Department. Any requirements?”

“One with a gravity chamber,” Su Chen said after a moment’s thought. “At least five times normal gravity.”

“That won’t be cheap.” Yang Yan glanced at him. “It won’t be less than a thousand gold a night.”

“I’ll need to exchange some money then.” Su Chen did a quick mental calculation, then pulled a few pieces of purple metal from his luggage in the trunk of the car.

These were from Pan Yu’s savings, which he’d never had a chance to use back in Southwind.

“Dome Stones, huh. Let me check for the nearest exchange.” Yang Yan opened a virtual screen, did a quick search, and then took Su Chen there.

Using his ID, he got a debit card and converted ten Dome Stones into forty-five thousand gold.

“A 10% service fee…” Su Chen was still complaining as they left.

On the way to the hotel, Su Chen followed Yang Yan’s instructions, opened his wristband, and used his current identification code to register and connect to Ying Feng’s network.

It gave Su Chen a rare sense of familiarity. Unlike Southwind, Ying Feng’s population size and quality were enough to support online communities.

As a result, there were various forums where one could not only look up all sorts of information but also get news updates and even offline delivery services.

“Judicial Court Assessment Nears, Suspected Appearance of an Individual with Ink Jade Talent Causes a Sensation!”

Su Chen scanned the headline and clicked on it. After a quick look, he saw the entire article was full of “it is said,” “I heard,” and “it is speculated,” with no valuable information.

“Ink Jade…” Yang Yan commented, his eyes darting over. “We haven’t seen one in years. I didn’t expect one to show up this year. Including this new one, the Judicial Court now has two people with Ink Jade Talent at the same time.”

“It’s a shame the four Core Seeds were already assigned. I wonder what they’ll do this year. This person definitely won’t be satisfied with just being an Inner Court Seed.”

“After all, who wouldn’t want to compete for the position of Chief Judge?”

These matters were rather distant from Yang Yan’s world; for him, it was just casual gossip.

Core Seed, Inner Court Seed, Inner Court Members, and Outer Court Members—these were the divisions within the Judicial Court.

“There are two of them?” Su Chen couldn’t help but be surprised. At the same time, he angled the virtual screen more toward himself. ’What’s with this guy’s weird habit of peeking?’

Seeing Su Chen’s movement, Yang Yan was speechless. He’d only caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye. Could you blame him?

He explained, “Ying Feng’s population alone is quite large, not to mention all the cities under its rule. Even if an Ink Jade Level Talent is extremely rare, over many years, some are bound to be discovered.”

“However, Talent is just Talent. It doesn’t guarantee your final achievements. The profession requirements are a huge roadblock, and many with exceptional Talent fall every year.”

He added with a sigh, “And… the higher your Talent, the more you pursue the absolute limit. Who doesn’t want to have Top-tier Professions at every stage? You have no idea how insane the requirements for High-tier Professions can get.”

Su Chen understood. Profession requirements were bizarre and varied. Some allowed for assistance from others, some were difficult for others to help with, and some even involved subjective factors.

These were all problems that Talent couldn’t solve. If you truly ended up on the path to a dead-end profession, it wouldn’t matter how high your Talent was, not even if it was Ink Jade.

“We’re here…” The place Yang Yan found was indeed very close, taking only about half an hour to reach. It was called Moyun Observation Courtyard—its exterior walls were painted gray-white and soared into the clouds.

He showed his Judge credentials and got a 30% discount, allowing Su Chen to get a room for seven hundred gold per night.

“Contact me if you need anything.” Yang Yan exchanged contact information with him, saw him to his room, and then took his leave.

’This room isn’t bad. Worthy of Ying Feng,’ Su Chen thought as he looked it over, inside and out. It had all the amenities one could ask for. Using his Spiritual Power, he didn’t detect any cameras or similar devices.

PHEW… Su Chen stood before the window, looking down at the world outside. The moonlight was dim, but Ying Feng was still bustling with activity.

“…Ink Jade, Saint, Morning Star Tier…” Su Chen murmured.
