My Professions Have Too Much Personality-Chapter 159 - 115: Craftsmanship Department, Becoming a Soldier Nurturer
’I wonder how many benefits I can squeeze out of the Security Department...’
Su Chen went downstairs, opened his navigation map, and zoomed in with his finger. ’The Professional Analysis Department... Let me see where it is... Found it.’
It was noon. The sun was dazzlingly bright, and the temperature was quite high.
’We already have an artificial sun, so why bother with changing seasons?’ Su Chen followed the map’s directions, sticking to the shady side of the road until he arrived in front of a large building.
Quite a few people were coming and going here: some older Judges, as well as some very young-looking seed members who were still in the training phase.
The ground floor lobby had ten service windows, but all of them had lines. Su Chen hesitated for a moment, trying to figure out which line was the shortest.
"Your Excellency, Su Chen?"
A woman in professional attire recognized Su Chen at a glance. She tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear and walked over with small, quick steps, her voice gentle. "Do you require a professional analysis?"
"Yes, I have some questions to ask," Su Chen nodded, glancing at her name tag—Shu Zichen.
"You’re a Core Seed, so you don’t need to wait in line. Please, come with me," Shu Zichen said in a low voice.
"Er..." Su Chen looked at the long lines. Quite a few people had noticed him and were looking over frequently.
"Alright."
Su Chen followed Shu Zichen upstairs. He could hear people murmuring below, but there was no dissatisfaction in their voices.
’In my past life, someone would’ve probably pulled out their phone by now...’ Su Chen thought idly. As she led the way, Shu Zichen asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, are you here for a consultation about a sequence Profession or a special Profession?"
"A special Profession," Su Chen replied.
Shu Zichen nodded and quietly reminded him, "Your clearance is very high. You could have had your personal butler make an appointment in advance. The analysis department can even send someone to your residence."
This was one of the many privileges afforded to a Core Seed, but since he hadn’t encountered the situation before, it hadn’t occurred to him that he had such a perk.
Shu Zichen led him to a lounge, poured him a cup of tea, and then respectfully took her leave.
Before long, two men walked in, one after the other.
"My name is Li Zhe, a senior professional consultant for the Judicial Court." The man in the lead stood ramrod straight and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He gestured to the somewhat unkempt fellow beside him, whose stubble was growing in patches.
"This is Ruan Yuntao, also a senior professional consultant."
"Your Excellency, Su Chen, we will be assisting you today."
This was Su Chen’s first time experiencing a so-called "professional analysis," so he wasn’t familiar with the process.
Li Zhe sat down with practiced ease, took out his personal smart terminal, and asked, "May I ask what requirement you are currently facing?"
The Professional Analysis Department was, in essence, a supplement to the Translation Department. Professional requirements were translated into text, but text itself could be interpreted in many ways.
The big shots at the Translation Department would never deign to serve ordinary Professionals, which gave rise to the role of professional analyst.
"I need to refine raw metal materials," Su Chen said.
"Refine raw metal materials..." Li Zhe’s eyes glinted as he instantly switched into work mode. "What category of metal needs to be refined? Are there any requirements regarding the value of the raw materials? To what degree of refinement?"
"Does it have to be done by hand, or can it be done using equipment?"
Su Chen was a bit taken aback by the barrage of questions.
Li Zhe explained, "Please rest assured, we are not prying into the details of your Profession. This information is related to the completion rate of your professional requirements, which in turn affects the success rate of your Profession’s employment and advancement, and even its overall strength..."
But Su Chen was just marveling at their expertise. He really hadn’t considered so many questions. On his panel, the requirements even had progress bars; nothing was more intuitive than a progress bar.
"Those are all the requirements I have. As for the category, degree of refinement, and so on, I don’t know," Su Chen said, shaking his head.
"Does this Profession have any other requirements?" Ruan Yuntao, who had been standing to the side, suddenly asked.
Li Zhe’s brow furrowed. He said in a low, stern voice, "You’re asking too much."
They were only supposed to ask questions based on the requirements their client provided. Asking too much could easily make someone wary.
"Actually, I just wanted you to help me coordinate with the Craftsmanship Department to see if they can provide the materials and a suitable environment," Su Chen said.
The Judicial Court’s Professional Analysis Department had another important function: coordinating with other departments to help people complete necessary professional requirements as quickly as possible.
"In that case, I have a good idea what your Profession is. A Soldier Nurturer, right?" Ruan Yuntao said with a look of realization. "Then you just need to contact the Craftsmanship Department directly. They have a standard procedure for this."
Li Zhe’s eyebrow twitched. He forced a smile and said, "My apologies, my colleague is just like that."
"It’s fine," Su Chen said, unconcerned.
Li Zhe let out a sigh of relief. "I’ll contact the Craftsmanship Department for you right away. If you head over now, you should be able to start as soon as you arrive."
’They’re so efficient,’ Su Chen marveled again. ’If I’d had to contact them myself, who knows how much time I would have wasted.’
Only after seeing Su Chen off did Li Zhe turn to Ruan Yuntao in exasperation. "Old Ruan, we’re colleagues! If you want to get yourself killed, don’t drag me down with you!"
Ruan Yuntao picked his nose and said lazily, "It’s not like he got angry. You, on the other hand... you didn’t even personally escort him to the Craftsmanship Department this time. When that last Core Seed came, didn’t you personally walk them all the way to the Engraving Department?"
"That was then, this is now. The last Core Seed was still a Core Seed, but now... things are uncertain." Li Zhe couldn’t help but shake his head. "I don’t know what the Chief is thinking, insisting on reform when things were perfectly fine."
"It’s because he saw how opportunistic you people are. You see a Core Seed and immediately start groveling and bootlicking, creating cliques everywhere," Ruan Yuntao sneered.
"And now that there’s some uncertainty, you immediately change your tune."
