My Professions Have Too Much Personality-Chapter 204 - 135: Step by Step, Su Chen’s Origin?

"Tsk, tsk..."

Seeing Su Chen’s lack of interest, an amused expression appeared on Ming Lin’s face. "It seems even a Yuan Capital Disciple isn’t good enough for you."

When he first met Su Chen, he had truly thought Su Chen was just a quiet person, uninterested in things like battles or competition.

Later, as he got to know Su Chen better and especially after the battle with Zhu Xuan, Ming Lin gradually figured it out. It wasn’t that Su Chen was uninterested; it was that he didn’t see them as rivals at all. It was a complete and utter disregard.

"Stop overthinking it..." Su Chen said, speechless. He changed the subject. "Have you ever heard of something called a Forged Ore Vein or the Star of Void?"

"Never heard of them." Ming Lin shook his head, a glint in his eye. "Where would I find the time to care about that stuff? Did you dig up another good profession?"

"I heard you went to the Translation Department again today."

"You’re well-informed." Seeing that Ming Lin didn’t know, Su Chen immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation.

"What’s the profession? Tell me about it, I’ll give you my thoughts," Ming Lin said with a grin. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Besides the main professions that advance through Tiers, special professions were also extremely useful. They could synergize with a main profession to drastically increase combat strength.

Some special professions seemed amazing on the surface but had many pitfalls after you took them. Some seemingly insignificant professions, however, could shine brilliantly when paired with others.

Then there were those that were genuinely powerful, but the requirements to take them were very high, and they took a long time to acquire. They were completely unsuitable for young people to waste their Talent on.

This required someone with a great deal of experience and knowledge of many professions to help screen for the most suitable one.

Such people only existed in the Translation Department, and they had to be at the old professor level. Even Ming Lin had a hard time winning their favor.

But this Su Chen guy was just too good at currying favor with the old-timers. It was only after Sang Hanhai’s last visit that Ming Lin understood: Su Chen had definitely made a huge haul at the Translation Department.

"There aren’t that many good professions." Su Chen shook his head and chuckled. "But what profession are you planning to trade me for it?"

"I actually do have a good one," Ming Lin said, lowering his voice. "This is a profession that isn’t even recorded in the Translation Department. I got it a long time ago from a certain settlement."

’He really does have something good?’

Su Chen was surprised. There were many professions not recorded by the Translation Department. He had even heard that some people in Ying Feng secretly deciphered Holy Word Stones to collect powerful professions and use them as part of their family’s foundation.

Seeing Su Chen’s interest, Ming Lin said, "I’ll give you a rough idea. It’s called [Gourmet]. It lets you consume large amounts of highly nutritious substances in advance, then rapidly digest them during battle to recover Physical Strength and heal injuries."

Su Chen’s eyes lit up. ’This profession is pretty good. Paired with [Reverser], I could even convert Physical Strength into Spiritual Power. It would be even more useful for me.’

"Not bad. It’s very versatile," Su Chen nodded.

"So, stop holding out on me," Ming Lin couldn’t help but say. "You definitely have something stashed away. I heard that when you were ambushed by Priest Black Tuo, you ran faster than a Tier Four Professional."

Aside from main professions, special professions were also a crucial part of one’s combat power. It’s just that powerful special professions had very high requirements, making them impossible to take at a Low Tier.

"Do you want a Low Tier, Top-tier Profession?" Su Chen asked.

Ming Lin refused. "No, no. I’m not a local from Ying Feng, and I don’t have a family that needs its foundation bolstered. High Tier ones are useful to me, but I don’t need a Low Tier, Top-tier one."

"I see. In that case, you’ll have to wait... It’ll be a while before I get the professions from the Translation Department." Su Chen thought, ’The Armored Bone Warrior would be a good profession to trade, but I can’t just take it out now. The Translation Department hasn’t finished deciphering it yet.’

But he was in no rush. He couldn’t take on the two special professions he currently had any time soon, and he didn’t have the extra energy to spare.

"Alright..." Seeing that Su Chen wouldn’t budge even after he’d offered [Gourmet], Ming Lin was disappointed. He could only add a warning, "It’s best if you don’t tell anyone else about this. It’s my secret, and I don’t want people showing up at my door."

Su Chen naturally agreed.

Ming Lin was very confident in Su Chen’s integrity. The two chatted a bit more, and Su Chen invited him to stay for a drink. Ming Lin waved his hands repeatedly and left, his face tinged green.

"Hmm... these two professions..." Su Chen’s gaze unfocused as he opened his panel and looked at the requirements to take them.

He needed to plan carefully to complete the requirements with the least amount of time and effort.

’First, I need to figure out what this Forged Ore Vein and Star of Void are.’ Su Chen sent a message to Gu Bing, asking her to have the Tie Family send someone over. He had something he needed to ask.

He figured the Tie Family should know something about it, since they had built their fortune on mining.

After Gu Bing replied, just over two hours later, she arrived at his door with a middle-aged man. The man’s face was grayish-brown and had a faint metallic texture, likely the result of some profession.

"Your Excellency Su Chen..." The middle-aged man was very nervous. After greeting him, he didn’t know what else to say.

"This is Tie Feng. He’s one of the main people in charge of the Tie Family," Gu Bing introduced.

"Please, sit..." Su Chen gestured for No. Zero to pour two cups of tea. Without much small talk, he went straight to the point. "I asked you to come here because I wanted to ask if you know about the Forged Ore Vein and the Star of Void."

"I do," Tie Feng replied concisely.

"Let’s start with the Forged Ore Vein," Su Chen said.

"Forged Ore... is a type of active metal. Refined Forged Ore is often used as a supplementary material for High-tier Weapons." Tie Feng’s speech was halting at first, but it grew smoother as he continued:

"It’s generally produced in cities like Silver Frost and Vermilion Fire, which are near the Copper Heart Mountain Range."

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully. "Does this type of ore vein have a core?"
