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 assessnt."
"That’s exactly what I was hoping for," Su Chen said imdiately. His original goal was to infiltrate the Translation Departnt. Now that he’d created an opening, he just needed to play the long ga.
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 ti, his gaze was fixed on Su Chen, completely ignoring Yang Yan beside them. He smiled and said, "Brother Su, feel free to look
up for a chat whenever you co by in the future."
"Perhaps we’ll even be able to work together at the Translation Departnt soday. 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 tal 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
find a hotel for you nearby. It’ll be convenient for your trips to the Translation Departnt. Any requirents?"
"One with a gravity chamber," Su Chen said after a mont’s thought. "At least five tis 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 so money then." Su Chen did a quick ntal calculation, then pulled a few pieces of purple tal 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.
"Do Stones, huh. Let
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 Do 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 Assessnt 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 comnted, 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 sa ti."
"It’s a sha 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 mbers, and Outer Court mbers—these were the divisions within the Judicial Court.
"There are two of them?" Su Chen couldn’t help but be surprised. At the sa ti, he angled the virtual screen more toward himself. ’What’s with this guy’s weird habit of peeking?’
Seeing Su Chen’s movent, Yang Yan was speechless. He’d only caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye. Could you bla him?
He explained, "Ying Feng’s population alone is quite large, not to ntion all the cities under its rule. Even if an Ink Jade Level Talent is extrely rare, over many years, so are bound to be discovered."
"However, Talent is just Talent. It doesn’t guarantee your final achievents. The profession requirents 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 requirents for High-tier Professions can get."
Su Chen understood. Profession requirents were bizarre and varied. So allowed for assistance from others, so were difficult for others to help with, and so 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
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 anities one could ask for. Using his Spiritual Power, he didn’t detect any caras 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.
