Chapter 50: Misfortune

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sean’s expression turned excited: “Originally, I just wanted to come and take a look, only planning to agree if it was really relaxed… I didn’t expect to see you here!”

Su Lu rolled his eyes: “I’m surprised too!”

At the same time, he felt a sudden burst of inspiration, his eyes scanning back and forth across Sean.

It must be said, this was too coincidental, so much so that Su Lu thought it was somewhat abnormal.

But having looked him over, he found no residual Transcendent powers on Sean.

“But you… you actually have a shop in Nia City?” Sean said with a serious face:

“I’ve made up my mind, I’m staying and working for you!”

“Regarding you who came with the intention of quitting, I really have nothing to say…”

Su Lu rolled his eyes.

“Alright, don’t be too harsh. He mentioned it to me earlier… But I think, since our shop may not be able to last much longer, it might be better to do this instead of firing an outsider later!” Rod said.

How unconfident was he in his own business skills?

Su Lu commented in his heart, but he also knew that he might go to Green Tree Castle, and Rod, a nomadic Demon Hunter, would not stay long in this city once they left. Selling real estate was the normal operation.

‘I’m really a terrible procrastinator… I still haven’t decided whether to take the job or not!’

Su Lu massaged his face, his heart torn.

If he stayed in Nia City, he would have a property to maintain his livelihood, and the rest of the time could be spent completing tasks for the church, fighting evil, and gaining a lot of training and experience.

Also, he would have the freedom to pursue the clues of Beryl and the [Mystical Scholar] profession.

However…

After Donald let slip last time, Su Lu later found out that the laboratory at Green Tree Castle wasn’t as simple as it seemed, and was suspected of having a military background and wielding significant power.

There should be an equally high chance of encountering Transcendents within such a powerful institution.

Perhaps even their security personnel are Transcendents!

Moreover, such a job opportunity was rare. Among all the students at St. George’s University this year, only Su Lu was given one!

It was solely due to his [Basic Physics LV/+], using some knowledge from his previous life, which successfully aroused their interest.

If he refused, it would not be so easy to get in next time.

Despite his objections to joining strong federal institutions, which meant strict management and a lot of risks, researchers were different!

They were the most precious talents and surely deserved good protection.

Even between nations, when one nation was defeated, the victorious nation would often take the scientists and researchers with them, a treatment totally different from that of prisoners of war.

This had been Su Lu’s original plan.

Now, considering the factors influenced by Transcendents, he thought Green Tree Castle might offer many opportunities.

The Transcendent power held by a country would surely be stronger than that of any individual or organization.

Perhaps not only the subsequent [Spirit Medium] but also Expert and Master level profession information is collected there!

“You agreed by default.”

Rod didn’t notice Su Lu’s emotional fluctuations, and said directly: “Sean, I’ve told you about the terms of remuneration, if there are no problems then sign the contract and start work immediately!”

“No problem!”

Sean agreed excitedly, seeming happy to have found a steady job.

Su Lu was a bit confused, but he followed Rod out to a secluded corner and whispered, “What’s going on?”

“Actually… keeping an eye on Sean is one of the tasks of the Goddess Church! Because he’s suspected of being ‘cursed’, and in this period, it’s down on his luck! ”

Rod said frankly.

“You mean… his bad luck is strong enough to make a transoceanic trading company go bankrupt?” Su Lu couldn’t help but shiver a bit.

Although he knew early on that his roommate had the talent of a crow’s beak, he couldn’t even exaggerate to such an extent: “Wait a minute…”

He trembled: “Knowing all this, you still hired him as a clerk, are you not afraid that our shop will go bankrupt too?”

“The church will compensate us. After he’s hired, his salary will all be covered by the church, and there are rewards for completing tasks!” Rod counted on his fingers, one by one: “Besides… he’s your friend, if we can help, we must, I can’t find a reason to refuse. So, I pretended not to know him and accepted him.”

“Indeed, it is so.”

Su Lu took a deep breath, quickly accepted the situation.

Either way, it was just a shop. If it goes bankrupt, then so be it. After all, there was the insurance from the Goddess Church.

‘If our shop really goes bankrupt because of Sean, then we must demand compensation from the Goddess Church. A shop, yes… a bigger one, in a better location.’

Su Lu thought to himself.

Suddenly, he felt a bit guilty.

While his roommate was possibly under malicious supernatural threat and in danger, he was still focusing on such a thing. Wasn’t he too cold-blooded? “Bad luck? Are there any beings that can manipulate bad luck? It doesn’t seem to be a demon…”

He tried hard to recall his Demon Hunting Knowledge, and said uncertainly.

“Fate is one of the most unpredictable mysteries in the Transcendent world… and under Fate comes fortune and misfortune… Those who can master these two areas are very powerful secret existences!”

Rod voiced his guess: “In my opinion, Sean has inadvertently been affected by a bit of the breath of misfortune, and after the Goddess Church’s covert confirmation and purification, there’s no great possibility it’ll continue to cause harm…”

“So, we’re just taking him in for ‘post-operative observation’?” Su Lu understood at once, and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Exactly, as long as we confirm it’s safe for a while, we can be at ease… for now!” Rod emphasized: “In the world of Transcendents, there’s no absolute safety!”

“So, it’s best if he can master some abilities on his own…”

Su Lu understood the general idea.

“Alright, that’s all I know about Sean. Now we have another task.” Rod’s expression turned solemn: “It’s a supernatural event, I suspect the culprit is a Cursed Spirit! ” “Let’s not take on that kind of task, okay?”

Su Lu’s teeth ached.

Though he liked gold and experience points, he didn’t want to die.

“In fact, it was me who took it upon myself, because it’s related to you! Do you remember Moli?” Rod asked somberly.

“Catherine’s apprentice? The one who went missing after the hunt? Moli Aibo?”

Su Lu nodded: “If you’re talking about her, I do know her!”

“She’s been found!”

Rod’s expression was grave.

“Where?”

“At a gallery, she appeared there, and then a supernatural event occurred! Survivors generally forgot some things, but all claimed to have seen ghosts!”

“Ghosts?”

Su Lu’s gaze suddenly turned dark..
