Background / History

Su Chen first drew attention at Chu Guozhong's funeral, where his unusual dress and calm, inscrutable manner led attendees and three veterans to question his connection to the deceased. He offered the veterans his umbrella during a rainstorm but left his past unexplained. 6

He operates Su's Funeral Company through a system that rewards successfully completed funeral assignments with money, shop points, skills, draws from the Perfect Wheel, and opportunities to improve his strength. After completing his third task perfectly, he received one million yuan and a strength-improvement opportunity. 41 By his fourth perfect task, he had earned nearly another million yuan and entered a four-day system rest period. 54

His work gradually brought him into the Anomalous World. After obtaining the Art of Painting and upgrading his storefront to level three, he began facing increasingly dangerous Anomalous Persons and learned to use talismans, runes, and his shop's unusual functions. 118 Old Qin later offered him recruitment into the Mysterious Bureau, but Su Chen declined while accepting a gold-attribute rune essence. 148

Su Chen represented the Dragon Element team in the Mount Longhu competition. He defeated Kurosaki Changshan, a Kou-system combatant wielding a Ghost Blade, with the Heavenly Thunder Righteous Law and Sacrificial Thunder Sky Burial. The victory confirmed him as a Level 6 Anomalous Person and led to his comprehension of Funeral of Thunder. 269 270 271

He also shows empathy toward the deceased and those connected to his funeral work, including Chen Erxing, whose record in the client logbook gives Su Chen an unexplained sense of familiarity. 89 146 280
