Chapter 221 - 121: Interviewer Tiding (6k)_3
Then, the entire body lay flat on the ground, with one ear tightly pressed against the earth.
"Oh earth, oh earth, please tell me, is this human in front of me a good person?"
About a second later, Lu Wenwu suddenly felt the Life and Death Talisman on his chest tremble slightly and heat up.
A faint voice, indistinguishable in gender, emerged: "He might be a good person, but it’s unlikely that he is a good person. He can be a good person, but not entirely a good person."
This was probably because the Divine Beast Tiding was right there, and the subject of description was Lu Wenwu himself.
So Lu Wenwu barely heard the echo of the earth.
It’s just the way it speaks...
Why does it sound like Norino?
You understand contradictory literature.
"The earth tells me, your attribute is Chaos Neutral, no wonder you were sent here." Tiding remained lying on the ground, "Oh earth, oh earth, please tell me, how is this human’s skill at cooking egg-stuffed pancakes?"
That ethereal voice came again: "111111111111..."
This time, Lu Wenwu couldn’t hold it in.
No?
This earth is a bit too improper, isn’t it?
What, are you going to give me a Hellfire?
How did this abstract earth communicate with Tiding for so many years?
"It seems you have heard the earth’s response through my power, but you are very troubled by it." Tiding said seriously, "The earth’s response is different in every creature’s perception, conveyed in the way you are most accustomed to, so please don’t misunderstand it."
Lu Wenwu: "..."
Alright, alright, the abstraction is me.
Tiding still didn’t get up but asked the third question: "Oh earth, oh earth, please tell me, what is this person always thinking about in his mind?"
The earth’s voice, as indistinguishable as before, with a flat tone: "Go to the kitchen to make some egg-stuffed pancakes, increase purity, make more egg-stuffed pancakes, increase more purity, when high-speed machinery enters the Divine Continent 锟届瀿锟斤拷雮傡锟锟斤拷锟斤拷之锟斤拷锟窖э拷锟..."
This time, Lu Wenwu was very sure that he had heard some very strange things just now.
He looked at the Divine Beast Tiding, who finally stood up, put the floor tiles back, and returned to lying comfortably in its original size.
"Did we both hear the same thing just now? Why are the words the earth said gibberish at the end?"
Tiding, unconcerned, lay its head down, found a comfortable position, and transmitted spiritually, "It’s not the earth’s response that’s gibberish, it’s your own thinking that’s chaotic, disordered, and meaningless when combined."
Lu Wenwu thought for a moment and earnestly said, "I suspect you’re calling me crazy, but I have no proof."
"I’m not." Tiding firmly denied, "You’re just overly divergent in your thoughts, it’s quite common, many ancient practitioners become like you on their cultivation path, even more serious."
"Really?" Lu Wenwu asked, a bit skeptical.
"This seat is the mount of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, how could I deceive you?" Tiding glanced at him, then lay back down, "If there’s nothing else, go back and wait for notification."
Lu Wenwu didn’t move, continuing to ask, "Did I pass then?"
"Naturally, the egg-stuffed pancake is delicious, I really like it, so you can consider your employment position for the foreseeable future." Tiding said with righteous honesty, "Three lords are quite fond of you."
"Three of them?" Lu Wenwu continued to ask persistently, "Would you kindly find out who they are?"
"You have too many questions, ask next time."
Tiding blew a breath, suddenly whisking Lu Wenwu out of the interview hall.
When his feet landed on the Netherworld, he was back in the small courtyard of Black 985 and Bai Er Yi Yi.
Black and White Impermanence, just about to start their shift, looked utterly flabbergasted.
After Lu Wenwu left, Tiding let out a soft laugh.
Out of nowhere, it took out a peculiar little booklet, marking a comment beside Lu Wenwu’s name.
"Immense potential, but mental state deviates remarkably from the norm, not recommended for group tasks. His egg-stuffed pancake is extraordinarily delicious, truly a rare delicacy."
After that, there was a burst of strange spiritual fluctuation around it, suddenly transforming into thousands, manifesting countless projections of itself, simultaneously conducting interviews with hundreds of Ghost Souls.
For these ghosts, Tiding was more formal than it had just been with Lu Wenwu, asking only serious questions without any chatty steps.
Less ghostly, and a bit more mechanically cold.
...
Sure enough, as Tiding said, Lu Wenwu passed the interview without a stir.
Once again marveling at the speed of the underworld.
Test one day, results the next.
On the third day, he was supposed to participate in a physical examination and submit a job application form,
However...
The underworld had no physical examination equipment for the living, and the ghostly ones he couldn’t use.
The old ghosts in the Ghost Power Resources Department simply cancelled this segment after a discussion, shrugging off the responsibility directly to the hiring unit, letting them handle it themselves when the time came.
...
He casually dreams, his descendants up above are too troublesome.
Wait until the sedimentation period ends to talk about it!
And back then, a certain department once recruited a person born pure Yang on the solar year, month, day, and hour.
As a result....
Who would have thought this guy’s Yang Qi was so strong, even after dying, it was heavier than the living.
On his first day at work, he politely shook hands with colleagues, doing nothing else.
As a result, the massive buffs on his body took effect immediately, directly purifying and liberating a particularly weak colleague in the department.
At first, he was contemplating if there would be any issues with him being traversed over, but fortunately, nothing unusual happened, everything proceeded as usual.
Lu Wenwu’s main application for Ghost An along with three part-time miracles were all approved.
At the moment of seeing the announcement, Black 985 exclaimed in disbelief.
Bai Er Yi Yi became even more convinced that Lu Wenwu had significant backing behind him.
Although theoretically having a main job and part-time in three other departments is feasible.
But up till now, there has been only this one case of Lu Wenwu.
In fact, it wasn’t just Black 985 who thought it was absurd, any ghost who saw the announcement thought it was utterly absurd.
Is this guy King Yama’s own son, to hold so many positions at once?
Could he be a ghost-payroller?
They all wanted to ask why such an obscure character like Lu Wenwu could hold multiple positions after just one underworld exam.
In response, King Yama accepted an interview with Underworld TV, specifically clarifying the matter to the public, stating everything was fair and just, absolutely no falsification involved.
Under King Yama’s well-established reputation, the ghosts of the underworld easily accepted the result.
And indeed it was.
Lu Wenwu earned his written exam score fairly, though the Ghost Power Security Bureau was still in disbelief that a human could score nearly perfect.
This score was too sensational to announce.
They are currently trying to find some loopholes, to see if there are ways to deduce some points from Lu Wenwu.
The experts responsible for creating the exam papers are still reviewing what went wrong.
In the interview aspect, both the earth and Tiding acknowledged Lu Wenwu was fine, what else is there to say?
Definitely well-rooted and reliable, rise and start working!

PS: I never expected to actually write a genuine high-quality original book...I guess this could barely be considered a successful transition...right? Speaking of which, my initial goal for starting this book was just one or two thousand averages. Surpassing the goal, what a delight, what a delight indeed!
