Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 222 - 122: Shut It Down, It’s No Fun [6k]

Soon, Lu Wenwu welcomed the day of officially starting his job.

Before going to officially report at the Ghost Gate Security Bureau, he had already clocked in at three part-time units, completed the onboarding process, and confirmed what he could get from his work.

Bo’er Elephant Caretaker at the Demon Suppression Bureau.

This position works a bit like the executioners responsible for beheading in ancient times.

No need to be present daily and no attendance clock-ins required.

When there is a task, they will notify him in advance, and he can come when he has time.

Besides a fixed salary, other commissions are calculated based on the number of tasks, with a bonus for each ghost fed.

The available payment methods are limited to Netherworld Currency, Incense, and Merit.

Lu Wenwu straightforwardly chose Netherworld Currency for his expenses in the Underworld for the upcoming year.

Incense and Merit were of no use to him, and converting Spirit Coins into Netherworld Currency was a loss, so he preferred to directly choose Netherworld Currency.

Opting for this option also provided more, by default it was 50% more valuable than Incense and Merit combined, and more cost-effective than exchanging at the Offering Pavilion.

At the Wangchuan Ghost Food Bureau, Lu Wenwu successfully secured dual positions in the R&D department: Ghost Food Research and Development Engineer and Spiritual Cuisine Consultant.

Spirit Chefs are extremely rare in the Underworld, and there are only a few ghosts with this skill in the entire Food Bureau.

It’s not that they can’t be taught, it’s just that the learning difficulty is too high, and they simply can’t learn.

Ghosts like Lu Wenwu, who have a complete inheritance and a broad understanding of various fields and levels, are even rarer.

The work at the Food Bureau was also more relaxed than Lu Wenwu had imagined.

He just needs to dedicate one fixed day per week to teach a cooking class to a group of ghost chefs and participate in the research of new ghost food varieties.

If Lu Wenwu has any good ideas, he can also independently apply to establish a project team and voluntarily work overtime to conduct research.

After achieving results, corresponding rewards will be given.

Although the Food Bureau’s salary level is not high, the variety of payment options is very diverse, offering some advantages that other positions do not have.

For instance...

Special demon materials, rare ingredients, and medicinal materials.

Many of them cannot be found in the market, with this being the only source.

Like the main ingredients for Ancient Meng Po Soup: Great Dream Rhododendron, Other Shore Flower, Soul Cleansing Soil;

Or the Resentful Soul Nether Spirit Liquid, Life and Death Reincarnation Mushroom, and Life Soul Chili nurtured from the thousand-year-old ominous grounds;

And imported goods from the Western Hell: Sheep-headed Demon Meat, Fiery Flame Soul Burning Chicken, Skeleton Demon Thigh Bone, etc.

As a Spirit Chef, Lu Wenwu naturally found these treasures incredibly enticing and applied to have his salary disbursed in the form of rare materials, which he can personally select each month.

With so many delicious ingredients, how many different flavors of stuffed pancakes could be made with earthly cooking methods?

The thought alone is already very exciting!

The last part-time position, Deputy Minister of the Materials Management Department of the Heaven and Earth Bank.

Yes, Lu Wenwu, as a newcomer with zero experience who just passed the Underworld civil service exam, directly entered the department!

Entrusted with a significant responsibility by his superiors!

When Lu Wenwu arrived, the entire Materials Management Department of the Heaven and Earth Bank practically lined up to welcome him.

Even the current Pavilion Master of the Offering Pavilion and the General Manager of the Underworld’s branch of the Heaven and Earth Bank, the Old Ghost, personally came out to greet him with a handshake.

Although Lu Wenwu’s specific work capabilities were still unknown.

It didn’t affect them giving him a small, no-real-power position.

No ghosts below had any objections.

Simply because...he is a human!

Lu Wenwu could navigate all the dangers within the Offering Pavilion!

Even the president didn’t dare to touch certain things, and he could handle them on his own!

If they didn’t offer this precious all-round tool man a bit more benefits, what if he wasn’t happy and switched jobs?

Thus, Lu Wenwu, bewildered, received a cushy job with maximum freedom.

The president specially approved that coming to work for just one day about every half month would be enough, and it didn’t matter when he came.

He wasn’t responsible for other tasks, just storing and archiving those dangerous goods that looked auspicious at a glance or sending them to the Paper Money Mountain as scrap if necessary.

If it couldn’t be handled any other way, Lu Wenwu could even take them home himself, as long as he removed these dangerous items for ghosts.

Monthly salary is settled in Spirit Coins, a total of twenty thousand!

Starting directly from this month, even if the full month isn’t completed, it’s still paid!

For Lu Wenwu, who could make a fortune selling stuffed pancakes, this really wasn’t much.

Working the whole year only totals two hundred forty thousand Spirit Coins, which isn’t even equivalent to a day’s sales from a stall.

However, he only works two days a month!

Plus, the Offering Pavilion is one of the few units able to pay salaries in Spirit Coins in the Underworld, while other units typically offer the straightforward Netherworld Currency, Incense, Merit, etc.

Compared to ordinary players, the richness of this welfare benefit is simply absurd.

If one cleared the minimum requirements and simply completed the main mission to receive a "Pass" rating, it only amounted to a thousand Spirit Coins at a time.

Completing a side quest only rewarded a "Good" rating, totaling fourteen thousand.

Rounding up, Lu Wenwu could lie through twenty-four side missions in a run without doing anything.

Ordinary players would envy themselves to tears!

After completing the onboarding at the three part-time units, Lu Wenwu joined the crowd on the important day and headed to the Ghost Gate Security Bureau.

This wasn’t the place where he took the Yellow Springs Express by bus to enter the Underworld, but the real location of the Ghost Gate.
