New colleague, Hei Wuchang, is very difficult to deal with

"White Impermanence..."

Tian Baozhu found that after hearing his voice, all the harsh noises disappeared.

She watched him walk from the low-level employee area to the first row of the high-level employee area. The employees saluted him along the way. He walked to her side and stood still.

"Now you are Bai Wuchang." He said with a smile.

Bai Wuchang... No, now she is the new generation of Bai Wuchang, so let's call him -

"So I call you Old Bai Wuchang?"

"OK."

Old Bai Wuchang seemed to be used to this title very well. Tian Baozhu was angry and a little amused. Just when she was about to say, "Aren't you going to ask for my opinion?", someone next to her spoke for her.

"I object. I object to the handover of Bai Wuchang."

It was Hei Wuchang. His expression didn't seem to change much at this moment, but one could tell from his voice that he was very unhappy.

"Hei Wuchang, as the 99th Hei Wuchang, your words 'oppose' are unconvincing, right?"

Oh? Tian Baozhu looked at Hei Wuchang's poker face, which was covered by his messy hair.

Hei Wuchang has already had so many generations? It seems that this position of Hei Wuchang is quite useless.

"She's from the human world, right? As a newcomer, her job is to get a number plate and line up in order to be reincarnated."

"There are a large number of ghosts pouring into the underworld right now. According to the order, she will have to wait at least a year before she can draw the lot."

If she waited a year, would she be doing nothing for that whole year? If she became an employee of the underworld, she would at least have a year of work experience. She admitted that she was bewitched by the words "there is a regular position" that Old Bai Wuchang had said.

Tian Baozhu began to seriously consider the possibility of becoming Bai Wuchang in the underworld...

While she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a burning heat, and when she looked up, she saw the dazzling flames.

Several balls of flame flew over.

"Have you forgotten that I exist?!"

※※※

When the flames brushed past her, Tian Baozhu, who hadn't reacted in time, was quickly grabbed by the collar and pulled aside by Black Wuchang. She was safe, but Old White Wuchang was a little slower and got his hair slightly burned.

The burly King of Hell stood up like a mountain, holding an inextinguishable fireball in his hand, and it looked like he wanted to throw a few more at them.

"Hoo--! Bai Wuchang--!! I'm still in a meeting and you suddenly interrupted me. What do you mean by that? And what about this girl pretending to be you?"

When the King of Hell pointed out that she was pretending to be Bai Wuchang, Tian Baozhu shuddered.

"It was Black Wuchang who interrupted me and stopped me from speaking. It's not my fault." Old White Wuchang complained to the King of Hell.

"This little girl is my next generation successor, the second generation of Bai Wuchang."

The King of Hell was furious: "Why didn't you report to me? You just arrested someone without authorization and decided to retire on your own?"

"This young lady is a student at an agricultural university. She has comprehensive agricultural knowledge and excellent hands-on skills. Isn't she exactly the farming professional you, King Yan, need right now? I'll retire and give her the position of Bai Wuchang. It's a perfect fit."

Huh? It seems she hadn't explained her profession to Old Bai Wuchang before? How come he seemed to know everything?

Tian Baozhu searched her memory and it seemed that she had mentioned holding a lamb in her mouth when she wanted to pick him up. Could he have guessed this from this?

It doesn't matter how she knew it. What matters is that the King of Hell is now going to transform the underworld, and her major will become very popular. When she was alive, she was worried about being unemployed after graduation, but she didn't expect that after death she could shine in places she least expected.

"Agricultural students, that's definitely not something you can do casually. They're professional farmers..."

Yan Wang Lei Ting Xiao Fa, there is no other way, it is so difficult to introduce talents. Now there is a ready-made good seedling, who does not need training and can be put on the job immediately, and his working ability is also full. As a unit, what more can we ask for!

Everyone almost forgot about Lord Yama's obsession with farming, but he himself did not forget it.

The King of Hell cleared his throat:

"After much consideration, I hereby declare that Bai Wuchang will hand over my approval..."

"Lord Yama, I object."

Just when the King of Hell, Old Bai Wuchang, and Tian Baozhu were all satisfied, a familiar voice of objection was heard again.

Hei Wuchang, you really are the ghost that lingers around.

※※※

"Lord Yama, Bai Wuchang is looking for a recently deceased ghost. She's unfamiliar with the underworld, so how can she be competent for the work there? I think it's best to have her quickly queue up and wait for reincarnation. Do you agree?"

“Ah, this…”

The employees around him hesitated and were not sure what to say. How could the low-level employees say such things? They were definitely just one step away from meeting the King of Hell, but Hei Wuchang was a first-level employee and they had to give him face. Both sides did not want to offend each other, so their attitudes became ambiguous.

Tian Baozhu was heartbroken. They looked down on her because she had no work experience. Who is born with experience? Old employees also started out as new employees! The Black Impermanence had changed ninety-nine generations, so why couldn't Bai Wuchang be the second generation?

"Alas, you stubborn young man."

Old Bai Wuchang no longer paid attention to Hei Wuchang, but pulled Tian Baozhu aside and whispered to her:

"Little girl, I will now pass on my spirit-calling bell to you. Please shake it."

Tian Baozhu took it and shook the bell as he instructed, and the bell made a crisp sound.

"Great, you can use it normally. So what's your name?"

Entrusting her with such an important task without even knowing her name? Old Bai Wuchang is quite careless.

"My name is Tian Baozhu. Tian means field, Bao means treasure, and Zhu means pearl."

"Tian Baozhu? What a nice name. I'll say it later and you can repeat it after me."

"OK."

Old Bai Wuchang began to mutter to himself.

"The new generation of Bai Wuchang is Tian Baozhu, and we support her as Bai Wuchang."

She chanted, "The new generation of Bai Wuchang is Tian Baozhu. We support her as Bai Wuchang."

"Bai Wuchang will rule the martial arts world for thousands of years."

I don't need to recite this... Tian Baozhu pretended to be confused. While ringing the bell, she silently repeated the previous sentence that Old Bai Wuchang taught her.

She saw the employees' eyes become dazed when the bell rang.

"It's working. Read it a few more times."

Tian Baozhu did as she was told and recited it several times.

"We unanimously approve Tian Baozhu. We support her as the White Impermanence!"

"We unanimously approve Tian Baozhu. We support her as the White Impermanence!"

"We unanimously approve Tian Baozhu. We support her as the White Impermanence!"

In the hall, uniform slogans were heard one after another. Some employees, deeply moved by the ringing of the bell, waved their hands and shouted along with the slogans. The support came from all directions, and the sound pressure was as powerful as a rainbow.

The scary spirit bell!

"Hei Wuchang, everyone agrees, but you are the only one who objects. According to the principle of minority obeying majority, your objection is invalid.

Moreover, once the Impermanence Instrument changes hands, it signifies a permanent transfer of identity and cannot be revoked. As the 99th Black Impermanence, you should know this best, right?

Tian Baozhu saw that Hei Wuchang suddenly fell silent after hearing what Lao Bai Wuchang said.

There seemed to be some hidden secret behind the Black Impermanence's generational change. But that wasn't her place to ask. Yes, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't delve into what you're not curious about.

This is her code of survival in the workplace.

"That's all I have to say, King Yan. From today on, I will resign from this position. I am no longer the White Impermanence."

Tian Baozhu saw beads of sweat on Old Bai Wuchang's face, as if he had used up his last bit of strength to say these words.

"Have you really decided to retire?"

Tian Baozhu was sure that she saw regret and reluctance on the King of Hell's face, and his concern for Old Bai Wuchang was not because of his position, but because of him as a person.

Old Bai Wuchang didn't answer the question. He waved his hand and said, "You guys continue. I'm going to go out and rest for a while."

He was escorted out the door again in full view of the crowd.

※※※

Only Hei Wuchang was left beside Tian Baozhu, staring at her.

"Hey, have you guys discussed this enough?" Yama, who had already moved from standing to sitting, yawned boredly. "Hei Wuchang, I understand your concerns, but from now on, your focus won't be on ghost errands, but on farming. This little girl is your senior in farm work, and you'll be her senior in the underworld. You can mentor each other, and that's the best of both worlds."

What this means is that no matter who plays the role of the Black and White Impermanence, the one who can farm is the Black and White Impermanence he recognizes.

"Little girl, you are the White Impermanence. From today on, I will officially appoint you as the farming team leader."

"You, you should just call me Bai Wuchang."

Tian Baozhu smiled and said that she still wanted to leave a good impression on her boss.

After the King of Hell officially expressed his position, although Hei Wuchang didn't say anything else, Tian Baozhu could still feel his gaze fixed on her.

She raised the spirit-calling bell in her hand and rang it a few times, to show: I am an officially recognized staff member.

Humph, so stupid.

Tian Baozhu seemed to hear Hei Wuchang's hum, but it seemed to be an illusion, because when she looked at Hei Wuchang again, Hei Wuchang had already turned his face away.

※※※

The interrupted meeting continued.

"I have done research during this period, and we will focus on renovating and developing three areas."

The King of Hell raised a finger:

"First, the Yellow Springs Road is too desolate. We should plant more flowers and plants."

"Lord Yama, Huangquan Road is already too crowded. If we set aside space to plant flowers and plants, I'm afraid the road will be blocked from here on."

"Yellow Springs Road is the face of the underworld. It's the first thing people from above see when they descend into the underworld. Roads in the human world are all superbly built, large six-lane roads with landscaped flowers planted along the sides and in the middle. But our roads are not only shabby, but also overgrown with weeds. Where's the image of the underworld? How can this be justified?"

They didn't come to the underworld to enjoy themselves, did they? A bit of desolation would make them face the reality of death.

But this was Yama's order, and they hadn't intended to object. The sporadic voices of opposition only served to highlight Yama's majestic image of overcoming obstacles to his work. This was a bit of workplace wisdom from the underworld's employees.

Because he had been dead for so long, it was very tiring to use their brains, so they just had to follow the procedures and do what they were told.

The King of Hell extended his second finger:

"Secondly, the decking of Naihe Bridge has been decaying and in disrepair for years. The lack of new timber is the fundamental reason it has been impossible to repair. This time we will replant golden nanmu trees and repair the Naihe Bridge."

"Hiss, Lord Yama's second mission is too difficult. Lord Black and White Impermanence have their hands full, and ninety-nine percent of their work is in vain."

The three words "in vain" were emphasized so much that it was hard for Tian Baozhu not to hear them.

The focus of the discussion shifted from the King of Hell to her and Hei Wuchang. Tian Baozhu wanted to ask Hei Wuchang why everyone was judging her so harshly. After all, if you don't understand something, you should ask your seniors, even if Hei Wuchang doesn't want to pay attention to her. Then she saw a scene that made her jaw drop:

Hei Wuchang is actually in——

Steal, steal, clap, applause!

The corner of the mouth is still——

With a smile!

This, this, this... Tian Baozhu was confused by the completely different reactions from the other employees. She immediately asked, "Do you think it's easy?"

Hei Wuchang turned his head to look at her, his poker face returning to normal, but a hint of a smile could still be seen at the corner of his mouth. He replied briefly, "I think it's very good."

Hello, I'm fine too.

Although she didn't know where Hei Wuchang's enthusiasm for planting golden nanmu came from, but since he said so, Tian Baozhu felt that what other employees said was "wasting time" was nothing to be afraid of.

It’s great to have a partner who also loves farming.

"This third one... is extremely difficult, extremely complicated, and quite difficult..."

The King of Hell extended his third finger.

Lord Yama added a lot of adjectives, which must be a place that is more harsh and more difficult to overcome. All the employees fell silent and wanted to hear what kind of place it was.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet."

fall!

The King of Hell was stimulated by the human world and thought of making changes, but it is not his fault that he came up with these plans one by one, because he also secretly took the document templates from the human world and studied them for a long time. Of course, he could not let his subordinates know this truth.

"Well, as a good leader, holding a meeting is to gather everyone's wisdom and let everyone contribute ideas. If there are any things I haven't thought of, everyone can speak freely. Many hands make light work. Let's all work together to identify and fill in the gaps."

Silence fell again.

The King of Hell's dark complexion gradually turned red with anger. It was infuriating! It was so infuriating! Was there not a single person with a brain in the entire underworld?

The employees closed their eyes in fear. The Yama Volcano had reached a critical point and was about to erupt in the next second.

One hand was raised high.

"Bai Wuchang, do you have anything else to add?"

Instead of erupting, the volcano grinned.

"Lord Yama, if we only grow plants, shouldn't we raise some small animals?"

Tian Baozhu is not bragging, she also has her own experience in raising animals.

"We in the underworld don't eat. There's no need to raise animals."

She forgot that people often raise animals for practicality. Without the survival needs of appetite, the demand for animals in the underworld has dropped significantly, and perhaps their only remaining function is to enrich and embellish.

Also, animals that can withstand the harsh environment of the underworld must not die.

Are there any immortal animals? She couldn't seem to recall any memorable animals from the underworld from previous stories...

Does the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon count?

No, you can’t laugh at your colleagues, she shook her head.

It’s not okay to think about it in private.

Well, she didn't have any good ideas for the time being.

"I'm sorry, Lord Yama. I wasn't thoughtful enough. I don't have anything else to add for now."

"Anyway, the mission has been handed over to you two, so you can do whatever you want." Yan Wang replied with a kind smile, then glanced seriously at the other employees, "You also have to participate. Although the important task has been handed over to Heibai Wuchang and others, you must actively cooperate wherever your help is needed!"

"Yes! Lord Yama!" All the employees answered in unison.

Lord Bai Wuchang seems to be full of energy and has started his new job. But that's fine, they don't need to worry about the planning, they can help out. However, Lord Hei Wuchang next to him looks very unhappy, and his poker face never changes.

Lord Bai Wuchang was able to continue speaking without changing his expression. She is truly amazing! First, I bow to Lord Bai Wuchang.

Of course, Tian Baozhu could sense the admiration or pity expressed by other employees.

Although people often say that she is slow in interpersonal relationships, sometimes when others say bad things about her, she doesn't realize that they are being disparaging towards her. It was only after her friends reminded her that she realized that was what others meant.

In fact, once she had an opportunity to support her as her stable core, other ups and downs could not affect her character.

For example, if she was happy doing farm work, she wouldn't care if others said she didn't know how to clean herself and looked dirty. This time, too, she was enthusiastic about her work, of course, because she had the approval and support of the Lord Yama.

What does a colleague named Hei Wuchang with a sour face mean? Her farming work will not be affected by it.

Don’t underestimate how much former graduates are dedicated to having a stable job!

※※※

After the meeting, Tian Baozhu came out and saw Old Bai Wuchang sitting on the steps outside the gate of the underworld.

She had many questions she wanted to ask Old Bai Wu Chang, but she didn't know where to start. Instead, Old Bai Wu Chang took the initiative to greet her:

"How's Bai Wuchang? Have you adapted to the pace of the underworld?"

He looked much better now, as if the weakness he felt before leaving the temple was fake.

"You should call me Tian Baozhu." It was still awkward to be called Bai Wuchang by the original Bai Wuchang. Tian Baozhu suddenly remembered:

"You weren't there when Lord Yama made the announcement. How did you know that Bai Wuchang's focus had shifted to farming?"

Tian Baozhu couldn't help but wonder if Old Bai Wuchang had a hidden ability called predicting the future. Otherwise, how would he know that he would hand over his position just when the King of Hell was about to reorganize the underworld and announced farming?

Old Bai Wuchang smiled. He took a small object from under Tian Baozhu's sleeve, a flying insect. In his hand, it transformed into a metal object that looked like a flying insect. "Let it stay with you for a while."

How does that sentence go?

[Good hunters often disguise themselves as weak prey]

Old Bai Wuchang is smiling, but he is even scarier than the Black Wuchang who has a stern face all day long!

※※※

"Y-You put a tracker?!"

"Being able to hear conversations between companions is only a small part of its function. It's mainly used to combat the overly dense ghost and death energy in the hall. But seeing as you're so full of life, you should be fine without it. Ah, you're indeed a recently deceased ghost, full of energy."

Old Bai Wuchang laughed heartily, his hair flying, the burnt ends still very conspicuous. He also noticed it.

"Alas, I have long ago warned the King of Hell not to throw fireballs carelessly. If he doesn't hit the flowers or plants, he will hit his subordinates. He forgot my advice when he got angry."

Well, if it’s possible that she heard correctly... Old Bai Wuchang... is he... led by Cricket?

"So, Lord Yama is not good..."

"It's okay. I told him that to his face."

“?!”

"Because of me and Hei Wuchang, our work alone supports 80% of the underworld's business. He's afraid of us slacking off. If you become Bai Wuchang for a long time, you'll be able to be so tough too."

"Ohhhh...ok I understand."

So this was the overwhelming power of absolute strength? She had learned a lesson.

"The salary for this month in the underworld will not be paid until next month. Although your work-related expenses can generally be recorded as expenses in the underworld, you still have to pay for personal purchases in the ghost market. Take this and use it when you need to buy something." How magical! When the metal worm was handed to her, it turned into a golden coin in the shape of a worm.

Old Bai Wuchang stood up from the stairs and brushed the dust off his trouser legs.

"Okay, I've explained everything I need to say, and it's time for me to go."

Why doesn't it sound like a retirement, but more like the final words of an old hero before his death...

"You're not going to die, are you?"

"Dead?" Old Bai Wuchang laughed, "I'm already dead enough to die. The underworld is filled with death. The worst fate in the underworld is not death, but disappearance.

It vanished without a trace, not even a scrap was left. The wind blew away all traces.”

Old Bai Wuchang was speaking with a smile, but it made Tian Baozhu feel cold all over.

"Don't worry, I'm also hard to kill. I won't disappear that easily.

Little girl, you won't regret it, right?"

Tian Baozhu, do you regret being the White Impermanence? When she heard the White Impermanence ask her this, Tian Baozhu reviewed her life in her mind.

After some experience with the underworld, she found that it was not as scary as she had imagined when she was alive on earth.

Old Bai Wuchang was smiling, the accountant looked gentle, and although her colleagues with green faces and fangs and the ox-headed and horse-faced demons looked a bit scary, they actually respected the employee hierarchy. Even the biggest boss, Lord Yama, knew how to cherish talents and would encourage her kindly.

It is quite consistent with the workplace atmosphere she longs for.

Except for the difficult colleague next to her...but she is no longer the same person she was at the beginning. At that time, she was worried about being exposed, and it was normal for her to be scared under the questioning of Hei Wuchang. But now she has the protection of Lord Yama and the official confirmation of Bai Wuchang's identity, so she can hold her head high.

She is also a regular employee of the underworld.

It is normal to have one or two colleagues who don't get along with each other. What she should do is not to waste her emotions here.

Some people might dislike their colleagues, but who wouldn't dislike someone who can get the job done? And she happened to be one of those people who had no complaints about her work.

As long as she is allowed to sort out her logic, her internal motivation is terrifyingly strong.

"No, I really like being a White Impermanence who can farm."

"That's good, let's go."

Old Bai Wuchang walked into a door he drew out of thin air and disappeared.

※※※

Hei Wuchang had been watching from a distance. Tian Baozhu thought, not bad, at least he had the awareness of working together with Hei Wuchang and did not leave her alone.

She walked towards Hei Wuchang, but the ill-fitting Bai Wuchang clothes still made her stumble.

As she walked, she thought to herself:

Let’s go to the ghost market first, buy a set of suitable clothes, and then buy some suitable farming tools.

"Senior, please lead the way to the ghost market." Tian Baozhu walked up to Hei Wuchang and patted his shoulder in a friendly manner.

Click.

(⊙_⊙)? !

She thought she heard the sound of bones breaking? Was it an illusion?

"Cough!!" Hei Wuchang's violent cough told her that this was not an illusion.

"You, you, you, are you okay?!"

"Don't cough near me, stay away from me!" Hei Wuchang coughed and distanced himself from her.

"I won't touch you, don't leave yet—"

Tian Baozhu, who was chasing Hei Wuchang's footsteps, looked at her hand that had just patted Hei Wuchang's shoulder in surprise.

"Did I really, use that much force?"

Black Impermanence, seems to have a slightly crispy skin...? Even crispier than her, a former college student.
