Chapter 035 Daily Life
Chen Yunli leaned back in his chair in a daze.
His mind was empty, and he stared blankly at a certain point on the ceiling.
Because he stared at one place for too long, his vision gradually changed from clear to blurred, and then from blurred to clear. Occasionally, colorful blocks of color and spots of light appeared, as mysterious as the cracks in the world, and as magnificent as an illusion.
Chen Yunli seemed to get some pleasure from this process. He stared at it until his eyes were dry but refused to move away. Several web pages flashed continuously under the computer screen in front of him, almost making him look like a disco light, but they failed to attract his attention.
He sat there like this until noon. Half an hour before the end of get off work, the glass door was suddenly pushed open. A burst of hurried footsteps came from far away and finally woke him up.
"Hello... eh?"
Chen Yunli sat up straight reflexively, turned his office chair towards the front of the desk, and his eyes followed the hem of the visitor's windbreaker up to a handsome unfamiliar face.
"Excuse me, who are you?" He scratched his head, looked up at the door, and made sure he was still in his office and not sleepwalking somewhere else.
The audit office of the divine realm's human branch is protected by divine power and usually consciously shields itself to prevent ordinary people from noticing any abnormalities.
Generally speaking, apart from Chen Yunli, no outsiders would set foot in this office - even the gods rarely come here.
Thinking of this, Chen Yunli looked at the man with a wary look.
"My name is You Fangxie." The man adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, removed the black leather briefcase tucked under his arm, spread it on the table, and pulled out a document that was five centimeters thick. "This is a report I recently wrote. Please review it."
Chen Yunli's pupils shook violently.
He was stunned for three seconds before he suddenly stood up. The chair he moved back made a harsh sound as it scraped against the tile floor. "Are you... God?"
He unconsciously lowered the pronunciation of the last word.
You Fang smiled modestly, "Not yet. I'm an intern New God, and I can only become a full-time employee after passing the assessment. One of the assessments is to write ten papers and pass the review. I've already written these, five in total, 20,000 words each."
Chen Yunli's pupils trembled again.
He took a deep breath and, with a slightly trembling hand, flipped through the top table of contents. The table of contents alone was ten pages long, containing the themes, sub-titles, keywords, and 500-word summaries of each paper. The choice of words and sentences was so rigorous and gorgeous that it would be considered a masterpiece on a well-known paper website, where one could only read 300 words at a trial and then pay to unlock the full text. Apart from the outdated topics, it had almost no shortcomings.
How should I put it? It's like five bottles of old wine, wrapped in fancy new packaging.
What’s worse is that he has to drink these five bottles of wine.
Chen Yunli's eyes twitched. Faced with the harsh reality, the melancholy in his heart had long since vanished without a trace. All he could think about was this 100,000-word piece of meticulously crafted nonsense literature, was it really something I was supposed to review?!
"Ahem." Fortunately, he still had professional ethics and didn't show too much reluctance. He pinched the corner of the page and closed the catalog. "Sorry, I'm a field reviewer now. Um... your papers shouldn't have been entered into the headquarters database, so we can't generate the virtual world required for the review, right?"
"Uh... that's true." You Fangxie froze for a moment, her fingers nervously pressing the arm of her glasses on the side of her ear. "But you're the only reviewer in the world... If you can't help me review it, how am I supposed to pass this assessment?"
"That's a question. Wait a minute, I'll ask for you."
Chen Yunli gestured for him to sit on the chair in front of the stage, slid the mouse to unlock the screen, and was about to send an email to the superior god directly under the Audit Department to inquire, when he saw several unread emails in his mailbox, all sent from the God Realm Office.
The first letter informed him that his first field mission had been successfully completed and his vacation and bonus had been paid.
The second and third letters were about job transfers, but they were not directed at him. Instead, they were informing him that the office had hired a new audit clerk who would start work tomorrow.
The last email was a mass email, notifying all reviewers that the assessment of the trainee gods had officially begun. The most basic assessment item was to write ten papers and pass the review. Reviewers were required to review carefully and not be partial. If they found any problems with the trainee gods' thoughts, they must report them immediately. No trainee god with insufficient awareness should be allowed to take office.
Chen Yunli looked at the email, then looked at You Fangxie, and his expression relaxed a lot.
"The Human Office has hired a new clerk who will start tomorrow. Don't worry, it won't affect your assessment." He calmly pushed the papers back on the table and, to divert You Fangxie's attention, found a random topic: "By the way, where do you intern gods work? What are you responsible for?"
"Oh, everywhere. For now, I'm working as a customer service representative for various companies, building my eloquence and training my mindset." You Fang smiled shyly. "After a month of being scolded, the results are remarkable."
Chen Yunli suppressed a laugh and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Okay, take the paper back with you first, and bring it back in a couple of days once the new reviewer is familiar with the process."
"Alright. I'll finish the remaining five papers and bring them along to save me having to make multiple trips." You Fangxie stuffed the papers back into his briefcase. It must be Divine Realm Technology, as the briefcase contained such a thick stack of papers, yet the surface was still flat. "Excuse me, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Chen Yunli, with sympathy for the colleague who was about to arrive and admiration for You Fangxie, smiled and watched him push the door and leave.
After this little episode, Chen Yunli felt a little better. He sat back in his chair, supporting himself with his heels and turning left and right, making a slight creaking sound.
With only fifteen minutes left until the end of the shift, he fiddled with his phone for a while, then suddenly called out in his mind, "System, are you there?"
There was a moment of silence, and then the system's gentle voice came from the speakers next to the computer: "I'm here. What can I do for you, auditor?"
Chen Yunli was startled: "You loaded yourself into my office computer?"
"Yes. From now on, I will be your exclusive system. During working hours, you can ask me any questions you have. If you need help, just call me directly."
"Oh, that's quite convenient." Chen Yunli treated it as a standard benefit for field staff and didn't ask any further questions. "You said before that all the virtual world data that has been reviewed will be saved in the database for future use. I'd like to know how long it usually takes for duplicate data to be used again?"
When he asked, the figure of Chen Wenjian appeared before his eyes.
Nowadays, with the development of technology, paper sex is very popular. Chen Yunli used to have paper dolls that he liked very much, but now they are all overshadowed by Chen Wenjian.
Chen Wenjian is really charming, and has both real and virtual qualities, bringing this charm to the extreme.
If he were born in games, animation, film and television dramas and other carriers, Chen Yunli believed that no matter who it was, they would never forget him after seeing him.
Chen Yunli's liking for him came from his admiration for the paper man, which was particularly sincere and calm.
It is not uncommon to fall in love with a paper man. The love is real, but you will not let him affect your life.
Chen Yunli has always thought this way, so he did not hide his concern for Chen Wenjian.
The system was silent for a few seconds. "All virtual world data is stored in the database, but so far, there has been no precedent for activating old data."
"Because the power of the divine realm is enough to support you in creating countless virtual worlds and virtual personalities?"
"Yes."
Chen Yunli sighed deeply: "The heartbreak came too fast, like a tornado... Next time I review it, I have to avoid getting too close to the protagonist of the paper."
This kind of experience is too much once. If it happens over and over again, even a heart of steel cannot withstand the sulfuric acid of fate.
Having made up his mind, Chen Yunli put aside his confused thoughts, turned off the computer screen and stood up.
"After get off work, let's go eat hot pot!"
…
"Data compression in progress - compression completed."
"Recycling - Recycling failed, recycling again - Recycling failed, recycling again - Recycling lost, lost, lost..."
"System abnormality, alarm, alarm, alarm—"
In the God Realm Office, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the headquarters database. The God of Light, the god on duty today, was originally taking a nap against the World Tree, but he was caught off guard by the alarm and jumped three feet high in fright, almost spraining his ankle when he landed.
"Fuck, what's going on!"
The God of Light held his calf and hopped forward on one foot. When he reached the closed iron door, he stretched out his hand and pushed it.
The moment the door opened, the sound of the waves was as angry and roaring, deafening. A wave several meters high hit him and knocked him down, making him feel cold all over.
"puff……"
The God of Light spit out the little crab in his mouth with a wooden face, and looked around. Inside the door was a vast ocean, which was usually quiet and peaceful, but now it was surging with raging waves. The sky and clouds were dark and connected to the waves, which was depressing and terrifying, making the God frightened.
"I was just lazy for an hour, not sleeping for ten thousand years. How refreshing! The database can still go crazy."
The God of Light muttered as he dried the moisture from his body, then pulled out a device that looked like a mobile phone from his right pocket. He first took a picture of the scene in the database, and then dialed the God King's hotline.
"Hey, Boss, look at what I sent you."
There was silence for a long moment, and then a single word was uttered in a cold, calm, and concise voice: "6."
"Tsk, Boss, please stop reading those mortal novels. They damage your divine nature." The God of Light rubbed his temples. "The database has been quiet for so many years, and now it's suddenly gone crazy. I can't control it. Please come quickly."
There was silence for a moment. "No need. I've signed a transfer order with the highest authority. Send it to the human office now. Everything will be fine soon."
"Transfer order? With the highest authority?"
The God of Light took the "mobile phone" and returned to the main interface to check. He confirmed that a transfer order had been sent to all gods. There was only one sentence on it - to demote the "God King" to the grassroots level for internship, and the internship location would be the branch of the God Realm Office on earth.
“…6.”
At that moment, deep in the sea of data.
A figure sat silently in the depths of darkness, the surging waves surrounding him becoming gentle and pliant.
His jet-black hair fell from his shoulders like swaying green algae or streams of water, winding and piling up beside his wide robe, making his bony hands sticking out of his sleeves look flawless and white.
The God King ended the call, his golden robe fluttering in the flowing waves. His golden hair was tied in a bun across his chest, the ends adorned with silver vines, the flowers on them, once in full bloom, now gradually withering.
He sighed softly, raised his flawless and handsome face, and said calmly and earnestly: "I have already issued a transfer order for you, so——"
"When are you taking this thing off?"
As he spoke, the God King tried to raise his eyes to look towards his brows. A sword as slender as a seedling was just pressing against his forehead, emitting black light as the waves in the sea of data surged.
God King: Sweaty family members.
