"Did you accept Xi Fu's matchmaking system voluntarily?" the fat man asked while staring at the paper.
"No! I was tricked. Xi Da Zui is too cunning. He lied to me, saying he wanted to take me as his apprentice, but I never expected..."
"Yes, it's definitely voluntary." Wang Yao was excitedly stating this, but the fat man seemed deaf, muttering something to himself before putting the paper back into the brown paper bag.
"Now you need to fill out a few forms..." The fat man took out a stack of papers from the brown paper bag, which looked as thick as a book, and handed them to Wang Yao, who was speechless and had no idea what kind of people these two were.
"Right here...?" Wang Yao picked up a thick stack of forms, dumbfounded. He had to fill out so many; he wouldn't finish even if he did it by tomorrow. Besides, why bother filling out forms at all?
"Um...it's right here, and there's nothing complicated about it." The fat man nodded.
Wang Yao picked up the form and saw that he needed to fill in the same few questions that the fat man had just asked. He looked down and saw that almost every form was the same. Damn, even if there are few questions, there are so many. How long will it take to fill them all out?
The tall, thin man handed Wang Yao a pen. Wang Yao took it and started filling out the forms one by one. You know what, the pen was pretty good. He didn't even need to write anything. He just had to hold the pen over the place on the form and the content would appear on its own.
Looking at the handwriting, it was exactly the same as his crab-like handwriting. Wow, high technology! Wang Yao held up the pen and looked at it from left to right, but he couldn't see any difference between it and a normal pen.
"Is there something wrong with the pen?" the tall, thin man asked coldly.
"Uh...no...no!" Wang Yao was startled and quickly lowered his head to continue filling out the forms. The fat man stood beside him, filling out one form at a time and then casually stuffing it into the brown paper bag.
Wang Yao filled out more than ten identical forms in one go and was about to continue when the fat man suddenly spoke up.
"Alright, that's enough filling out. Nobody will look at the rest." With that, she took the stack of forms back from Wang Yao. Wang Yao, completely clueless, just let them say whatever they wanted.
The tall, thin man then took a small card out of the paper bag he was carrying and handed it to Wang Yao.
"This is your salary card. After you bind it, you will be a formal employee of the Marriage Management Section of our Heavenly Court's Office in the Human Realm."
"This... Marriage Management Section? Marriage Management Division? Does this matchmaker have a specific unit? Could it be that there's a whole group of matchmakers here?" Wang Yao was somewhat surprised upon hearing the tall, thin man's words.
"The Heavenly Court is running a deficit and has been laying off staff. Where would they find a group of matchmakers? The entire Marriage Management Department, the Marriage Management Section, currently only has you as the head. You report directly to Lu Xian, the director of the Heavenly Court's office in the human world. If you perform well, you can be promoted to section chief, then department head..."
The fat man said, word by word.
"This setup tells you that your path to advancement is open. As long as you perform well and achieve results, you can surpass us in rank in no time," the tall, thin man added.
"Um...you are both...section-level cadres?" Wang Yao guessed from his simple explanation that the two were both section-level cadres. After all, even if he was below section-level, he could easily surpass them, which would be equivalent to being above section-level.
"Yeah, I'm a deputy section chief, but I get the benefits of a section chief. He just mentioned deputy section chief, so you'd better do a good job." A hint of smugness finally appeared in the fat man's mechanical voice.
Damn it, I never intended to work properly! Wang Yao muttered to himself, then picked up his salary card and looked at it again. It was similar to the bank card in his original world, with a temple-like image on it.
"This is the Heavenly Court Bank's Immortal Pilgrimage Card, specifically for those below the Foundation Establishment stage. Once you level up, you'll receive a new card with more features. Hurry up and bind it; you'll receive your first paycheck on the 1st of next month," the tall, thin man explained to Wang Yao.
"Our Heavenly Court pays salaries very promptly," the fat man said.
"Well, I learned from the system that my current salary is about 5,000 Heavenly Court Coins per month?" Wang Yao was quite concerned about his salary. Since he had already fallen into this trap, being able to support himself was the only good thing.
First, feed yourself; you can't reach the pinnacle of life on an empty stomach.
"That's right, but after deducting 20% for social insurance and housing fund, you'll only get four thousand." The fat man nodded.
"How much is 4,000 in Huadu currency?" After Wang Yao transmigrated, he used his deceased father's savings, so he knew that Huadu currency was similar to the RMB he used before transmigrating. 4,000 a month was not much, but it was enough to make ends meet.
However, the Heavenly Court issues Heavenly Court Coins, such a high-end currency, it should be worth ten times the Flower Capital Coins, right? That's 40,000 a month, not bad, not bad, it's like I've just transitioned into a comfortable life after transmigrating. Wang Yao was dreaming, he just wanted to confirm it again.
"Um... Recently, the value of Heavenly Court Coins has been quite unstable, roughly one to ten." The tall, thin man's voice was slightly somber, but no longer as cold.
Sure enough! Wang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the only thing that made him happy all night. Not bad, not bad. 40,000 a month, that's 480,000 a year. It's not as much as those who consider 100 million a small goal, but it's enough for the average white-collar worker.
After all, before he transmigrated, he was a shut-in at home and might not even earn 3,000 a month.
"How do I bind it?" Wang Yao asked hurriedly.
"Just like the magic weapon you're bound to." The fat man nodded.
Wang Yao was already experienced with this kind of thing, so he focused his mind on the bank card. But nothing happened for a long time. The card was still the card and didn't slip into his dantian like a red thread. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the two of them in confusion.
