Chapter 982: Colleagues Who Slack Off
Seeing the panicked Ba Dou, Xiao Han quickly and carefully inquired about its physical condition.
After some experimentation, she finally understood.
The Heavenly Dao of this mortal world is quite powerful; even an outsider as strong as Ba Dou had his cultivation completely suppressed.
Ba Dou can fly freely in this space, but it cannot use its cultivation power at all.
No wonder it could fly into the county town without any resistance; it was because, like the mortals in this world, it couldn't bring any super-powerful destruction to this place.
Then why can't I enter? This place is clearly within my jurisdiction as the local earth god!
Xiao Han decided to give it a try.
She slapped the barrier with her palm.
Of course, this palm strike was not made using her own cultivation level, but rather using the combat power of the Earth God.
The barrier trembled, but it didn't break, though it shook violently.
Just as Xiao Han was about to make another move, an angry voice rang out, "Who is disturbing this goddess's sleep?"
Immediately, a young-looking man with the appearance of a cultivator appeared before them.
The other person glanced at her and immediately recognized her identity, "The new local earth god?"
Xiao Han asked in surprise, "You know me?"
The other person rolled their eyes. "You're wearing the phantom image of the Earth God on your outside, aren't you?"
Then he asked, "Why aren't you staying in your own little temple? What are you doing here?"
Xiao Han retorted, "Who are you?"
With a flick of his sleeve, the other party conjured a phantom image of a temple in the void.
Upon seeing the words on the plaque above the main hall of the temple, Xiao Han exclaimed in surprise, "City God Temple?"
Then it dawned on me, "You're the City God?"
The cultivator opposite nodded.
"Are you also a senior Divine Lord from the Divine Palace, here to do a mandatory mission?" Upon encountering someone of the same kind, Xiao Han immediately struck up a conversation with enthusiasm.
But when she called her "senior," the other person immediately knew her true identity: "Are you here on behalf of someone else?"
After all, this mandatory task is only done when one reaches the Divine Lord Realm. Xiao Han addresses him as senior, which clearly indicates that he is only at the True God Realm.
Xiao Han didn't hide it and nodded directly.
These kinds of things are best kept from superiors, not subordinates.
The City God cultivator asked again, "What do you intend to do by attacking my restrictions?"
Xiao Han said a little embarrassedly, "I wanted to take a stroll around the county town, and I discovered that there was a barrier here. Out of curiosity, I touched it."
The City God cultivator said, "There's nothing to see in this small, run-down county town in a mortal kingdom. I advise you to do what I did: create a barrier to block out demons and monsters, then shut down all your senses and fall into a deep sleep. Once a hundred years have passed, go back and report."
This is a summary of tips from many experienced players who have done mandatory tasks, and it's the easiest way to complete this task.
He couldn't help but complain, "If you hadn't disturbed me, I would have slept until the end of a hundred years. Now that there's less than a year left, it's not good to sleep anymore."
Sleeping wasn't an option, but staying awake was boring. After all, aside from protecting the county town from demons and evil spirits, the City God had no other duties to perform.
If he can ensure the safety and tranquility of the county town, then he will have definitely passed the mission.
As for the local earth god cultivator next door, he was a whole realm lower than him, and they weren't familiar with each other before, so they didn't have much to talk about.
Xiao Han quickly apologized again, saying that she really didn't mean it.
Now that a local earth god had appeared, the city god cultivator was too lazy to set up a barrier to guard against demons and evil spirits. He removed the barrier and went back to wait out the time.
Xiao Han sensed the other party's resentment and felt somewhat embarrassed, but in the end, she still went to the county town for a stroll.
Of course, inevitably, she also saw the City God Temple.
Seeing the grand and imposing temples and the mortals coming and going to offer incense, Xiao Han once again felt disgusted with his own dilapidated temple.
Of all the gods worshipped in this mortal kingdom, her temple is probably the most shabby.
Never mind, there will be bread. Ugh! I mean, there will be a grand temple.
After touring the county town, Xiao Han obediently returned to work, listening to the various prayers of ordinary people.
After all, the act of praying for rain had already established the reputation of the Earth God as very effective.
As for his fellow cultivator, Xiao Han had no intention of trying the "slacking off technique" taught by the City God.
Not only that, she also decided to go all out.
That night, Zhao Qinghe, a female scholar from Xialing Village, lay in bed after turning off the lights, looking melancholy.
She passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve and became a renowned talented woman in the surrounding area.
However, until she was nineteen, she was unable to make any further progress and pass the imperial examination to become a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations).
To continue her studies, she repeatedly refused her family's idea of getting married. In the end, her family forced her to marry by threatening to stop paying her tuition.
Just then, Zhao Qinghe's grandfather passed away, and she had to observe a year of mourning, which temporarily saved her from her family's pressure to get married.
With her year-long mourning period coming to an end, and the prospect of being pressured into marriage again, Zhao Qinghe was so worried that she couldn't sleep.
She didn't want to get married, and she didn't want to be trapped in her own little family for the rest of her life, living a mediocre life.
But fate always seemed to play tricks on her. In her three attempts to become a scholar, she always encountered unexpected distractions that prevented her from taking the exam in peace, and ultimately she failed to make the list.
She was unwilling to accept this fate. She wanted to continue taking the imperial examinations and become a government official, a position where she could realize her ambitions.
Zhao Qinghe had considered finding a husband's family willing to continue supporting her studies. However, marriage would force her to have children. Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding would all be stumbling blocks preventing her from continuing her exams.
This is also the biggest reason why she doesn't want to get married.
But no matter how much she thought about it, she didn't know how she could hold on until the next provincial examination.
Just then, a crisp "ding" sound suddenly rang in her mind.
Immediately afterwards, an androgynous voice rang in my mind, "Hello host, I am System 118, and I will serve you wholeheartedly."
Zhao Qinghe screamed in fright, then covered her mouth with her hand.
It was the middle of the night, and she was afraid of scaring her family.
In fact, even if she shouted, the sound wouldn't leave the house.
"Hello host, I am System 118, and I will serve you wholeheartedly. Please bind with me."
When that voice rang in her mind again, Zhao Qinghe finally stopped screaming.
She asked tremblingly, "Who are you? And what is System 118?"
The voice said again, "You don't need to speak aloud. Just silently say what you want to say in your heart, and I will hear you."
It then explained, "118 is my number, and as for the system, you can think of it as a treasure of the gods."
Zhao Qinghe had completely calmed down by this point, and she continued to ask, "How do I bind it?"
The system immediately said, "That means you agree to let me exist in your mind. I will give you tasks in the future, and you will receive generous rewards as long as you complete the tasks."
Although Zhao Qinghe still didn't understand what this thing was, her fear had disappeared.
After all, if the other party were a demon or monster, it probably wouldn't need her consent to stay in her mind.
The system is a treasure of the gods, so does that mean she might have a chance to change her fate?
