Hao Ren had a dream.
He wanted to be a chivalrous man, holding the power that others could not. He wanted to walk the world, get rid of the evil and protect the innocent. He wanted to be a hero and be grateful to the people.
Oh, he was nine years old. It was a long time ago. At that time, the "world" in his mind was still limited to the two blocks around the Southern Suburbs Primary School. The upper limit of the powerful people was his class teacher.
In the past two years, Hao Ren's ambitions had become very realistic, just like most people's. He would strive for an above-average monthly income, marry an above-average wife, have one or two above-average children, and he would not have to worry since he already had a house. That was all in his life — up until now.
Now that the turning point of his life was close, Hao Ren felt that he could almost see a different future in front of him. He looked at the woman in front of him who claimed to be a god but did not look normal. He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Raven 12345 did not look surprised. It seemed that she was used to this kind of situation. She already knew how Hao Ren would answer. She just nodded and said, "Well, from today on, you are a basic probationary inspector of the Space Administration. Before you become a permanent employee, you will be treated like an apprentice outside the establishment …"
Hao Ren said, "… Please don't be so detailed. It took me a lot of courage!"
Raven 12345 seemed to smile. She could see that Hao Ren was still a little nervous and confused. "Don't worry, we are not some evil force. Maintaining world peace is such a noble cause. If I wanted to find an assistant in other worlds, the locals would rush to me. But here on Earth, you have entered the stage of development without a god, and it seems that the development is quite fast. So I have not been involved. Even if I find an assistant now, I can only do it in a low-key manner. Don't think that your work is shameful because of this …"
Hao Ren muttered, "Why do I feel that you don't sound like a god? Is a god like this?"
"Don't talk about you, I'm not used to it," Raven 12345 said as she waved her hand. Her tone surprised Hao Ren. "We just changed our accounts a few years ago, and we weren't called God before. Oh, if you are not used to it, you can call us Xi Ling Apostles. That is our race's name. God is our job. "
"Xi Ling Apostles?" Hao Ren chewed on this strange term. "You don't sound like a human … Then how should I address you? Your Highness the Goddess? "
Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry. This woman claimed to be a member of the gods, so he might have to address her as Her Highness the Goddess. But why could he not feel anything? Hao Ren felt that chatting with Raven 12345 was almost like chatting with the big sister in the small supermarket at the corner of the street. Was this the goddess?
Don't you want to light up a halo behind your back? At least don't pick your fingers when you speak, right?
Raven 12345 did not seem to care about this. She played with her fingers and nodded at Hao Ren. "I am not used to it. You can just call me by my name, or call me 12345."
Hao Ren said, "... It doesn't sound like a human name..."
Then, Raven 12345 began to explain to Hao Ren the details of his future "job". In fact, there was nothing much to say. He would just continue to receive the strange tenants. Since there was a werewolf and a vampire in the house, Hao Ren thought he could handle more abnormal creatures — as long as the new guys were as easy to talk to as the two in the house.
"You can rest assured," Raven 12345 patted her chest and promised. "We are very concerned about the lives of our employees. We will not let you fall into a dangerous environment. The people sent to you are all people who have passed some kind of 'test'. We guarantee that they are safe and reliable. You just need to let them eat, drink and live well, and not affect the lives of normal people. This is your current job. There are others in charge of other things, so you don't have to worry about it for now. As for other situations... we will talk about it in the future. Any other questions? "
Hao Ren hesitated but still asked what he was most concerned about. "That... what is going on with Lily? Is it really not arranged by you? "
"No, I've said it before. Only the new tenants in your house will be the result of the organization's arrangement. That werewolf … You can see it as fate. It's because she found you and you seem to be very comfortable with it that I chose you. Ordinary people do not have such a strong ability to accept things, and I happen to need someone who has a strong sense of morality and can withstand this kind of shock as my assistant. "
"I only need to arrange the lives of my future 'clients'. How do you judge this' arranged '? Do you treat me like an ancestor? "
The ultimate goal of all missions is to let human civilization develop as usual. Humans don't need to come into contact with things that are not in line with their current development direction because these things will make them misunderstand the laws of the universe. Humans have a short lifespan, and this short lifespan can lead to a generation or two of misunderstandings that could ruin hundreds of years of development and have a similarly far-reaching impact in the future. Judging from your expression, I think you're starting to get confused, so I'll skip the rest of the explanation, "Raven 12345 said as she took out a stack of papers from the table." Anyway, you're just a basic employee now, and a temporary one at that. You can't understand things that are too complicated, and even if you know, you won't be able to handle it. I will tell you more when the time is right. Please rest assured that I mean no harm, because there is no need for that. Now, come over and sign the contract... "
Hao Ren felt that Raven 12345 was still hiding a lot of things from him, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although Raven 12345 was easy to talk to, she seemed to be very principled. She would never say what she should not say, and Hao Ren himself knew that some things should not be rushed, so it was better to be cautious when he was not clear about everything.
Hao Ren vaguely felt that he had boarded a pirate ship, but he did not have the courage to jump ship. He was sure that he could not defeat any creature in this place, including the fog-like thing just now.
Right now, Hao Ren was staring at the contract in front of him in a daze. The words on the contract were easy to understand, but the content was confusing. The title was "Xiling Empire Space Administration Probationary Inspector Entry Agreement", and the subtitle below it was "Xi Ling Celestials Alliance Agreement". The real subtitle below the subtitle was "Imperial Civil Department Temporary Workers Related Documents". Below that, there was a line of words written in tiny block letters that no one knew if it counted as a title or not: 106th Revision Edition, Revised Edition, Revised Edition, Final Edition, Absolutely No Changes, Even if the Empress of the Empire Orders, No Changes Are Allowed. Personally Written by the Head of the Empire, All Offices Obey.
Further down was the text of the contract. It was easy to understand some employee instructions and the attendance system. It was written that new employees were equivalent to regional level Holy Son, regional level Bishop Candidate, regional level Prophet, regional level Street Officer, regional level Patrol Officer, etc. There was a note at the end that said this was based on the civilization the new employee was in. It was to help the new employee accurately identify themselves.
After that, there was the welfare system that was even more ridiculous. The highest god of the Xi Ling Celestial System had clearly stated that the newly promoted inspectors who converted to the local god (in other civilizations, they were the prophets, the first Inspirer of their race to be enlightened) would enjoy employee welfare, including rice, flour, and oil during the holidays, as well as a monthly expense card allowance. Depending on the civilization and environment they were in, the local god would arrange the above benefits themselves …
Hao Ren looked at the contract and felt like crying. He vaguely felt that this thing looked very familiar, very familiar...
"How is it? The welfare in our unit is not bad, right? " Raven 12345 came over nervously. "I know you didn't have the nerve to ask about the welfare in our unit. I've seen a lot of people over the years, and most of them are very strange. It's as if they always think that working for a god is voluntary work, but our unit definitely won't do that. This contract was drawn up by a few experienced leaders, and they said that it is more in line with the rules of the mortal world. If you don't have any objections, you can sign it. "
Hao Ren was speechless.
He decided that he would never believe in television and novels ever again!
