Chapter 785 Where to Go From Here (12)

Yun Jianxian thought he was one of the smartest sword cultivators.

But after seeing the job requirements, she realized that she couldn't understand any of them.

What does the naming convention mean?
What does it mean that the layers of illusion cannot be interspersed at will?
How to resolve conflicts between spells?

What's with the table configuration?
By the end of the day, Yun Jianxian was so overwhelmed by all this that he didn't even know how he got to the end of the workday.

When she came to her senses, she was the only one left in the entire Feijian Building.

The empty room was devoid of any human presence, while the desk next to the person had been tidied up spotlessly, showcasing the sword cultivator's unique obsessive-compulsive tendencies towards cleanliness.

Yun Jianxian used to really like this trait, which made sword cultivators subconsciously pay attention to their demeanor and always maintain an ethereal and otherworldly air.

But now, she only felt that the other person was disgustingly clean, with no human warmth left, making her feel a little cold.

She shrank back, glanced at the spell in her hand, and knew that she wouldn't be able to finish her work today.

She sighed and saw a flash of magical light outside the window. It was a flying shuttle shuttling between the buildings, leaving behind a trail of magical light in the air, displaying a dazzling array of colors.

Walking to the window, Yun Jianxian took a sip of tea and found that the tea was ice-cold and the tea leaves had lost their flavor.

The magical light in the air hadn't yet dissipated when the multicolored characters combined to form a string of words: "[A life-or-death duel, we'll use the Yun family's magical artifacts. If you don't need them, that's fine; we can sell them to your mortal enemy.]"

"A magical artifact of the Yun family..."

Upon seeing the words "Yun Family," Yun Jianxian felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Escaping the Yun family was just yesterday, but now it feels like years have passed.

During the day, she still had some illusions about her parents and brothers, but after discovering that she was actually burdened with a bunch of lawsuits and that her parents had really pushed all the loans and responsibilities onto her, she knew that Lu Shuangxing was right.

She was truly abandoned by her family and became a discarded pawn.

The four great families of the Upper Realm each have multiple pillar industries, and the Yun family is no exception.

The sword light system is just one aspect; the research and sale of magical artifacts is the main business of the Yun family. The magical artifacts developed by the Yun family are powerful and have boundless power. They are said to have undergone hundreds of experiments and have a good reputation in the buyer's market.

Once, Yun Jianxian was proud of this, but now, looking back, he realizes he was just a caged bird without realizing it.

"Yun Jianxian, you haven't left yet? We can't work overtime here."

Suddenly turning his head, Yun Jianxian immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Lin Yuan, who appeared behind him, "Boss, I'm leaving right away."

"When did I start being addressed like this?" Lin Yuan said helplessly. "You might as well call me 'Boss Squared'."

"Okay, from now on I'll address you as 'Boss Squared'. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Seeing the mix of nervousness and anticipation in Yun Jianxian, Lin Yuan knew he could no longer joke around with sword cultivators.

Their minds are as straight as sword light; they can't think outside the box.

Looking at the twelve-year-old Yun Jianxian, Lin Yuan felt a little guilty.

They've even started using this traditional British practice of having twelve-year-olds do chores themselves.

He felt even more guilty about suggesting that the other person should pursue a grueling career as a programmer.

After asking the other person to sit down, Lin Yuan said to Yun Jianxian, "It's your first day at work, so you might find that this place is a bit different from other places. We mainly do mental work; can you handle it?"

"Absolutely!" Yun Jianxian patted his chest and said, "My intelligence is absolutely top-notch among sword cultivators! What others can learn, I can definitely learn too!"

"Good luck then. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need. It's just a mere spell; I can figure it out with a little thought. Don't worry!" Looking at the Cloud Sword Immortal who was putting on a brave face, Lin Yuan found it rather amusing how he was stubbornly clinging to his position.

As a game designer, he had seen many stubborn programmers, but he had always managed to teach them to be humble and polite.

A planner who can program is great no matter where they are; if they can also understand architecture, then they are even more formidable.

Nodding, Lin Yuan didn't expose the other party, but said to Yun Jianxian, "In that case, I'll wait for your good news. Go back quickly, it's going to rain later."

"Ah... oh."

Carrying the jade slip, Yun Jianxian left the Flying Sword Building, unsure of where to go.

She had originally planned to continue meditating in the Feijian Building, but she had already spent the whole day there yesterday and couldn't continue doing so.

But if she's not in the Feijian Building, she can't go anywhere.

The Yun family has initiated debt collection procedures. The relevant Star Lords have begun investigating her savings and freezing her deposits before using them to repay the debts.

The losses of the Lower Realm Sword Light System were also automatically transferred to her, causing her current account balance to drop to eleven figures.

Negative.

Seeing the numbers plummet like a waterfall, Yun Jianxian was completely overwhelmed and his mind went blank.

Logically speaking, with such a large debt, one should have been forcibly sold off, their physical body and soul circulated freely in the underworld, and eventually ended up in the ghost marriage market.

But now, his debts are growing rapidly, yet no one has come to collect them, which is very strange.

"No wonder Shuangxing sent me to seek refuge with Feijian Sect. The boss and the big boss are indeed powerful; even the Star Lord didn't dare to arrest me. But where should I stay now?"

Her account was full of debt, and she couldn't even find a temporary place to stay.

Because she can't afford the spiritual energy tax, she can't use the jade slips outside. The only spell she can use is the completely free "Non-Sword," which is her only good news right now.

After much hesitation, she was about to ask Lu Shuangxing for help, but she quickly suppressed the idea.

Lu Shuangxing has already helped her a lot, and she can't trouble him any further.

I'll just find somewhere here to spend the night and then go to work.

The Feijian Building is located in the center of the city area, where magical energy is everywhere, and various lights dazzle the eyes.

The laughter and chatter of the cultivators on the top floor could be heard even from the bottom floor, which made Yun Jianxian look up and reminisce about his past.

Just as she was lost in thought, two inspectors walked past her, but turned back after seeing her.

One of them covered his nose and looked at Yun Jianxian, asking, "You stink! Haven't you taken a bath in days?"

Yun Jianxian subconsciously sniffed his own body, then said in confusion, "It doesn't smell bad."

"That's because you're used to it. Where are you from, and what are you doing here?"

"I……"

"Stop wasting your breath on her. She's obviously read too many frivolous novels and is trying to snag a rich husband here. How old are you? Don't even think about that. Go home."

"Oh."

As Yun Jianxian lowered his head and was about to leave, he heard an inspector ask in confusion, "Wait, haven't I seen you before?"
