I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 501 Venus is here to summon the monkeys!
"What a miserable life! If I had known that taking the civil service exam would require being sent to another post, I would have just gotten a permanent position in a public institution!"

Li Xing sighed deeply as he looked at the task assigned by his boss. However, he couldn't refuse, since the one who gave the order was the acting Jade Emperor.
"And it has to be done discreetly. Why be secretive when you're going to your own hero-training plane to find someone? Why not just go under the guise of selecting a hero?"

Although he found it strange, he naturally understood that he could not be careless in being entrusted with such a task, and before setting off, he specifically retrieved a lot of files.

He quickly frowned:
"It's actually one of the three mortal realms of that Ksitigarbha-branded realm? Come to think of it, wasn't that underworld realm already destroyed? Wait a minute!"

As a civil servant who could be directly assigned tasks by the Jade Emperor, Li Xing was quite capable in all aspects. Based solely on these files and the things Zhang Wang had told him, he realized who was hiding this time.

"It seems that finding people is secondary this time; the main goal is to annoy the Buddhist sect!" Li Xing thought to himself, realizing the core objective of this mission.

Finding someone is the minimum requirement; the real task is to investigate the act itself. However, it can't be too obvious, otherwise the act will be too clumsy and easily backfire.

"In short, let's proceed with the normal process of finding people."

Li Xing tidied up his fieldwork equipment. Unlike the standard equipment worn by Delis, a low-level civil servant, his was a genuine fieldwork suit. Apart from the divine weapons exclusive to martial gods, it was considered the highest-standard equipment of the Eastern Heavenly Court.

In fact, he is qualified to wear divine armor, but he is currently in the process of donning it. Even if he obtains divine armor, he cannot wear it, so a standard suit would be better.

"Speaking of which, this genius caused trouble in the underworld, so my descent to the mortal realm this time is somewhat like 'Venus descending to earth to invite the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.' I wonder how much this will speed up my armor-wearing progress. Tsk, what a ruthless person who can cause trouble in the underworld! Maybe he really is a good candidate to become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven in armor! It's just a pity that only monkey-like monsters can wear armor for that divine position. If only we could open a route where humans can also wear armor..."

Li Xing, lost in thought, reached out and opened a passage to descend to the mortal realm. His target, Taibai Jinxing, was someone who seemed incredibly powerful. However, compared to the Jade Emperor, there were far too many versions of Taibai Jinxing, including men, women, the elderly, and children, as well as various reincarnations. Some even claimed to have donned armor by writing poetry and drinking wine.

The path he took was the "secretary route," which meant serving as the Jade Emperor's secretary and armor.

Because of the current armor-wearing system in the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor has to handle a lot of government affairs, which makes the demand for secretaries quite high. This also makes this one of the few roles that doesn't rely on personal wealth but only on professional skills.

Once this path is successfully navigated, one can also obtain related titles such as Martial God or War God. It is considered the easiest path to success for ordinary families in the Eastern system to pass the civil service exam. Moreover, most importantly, there are plenty of positions available, so there is no need to wait in line.

"That's the good thing about the Eastern system. Basically, there are so many big names and figures that you can't even look at them all. If it were the Western system, those who monopolize things, they wouldn't be qualified to come into contact with such a person who is almost equivalent to a god."

Thinking of how even a broken Arhat in the Blissful Realm had to queue up to play the role, Li Xing stepped into the passage with great pride. As the Heavenly Gate operated, he quickly arrived in the mortal realm.

"Anyway, first cast an invisibility spell, then fly higher. By the way, the technology level of this world is not bad, so I also need to add anti-radar spells..." Casting spells one by one and activating the stealth mode of the field suit, Li Xing stood on the cloud, searching for the target's location.

Although he had never seen the target directly, nor obtained the target's soul characteristics, he was able to easily retrieve the world's signature code because of the Jade Emperor's approval. Since the target could cause trouble in the underworld and beat up Ksitigarbha, he was definitely not a native of a hero's world. Therefore, his signature code must be different. Even if he was originally from this world, he must have learned the technology of other worlds.

The only problem is that this screening process takes some time.

"Anyway, time in the lower realm is worthless, so I'll just treat it as a vacation."

Li Xing casually opened a bottle of wine, sipped it, and half-reclined on the cloud, drifting and scanning all the way, leaving all the detection to the equipment.

It's not that he's slacking off. If he could return to the Heavenly Realm, he wouldn't stay in the mortal realm for even half a minute longer. But the problem is that his mission this time is to play the role of a civil servant secretly searching for a target. He has to play all the characteristics that a civil servant should have. As for drinking, can wearing armor really be called drinking?

He even had to slow down the scanning speed to avoid finding it too quickly and thus failing to alert the Elysium to his investigation.

"Ugh, what a miserable life... Holy crap, so fast?"

Hearing the beeping from the device, Li Xing immediately stuffed the bottle into his bag. He was momentarily conflicted, but after a moment's thought, he decided to check it out first. After all, recruiting geniuses was one of the goals of this mission. Confirming the location would provide a safety net. As for what would happen next, he could simply avoid contact for now and wander around the area. Anyway, the Blissful System had a grudge against him, so he didn't need to worry about being poached. In fact, if the Blissful System caused trouble, he could even step in to save them. Then he could recruit them directly...

Thinking of this, Li Xing pressed down on the cloud, and lines of readings flashed rapidly on the retinal projection. His expression also became strange:
"Good heavens, the Demon King? Wait, why is there a wanted notice... Let me see, holy crap? It's a joint notice from multiple companies? It seems like I've been in their Gu-breeding pool. Ugh, they deserve to do this kind of crooked thing! Wait... they even invaded the Land of Exile? Illegal time travel isn't uncommon, but you're really good at it! Are you really going to invite the Monkey King to heaven?"

When Li Xing saw this, his eyes even lit up. He originally thought it would be a tough job, but now he saw that this thing could help him put on armor!

Once he successfully dons the armor, he can slack off on public funds!

How could one not be excited by such temptation?
"Wait a minute, why is there a registered divine power reaction? Holy crap, an Asgardian civil servant? On the wanted list, and from Loki Academy at that... This is troublesome! Wanted criminals from Loki are either idiots or evil gods, or idiot evil gods, those kinds of people are the most troublesome... Hmm? Why is there only a basic reading? Could they be dead?"

Looking at another set of data that almost overlapped with the target, Li Xing wondered if there was something wrong with his equipment. After thinking for a moment, he pressed the cloud button and decided to observe it more closely, at least...

"We can't let those barbarians from Asgard steal the monkey away! (Note ①)"
