In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 368 Examiners, have you ever heard of 996? (3K views, please subscribe!)

After the written exam, apart from the two hundred candidates who made the list, the other eight hundred were driven out of the examination room.

Among the two hundred people who remained, Su Yuan discovered something interesting.

The candidates who possessed genuine talent but did not use bribery were not penalized with lower scores.

Among the candidates known to Guang Suyuan, or rather Su Youlin, there was one named Qi Junxiang, who came from a branch of a cultivation family in the Cold Plum World. He won thirty-seventh place in the written test thanks to his talent.

He was also one of the only three ascendants from the Cold Plum World who were able to remain after the written test.

The other two are Su Yuan and Hanmei World's richest second-generation immortal, who passed the written test purely with spirit coins and ranked around one hundredth.

Those who spent money were ranked last, and those who didn't spent money were ranked first, which shows that the examiners still had some sense and knew not to praise certain incompetent people too much.

Otherwise, without anyone to get things done, these high-ranking officials wouldn't be able to hold onto their positions.

In the examination hall, thousands of examination desks were removed, and two hundred candidates stood respectfully in place, waiting for the golden divine eye in the sky to conduct the qualification test.

Under the golden divine eye, all cheating will be exposed.

Whether one uses magical artifacts to conceal the true grade of their spiritual root or uses pills to temporarily and forcibly enhance their aptitude, it will all be detected by the Divine Eye.

Of course, the 'celestial skin mask' disguise personally crafted by the Thousand-Faced Heavenly Lord is not included in this category.

Furthermore, the official team also provided a legal cheat tool during the Heavenly Trial, which can solve the problem of failing the Heavenly Trial due to insufficient qualifications.

Pay.

In the Celestial Law World, ordinary spiritual roots are divided into nine grades from high to low.

As long as the quality of the spiritual root reaches level three, it is considered passing; level one is considered excellent; and a heavenly spiritual root is already considered a rare genius.

According to the information in the exam, those with fourth or fifth-grade spiritual roots only need to pay five or six thousand spirit coins.

Even with a sixth or seventh grade spiritual root, one can pass the test with 10,000 spirit coins, but the ranking is not very promising.

Those with eighth or ninth-grade spiritual roots... have no chance of cultivating to the Foundation Establishment stage, so they are naturally not within the scope of consideration.

As for immortal spiritual roots?
Without artificially created immortal spiritual roots, even the descendants of Nascent Soul True Monarchs cannot guarantee that every one of them will have aptitude comparable to immortal spiritual roots... unless they hunt down wild geniuses and seize their spiritual roots.

The Immortal Official Examination that Su Yuan participated in was an ordinary annual examination, and there were no geniuses with immortal spiritual roots who were easily defeated.

The Heavenly Trial began quickly. As the golden divine eye swept over everyone on the field, a new ranking immediately appeared on the golden list in mid-air.

Su Yuan's name was prominently listed first.

[First Place in the Heavenly Trial: Su Youlin: Vicious Blood Spiritual Root (Heavenly Spiritual Root)]

[Second Place in the Heavenly Trial: Wang Yijia: Mysterious Water Spiritual Root (Heavenly Spiritual Root)]

……

Su Yuan glanced at the rankings on the gold list and smiled slightly.

Huai Lingwei and the other four examiners are quite savvy.

In fact, the top five candidates on the list all have Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and three-fifths of them have Righteous Spiritual Roots.

The information broker named Ying Ding was one of them.

Although the Heavenly Law World is corrupt to the core, it outwardly claims to be a righteous world, and it is the kind of world that has an unshirkable duty to combat the demonic path.

Therefore, the mainstream view is that the righteous spiritual root should be superior to the demonic spiritual root.

The fact that the Bloodthirsty Spirit Root ranks first can only mean... this is a small act of power abuse.

"I think this official culture also has its merits."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

He continued reading and discovered that Qi Junxiang, the 'fellow villager' he had noticed before, was ranked over 160th, with a fifth-grade spiritual root.

Looking down at Qi Junxiang, Su Yuan saw that the other party had taken out a money bag and was repeatedly counting all the spirit coins on his body.

But no matter how he counted, he couldn't get five thousand spirit coins, and he was sweating profusely with anxiety.

The official coin-operated time was about to end, and Su Yuan was getting anxious for him.

It's a real shame that a genius who ranked 37th in the written test was eliminated based solely on his own abilities.

Just then, Ying Ding, who had been watching Su Yuan closely, noticed the former's gaze.

When Su Yuan achieved first place in the written test, Ying Ding had already developed the idea of ​​befriending him. When Su Yuan achieved first place in the Heavenly Test, his desire to befriend him turned into currying favor.

Seeing that Su Yuan was so concerned about a poor man, Ying Ding immediately walked up to Qi Junxiang and casually counted out three thousand spirit coins to make up five thousand for him.

This left Qi Junxiang feeling confused.

Before he could thank him, Ying Ding patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Go pay the money quickly, and don't forget to thank Brother Su after the interview."

Qi Junxiang was taken aback at first, then turned his gaze to Su Yuan, his expression a mixture of complex emotions and gratitude.

Su Yuan didn't offer any explanation, but simply accepted the favor.

He infiltrated the Heavenly Law World not to be a lone hero, but to develop his power and strengthen the Yuan Cult while being promoted.

Recruiting some Yuanjiao cadres from the local area is essential.

Ying Ding and Qi Junxiang are quite good.

We need to figure out a way to tie them to our own chariot in the future.

After paying the money, Qi Junxiang's ranking immediately changed, jumping from over 160 to over 80. [As expected of a chosen true demon, you easily cultivated a demonic subordinate during the sacred Celestial Official Examination, and even hinted that this subordinate would use money to corrupt another young talent. You are utterly lawless!]

[Number of rule violations increased by 2]

Hmph, the part about automatically filling in the blanks and automatically increasing the task progress.

Su Yuan pretended not to see the dog system's evaluation and calmly waited for the final exam, which was the start of the interview.

Only 103 people passed the Heavenly Examination. As long as these 103 people didn't perform too outrageously in the interview, they would be able to obtain some kind of official position.

However, whether one is ranked from the ninth rank, the ninth rank, the eighth rank, or the eighth rank depends on the candidate's ability, background, financial resources, and the results of the previous two exams.

The examination room was quickly arranged by the minor officials to separate the examiners from the candidates.

Starting with the 103rd candidate, each candidate will be interviewed individually by the examiners.

After giving the candidates half an hour to prepare, the interviews began quickly.

One by one, the candidates entered, each with only three minutes, so the interviews proceeded very quickly.

Qi Junxiang went in nervously and came out nervously, as did most of the other candidates.

After all, most candidates have nothing left to say by the time they get to the interview stage.

What position you get assigned depends entirely on the mood of the examiners.

Only high-scoring test takers and wealthy second-generation rich kids who are willing to spend money will have a more confident expression.

Soon, the first 102 candidates finished their interviews. Su Yuan, who ranked first in both the written and practical exams, got up and strode into the room where the examiners were, disappearing from everyone's sight.

In a secluded room where no one could see into the room, Su Yuan entered and met five kind-looking examiners.

"Young friend Su Youlin, please have a seat."

The examiner in the purple robe, sitting in the middle, took the initiative to speak, his tone gentle.

Su Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and calmly sat down opposite the examiners.

After sitting down, he recalled his current identity.

On the surface, he is Su Youlin, a demon star from the Cold Plum World, but in secret, he is a disciple of the Corruption Heavenly Lord. He has recruited Huai Lingwei, one of the five examiners, and through her hints, he has influenced the other four examiners to some extent.

Therefore, I cannot show any weakness now; I need to demonstrate the demeanor befitting a second-generation immortal.

Having figured out his persona, Su Yuan spoke directly before the examiners could even speak:
"This interview only lasts three minutes, so time is tight. Let's get straight to the point."

"Uh, okay..."

The male examiner sitting on the far right subconsciously responded, only to realize that something was wrong.

Wait a minute... why do I sound like the one being interviewed?

Go against Tiangang!
Huai Lingwei also hesitated to speak.

Dude, didn't you agree to carry out a secret mission for your master?

Is such arrogance really appropriate?
But thinking of the little baby in her belly, Huai Lingwei ultimately remained silent.

The purple-robed examiner remained silent, his face still bearing a gentle smile.

Meanwhile, the other two examiners in scarlet robes exchanged a quick glance.

Their eyes didn't show anger, but rather a hint of probing.

Judging from Huai Lingwei's hints, Su Youlin has a very powerful background.

But they wanted to see just how powerful a background it took to back such arrogance.

If their background wasn't as impressive as they imagined, they'd just settle for a low-ranking official position.

However, if the other party's background is so powerful that no one can afford to offend them, then it's not something that a mere eighth-rank official can resolve.

As for punishing Su Youlin on the grounds of disrespect for elders?
The examiners hadn't considered this possibility... They've always been very lenient towards the second generation of immortals.

Having secretly set the tone for the interview, a middle-aged examiner in a scarlet robe chuckled and said:
"Candidate Su Youlin, please introduce your strengths in management."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

A talent for management? Isn't this like putting the cards in my hand?

He coughed lightly and said casually:
"I don't have any special skills, but my master... cough cough, an elder of mine once taught me a dragon-slaying technique for management personnel."

Master? This kid really does have a master, and most likely a Golden Core cultivator or higher.

Could it be a Nascent Soul True Monarch?
Every word spoken by such a high-ranking person is something we should all learn from.

The examiners in scarlet robes instinctively sat up straight:

"please say."

Su Yuan leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice:
"Have you examiners ever heard of... 996?"

"996?"

Su Yuan didn't keep them in suspense and briefly explained the details of the "996 Method," concluding with:
"To get subordinates to work overtime willingly on top of the 996 work schedule, you need a combination of measures such as mortgage payments, car loans, and childcare loans to force them to not dare to resign and even to work overtime voluntarily. This is all an art of management."

"As for the advanced version of 996, 007, it is a closely guarded secret of my sect, so I won't go into details here."

The officials in scarlet robes, including Huai Lingwei, were shocked. Even the two high-ranking officials in purple robes, who were of the fourth rank, looked at Su Yuan with a meaningful gaze.

This...this is indeed the dragon-slaying technique of management!
