I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

He then got up, took his keys, and went out.

After hearing the door close, Ning Fengwan lay back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Images of the bathroom flashed through the girl's mind, and she began to toss and turn on the sofa, unable to sleep.

……

The next morning, Xue Jing woke up, lifted the covers, glanced at the cat still sleeping beside him, and smiled.

Yesterday, the two of them took some time to cool off. By the time Xue Jing returned home, the awkward atmosphere had dissipated, and their interactions returned to normal.

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

As for how things will develop in the future, and how the events that happened in the bathroom last night will ultimately unfold, let time be the judge.

After making breakfast as usual, Xue Jing's [Cooking Skills] finally reached Lv4, according to the prompt on the panel.

After going out for his usual run and taking a shower at home, Xue Jing set off for Qingda University.

Without stopping, we arrived at the seventh floor of Qingda Library.

In the dimly lit, old library, there was still only one girl, sitting upright on a wooden chair, holding a book in her hands, exuding a tranquil atmosphere.

Today, the girl is not dressed in the previous fitted white T-shirt and tight jeans, but in a black shirt with a beige and gray plaid shirt, tied at the waist to highlight her slender waist. She is wearing fitted black trousers that accentuate her long, slender legs, and simple white canvas shoes.

Because she seemed so novel, Xue Jing couldn't help but glance at her a few more times before taking out the "Crown of the Wicked Woman" and the "Ordinary Glasses" from his bag and placing them on the table in front of Wu Youqing.

"Boss, mission complete." Xue Jing sat down in the chair and smiled.

Wu Youqing closed the book in her hand, blinked, and looked at Xue Jing with her light purple eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, you did a great job this time."

She said softly.

"I didn't expect someone else to interfere. I'm sorry for this unexpected turn of events that put you in danger." The girl's face showed a hint of apology.

Xue Jing shook his head and said, "You're not a god, how could you possibly think of everything? Since I chose to join the company and signed the contract, I've already made preparations. This level of danger is to be expected, there's no need to worry about it."

Wu Youqing nodded and said softly, "That's true... Due to the special circumstances, I will upgrade this containment mission to a C+ rating, and your share of the compensation will also be increased as compensation."

She took a document out of her bag on the seat next to her and handed it to Xue Jing.

"The body of the man you killed was prepared yesterday, and his identity has been confirmed."

Xue Jing took the document and opened it.

The folder contained an ID photo of the man Xue Jing had killed yesterday.

His name is Zhu Yingkun, and he comes from Yuancheng, one of the three inner-ring cities of the fifth metropolitan area.

"This man is a Class C containment officer belonging to the Xu's Containment Company."

Wu Youqing leaned forward slightly towards Xue Jing and spoke.

“But when I contacted the Xu family yesterday, they told me very clearly that they did not assign Zhu Yingkun to carry out this containment mission; it was his own personal action.”

"This is a messy and unsolvable account, and we can only leave it at that—but I don't think the Xu family is trying to shirk responsibility."

"Leaving their own jurisdiction and traveling all the way from the inner ring city to contain a C-level divine relic, this certainly doesn't seem like a mission assigned by the containment company."

The girl whispered softly in front of Xue Jing, her hair falling in front of her eyes, emitting a faint fragrance.

"But whatever the reason, I will have the Xu family take over and give you some compensation."

Xue Jing nodded. "It's up to you to decide."

Anyway, he didn't suffer any losses; he beat the other guy to a pulp.

"Speaking of which, Zhu Yingkun's autopsy report is a bit strange," Wu Youqing said, staring at Xue Jing with a meaningful look.

"Apart from one of his eyes being destroyed, there were almost no wounds on his body, but his internal organs seemed to have been eaten away out of thin air and disappeared without a trace."

"Those kinds of wounds, it's even impossible to detect how they were done..."

Xue Jing rubbed her chin: "Um...can I not tell you, dear sister?"

He didn't yet know how others would perceive his superpower-like ability, Shadow Flame, so it was best not to reveal it for now.

Wu Youqing nodded, saying nonchalantly, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me. Everyone has secrets. It's enough to know that you have the corresponding containment capabilities."

She took something else out of her bag.

It was a black ID card, similar to an ID card, made of obsidian, which reflected slightly under the dim light.

The front features the 'Death of God' outlined in white brushstrokes, and the painting is exquisitely detailed.

On the back were a few lines of text.

Wu's Relics Containment and Research Co., Ltd.

[Specially Appointed C-Rank Divine Relic Containment Officer - Xue Jing]

……

Please vote for me!

Chapter 54 Containment Certificate Privileges, Cat Goddess Bastet

Is this considered a promotion and a raise?

Xue Jing touched the words "[Grade C]" on the card.

"You performed exceptionally well this time. Even with special circumstances, you successfully completed the containment mission. Based on my personal assessment, you are now qualified to become a Class C containment officer."

"This is the highest level I can directly appoint. To go any higher, you need official approval and will have to undergo some special assessments and tests before you can be promoted."

Seeing Xue Jing curiously playing with the card, Wu Youqing smiled and said softly:

"This is a containment certificate, a special license with official authority. Having it will make things much easier for you when carrying out containment missions in the future."

Xue Jing's eyes lit up: "Oh? So now I'm considered an official?"

“They are semi-official personnel,” Wu Youqing emphasized.

Xue Jing fiddled with the containment warrant. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it felt quite comfortable to the touch.

"What specific conveniences will it bring?" he asked.

Wu Youqing pondered for a moment and said, "For example, if you were arrested by the Public Security Bureau after you killed that man yesterday, you could be released on parole and leave as long as you show your detention certificate and explain the reason."

"They will then investigate the specific circumstances and, once they confirm that you have not committed any regular criminal acts, the matter will be closed."

"Of course, if you really commit any crime and use the detention certificate to exonerate yourself, the police department will arrest you again after investigation and confirmation. Furthermore, because you have a detention certificate, you will be judged as a high-risk criminal, and they will directly dispatch very skilled officers, or even take a serious attitude of killing without mercy."

Wu Youqing crossed her arms and said:

"So, this thing only gives you some convenience, it doesn't allow you to do whatever you want."

Xue Jing nodded and said, "Understood."

He stroked the asylum pass in his hand, seemingly reluctant to put it down.

Although it's not about 'doing whatever you want', the feeling of being a 'privileged person' still has a strange and indescribable flavor, but it's also quite wonderful.

"From now on, you will be able to carry out C-level, which is the danger level, and your treatment and subsidies will be improved accordingly. However, as I said before, starting from C-level, the contained objects are quite dangerous, so you have to be more careful."

Xue Jing nodded in agreement.

"By the way, BOSS, now that I've been promoted, my access to information on divine relics should be much higher, right?"

Wu Youqing hummed in agreement, took out her phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and then sent Xue Jing a website link on WeChat.

"This is a website for information on divine relics set up by a special official organization. Click on it and take a look."

Xue Jing did as instructed.

After clicking, I entered a strange website with a completely black background and only an input box in the middle.

“Pick up your containment pass and hold your right thumb over ‘God’s’ face for ten seconds,” Wu Youqing said.

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow, extended his right thumb, touched the picture of 'The Death of God' on the front of the detention certificate, and pressed it against God's face.

Ten seconds later, the white lines on the containment pass suddenly began to move erratically, arranging and combining with each other to gradually form a set of letters and numbers below.

【FDS54#$dfkjs】

"This is a special feature of the containment certificate—'dynamic key'."

"Only with this key, which changes every three minutes, can you log in to this website."

Wu Youqing explained.

Xue Jing nodded, indicating that he understood.

Is this a general's order?

Xue Jing entered the keys one by one into the boxes and clicked login.

The next moment, the screen displayed: [Login successful. Welcome, Class C containment officer, Mr. Xue Jing].

The website page after logging in is quite simple, with a gray and white background. Upon entering, it starts with [GOD-001] and lists countless divine artifact serial numbers.

Each serial number is highlighted and can be clicked to access it.

Compared to the files Wu Youqing had sent him before, the website showed more information about the divine relics, and at least the danger levels of the divine relics were marked.

However, the top 100 artifacts in the serial number all have three question marks next to their level designation.

Xue Jing scanned the area, and perhaps due to his increased access level, he could now see the specific names of some of the top 100 divine relics.

【GOD-018·The Goddess of Death's Unreasonable Favoritism】

【GOD-041·Imperial Palace】

【GOD-051·Forged Through a Thousand Hammers】

【GOD-069·Cinderella Boy】

……

Xue Jing was very curious, but when he clicked on it, he was still prompted with "Insufficient permissions" and could not view the detailed information.

He scratched his head and quickly scrolled down the serial number, landing directly at 【GOD-1391·Cat Tail Ring】.
