Chapter 5: Job Application

"Could you buy a few more bottles of wine next time? Two bottles are simply not enough to drink," Guangyuanzai smacked his lips, looking unsatisfied. In the celestial realm, Guangyuanzai almost never parted with wine, drinking as much as he wanted every day, with no restrictions whatsoever.

"Can you obtain ginseng from previous years?" asked Guangyuanzai. Generally, ginseng from previous years is a rare and precious natural resource. If Guangyuanzai could consume some ginseng, it would be of considerable assistance in restoring his celestial abilities

Lin San glanced at the employees and said loudly: "Manager Li is nothing but a bastard!" After saying this, he angrily left the company

Bai glanced at Lin San and Guo Yuanzi disdainfully said: "Do I need money if I personally take action?"

"Bestow upon you my magical power? I have very little left of my own; if I were to give you more, how would I pursue the fleeing celestial being?" Guangyuanzai shook his head repeatedly

"Are you saying that your words don't count?" Lin San's eyes widened.

In the evening, Lin San recited the human acupoints throughout the night

Lin San exerted all his strength to push his way to the front of the crowd, sweating profusely.

"Forget it, once I stabilize my injuries, I will go out and find some spiritual medicine to consume; it should be effective," Guangyuanzai said, pouting.

Lin San looked at Guang Yuanzi with suspicion, not understanding what Guang Yuanzi was doing. Drawing?

The recruitment advertisement broadcast today is much more detailed than last night, listing several conditions for applicants. Firstly, it requires that the age must be between 24 and 35 years. Secondly, applicants must have at least a college diploma. Furthermore, it is required that applicants must understand martial arts and have a good physique, with preference given to those who have served in the military. Lastly, the advertisement also states that a series of assessments will be conducted during the recruitment period

Guangyuanzi stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said, "This is a talisman I made temporarily"

Lin San had previously practiced calligraphy and had a considerable collection of brushes and ink stored at home. He retrieved the brushes and ink from his bedroom and handed them to Guangyuanzai

Due to the large number of people, the queue became excessively long, affecting traffic, and ultimately several lines had to be formed.

Guangyuanzi took a look at the kraft paper and said: "The quality and the illustrations are too poor, but it can be used for the time being. Do you have a brush?"

Guangyuanzi waved his hand and said: "Do not be anxious. Although I cannot pass my magical power to you, there are other methods."

"Spiritual medicine? Are you referring to ginseng?" Lin Sanyi was taken aback; in his mind, ginseng should be considered an extremely precious spiritual medicine.

"I am resigning, I will not continue!" Lin San said, and with that, he slammed the door and left the manager's office

Lin San stood up and pulled Guangyuanzi to sit on the sofa, smiling ingratiatingly: "Um, Master Guangyuanzi, I would like to apply for a security job, but the employer requires applicants to be skilled in combat. I have rarely exercised since childhood and do not know how to fight at all. You are a deity; could you possibly impart some of your magical powers to me? This way, I can showcase my prowess during the interview and succeed in getting the job?"

"Delightful!" After Guanyuanzi finished the last bottle of Erguotou, he wiped his mouth with his hand and shouted loudly

Lin Sanyan turned his eyes and leaned closer to Guangyuanzai, saying: "Great Immortal, if I eat ginseng, will it be very helpful for practicing immortal techniques?"

Lin San furrowed his brow and said, "My age is appropriate, my education is also suitable, but it seems I don't understand this combat thing."

Hmm? Lin San came to his senses and looked up at Guang Yuanzi: "What’s wrong?"

At this moment, a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, walked out of the office building of the Dingsheng Group. He was quite tall, about 1.8 meters. As he emerged, he took a large megaphone from behind him and said, "Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet"

Half an hour? That is equivalent to one hour? That is sufficient, Lin San said with a smile

Lin San stood up straight, appearing to listen attentively. Since he had come for the interview, he was determined to make a good impression on the hiring officer

Lin San nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I will not do it anymore"

Lin San was pushed to the middle of the line, which was the result of his desperate struggle; otherwise, he would have certainly been pushed to the back of the line

"It's settled then. I will meditate first and talk to you later." After saying this, Guangyuan walked to the side, sat cross-legged on the floor, placed his hands naturally on his knees, slightly closed his eyes, and began to breathe evenly.

Ah? Lin San furrowed his brows, his face revealing an expression of extreme disappointment. He had originally thought he had found a shortcut, but after all this time, it turned out to be nothing but an empty fantasy.

Guangyuanzi shook his head: "I have said that my magical power is nearly depleted, and it is impossible for me to pass any more onto you"

"You were doing well at your job, why are you looking for a new one?" asked Guangyuanzi

Manager Li's attitude is very indifferent; regardless of Lin San's reasons, he simply does not agree to grant Lin San leave.

Lin San's eyes widened in surprise: "So impressive?"

Lin San smirked and said, "Ginseng from previous years is quite expensive; I certainly don't have the money to buy it for you." Ginseng from previous years can cost at least several tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. There was a report in the newspaper about a wild ginseng plant over 900 years old discovered in a large mountain, which sold for a staggering 3 million. Lin San is just a struggling worker; even if he sells his blood and flesh, he cannot afford to buy ginseng.

"However, you must remember that this talisman, though powerful, has a time limit. Its effects will disappear after half an hour, so unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to use it," said Guangyuanzai.

Early the next morning, Lin San dressed neatly and arrived at Taitung Road. As soon as he reached the entrance of the Dingsheng Group, he was taken aback to see a sea of people at the entrance, with no fewer than a thousand individuals present.

It is quite a coincidence that an advertisement for the recruitment by Ding Sheng Group is currently being broadcast on television

Lin San said, "I hope you don't bring me trouble." After finishing the instant noodles, Lin San washed the bowl, turned off the television, and went to the bedroom to begin studying the techniques from the booklet. Lin San specifically purchased a book on human acupoints from the library, and whenever he had free time, he would open it to familiarize himself with the acupoints of the human body. The number of acupoints in the human body is quite extensive, especially since the names of the acupoints are particularly difficult to remember. Lin San spent an entire night and only managed to memorize a little over ten acupoints, and those were the very simple ones.

"No, just give me a tiny bit of magic power," Lin San pleaded.

Lin San was somewhat displeased; the book of immortal techniques that Guangyuanzi had given him was indeed not very easy to cultivate. He wondered how long it would take to master it.

As soon as Qian Mingguang finished speaking, several security personnel emerged from the building and organized the crowd into a line.

Lin Sanru joyfully held the talisman depicting Guangyuanzi, feeling an immense happiness in his heart

Deal! Lin San clapped his hands and said: "Guangyuan Zixian, quickly transmit your magical powers to me."

"What method?" Lin San asked anxiously

"Kraft paper? Let me see if I can find some." Lin San stood up and rummaged through the cabinets, and indeed found a stack of Kraft paper.

"Do you have kraft paper here?" asked Guangyuanzi

"Four bottles are too few; it's not satisfying to drink. I want six bottles," said Guangyuanzai.

You?" Guangyuanzi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "In principle, it is possible, but..."

Early the next morning, Lin San arrived at the company

Around noon, Lin San arrived at the manager's office

"What talisman?" Lin San was momentarily taken aback. "What talisman?" Lin San had seen ghost-catching movies on television, where the sorcerers used a type of yellow paper to create talismans. The talisman drawn by Guangyuanzi was clearly different from the ones used by the sorcerers on TV.

As soon as Lin San entered the office, he wasted no time and directly stated that he wanted to take a leave of absence

The effect is negligible; the spiritual energy here is too thin. I have been meditating all day, yet there has been no improvement at all. It seems that to restore my powers to their peak, it will likely take a considerable amount of time. " Guangyuanzi sighed, his expression somewhat gloomy

Guangyuan Ziyi was taken aback: "Help with what?"

Guangyuanzi picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw on the cowhide paper

Lin San looked up at Guang Yuanzi, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Guang Yuanzi, the Great Immortal, you must help me."

Lin San glanced at Guang Yuanzi and asked, "Can you restore your magical power by meditating like this?"

Because... Lin San did not know how to explain it. He certainly could not tell Guang Yuanzi that he wanted to get close to the daughter of the chairman of the Ding Sheng Group. After thinking for a moment, Lin San said: "Because the salary for this security job is high, it is twice my current salary. Don't you love drinking? The more money I earn, the more I can buy you drinks!"

Qian Mingguang stated that the basics are similar to the job advertisements broadcasted on television, merely consisting of restrictions such as educational background, combat skills, and age.

Lin San's eyes immediately widened, intently listening to the television screen

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Qian Mingguang, and I am the Director of the Human Resources Department at Dingsheng Group, specifically responsible for this security recruitment. I will now read out the application requirements...

"You should focus on practicing the immortal techniques I have given you. As long as you succeed in your practice and improve your own constitution, at that time you will be able to consume some ginseng products to enhance your strength," said Guangyuanzi.

"No." Manager Li said

Upon seeing someone from the Dingsheng Group emerge, the crowd gathered at the entrance immediately fell silent

"Do not rush, take your time," Lin San said to comfort.

"Guangyuan Zixian, as long as you help me succeed in the job application, I promise to buy you 4 bottles of wine every day." Lin San began to coerce and entice.

Lin Sanyi exclaimed: "You better not mess around."

You truly are a wine immortal, very well, I will buy you a few more bottles tomorrow. Lin San smiled, for a celestial being, their capacity for alcohol is indeed great; no matter how much they drink, they will never get drunk

Qian Mingguang spoke for a full ten minutes. After outlining the application requirements, he said: "Now, please line up, and we will begin the interview process."

Buy wine?" Guangyuanzi felt somewhat tempted

After venting his anger, Lin San felt much better. During his time working at the internet company, he had endured a lot of pressure from Manager Li. At first, in order to keep his job, Lin San had to tolerate it. However, the words spoken by Manager Li today were simply too harsh, pushing Lin San to his breaking point. Furthermore, since Lin San no longer intended to work at the internet company, he lost control of his emotions and erupted in a fit of rage.

"But what?" Lin San hurriedly asked. And the books.

I will speak frankly with you; your constitution is somewhat weak. If you were to consume some aged ginseng, I fear you might not be able to handle it.

If you have no other matters, I will go meditate. Having said that, Guangyuanzai stood up and walked to the side to begin his meditation

Upon leaving the company, Lin San couldn't help but curse loudly: "Damn Manager Li, I curse you to have children without eyes! Damn! Inhumane scum!"

"Everyone, please take out your ID cards and educational certificates," Qian Mingguang said, instructing several security personnel beside him to check each person's ID cards and educational certificates to ensure they meet the employment requirements

Manager Li watched Lin San's departing figure and smirked, "When did Lin San become so principled?"

Noticing that it was getting late, Lin San bought 4 bottles of Erguotou at the supermarket by the roadside and took the bus directly home

"Ginseng? I suppose so, but I want ginseng that is aged." Guangyuanzi nodded.

"I can't believe there are so many people applying for the job. The appeal of Dingsheng Group is indeed extraordinary," Lin San sighed.

Uh? Manager Li was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"Rest assured, I am measured in my actions." Guangyuanzai said, reaching out to stroke his long beard

Lin San picked up a piece of cowhide paper the size of a palm and examined the pattern on it closely. It resembled a Taiji symbol, yet also looked like a house: "Guangyuanzi Daxian, what have you created here?"

Lin San took a deep breath and said, "Manager Li, are you really not going to grant me leave?"

After a short while, Guangyuanzi set down his brush and blew on the finished parchment, saying, "Alright, take it away."

"The Strength Charm, as long as you stick this charm to your chest, your strength will increase several times, making you a strongman," explained Guangyuanz.

Upon entering the house, Lin San handed the wine to Guangyuanzai and walked over to the sofa to sit down, casually turning on the television.

The employees looked at me, and I looked at them, each displaying an expression of disbelief on their faces

A large crowd of employees is gathered around the office door, watching the commotion
