You've never been beaten up, have you?

【Eastern Kitchen God's Shrine】

【Effect: The fully awakened Kitchen God statue is inhabited by the divine will of the Kitchen God, who is in charge of food, oversees the Kitchen God, and protects the home (the Kitchen God's divine will can be summoned to the mortal world through the rituals of inviting gods and calling spirits).

Current residual offering effect: Laba porridge (medicine)

This is a gift left over after the Kitchen God consumes his energy; consuming it increases lifespan, strengthens the body, cures all diseases, relieves worries, and greatly enhances one's fortune within a year.

Zhang Wei now understands why the staff specifically mentioned the importance of sincere prayer; it turns out that sacrificial offerings can indeed change according to one's intentions.

Of course, as someone who personally experienced the descent of immortals to earth, Zhang Wei should have the most feelings about this.

Although Zhang Wei was filled with mixed emotions, he still followed the staff's advice and sealed and stored the remaining sacrificial offerings.

While waiting for the application results, he casually opened the internship handbook and took a look.

The booklet was very simple, only seven pages long, and focused on introducing the duties and scope of work of the inspectors.

The internship period is not much different from what the two inspectors described before, but after becoming a full-fledged employee, one can switch to patrol or garrison duty depending on their needs.

As the name suggests, the former mainly roams between the mortal world and various silhouettes, suppressing demons and monsters to ensure the silhouettes land smoothly in the mortal world. The latter, on the other hand, works with violent colleagues to guard the mortal world or the present world. The second option is generally used for patrollers whose path forward is blocked, or whose bodies or cultivation have temporarily encountered problems. Under normal circumstances, although patrolling is dangerous, everyone is still more willing to choose this direction.

It's worth mentioning that the booklet also introduces the silhouettes of the newcomers. Thanks to the special silhouette mechanism, the silhouettes of the newcomers are generally from an era closer to the present world and are relatively easy to obtain, but external forces are also prohibited from entering.

However, with the rapid decline of mythology and supernatural tales over the past two decades, the silhouettes of newcomers, who were originally close to the progress of the modern era, have begun to shift towards the past, with the current mainstream now reaching the 70s...

So even though the silhouette has fallen into the secular world, there are already many patrols and heavy firepower outside the silhouette that are eager to fight. They have to wait for the new travelers to complete the main storyline, or for the silhouette to open up on its own, before they can move in.

The specifications for silhouettes are generally divided according to the size of the area.

Most of the silhouettes of newlyweds are taken at home (such as buses and dormitories, which are completely enclosed spaces and fall under the category of home and residence).

The scope of the silhouettes ranges from small to large, including houses, villages, towns, cities, prefectures, states, and dynasties.

Silhouettes of cities and prefectures are relatively common and easy to conquer, but when it comes to silhouettes of large-scale eras like provinces and dynasties, not only does the amount of content in the silhouettes increase, but the various monsters and monsters also become much stronger. It's normal to see monsters from the Ming Dynasty in a Qing Dynasty silhouette, and if you're unlucky enough to be thrown into a harsh environment, there's even a chance to encounter ancient creatures from the Song and Yuan Dynasties...

In addition to the basic introduction related to silhouettes, there are various kinds of rare and precious materials, indexes of demons and monsters, and existing integrated cultivation levels (realms) adapted to the current version.

The booklet lists roughly seven realms from lowest to highest: Spiritual Awakening, Innate, Hundred Apertures, Earthly Branches, Heavenly Stems, and Yin and Yang. There should be more beyond that, but the booklet doesn't record them. Zhang Wei, having experienced the silhouettes, can roughly guess from the current cultivation levels that the path to immortality likely leads after Yin and Yang.

While he was flipping through the booklet and pondering, the staff member responded to his application. The staff member came up to Zhang Wei and said, "Intern Zhang, your application has been approved. Please follow this passage. There will be an official inspector to assess your abilities and determine if you meet the genius criteria..."

The staff were concise, and Zhang Wei was equally efficient.

After walking around for seven or eight minutes, he finally arrived at the testing site.

Seven men and women dressed in different styles stood at the edge of an area that resembled a small arena. While Zhang Wei was observing his opponents across the examination room, they were also observing Zhang Wei.

"Is this the bastard who broke into the Thousand Serpent Cave using that disgusting method?"

Before the staff could speak, one of the examiners, a young woman in special attire with two brightly colored venomous snakes coiled around her shoulders, and who was of exceptional figure and appearance, suddenly spoke.

Zhang Wei's initially good mood was instantly ruined by this one sentence.

Where did you learn this bad habit of prejudging people by their identities? If you have, then so be it, but why be so blunt and sarcastic?

From the guesthouse to the police station, the journey was so smooth that Zhang Wei actually thought everyone in the world was a good person. Now it seems that he was overthinking it. Abstract things are not uncommon these days!

No sooner had she finished speaking than someone next to her frowned and said, "Liu Ruyan, have you been reading too many erotic novels? You're a member of the Liu family, you may love snakes but others don't, let alone a bunch of harmful demons. Should we just kill them and keep them as offerings? If you're going to bring this kind of temper to your job, don't come here as an examiner. We'll be colleagues in the future, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Exactly, if you want to play these games, go to the real world or the internet, don't make the Bureau a mess."

"Ha, just some harmful demons and monsters. I only regret that I didn't have the brains to come up with this method. Human radar, oh no, snake radar, searching as you go, killing on sight...tsk tsk tsk, when it comes to pulling off tricks, it's the young people who do it. We can't even understand the silhouette tricks they use now!"

"..."

The other examiners chimed in, each offering their own opinion. As Liu Ruyan's fair and delicate face flushed and a faint mist rose from her cheeks, a staff member quickly interjected, "No, no, that person's inquiry process isn't finished yet. This is a newcomer from Chi Town, applying for the 'genius clause.' We'd appreciate it if the six examiners could give her some extra consideration!"

As he spoke, the staff member gave Zhang Wei an apologetic look.

Before coming, he tried to save time by skipping some procedures, but he didn't see the famous madman who wasn't on a mission and was on vacation.

This was a mistake on his part, so he naturally needs to make amends as soon as possible.

As for why an ordinary person like him would speak so bluntly, daring to turn seven examiners into six, and not being afraid of trouble afterward... First of all, the bureau has strict regulations. Secondly, anyone who can work as a logistics staff member in this place with the highest security is someone with connections.

Oh, so you're the patrolman? I don't have a relative who's a patrolman?

整？

Then go ahead and do it. Anyway, you broke the rules first, so when the board comes down, it'll break your leg first!

Seeing the smiling and nodding examiners, the staff member turned to Zhang Wei and said, "Inspector Zhang, you can choose one of the six examiners. As long as you can last for ten minutes, you will succeed. Our field support will arrive around that time at the earliest."

"Thank you for your consideration, and thank you to all the examiners, but I still want to try out examiner Liu Ruyan!"
