I Choose Warehouse Manager

The Swallowed Star world, on the supercontinent where the Virtual Universe Company's global headquarters is located.

As they began their journey to immortality, King Zidian and the others sent them all off the spaceship.

When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, he found many people looking at him with complicated expressions. Before he could figure out what had happened, the Purple Lightning King reappeared in front of everyone.

"Those of you who haven't broken through to immortality," he gestured to those still at the peak of the Realm Lord level, "follow these few; they'll arrange your next tasks."

As soon as the words were spoken, an immortal god stepped out from behind each of the several powerful kings.

"Come with me to join my virtual universe company."

"Those joining the Giant Axe Arena, this way."

"Join the world's number one bank..."

……

The realm lords, clearly somewhat unwilling, left with the five immortal gods, while the Purple Lightning King turned his gaze to Lin Yuan and the others who were still standing in place.

"Congratulations, everyone!" He looked at the little ones in front of him, who could not hide their excitement: "You have successfully broken through to the level of immortal gods and now possess eternal life."

"But there will be plenty of time to be happy later." King Zidian changed the subject: "Now that you have all joined the core of the five major forces, you must complete the tasks assigned to you. Those of you who have joined the Virtual Universe Company, come with me."

"Those who want to join the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, follow me." The gentle voice of the Dream King rang out again. "Little Lilith, come over too. Your grandfather emailed me asking me to take care of you, and your relationship file has already been transferred from the Virtual Universe Company."

"Huh?" Lilith, who was excitedly preparing to leave with Lin Yuan and the others at the back of the group, was dumbfounded.

She finally rebelled once, but her personal file could still be transferred out. Wasn't the Virtual Universe Company supposed to be the strongest of the five major human powers? Even if Grandpa had worked at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank for billions of years, he couldn't possibly have such means!

"What are you still standing there for?" The Dream King frowned slightly, which startled Lilith. Her body moved involuntarily behind him, disobeying the order of a powerful king, even though he was her grandfather's friend.

Lilith watched Lin Yuan disappear before her eyes with a bitter expression and despair, and even her steps seemed to become lighter.

"No!" she cried out in her heart, for it was a love that had ended before it even began.

But if I were to ask her to actually chase after me, I'm sorry, I really wouldn't dare!

Unlike Lilith, Lin Yuan was completely calm, and even felt a little amused.

He viewed this winged girl with prejudice from the beginning, so naturally he didn't have any feelings of love. He believed that her so-called liking for him was just an outburst of racial instincts.

The past three hundred years have proven this point. Although Lilith likes to come to me, every ten years or so she would confess her feelings to other men in different ways. Regardless of whether the other party agreed or rejected her, she would never go to them again. It felt like she was just practicing her skills in pursuing people, rather than wanting to have a real romance with the characteristics of the Winged People.

"Phew~ They're finally gone." Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if they had been assigned to the same department, he would have had to find a way to switch to another department.

……

Soon, a group of people who had joined the Virtual Universe Company like Lin Yuan followed Zi Dian Wang to a spacious hall.

"Everyone here has worked for the outer layers of the five major powers to some extent, so there's not much difference in the core layer." His gaze slowly swept over everyone: "But now the rewards for completing tasks are no longer contribution points and universe coins, but have been replaced by higher-level points. The rare treasures and secret techniques that can be exchanged with these points are also more valuable."

"Alright." King Purple Lightning shook his head and said, "You will all understand these things later, so I won't go into detail now. Let's start assigning tasks."

"Akuri, Stewart!"

He looked at a man and a woman who looked very similar in the middle of the crowd: "You two siblings have been assigned to Chaos City to guide the World Lords who are here for the first time to comprehend the mysteries. Go to the spaceship and wait for me. We will return to the Initial Universe together later."

"Yes, Lord Purple Lightning King." The brother and sister were overjoyed, but they were not particularly surprised by the result.

One of their ancestors was a top cosmic overlord from the Virtual Universe Company lineage. The family also has a king-level expert and more than a hundred ordinary immortal gods, many of whom have a good relationship with the Purple Lightning King.

After crossing the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, the brother and sister sent a gift to the Purple Lightning King, who was in charge of assigning tasks, through a powerful member of their family who had been granted the rank of Marquis. So they already knew that the task they were assigned would be good, but they never expected it to be the best.

They have now been assigned to the initial universe, where they not only have the best cultivation environment, but also accumulate wealth at a rate far exceeding that of their contemporaries. It can be said that they have risen to the top in one step.

King Zidian continued assigning tasks to everyone.

"Maurice, Cynthia... the five of you will be assigned to reception duties at headquarters. Just follow Turn." Another immortal powerhouse stepped out from behind him and led the group away.

"Gu Feng, Mo Tian...you thirty-odd people go to the Xiaofeng branch."

……

Soon, everyone else had finished assigning tasks and left, leaving only the two of them in the hall.

King Zidian carefully examined the young man opposite him and said with a smile, "Lin Yuan, right? You have good talent. Would you be interested in working under me? If you can maintain your current rate of progress, I may consider taking you as my personal disciple."

"This..." Lin Yuan hesitated, but still forced himself to reply, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Zidian, but I promised that if I successfully break through to immortality this time, I would work for the family for two million years without pay. I'm sorry I can't agree to that now."

"What's the problem?" King Purple Lightning asked in confusion. "The two things don't conflict. Wouldn't it be better if you improved your strength under my guidance before working for the family? In any case, immortal gods have endless lifespans, so it's never too late to fulfill your promise."

Lin Yuan bowed respectfully: "What you say is true, but what I comprehend is the fundamental law of flame, and the corresponding superior law is the law of space. Our directions are different, so I would rather take a grandmaster of the Yan Cang lineage as my teacher. Please forgive me, Lord Zi Dian Wang."

The other person nodded. "Is it for future progress? This is also a way of taking responsibility for yourself."

Seeing that Lin Yuan would not change his mind no matter what, King Zidian stopped trying to persuade him and changed the subject: "To be honest, I thought you would definitely agree, so I haven't assigned you a work location yet. This time, I'll give you the right to choose. I'll arrange for you to go wherever you want, except for the Initial Universe."

Since the other party has already refused, as a powerful king, he naturally has his own pride and will not rush to beg. The original benefit of the other party being able to cultivate in the initial universe for a period of time by following him will naturally not be available.

However, King Zidian still had a high opinion of Lin Yuan. He was no ordinary person who could make a comeback after losing the Genius Battle and whose cultivation progress had not fallen too far behind. He had a high probability of becoming a Marquis or even a King in the future. Therefore, it was still necessary to give him some benefits to maintain the relationship.

Furthermore, the right to assign work is granted to individuals by the Virtual Universe Company. This is called using the company's resources to build one's own network, which is entirely worthwhile.

"?"

Lin Yuan hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. He bowed again and said, "Thank you, sir. I would like to take a position in the logistics department. Please grant my request."

"The logistics department?" King Zidian asked, somewhat surprised. "Even if you don't choose the company headquarters, you could choose a branch closer to your hometown. The logistics department, apart from being relatively more free, is less effective than other places in terms of improving your skills or accumulating wealth. Why don't you reconsider?"

"No need, please grant my request, sir," Lin Yuan insisted.

"Alright!" King Zidian nodded. "Since you're so determined, I won't stop you. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me. Go down now and keep an eye on your email. Someone will contact you later."

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

……

Virtual universe, Thunder Island dimension.

This is where members of the Virtual Universe Corporation at the Immortal level and above reside. Countless palaces are scattered throughout the island, each representing an Immortal deity within the company.

In the center of Thunder Island stands a magnificent mountain range, with even more luxurious palaces built halfway up the mountain. The true high-ranking officials of the Virtual Universe Company, the great cosmic venerables, reside here.

As for those majestic palaces that are faintly visible on the mountaintop? They are reserved for the great lords of the universe. Even the most powerful force among the top races, the Virtual Universe Company, only has five such palaces.

But these things are still too far away for Lin Yuan. He has just broken through to immortality and gained the authority to come here for only two things: to build his own residence and to contact someone.

Open the email, carefully consider your wording, and then edit and send it.

"Ancestor Lin Xuan, I have now returned to the original universe and completed my breakthrough. Please send me the location of your residence on Thunder Island so we can discuss the next steps."

Not long after, the other party replied with a message containing congratulations and blessings, as well as a set of virtual universe coordinates. With a thought, Lin Yuan teleported to the outside of a palace according to the coordinates.

The palace is made entirely of precious ice stone, and its exterior looks like a magnificent ice sculpture castle, reflecting dazzling light in the sunlight.

Pushing open the door, Lin Yuan walked in carrying the prepared gifts. The beautiful woman on the throne saw him and her eyes flashed with surprise. She came over and patted his shoulder: "As expected of the genius that we two old guys watched grow up, you have actually grown into an immortal god. It was worth the investment the family made in you."

"No, no, no, our ancestor isn't old at all." Lin Yuan shook his head. "If the two of us went out, people might say you're my sister."

"Haha, Lin Yuan is so sweet-talking. I'm 300 million years old, how could I not be old?" She said this, but the smile on her lips betrayed her true feelings.

"Compared to the endless life of immortal gods, three hundred million years old is just right, possessing both youthful beauty and a touch of mature charm. Otherwise, how could she have captivated Skelli like this?" He continued to shake his head. When facing a woman older than himself, praising her youth is never wrong.

Moreover, judging from Lin Yuan's interactions with Lin Xuan's ancestor and Skoli in the virtual universe over the past few decades, their wedding is imminent. Therefore, it is appropriate to use the fact that she captivated Skoli to demonstrate the ancestor's charm. Otherwise, if she were to say that she attracted a very annoying sycophant, the other party might think that she was provoking him.
