Chapter 35: Chapter 35 D-Class Divine Relic Custodian, Twin Lifes Active Unlock
Divine Relic Custodian Company!
What kind of Immortal organization is this, I must join!
Just hearing about it I know there will be many opportunities to come into contact with Divine Relics, and what's the difference between that and letting a mouse into a rice barrel for him?
The only source of Divinity currently is Divine Relics, so any opportunity to come into contact with more Divine Relics must not be missed.
He still doesn't fully understand the function of Divinity, but just a single Twin Lifes is enough to show him its importance.
Having more contact with Divine Relics, what if he activates one or even multiple Divine Skills in the future?
Damn it, if he could have a set of Divine Skills like Twin Lifes that defy logic, then who in this world could stand against him?
"Mmm... I was actually planning on inviting you to join as well," she said, "Since you're interested, that's even better."
Wu Youqing was quite stunned for a moment before replying with a strange expression on her face.
"So where is our company located? I don't mean anything by it, I just want to take a look," said Xue Jing with an unchanged expression.
The girl was rummaging in her bag while saying, "Our company headquarters isn't in Qingcheng... it's a bit far from here, I'll take you there later."
Xue Jing showed clear disappointment, and seeing this, Wu Youqing smiled and said, "It seems you're really interested in Divine Relics."
"There might not be anyone in this world who loves Divine Relics more than I do," Xue Jing sighed.
Upon hearing this, Wu Youqing nodded in satisfaction, "That's the best, our company needs employees just like you the most."
She took a document out of her bag and pushed it in front of Xue Jing.
On the cover were five vertical characters: Employment Agreement.
Xue Jing picked up the document and flipped through it.
It was a contract agreement for the position of 'Divine Relic Custodian.'
It was not much different from a regular labor contract, but it contained additional confidentiality agreements, such as not disclosing one's work outside, and not leaking any research information related to the Divine Relics already in the company's possession, among other things.
There were also some benefits and insurance agreements, such as compensation for disability or death during the containment process...
"... Is a Custodian's job very dangerous?" Xue Jing asked.
Wu Youqing nodded, then shook her head, "Divine Relics are divided into D, C, B, A according to their danger level."
"Since you are just starting, you're classified as a D-level Custodian, the company will only assign 'harmless' D-level Divine Relic containment tasks to you."
"For this level of Divine Relic, if you follow the assigned procedures exactly, there's basically no danger."
"If you grow in the future and rise to a C-level, the 'dangerous' level, or B 'high-danger level', then you will be involved in truly risky work."
Xue Jing suddenly realized, "I see... What about A-level then?"
"A-level is the 'highest danger level'. The harm that this level of Divine Relic can cause is incalculable, potentially affecting an entire city, an entire country, and some might even have a global impact."
"You don't need to worry about A-level Divine Relics for now. Such level occurrences are not something a person or a company can resolve. When that time comes, official agencies will intervene."
Wu Youqing explained.
Xue Jing nodded, "One last question... Why did you choose me to become a Custodian? Just because I've been in contact with Divine Relics doesn't mean I'm qualified to be a Custodian. This job obviously requires enough professional skills. On what basis did you decide that I could be a Custodian?"
Wu Youqing didn't understand him at all, didn't know about his panel, didn't know he was practicing martial arts, didn't know how powerful he would be in the future, and just wanted to hire him simply because he had encountered Divine Relics before, which actually seemed quite strange.
Seeing that Charm Art didn't show any reaction on the panel, obviously, she wasn't captivated by appearances.
At his words, a smile appeared in Wu Youqing's beautiful eyes.
"You're mistaken about one thing," she said softly.
"It's not that 'you came into contact with Divine Relics', but that 'Divine Relics came into contact with you'."
Xue Jing's gaze flashed, as if he understood, "You mean..."
"For many years, through our research on Divine Relics, we've roughly deduced that Divine Relics themselves likely possess some degree of 'personal will'."
Wu Youqing stretched out her hand and caressed GOD-1567, "They... actively approach those who attract them."
"These Divine Relics probably possess some sort of power to influence fate. You might think you encountered a Divine Relic by coincidence, but perhaps... it's not a coincidence at all."
"It's not you who found the Divine Relic, but the Divine Relic that found you," Wu Youqing said word by word.
"The ability to attract Divine Relics is extremely rare. In fact, just by joining our company, even if you do nothing, I estimate that the probability of encountering Divine Relics would increase significantly."
"I am such a person, and because of this unique constitution, I ultimately became the CEO of this company."
"Even... the fate of you and I meeting here might be influenced by a Divine Relic."
Wu Youqing laughed.
"Now you understand why I want you to become a Custodian at our company," she said.
Xue Jing suddenly realized.
So that's how it is...
No wonder the salary is so generous.
Xue Jing glanced at the employment agreement's monthly salary of two hundred thousand, along with the various bonuses and subsidies for successfully containing Divine Relics.
Xue Jing sincerely said, "Salary or not doesn't matter to me, what's important is that I like Divine Relics. I'm willing to join your company, big sis."
...
After signing the employment agreement and exchanging contact information with Wu Youqing, making a pact to contact him whenever there was a Divine Relic containment job, Xue Jing left the library.
First, he went to the comprehensive building's teacher's office at the Affiliated Middle School to ask his homeroom teacher Du Shiwei for leave, then hurried back home.
Upon entering the door, he headed straight for the 'gym', sat down cross-legged in the center of the room, and opened the panel.
[Twin Lifes Lv1 (Divinity required for upgrade: 502/100)]
[Passive: Possesses two lives; can choose when to resurrect within seven days after death, cooldown time: three months]
[Active: Unlocked (Unlock condition: Divinity 502/500, currently unlockable)]
[Divine Incarnation: Unlocked (Unlock condition: Divinity 502/2000, level reached Lv10)]
Xue Jing took a deep breath and clicked to unlock the active effect.
[Unlocked]
[Active: At each Lv1, designate one physical-related ability to produce double effect upon use]
[Currently selectable: Physical Strength, Physical Defense, Action Speed, Reaction Speed, Calculative Ability, Concentration, Memory...]
There were dozens, if not hundreds of options extending beyond, but Xue Jing didn't look closely.
"Designate one ability... to produce double effect?"
Xue Jing pondered, chin in hand.
"Does this mean if I choose 'Physical Strength', then I could have double the strength when using Twin Lifes?"
It was somewhat subtle.
This ability... seemed quite powerful, yet it also seemed... not to live up to the powerful passive effect of Twin Lifes.
Was there something he had overlooked?
Xue Jing fell into contemplation.
"Which ability should I choose for the first one?"
