Chapter 5 Job Application

  "Huh?" Lin San came back to his senses, looked up at Guang Yuansu and asked: "What's wrong?"

  "Can you buy a few more bottles next time, two are not enough to drink." Guangyuanzi smacked his lips, with an expression of not having had enough. In the immortal realm, Guangyuanzi almost always had wine in hand, drinking as much as he wanted, without any restrictions.

  "You're really a wine immortal, okay, tomorrow I'll buy you a few more bottles." Lin San smiled, the god's capacity for wine was indeed great, no matter how much he drank, he wouldn't get drunk.

  "It's settled then, I'll go meditate first and talk to you later." After saying that, Guangyuanzi walked to the side, sat down on the floor with his legs crossed, placed his hands naturally on his knees, closed his eyes slightly, and began to breathe evenly.

  Lin San glanced at Guangyuanzi and asked: "Can you recover your magical powers by sitting like this?"

  "The effect is minimal, the spiritual energy here is too thin. I've been meditating for a whole day and haven't seen any improvement. It seems that it will take a long time to recover my former magical powers." Guangyuanzi sighed, his expression somewhat gloomy.

  "Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Lin San comforted.

  "Whatever, I'll just stabilize my injuries first and then go find some spiritual medicine to eat. It should be effective." Guang Yuansi said with a pout.

  "Panacea? Are you referring to ginseng?" Lin San was taken aback. In Lin San's mind, ginseng should be considered a very precious panacea.

  "Carrots? Alright, but I want last year's carrots." Guangyuanzi nodded.

  Lin San's eyes rolled around and he leaned in close to Guang Yuanzi: "Great Immortal, if I were to eat ginseng, would it be very helpful for my cultivation of immortal techniques?"

  "Really?" Guang Yuansu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "In principle, it's possible, but..."

  "But what?" Lin San hastily asked.

  "I'll be honest with you, your physique is a bit too poor. If I were to give you some high-quality ginseng that's been aged for many years, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it." Guangyuanzi said what was on his mind.

  "Ah?" Lin San furrowed his brow, and a look of extreme disappointment appeared on his face. He had thought he found a shortcut, but after all the commotion, it turned out to be just an empty fantasy.

  "You should focus on practicing the immortal method I gave you, as long as you successfully cultivate it and improve your physical body, then you can eat some ginseng to enhance your strength." Guangyuanzi said.

  Lin San's mouth was crooked and he felt somewhat unhappy in his heart. The immortal method that Guang Yuansu gave him was really not good for cultivation, and he didn't know how long it would take to practice it successfully.

  "Can you get last year's ginseng?" Guangyuanzi asked, generally last year's ginseng is a heavenly and earthly spirit thing, if Guangyuanzi can swallow some ginseng, it will be of some help to the recovery of Xianfa.

  Lin San shook his head: "Last year's ginseng was expensive, I don't have the money to buy it for you." Last year's ginseng cost at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. There was a newspaper report before that said a 900-year-old wild ginseng was found in a big mountain and sold for as much as 3 million. Lin San was just a poor working-class man, even if he sold his blood and flesh, he couldn't afford to buy ginseng.

  Bai Led Lin San with a glance, Guang Yuanzi said disdainfully: "I'll take care of it myself, do I still need to use money?"

  Lin San was shocked: "Don't mess around!"

  "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Guangyuanzi stroked his long beard with his hand.

  Lin San muttered to himself, "I hope you don't get me into trouble." After finishing his instant noodles, Lin San washed the bowl and turned off the TV. He went to his bedroom to study the spells in a small booklet he had bought from the library. The booklet was an illustration of human acupoints. Whenever he had some free time, he would flip through it to familiarize himself with the acupoints on the human body. There were countless acupoints on the human body, and their names were especially difficult to remember. Lin San spent a whole night studying, but he only managed to memorize about ten or so of the simpler ones.

  The next morning, Lin San arrived at the company early.

  It was almost noon when Lin San arrived at the manager's office.

  As soon as Lin San entered the office, he didn't waste any words and directly said that he wanted to ask for leave.

  Manager Li was very cold and no matter what reason Lin San had, he just wouldn't agree to give Lin San a leave.

  Lin San took a deep breath: "Manager Li, are you really not going to give me leave?"

  "No," said Manager Li.

  Lin San nodded: "Alright then, I quit!"

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

  "I quit, I'm done!" Lin San said, slamming the door and walking out of the manager's office.

  Manager Li looked at Lin San's departing back and slanted his mouth: "When did this Lin San become so spirited?"

  A large crowd of onlookers gathered outside the office door.

  Lin San glanced at the employees and said loudly: "Manager Li is a son of a bitch!" After finishing, he left the company in a huff.

  The staff looked at me and I looked at them, with an expression of incredulity on their faces.

  As soon as he left the company building, Lin San couldn't help but curse loudly: "Damn you, Manager Li! I curse you to have no children! Bastard! You're inhuman!"

  After scolding, Lin San felt a lot better. Working at the internet company for this period of time, Lin San had not endured less of Li Manager's temper. At first, in order to keep his job, Lin San could only endure it. But today, what Li Manager said was really too unpleasant, making Lin San unable to bear it anymore. Plus, since Lin San didn't plan on working at the internet company anymore, he no longer controlled his emotions and burst out scolding loudly on the spot.

  Look at the sky, it's getting late, Lin San bought 4 bottles of Er Guo Tou from a supermarket by the road and took the bus directly back home.

  As soon as he entered the house, Lin San handed the wine to Guang Yuanzi and sat down on the sofa, turning on the TV with a casual hand.

  What a coincidence, the TV is playing an advertisement for Ding Sheng Group's recruitment.

  Lin San's eyes immediately straightened up and listened intently to the TV screen.

  The recruitment advertisement played today is much more detailed than last night, listing several conditions for application. First, the age requirement must be between 24 and 35 years old. Second, the applicant must have a college degree or above. Third, the applicant must know martial arts and have good physical fitness, with priority given to those who have served in the military. Finally, the advertisement also stated that a series of assessments will be conducted during the recruitment period.

  Lin San furrowed his brow: "The age is right, the education is also right, it's just that this fighting thing I don't seem to understand."

  "Ah!" Guangyuanzi finished his last bottle of Erguotou, wiped his mouth with his hand and shouted loudly.

  Lin San looked up at Guangyuanzi and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Guangyuanzi, great immortal, you must help me!"

  "What's the help?"

  Lin San stood up, pulled Guang Yu Zi to sit on the sofa, and smiled: "Hey, Guang Yu Zi, I want to apply for a security job, but the other party requires the applicant to know martial arts. I've never exercised since childhood, so I don't know how to fight at all. You're a god, can you give me some magical powers? Let me show off my skills during the interview and get hired?"

  "Pass on my magical powers to you? I myself have only a little left, if I pass it on to you, how can I go after the escaped Heavenly God?" Guang Yuanzi shook his head repeatedly.

  "Not you, just pass a little bit of your magic power to me." Lin Sanshu asked.

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

  "Because..." Lin San didn't know how to explain, he couldn't tell Guang Yuanzi that he wanted to get close to the daughter of the chairman of Ding Sheng Group, after thinking for a moment, Lin San said: "Because this security job pays well, it's twice my current salary, you love drinking, right? As long as I earn more money, I can buy more wine for you!"

  "Buy wine?" Guangyuanzi's heart skipped a beat.

  "Guangyuanzi Dashen, as long as you help me get the job, I promise you, I'll buy 4 bottles of wine for you every day." Lin San began to intimidate and entice.

  "Four bottles are too few, I'm just getting started, I want six bottles." Guangyuanzi said.

  "Deal!" Lin San clapped his hands: "Guang Yuansu Da Xian, hurry up and pass the magic power to me."

  Guangyuanzi shook his head: "I said, my magic is almost exhausted, it's impossible to pass it on to you."

  "Are you kidding me?" Lin San's eyes widened in anger.

  Guangyuan waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry, I may not be able to pass on my magical powers to you, but there are other ways."

  "What method?" Lin San hastily asked.

  "Do you have parchment here?" Guangyuanzi asked.

  "Kraft paper? I'll go take a look." Lin San stood up and rummaged through the boxes, and actually found a stack of kraft paper.

  Guangyuan took over the cowhide paper and looked at it: "The quality is too poor, but it can be used as a makeshift, do you have a brush?"

  "Here!" Lin San had practiced calligraphy with a brush before, and there were many brushes and ink at home. Lin San found the brush and ink from his bedroom and handed them over to Guangyuanzi.

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

  Lin San looked at Guang Yuanzi in surprise, not understanding what Guang Yuanzi was doing. Painting?

  Before long, Guangyuanzi threw down his brush and blew on the cowhide paper: "Alright, take it away."

  Lin San picked up a piece of cowhide paper the size of his palm, carefully examined the pattern on it, which looked like both a Tai Chi diagram and a house: "Guangyuanzi Dasheng, what is this thing you've come up with?"

  Guangyuanzi stroked his beard with his hand: "This is a temporary talisman I made."

  "What talisman?" Lin San was taken aback: "What talisman?" Lin San had seen movies about catching ghosts on TV, where the Taoist priests used a yellow paper-made talisman. The one Guang Yuansi drew looked completely different from those used by the priests on TV.

  "The Power Symbol. As long as you stick this symbol on your chest, your strength will increase several times, becoming a powerful warrior." Guangyuanzi explained.

  Lin San's eyes widened: "So fierce?"

  "But remember, this token is powerful but has a time limit. Its effect will disappear after half an hour, so unless it's absolutely necessary, you'd better not use it." Guangyuanzi said.

  "Half a time? That's just an hour? Enough." Lin San smiled and said.

  "If you have nothing else to do, I'll go meditate." After saying that, Guangyuanzi stood up and walked to the side to start meditating.

  Lin Sanruo was overjoyed when she received the treasure and held up the painting of Guangyuanzi.

  At night, Lin San recited human acupoints for a whole night again.

  The next morning, Lin San came to Taidong Road early in the morning. As soon as he walked to the entrance of Ding Sheng Group, Lin San was shocked. There were thousands of people at the entrance of Ding Sheng Group.

  "My goodness, there are so many people coming for the interview? The appeal of Ding Sheng Group is indeed extraordinary." Lin San exclaimed.

  At this time, a man in his 30s, wearing a suit and over 1.8 meters tall, walked out of the office building of Ding Sheng Group. After coming out, he took out a loudspeaker from behind him: "Everyone, please quiet down, quiet down."

  As someone from Ding Sheng Group came out, the crowd surrounding the entrance suddenly fell silent.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I'll start with a brief introduction. My name is Qian Mingguang, and I'm the head of the Human Resources Department at Ding Sheng Group. I'm in charge of this security recruitment process. Now, let me read out the recruitment requirements..." the man said loudly.

  Lin San exerted himself greatly and finally squeezed his way to the front of the crowd, exhausted and covered in sweat.

  Qian Mingguang said basically the same as what was broadcast on TV recruitment ads, nothing more than restrictions such as education background, combat skills and age.

  Lin San stood up straight with a serious expression, as if listening attentively. Since he had come for the interview, he wanted to make a good impression on the recruiter.

  Qian Mingguang spoke for over ten minutes and after finishing the introduction of the recruitment conditions, he said: "Next, please line up in order and start the recruitment process."

  Qian Mingguang had just finished speaking when several security guards came out of the building and organized the crowd into a line.

  Lin San was squeezed into the middle of the team, which was still the result of Lin San's desperate struggle, otherwise he would have been squeezed to the back of the team.

  There were too many people, so the queue was too long and affected traffic. In the end, several queues had to be formed.

  "Everyone, please take out your ID cards and diplomas." Qian Mingguang said, instructing the security guards beside him to check everyone's ID cards and diplomas in their hands to see if they all met the hiring requirements.
