Then all my cultivation as an immortal has been for nothing?

Chapter 1 An Internship Adventure
As Wang Yi walked through the company gate, he thought to himself that he had to get through the internship no matter what.

The main problem is that I graduated from university almost a year ago, and I've changed jobs several times but haven't been able to get a permanent position. My savings are almost gone.

Wang Yi has moved from a shared apartment costing 1,000 yuan a month to a rooftop attic costing 300 yuan a month. He has no way to get a refund on the rent, and if he continues, he will have no choice but to stay overnight in an internet cafe.

The most valuable things Wang Yi owns right now are his mobile phone and Yangcheng Tong card; his X Fubao and X Xin wallets together cost less than a hundred yuan.

Even the meager salary during the internship was like a lifeline for Wang Yi.

As for his parents, Wang Yi could ask them for money, but on the condition that he return to his hometown to start preparing for the civil service exam.

Of course, some people might say that taking the civil service exam is so comfortable, with parents supporting you and all you have to do is study for the exam. But Wang Yi doesn't want to choose that option. He believes that a good man should be self-reliant, and at 23 years old, it's too shameful to be supported by his parents.

So, I must make the most of my first day of internship!
We'll talk about the rest after we get through today!

With this in mind, Wang Yi walked into the fully automated gate of the new company.

Upon entering the hall, he saw a large group of people gathered in one corner, clearly distinct from the "office workers" who were smoothly passing through the turnstiles with their work cards.

Based on his intuition, Wang Yi felt he should go to that group of people.

He had just started walking in that direction when he suddenly spotted an oddball among the group of "kindred spirits".

Someone actually did cosplay instead of wearing formal attire on their precious first day of internship!

Do you realize that this is the golden time to make a good impression on your future boss and the HR (human resources management) who holds the power of life and death?
Of course, as a "veteran" who has gone through several internships, Wang Yi has seen interns dressed in strange outfits before. For example, when he interned at his second company, he saw a young woman wearing what he called a Lolita dress. He later learned that she was the daughter of the company's CEO and had joined the company with the intention of taking over the family business.

Wang Yi couldn't help but take a few more glances at the cosplayer; she had fair cheeks, snow-white hair with a hint of blue, and golden pupils.

Wang Yi knew a little about cosplay and knew that the girl's snow-white hair must have been expensive, and her lifelike ears must have been the latest model with mechanical skeletons.

When the girl turned her head, her ears actually moved along with her body movements. It even has motion sensing! This must be a custom-made cosplay outfit, with an astonishingly high price.

Sure enough, it must be some rich young lady who's here to have fun.

Could she be the young lady of this company?

In that instant, Wang Yi had already mentally rehearsed the entire process from meeting to marriage, even deciding on names for his children. From then on, he would be hooked up with a rich and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life.

At that moment, the voice of a white-collar woman pulled Wang Yi back to reality.

"Hello everyone, new colleagues. I'm Hao, the Human Resources Manager in charge of new employee training. You can call me—"

One of the newcomers shouted, "Scarlett O'Hara!"

Wang Yi sighed, thinking that this greenhorn must be doing his first internship and his mind was full of self-help platitudes about showing off and proving himself.

In fact, letting the HR manager know that you've read "Gone with the Wind" and that the heroine's name is "Scarlett O'Hara" will not help you stay with the company at all!

Of course, it's possible that some bosses who like to be unconventional might like this style, but the larger the company, the less likely it is to work!

Wang Yi checked the company lobby again. A company that occupies such a large building is definitely not an innovative company that values ​​innovation. This literary youth who knows "Scarlett O'Hara" is out!
Great, one less competitor!
It's been a year since graduation, and it's time for a new batch of "leeks" (a metaphor for new graduates) to sprout again.

Wang Yi looked at the young junior who had just shown off with some pity; the latter seemed to think he had done a good job.

Manager Hao spoke up: "You can use that passion in the ice-breaking session later."

After speaking, Manager Hao wrote something down on his tablet.

At that moment, Wang Yi noticed that the girl with blue and white hair was staring at him.

More people are staring at the girl.

Manager Hao: "Very good, it seems everyone is here. Please come this way, let's go to the company's psychological recovery area to start the first icebreaker activity, which is also the first lesson of your new employee training course."

That "literary youth" just shouted, "Are we going to play a mini-game now?"

Manager Hao simply smiled and gestured: "This way, please put on your augmented reality glasses. This will create an augmented reality image to guide you to the correct elevator."

Oh my gosh, augmented reality glasses too! Aren't these trendy gadgets that haven't even been released to the public yet? Isn't using them for new employee training a bit of a waste?

Wang Yi silently began to calculate how much money he could make by stealing the glasses and selling them on Zhuanzhuan (a second-hand marketplace app).

Then he realized that besides his mobile phone and Yangcheng Tong, he only had less than a hundred yuan left in his possessions, and his excitement for the new technology vanished instantly.

For dinner tonight, I can first buy a bottle of mineral water for two yuan, and then go downstairs to the supermarket to buy a pack of instant noodles for one yuan and fifty cents...

With that in mind, Wang Yi walked up to the company employee who was distributing the glasses.

A pair of glasses was shoved into Wang Yi's hands.

Wang Yi looked at the glasses with a puzzled expression. They looked like ordinary non-prescription glasses, and their weight was almost negligible.

Has technology advanced to this point?

when?
Wang Yi put on the glasses with a puzzled look, and then an augmented reality arrow appeared in front of him, looking just like a tutorial in a game.

Manager Hao: "This is our company's latest equipment. It was originally developed as a next-generation holographic game machine, but now we have found that it can be applied to many aspects such as new employee training and rapid learning."

"Please follow the blue arrows and keep moving forward."

Wang Yi looked at the huge blue arrow and stepped forward.

The others followed him.

The group of people were quickly led into an elevator.

Manager Hao stood at the elevator door and smiled at everyone: "In the psychological recovery area, others will be there to greet you. So, good luck to everyone."

After speaking, Manager Hao bowed to everyone.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

Then, a feeling of weightlessness came over me.

Wang Yi blurted out instinctively, "Is the elevator going down?"

"Yes, after all, ley lines are all underground." A voice came from the side.

It's that cosplay girl.

When Wang Yi met her gaze, her ears twitched, like a cat's.

“Your ears—” Wang Yi was about to speak when the “augmented reality” glasses began to play a series of mottled images, making Wang Yi feel as if he had fallen into an abstract oil painting.

Wang Yi: "My glasses seem to be broken!"

No one answered.

He raised his hand, ready to take off his glasses, but suddenly a thought popped into his head: this might be some kind of test, and taking off his glasses would mean losing his chance to be hired.

But are there really such outrageous tests?
Wang Yi heard the sound of someone falling down.

He immediately took off his glasses, only to find that the people who had just entered the elevator with him were all lying on the floor.

All of their glasses—without any light or shadow display—looked like ordinary non-prescription glasses.

Wang Yi looked down at the glasses in his hand and found that they had returned to their original state, and no matter how he looked at them, they didn't seem to be able to display the vibrant colors they had just displayed.

"What's going on?" Wang Yi asked the other person still standing in the elevator—the cosplaying girl.

The girl smiled slightly.

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Manager Hao was outside.

The girl pointed a thumbs-up at Wang Yi: "This guy noticed me when we were in the lobby. It seems he drew an SSR this time!"

Wang Yi was completely confused: "What do you mean? You were just sitting there perfectly fine."

The white-haired girl pointed to her temple: "Come on, use your brain! How could you be the only one who notices someone dressed like me in a crowd? Normally, a whole bunch of people would be taking pictures of me!"

Wang Yi immediately covered his phone's camera: "You reminded me, I didn't secretly film you! Don't send me to jail—"

Wait a minute, given the current situation, going in seems like an option too. You won't have to worry about food, clothing, or shelter, and you can learn a skill. Maybe you can even find like-minded people to play in a band.

Ah, that makes sense.

At this moment, Manager Hao sighed and said, "Why do I feel like we've found a fool this time?"

Wang Yi suddenly snapped out of his reverie, pointing at himself: "Silly boy? Me?"

Manager Hao pointed at the white-haired girl: "Since you said he's an SSR, then you'll be in charge of training the newbie."

White-haired girl: "Huh?"

Manager Hao: "You haven't teamed up with a partner in a long time, have you? I think this silly kid is pretty good; he looks like he really wants to touch your ear."

Wang Yi: "I didn't. No, that's not important, so what exactly happened? Someone explain this to me!"

Manager Hao: "You want a job, right?"

Wang Yi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, I really want to!"

Manager Hao: "Then do you want to cultivate immortality?"

Wang Yi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, but immediately felt it was inappropriate and shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, no, I am a very pragmatic person and have never fantasized about cultivating immortality."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an employee wearing a yellow vest pushed a cart full of "new employees" lying on the ground past him.

Wang Yi stared at the carload of people: "Is it... okay to leave them like this?"

"No problem, no problem."

As soon as Manager Hao finished speaking, a shoe fell off the cart with a thud.

Wang Yi: "If a shoe falls off, in most movies that would mean death, right?"

As a result, the employee pushing the cart hooked the shoe back onto the cart with his foot, where it ended up mixed up with the mess of other things.

Manager Hao: "Once it arrives at the resurrection treatment department, it'll be lively and energetic again by the evening, so don't worry about it."

?

Return... return to life?
Manager Hao glanced at Wang Yi and snapped his fingers at the white-haired girl: "The rest is up to you. Be a good mentor to her."

After that she left.

The girl let out a long sigh, her hands hanging limply, behaving like a character from an anime.

Suddenly, without warning, she slapped her cheek hard, the crisp sound making Wang Yi shudder.

Then the girl raised her head, her face red from being slapped, and said loudly, "Let's start from the beginning! First, let me introduce myself. My name is Elsa!"

Wang Yi: "Huh?"

Elsa: "It's a—werewolf! That's important!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

At the same time, the Human Resources Department Assessment Division of Kunyu Energy Group.

Manager Hao walked into the room and greeted the old man who was standing on the high platform in the middle, looking down at all the operating stations: "Master Zhao, a new person in elevator number 13 has passed the test without any discomfort, and he saw Elsa, who was assisting with the test, quite early on."

"He should have a fairly good spiritual root."

Zhao Xianweng opened his thermos, took a sip of weak tea, and then replied, "Our test results show that number 13 is just an ordinary earth spirit root."

Manager Hao frowned: "An ordinary earth elemental root? But he is indeed immune to all our suggestion spells."

Zhao Xianweng: "The Earth Spirit Root already has high resistance. The Assessment Department recommends giving it a C-level contract."

Just then, an operator turned around and said to the old man, "Old Zhao, come and see."

"Transfer it to my tablet." Zhao Xianweng said, putting down his thermos, slowly picking up the tablet, and carefully reading the readings on it.

Manager Hao asked with concern, "How did it go?"

“There are some abnormal readings on the 13th; we haven’t observed similar reading patterns before,” Zhao Xianweng said, staring at the tablet.

"Should we revise his rating?" Manager Hao asked.

The immortal shook his head: "No, he is indeed an ordinary earth spirit root. His overall spirit root strength is only 22, and his earth affinity is slightly higher, but it is still only 66. A C-level contract is enough."
