The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"I just wanted to check if she was working seriously!"

"Hmm... I see. It seems you do have some ideas, huh. But..." At this point, Du Yu changed the subject, sighed softly, and slowly shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Alright then, since it's inconvenient for you to help, then never mind. Thank you for listening to me all this time, farewell!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan turned around without hesitation and left with firm and swift steps, without the slightest hesitation.

"and many more!"

"What else do you want, Senior?"

"I... I've thought about it, and I think it's still possible to assign her to your place, but it will be a bit difficult."

"Then forget it, I won't make things difficult for you, senior!" Chen Xuan cupped his hands in greeting and prepared to leave again.

He knew exactly what Du Yu was thinking; he had seen right through him long ago!

Humans are strange; they never truly appreciate things that are easily obtained.

That's why Du Yu went to such lengths to stage this whole charade. His purpose was simply to make Du Yu feel more grateful to him.

"You...you junior, alright, I've noted this down. You can assign her to your command! However, you must guarantee that she won't be subjected to any forced work. Otherwise, I can't protect you!"

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely keep a close eye on her."

Du Yu nodded, then took out a jade slip from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xuan.

"This is a map from the mine management office, which marks your residence and workplace."

"Thank you, senior!" Chen Xuan accepted the jade slip, secretly smiling to himself.

"Alright, you should go report for duty now." Du Yu waved his hand, indicating that Chen Xuan could leave.

Stepping out of the hall, Chen Xuan was in a very pleasant mood.

This place is practically his paradise! And now that he's got the job of an overseer, collecting Fate Points is incredibly easy for him!

I imagine it won't be long before I get a promotion and a raise, become a general manager, a CEO, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life! Just thinking about it makes me a little excited... cough cough, my thoughts are wandering!

Soon, following the instructions on the jade slip, Chen Xuan headed towards the mine.

Along the way, Chen Xuan encountered many miners. They were all dressed in rags, emaciated and pale, as if they would collapse at any moment, with no light in their eyes.

"No way, what kind of mine is this? These immortals are making it look like a mortal mine!"

Chen Xuan arrived at the mine and found the management office.

Inside the management office, a middle-aged man was flipping through documents.

"Hello, senior. I am Chen Xuan, the new supervisor. May I ask where I live?"

The middle-aged man looked up and glanced at Chen Xuan.

"You're the new supervisor?"

"Yes, senior."

"Come with me." The middle-aged man stood up and led Chen Xuan deeper into the mine.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the middle-aged man stopped in front of a small courtyard.

"This is your residence, come in," the middle-aged man said, pointing to the courtyard.

"Thank you, senior." Chen Xuan said, then pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

The courtyard was simply furnished, with only a stone table and a few stone chairs.

Chen Xuan walked around the courtyard and then went inside. The interior was even simpler, with nothing but a stone bed.

"Alright, tidy up here. Tomorrow is the official start of work, so manage your time well and don't be late." With that, the middle-aged man left.

"Tsk tsk, these conditions are really terrible, but it doesn't matter." Chen Xuan waved his hand, and a pile of furniture appeared in the room.

……

Time flew by, and the next day arrived quickly. Chen Xuan arrived at the mine early, where a few people were already scattered around.

Before long, everyone had officially arrived. Chen Xuan's gaze swept across the room and he quickly spotted Zheng Yaqin, but he still didn't go over to greet her.

"All of you new recruits, come and assemble!" The middle-aged man suddenly appeared.

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around.

"This is our new supervisor, Chen Xuan," the middle-aged man said, pointing to Chen Xuan.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Xuan. I hope you'll all take good care of me in the future." Chen Xuan greeted everyone with a smile.

"From now on, he will supervise all your work. If anyone dares to slack off and gets caught, those slovenly people you saw when you arrived will be the fate of those who slack off! Remember that?"

"Yes!"

"Very good, now you can start working. Begin according to the task categories assigned to you on the slip of paper! The more ore you mine, the greater the reward!"

"May I ask the manager, what kind of rewards are there?!" someone asked, mustering their courage.

"The reward is something you could never even imagine in the lower realms!"

"The miners here will receive a corresponding cultivation level reward for every certain amount of ore they dig up. Moreover, the more they dig, the richer the reward will be."

Furthermore, all the ore you excavate here belongs to the mine. Anyone who dares to trade this ore privately will be ruthless and executed!

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished without a trace, like a ghost.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and it took them a while to come to their senses.

The next moment, several people quickly surrounded Chen Xuan.

Their faces were full of obsequiousness, and they clutched tightly the unique treasures they had brought from the world they had ascended from, eagerly handing them to Chen Xuan while bowing and scraping.

"Hehehe, hello Supervisor Chen, I am..."

It must be said that almost everyone present was an expert in interpersonal relationships, except for those who were blessed with great fortune.

"What's going on here...?" Chen Xuan looked at the group of people in front of him and raised an eyebrow.

"Ahem, Supervisor Chen, you don't need to be so polite. We're just expressing our respect for you! We hope you'll take good care of us in the future and help us have a better life here," one of them explained.

"Oh, I see." Chen Xuan nodded, then calmly accepted the gifts one by one.

Seeing this from afar, Zheng Yaqin's eyes flashed with disappointment. This man was someone who could make her heart race, but she never expected him to be like this... She was very disdainful of Chen Xuan's actions.

"However, I must remind you all that I am a new supervisor and am not yet familiar with the situation here. I hope everyone will abide by the rules, work diligently, and not slack off. If I discover anyone slacking off, I will punish them severely!"

"Understood, understood! Supervisor Chen, we will definitely work hard!" Everyone expressed their commitment.

"Alright, then I'll wait and see," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
