How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 50: Received, sir!

"what?"

As Chen Qi was flipping through the documents, he suddenly noticed an event that looked very familiar to him.

"This thing..." Chen Qi pulled out the few paper documents and placed them in front of Wang Shande. "Senior Wang, I accept this commission."

Wang Shande glanced symbolically at the contents of the paper document, then nodded. "Anyway, all the requests here are completely transparent. Unless it's an official order for someone to handle something, you can take them if you want, and get paid based on the final result."

"Okay," Chen Qi nodded, "then leave this matter to me for now."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Nianxu and asked, "Shall we go take a look?"

"I won't go," Shen Nianxu said, having just glanced at the contents of the paper document. "It seems to be just a small commission, not like the ones before, where you have to go to places like Shangqing Palace, Qin's Office, or Wanyao Club."

"You are now a mature practitioner; you should learn to solve problems on your own."

Chen Qi: "I haven't settled the score with you for slapping me just now."

Shen Nianxu: "Oh dear, someone has to watch the shop. The bookstore has been closed for days. Don't you feel sorry for those kids waiting outside?"

Qin Bo: "I also need to consult with Shen Nianxu about the store's operating information, since I've only just arrived."

Hu Yao: "I also have something to do."

Chen Qi stared at Hu Yao. "What do you want?"

"I...I..." Hu Yao stammered for a long time before finally managing to stammer, "I need to poop..."

Chen Qi picked her up from the ground like a chick. "Hmm, it's okay. There's a toilet at our destination. You can go wherever you want."

Hu Yao: "Waaaaah... Sister Shen, save me..."

Shen Nianxu and Qin Bo both selectively ignored Hu Yao's plea for help.

The meaning behind Shangqing Palace entrusting her to the bookstore is quite clear: to let her have more contact with the world of cultivators and not stay cooped up in Shangqing Palace all day.

Xu Yangzi is a cultivator and needs a suitable environment for cultivation, so it is inconvenient for him to go down the mountain.

But Hu Yao is a demon after all, and her cultivation method is different from that of cultivators. Naturally, the more she interacts with the outside world, the better she can learn how to survive normally in human society as soon as possible.

In modern society, if you don't learn how to interact and get along with humans like the monsters in the Demon Club, you'll be eliminated sooner or later.

Xuanqing Zhenren would certainly not abandon Hu Yao at the Wan Yao Club, so the bookstore, where Chen Qi, an "acquaintance," was obviously the best place to entrust him.

Watching Chen Qi and Hu Yao leave the bookstore, Sun Yiyan finally remembered his business. "Senior Wang, there is something I would like to discuss with you."

When Wang Shande entered, he saw Sun Yiyan and knew that the Sun family must have something to discuss with him, so he wasn't too surprised and asked, "What do you want?"

"The main reason I've come is to discuss the new talent evaluation being held in Qingcheng with Senior Wang," Sun Yiyan said. "I know you are in charge of this evaluation, so I've come to ask you for some things that only you can agree to and do."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shande frowned.

The assessment of new practitioners is arguably the biggest and most important event in the cultivation world every year; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the college entrance examination for cultivators.

Every year, major powers rack their brains over this ranking, as it is a significant factor that can be discussed on its own.

Therefore, the annual evaluation of new recruits is actually rife with shady dealings.

However, in previous years, the evaluation of new recruits was basically led by respected seniors or renowned practitioners in the cultivation world, along with the local city leaders. Wang Shande had no control over this, so he tacitly approved it.

However, given that he is the highest-ranking official in this year's newcomer evaluation, Wang Shande, as one of the official representatives, will absolutely not tolerate such things happening.

Wang Shande's expression softened slightly as he glanced at Sun Yiyan. "If it were the Sun family, I wouldn't believe it, but if it's you... it wouldn't hurt to listen. I don't think you'd say anything that would upset me, would you?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the Sun family; it was my own arbitrary decision," Sun Yiyan took a deep breath. "I hope that during this year's newcomer evaluation, you can arrange a suitable opponent for the Sun family representative, so that the Sun family representative..."

"Defeated in the first round!"

……

After leaving the bookstore, Chen Qi put on his headphones and turned on the navigation.

"You little brat, turn left after 500 meters ahead."

A very strange navigation prompt tone entered Chen Qi's ears. Just as Chen Qi was about to follow the navigation instructions, Hu Yao, who had been sulking, looked at the thing in Chen Qi's hand with curious eyes. "Is this a cell phone?"

Although Hu Yao looks to be over ten years old now, for a transformed demon, her temperament is no different from that of a child. Her temper comes and goes quickly; otherwise, she wouldn't have done things like throwing excrement at Chen Qi and laughing loudly.

"Yes," Chen Qi nodded, "What, don't you have one at Shangqing Palace?"

Hu Yao replied, "Yes, there are... but only Master and my senior brother have them. I don't usually have access to them, and Master doesn't let me have much contact with them either..."

No wonder they live in the mountains.

Hu Yao's voice became a little softer, "When I was running the shop alone before, a group of people my age came to read books. One of them didn't like reading, so he took this thing out and did something. I don't know what he was doing, but I know that a lot of noise came out of it, and there was a group of little people inside."

"I wanted to take a closer look, but there were so many people gathered there, so I walked away."

Chen Qi: "..."

Hu Yao tilted her head back, her beautiful eyes sparkling as if brimming with tears. "Tell me," she said, "am I different from them?"

"Stop..." Chen Qi covered his face, raising his hand to stop Hu Yao from further feigning helplessness. "I understand. As long as you obediently help me resolve this matter, I'll buy you a cell phone. Are you satisfied now?"

Hu Yao wiped her tear-streaked face. "May I... make a rather capricious request?"

"...What are your requirements?"

"I want... the latest model..."

Chen Qi stared at her, utterly disgusted. "...Okay, okay, I understand."

"Yay!" Hu Yao's sadness vanished instantly. She blinked and flashed a peace sign, mimicking Shen Nianxu's gesture. "It's a promise! A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"

Chen Qi was speechless. He knew that Shen Nianxu must have taught him this trick. That woman was a real tightwad and would never pay for the phone herself, so she taught Hu Yao to beg him.

Unfortunately, Chen Qi fell for this trick. This adorable little girl was entrusted to him by an elder he was related to, so how could he dare to say no?

"Of course, that's on the condition that you do a good job this time."

Chen Qi led Hu Yao to the entrance of a library.

"If you don't do a good job with this assignment, forget about the phone," Chen Qi said fiercely. "I've prepared a cat bed for you in the corner of the bookstore; you can sleep in it tonight!"

Hu Yao gave a somewhat awkward salute. "Roger that, sir!"

Chen Qi: "Call me boss!"

Hu Yao: "Yes, sir!"

Chen Qi: "..."
