996 Is a Blessing, and You Have to Compete Even Underground
Dusk settled over Qing Song Ridge Modern Cultural Cemetery, bathing it in a dim yellow glow.
Lin Qi had just dealt with a bizarre complaint: a family member claimed the QR code on their father's urn wouldn't connect to the "Heavenly Wi-Fi signal" and suspected the urn was a fake.
Holding his clipboard, he rubbed his temples as he stared at the backend of the inexplicably appearing Underworld Grassroots Civil Servant Management System on his computer.
A red dot blinked on the screen as a new message popped up: "[Urgent] Stranded spirit 'Zhang San' in District B-734 of your jurisdiction's City of Wrongful Deaths (ID: DZ-000734).
Due to missing documents, the reincarnation work order has been rejected more than 300 times. Today is the final deadline for processing. If it is missed, the responsible party will be held accountable under the Underworld Backlog Accountability Regulations (that's you, rookie)."
Lin Qi opened Zhang San's file and found that the required documents were a "written letter of forgiveness from a living relative" and an "overdue human household registration certificate from 300 years ago."
"What the heck..."
Lin Qi muttered, "This System is even worse than the municipal bureau's administrative approval system."
Just then, the strange piece of ancient jade he'd picked up earlier that day grew slightly warm.
A line of virtual text, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes:
[Enable "Present-Day Connection Permission" and issue a "Special Electronic Travel Permit" to the ghost "Zhang San" in your capacity as a "Grassroots Cemetery Administrator"?]
[Warning: This action will permanently change your definition of "reality." ]
[Yes/No]
