A Scholar's Path as a Netherworld Bureaucrat

Don't buy this! The ending fell apart! Min Heng is a terrible student at a bottom-ranked middle school, a troublemaker by everyone's reckoning, with no interest in studying and a boundless talent for causing mischief. But no one knows he has another identity: an intern civil servant in the Underworld's Ghost Officer Division, and one of its top three most inspirational employees. Civil service benefits are fantastic. Some people may look like good-for-nothings, broke and down on their luck, but in reality they've already bought a house and a car and make a million a year. After getting rich, Min Heng never looked back from his life as a bad student~ A new notice from Fengdu's Underworld: The promotion examination, held once every hundred years, is coming up~ All departments and units, please take note. Staff who are still interns should start reviewing now. Anyone who fails the exam will not be eligible for this round of promotions!! (Pay attention!) Employees who don't pass shouldn't feel discouraged. The next promotion exam will be held in a hundred years, so please use that time to study hard and make the list of successful candidates! Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, and the yakshas and rakshasas have been preparing for a hundred years, red headbands inscribed with "Guaranteed to Pass" tied around their foreheads. They're ready to go. They've studied hard for a hundred years, all for this day. They're ready! And Min Heng, the worst of the worst at school, who hasn't touched a book in years: ??? Min Heng cautiously raised his hand. "I'm human. What standards will I be tested against?" A proctor said, "Given your special circumstances, we'll use human standards. Getting the top score on the national college entrance exam shouldn't be hard, right?" Min Heng: WTF??? [Horrified face GIF] All the Ox-Heads, Horse-Faces, Black and White Impermanences sighed in unison, sounding sour. (He really got off easy.) Min Heng: How did I not know all my coworkers were academic geniuses? Meanwhile, several little ghosts had already heard the news and were rushing over through the night. Sir! Don't be afraid. I was a physics teacher when I was alive! Sir! I once received a national scholarship... Sir! I... I, Min Heng, once a terrible student, began my journey to becoming a top scholar.
